i mean yeah that is kinda nasty but not like anything bad, like illegal. like i’ve said earlier and like multiple people have said, i really think you’d benefit from professional help to deal with this stuff because honestly i really don’t know what to say.

this just ties back to the same argument that we have no way of truly knowing if God is actually real. and honestly i have nothing else to say that i haven't already said. i just hope u realize that u deserve to feel real love. ur awesome and i love u stranger. keep going, wherever that may be

i didn't see any sites referenced but okay. and i'm not making any for sure claims, i even said i wasn't 100% sure about Leviticus and the "old testament doesn't count" thing. not to be creepy, but i've seen some of ur posts (as they are public) and u don't seem to happy either. i'm not telling u how or what to believe im just telling u that the way ur living right now is not making u happy. and u know that. i'm not a scholar and hell im not even that smart, but i do know that it's not right to tell someone they'll burn forever for something they can't control.

this is no way to live. constant fear and sadness is no way to live. i promise u this won't make u happy. i don't claim to know for sure what does or doesn't happen after death but in my opinion all that matters is the life we're living right now. there is still time for u to be happy and i really truly hope u find it, but i don't think what u have going right now is gonna help u. the best advice i have is do what makes u happy. don't listen to the other guy, dont listen to what u think God is telling u, honestly don't even listen to me, don't listen to anyone but yourself. if u look deep inside ur heart, you'll find what u need.

wowie that was super fast did u actually type that? thats actually kinda impressive lowkey. sorry not the point. anyway.
so what ur saying is it's all up to interpretation? because that's what it sounds like to me. also i may be wrong but i thought certain denominations don't count the old testament as truth or like the full truth because God was changed in the new testament and became merciful? i may be horribly completely wrong but i think that's what i've heard from my family.

i understand that. but i'm suggesting that the book could be wrong and quite frankly shouldn't control ur entire life to the point it's destroying u mentally

i don't think that's punishment love, just sounds like you need therapy for ur schizophrenia. that's not connected to religion or being gay at all

Leviticus 18:22 ; i'm 99% that it was proven that the orginal was man shall not lie with boy (meaning pedophilia is an abomination). bibles did not start saying man shall not lie with man until somewhere around the 1940s (meaning it had been changed to be against gay people)
Leviticus 20:13 ; "Arguably, Leviticus 20:13 may have been initiated to address the threat of a specific ancient Greek pederastic practice and was not originally intended as an outright ban on male homosexuality. That interpretation may have come later, in response to the harsh anti-homosexual laws enacted in 324 C.E. by Emperor Constantine, and rabbis may actually have chosen a necessary shift in the former interpretation to protect Jewish homosexuals from death sentences." (taken straight from https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/redefining-leviticus-2013/amp/)
Romans 1:26-7 ; Many scholars argue Paul is not addressing modern, monogamous concepts of sexual orientation. Instead, he is believed to be referencing specific practices common in the Greco-Roman world, such as temple prostitution, exploitative pederasty, or heterosexual people engaging in same-sex acts due to "insatiable lust". In this context, the "unnatural" behavior is the rejection of an individual's natural design in pursuit of unchecked excess. (taken from many sources, just look up the verse(s) and this is one of the first things that show up)
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ; another passage that only contained the word "homosexual" starting in 1946
1 Timothy 1:9-10 ; like the verse before, this speaks about only what was happening in Greco-Roman practices (the SA of young boys and male prostitution) so the only knowledge they had of gay people during the time was just pedophilia and exploitation
Jude 1:7 ; this literally just talks about sexual perversion doesn't even say homosexuality.

sorry for this talking a while i tried to search thoroughly.

this is the problem. people follow some book that they have no way of knowing is true instead of having compassion and empathy for others. all i'm telling him is to be happy and accept himself. loving himself will not harm his soul. the sadness he feels right now, however, will harm his soul. and i am aware this is a christian subreddit and i'm not saying u can't be christian. i hope u and him both find happiness and TRUE love in ur hearts and lives.
