Me: I’m a Christian. And a lesbian.
Them: Bah! Didn’t you read Paul? “And such were some of you!” - “And such WERE some of you!” Past tense!!
🙄
Them: What?! Would you call yourself a lying Christian? Or a stealing Christian???? You wouldn’t would you? Hah!
🙄
Them: I love you, but Jesus doesn’t let us stay in our sin. You can’t remain in your sin... ! REPENT!!
🙄
Them: What? Identity is found in Christ alone. You’re not a lesbian! You’re a same-sex attracted Christian who struggles!! Same-sex-attracted!!!
🙄
Them: So what do you believe about trans people???
🙄
Them: Oh it’s okay. I’m a sinner too.
🙄
Them: I’m sorry but the Bible is clear. The sexually immoral will not inherit the Kingdom of God. That’s what it says. I’m not homophobic. I’m NOT! I’m NOT homophobic!!!
🙄
Them: Next thing you know we’ll be defending pedophilia and bestiality!!!
🙄
Them: Oh, wow. Can we get coffee to talk about that??? It’ll only take several hours, & I’ll only expect you to answer every single one of my questions with a level of theological expertise expected of M.Divs who read Greek and Latin.
🙄
Them: Oh, wow. Can we get coffee to talk about that??? I promise that I’ll be completely genuine in my attempts to make you realize that I have all the answers to the questions I ask and that you really just need to let me disciple you.
🙄
Them: Oh there’s this great book by Rosaria Butterfield that you should read. Have you heard of her? She’s GREAT.
🙄
Them: There’s no such thing as a gay Christian. Identity is found in Christ alone. In Christ alone!! IN CHRIST ALONE!!!
🙄
Them: But you can be free from that. Just like God delivers alcoholics and drug addicts.
