r/Christianity posts in defense of wholesome sexual degeneracy

Loving your kid is not a sin, shake off the dust of any church that teaches otherwise.

Jesus said just be nice and stuff

Churches need to get back to spreading the actual message of Jesus Christ.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."

A bunch of years ago my church, which didn't have an official stance on gay relationships, had a gay choir director. He'd been there for years and was widely loved. He didn't tell anybody at church, but eventually it got out that he had a partner. A significant portion of the church demanded that he be fired. People who had prayed, laughed, and cried with him suddenly saw him as somebody deserving of nothing.

Even though he had support from church leadership, this drove him not only away from my church but away from Christianity altogether. Last I knew, he never regained his faith.

My pastor was unable to take an official stance because of hierarchical problems (later fixed, but too late) but did give a sermon about the sin of driving people away from Christ. This was not enough.

I can only hope that you do not let this horrible experience drive you from God. There are people who love you. Loving your son is not wrong. I believe that you can find another church that will treat you right.

darn imagine following the Bible's teachings, what a horrible experience

I've never understood how churches like this could think they're loving without twisting love the ways abusive parents do until it means cruelty and abuse. The Bible should be our guide for spiritual matters. Using it as a guide for matters outside the spiritual is abusing it, not respecting it. It's not a science text and it shouldn't be used as such

We shouldnt take scripture seriously because sometimes there is allegory!

The hate for trans people is growing to a crescendo, fueled by the personal anti-trans obsessions of some of history's most wealthy people, and the advantage many politicians find in stoking it. Obviously "Jesus is an obedient attack dog, kept tightly leashed by the world's wealthiest and most powerful, hating whoever they command him to hate" is absurd on the face of it, but... well, we live in an absurd era.

The (((wealthiest and most powerful))) are to blame for christians not accepting tr4nnies cutting off their peepees

Apparently they didn't read Galatians 3:28: "There is neither male nor female, for we are one in Christ". I hope you find a more accepting church!
