I'm going to this progressive church and the discussion today was on sexuality😬don't worry the kids were excused to their church class
before the discussion started. It was about the churches view on sex and purity and maybe the churches went at it the wrong way. They showed a video about a couple of people's experience being LGBT and either being shunned or asked to leave and never come back. Just because they talked to someone about their sexuality.
To me God loves everyone and he wants everyone to experience love and by shunning people you only make things worse and you make people get further away from God rather than come closer to him.
I come from a religion that you can't even discuss sexuality anything outside of marriage is considered sinful. Even just having thoughts about sex was considered adultery. I knew kids that got kicked out of the church and excommunicated. And it only made them rebel more.
I think only God can judge someone so why not wait and let God do his will. Me personally I don't believe LGBT people necessarily go to hell. I also don't think being LGBT is a lifetime punishment. I've known people that thought they were sexually gay later on get married to the opposite gender and have large loving families.
What is your opinion on this?
