Yes, I do still read the Bible.

"Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do. And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.

For instance, a person who has been around for a while might well be convinced that he can eat anything on the table, while another, with a different background, might assume he should only be a vegetarian and eat accordingly. But since both are guests at Christ’s table, wouldn’t it be terribly rude if they fell to criticizing what the other ate or didn’t eat? God, after all, invited them both to the table. Do you have any business crossing people off the guest list or interfering with God’s welcome? If there are corrections to be made or manners to be learned, God can handle that without your help."    Romans 14

There was an article floating around the internet saying that the Bible says we should be Vegetarian because we are supposed to care for animals or something like that.  In the comment section someone posted this response saying that it doesn't really matter what people eat.

Except...this verse has absolutely nothing to do with food.  And it got me pretty good.  I don't always see eye to eye with much of modern American Christianity.  But technically I guess I have to let God sort all that out.  However, when I see Christians hurting others in the name of Jesus, I most certainly will speak up.  And I see a lot of that happening on social media platforms.

This verse is about putting your theology, education, and understanding of scripture to the side and welcoming a brother/sister to the table.  Do you have the business of crossing people off the guest list or interfering with God's Welcome?   See Passion 2017, Carrie Underwood.  Except that Passion is not God's event.  It is a mans event.  If corrections are to be made, God can handle that without your help.  And yes....I know that applies to me as well.  I trust that God will make it incredibly clear to the American Family Association that it's ok for "sinners" to lead worship.

Beth Moore 

I remember who I used to be.  I changed.  And people like Christian leader Beth Moore tells me that I'm being used by the devil.  Well, maybe she is the one being used by the devil.  How is this for accepting all believers at Christ's table?  What if the TRUTH IS LOVE? What was that number one commandment, Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.  And God says, through scripture in Romans 1 that you can love him without ever knowing what  bible is or who Jesus is.

So....yeah.  I guess I'm not much better.  I'll let God sort out Beth Moore.  And instead I'll continue to focus my efforts on healing myself and many others relationships with God and Jesus that have been hurt by christianity.
