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?

No Bro... NOT saying this to be offensive or anything I just don't know how else to put it... But YES a True Relationship with God he wants you Sexually Pure... PART of the reason for that is to test your Loyalty to him and his word and not being Tempted by Satan... And no I'll admit it's NOT the easiest thing to do... But I have said it before their is A LOT of "Fake Christians" out there that have NO Clue what a True Relationship with God even means... I've said it before... God said "Observe the world but be not part of it" Means you are just happy to eat everyday... And YES when he first started trying to get my attention I DONE THAT... He doesn't want you to part of ANYTHING "Wordly" Satan is the king of this world and he wants your Loyalty to be to him.. But again he DID show me who he was and let me know he was watching over me me when I started being Loyal to him I had my "Supernatural Experience" with him as my Religious Aunt calls it... But that's what a True Relationship with him means.. your just passing by in this world and not supposed to take part in any of it... And that's NOT just LGBTQ... That's everyone regardless of Sex or race... But I get it it's NOT easy to do and I'm STILL Back sliding... But..
