> gay is ok, by the word of the bible there is nothing against being gay
@chaz Actually.. there is a verse where it’s declared homosexuality is an “abomination”

This is true

I am Jesus and I approve this message

lol

The direct translation of Paul's comments on "homosexuals" was only ever used in Ancient Greek as....homosexuals

It's not a big linguistic mystery

i've only ever been to church once and after that i went back to playing xbox

ooh cause that verse says gay *acts* so being gay is not bad

Define 'being gay'

being attracted to someone of the same gender

Gay:
“Two broooos, chillin’ in a hot tub, five feet apart, ‘cause they’re not gay”

The problem that is invented over the Bible and homosexuality is the anti theistic precedence that sin must be hated, even though Jesus clearly states that is NOT the case. Sin is to be admonished and shunned, and the sinner is to be helped and loved.

@corny🌽🌽 Agreed. Some people wield the Truth as if its a spiked club, bitter and hateful. But others go after love and end up embracing not just sinners, but the sin itself. Christians, imo, need to be better at speaking Truth, in Love, not just one or the other

im a pastor, but your momma dumb

Mhm

@corny🌽🌽 but congrats, spread the good word

Hate the sin, help the sinner

> I am becoming a pastor, dont debate me on the Bible. Just an FYI. 😘
