Greetings to my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
You will forgive me if I say that I believe my welcome here has been worn out. I have reason to believe that at least one memeber of this group has set their settings to ignore me. That's okay, I can take a hint.
I feel as though I have no friends here and I have been condemned for something that was not my choice.
I went through a long and terrible journey to be able to recognize who I am. I'm not going to sacrifice my health and happiniess for the ridiculous status quo of this group. The message that has been sent to me is this: all those are welcome to the body of Christ, except those that do not fit the majority.
You know, Christ ate with sinners and tax collectors.
He healed those outside of the Kingdom of Israel.
He called the leading religious rulers of the day hypocrites and vipers.
He said that what you do to the least of His Brothers and Sisters, you do to Him.
What have you done lately to bring Christ to sinners?
Do you hate me because I'm gay?
Do you hate me because I'm happy?
Do you hate me because I'm Catholic?
Do you hate me because I can look myself in the mirror and say, "Yes, I am a Son of God."?
Hate is not of God.
God is Love.

GW777, God does not hate you. As a Christian, I love you. I am also concerned for you and will pray for you and that you will see that it hurts Him that you are stuck in that sin.
When you say you have no friends here, you're jumping to conclusions. We don't hate, but we do tell what the Bible says and it's not always love, love, love. Yes, there is plenty of love, but loving without caring is really not loving at all. That's what I'd say a vast majority of respondents on here are all about. We love and have friends, but we also care and we want what is best for you and we know what God wants best of you from the Bible.
I'd like to know where you get that we hate you? Don't let Satan lead you astray. He is the one who truly hates you. -
