Troubled by how many are wishing death on these people or are being snarky posting “witty” quips about the virus spreading and killing people

That’s so not ok

And I’d say you should be ashamed of yourselves but I know better—so little dignity

Punching down/ sideways https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1248726717365137415

And it’s really wild to see so-called Christians being ungodly and straight up vile about this

Clearly you need to revisit the text and relearn the gospel cuz anything short of immense empathy and purposeful prayer is not of God and certainly not of Christ

It’s weird to call them stupid but when folks say “hey...you believe in a talking snake” you get defensive like that’s not equally—nvmnd

What would Jesus do?

The man tortured and killed by the state for inspiring hope in the least among us towards who he extended empathy?

Would Jesus say “If they get sick that’s what they deserve?” or joke about them dying?

So let’s go to the text

Look up when you find the verse

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear”

Ephesians 4:29

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Matthew 9:36

Empathy extends to who have fallen prey to manipulative “leaders” as they are essentially leaderless

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”

Hebrews 13:3

Asé some of you need this reminder right now

“We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”

Romans 15:1

So many ways to go with this but go now let’s use the context of snark and haughtiness in the commentary. You staying home doesn’t make you better.

“But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?”

1 John 3:17

The closing of hearts is what’s really sending me. Like, that Christianity 101, folks. Vacation Bible School day 3

“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”

1 Peter 4:8

Remember that when you’re shaking your head at people going to church this weekend. Love covers...love earnestly to cover them

Now the whole book Job 31 is a READ but verses29-30 is it

Look up when you get there...



“If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him (I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse)...”

Get into the context tho

Finally

I know you were waiting for it

The verse every good Christian knows, amen? I said...amen somebody?!

“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles”

Proverbs 24: 17

So if you fixed your Christian mouth to even come close to whispering anything like “good” or “that’s what they get” in response to any reports of Trump supporters getting sick or anything like that...

What would Jesus do?

Not now, but when you stand to be judged tbh

Im not a Christian
I cosplayed one for half of my life
Took several courses, did a lot of faith-based work in my earlier years
Yeshua ben Yosef inspired me to become a social worker
I don’t adhere to John 3:16, the foundation of the faith
You should know that

I do think he was dope AF and did more in his short life than any of us could ever imagine. I’m not Christian bc I don’t subscribe to Nicaran assignment of divinity. That’s about it.

Just for full disclosure
