It is true, we are not only dividing ourselves based on LABELS, we actively seek NEW labels to create even greater division.
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Samaritan lives matter.”
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Children’s lives matter.”
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Gentile lives matter.”
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Jewish lives matter.”
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Women’s lives matter.”
Instead of saying all lives matter, Jesus said, “Lepers’ lives matter.”

It's true that people's lives matter, but on the issue of unity versus division, I'll take division over unity at the expense of Biblically revealed truth any day. Discarding truth for the sake of unity is evil.

And by the way, who's doing the labeling here? All you had to say was that people's lives matter.
With regard to the issue of truth, and of following Jesus, He said,
Matthew 10:35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36] and a man's enemies will be the members of his household.

Please quote the places where Yeshua said such things as you say in your scare-quotes. Otherwise your generalisations and paraphrasing of whole passages in such a way as you have done are really not even true but rather only your interpretations of various passages and parables to suit your agenda. Here is a real quote:
John 12:46-47
46 I am come a light into the world so that whosoever is faithfully-trusting into me should not abide in the darkness.
47 And if anyone hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but that the world should be delivered [saved].
Nice try Z. I'm not sure why the main point of the article is being ignored by other posters in favor of focusing on side issues.
"Involving ourselves within these issues — serving those who need justice — is an example of following Jesus that today’s Christians must adhere to, because throughout the world there are millions of people who are suffering. But many Christians remain simply apathetic, ignorant, or refuse to admit any problems exist."

If you cannot "serve justice" to the scripture you are talking about, by actually quoting from what it says accurately, then who picks and chooses just who it is in the world that "needs justice"? Of course that would be you who decides who is in need of some justice and your judgment is already shown to be partial because you favor the OP's misquoting of the words of Yeshua. Who else goes around misquoting famous teachers of any of the various other religions and belief systems? Do people love to run around misquoting Ghandi all the time like they do to the scripture in this forum? What about Buddha, or Muhammed, or Joseph Smith, or Ellen White, or maybe even Steven Hawking? Would you get away with such nonsense or be taken seriously in any of those other contexts if you did the same?

Love is NOT a feeling but a lawful interaction of sacrifices and commitment to another's good, best and beyond our better . you can't have unity without law and with out them being lawful and thus will not happen with a pack of usurpers , who are against everything you stand for and everything important to you. now I am done! because you aint pooh and this aint a cartoon . you are a usurper of all of God's laws where ever you can ! I know he is "your judge" and I also know you don't believe in him either and thus you will do anything you decide to do !

so is one's opinion--and you ain't a philosopher nor a biblical scholar?
LOVE IS A VERB....
GOD HAS ONE LAW----LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
Anything I decide to do is called FREEWILL!!!
