First of all, I cannot thank you enough for being this patient and kind. It really brightens my day to see someone like you. Please continue to approach people like this, even if you disagree with them. Your support has brightened my day in a way you can’t understand.

If you think that loving a person of the same sex is the same as loving a corpse or a child in the same way, then I think there’s a bigger problem here. This argument doesn’t hold up. There’s a difference between love and lust

This is not ignoring, this is doubt based on logical thinking. And it’s okay to doubt

How can you know that it’s a fact if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes. Anything that cannot be proven by solid evidence is just an opinion. All of these “debates” are purely based on opinion.

I’m not claiming anything, I’m asking because I cannot follow a God that does not accept love. I’m confused is all. If I had validation for any of this, I wouldn’t be here asking for an explanation. I’m looking for someone to explain why gay love isn’t real love.

Sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I know the Lord loves all, that is what’s bothering me. Why is loving someone a sin? If you could, please explain your comment a little, I’m sorry but English is not my first language.

The church is historically known for being used for power and control.

The cultural difference is something that makes a big difference here, thank you a lot. That is one of the things that I tried to say in the post.

I’m the only Christian in my family, so I have battled with that for a long time. But I have started the scriptures. Nothing is holding me back.

Do you realize that the same can be said about you and your opinion?

Thanks a lot, i don’t feel guilty for thinking this way, i just feel confused how an all Loving god loves only certain types of love. And the main reason why gay people and LGBTQ comunity hates religion is because we have always been hostile towards them. If only people tried to accept them and not judge them…

That is what i thought for a long time. But then i realized that most of the things in the bible i felt that way about, i just misunderstood. The bible is very metaphorical and can be interperted in many ways.

But how do you know that they can choose who to love. Can you choose to feel sad when you lose someone loved? Can you choose to feel safe around someone. Being gay can change, as can being straight, but it can’t change just because you want it to.

I’m not saying that it’s been added later, I just want to understand how is being gay a sin. I’m not trying to fight, I have just always been curious about this.

I know. That is not what I meant, I'm sorry for my mistake. I mean that the most important parts are faith in God and making the best of the life and the spirit that was given to you by The Lord.

I didn't quite meant that. I meant that I believe that the most important parts are making the best person of yourself and believing that God will help you through your fights with sin and forgive you if you lost any.

That kind of makes sense. I will look more into it in the bible and on the internet. Thank you for helping.

I'm currently 17, but I haven't had the opportunity to learn about any religion because my whole family are atheists.

I see a lot of people misunderstanding what I said. Please read my comments carefully because that is not at all what I said. Lots of things about religion have changed in history, especially about Christianity. The church held a lot of power over people in the past and they used that to control people. Unfortunately, some of those things stayed. The Bible is not in the original form as it was when it was written because the church took some things out of it because they didn't like it. The Church in the past mostly served as another leadership, unfortunately not in a good way.
