I wanted to reconcile myself and being trans and gay with Christianity. But it's just not possible. LGBT is fundamentally incompatible with Christian """ethics""". LGBT inclusive Christians are heritics.
The light of Christ has died in me. Yet I still seek God, and despair at the Godless civilization I find myself in. Is there any hope?
God works in mysterious ways.
you can be a good person without being a christian, user
practicing organized religion is very different from being a spiritual person and using the bible as a life guide
I am not that strong. I need a society that is Godly to truly live my best life. But it is just so hedonistic and shallow and unconnected.
>LGBT is fundamentally incompatible with Christian """ethics"""
How so? I see no contradictions. Are you looking too much at Americanized "Christians" and their wicked bloodlust towards God's precious queer creations?
lol weak
only if you recognize the authority of Paul, which many Christians historically did not
The Pope has laid down the facts of the theology and philosophy behind the Christian rejection of queer people. Denial of that is heresy.
There is no way forward with Christianity. That is why conservative and liberal churches alike are dying. People aren't stupid, the wool has been pulled from their eyes, and they understand in their heart that Christianity is not the complete truth.
Embrace Gnosticism
God directly told me in a dream that the pope is wrong. To deny that is heresy.
I don't understand why you would want to embrace christian slave morality anyway.
Why do you want to belong to a religion that worships weakness? Besides, most christian practices in Europe were invented as a means of social control anyway. God forbid, you dare to leave your god-decreed caste.
Why think God has to be YWHW?
baaaaaaaaaased
Imagine praising a god that wants you to guilt-trip your enemies like some sort of whiney little faggot instead of seeking open and honest confrontation. Couldn't be me.
Your pride ams hubris just strikes me as pathetic, honestly.
Objectively, the reign of God, from 800-1550 or so, was one of the most beautiful times and places to be alive. Harmony and human purity. I just think its sad that queers were persecuted, they deserve a place at the foot of Christ
I’d have a much easier time believing in the divine if the claim was that the god of Abraham was a guise of the Devil
>the reign of God, from 800-1550 or so, was one of the most beautiful times and places to be alive.
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
>Harmony and human purity
More like schizophrenia and human slavery.
>I just think its sad that queers were persecuted, they deserve a place at the foot of Christ
user, please. That's by design, the church needs as many people as possible to pay taxes.
Religion is just a means of making people accept their place in a social hierarchy.
>muh devil muh god muh evil
There's no good and evil. Good and evil are, in practice, the right of the stronger.
We create our own values. God is not here right now.
but what if the problem of evil can be solved with an imperfect god and a monad???
but i agree that the hell we made is ours and we should be blamed for it
>The Pope has laid down the facts of the theology and philosophy behind the Christian rejection of queer people
The Pope is only a series of men in control of a political organization warped by earthly temptations of domination and greed. Some Popes may have possessed some wisdom and knowledge of God, perhaps, but to claim that they all did is ludicrous especially when citing their ungodly hatred of homosexuality. Its as satanic as the sexism and racism theyve promoted over time as part of their hierarchal corruption of Christ's teachings.
My friend and sibling in Christ I think you have spent too much time considering religion and ignoring God, there is no reason to think he hates his queer children when his love is so infinite as to constitute our very existance.
Calling me a schizo while denying the fact that the Christian peasants lived fulfilled and meaningful lives
Your life is barren. You think filling it with your own hubris is a worthy substitute for actually living with a divine society and a church and community. Gross. Inhuman. Just leave my thread, youre depressing
>what if the problem of evil can be solved with an imperfect god and a monad???
We have no reason to believe this is the case. There a nigh infinite number of explanations of the way things are. Choosing one as terrible as there being a god that won't even clearly tell you what's going on is a retarded choice
>there is no reason to think he hates his *any* children when his love is so infinite as to constitute our very existance.
you actually believe in this?
You are simply a heretic my friend. The word of the Bible leaves no room for error: the union of love is exclusively reserved for men and women. Jesus only gave this union to men and women. While, very explicitly, in many instances, condemning behavior outside of this union
No, the European peasants by en large send their lives starving to death and being beaten. They didn't help themselves because they were scared of going to hell.
That's why we got rid of that system, it was terrible. Seethe harder. You are a pathetic maggot and also my property.
Some did, many did not. This was not a good time to be a woman or homosexual for instance. Regardless the key difference is in economic conditions; capitalism is an ungodly abberation that cuts away at the fabric of human togetherness and love.
Yes i have immense faith in it.
Your clown is accurate, faith is an absurdity and faith without laughter at the nature of faith isn't devotion it's self deception. We are all God's silly clowns and should embrace this. It is the true test, the leap of faith, that must be undertaken to feel God's presence as anything more than an internal self narration.
You have yet to demonstrate any evidence of this but i am waiting patiently :]
How the fuck do you know that? Did you go back in time for a survey?
