Correct me if I'm wrong but when has being Christian mean you can't support the LGBT, like genuine question when was this a thing

im not christian but my brother is and he said its just due to people largely misinterpreting some things in the bible and people being stuck in "traditionalist" ways and equating that with their christianity

Some versions of the bible has that (since there’s multiple branches of Christianity) has it but not all.. for example the Catholic Church started allowing it like a few years back

Unfortunately, the bible has long been used and cherrypicked as a tool of oppression to... literally any marginalized group. If these Christians are called to love, then why is there so much hate in their hearts?

In the case I'm #observing on Alter right now, it reads like an unfortunate case of a child perpetuating this cycle 🤷 Especially if they're suppressing their own gender identity in the name of faith 😵‍💫 It's sad to see a religion of love be warped into anything but

its a common mistranslation in the bible about man shalt not sleep with man or some shit but aforementioned, mistranslation, amongst other thjngs, but being devout doesnt give one an excuse to be a bigot. there are a lot of queer christians but idk the context for this

no idea. i go to church and im the biggest bisexual aroace to ever bisexual aroace

certain verses within the bible are interpreted to mean that being queer is a sin worthy of being put to death. the main one quoted is leviticus 18:22: "you shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." christians who read the bible avidly get it directly from the text itself, but if you actually look into the teachings of jesus christ, He would value the lives of queer people, the same as He does say, tax collectors. it's complicated...

yeah I don’t get why a lot of Christians use their Christianity as an excuse to be homophobic? “oh it’s a sin” the Bible says to love thy neighbour i.e love everyone, “hate gays” is not one of the 10 commandments 🥀

As far as I know.. being Christian doesn’t automatically mean you can’t support LGBT people.. so I dont really get it 😭

to Be completely honest, I'd have To ask him. I'm not entirely Sure. I am a Christian Presbyterian so we do have different beliefs as he is Christian Orthodox. I may Ask him if you'd like me to. i Am simply just trying to educate others, All I know is that he is Not homophobic wether being Christian rules it deemed or not, if I need to be corrected On this i Am open to criticism.
