It gets better: Christianity is (slowly) getting better too

...The notion that God hates, or has a problem with gay/lesbian/trans/bi/queer people is not just a wrong notion, it's not just biblically shallow, but it is mean, it's intellectually and spiritually lazy, it denies what God has made true. God is not a homophobe. Those who believe otherwise are on the wrong side of God's revelation on this issue. They hide behind simplistic twists of scripture, but that does not change the fact that God loves you - exactly as you have been made by God.

Thank you. My church is very conservative and I don't see them changing anytime soon.

@trionboy God bless you as you wait for justice locally. We know what God has revealed. It is only a matter of time before rest of the world catches up (with the church, as usual, bringing up the rear). At least we don't wait alone, thank God!

You are such an extraordinary bright light! Keep Shining dear friend. I am a Gay Born Again Christian minister and I embrace all that you are talking about. You are in my prayers.

I found you because one of your internet 'bullies' also commented on my It Gets Better video...I am thanking God for him for bringing me to your beautiful video.

Keep Shining. I see you. :-)

Matt 7:1 "Judge Not..."

@MysteryMike Thanks, brother. I will hold you in prayer as well (along with our mutual detractor!). Keep up the faith. I am so grateful that God's steadfast love will always burst through the walls of the prejudice of people.

So-called "pastor", let me tell you something. Your opinion is yours' only, but Gods. And stop using the word "Homophobia" knowing not its meaning. It derived from two words "Homo" - a human and "phobia" - a fear, which actually means "fearing people". That's absurd, not a single Christian fears people. And stop telling that God loves people. Yes, He does< but He hates homosexuality. Can you see the difference, or you are so blind?

[obietom]

@LUK77ACH From the looks of your recent comments activity, friend, you need to "come out" in your own right. Come out of your fear. Come out of your hatred. Come out of your judgement of that which you do not understand.

And it's time to "come in" as well. Come in, to the full love of God. Come in, to true love and compassion for your sisters and brothers in faith. Why fill your heart with derision and anger instead of love? Set your sights on God's love, and you will be free.

God is love those who live in love live in god and god lives in them.

slightly trippy effect going on the video. Good message

[LUK77ACH]

@obietom Come out o my fear?!?! Fear of what?!?! Hahaha. Fear of your imagination, perhaps? ))) Yes, I have hate and judgment of the sin of homosexuality. And no matter what you say I have God's love. Well, you see, self-proclaimed pastor, comparing to you I know TRUE LOVE of GOD. True LOVE of GOD is not accepting everything.For instance, t doesn't accept sin, like homosexuality. Read and study the word. There for God HATES sin and people who like it. Besides, God is also CONSUMING FIRE.

@kristynsorrenti Kristy, according to your words God is also religious if He hates homosexuality. I'm not surprised that there are people so-called pastors, who "will be pleasing your ear" according to the Word at the last days.
