what "Christians" do to express God's love is hardly wrong...
Christianity encourages standing up for a life standard rooted in love, justice, and humility, which is far from being wrong. Religion isn't based in politics, the reverse is true. Consider every law man has made. Now think about why any wars, for whatever religion, supposedly started them. It's not a "christian" thing to war. It's a human thing. Jesus taught against war. 1. **Love Thy Neighbor**: Jesus taught, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). This principle emphasizes compassion and care for others, forming the foundation of a life standard that promotes harmony and respect. 2. **Justice and Mercy**: Micah 6:8 states, "What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Christians are called to uphold justice and mercy, reflecting God's character in their actions. 3. **Obedience to Authority**: Romans 13:1-2 encourages respect for governing authorities, as they are established by God. Supporting law and order aligns with this teaching, ensuring societal stability and peace. Having your Wiccan past, you might perceive these principles as overly structured or resembling political or military systems, which could feel restrictive compared to their more fluid spiritual practices. However, this perspective misjudges true Christians who support law and order. Christians advocate for these values not out of a desire for control but as an expression of their faith in a loving and just God. Their commitment to law and order stems from a desire to create a safe and equitable society, reflecting divine principles rather than human power dynamics. You may say I push my belief, but I say you have none to fall to, there is no hope in nothing. You can still act, and apparently prefer, human. I don't. You may not like my disargreeing with you, even judge me for it, but we are not at war.
