As If
Intrinsic value is an assumption in Christianity. It should not be taken for granted without understanding where that sense of value comes from. Fellow Christians share a Father and should treat each other like family. Fellow humans share a Creator and should be respected as such. And Christians who are suffering are experiencing this for the very same thing we ourselves ought to be doing. Act like Jesus to whoever and wherever you can.
1. Treat everyone in the church on the basis of their relationship with the Father.
2. Treat everyone outside the church on the basis of their Creator.
3. Treat those who suffer with the same comfort you’d want in their situation.
