DO NOT Tolerate The Intolerable! Biblical?
#SocialJustice and "Public Shaming". Is it "Christian" or, 'the right thing to do' to call people out publicly? "When they go low we go high..."? Do we? Really? Where is it written? Do "Christians" have to 'be nice'? I've long held that it's OK to proclaim and shame! Go ahead! Call 'em out! Call 'em ALL out!
Wrong is wrong. And, some would claim the "Two wrongs don't make a right" adage. But, if as Christians, ethicists, advocates of and for those on the fringes, the marginalized, if WE DO NOT Speak up, Speak Out, we are complicit and derelict in our 'duty' to those #Jesus entrusted to us!
This article, with which I adamantly agree - sums it up quite nicely. The same Lord that spoke about being 'meek-and-mild' was also fairly 'mean and wild'....
Public Shaming CAN Be A #Justice Action... [By the way, those of us in 'The Church' CAN and should be holding The Church accountable too]!
