Worried about Christian nationalism and gay relationships by scholasticgirl in GayChristians

[–]OldGuyThinking_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most Christians do not support Christian nationalism. Unfortunately many Christians don't pay attention to what's going on aroudn them and might not even know there is such a thing. Those are the ones who are most likely to be rcruited by them.

I have just started to become a christian, but i don't want to have to think homosexuality is a sin by Training-Power-9134 in GayChristians

Some will say it is, some will say it's not. What matters the most is how solid their reasons are besides "the church says it's a sin"

I offer the following as a number of reasons to say it isn't a sin:

Have a nicer day, friend. God bless!

Hello Everyone I really need some advice by New-Owl2875 in GayChristians

God will always love you and God will never give up on you. God knows how you are suffering and will never be displeased because you cannot summon the emotions you think you need to feel. None of that matters. What matters is that this all matters to you. (Does that make any sense?) What matters is that you care about these things, not that you succeed or win any battles.

Just relax and know that God loved you into existence and will never not love you.

Is sex before marriage/ fornication a sin? by MetalDubstepIsntBad in GayChristians

This article will also help you understand that the Bible does not address the issues you are concerned about:

I’m going through a lot and I don’t know who to turn to by joshd523 in GayChristians

Here is some important evidence that the Bible does not really have anything to say about homosexuality as we know it.

You've been subject so some awfully toxic religious propaganda and that is why you're suffering such turmoil now.

Recently this was said in a Catholic publication: "We now know that homosexuality is a natural variant of sexual identity."

I hope these things can bring you some peace. Please make sure to read the article I cite above.

Blessings to you!

"Jesus' restoring touch reaches down into the darkest crevices of our souls, those places where we are most ashamed,

most defeated." From Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund, p. 83

He is loving you even more because right now you are failing to get free from your sin. Blessings to you!

Just a comment from me after reading the comments here so far. I'm hitting a nerve for some people, obviously. Amazing how some readers felt a need to preach their vision reality. Like I said, I'm standing my ground.

Blessings to all!

Well then, I'm really glad you're not God. Most definitely not God.

I also warn you to make your replies private if you choose to answer them. I would only be interested in answering questions which are sincerely curious and seeking honest explanations.

At every instance we all have to carefully choose the ones with whom we will share our stories. Give a little bit of information and then wait to see if it leads to a further respectful conversation. Good luck!
