in the same boat, sweetie. Pretty…whole day. All we need

I try to pray before I reply so that God can give me His wisdom. Only He can reach the lost. I am just the messenger.

Hello Shelby! I got a bit of the hate messages you got too today. I'm not quite certain why some tumblr users feel the need to randomly select Christians and call them out. Regardless, we must pray for them! Just remember that we won't always have the answers to their arguments. Because most of them just want to argue, to try and convince you otherwise of what you already believe. Satan wants us to get all riled up about it, cause trust me I feel upset about it all myself. Anyways.

Thank you dear! Your encouragement is wonderful! It is nice to know others are living for Christ and are willing to stand up for Him! God Bless you! Thank you for your prayers and I will pray for you, too! :) <3

I've been under the same persecution you're going through right now & i just want to let you know, people are going to lash out on you because they are being CONVICTED. you're standing up for the word of GOD, and that's more than MANY christians do now a days. People don't want to accept the fact, that JUST LIKE EVERY SIN, we've got to lay it aside, and run towards Christ. How do we expect to die to sin, yet live a LIFE of sin? Forreaal, keep standing up for God! :)

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I know that I will be persecuted daily and I just keep asking God to help me breath through it all! You’re very kind! :) You keep doing the same and being a godly Christian and not a worldly one! <3


Q
Tell me, do you even care about how psychologically harmful it has been proven to be when homosexuals try to force themselves to "turn straight"? Or do you just care about the fact that those so-called "ex-gays" are abiding by your interpretation of the Bible, and their well-being just doesn't matter at all to you?
A

Not all homosexuals go through that. At any point when someone tries to force a change to themselves mentally or physically, it can be harmful. You are looking at this from an Atheist perspective and I am looking at it from a Christian one. I believe that through God all things are possible, He will help those who ask for His help. He does it every day for Christians who come kneeling before Him with their sins. He does it for me every day.

Why are you calling them “so-called ex-gays”? You really believe that it was just some big hoax? People change all the time. It’s not like once you turn homosexual you can never go back. It’s not always a one way train. Some even start out homosexual since they were little and then become straight. Those people are offering up personal stories to help others cope with their own lives and you are degrading them by making it out to be fakes? That’s really hateful of you to assume that. That would be like if someone were to tell you they thought you were lying about you being born gay. Those stories are just as real as anyone else’s.

Those people didn’t seem to be unhappy to me either, they didn’t seem to want to kill themselves, they actually talk about how much better their lives were. Please tell me how I am ignoring their well-being? I feel compassion for everyone and I am aware of the effects it can have on some, but not all. With every sin, though, a body will have setbacks. With every sudden change in a lifestyle, there will be issues. A smoker can’t stop one day and expect to be fine, they go through tremendous physical and mental changes that affect their every day lives. It is a process, cold turkey is never really a good method. But like I said, any psychological strain can cause some changes in attitudes. I am not commanding these people to cut off their arms. I am simply posting the truths in the Bible. I didn’t make the rules, the Creator of the universe did. You don’t like it, you can take it up with Him, but I choose to follow His laws no matter the cost because He has shown me a greater love than any fellow human being can. I may not understand every law fully, but I have faith in Him that it is for His will and ultimately for good. He is the root of my views.
