Families: This is Not About PRIDE

Were Jesus here, though I don’t think He would marry two men or two women, I do think he would bless each of them when they came to listen at His feet or to welcome Him into their home for a meal. I think He would consider the members of that household a family.

I also think He would recognize they shared a household, both cared for any children, so were both entitled to share finances, taxes to Rome, medical expenses, and possessions.  If one passed away, I think Jesus would not hesitate to consider the other as next of kin and continued guardian of the children, as would others who had known and loved them. I think the family would grieve within a loving community.  I think Rome wouldn’t care as long as they got their money.

To me, Jesus would love and teach while everyone else would be kind, fair and see the truth in the obvious. Neither God nor Jesus ever condemned love. God’s army is clothed and armed in the strength of love. God gave His son to die for love. Jesus suffered willingly for love. Love always wins. 

Truth, love and the obvious.  Laws against these things should be abolished.
