When you see these platitudes “love trumps hate”, “love conquers all”, “love is love”… is it not frustrating that these are all coming from left leaning groups.
That's one of the rules for radicals. Try to use their opponents's beliefs against them even when they themselves don't believe the same.

I saw that on FB. The NFL wants to expand into Latin America so good for them.
I don’t hate people that are here legally or illegally taking entry level jobs that normally go to Americans poor. My lack of hate for them doesn’t mean I agree to them being here. They have to go back.

Jesus loved like no one else, and all the things that come along with that- forgiveness, mercy, justice, truth, etc. That is who he was and was what people remember most about him.
I don't know, I'd say the whole resurrection thing is what he is most remembered for.

Is his commandment to love more important than the commandment to not commit adultery?
Unequivocally, yes:
Matthew 22:34-46:
36“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

I am an atheist. Therefore, the left can't gaslight me with that "you're not a true Christian if you don't love open borders" bullshite.

I'm a Christian.
They can't gaslight me with it either.

This is the type of love, Europe will need before they are conquored.
The love of protecting your family.
From the Wolves that are in your country.

If you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind as well as your neighbor then committing adultery wouldn’t be an option now would it? Which is precisely why he quoted those two commandments specifically. It isn’t some gotcha that you are framing it to be but the basis for all life.

It’s sad to see a quote like this cause such divisive emotions, especially by Christians that are conservatives… is this sustainable? Anyone else wake up feeling a little convicted by their own initial reaction or the reaction from other people you respect as Christ followers?
If you’re looking for actual followers of Christ you’re looking in the wrong place here.

"some gotcha"? It couldn't be more clear.
Of ALL the Commandments in the Law of Moses, the first two are most important. That is the only answer to the question:

That's not a gotcha, that's the word of God.
What you are doing is equivocating. That is a big problem I see with a lot of Christians. They need to bend Scripture to suit their own biases.

Christian love involves calling people to repentance. Anyone preaching "love" without repentance is not preaching Christ.
I agree, but I’d also say anyone preaching repentance without clarifying what repentance actually means is preaching the wrong gospel. It’s changing your mind, not your ways.
Repent = “Metanoia” in the Greek = literally means to change your mind.
Thus repent and believe on Jesus means to change your mind on believing on anyone or anything else, including yourself and your good works, and believe on Jesus instead.

Distinction without a difference. It is impossible to change your mind and not your ways.

Sorry I disengaged for awhile…. Not sure if you will see this or not.
First two are valid, the 3rd not so much… not looking to convince anyone especially to win people over to my side.
Back to first question, anyone else wake up a little convicted by the “cringiness” of the billboard “the only thing more powerful than hate is love”. Again, I know in my brain that doesn’t mean what it says, especially the way I think of love, so in that I am immediately turned off to the message. However, that said message, LOVE, is fairly consistent a very big role in my faith.
Im sorry if I came across vague, wasn’t my intent, and more or less I was processing it myself as I’m listening to others (thoughtful) responses, such as your own.
To say I haven’t been vilified is sticking your head in the sand (not sure if you said that, but others have asked that question). One of the reaponses was “you and your people killed Charlie Kirk”… what’s more vilifying than that? This is a pretty important juncture where politics and faith intersect. There are several things as a Christ follower I would like to say, but in saying that, it would take a position that could be considered left leaning, and you are absolutely going to be vilified for that.
Is there still a “grey area” for Christian conservatives that genuinely care about their faith and that is what is primary in their life?

Social media… not many. I’m a big fan of CS Lewis, Tim Keller, John Mark Comer, NT Wright, Bonhoeffer and Dallas Willard.
Usually before I take a position, I’m going to see what they have said about these topics.
Is there anyone you recommend that I follow on social media? I have some reservations about social media guys because there is a following. Have the guys I listed are dead, so at this point they aren’t interested in pleasing someone because if secures their financial situation.

A man dying and coming back to life is pretty amazing. With that being said, Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead… we don’t follow Lazarus bc he was dead and he now lives, or anyone else that has died and has come back from that.
We follow Jesus because he is God and that God chose to interact with mankind in a personal manner, and in doing so brought literal heaven to earth in the process.

The change of mind brings on a change of behavior to different degrees in different people. We are not the judges of that or where they are in their walk with God. We are all sinners and if we think we have conquered most or even all of our sins then we are prideful....which is a sin...lol. God knows who belongs to him. But repentance in it's rawest sense is to change your mind about something. And if you really believe it then your attitude and behavior will follow.

Paul’s argument isn’t that God gets angry and starts punishing people for failing a belief test. He says humanity already turns away from what is good and true, and God’s judgment is described as “giving them over” to the path they’ve chosen — letting sin run its course rather than actively inflicting harm. That’s judgment as release, not rage.
Explain this further if you don't mind please: "sin run its course"
quote:
It’s an offer of transformation and healing in a world already bent toward self-destruction.
I don't feel the need to take such an offer. My life is fine. Even if the worst happens, it doesn't make sense to pretend to take an offer from a being who is apparently not actively offering it to me in person.

Because I’m 100% certain if I posted something that reads “I love both democrats and republicans” the same, that I will be told there is no place for this.
If I say, hey “you’re wrong on this issue” if you are a Christ follower, I am the same as the guy that killed Charlie Kirk. Christian conservatives are 100% wrong right now on the treatment of immigrants. We should be able to say “this behavior is wrong” in the treatment to the individual regardless of not of the end goal is correct.
So yes, I’d say a “grey area” is needed. Perhaps I’m the only one that feels this way, but maybe not. And if I’m wrong, I’m fully willing to own that and say “I’m 100% conservative Christian”, but I can’t right now.
