The extreme right conservative Republicans in those two states, the States I live and shop in, have increased their attacks on the Trans community and the LGBQT+. These men and women claim to be Christians and follow what Christ taught.
They seem to have forgotten, conveniently I might add, the scripture John 13:34-35. It is an inconvenient scripture and statement one of the disciples directly attributed to Christ. But it is one that would alienate their big-money backers and the extreme of the party they count on to get elected and stay in power. It is the power they are concerned with solely.
So remember this
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another."
John 13:34-35 (ESV)
There are no qualifiers or exclusions in this new commandment. He loved all of us, we should in turn love all and each of us. Not only if we meet certain politic truths or things that make us comfortable. ALL is all.
