It is not OK to post on social media things that mock other believers and refer to them as idiots or morons … consider the other side of the coin. If you then make others angry and cause THEM to sin, Scriptures has things to say to you!
First … this was in my reading from The Word On Fire Bible today and it talks about anger in a whole new light that I don’t recall from my previous readings of Matthew’s gospel:
Jesus says this: “You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder’; and ‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire.” (Matthew 5:21-22 NRSV)
What I noticed in my reading today is that Jesus is regarding ANGER as worse than MURDER. Those who consider abortion as murder (which I think it is) *AND* get ANGRY about it and begin to antagonize others, it is like a double whammy, a double trap… you could be liable to hell fire yourself, plus if you cause others to get this angry, then Scriptures has something to say about that as well:
Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! 2 It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive.” (Luke 17:1-3 NRSV)
Don’t let politics place your soul in danger. Vote the way you wish. Period.
