Each day (well, almost) my wife and I read the scriptures out loud to each other. Today we read 2 John:
9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
As I pointed out to my wife, here we find that it is, indeed, very Christian to exclude some types of people. ‘Inclusiveness’ and ‘diversity’, for their own sakes, are NOT Christian teachings. I won’t receive him in my house. I won’t ‘bake the cake.’
I mention this because I was recently castigated by some atheist on Facebook for being unChristian for my lack of inclusiveness.
I’m always amused by non-Christians, who apparently have never read the Scriptures, telling Christians what they should believe.
