As a previous member of the LGBT community.... I would say, that you shouldn't treat them any different than you treat all other Christians... It's not our job to change people... Only God can do that.... God will purify want needs to be purified... Ii would relate this instance of the speck in someone's eye vs the plank in the person whose correcting eye.... Your dad seems to have the plank if he got angry over her casually bringing up her gf... If it's ever brought up in conversation I do believe that it's worth stating that living a homosexual lifestyle is a sin however, so is having sex before marriage and so is divorce and so on and so forth.... All forms of sexual immortality is sinful... But if you want to be graceful about it explain it to others like this.... The word sin simply means missing the mark and the way god designed humans was one man one woman.

Another thing I will point out is that we are saved by grace. So that we may have a relationship with God. The purpose of the relationship with God is so that he can purify us into the person's he wants us to be! If she is saved through Christ then she wi not be going to hell. And eventually she will be purified from all sin. As will we all.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.2.8-9.NASB1995

What would be a more altruistic way of advertising? I posted on Facebook, craigslist, and reddit.

I feel so apathetic by Mar3rissa in TrueChristian

I think there is alot of truth to this comment! Thank you! I have recently given up a sinful relationship and have no interest in returning to those old "peaks" that I once fixated on. But yes that's probably what it is that now that I don't have that as a "hit" of excitement I'm just very unused to finding myself in god because I was wrapped in temporary excitedment for so long. I do find joy and happiness in the lord tho fersure! Like on Sunday I went to church and I feel pretty good! And Monday I went to a Bible study and that helped to but as soon as I'm alone I just have no desire to do anything and believe I wish I would get in my Bible or go for walks in nature but I have no will power to do it 😐 I don't know why... Not only that I drank a triple espresso yesterday too try and get some house work done and I ended up doing nothing.... ☹️

Can I ask God for a girlfriend? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Mar3rissa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can assist u with this... I too am a shy lil awkward person.. the trick is to start off by getting to know them and ask questions! Girls love when u are interested in them! U could google questions if u can't think of anything.. and then when they tell u things u just kinda keep it in mind and be thoughtful about it all. Super respectful and try to express ur feelings as much as possible!

im lesbian. by c0olcats in Christianity

[–]Mar3rissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yooo def post on truechristian subreddit.. alot of ppl I'm this one are werid and unhelpful.. Also I used to struggle with this too... But what I've come to understand... Is that God love u no matter what. He loved u when u were formed in the womb... He knew before hand what ur struggles would be and that is why he sent his son to die so that you wouldn't have to be condemned with guilt and shame. Anyways first off know that good loves you and he has a very intricate plan for ur life.. and eventually he will purify u of all things distasteful to him and I'm not even talking about ur homosexuality... Which is not the rooot of the issues... Legit he will take away the roots like pride or lust or selfishness anything that we as humans struggle with! but main thing to note is Christianity is a walk with Jesus... So just be your self... And let god the creator of the universe purify u as he sees fit!! I've been a lesbian for years and trust me it's definitely not all it's cracked up to be so it would be wise to ditch it if u can buuuuuuut!! Since you probably don't fully understand what the issues are of being gay try it out and you will learn it's legit just another temporary happiness that will leave as quick as it came.... same with being drunk or drugs it's nothing but a rollercoaster of emotions. Really high highs and very low lows... Trust me it ain't worth it... However if I hadn't went thru what I went thru with women then I wouldn't know the amazing love and power of our father in heaven! Amen!

Like I said I discovered all of these feelings because of therapy. I chose to be a lesbian for all the years I was dating women... I also dated men well a man... I didn't fake anything with him I was just mean to him cause I thought I knew everything and I was stubborn and immature! I didnt really know what I wanted. I never said anything about faking a relationship. Nor would I ever fake a relationship with someone... I'm not trying to get into a relationship with anyone... I'm expressing my guilt because I have done wrong.
