glbt accepting yourself…
It doesn’t matter if you are gay/lesbian/bisexual. I accept you people! Some people in society think that it is wrong to be homosexual. You are not wrong for being gay! You are not wrong for being lesbian! You are not wrong for being bisexual! It is not wrong to be transgendered! You may have heard from some people that being gay/lesbian/bisexual is disgusting. Accept yourself! People use the bible to attack glbt community. One of the stories they use is of Soddom and Gommorah. They say that soddom and gommorah was destroyed because there were a lot of glb inhabitants living there. That is not true! God destroyed this town because it was perverse and a town full of evil and rape.
Proof that god accepts homosexuality: The bible has no verses or does not state that Jesus Christ helping glbt people. Jesus Christ has never had to help glbt community. It has never been mentioned in the bible that glt people were poor or afflicted. I believe since they were never punished or afflicted than homosexuality may not be a sin. The majority of people that have been punished or afflicted were sinners. There is also a verse in leviticus 18:22 that states: “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” The Leviticus 18:22 verse is under “Unlawful Sexual Relations.” I would like to clarify that it was “unlawful” for homosexuals to have sexual relations with their same gender in that biblical time. In that biblical time it was detestible to god. The law has changed since those biblical times. It is not “unlawful sexual relations” anymore. Further, the ending of the verse does not state that it is “detestable to god”, it says “it is detestable!” My understanding is that it was an “unlawful sexual relations” in that period of time when leviticus was written. Presently all countries, provinces, and states have different laws about coitus/sexual relations. If it’s lawful in your residential area to have sexual relations with the same gender, then you are not wrong! But if the law doesn’t accept homosexual sexual relations then you are breaking the law/wrong/detestable! But it is not wrong to have homosexual feelings because then you are not taking action with the same gender. Accept your feelings if you are gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/transexual/transvestite. Don’t be embarressed! Further I do not promote glbt people to be promiscuous! If I prove that it’s okay for a homosexual to have sexual relations with the same gender, then there is proof that god accepts homosexuality. This is not about glbt people being promiscuous and I am not saying that it’s right for glbt have sex without marriage. When the bible refers “to lie with” the bible refers to two people having sexual relations. I believe that people should be faithful and honest! It is possible that god accepts homosexuality and their marriage, but the 10 commandments apply to this community.
Important Note: The verse previous to lev 18:22 does not state anything about unlawful sexual relations, it’s about child sacrifice. (Leviticus 18:21.) I think god is trying to give us a clue that lev 18:21 does not fit into the topic of unlawful sexual relations. Chapter 18 is only about “unlawful sexual relations” and lev 18:21 is about child sacrifice. so maybe god wants us to figure it out? Child sacrifice does not fit in unlawful sexual relations.
In Romans 1:23-27 the prophet Paul is informing christians that during his visit to Rome. (in the biblical time in which the chapter Romans was created.) The people in the world were not believing in god. They worshipped images of what they could see, like birds, animals, and etc. The roman people did not believe in god, so they were punished. The headline of the verse is called “God’s Wrath Against Mankind.” They were not punished for being homosexual! Now do you believe that it is possible that god might accept homosexuality and their marriage?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10: explains that if you have a dispute, take it up with the saints. In other words take this up with the priest/church. The verse mentions “homosexual offenders,” but it refers to an offender who is homosexual. The verse states: “neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders (nor abusers of themselves with mankind,) nor thieves…” God is not speaking about homosexuality. The verse is about types of crimes/mean acts that god does not see as righteous on the earth. Notice that god is comdemning the “offense”/crime that is committed by a homosexual, not the homosexual. It is possible that god referred to people in corinthians as homosexuals and not as gay/lesbian. I repeat that, since the prophet refers to gays as homosexual, then god is condemning the crime/offense by a homosexual, not the homosexual. The prophet had to refer a gay criminal as a “homosexual offender”, not a straight offender since the offender is gay. The list for the verse 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 of crimes against god is negative list. From a logical perspective, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 does not apply in our present time anymore. If you have a dispute/legal dispute take it up with your justice department. Also an “abuser of himself with mankind” is up to your interpretation. You can call this kind of sin, whatever you want to name it as long as it’s real to you. In my perception an “abuser of himself with mankind” is a person who abuses or takes advantage of another person’s kindness.
Note: it’s possible that god accepts homosexuality… I feel that I do a good job at proving that god does accept homosexuality.
- Also I would like to point out that in the beginning god made only adam and eve,…so I do not know why people are born with both male and female genitals like intersexed individuals. God has never mentioned intersex people in the bible. Is their marriage a sin? I do not think that their marriage is sinful. I believe god accepts intersex individuals. The bible only says that God made Adam and Eve, but my understanding is that people cannot allow such a simple interpretation to close our minds toward any other humans that god has made. When God made Adam and Eve he made a male and female, but he did not categorize their sexual orientation. He said, “they are male and female and they were meant for eachother!” My understanding is that Adam and Eve are straight individuals, but that doesn’t mean that they cannot produce a gay/lesbian/transgendered offspring. God did not specify that after Genesis that the rest of humanity would be straight. I do firmly believe that God made the majority of the population straight, but at least 2% of the population are considered gay/lesbian/transgendered. If the whole population was homosexual then humans would be extinct and I don’t believe that god wants that. God wants people to be fruitful within limits (cheating is wrong!), respecting marriage, but also he wants us to be happy!
If anyone has anymore verses that are against homosexuality comment.
