Description
This is Just something to let out of my chest.Recently, I, Like others out there were bothered with the Question whether LGBT (Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals Transgenders and such) love is right or wrong? Take Note, I'm Not Trying to Say that I'm Right and you're wrong. (seriously, that would be incredibly Stupid and Immature.) and I'm Not trying to Offend anybody. I'm Just stating My Own Opinion on this subject.
these questions never seemed to stop bothering me, And So I Asked God for help about this situation. The first thought that came into My Mind is to do some research about the Topic of Homosexuals, Bisexuals And Such. but Mostly I've come across some videos or Articles that Say that Homosexuals will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God, and therefore will Go To Hellfire and die there. and that Only Increased my level of Worry since I Know some friends who might be Homosexual but I'm not entirely sure. As you've already know, I'm also a bit Unsure of my own sexual identity. Since I mostly consider myself Bisexual. here are some verses from the Bible that Actually TALK On Homosexuality that are considered ''Clobber Verses'' by most from what I've learned.
''God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.''
~Romans 1:26-28
'' do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.''
~1 Corinthians 6:9-11
''Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.''
~Leviticus 18:22
''If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.''
~Leviticus 20:13
Now These verses are what Some Christians or Other Believers do to Justify their own beliefs and Use these verses to Judge Others who Are Gay, Lesbian and Such. And it Literally Kills them from inside out. All It Brings is Fear and Condemnation even for Christians who Might Be Homosexual. it caused many LGBT People To Fall into Depression and in Some cases even Commit Suicide. Is This Really the Right Way to treat others who have differences from us? Should We really Judge them for the Choices they make? Do you Know what the Term Homosexuality even Means?
We All Know what Happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. they were cities full of really bad people who were Drunkards, Rapists, Murderers and other criminals who were Proud, Arrogant, and thought they were more important than the others. remember what happened with Lot?
''And they called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them.’
This is the fabled Sodom & Gomorrah passage. Sodom and Gomorrah were sister cities. It’s pretty clear in Genesis 13:13 that “... the people of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.”
What was their sin? They were ruthless in their acquisition of wealth, power and territory — and they oppressed the poor and took advantage of the weak and were terrible at hospitality.
That’s clear in the Bible, too.
The ancient Jewish Prophet Ezekiel remembered the sin of Sodom as such:
This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it. — Ezekiel 16:49,50
Lot took in two men (they were angels disguised as Humans.) inside his house, while there were a lot of men Chasing them down and wanted to Have Sex with them. but did they actually wanted to know the two men? No. All they cared about is Sex, Sex, and....Sex. and other bad stuff. regardless of what others thought. and that's one of the main reasons God destroyed those cities for their Injustice.
and Besides, the original Bible was written in Greek or Roman Language And it was translated so many times for others to Know what the book was trying to tell and the messages it tries to convey. The term ''Homosexuality'' Did not even Exist back in the first century until the word itself was added in the year 1946 in the English Translations of the Bible.
Take a look at This Article to read the information to see what I Mean: www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-ni… )
And Watch this Video I Found: www.youtube.com/watch?v=leIcLY… )
As You've seen, The Original New Testament was mostly referring to Male Prostitution, Molestation, Child Rape and the frequent use of Sex more for Idol Pagan worship rather than for loving committed relationships. 'cause I Know that Those Things are Incredibly bad and should be brought to Justice.
Now I Know that some of you might think I'm A Fool. That I'm already Aware of. I Mean, We All Make mistakes and None of us are perfect. I Even talked about this topic with a good friend of mine. And I've come to the conclusion that Same Sex love is indeed wrong, and according to God's design of Nature he made Adam and Eve, Male and Female so that they'd be together. but that still haven't answered my questions regarding the LGBTQ in general. So I Had to talk with Gabby about this topic. and I've come to the conclusion that it Is Wrong. But She also taught me something important: That we're not ones to Judge others for the choices they make. there's an Important Law in the Universe that talks about Free will. Even if we do things that we believe is right, it still is considered wrong. but that's the concept of free will. after all God Did Give us the capacity for Freedom,Right? Some christian believers actually support their friends who are Homosexuals. but there are some who are self righteous who persecute Homosexuals for their choices, Judging them for their own free will. this is what A Religious Extremist would do. being A Religious Extremist is Highly Dangerous and it won't do Good to Anybody. it Brings more Harm than Good for those who are content with the choices they make. (whether good or bad) it pretty much brings death to new Oppurtunities. that's What I Believe I Felt in recent months of Depression and Anxiety. because I Myself felt condemned and judged for the choices I Make, and yet All I Want To do is the right thing. (Pretty much like what Happened with Sophie, My OC, Who suffered from PTSD After being Tortured almost to death.) And You wouldn't want to be in that state either. It won't do you any good. because As I Said earlier, We all Make Mistakes. and What do you think being Human means? because That's what we do. We make mistakes. and yet sometimes out of those mistakes come the most amazing things, you see.
Look at one of My OCs for example...The Goddess Shevyria's duty was to guard the Portal of Convexity to prevent Dark creatures from entering in. and yet upon meeting Link, (the first hero) and the Goddess Hylia, whom she came to be friends with She had a dilema in her mind. One of the Laws she wasn't allowed to break was not leaving this dimension. and yet She did so, in order to save her friends. which sadly ended in failure. So She continued to watch over the realm until the existence of Nadrah, A Demon with God-Like Powers came to be out of the Dark Realms and wanted to take the Triforce to rule over time and space itself. Shevyria couldn't allow this to happen, as Both Her People (the Lythians) and Hylia's People were in Grave danger. She disguised herself as a mortal and led her People to War against Nadrah. She knew what would become of her eventually if she broke the laws she was tasked to keep. but she couldn't allow The People she loved to be enslaved by Nadrah's tyranny. Knowing that Nadrah would return eventually, Shevyria was aware that she broke those laws out of free will. and its all in order to protect loved ones, even if it meant she had to die as result. that's also one of the main reasons her Soul currently resides in A Mortal Body. (and we all know who that is.) She gave up Her Title ''Goddess'' for what she believed was right. even if it was viewed as wrong in reality.
I Also Learned an important lesson from Naruto. Its true that All those who break the rules are Scum. but those who Abandon their Friends, are even Worse than Scum. But Those who don't care about others' feelings...Are regarded as The Ultimate Scum! if I Had a choice, I'd rather stay a regular Scum than go beyond that point. As Goku said, I'd rather be a brainless monkey than A Heartless Monster!
In the same way, that's How we should treat others regardless of their Races, Sexual preferences, and differences from us. They are Neighbours either way. Just as Jesus said. even if what they do is considered wrong, friend of enemy, we should give them the support they need. And I Know Jesus would do the same for LGBT People...be it believers or non believers. So let me ask you this, are the LGBT People of today Any Worse than the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and Idol worshippers of the Bible era? and more importantly...Are we any Better than them? or way more improtantly....Are we all better than Jesus?
We shouldn't be Proud and judge others for their choices like some extremists do. Who Are We To Judge for what they do? There's only One Lawgiver and One Judge. and that is God. What Good is there to Think of LGBT People as any less than us? and To Quote Optimus:
Were we So Different?
if some of your friends or family members were revealed to be Homosexuals, what will You Do? would you Judge and condemn them for their choice? Or would you give them the love and support they need as Any Neighbour does? If I Were to be in love with A Girl for example, would you Judge me for my Own personal Choice? or will you still see me as A Neighbour and a friend regardless of the choices I Make even if some consider it wrong?
God Made us All Special in his Eyes, and he loves us all Unconditionally. we all have our own Imperfections and Weaknesses. but let me tell ya Something, we are All Imperfect beings Loved by one Perfect God.
So there you have it. I'm not bashing on anyone. its Just Me and My own personal opinion. I Hope you understand what I Mean. and please no rude comments. have a good day.

You speak very wisely for you age Sophie!
I can you wish to be very loyal to your friends, and, if I'm not mistaken, willing to live according to God's way of life as well. (correct? )
And it is true what you mentioned about Jesus hanging out with LGBT people; He came to set free, and that includes tax-collectors, murderers, thieves, adulterers, even some religious fanatical Pharisees, worshippers of other gods/spirits, witches, demon-possessed...YOU NAME IT!
And according to the Bible, it is probably true that we are not better than those who were in Sodom and Gomorrah - although we cannot be certain - but is not then the following true? That we have been in that position, and now we have beheld a Light that is Jesus Christ, Who sets free from the burden and penalty of sin by cleansing of His blood to all who would accept it. But knowing the Light and willingly refusing to follow it is folly - sad, but folly.
If I may go on on this, what I find so strong (and good) about what you mentioned here is that we are, indeed, imperfect. And sin is, sadly, still part of our lives. And that's exactly why Jesus' blood covers ALL sin once accepted! He knows we are not perfect. And He is willing to forgive any sin committed against Him. But, from what I personally read of it, there is a difference between sinning unintentionally (heck, Paul himself admitted that if you read his works carefully), and sinning intentionally. If done intentionally, well imagine what Jesus must feel like. That's like telling Him "Eh, F-off Jesus, I like my sinful life." Jesus knows our hearts more than we do. But if your heart is honest towards Him, whatever sin you may commit He is willing to forgive you - just try your best, pray your efforts are blessed, and He'll take care of the rest!
And Sophie, just from me as a brother to you; I admire your fighting spirit, how you wish to persevere despite hard challenges (mentally, spiritually...). Keep it up, for God will surely reward your perseverance! As His word says:
James 1:12 ~ "Blessed is he/she who perseveres through temptation and trials; having withstood the test he/she will surely receive the crown of Life the Lord has promised to those who love Him!"
I have said this before, and by God's grace I will keep saying it until I either pass away or the Lord takes us both home:
STAY STRONG, dear sister!
God bless!

"Love isn't a choice, so no one can be blamed for it"
This can resume my opinion ;3
(And it's possible that scientific research proved that monkeys (and many others) groups lives better and kinda "bigger/longer" when there is homosexuality in, soooo it's natural and confirmed ahah)
Anyway : you had wonderful words to explain it, I'm glad that I discovered you ^^

....Definitely not crying here!!!! ;-;
God that was beautiful!! Like I'm almost in tears!! I totally agree with you! Because I believe that love is as free as a bird and to anyone aho says that it is a sin to love another of the same gender....is absurd!!
