So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:12
It’s too bad that everyone couldn’t utilize such a simple yet powerful sentence. The Golden Rule is one of the most important ideologies to follow regardless of whether one is a believer in God or not. Just think about how much more wonderful life would be if everyone followed The Golden Rule. Jesus Christ knew that this is how people should live, and that’s why he preached it. This sums up just about every law, not only in the Bible, but of most religions texts. Do not kill, because you don’t want to be killed. Do not judge, because you don’t want to be judged. Do not harm, because you don’t want to be harmed. I could go on like this forever. There are some who may say, ‘I don’t mind being judged.’ Really? I find it very difficult to believe that there are those who are perfect. I’m quite far from perfect. I have no problem admitting that. This is why I can’t and won’t judge other people. There are way too many people casting judgement on others.
One of the examples I would like to use is Westboro Baptist Church. They believe they are all so righteous and perfect? I sincerely doubt it. They have the nerve to say, ‘God hates homosexuals.’ I have an idea – Let God decide how he feels. God will be the One who judges all of us, not them and their hate-breeding ideology. I’m not going to say anything judging Westboro Baptist Church, but please think about what they are saying, and the message they are condoning. When homosexuals or Muslims get attacked it’s because of people like Westboro Baptist Church. They are encouraging violence and hatred which is something I think Jesus and God would disapprove of. Please stop hating. Please pray for these individuals. Maybe, if enough people pray, these individuals will realize the importance of The Golden Rule. How do you feel about this?
