1. Never assume just because someone is beating you with a Bible they’ve actually read it.
2. Even if a bible bully has read scripture they still don’t know squat if they don’t understand the punchline is love.
3. Bullying does not become Christian just because the weapon employed is a Bible.
4. Remember Jesus never saw, much less signed off on, the Bible, the creeds, nor the institutional church. A little humility is always in order.
5. And, finally, if as the Bible says the aim of Christianity is to love, then cruelty not unbelief is the ultimate heresy.
