Hate speech, Christian teachings don’t jibe

In the last semester and the last few weeks, the Yale campus has been grounds for hateful speech. As a Christian social justice group, we have been troubled by all of these incidents of bigotry, but most especially the hate proliferated in the name of the Christian community.

Hi, I know you wrote this some time ago so IDK if you'll receive this, but I was curious to your stand on Homosexuality? Now I'm seeing your tolerance as perhaps maybe to tolerant. I'm in no wise trying to be judgmental, I'm just stating how I seen the article. Jesus was very tolerant when it came to people. He walked & associated with many people, but one thing he always did was taught, aside from Love, was repentance & truth! Now once again I'm not trying to judge, but provide honest criticism. Sin is sin & it's a Christians job to combat sin! Now I've been & every Christian has been in the place where we see sin & act as if it's not there, or we don't want to offend, but how will the World know the right way to walk if we don't show them? My guess is if Christ lived in the World today he would be called a hate-monger because he tells it like it is, even when it offends somebody! I don't think gay bashing is right, but I know being gay isn't right either, so where do you start? You should never drive anyone away, but if they can't respect your stand in life, then there's nothing you can do about that. We as Christians should have love & compassion for everyone, even our enemies. As written in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, It (Love) does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It's a fine line to walk, but then again we're called to walk the narrow path!!!

God Bless
