 I grew up in the church. I was in my church's band. I was like I had multiple weeks where I preached and then one day I was like oh man this sucks. These people have views that are anti-human while they're the ones here preaching love each other Love everyone. I'm like you hate your neighbor like you were you're the ones telling me that gay people deserve to burn in hell I'm afraid it's actually quite a bit worse than that The Bible teaches that we all deserve to go to hell because of our sins against God and you may say That's pretty extreme because I'm a good person but that's part of the problem You see we create a standard of goodness that we can fulfill But God's standard of goodness is much loftier than ours because it's based on his character A lot of people get offended by the Bible's definition of sin because it hits us where it hurts Jesus calls us to abandon our sinful desires that we took on as identity in exchange for a new identity in him That can only come about by his grace and transforming work that was made possible through his sacrifice on our behalf on The cross lay down your pride and put your faith in him
