I am a high school freshman girl who has many friends who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and believe it is a possibility that I, myself, may
be lesbian or bisexual. Recently I discussed with one of my youth leaders whether or not my church believes it is a sin to be gay, and she said that it was. There was a long conversation with not very much sensitivity towards the subject, as I did not mention the possibility that I may be myself. (I was fairly certain she would be upset if I did, as she basically said that my friends were being blinded by Satan along with my friends planting seeds of Satan's lies in my head, even if unintentionally.) I had told her the small parts of the argument that I knew, such as people in medieval times who were tortured would not have 'chosen' to willingly be tortured, possibility of mistranslation, but I didn't have a solid source, and she had the Bible and 'the dangers of homosexual sex'. After, she told me to do some research, probably hoping I would find articles about how it is wrong and dangerous. And I did. But along with them, I found in Rev. Mel White's article here and many of the strong points that I need to possibly get my leader to understand. And today, I am planning on bringing said article, or part of it at least, to see what she says. Wish me luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 31,173 verses in the Bible. I disagree with 6 or 7 of them in particular, or rather, how people have decided to interpret them. Therefore, I disagree with 0.0002% of the Bible. That’s 1/5000th. Can you accept that? ~Snuffy |
