An Important Thing
Okay. Listen. Because the amount of crazy hatred I came back to is wild. First of all just because I'm religious, does not mean I hate anyone. I don't. I don't hate anyone. I don't hate anyone in the LGBTQ community. And I don't hate anyone outside of it either. Because I think that hatred is wrong, no matter who it is, if they're alive I think hating them is wrong. I also know that disagreement with things, does not equal a hatred. The same way agreeing with things does not equal love or like. If a terrible criminal says that 1+1 = 2 you wouldn't agree because you like the guy, you'd agree because you think the statement is true. Now the vice versa, if one of the most amazing people ever says that 1+1 =3, if you disagree it isn't because you hate him, it's because you think 1+1 doesn't equal three. I think you can disagree with someone's actions and that doesn't mean you hate them. And there are ways you can portray your disagreement that IS hateful, by berating or acting nasty in some way. However I haven't been doing that. I'm also not really trying to get anyone to change exactly. I am just sharing what I believe and if someone wants to ask more questions about it or share in my belief then that's a great thing. There are several scriptures supporting that, because it's ultimately people's choice whether they choose to follow or believe. I don't want to force anything and I'm not supposed to.
Also just in case any of this is confusing or doesn't make sense (Which it probably could cause I've got Covid brain and can't think straight lol)
I believe everything in the Bible, front to back. I don't fit in with Christians and I don't fit in with Jews. The closest thing I conform with is Messianic Judaism, but even then, I have several disagreements. I follow the bible in it's entirety, while both Jews and Christians tend to cut things out and add other things that are unbiblical.
I believe that EVERYONE is a sinner, including me, I've committed so many sins I know and probably more I don't know because I'm human and I forget things.
I don't preach to hate, I preach to showcase, showcase my beliefs and the proper way to follow the bible, if you choose not to follow the bible you're free to. The same way Jewish people can say we don't eat pork doesn't mean they hate everyone who does.
I don't hate LGBTQ or Anyone Else
I do think that LGBTQ people are openly accepting sin, however I'm not going to attack them, tell them that they're evil or anything of the sort, I'm also not going to avoid associating with them. I know this probably sounds cliche and dumb but I have LGBTQ people in my family and I don't love them any less and I also don't bombard them. I love everyone in LGBTQ, I do. Because it is their choice what they do. I would like if they wanted to believe what I do but I'm not going to force it on them. All I'll do is show them what I believe and leave it up to them. Because it's their choice. A choice they're free to make.
I'll be friends with anyone and treat them with love and respect like they deserve. No judgement.
I've probably not said everything I need to or everything I wanted to say. But I'm tired and I'm gonna take a nap. My fever is back :(
