From the moment I realized some people both sincerely love Jesus and sincerely believe being queer is not a sin, every time I chose not to learn from them (instead of assuming) the rationale behind their faith, I was SINNING. 🧵
It was a SIN because I chose to assume my interpretation was absolute—an interpretation that excluded people God loves from inclusion in God’s family. I chose comfort instead of honestly seeking truth, at the expense of God’s beloved.
It wasn’t merely my opinion, but my SELFISHNESS that was wrong. For a Christ follower, for one to allow any human doctrine to separate another from Jesus should be UNTHINKABLE.
I don’t assume everyone will automatically arrive at the same conclusion as me. But if you’re okay with consigning a person God loves to any kind of separation from God when there’s even a slight possibility you could be wrong, you too need to repent.
