Tell me that being LGBT is wrong well let me point out a few things that there is an abundance of in the world but it seems people have no problem supporting and some of you have done yourself.
Divorce-
Malachi 2:16: “I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel.” According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” ( I believe the only place that divorce is even remotely accepted is if adultery or rape occurred) Just not being able to live with the person and stand his/her actions is not a suitable reason according to the bible.
Masturbation-
Romans 6:12
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Sex before marriage-
Corinthians 7:2 (ESV)
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
Adultry-
Leviticus 18:20, “Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her,” and in Deuteronomy 22:22, “If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die.”
Exodus 20:14, (NLT), "Do not commit adultery. . . Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else your neighbor owns,"
Greed-
(Luke 12:15). “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal… You cannot serve both God and money
Lying-
Colossians 3:9 says, “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.”
Alcohol-
Numbers 6:3 (ESV)
3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.
So if you have done any of the above you have no right to not support those who are LGBT because by doing any act of the above you are supporting sin!
James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. To sum that verse up If you committed any act of the above you may as well just be LGBT.
I am not the most religious person nor do I claim to be. Honestly im not sure what the hell I believe in, but one thing is for sure I can throw the Bible around just as well as any one else. Google search is a great tool and there are great websites out there which give more detail of the sins above and what is thought of them. I have just had it with people throwing the bible in my face (mainly my family Dad!) saying that being LGBT is wrong. Well I happen to know you are not perfect either Im not going to publicly announce your sins or anyone's sins on here. They are your own, but just know even though if you can justify in your own head the sin, it dose not make it any less of a sin.
I have many LGBT friends and will support them and their right to marry their significant other. I see more love in their relationship than I do in the straight marriages that are around me. My two best friends are "married" to each other the are a lesbian couple. They love and respect each other. They share everything and have made a beautiful home together. The children from the previous marriage (to a man) love their mom and treat her with more respect than most straight couples children respect their new step parent. No one has any right to judge this family and I will continue to stand up for them when people speak ill of them.
People need to take a good hard look at themselves and fix their own home problems before focusing on others. I am related to a preacher trust me this is a pain in the ass. I love my Uncle and his family very much, but by being related to a preacher (who i might add also baptized me when I was 13) I have learned that some of the most judge mental people are those who "live their life by God" but as I stated in the verse above it is not our place to judge.
Just another note this fire has been burning in me for a while just haven't had the time to write it down no one sparked this fuse by what they said lately just added to the flame. I promise their is more than one of you with you own opinion of the LGBT community. So once you read this do not comment, text, or ask me "was this about me are you targeting me" my answer will simply be "If you are asking you must have a guilty feeling that you are living your life wrong if you see any of the sins above you have committed I suggest you go speak to your local preacher"
This is the sight I used to help me with this. If you would like to check it out its pretty cool just type what you want to know in search and you will find your answer in the bible.
