Many people in the comments articulate why they believe that Christians hate them. Read them. They aren’t lying. Christians do say horrible hurtful things. In the comments there are kind loving posts from Christians that are rebutted by people who have experienced the exact opposite too many times for us to wave off.
Read the comments after most any story on a controversial subject. Real or trolls, the “christians” are often the most derogatory and mean people in the whole thread. They are who lost people read and believe represent us. I am sure that often times they are correct and that they are reading the unfiltered thoughts of carnal Christians. In the video Charlie displays how we should interact with unbelievers. And even better he gives the credit directly to the Holy Spirit.
The pushback we get from the world is in large part reciprocal at least from their perspective. They act as if they’re expecting to be attacked because they have been somewhere along the way. As I have said before, tone matters. We need to be Spirit controlled when we speak the Truth.
For context, the women he is talking to have Only Fans pages. There is a part of the conversation where one gal explains that she “needs” the money but even if she didn’t she would continue. Charlie asked if he could ask her a very personal question, do you have a good relationship with your father? Her reaction was heartbreaking to me as a father of three daughters.
I must note that these ladies are lost and need the Savior. Maybe we should think of them in that context before we get all loaded up for war. They are damaged but not irredeemable. We need to be careful that we aren’t kicking people who are already down. Keep in mind that what we say and how we say it is also read and digested by any number of other people who see our words that we aren’t aware of. My post may be a dagger through the heart and soul of someone not even in the conversation.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
