Hehe, lol.
I’m left handed and was confused as to why since none of my family members wrote with their left hand and was just like “huh. Weird. Genetics is a crazy thing, lol.” It was only this year I found out my dad had been born left handed but being born in Ghana last century, he has been forced to use his right hand.

With LGBT being more accepted than ever before too, I’m not surprised there has been a rise.

treating LGBT people like human beings is not morally equivalent to believing Hitler was a good person lmao

like yes Christians should be less judgmental of LGBT ppl, and as part of that, you shouldn't imply a comparison between us and the worst monsters in history as all just being people who God loves in the end

You're just moving the goalposts, dear. This is one of the proper contexts which it can be cited. By virtue of 1 Cor 6:9-10 homosexuals by virtue of being people who have gay sex can't be virtuous. The Lord may be merciful, but also just - and He will mete out justice by hook and by crook, for it is His Will, His Creation. He can do anything He wants with his Creation, even massacre it wholesale, and it will be moral because it's His Divine Will.

There is a divine will and a way that we're supposed to conduct ourselves but if people don't know or are struggling to follow it, the Lord can forgive. God loves everyone and that includes homosexuals. Just because someone sins doesn't make them a bad person. God gets it. There's no such thing as a bad person in the eyes of the Lord.


That wouldn't explain then why God sends 9 in 10 people to hell.

I’ve personally noticed that a lot more people are realizing that they are Bi or Pan than in the past. In the last year of my life, I’ve discovered that 3 friends are Pan and that I am Bi, when before this I only knew Straight, Gay, or Lesbian people. I think Bisexuality (and it’s subgroups) have become more accepted and recognized, and more and more young people are understanding that sexuality is on a spectrum.
