As much as it pains me to say there’s plenty of people who claim to be Christians but spew hateful lies. What made me a progressive Christian however? It had something to do with growing up and seeing the world. I grow up being taught to love thy neighbor, be good to others, and hold no hate. I grew up and I go through ups and downs. I get hate thrown at me and I learn more about myself. All this time I hold my morals of caring for others and find comfort in my religion. My religion helps me and I want to keep doing good and makes me want to make up for some of the pain caused by those who spew their hateful lies. I hope everyone has a good day and thanks for reading

    The so-called “State of Israel” today is not the Israel of the Bible. The Israel of the Bible today is the Church. Christ’s miracles were performed for Israel- but the Israel of the Bible. Not the so-called “State of Israel”. And no, I am not Anti-Semitic. Such a thing is disgusting. But the ethnic Jews need Jesus as much as the Palestinians do. Neither of them can get to The Father except through Him. Like all of us.

    Anyway, thank you for being understanding of me. I apologise for how I acted. I expected an uncaring response from a place like this like I have many times before. I’ve had people on this platform wish me death. I’ve left a serious comment.

      Ooohwie. This is Open Christian, not Gatekept God. Anyway, none of that has anything to do with what I said.
