Loving My Enemies
He didn't say to throw out the recognition that when people are abusive to marginalized people, they are still my enemies.
All the injunctions that Christ gives to us to be loving, to show mercy, to have compassion, nowhere in those commandments is there a responsibility to be their friend, support their actions, or to affirm their worldview.
In what Christ taught, I would still tear down down the systems of inequality these people have built. I would reject and stand against that oppression in word and deed.
What he taught is that hatred for my enemies, retaliation, hatred, and revenge, should never be a part of those efforts.
The most loving thing I can do for white supremacists in the Church is to invite them to change, while refusing to be changed or swayed by them.
