As a person of faith, I have been horrified to watch Christianity’s fall from grace in mainstream America. The former president’s legacy stands out as an embodiment of what is missing today from our leaders in Congress, and in church.
Taken in context it isn’t the gotcha you think it is. Matthew chapter 10 is about Jesus telling his disciples what to expect when spreading his gospel. He is sending them out as sheep among the wolves. He tells them to expect resistance, to expect to be flogged, imprisoned, and or killed. His message will pit sons against fathers, and mothers against daughters because his message is disruptive to the existing state of religion.

pointing to something as preposterous as the bible will never be a “gotcha”
