I WAS WRONG

[IAMANOBODY2015]

I just wanted to apologize for writing my message to my Christian haters thread. I was wrong. I wrote that thread out of anger towards Christians. I was doing exactly what I accused Christians doing; throwing stones. But I was hurt.

After the Orlando shooting, some conservative Christians praised the shooter. And I saw threads on this website doing the same thing, and I reacted.

I have no right telling other Christians how sinful they are or telling them they are guilty. That's God's job and God's job alone.

Romans 14:4 Says

Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

I recognize it as sin on what I did. But just note I was hurting. But now I am feeling guilty over my comments.

I have been hurt by the attitude the Christian church has towards people like me who struggle with same-sex attraction, and I am still hurting. I am not saying I am hurting because they will call sin for what it is. I know that's a loving thing to do.

But when they exhibit hatred towards us, it's hard to repent. It makes us want to run away from them.

I want to repent and turn from my sin. I want to have a relationship with God through Jesus. I want to accept Christ as my Lord and follow his ways. I want to experience the spiritfilled life. I want to be healed from my sinful desires. But I can't do that when I have anger towards his followers.

So I just want to say I was wrong, and I am sorry.

You are forgiven if you truly do repent and turn from your sin. No matter how some who claim they are Christians have treated you, Jesus does not see you in any hateful way. He loves you.

And to Him, you ARE somebody. You are His child, you are precious, He died for you so that you could turn to Him and be forgiven. (And forgiveness is something we ALL need).

And thank you for your apology, although, you DO NOT have to apologize for being hurt. If people hurt you and judged you, then they were wrong to do so.

I will pray for you.

God bless you.

I'm sorry people were so cruel to you. Feel free to PM me. I've had some sexual orientation struggles myself, and a struggle coming to Christ because for other reasons I felt like I "couldn't".

God is so much wiser and more loving than any human being can be. Study the Bible thoroughhly and let it speak to you. Feel free to ask others what certain verses mean, but take your time and enjoy it.

I've also lashed out at people on here. Take comfort and knowing that God has forgiven you, and forgive yourself as well.

And lastly, focus on your walk with Christ above all else. Leave behind all of the issues surrounding homosexuality. The bible speaks on so much more than that.

Bless yer heart, you are not hated. We ALL struggle with one thing or another. Those who you describe as celebrating the deaths in Orlando certainly do not reflect God's heart, which is summarized right here:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16

You were hurt and you lashed out. Sometimes the weight of our troubles can make us do that. Jesus was the only "Christian" that was perfect. The rest of us not so much.
You are loved. You are a member of the body of Christ, his earthly church. All is forgiven. And you likely did encounter people that claimed to be members of the church and yet acted like they were agents of that other guy. That's the wisdom in those passages in the Word that tell us to know one another by our fruits. All people. And that the wheat shall separate from the tares.

It's easy to say, "I'm Christian." It's like getting a tattoo that states that and thinking that makes it indelible. You believe it, the generic you not you personally, the world see's it, and God is fooled.
God knew us before we were born. He predestined us for his glory. When you meet that one that claims the name of Christ but acts like the devil there's God! Showing you the difference.
Judge not that ye be not judged having not first realized you too are imperfect. And yet use righteous judgment in order to ascertain wisdom and proceed as God ordains. God's Peace Embrace You.


Joining my sisters and brothers in prayer for you.

Thank you. God bless you.

Your apology says a great deal about you, all of it positive. My thoroughly non-Christian view is that you had no requirement to offer that apology. The apology was due from those who made you feel that you did.

I wish you well in resolving your emotions regarding same-sex attraction. For what it's worth, there are large numbers of people inside and outside the church who do not see it as an issue today. Good fortune be with you.
