13. I love Christ. I am Gay. These people that follow the Jewish rabbi customs of Leviticus when it
concerns Gay people (even though I dispute what those verses mean that they use on GLBTers, also known as the 'clobber passages'), but then make excuses as to what God must have meant in regards to the OTHER verses, while still judging GLBT people show IGNORANCE. Plain and simple. I don't blame God for their judgment on others. They're just dumb. I commend you for not losing your cool. The most I would have done is walk by and say, "well don't sit there and make excuse for the Jewish customs for some people, and condemn the Gays, for shame! WHOSOEVER means just that - whosoever - Christ came to set the captives free - you me, everyone".

And again, I commend you for not saying nothing too, it's a personal thing day to day, there are some days I wouldn't say anything either. Just wanted you to know, I care.......

God loves us all. Everyone doesn't have to believe in Him, but I believe who loves us, and that is something I have believed since I was a little child, and I don't let others judgment tell me where I'm going after death.


"After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David and he loved him as himself." "The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." 1 Samuel 18:1
After Jonathan, who would have been king, had he not given up his rights to be so, to David, against his father Saul's wishes, died in battle - King David sang out to God about his love for Jonathan, and said, "My love for you, Jonathan, surpasses even my love for women."
