The police could have filed a hate crime but evidently it doesn’t work the other way.
You have heard it said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy'. But I (Christ Jesus) tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. (Mt 5:43-45)
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation. (Luke 11:4)
The easy choice would have been to file charges and salvage our human pride. The easy choice would have been to curse the gay activists, because they threw curses first. The easy choice would have been not to go there in the first place, because who needs to care about 'those' people anyway?
Before I became a follower of Jesus Christ, I used to believe that Christians were taking the 'easy way out'. I used to think that they were weak because they were 'afraid' to rebel. I used to feel they lacked love because they kept telling me what I 'should' do.
I was wrong. God was right.
“The police could have filed a hate crime but evidently it doesn’t work the other way.”
Apparently, the police are having trouble even remembering that the event occurred.
