I Really Don't Care - LGBTQ

Demi Lovato's new music video "I Really Don't Care" has really struck a chord with me. 

it's something i've been thinking about a lot lately. 

the big "G" word. 

G A Y.

"This guy has a 'Burn In Hell' poster. You don't have to hate, because my Jesus loves ALL!"

this is how she starts out her new music video. she's performing at L.A pride and declares that Jesus loves them ALL. 

finally, someone speaking out against the "burn in Hell" posters and the Anti-Gay picketers with a POSITIVE message. and a TRUE one at that!

I am a christian. however i do NOT think the LGBTQ's are going to hell. 

The bible says, 

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." 

Leviticus 18:22

This is what the world thinks of Christians. that we are all "gay haters."

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, ...nor men who practice homosexuality... will inherit the kingdom of God. "

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

THIS IS WRONG!

If we as Christians proclaim to believe the Bible is the true Word of God and we believe the whole bible, then we need to know that that is NOT the whole verse.

everyone seems to be forgetting the rest...

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

did you read that? 

yes. homosexuality is against God.

but so is... idolatry. (putting something before God. we do this daily.)

thievery.

greed.

drunkards.

sexually immorality.

etc. 

how many of you have ever gotten drunk? how many of you have had sex outside of marriage? how many of you have ever stolen anything? who has ever been greedy? idolized something?  been GAY?!

well then you're obviously not going to heaven right?

WRONG!

it says, "But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

you were washed.

you were sanctified. (meaning: free from sin; pure. make legitimate or binding by religious sanction)

you aren't banned to Hell just because you're gay. 

if we thought that way, that would mean everyone who has ever thought a wrong sexual thought, or anyone who has been greedy, or stolen anything would be damned to Hell. 

JESUS LOVES YOU! no matter who you are or who you love.

i do not think God approves of homosexuality...but He also doesn't approve of lying or gossip or greed... something we do on a daily basis.

i think it's about the relationship between the individual and God. i know people who love Jesus with all their hearts, who are homosexual. just because you are gay, doesn't mean you can't love Jesus. because He CERTAINLY loves you!

There are health risks involved with Homosexuality and i believe it is because God did not design it to be that way. but He is not going to damn you to hell because you are gay. He wants you to be safe and healthy and love Him with all your heart. 

just like he says do not get drunk. it's not that you're going to hell if you are an alcoholic; it's just that God designed our bodies and He knows what is good for them. getting drunk can lead to 1) poor decisions. 2) sickness. 3)hospitalization from alcohol poisoning. 

i have been drunk plenty of times. it was fun while it was going on but i felt awful the next morning. 

you're not against God if you get drunk, He just wants you to be healthy. because...

HE LOVES YOU!

He created you and He knows how your body should work.

The bible does say that we need to accept Jesus Christ as our savior and invite Him into our life.

"if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:9-11

Accept God as your savior and begin to have a relationship with Him. begin to make a change in your life for the good; for God, and He will reveal in your life what changes He wants to see in your individual life.

That is basically what i wanted to share. to get off my chest. 

i SO DESPERATELY want the world to know how much God loves them. 

i know this could lead into SO many more topics like "how could a loving God make such a cruel world." etc. but that will be saved for another time. 

i just want everyone to know that you are loved. 

yes. jesus loves GAYS!!!!

Jesus loves ALL.

just love Him back and accept Him as your savior.

that's all He wants in return. 

His love for us NEVER fails. 

Love and kisses,
