I don't really know how to explain my religion. I'm a christian, but not one of those bigoted ultra conservative "christians" you're used to hearing about. I'm one of those christians that has gay friends and will go to pride with them. And maybe gay really is against the bible, but that doesn't mean I'm the one doing it. I mean "love thy neighbor" right? It is literally against the bible to "hate" gays. And I think it is possible for someone to be gay and still be christian. I mean, I've heard of people who were sexually attracted to the same sex and they would go to church and "pray the gay away" but does it work? No, I personally have never heard of it working. So, it's not fair that this person was created and became gay unintentionally, then when trying to "pray it away," it didn't work. God LOVES gays. God loves everybody, right or wrong. In the end, only God can make the judgement, you cannot. I'm one of those christians that will go to the women's march because I do believe that women too deserve to be recognized and have equal rights. I don't know if it's against the bible that women are not allowed to be equal to men. Maybe I need to read the bible more carefully. However, it would not be fair if that was true; that men be more powerful and be in control of women. Because so far the world has only had men in charge, and it's not going very well. I'm one of those christians that doesn't base my political views off of my religion. Keep religion separated from politics, it's what God wants. I mean, why would he encourage politics? It keeps us more separated. It's evil. I'm one of those christians that believes you cannot call yourself christian and still be a white supremacist and racist and bigoted. I hear a lot of christians (mostly catholics, actually) claim they have love for God yet they are still so full of hate and I just refuse to believe you are a christian when you claim to think your race is superior to others, or when you think your life is more important than another's who is in need. If you have the nerve to condemn someone to hell, you are not a christian. If you don't want to love or be friends with someone because of their sexuality or race or preferences, something that has NOTHING to do with you and affects your life in NO WAY, you are not a christian. Shoot, even if you feel like they are your enemy, you're supposed to love them too. I have gay friends, bi friends, trans friends, muslim friends, friends of different races and ethnicities, and I love each and every one of them. I will not judge them over something I cannot change, something that has no affect on me. I will judge them based on their kindness, heart, and spirit. I love all of them, and I believe they are in my life for a reason. The rest is left up to God.

ReplySome of your theology is suffering in my opinion. Now before you come at me I agree that we should love everyone equally and show kindness. I don't mean to judge you, I only want to help. You are more than welcome to ignore this comment if you believe you understand the Bible perfectly fine. I find this article very helpful in explaining the "submit to your husband" passages. It explains the conditions to why the Bible commands this. I agree with a lot in this interpretation and I hope it offers some insight! https://www.focusonthefamily.com/family-q-and-a/relationships-and-marriage/submission-of-wives-to-husbands
There are a lot of helpful resources out there. The bottom line is that you're putting God above everything and really want to glorify Him, you should be alright. Sorry if any of this was unwanted, and thanks for reading my comment. God bless!
ReplyWow. Amen to that.
ReplyGod loves gays, but not the act. The act is against the Bible and Christianity. We as Christians are supposed to hate sin, not people. People can be gay and no act upon it.
Being friends with the world, is being an enemy to God.

ReplyI am an atheist and someone who would never consider going to a pride parade or donating money to lgbtq groups, but I still have gay friends and we get along even though I don’t agree with their choices. It is fine to be friends with whoever is the point. As long as it’s double sided. To be a friend they have to be your friend too. Since I am not a Christian I have no idea what he believes in, but I am sure he cares about all people regardless of race sexuality or religion (I am not racist or anything I want to point that out because ppl make assumptions based on my opinion of the lgbtq community) I hope you figure it out 😊👐🏻🙏
ReplyFunny, this post was made 5 years ago back when I was in high school. I forgot all about it and now I am in college, and also I am very gay now so LOL to this entire thing. Also still spiritual and believe in God/ a higher being and still practice my own spirituality though I don't consider myself directly part of a religion anymore. A lot of identity finding and self discovery still being done. Just out of curiosity, why do you not agree if you're not religious, do you have a reason? Thanks anyway!
