Every Christian who works in a public-facing business and refuses to serve people because of their gender, identity, race, etc … is *literally* telling them that despite being good enough for Christ to die for … they aren’t good enough to be served by that Christian.

too many christians think universalism means everyone goes to heaven when it really should mean all will be restored

The first thing Jesus would do at a Pride parade—is eat with everyone there.

The first thing Jesus would do on a refugee caravan—is feed everyone there.

The first thing Jesus would do at a religious meeting, is leave to go back to the parade and the caravan.

Follow him.

@mycalfdoll Absolutely agree that this should never be an either, or.

[Jared Price @jared_price]

@savedavenger Absolutely. It's a great exercise in putting yourself in someone else's shoes. How does your character get treated because of what they believe? How do their beliefs lead them to treat others? Does it matter if their beliefs may be fictional? Would you break bread with them?

.@StrongBadActual It does a geek dad's heart good when his 15-year-old comes running excitedly to him to share when he is greeted by this screen upon launching Minecraft.

@daveschmittou When testing looms over the entire year of instruction, both students and teachers lose the ability to invest in the process over the tested result, and the complete investment in the extrinsic motivator of the test sabotages the ability to build intrinsic motivators.

I believe homophobia and transphobia are two of the greatest evils facing American Christianity today.

But here's the thing... NONE of it is rooted in Jesus or the Bible. It’s rooted in societal change.

In other words, anti-LGBTQ+ people are caving to culture.

@rgarton79 So, not only must you display them, but you must display them in KJV.

[Jared Price @jared_price]

@stewartdantec Wish I could recall the source, but paraphrasing something I listened to recently, "Is church a 'boot camp for glory' or a 'hospital for healing and learning to heal?'"

[Jared Price @jared_price]

@rgarton79 @BriceCollin Lucky. Same school, but we had to figure out how to get an analog modem to dial into the college system so we could use Telnet, Kermit, and Gopher.

Well I kinda love this. 🎃🖤

Don’t be nice to the oppressed. Help destroy the systems that cause their oppression.

Don’t be kind to the marginalized. Actively speak against their marginalization.

Ocasional niceness and performative kindness changes nothing.

The manger tells us that everyone deserves a roof over their heads. The donkey tells us that the messiah is not a man of war. The table tells us that there is bread and wine for everyone. The cross tells us that forgiveness is for all.

Jesus was radically inclusive.
Are you?

Let me tell y'all why I'm so passionate about kids in church:

making churches safe and loving communities for messy, loud, wiggly children is a direct confrontation to our obsession with power, status, productivity, efficiency, and control.

[Jared Price @jared_price]

I keep rereading Luke 10:25-37 and just can't find the part where the Samaritan pulled out his sword and struck down the robbers. I've always read that passage as a call to join with the suffering to help bear their burdens. Have I missed something?

The problem with SCOTUS looking to whether a “right” is “deeply rooted in our history or traditions” is that our history and traditions are filled with genocide, slavery, brutality and misogyny. Why should we limit our “rights” to things that have only existed for those in power?

[Matt Martens @martensmatt1]

What makes Jesus’ command to love our neighbors so revolutionary is that he defined our “neighbors” as including our enemies.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One lesson that we Christians have not learned in the last 2,000+ years is that Jesus had no political control over the Roman Empire and he still changed the entire world.

We keep trying to change the world the way the Roman Empire did, instead of the way Jesus did.
