alright so I am actually a Christian but like I just cannot for the life of me trust people who put Christian messages and emojis everywhere in their bio and username because nine times out of ten that person is like one of the worst kinds of people ever

like the kind of people who use single instance bible quotes out of context to justify homophobia and transphobia despite doing stuff on a daily basis that breaks the literal 10 commandments, like the actual big huge important ones with a lot of emphasis that are actually reasonable.

I mean if my memory is correct, then that one part of the bible that explains why homosexuality isn’t good also explains why heterosexuality isn’t good. like within the context im pretty sure it’s just like “you shouldn’t have sexual relations without the intent of creating a family” so like it’s only discriminating on a technicality, but people will just use this to justify being actually horrible people to people who aren’t even technically breaking this rule

There are acutually multiple parts of the bible that condemn homosexuality such as “Leviticus 18:22 ~ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” However, that doesn’t justify people to be homophobic.

But the context and reasoning why is still important. And again this also doesn’t condemn just same-sex attraction just sexual relations.

Yep agreed 👍I thought you were using the bible to defending same-sex relations.

also, condemnation, as esben said, does not condone homophobia, but it also doesn’t have anything to do with whether you’re going to heaven or not

I agree. While verses like these prohibit same-sex religions, God still calls on us to love people, regardless of sin.

wasn't that a mistranslation from “lie with a boy as with a woman”, as in a child
