Christians Do Not Hate The Lgbt Community

For many years people have thought the LGBT community and the Christian community were worlds apart. However, that is not always the case. Many Christians do not hate the LGBT community. It is true Christians do not agree with what they are doing but, that does not mean we hate them. I have recently went to a Christian conference in Pennsylvania and while there I met many people from the LGBT community. Christ is a powerful force of love and unity he brings people of all walks of life together. That is what he did in Pennsylvania, together we all worshiped and got along. No one thought whether the person next to them was gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender we were all just happy to be there. However, that does not change the fact that Christians

Christians have been trying to come together for years and help anyone in need. In one instance the LGBT community was in desperate need of help and comfort after a tragic event happened. There was a night club shooting in Orlando Florida and it targeted a gay night club. After that tragic event happened Christians from all over the United States came together to help and pray for them. Russell Moore, president of Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has called on his congregation and congregations everywhere to rise up and help the LGBT community. Moore wrote, “Let’s call our congregations to pray together. Let’s realize that, in this case, our gay and lesbian neighbors are likely quite scared. Who wouldn’t be?” Moore is referring to the Orlando shooting he is trying to get people everywhere to realize that you do not have to believe the same thing as someone else to help them. Moore also implored to all Christians to show the LGBT community “the sacrificial love of Jesus”. As all Christians know that is a sin to hate others and that God would not want you to hate someone because of what they believe. That is why most Christians choose to love and not hate the LGBT community because hating people is not what the Christian faith is about. As Moore said “We do not have to agree on the meaning of marriage and sexuality to love one another.” Many

In the bible there is clear evidence of what God intended for a couple to be. In Genesis 1:27-28 it says “So God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on earth’.” This verse states that he created a man and a woman so that they could populate the Earth together. In Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 it states “Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination. An abomination is a thing that causes disgust or hatred. If you break this rule the bible says you deserve the death penalty. The bible also states in Romans 1:26-27 “Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error”. The bible is very frank with how it views same sex relationships in the old testament. These verses are most likely the reason the LGBT community thinks Christians hate them however that is not the truth. With the birth and death of Jesus Christ came forth the new testament and in Romans 10:4 it says For “ Christ is the end of the law”. That means that the laws in the old testament have become obsolete it even says in the bible in Hebrews 8:13 “By calling this covenant “new”, he has made the first one obsolete; and what is
