I just saw a post on Facebook about the Bible. It said if you follow it click like or post a comment of amen. I've been a student of the Bible for over 30 years so I have more to say that just amen. For one thing the Bible and faith tend toward individual. The Bible tells us to be together as a congregation but the message is mostly to you as a person.
Too many people use their views and tried to impose them on those who don't see the message of the Bible. I would state this is categorically wrong. The disciples asked Jesus what they should do about the Pharisees that led people into their particular religious over exaggeration. His message is always resounded with me. He said "leave them alone. They are the blind leading the blind and they both shall fall into a ditch"
God has given us free will and many do not see the beauty of his truth. We are not to try to stop them physically or politically. God loves the sinner but he's not too fond of sin. Each person will answer for their own faith and actions. It is not a Christian's job to enforce their faith. We lead by example and I believe that is it.
