OK… so since this is my first legit post i’ve decided to make it about something that matters..
AGAIN, this is MY opinion.. based on my experiences, beliefs and information.. feel free to comment, agree.. even DISAGREE.. but do it all with a sense of maturity and respect… -much love x]]
— So I just finished watching some ANTI-gay marriage commercial and to me.. it made NO SENSE.. it was very OVERDRAMATIC, stereotypical and to me just a complete joke. yes, I AM a PRACTICING christian, i love the LORD, and i take his word( the bible ) very seriously, but i feel like the voice out there representing what people WOULD STEREOTYPE me as, doesn't reflect the way i feel on this topic…
so let me just break it down,
TO me, GOD created adam and eve (we’ve all heard that joke “… not adam and steve”) for a specific reason. He created there marriage to be holy and pure and to bring offsprings.
IT also numerous times in the bible, it states homosexuality as a sin.
What is sin? - a persons NATURAL tendency to go their own GOD-defying way (sin entered the world when adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit)
THIS BRING US TO ANOTHER ARGUMENT I HERE CONSTANTLY ..
“I WAS BORN THIS WAY” vs. “THIS IS YOUR CHOICE”
SIN, as state before, is our natural tendency.. NO ONE IS BORN SINLESS OR PERFECT. so this is for this argument of “born VS. choice”.
Do i think it is possible for a person to grow up, being gay from the get… yes. THINK ABOUT IT… in a world of lust, single parents, fatherless homes ect… a mindset can be formed at the earliest of age, and a family chain can be started off of someone else mistake
*** IMA DEFINE MISTAKE IN SOME EXAMPLES:
EX1:a women and man have premartel sex (mistake) women gets pregnate.. (father flee’s the scene IF NOT grows to dispise/disrespect the women and child (mistake)…mother hates child for being born (mistake)..child can no grow up(if living with a single parent of the opposite sex) adapting to the gender tendency’s, ways of expression and interest NATURALLY because that is what they’ve learn as a child. OR mistreatment can affect the child’s understanding of love and affection.
EX2:a child is sexual abused by a person and now finds that gender repulsive NATURALLY due to someone else's mistreatment (mistake)
EX3: society has a certain CRITERIA for genders, set expectations and demand.. when those demands aren’t reachable to certain people, they will NATURALLY lean towards a more welcoming, understandable person.. no matter the sex (who’s mistake??… society’s)
…things like this can effect a human being in unthinkable & unnoticeable way.. thus passing done gender tendency's to future family members…
then comes the argument “IF I WAS BORN/MADE THIS WAY by GOD, and God doesn't make mistakes, why am i like this?? .. i cant help it”
As i mentioned earlier the bible states we are all sinners.
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” -Romans 3:23
but the bible also says that we must be BORN AGAIN..
BORN AGAIN ?? yes.. born again
That is what makes cleansed all the sins and dirty deeds i’ve EVER done, before i knew the LORD..
it is when you except God into you heart, and he changes you from the inside out.. so to those who say you were ” born this way”, there for can't believe in a GOD who would be a Hippocrate, here's what Jesus said him self..
John 3:3-8 (New International Version)
3In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!”
5Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
we are ALL born with sin, GAY, STRAIGHT, CURIOUS.. every creed and color..
but when you come to the understanding of what GOD had in-visioned for the world, which is NOTHING like what it is today, that's when you are truly BORN AGAIN… and he gives you the strength to work through all your faults, not because he DEMAND IT, but because you learn to love him, and like in any healthy RELATIONSHIP, you do things that he wants, because he is so loving, and you want to make him as happy as you can… and the good thing about that is that unlike other relationships, he KNOWS you cant be perfect, your TRUE effort is what keeps him happy and satisfied.. he loved you before you loved him!!
.. That another things that gets me upset to see .. sign that say “God hates fags”… he also hates lair's , and thieves … but we don't see people getting KILLED AND BEATEN FOR THAT. What god DOES hate is the sin… one of my most favorite quotes are ..
God LOVES the sinner, but HATES the sin!
So now that I’ve explained my position on sexual preference. Ima discusses my opinion on marriage…
MARRIAGE for me is God made, to be between a man and a women. I think it should kept that way and its origins should be respect. But i do think that there should be civil union because specific rights should be given to a persons significant other, there should not be considered just friends , but together, if that is there CHOICE. We do have freedoms that the constitution give us… and GOD has given us free will.. so a persons choice is THERE CHOICE. But i personally believe that marriage is designed BY GOD.. therefore he’s guidelines should be kept
( I know it took me a long time to get to the point, i hope it was informative, again this is what i believe, feel free to comment x]]] - god bless)
