Jesus was and is an amazing person, probably one of the only truly good people on earth, and his message of love all is amazing, but the thing is many Christians, at least the ones I’ve been exposed to, choose what to follow and what to discard

Well, the line used to hate gay people would be misused, as although it is wrong to us, we're told told to love everyone, even if they are an enemy and persecuting us

Quick note on slavery in biblical times by the Jews. It wasn't the type of slavery you think of today, it was more servants that were treated well and would last at most 8 years and everyone would be set free during the Jewish holiday that occured every 8 years.

I’ve never heard that before actually

Interesting

And debt eviscerated during the same holiday.

As for slavery, in addition to what David said, there isn't (that I know of) that God says it's perfectly fine to have slaves, but it seems more of mentioning them when He talks about diverse groups a people

I also can’t believe that a god would create someone to be sinful, and as truly gay people don’t choose to be gay (I sure as hell didn’t), he thus made them have such proclivities knowing they would be perceived as wrong to his people

More of "if this is the case" rather than "you can do that all you want"

He didn't create us to be sinful

Then why is being gay a sin?

God created us to be perfect like him, but then Satan tricked Eve into disobeying God.

God doesn't want anyone to sin but he gave us the freedom to.

It's a sin because it wasn't what God had intended for his creation.

But I didn’t choose to be gay, so why was I created inherently wrong

We started out sinless, then Adam and Eve sinned, bringing it onto all the world. I don't believe He makes people gay or that people choose to be gay, but over time, as the world corrupted, and man with it (as we used to live to around 900 years at first) things such as that became more common

That’s an interesting way to look at it

You weren't created like that. Satan was just able to get to you from the start of your life.

So I was doomed from the start

As for being gay/bi, I have had discussions with other Christians and it's my belief that is is the actions of the sexual desire rather then the proclivity that is the sin.

Doomed? No, not at all

But God will still forgive you. He sent Jesus to die for you're gayness.

So that way you can still join him if you believe that Jesus died for you

Gay isn't any worse then any other sin, all sins are equal and have the same punishment.

Well if satan got to me before I even was aware enough to “sin”, then there’s nothing I can really do about it. I’m not going to shut out part of myself because some people perceive it as wrong. Love is the purest emotion ever, how can consensual love be wrong

But they can also all be forgiven

We all also have sins we struggle with more then others and will continue till we die.

Some people it's porn addiction

We all have some sin we have trouble with. For me, it's lust

I don’t want to be forgiven for something perceived as wrong, I want to be accepted for something that is a part of my being
