You have heard it said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy'. But I (Christ Jesus) tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. (Mt 5:43-45)
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation. (Luke 11:4)
The easy choice would have been to file charges and salvage our human pride. The easy choice would have been to curse the gay activists, because they threw curses first. The easy choice would have been not to go there in the first place, because who needs to care about 'those' people anyway?
Before I became a follower of Jesus Christ, I used to believe that Christians were taking the 'easy way out'. I used to think that they were weak because they were 'afraid' to rebel. I used to feel they lacked love because they kept telling me what I 'should' do.
I was wrong. God was right.
There is a difference between loving our enemies and condoning their sin. We can love our enemies as we would want them to know Christ as their Saviour as other Christians do, but we also condemn the sins that they believe they are justified in living in. For example, we should love a murderer, not because he murdered but because Christ demands that of us for He wants all to be saved. But we also can sit on a jury and condemm that person to prison or death for his sin.
