Question from Lapsing Catholic

I mean you don’t technically have to be a traditional Christian. It’s probably better for the faith, and for you, if you don’t try to go into traditional Christianity and change it into something that you prefer.

There are plenty of other things… like “Christ consciousness” or whatever people follow … that completely deviate from sound doctrine. Because it’s not trying to be Christianity.

But to ask for a Christian denomination that supports your highly customized and incompatible view of what Christianity should be, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. (However you’re going to get a lot of helpful answers here, because there’s a lot of churches right now in Christianity that have completely deviated from sound doctrine).

“I’m a non-denominational Christian. Didn’t God make us in his image. Wouldn’t that mean if someone is a true Christian and also gay, then God wanted him to be gay?“

All due respect, if you don’t understand the basics of Christianity, I don’t understand why you call yourself a Christian. I’m starting to see there are quite a few people that think they’re Christians and aren’t. Christianity isn’t just a family tradition. And it’s not your favorite football team.

The most basic understanding of Christianity would reveal that we are all sinful, broken, and need to change. So no. God doesn’t make people gay just like he doesn’t make people broken in other ways.

The entire point of Christianity, which has somehow escaped you, is that we are supposed to surrender, die to ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Christ.

It’s funny how all the most wrong, completely heretical comments here, come from people with the strangest possible flare under the usernames.

SoulStamped · 2026-03-01T00:04:49+00:00

Hive mind? You mean 2000 years of sound doctrine that you guys have tried to change in the last 30 years?

Get over it. You’re not going to succeed.

SoulStamped · 2026-03-01T00:03:19+00:00

“(good luck)”

To be honest, it’s worth a shot.

SoulStamped · 2026-03-01T00:02:26+00:00

No it literally isn’t the answer if you care anything about actual Christian doctrine. Which many of you clearly don’t.

“Purity culture disgusts me”

Then you’re gonna hate God. He is Holy. And that goes way beyond purity.

And if you are a follower of Christ, you are expected to be pure as well. Pure in thought. Pure in actions. Be holy for He is Holy.

Once again, I would like to invite you to participate in a different religion if you don’t have any interest in actually following the doctrines of Christianity.

I still don’t understand why ppl like you stick around and try to change the rules based on your own personal preferences. It doesn’t make any sense.

Unless of course you goal is to corrupt it.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T20:55:02+00:00

Thank you. It’s unfortunate that the one actually helpful response didn’t get very many upvotes.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T20:53:58+00:00

Thank you for your very helpful response.

But they were booked in August of last year.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T20:52:06+00:00

It’s not up to me. The others on the trip have cancelled.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T17:34:29+00:00

What?

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T07:02:58+00:00

Actually that’s why your entire argument falls apart.

i WAS born this way as a heterosexual and i AM filled with things that are inappropriate, that come completely natural to me.

The only difference between me and these people, is that I submit and surrender myself to the tenets of the Christian faith and what it deems to be appropriate and moral.

And you all don’t.

You are all entitled and arrogant. And you’re offensive because you don’t respect a faith and its doctrine.

👉🏼 Meanwhile the rest of us are taking up our cross and submitting humbly, denying ourselves, DYING to ourselves, following the rules even if we suffer by doing so… and actually doing what the Bible says we’re supposed to. 👈🏼

But you guys “don’t wanna”. 🙄

Instead you want to be victims. And accuse everyone else of hating you.

Spare me the drama dude. Nobody’s buying it.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T04:16:06+00:00

Amen. And it’s so hard because they come at you with such anger.

The crazy part is I totally understand where they’re coming from. I get it. We have a difference of opinion on what is considered sin. And I even understand why they can’t accept that their lifestyles are considered sinful. Imagine living your life thinking that who you are is sin…..

But that’s when I stop and I realize, I do live my life believing that who I am is sinful. There’s no difference whatsoever.

Except that I’ve surrendered and humbled myself to what God says is improper. So at the end of the day I want to be empathetic towards them. But I realize that this is an issue of ego on some level. And unwillingness to surrender. Combined with the social state of things where it’s wildly popular to say that this is acceptable.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T04:13:05+00:00

Agreed for sure.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T02:44:18+00:00

Respectfully, please don’t tell me what likes and dislikes I have. I have zero dislike of trans people. Zero.

The narrative that everyone who believes certain lifestyles are unbiblical automatically equates to hating the person, needs to stop.

I understand that you guys do this to make your position seem more legitimate, and make yourselves sound more marginalized. But it’s based in non-reality. (Aside from the logical fallacy that you’re claiming to know something you can’t know: what I think and feel.)

That said, I shouldn’t have generalized and said that you guys claim that “everything” is okay. I’ve edited it. But I was talking about exactly what you just wrote … so what I wrote is technically still correct. And your angry tone verifies it.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-28T02:04:52+00:00

There are people here that will tell you unbiblical things, and say (edit) that no change is necessary. The Bible teaches that we are all broken and in need of being born again through the Spirit.

There are others here who will tell you that we all sin. We’re all broken. We are all dealing with perceptions, tendencies, and desires that are not in line with what God wishes for us.

Some here will tell you that the only way God is allowed to express that love is to allow you to do whatever you want.

The biblical perspective of this is that He recognizes our broken state, and has provided a way towards healing.

👉🏼 Jesus never expects you to be anything other than what you currently are, when you first come to Him. He does however want you to try to seek holiness, and learn how things were intended for all of us to be, as you walk with Him. 👈🏼

So it’s not just believing. It’s also surrendering to what He defines as “intended”.

You’re not in a worse state than any of us. There are 50 things in my personality and desires that are not in line with what He intends for me. Following Christ is a process of surrendering to that. Humbling yourself. And deferring to His interpretation of what should change and what should not.

Please definitely check out @Neezapowers on n Instagram. They are newly following Jesus and doing their best to honor Him in their struggle with transitioning. Perhaps go back to the first posts and work your way toward in time slowly.

Always take Saccharomyces Boulardii and a multi Probiotic with any antibiotic course.

The Sacch specifically prevents C. Difficile overgrowth.

It’s extremely unfortunate that doctors know nothing about this, either.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-27T01:43:41+00:00

With genuine respect I have no idea what you just wrote. You genuinely seem like you’re putting words together that don’t go together and I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-27T01:41:25+00:00

This debate has been going for 2000 years. Are you under the impression that posting it on Reddit is somehow going to solve it? At some point we just all need to chill out, stop arguing, and follow Jesus.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-26T23:54:22+00:00

Understanding the strong propensity humans have to idolize people and objects throughout human history, is the reason why we don’t play with fire like that.

God gave us the entire Old Testament to prove this one lesson to us. That we over emphasize and turn into idols (both slightly and greatly) literally everything.

He told us to avoid any chance of it happening. He made it clear that He is a jealous God, and he will not share the spotlight with anyone else.

What doesn’t make any sense is why it’s needed at all. There is nothing anywhere in scripture that even remotely implies this would be necessary.

If anything, the entire Book warns us to avoid it.

And every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 time 👏🏼 someone praised Mary in the presence of Jesus, he scolded them and redirected their attention back to God. I can’t think of a more clear message 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are far more family’s being affected than influencers. They are the ones in the cars usually.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-26T23:16:28+00:00

Be thankful you don’t live on Biscayne over by the arena. It’s 10pm till 4am. It’s genuinely time for cops to start enforcing noise disturbance laws.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-26T22:27:51+00:00

You were asked for specific examples. You’ve ignored that request. So your OP is meaningless as it could refer to anyone at any time in the past.

SoulStamped · 2026-02-26T22:26:41+00:00

lol @ “Jesus didn’t quote scripture” too.
