Put this way
Jesus taking to His disciples and through them to us, said,
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” Matthew 7:12.
Put this way in the year 2016 this means,
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.”
Jesus also told us,
“But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”Matthew 5:43-45.
If you are telling the world you are a Christian you should be doing all Jesus and the apostles said to do. You should as the writer of Hebrews states,
“Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14.
Please think about it.

Put this way in the year 2016 this means,
If you are
demonstrating against anyone.
You are telling them
they can demonstrate against you.
If you are
speaking out and trying to restrict the rights of others
given to them by the lawfully elected government.
You are telling others
they can try to restrict your rights.
If you are
imposing your morals however good they may be on others.
You are telling them
they can impose their morals on you, even if they are not as good as yours.
If you are
trying to impose your faith on others rather than presenting your faith.
You are telling others
they can impose their faith on you.
If you are judging others.
You are telling others
they can judge you in the same way.
If you
are telling the world you are a Christian
You should be telling the world
I love you
unconditionally.
