Jesus walked along side the prostitutes, the sick, the unclean.
The pious and preachers were not his people, the disowned and exiled were.
I don’t ever want to hear God as an excuse for homophobia, “discipline”, or as a way to look down upon anyone or cast someone away. Because when we get that way we are straying from goodness. No one is close to perfect but we must try our best to love.
