exmo.com comes to WashPo

I like the way Jesus showed love to the money changers in the temple. Sometimes loves hurts.

[Tone Loc]

Women and homosexuals vying for equality are hardly money changers.

I never said women and homosexuals are money changers. But can you imagine the wrath of Jesus had the money changers at the temple been homosexuals? Or better yet, women homsexuals? It would have got crazy up in there!

If that editorial was simply a call to increased inclusiveness you might have a point, but unfortunately the hyperbole and inaccuracies drown out that message.

Or if Christ himself didn't set terms to accepting and following him.

[Flystripper]

sometimes it happens by total accident, but that is when we need to just forge ahead. Am I right?

If Christ really loved everyone the same then he'd save everyone, regardless of their inclination to follow him.

Reading her bio only makes her article that much more unfortunate IMO.

Yes, I'd expect much better considering her background.

[Jeff Lebowski]

If the LDS Church is really Jesus’ Church in the last days, one would think that such Christ-like attributes as love, charity, and compassion TO ALL would supersede any rules or doctrine. Jesus taught us to love one another. Period. He didn’t say love one another, except for the apostate, or the gay, or __________ fill in the blank. We are commanded to love EVERYONE and certain policies, and even Church history, reflect a sense of picking and choosing whom you will treat fairly.

If Jesus Christ is truly the head of the church, love would not be limited. It would be given to all inside and outside The Church regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation. If this were truly Christ’s church it would be open to all.

I do not see why a call to be more inclusive is met with such disdain and hate. If rules and doctrines are more important than the love for an individual, then it is fair to say some of you have "got Jesus" but do not "get Jesus."

The WashPo editorial covers some issues that are perfectly valid criticisms of the church, but she butchered the message with her axe-grinding. Ironically, this woman who claims to have been so horribly misunderstood and mistreated exhibits zero nuance, empathy, or balance in analyzing how or why people reacted to her the way they did. Somehow everyone in the church is part of a soul-crushing, woman-hating conspiracy. Her essay is the religious equivalent of a Sean Hannity or Michael Moore rant.

And BTW, telling people that they don't "get Jesus" is probably not going to get you very far with this crowd.

Unfortunate, that she decided to become a left hander.

32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

WJD that?

Well yes, except that it isn't so much ironic as it is the way the spiritually wounded often behave.

[Indy Coug]

Indicative of spiritual wounding or not, it definitely is ironic.

I think she is very pretty. I wonder why she didn't get married?
