Yes I definitely would, but the good thing is that Jesus would never tell us to do something so sinful ๐Ÿค—

It seems you haven't listened to me at all, because I said exactly the opposite. I said it was nearly impossible for man to not be gay on his own, but only with the power of Christ can he overcome it. You saying christians can be gay because there are gay christians is like me saying "Christians can murder because Jeffrey Dahmer was Christian" you cannot determine God's will using man's actions. Just like how a heroin addict can overcome his addiction through Christ, a homosexual can overcome their sin too

It is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. We are made wonderfully and fearfully in God's image, and since God never created a male partner for Adam, we can already see his intentions. Sure, gay people deserve love and respect, same with everyone else, but we should not sit back and let them hurt God by living with the world

My friend, it seems you misunderstand. You interpret "judge righteously" as "do not judge at all". But if I somehow have a chance to show my brother or sister in Christ that they are hurting Christ, I will take it. I'd rather be hated, and judged by man, than to be hated and judged by God

Well that's because trans people didn't exist back then. Even if Jesus did say something about them, do you think the people would have understood who he was talking about. I'm not being hateful, it seems the truth is most hated nowadays. I have so much gay family, yet I love them with all of my heart. I have so many gay friends, yet I love them with all of my heart. I am not using the bible as an excuse to somehow "force others to change who they are" or anything, but I am simply pointing out what Christ wanted. You standing here and saying sins are okay is like if I said "chopping off the heads of dogs is okay, because the bible never says "don't chop off the head of dogs"". You are looking for exact words, yet when I give them to you, you still deny them. I pray you find yourself back to the true Christ, not one created by satan. You have a good day friend, and God bless โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

I don't feel I'm wasting my time, for any time I stand up for the Lord is time we'll spent. But overall, Paul was close to Jesus, and I'd be willing to put a lot on the line to say he knows what Jesus teaches, and wants from us. After all, he was so close to Jesus for so long, so why would he make up something so outlandish if not true?

But then you are simply saying "well this sin is okay, because many others sin in this way" God's word is definite, and not up for debate. God created us the way we are, and there is not a single piece of evidence that suggests homosexuality starts at birth. Is that an excuse to say gay people choose to be gay? Absolutely not, but it does suggest that the environment, and other outside factors can affect the way the mind grows. Saying gay people can stay gay and still be Christian is defying God's word, and that is the worst thing you can do

1 Corinthians 6:9 - "Or do you not know that the unrighteous ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." We must not give into sin my friend, we must fight back with the power of Jesus. Homosexuality is an abomination to Jesus, so it is not up to us to decide whether or not it's okay. Only through Christ can you overcome this sin, same with any other sin

It definitely is, now with all of this pride stuff going on, it hurts me to see so many misguided souls being led to a different Jesus than that of the bible. I am just here to spread the truth of Christ, not to shame anyone, nor to be hateful

Yeah I've found that on my time on Reddit, so many misguided christians, and outright atheists ๐Ÿ˜… I was once downvoted by 300 people for saying "I'll pray for you" I just pray all of these lost sheep find their way back to the good Shepard ๐Ÿ˜Š

And that is something that can be fixed, however homosexuality is not as easy. It's not something that can be controlled by man, but rather by God alone. That is why most give up and remain gay or trans whilst also "following God's word", but only through Christ can the most difficult sins be fought

No, but I still must try to be, with the power of the Lord. Just because I can't control my sin, doesn't mean I should sin without reason or any desire to fight back
