This is why I've never been one to use t...Yup.<br /><br />This is why I've never been one to use the term "tolerance". The church cannot preach both love and hate at the same time. If people disagree with the PCUSA on ordination or (soon) marriage, I think there's a place for them in the denomination, if they want to stay for other reasons. <br /><br />And this part, "Obvioiusly, those with harmful views don't think they are harmful. They think they are all about love and righteousness" is the crux of the matter.<br /><br />These people do not understand that love is a relationship, not something you inflict on someone else. If someone says they "love" you, and it feels like hate, then it isn't really love. Period. As a grown adult, I'm positive that I've been around long enough to know the difference. Their arrogance and indifference to the notion that their "love" isn't love and isn't wanted is one of the biggest disconnects in the church today.<br /><br />But they can call their hate "love" if they wish, as long as they keep it to themselves and not inflict it on others, who have not asked for their "love" and do not want it.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274395216929104919noreply@blogger.com
