I believe it is worth stand up for what we believe, concerning our true and unique identity, the love of God and freedom from religion and legalism. Carlton Pearson's resolve to proclaim the gospel of inclusion and debunk misconceptions about a judgmental god is admirable, and he has his share of admirers as well as detractors and critics who dismiss him as a heretic. Like what someone wrote, the impact of a person's life can be measured with accuracy by the gap between one's enemies' hatred toward him and how deeply one's friends love him. Indeed, the greatest men and women who champion love, peace and liberty also have their share of those who hate them.
It reminds me of Jesus' words to His disciples in John 15 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
Yes, we do not belong to the world system that is based on duality, ignorance, and performance mindset. The world loves those who are equally blinded and subscribe to the concept of a petty god who sends millions to a literal hell, and the world hates those who proclaim God is unconditional love and has reconciled everyone to Himself. Jesus said the world did not know the One who sent Him, who is love, therefore they hated Jesus without reason. We are in good company, if we are hated by the religious world together with Jesus, Carlton Pearson and the like.
