Do any of you ever worry that your relationship with Christ is weaker because your gay (or did you feel like that when you first realized you were)? I seem to feel like that ALOT lately now that Im accepting the fact... :/

I believe that wherever there is love in a relationship there is God,especially if that relationship is Christ centered. A relationship does not fall apart because it has two people of the same sex but because those two people aren’t going to work at that time and place or maybe they just aren’t the right people for each other….Our relationships are not inferior or weaker than heterosexual ones.
“these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” maybe it’s already been posted, but it’s my favorite line when talking with a christian who thinks that when jesus said love is the fulfillment of the law he only meant heterosexual love

A conservative research group in the US has called television show Glee’s William McKinley High School an “insult” to the former US president it is named after, as it is “The World’s Gayest High School”.
Surprising analysis of Glee last chapter.
“He goes on to claim that, in one scene, the character Rachel is “intimidated”, by two gay men, and in another, characters Blaine and Kurt “more-than-subtly flirt” with each other, when Blaine says “you look cute today”.
Collins continues: “And finally, in the most overt display of all, Blaine asks Kurt’s father for his son’s hand in marriage. His father is all in favor of the institution, those who support gay marriage are on the right side of history, he says.
“
Personally I don’t see it…..
The repentant homosexual must be met with forgiveness. Even hypocritical homosexuals must be treated individually with compassion. But the collective behavior of the hypocrites of homosexuality must be met with our most forceful arguments and our complete intolerance of their lies.

“…it’s no coincidence that black Christians in the public eye are often overlooked by the religious right and the media until they express religious opinions that fit into the politicized framing of the culture wars (see: Bishop Harry Jackson, Ben Carson and, of course, Chris Broussard). In such a media culture, there’s little room for Christians like Collins, battling multiple stereotypes as a black, gay, pro athlete expressing his faith publicly.”

Persecution is part of the Christian walk. Every believer in Christ Jesus is persecuted. Many times we are persecuted not by those outside the fold but by sheep within the fold of Christ. Jesus says that it…
The first is my initial response to an ask this morning the second is a message I got regarding it which I felt summed up what else I wanted to say!
I remember a song I used to sing at primary school (which was church run), it was one my favorites:
“Jesus love is very wonderful, Jesus love is very wonderful, Jesus love is very wonderful, oh wonderful love, SO high you can’t get over it, SO low you can’t get under it, SO wide you can’t get round it, oh wonderful love”
Does the church know what it’s like when you realise at fifteen that, that song was a lie? That they lied to me. They didn’t tell me that love was conditional. They didn’t tell me that love that Jesus gave on the cross only counted if I didn’t wake up sweaty and gasping from dreams about girls that I knew would horrify my mother, didn’t count every time I got butterflies when I saw that girl in school.
