Awww. That's so kind! Thank you :)

Wow. So well put! 🥲

Maybe they could do a 1946 documentary watch party? I’m sorry you are surrounded by that 💔

Yes you're more than a man of God You're a great man of God because you're willing to face your faith and meet your God personally that is okay that is where I came You try to conform to their way of God and it will damage you because they're heterosexual. Or maybe there another gay person hiding but don't let it bother you just remember it takes more strength to do what you're doing than to conform and play like your righteous for the sake of righteousness sake Jesus was a historical figure and these men that wrote most of the Bible they had an agenda but you have to meet Jesus where he is and he never said nothing about gay people he actually spoke about eunuchs You need to read about the eunuchs my friend. I'm 63 and I went through hell too but you keep going because we've worked so hard and you're part of us and you're part of them and we're showing them what true love is unconditional love okay we love you unconditionally. Hang in there it will get better. ❤❤❤❤

Thank Luis!!!

😢

Basically my story too but MUSLIM version😂😢

Haha small world!

That's a nice sentiment and all, but I've never met Jesus let alone had him tell me that he knows and loves me, so how exactly can you proclaim it to be a fact? And no, "a book told me so" isn't proof.

@@scottmoore7588 it's a fact for them and it's a fact for me. If it's not your truth then there is no judgement at all. You shouldn't believe in something you haven't experienced. Often we can't experience something spiritual if we don't want to or are not willing to. If you want our experience of Jesus, then I would encourage you to seek a relationship with the one on the cross in private. Prayer if you will. Talking in your mind and/or out loud as sincerely as you can, asking all your questions, doubting, cursing, lamenting etc. Just you and well...nothing, at least at first. Keep going and also, learn to be silent enough to listen for the answer. Think like a conversation, not a lecture. This takes time. I won't be so bold to promise anything will happen, but he did. I will just "testify" that it's true for me. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened. The 2 sections of books in the christian bible are called testaments because that's what they are, not an infallible rule book. They testify to the reality of God and God's love as manifest in history and interpreted by fallible people. The written testimony along with a living person doing the same is the most basic form of spreading the simple truth that God loves you and would rather die forgiving you than punish or alienate you. Nothing you have ever done or will do, can separate you from the love of God. Church and dogma are man-made and mostly screwed up. Jesus is real, alive and loves us. Queer, straight, religious, atheist...whatever...everybody. Hope this helps and it's heard as the invitation it is. I'm not saying you have to have this relationship to get out of hell. If hell ever existed, it's defeated. If death was just rotting in the dirt, Christ made the way for resurrection. All of that is well outside of physical proof I know and you don't even have to believe it IMHO. That's where the weird and wild reality of the Spirit comes in. It's not an empirical external fact, as much as, personal experience we wrestle with our whole lives. Not to torment us, but to bring us into greater love and peace that surpasses all understanding. Love and peace the world needs.

I hear on the daily from Jesus' PR team what a monster and horrid person I am, for who I am. Never met this Jesus fellow, he always seems to be out of the office when I try and visit. Since I've never met Jesus, only his representatives, I must draw my conclusions about Jesus' opinion of me from his representatives. If Jesus really loves me, he needs a better PR team.

@@sarah_757 Yeah, it's funny that Jesus or god or whatever apparently loves us and wants a relationship with us but can't be bothered to show up and tell us this himself. Cuz you know, I've never had a relationship with anything else that wasn't able to communicate with me, so why would I make an exception for god?

The bible has been revised many times with things taken out and then added many times for political reasons

In many ways religions are just cults with more members

Hey Rosemary. Before you tout what is a “blasphemy to God”. What’s the Hebrew translation of blasphemy mean? Are you aware that wearing mixed fabric is a blasphemy? Jews eating with Egyptians was considered a blasphemy. Eating shellfish is a blasphemy? Are you aware of those things. If you’re not arguing against those things that are also blasphemous and God is concerned about blasphemy then do you condemn those equally? The Bible doesn’t say that homosexuality is a choice which is all the more reason why it shouldn’t be condemned. Gay people didn’t choose to be attracted to who they are attracted to. I’m assuming you’re straight, did you choose to be straight or did that happen naturally? And that’s bad logic. Just because something isn’t in the Bible doesn’t mean that it’s outlawed. The Bible is silent on me making up my bed every morning. The Bible is silent on whether I should eat lunch at 12 vs 1:30. The Bible is silent on what specific job I should work at. Just because the Bible didn’t specifically mention something is not therefore implied that it is outlawed. The purpose of the Bible is to point us to the nature of God - that he is loving, kind, merciful and just. Everything in the Bible is not meant to be taken literally. And if you believe that then talk to me about how you’re obeying all 613 Old Testament laws? Even the woman caught in adultery, Jesus never condemned here. I doubt you’re coming in “love” as you said because you don’t have a personal relationship with anyone here. Worry about your own souls salvation and the stuff you’re doing that’s abominable to God

@@Ashdaesq well I’m not going to worry about my salvation because as a Christian God commands us to preach the gospel- and I don’t know where you got that Jews eating with Egyptians is blasphemous and so is shellfish but none of that is true- but you know what is? Killing a fellow human being, blaspheming Holy Spirit, homosexuality, adultery and practicing witchcraft-and all I can say is that homosexuality is not a choice and God created humankind for man to mate with woman- as for matrimony to be between man and woman

Dear God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can and the wisdom to know that one is me. ACA

Hey Rosemary, I don’t like to offend anybody even if that person deserves it, but you are making us aware that you have not done more than a cursory, shallow look at what the Bible says or doesn’t say on this topic. If you’re actually interested in learning about this topic (like genuinely interested in learning more of Gods love and less of using hate in his name) then I would suggest starting with in-depth biblical scholarly research on the topic including the book “God and the Gay Christian” as well as the documentary now available called “1946”. Good luck!!

@@Raddiebaddie well first of all I’m not spreading hate- and yeah your right God is love- or why else would he have sent Jesus Christ to be crucified to save all humankind? But yeah it’s also in the Bible that homosexuality is a blasphemy to God- not my words but Gods word- now that you dislike is something else but as a Christian God commands to speak of the gospel and sadly for you that includes homosexuality
