Lgbt+ feel excluded

On Lgb+ feeling excluded by church & good links👇

tbvh I think the true heart of the issue is >> 

Why would lgbt folk be included? Church and Christianity is for those who repented of their sins, and are following Jesus. Church is the people who turned away from sin, not those who live in it. 

Church is not a place for those who are unsaved; live in wickedness and love sin. The Church is the body of those walking in righteousness; the redeemed, saved and transforned ones. The ones whom Scripture says of sinners,"of such WERE you". 

On Christians & interactions with lgbt folk:

There's solid biblical churches and teaching, then there's wishy washy churches and false teaching, and false religions all mingled in what the world thinks is "Christianity", but it isn't, and too many, possibly yourself, are mislead about this. 

And in the true churches among true Christians... theyve never had to deal with this new issue which went from just gay and then exploded into the new lbgt++, and they dont know how to deal with or approach it. They don't have pastors who studied theology and the Bible at college, so they don't have good leaders explaining it to the congregation, or in Bible or evangelism classes. And unless you somehow randomly find it on a podcast or video in conversation, or among those who talk about how they left out of sexual immorality...

then they don't know how to talk to lgbt 🤷‍♀️, so they don't engage, cuz they don't want to make the person come out worse than they were before the convo cuz they didn't answer well to help you understand truth. But they know sin is sin in any form.  

 They just know we are to as Bible says:

* hate sin & love righteousness

* be separated from unbelievers/unsaved(*), 

*and from those who live in sin but claim to be of God's people. 

*reach the unsaved with the Gospel and God's truth.

The other problem is lack of Bible knowledge. Most people don't read the Bible every day of their Christian life, every day without fail. If they did, any of the sins, attitudes, unloving behavior would be brought under God's teaching and admonition and change would happen (renewing of the mind vs) across all believers.

But also they don't know how to engage the unsaved because they also are 

1. Not daily reading the Bible,

 2. Don't even know how to share the gospel. 

-->the Bible says there are few planting seeds, (sharing truth about God, reasoning with unsaved, and telling the biblical gospel), but theres a great harvest of souls to pray for workers to go into God's field (the world). 

But, with the help of the internet & practice, many are now learning. They're trying to engage even if they don't do it well. Even if they're timid person or introvert, or mess up.

So, if you have turned from God, or because of people who go to church or claim to be Christian did or said something you dont like... my encouragement to you: Jesus told his disciple why do you care about someone else, You- (come) follow me. You follow him, don't worry about others. So I encourage you to please look to & follow Jesus... and not focus on the ones you've met who claim to be His.

Get saved right now & throw away sins

Then, go research, you go read the Bible every day and obey what God says. If you are a believer, been born again then you are given a power to do so by the indwelling Holy Spirit 😊

Also worth noting... There's a truth but difference in the picketer street preachers of hellfire, vs open air preachers and those Christians who engage people for Jesus in a loving way.  

Some well intended, others are lead by Satan  to keep lgbt+ people hating God, and cause divisiveness - these are ones who are false converts, in false religion and many come from legalistic backgrounds (all which are not Biblical Chritianity).... so they come in and sew seeds of discord and talk about the issue wrongly. They are blind and also fail themselves to realize > we cannot keep the commandments, so every command broken (in thought Word and deed) is SIN. Any and all of it....but so is believers not engaging the unsaved in reasonable way. And many lack that understanding & kindness.

I do not identify with basher picketers, but they know all sin is sin and that Jesus is needed to save from sin and judgement and Eternal Hell. So they're misguided in a way they go about it, but also many wouldn't be there picketing if they didn't care about people's souls. So I give them a bit of grace. And if I run into them, I try to guide them a different way: 

They don't need pickets, but if they use it...

Imagine if they instead had pickets that said, 

"Ask me why Jesus 

Christ is important" 

even if it had hell flames on the placard. and they engaged people in convos in a clearly caring way. It opens meaningful conversations up.

So if you currently Are lgbt+ or are pro lgbt+ I will encourage you to understand what most Christians are unable to say (see below), and am thankful that you took time to read this and look into the below info. 

Thanks for checking these things out. I really hope this helps you as you think on the things of this topic. And I do hope you learned a few things you maybe didn't know before. 😊

Have you ever actually heard the simple and clear explaination of the biblical gospel ?

Why do people gravitate towards lgbt+ lifestyles? 

The links above answered this. 

Because mankind is fallen, we are sinners, we are born sinners. The world is Fallen and this is why there is sin, disease,  suffering and death. If we are born sinners we love and gravitate to what is sin. Scripture says people lust after sin and sin brings forth destruction. So it's not about being born gay.... its about being born a sinner. & sprlecufically the allure or draw or lust for lgbt+ sin... it's about the sinful environment around them. Either something horrible happened to a person as a child, or they were brainwashed by tv, music, movies, cartoons, and wanting to be loved, or school grooming/indoctrinating, peer pressured into gay clubs at school, and.... the 1.9% in the country trying to normalize it so they can openly live in sin. These things show true when lbgt+ people come out of it, are transformed by God when they get saved, and walk away from sexual immorality in any form. 

You can be free from Satan's grasp, free from the sin nature chaining and enslaving you to sin. You can be firgiven, recieve the righteousness of Christ, be radically transformed by God, recieve the righteous new nature and be revorn into a new creation. 

Desiring to be forgiven

Desiring to love righteousness

Desiring a eternal fellowship with God 

Desiring to forsake all and follow Jesus

Desiring to obey Scripture as the authority of God on which we stand and live by as truth.

Desiring to conquer and have victory over all sins

Desiring to live in eternity in a sin free place with Jesus and the redeemed of God. 

If you come to Jesus for righteousness, you can be saved. Repent and Turn to Jesus, today. 

Lgbt answers 

(*) definition of "unsaved" is a person not born again. And, includes those who claim they are but still cling to anything God calls sin, including lgbt++ lifestyles. God called us out of sin at conversion and transforms us by the Spirit from a lover of sin to a lover of righteousness. We hate sin if we belong to Jesus.
