Well. Kinda. I wont write a book.
I go to this LGBTQ site for individuals, mostly young adults, fifteenish on up. Of course, they are all over the world. What bothers me is that we all over the world have an innate knowledge and experience (identity) of being LGBTQ. When I hear people talk about their issues they arent talking about sex and who they want to be with. Their not thinking lust or the vast majority not confusing behavior with attraction. Some people are in danger to their parents and loved ones.
It is soo much more than mere attraction that when I think of christians (sorry) define homosexuals by same-sex behavior as if that is specific to us makes my skin crawl. If any christian here talked about their views of marriage and behavior there, at that site, it would take a WHOLE, whole new different context because you arent questioning and attacking their attractions nor their genders, but who they are an developing as a person. While one can love the sinner and hate the sin, that just doesnt fly with people ALL around the world with whom from different cultures still go through similar experiences.
If it were a western-fad or modern or so have you, Id assume it would be isolated to specific groups of people. A lot of people judge us by what is on t.v. and movies and past experiences judging others maybe because of their relgious views or generation etc.
Okay. So I lied. I am writing a book.
Anyway. As Im listening to the youth around the world come for support and like experiences it makes my teeth nawl at the misunderstanding and ignorance of biblical definitions of sex defining a whole chunk of teens who do not even fit those descriptions. It does make me sad that they have to grow up in this biased world. I bet they wouldnt have identity issues if we didnt judge them by the bible but who they aer and say they are as people.
No. Not love the sinner and hate the sin. If that teen falls in love and has sex to consommate that love, what exactly are you denying: their act of love or their genetials.
Because many people can love a persons exterier self. But judging them becuase of who and how they love, I hope these teens find a more loving and acceptable environment with whom our biases dont define our loved ones (even without them knowing it).
Im glad Im noticing no one else comes to that forum. While adults can handle you spiting in our face at marriage and so forth (context), not all young people will. While we cant change our opinions on certain sins, I would hope one would understand the sin in a different perspective (the facts) to where ons opinions would at least be factual even if you disagree with it.
