      My church has pamphlets that they hand out to all of the girls and guys that basically tell you that your disgusting and going to burn if you are gay. Sometimes those still get to me and I hide in the bathroom and cry. I remember praying that I would stop liking girls.... I remember having breakdowns while I reread those pamphlets.. I have major religious trauma from this, god loves me.. I know that.

I really hope you are doing okay now, and if you aren’t, just know that it eventually will be. People will either accept you, or people will come into your life who accept you, and if they can’t accept you, they don’t deserve you.

    I started to question my sexuality when i was starting high school, like i felt a little crush on my 'Straight' Girl bestfriends and i was scared for admitting because growing up i believed that being a part of LGBTQ+ was a sin, So i forced myself to change which i did, i had a boyfriend and all but we broke up. Recently during quarantine i was talking to one of my closest girl besties and she admitted that she has a crush on me, Ive experience a lot of confession from straight guys but hearing it from a girl and surprisingly was also my bestfriend just hits different, I felt happy but the fear i felt when i started having a little crush on girls Strucked me again, I wanted to tell her 'I like you too' but i held my feelings because i was scared....Until now I'm still closeted and no plans on telling my parents because i came from a really religious family and i was terrified by just thinking that they might disown or won't accept me, I didn't want to be bisexual...I keep telling myself 'Gurl you straight' it hurts me denying who i truly am because I don't want to be hated...When i was really confused about my sexuality i cried i wanted to slap myself and snap out of it but never worked, I'm a Christian and i believe in God.

    My family is a Christian family and I’m 15. I started to notice that I’m more interested in boys than girls. I’m scared to tell my parents, and ever since I started having interest in boys, I’ve been sad, numb ever since. I started having trouble at studies, and I can’t get along with other boys, i prayed to god for my happiness so many times but things just kept getting worse. I started losing friends and getting depressed. Now I just think god hates me and I don’t belong anywhere. No one gives a damn about me. Every night I would stay up til 0, 1 am crying because I haven’t had a true friend since I started having interest in boys. Is it just that god hates me? I’m so confused with life and I can’t take this anymore. My head hurts everyday. I want to end this now.

    I remember when I told my siblings I was bi, they asked me What bisexual meant and they assumed I was a lesbian (I’m not). Told them the meaning of what bisexual meant and my brother, (who’s extremely homophobic) told me it was a sin and next thing you know in the evening, my behind got caught since I came out to some of my friends in February since I was questioning in December, but my mom and siblings were not very accepting. My mom told me the story of sodom and Gomorrah and told me being gay was a sin and that were Africans we don’t date women. I love both men and women equally and she even told me to change “sexual into men”. For 2 weeks, I was forced to read the Bible, so “God can forgive me for my sins” From the start, I always loved people for who they are, no matter what and I always saw this as wrong. My mom says that it’s an abomination to be gay, AND IT NOT!
    But I do not believe in ANY of that nonsense they say. I read the Bible and the Story of Sodom and Gomorrah, the story was about rape, not homosexuality to those who don’t know. Which actually relieved me and it changed me entirely, cause I was scared to actually learn about the story of sodom and Gomorrah cause the way my mom put it. They basically told me in the 7th grade (Going to 8th) that loving someone of the same sex or gender was a sin. But I didn’t listen! :) Im still bi
    The only thing it did to me for 2 weeks and went from 4 months was, me being scared or nervous when someone said the word Gay. What it did to me for two weeks was crying, no laughter or happiness in me at all and lastly, going into depression, and my mom telling me “That’s not who I am”. I couldn’t recover nor forgive my siblings for what they did, but things got a lil better afterwards. Im happy again and accepting myself as this almost 13 year old bisexual. I already told one of my irl friends back I was bi and he accepts me!! :D which made me more happy. ✨💖
    To everyone out there who needs this, I Accept you, I love you, I appreciate you, God loves you, Jesus loves you, so does my friend. Being gay is NOT and I repeat NOT a sin. God loves you no matter what he wants me to let you know that he always loves you, and he’s going to accept you into his kingdom. Your not a disgrace to your family, nor me, or anybody else. Jesus died for all of us even you! The people who are homophobes ARE the ones going to hell, cause they call themselves Christians and their the ones damaging this earth, NOT GAY PEOPLE! The Bible should be used to tell love, truth, acceptance and power. Not to teach ignorance and hate. You all are god’s children in my eyes, he loves you, even if you are LGBTQIAP+ ! Your never too young to know your gender, sexuality, or identity! It can even happened when your 5 or 12 it, doesn’t matter! We love you just the way you are and nobody has the right to change you and the way you feel toward others. You have EVERY right to wear want you want, clothing has no gender. You have EVERY right to not tell others, until your ready, there’s always gonna be time. I love you are just the way you are and that’s a promise to all of y’all. :D ✨💖✨💖💖✨✨

      It's extremely saddening for me as a catholic christian and trans woman not to be able to go to to the church and connect to the ecclesial community. I would be banned from the sacraments if I were to come out to anybody there at all, which is completely unfair and obviously demonic in the eyes of any christian - it's persecution based on what cannot be chosen or prayed away, that's how God made me after all. I would have to lie about my gender, wear dysphoria-inducing clothes and just feel pain, which is the last thing God would want. I hope from the depths of my heart that this will stop one day when Vatican steps in to make this dark practice of my church finally end. This unfortunately applies to all orthodox churches and many protestant and non-denominational communities as well, meaning it affects millions of people around the world

    I am deconstructing my former Christianity. Don't know if I will reconvert but it is my personal view that sin is what drives us apart, causes hate, confusion, ignorance etc. Love, real love, is the opposite of sin, because it brings us together and bridges gaps. But I know many attach 'that which offends God' to their definition of sin as well.
    Doesn't God need an ego to be offended? Very strange to me. And then I have to question, if this God doesn't share the same goal as me, which is to bring people together and increase the amount of good in the world through mutual aid and understanding, what DO they want?
    I think the Christians who worship this God who doesn't want gay people to be together or trans people to feel safe expressing themselves have a false image of God. And if God possessed the human ability to be offended, they probably would be offended by the idea that they were so delicate.

    I'm Protestant, and I'm from an extremely conservative church (we use the KJV Bible, not the RSV), so pretty much everyone is massively homophobic or at least believes homosexuality is a sin. I used to be like that too, but then I went to college, watched actual LGBTQ people talk about their experiences, educated myself, and even met another bi girl at a church youth group (ironically). Now I know I'm bi, but I also know my family and church/community will never accept me, and I don't know what to do. Nobody will accept this information, even if it's completely true, because it doesn't come from one of our ministers.
    Also, if we have to follow the Bible to the letter, then it's a sin to be homophobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, antisemitic, or anything that involves hating another person, based on the multitude of verses that command us to love our neighbors, love our brothers, etc.

Secondly, you failed to show us an analysis of the language used in the original text, and just left us to take your word for it that there was a miss-translation somewhere in the bible. I personally am not a christian nor am I straight, so naturally I see nothing wrong with homosexuality, but I have to call out a poor analysis when I see one.

I thought maybe it was interpretations over time were adapting to the current mindset, and not be arrogant but I'm happy I'm right.

    I don't know but I might have made a comment saying I would come out soon!
    So here I am :D
    My parents supported me and here is how it went
    *We were home from church
    I was really scared but I knew it was the right day so I walked into my mom's room and shut the door. Next thing you know it I was like "Mom? There is 2 things i need to tell you, 1 thing to ask and one thing to tell.
    So I shut the door and said "Do you support Riley (My friend) being Bisexual? Turned out she supported it and she said "Yeah, (More stuff I can't remember) Why?"
    And I said "Because I think I am"
    I was trembling and shaking but I felt like I had a large heavy weight lifted off of my shoulders..
    To this day I am still proud
    💖💜💙 👌

    My mom is a Christian and she said that if I see any homosexuals' to keeps scrolling or don't even look because if I become gay I'm going to hell. I tried seeing if the bible said liking the same sex is a sin but cant find it. But what I do know is having a relationship with god and liking the same sex is not going to send you to hell. I'm not African but I have African family that said its not natural to be gay or have intercourse. They way the bible was shown to me did not make anything better with my relationship with god. It seemed like he didn't like his people if they were gay. I'm bi sexual but don't really feel attracted towards females anyway. But I have two years left and know everything is going to be better once I graduate.

They also watch christian videos and watched a few about lgbtq+, all saying it was wrong. I hate it so much having to pretend “oh, yeah that talk made me straight!” My friends and i are all lgbtq+ and we joke around and write on whiteboards about lgbtq+ being okay. Its always says- “love is love!” Or “accept all!” And its always erased when we leave for lunch. Its bad.

Now u touched on points myself stand by to a tea about Christianity .I don't prescribe to a denomination I simply see myself as Christian not agnostic though. I will never force my religion unto noone isn't ready / not wanting to convert. You are given free will to choose your paths in life. I can guarantee I don't know the answer to all questions on why God does did or that. I think you are responsible for discovering this on your own. Is being a Christian easy no just like life itself isn't easy but you aren't expected to be perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect Christian. But I regress and leave to the reader to make thier own choices even if that will not be becoming a Christian. But I will thank you for hearing me out at least and wish a blessed day,evening,night,and morning.

  • @Scottybeammeup2

    Your understanding of the bible is not complete or accurate. There is so much that you did not discuss. This is what happens when you read mail not addressed to you. The bible is is God's love letters to his bride, which you again won't understand. You are focusing on the wrong things when it comes what God requires and the understanding of sin.
    Sin means to miss the mark. Missing the mark is breaking God's moral law, the 10 commandments. Deut. Ch. 5.
    We have all broken God's moral law. Told a lie? , been a thief? Dishonored your parents, lust afer another person outside of marriage?, Hated someone? = the same as murder according to Jesus the Christ, and....
    All people will good to Hell, unless they Believe/ trust who the Christ is and he did. - Jesus is God, the Creator, Truly man and Truly God. He lived a perfect life in that He did not violate the moral law. This is what made his death and resurrection efficacious for, not everyone, but for all those who believe/ trust and repent.
    God calls all men everywhere to repent. (Repent is an old military term. It means to do an about face. Sorry God, I understand I broke your moral law, Please forgive me, I confess that I was wrong/ sinned, and I will follow you moral law and if I miss the mark, I will immediately confess it try not, with your help to miss the mark again.) Check out Ray Comfort for more understanding.
    You now know more than probably 80 % of the people in our world. What you do with this information is between you and God. I would love to see you at the gates of Heaven one day. It is a sad thing to think that most of the people I explain this to, reject Jesus the Christ of the bible. Sadly on Judgement day, the rejecters will be sent off to outer Darkness. The true believers will have eternal life with God and on his right hand are pleasures for evermore.
    You must understand that biblical Christianity is not a religion, it is eternal life. It is God who does all the work of converting the our dead spirit to life and he gives us his spirit. If you recognize that God is drawing you, I suggest that you have a conversation with Him. Tell Him that you trust who His and what he did for you and that you repent. If your life changes and you have new desires, then God made that happen, If not, you need another conversating with Him. If you change for a short period of time and then go back to your slavery to sin, than your spirit was not made alive and you are still headed for Hell.
    Christianity is not something you instigate, it is something God instigates. I just explained the gospel/ good news to you and it God who gives you a new nature. God draws - Psalms 64:5, God opens the heart, implants faith, it's a gift, Eph. 2:8 &9 and He grants repentance.

  • @williamburton9232
    @williamburton9232 Рік тому +3

    Hey! So a genuine question here. While encouragement and affirmation are wonderful things to experience, what does the Bible say exactly (verses of scripture) against the practice of homosexuality? I’ve always been under the impression that it is sin, but regardless of that,to love each individual regardless the depths of their sins or deprivations of their hearts. and to be a Christian hating individuals is purely unacceptable. So, if it’s explicitly clear it’s not sin, great! But I personally have trouble believing one of the most undisputed areas of the Bible (being homosexualities sinfulness) for the past 2000 years plus just all of a sudden had some scriptural basis for not being sin? Would love to hear from someone! Thanks for reading!

    Thank you for making this video, I'm a Christian. Ever since I find out about gay peoples, I searched up in online and find out about some sexualitys and what there mean and I ask myself. What is my sexuality and I never get my answered until I start have a bit of feelings with girls and boys and I ask myself, am I bisexual or pansexual and I keep asking myself but I'm still figuring it out and since my family is Christian. My mom doesn't support LGBT and while my brother is kinda don't accept for transgender and me just pray for everyone to accept to who their a. Once again thank you for making this video!

    Closeted nonbinary bisexual Muslim here. Thank you so much for making this video. It’s good to here facts from an impartial source. I’m tired of hearing Muslim you tubers and such continue saying, “I’m not homophobic, but...” and continue to explain why it’s a sin. I’ve also heard the argument that premarital sex is forbidden even if you’re straight, but I’m sure if you told them what if gay marriage was legalized, would homosexuality be ok? They would continue to say that it’s a sin. It honestly feels like they’re grabbing at straws. Religion is one of the main reasons why I can’t come out until I leave the country and have some distance between me and my family. I’m not desperate, since love and attraction is pretty much taboo even if you’re straight, but that’s also the reason why I have no idea how I’m going to bring it up in the future, because I’m technically not supposed to be thinking about this in the first place. I know for a fat that my parents wouldn’t be hostile, but I’m also sure that they will give me a lecture about how wrong this is. Honestly, I have no proof that my parents are homophobic or transphobic. I don’t even know if they know anything about the lgbtq community or if they even know that it exists. But despite their being no evidence of homosexuality being a sin, I’m fairly sure that religion is going to prevent them from accepting me.
    Also, even though it doesn’t specifically address nonbinary people, I feel that the Quran really emphasizes the fact that we were created as men and women. I live in a very gendered culture where men and women are even sometimes separated during family gatherings. I don’t think anyone here would be able to grasp the idea that I don’t fit into either binary. And the religion argument would be used against me.
    Anyway, this is probably a chaotic, messy ramble. Thanks again for making this. At least now I could come to terms with my own identity, even if others won’t accept it

    I kinda don’t like religion. The amount of people who take the message wrongly is deplorable and I don’t think the actions it has done can just be forgiven. This is why I’m an atheist but I’m learning to be more tolerant of religious people so I don’t eventually spiral into justifying genocide against religious people and become the very thing I swore to destroy. I’m starting to be more tolerant but I still don’t really like religion and I think it’s holding humanity back from what it can really do. I’m not trying to convert people to atheism but I’m tolerating religious people more. If you want to believe in a holy sky man or men then go ahead but respect my ability to not believe in those things.

    If we treat sexuality akin to faith, all of a sudden, it's absolutely HORRIBLE to discourage one's sexuality. Just as it is with someone's faith normally.
    This argument is valid, considering we put faith in our perceived sexuality, which is deeply intertwined within our being.
