Bible Question: I've seen a lot of answers on the question of lesbianism and gays. I have been a "Christian" for 16 yrs. and am just now coming out of the closet. I am a lesbian and proud of it. I may not fit in with so-called "Christianity", but I know that I still serve the same God that I served before I came out. The very same one who's son is Jesus Christ. I've hidden my lesbianism all my life, I have now fallen in love and no longer willing to hide behind what society and "christianity" call normal. Does this make me a bad person? |
Bible Answer: I think you know the answer to this question. It's not the person but the action that God detests. It's not just society and Christianity defining normal but God, who is the final judge. I don't think you serve the same Jesus Christ I do because if you did you would turn from your evil ways and throw yourself at the feet of Jesus. Throughout the Bible God as examples of what is detestable in his sight. Why do you think he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah?? You have turned your back on God. Return to him and repent so that you may be saved. |
