I follow God because God spoke to me and said follow him and I follow Christ because when I read the words of Christ I know in my heart that this is the truth of God but then I read 1st Corinthians and Paul is like "Shun people who have gross and icky s*x, icky s*x is totally the worst sin" and that just goes against practically everything I see in the words of Christ (s*x is a sin, but every sin is as bad as every other sin and we're all inevitably going to sin because it's our nature, but God forgives us).
Paul says a lot of things that are true and good and right but sometimes he says some shit that if Christ had said it I wouldn't be a Christian. It feels fricked up to reject Paul because he's like half of the New Testament but I can't believe in his message the way I believe in Christ's.

Your story hit me very hard Gabby. Iβm a 28 yo guy who didnβt think he can get affected by stories like this but I havenβt slept the past 3 nights and canβt do anything productive seeing your face crying for help but no one around to save you everywhere I go.
