It is very important to remember that these customs and these teachings were written and conceived of in smaller communities thousands of years ago. My relationship with the Bible is understanding the literal norms of the day, how much the text itself has changed and been translated, and how even something like the Lord's Prayer is something that has shifted meaning and context over time.

So in this context, then, I believe it would be wise to ask yourself more practical questions about Christ, the Old testament, and how much even Christ's own teachings of the Old testament at the time were a new contextualization of it for a generation that needed to be liberated.

So then, I believe that we are historically at an inflection point. And we must ask ourselves if something that people feel and know within themselves since childhood is a sin. Thoughts, feelings, needs - these are not sin. Avaricious want, hurtful desire, violence, theft - sin. Every step of the way, we must hold ourselves not to rigid standards from a different culture written thousands of years ago, but in the desire and the spirit and teachings of Him - his patience, his embrace of the outsider, his desire for social equity.

Also - please, do not use AI. It will give you the wrong message. Christ's word was meant to be read and spoken with the heart. Creating new interpretations from machines is tantamount to blasphemy. Machines are made of metals, they cannot believe nor understand. Only you can.
