Jesus Teachings Welcomes All
What are Jesus' teachings in a Nutshell?
At its core, the message of Jesus can be distilled into one profound truth: we are all one. We are quite literally and collectively one, as a single human family, interconnected not just through blood, but through spirit, bound together as children of the same source—what Jesus referred to as “our Father" is ultimately the greater universe we are all products and reflections of. We are not separate from each other despite what our egos lie to us.
With that in mind, no church that truly follows Jesus’ teachings would ever turn away or exclude someone from the LGBT community—because we’re all part of the same human family. A simple way to tell if a church is really living out what Jesus taught is to see how it treats people from that community. If it welcomes them with love instead of judgment, it’s on the right path. If it condemns or rejects them, it’s missing the point of his message.
His teachings were intended to terminate any division, hierarchy, and exclusion, and instead healing the illusion of separation between us and restoring harmony among all people. The threat of ending human egos, individuality and separation was why he was killed. A termination to his message was intended to preserve the human ego and our free will rather than surrendering to the greater will of the universe.
Jesus made it clear that choosing not to tap into the joy that already exists within us is like ignoring a built-in switch for happiness—it’s there, ready to be turned on. His teachings centered around the idea that we’re all deeply connected, not unique, separate, distinct or fundamentally different from one another, no matter what your mother told you growing up. Embracing that unity means reminding ourselves regularly that we are one human family. It also means staying aware when we slip into judging others or creating conflict, and doing our part to get back on track—choosing peace, understanding, and connection instead.
Jesus intentionally used language like “our Father” and referred to all others humans as our brothers (siblings) to reinforce in our minds that we are all part of one singular family. He wanted us to internalize this truth: we are one. Therefore, your treatment of others—no matter who they are—should reflect the love, compassion, and care you'd show to your own immediate family. If you find yourself judging or hating others, you’re not embodying his teachings. You’re clinging to ego. Remind yourself that we are all family often, say it in your mind or verbally to yourself. Extend your love and blessings and forgiveness to everyone whenever the opportunity arises, with no exceptions.
It should deeply concern Christians today that the very name “Jesus” and the word “Christianity” now evoke discomfort and even revulsion for many. This isn’t due to the teachings of Jesus themselves—which remain radical, beautiful, and benevolent—but because of how far mainstream Christianity has drifted from them. If modern Christianity was synonymous with love, acceptance, unity, and universal oneness, it would inspire joy, not dread. But instead, it has often become associated with judgment, exclusion, and hatred—practices entirely antithetical to what Jesus taught.
If your instinct is to judge, condemn, or dehumanize others—especially those who differ from you—you have already abandoned the foundation of Jesus’ teachings. He taught that we are all brothers and sisters, one divine family. The moment you see someone as “other” or beneath you, you’ve already failed the most basic spiritual instruction he gave.
This is not a faith of cherry-picking. Jesus didn’t offer vague suggestions; he gave clear, consistent guidance: love your neighbors, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, turn the other cheek, and treat others as you would treat your own family, because they quite literally are. His message was a blueprint for dismantling the ego and its need to judge, exclude, and dominate, so we may restore divine unity.
Modern Christianity, however, has been so infiltrated by ego and hatred that cruelty has become normalized. I've spoken with Christians who express delight in the suffering of immigrants—not because justice is being served, but because people who “don’t belong” are being driven out. I've witnessed other Christians display no sympathy for children with cancer, justifying it with outdated notions of "generational curses", pointing to Old Testament verses to support their opinion. Most recently I had a conversation with an older self identified Christian woman who said she had no problem killing a protester by running them over with her car simply because the law would permit it. How does this demonstrate loving thy neighbor? How does it support the case that this is a country built on a Christian foundation? Her words were "I do what I need to do" She is undoubtedly reading from a Trump branded version of the bible.
This is why the Old Testament must be approached with care. It contains passages that explicitly condone violence, hatred and even murder towards members of the LGBTQ community and unfaithful spouses—teachings which Jesus never endorsed and directly contradicted. To weaponize these verses today is to betray everything Jesus stood for.
This message is especially relevant to the many conservative Christian groups today who have normalized hate and bigotry so thoroughly that these behaviors now define public perception of the faith. Tragically, many have become the loudest and most visible ambassadors for Christianity, deterring potential followers who are seeking spiritual growth, not spiritual warfare.
Their hatred is so consuming that even Jesus’ own teachings can’t override it. Many hide behind a misinterpretation of John 3:16—thinking that a mere declaration of belief in Jesus is all that’s needed, while ignoring the lifestyle and spiritual transformation Jesus actually called for. This creates a loophole for hate to flourish in mainstream Christianity as long as they put "Christian ✝️" in their social media profiles.
The irony is glaring: LGBTQ pride and other events—often mocked or condemned by conservative Christians—are frequently overflowing with the very spirit that Jesus preached: joy, acceptance, celebration of humanity, and unconditional love towards others. These are the virtues Christianity was meant to embody. And yet, so many so-called Christians respond not with love, but with hostility, sometimes even violence. Simply put, this is not “loving thy neighbor.” It’s hatred disguised in a religious mask.
So what’s the solution? It begins in the heart. Remind yourself every day: we are one family, eternally connected with our father, our greater source, and united as its children. Let go of any judgments—especially superficial or cultural differences. You cannot trigger spiritual enlightenment while hating or condescending towards others. Full stop. No amount of mental gymnastics, theological loopholes or angry sermon can override this universal truth. For many, they think their "place in heaven" is secure simply because they declared their belief in Jesus. However, you need to actually practice and follow his lifestyle instructions in order to trigger the spiritual enlightenment within us he referred to as Heaven. Those were benevolent instructions constantly reminded us of our shared unity and oneness as family.
If Jesus were physically here today, would he stand with those spreading hate in his name—or with those embodying compassion, love, and unity?
And finally, review the problematic memes and messages permeating Christian communities—mocking or pushing back on calls for peace, coexistence, and unity. Many even use the name of Jesus to reject and attack the very ideals he died to protect. They spit on his message while claiming to speak in his name.
Case in point below, a recent Christian meme discouraging the most basic Jesus teachings of coexisting with each-other while using Jesus' name in an attempt to give this hateful message against unity weight.
