Let me start by saying that I love Christianity. It gives people purpose. It gives them hope and goals and community and a framework by which to live their lives. The problem is when conviction is spoken like fact. You BELIEVE in Christ and by all means, do that to your heart's content. I implore you, love a loving God.
But it takes some serious gall to sidestep conviction and all of the clear mistranslations and misrepresentations of The Word and go straight to speaking in facts. Conviction and morality, with the fervor of provable fact, without the actual proof, easily mutate into judgement and shame.
Those are the Christians who do more damage to the faith than the "HFSP" boys do to potential bitcoiners. Your faith is alleged as one of love and empathy and it is conveyed as condemnation and fury. Be careful not to assume that believing the word of God gives you His authority. You do not know another's story, another's mind or trials the way He does.
Be the warmth another needs to see that grace is a matter of striving for decency, not an obligation to enforce The Word you think you understand. And to bitcoiners, myself included, the honey and vinegar should be kept in mind too.
The world has enough aspersions cast. Bringing more to the fore doesn't help weary souls or savers. Be the warmth another needs.
