Stop making me look bad. Being a close-minded bigot is the exact opposite of what being a Christian is all about. God loves every single person He created(sorry clones) unconditionally, shouldn’t we do the same? As Christians, all we want to do is be closer with God and to feel His love, yet we have the right to tell people that they can’t feel this love? This is God were talking about, the all powerful all knowing and the one who made EVERYTHING so of course we cannot know exactly what He wants. Through reading and studying the bible we can understand (to a point) what He wants for us and from us. As a Christian, whenever you are unclear about what is right or wrong the bible is the first place to turn, because it is God’s word. He literally told Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (and other uncommonly named fellows) what to write. But to quote Leviticus and say that homosexuality is a sin just to win an argument is wrong. Leviticus 18:22 says “Do not have relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable”. Anyone who has general knowledge of anatomy knows that’s impossible. Leviticus 20:13 says “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads”. Also physically impossible (or at least tricky). These were written in the bible, and as I said before they are God’s own words. But Leviticus 20:9 says “‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.” I’ve been pretty mad at my parents, and have had an argument or two, so I suppose I’ll be put to death. Leviticus 19:19 says “‘Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material” and my closet is all kinds of polyester and cotton, so I’m in trouble. Leviticus 19:28 says “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD”. Guess my sister, my best friend and a whole lot of other people I love are worthless. Leviticus and a few other books are full of rules, written by God, that now seem hard to follow. Doesn’t mean that some rules and good and some are bad, it just means it is not in our power to pick and choose.
My Lord and Savior created the heavens and the earth, breathed life into me and everyone else around me (again, sorry clones) and I can not and will not make assumptions on His behalf.
Thank you and God bless all of you,
