So this is a personal topic for me. I don’t think I am a homosexual and my mom doesn’t think so either. Like I felt happy knowing guys liked my profile on dating websites, but I guess since the dating website thing didn’t work (And I have never dated, had guy friends but that’s it), Satan is trying to make me doubt myself with unholy thoughts and words in my head, that I don’t feel like are true (He was trying to do this before the dating websites, basically when this virus stuff started, so yeah stress has let Satan attack me more easily). Like one random thought I thought awhile back, will sometimes pop into my head and it doesn’t feel good, I basically get into a “hamster wheel” of sorts with my thoughts. I reach out to God to pray and techniques to help me calm down from my therapist are what is helping me the most right now. Plus I think some of my thoughts are from feelings of frustration, anxiety, and stress.
But anyway, enough about me, so this is my problem with the “homosexuality group”, one is that most of them are not nice and two is the group of Christians who say: “Yeah we support homosexuality and think a person can be a homosexual and Christian”. Like I don’t get it, the Bible makes it very clear many of times that is it against homosexuality, but you have Christians saying this stuff. I think Crossway put it best (I’ll put the article link at the end) is that Christians who choose that mindset are choosing to be “silent”, instead of speaking out, cause they don’t want people made at them. Like I know we as Christians should be nice to everyone, and I try, but just because we have to be nice doesn’t mean we have to agree. “Love the person, not the Sin”. For example, my brother is friends with a transgender person and a gay person, my brother believes in God but I’m not sure by “how much”, when you hear your brother say he likes “Hazbin Hotel” (It’s a cartoon on YouTube) and relates to “Angeldust” (A spider demon that is gay and is a adult film star, also he has said that he would sleep with women to get money, all info I got from the Fan wiki for this cartoon, I ain’t watching it) it kinda worries me, but it is what it is, I pray to God for everyone to seek him. But anyway back to my point, he had his transgender friend over and we played Super Smash Bros and it was fun. We didn’t bring up religion or politics, it was just the 3 of us playing videogames and having fun. Plus, his friend said that being at our house, was the kindest house she had ever been to. So I think it is possible for homosexuals and Christians to be friends, if there is respect. Like they gotta respect the Christian aspect of a person and how the lifestyle they have is a sin, but then the Christian has to remember: “Love the person, not the sin” in a hopeful effort to hopefully open the eyes of their homosexual friend to God, and change their life hopefully, but God controls everything and it is ultimately up to him.
The aspect of “That group not being nice”, I wanna break that down and say not all of them are the same, I’m sure there are nice people...just haven’t seen them yet. Like most of them “claim to be open and freely accept people”. See any footage of a gay pride parade on YouTube with a youtuber going there to ask questions and no they do not accept people, and sometimes they can be rather rude about it. Also, it seems like these extra “Non-binary” groups are a way for people to say: “I’m a special person, that can’t be tied down to norms”...which to me sounds like “Special Snowflake”, lol. I don’t believe in non-binary and will call you a man or a woman, to the best of my ability.
One time I called a Man, a woman, because his hair was so long and I only saw his back. That’s why I believe in “gender stuff” like I don’t think it’s right for a woman to have a buzz cut, or a man to have long hair like that situation I explained earlier. I’m not saying a woman can’t like “man stuff” and a guy can’t like “woman stuff”, but it’s like how people are trying to “history shame” white people. Don’t be ashamed of your gender...yes I know gender dysphoria exists and I’m not enough of a expert to say anything on it, but I mean over of a “overall” statement with what I said, because for gender dysphoria I honestly don’t know what to say, if anyone has a opinion on this, that would be much appreciated. Because like I don’t agree with changing genders, but they hate their own gender. I want to say if they seek God and pray then they can find peace, but that’s all I can say on it.
Final thing I wanna say is that, we as Christians should not be afraid to talk about this stuff, and look at it with “balance in mind”. No we shouldn’t be saying “If you’re gay you go to hell”, but we also shouldn’t be saying “If you want to be Christian and be gay, that’s fine”. We gotta find that balance and stand firm, because everyone who hears this in today’s world will just straight up say mean things like “It’s sad you judge someone on their sexuality” or “You’re homophobic”, or do mean stuff. I heard this at church on a lesson on “How the Christian will be persecuted, but we must stand firm”, but a church pastor gave a lesson on why homosexuality is bad, apparently his sermon lit up across the Internet and the art festival that takes place in their city, the people that run that said art festival banned the church from their festival because the church to help give money to the festival.
Anyway, share your opinions, if anyone wants me to, I can post a thread tomorrow breaking down and talking about the huge craze that is “BL manga” (Yes I used to be into BL manga, but not anymore, got rid of everything I used to have) and why a huge majority of people that read it are women, and how it ties into Japanese culture. It would talk about some “yucky” stuff, but if anyone wants to learn, I’m willing to share my information that I know ^_^
