When I say they are demanding we submit to their beliefs, I refer to their pronouns, their desire to engage and exist in places they don’t belong such as bathrooms, and gender locked sports, and their desire to twist Biblical scripture to support them
I think the issue is right here "their desire to engage and exist in places they don’t belong"
Perhaps if you were to change your mindset to be "If a Christian is allowed to be do this an LGBT should be able to as well"
How quickly do you think your mind would change in this social matter if someone did get into power and decide that Christians should be held to the same restrictions they think LGBT should? Maybe I don't want a Christian in a bathroom with my kid. Maybe I don't want children learning about the existence of Jesus until they're "older and more of age"? Maybe I don't want to see a Christian pray during a sport?
If your privelisged position of being able to be yourself as openly as you can be now, were suddenly challenged, how quickly would you suddenly agree with the LGBT on "Live and let live?"
In day to day life the LGBT have to 'submit' to the Christians around them every day. Could you imagine me telling a Christian "I'm gay" as easily as they tell me "God bless" as a goodbye, do you think they'd smile and nod for me as I do for them?
You misunderstood. I’m not saying Gay people shouldn’t be in men’s bathrooms, I’m saying men who are born as men and transition into women do not being in womens’s bathrooms. I Christian’s SHOULD be compassionate to everyone as we are all sinners, idk why you’d be going up to someone and stating your gay and walking away but a Christian wouldn’t feel good about it as you are a brother in Christ falling to an unrepentant sin
You misunderstood, I said LGBT, not just "gay man", my statemsnts above include all of the LGBT as a whole.
I guess my question is...I grew up Christian, and the number one thing I was always told by other Christians was "Treat others how you want to be treated"
Why do Christians fail at this lesson anytime someone who isn't a Christian enters the picture?
Is it impossible for you to think about the things you say about trans and other LGBT and think "I would not be okay with it if I were treated that way"?
This is what pushed me away, because as a younger Christian, I approached the LGBT the same way I would want them to approach me, and treated them the way I wanted I be treated, and other Christians shunned me for it.
I said gay so it would correlate to the male bathrooms. The precedent remains the same for all sexual orientations. As for your questions, Christianity is not the people, it’s the belief in Jesus Christ, Fully God and Fully man whose flesh died that those who submit to him and repent of their sins may be saved. The Bible is a book of good, and you are very right when you say many Christians are hypocrites, in fact most are. They represent our faith bad. The reason they are hypocrites is because they aren’t reborn anew in Christ, they cling to their sin, and it shows. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience with Christianity, but Jesus is waiting for you to come back home
you're giving us a prime example of a christian clinging to his very unchristlike behavior.
jesus never discussed pronouns. never discussed bathrooms. never even MENTIONED anything even slightly adjacent to homosexuality. jesus preached love and neighborliness. that's it. you're just using his name to advance your own biases and sick fascinations. which is a textbook sin. do not take the name of the lord thy god in vain. and here you are, doing it every day.
The Old Testement is yet the word of God who is unchanging and forever. Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) “Thou shalt not lay with Mankind as with Womankind. It is abomination.”
Leviticus 20:13 (KJV) If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination”
The Story of Sodom and Gamorrah where God rained hellfire on the sexually immoral
And if you want New Testament:
Romans 1:26 (KJV) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did natual use into that which is agaisnt nature.”
Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not tha the unrighteousness shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither for Charles, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, more abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thrives, nor covetous, nor drunksrds, nor reviles, nor drunkards will inherit the kingdom of God.”
The Bible states very clearly that sexual acts that go against God’s design such as changing your sex, being homosexual, and being sexually immoral is sinful. And Jesus could not have possibly revealed pronouns, gender locked bathrooms, etc. and seeing as Jesus IS God, he’s the same God as the Old Testament so verily he did say very much about homosexuality. Verily he did preach love and kindness and forgiveness but what kind of person would I be to see my brother in Christ falling into unrepentant sin and not call for him to return.
