Jesus Loves Gays & Lesbians!

Does Jesus Christ still love and accept you?
Yes, He does! Consider these "5 Points to
Peace" to understand why you can be SURE
of it!
Point #1 – The human church is just that:
HUMAN!
The Bible itself is a record of just how wrong human beings
have been – especially when they've tried to be "extra
religious" [a few examples: Isaiah 1:15-17; Zechariah 7:4-6; Matthew
7:21-23]. In fact, it tells us that as the End of this World gets
closer, dangerous hypocrites [Titus 1:10-16] who claim to
belong to God – but who actually belong to the Devil – will
become more and more numerous and powerful [Matthew 24:10-
11; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Revelation 16:13]. Scripture also says that their
fake "love" and self-serving "good works" aren't going to get
them into heaven, because their hearts and mouths are full of
evil [Matthew 7:15-23; Matthew 23]. And one of the ways they
spew evil is in blocking Gays and Lesbians from Jesus,
mistranslating and misinterpreting Scripture, trying to
convince people that God doesn't love us! [Jeremiah 23:1-2; Luke
11:52; Titus 1:10-11]
Point #2 – God, however, is God – and
HE, not other people, decides
who He loves.
Unlike human beings, God never makes mistakes, and God
has a purpose for each person ever born into the world –
including Gays and Lesbians [Exodus 9:16; Psalms 139:13-16;
Isaiah 14:26-27]. The Bible tells that Jesus came into the world
because God loved the whole world – and not just a few who
Point #4 – But the world is broken, so you
3]. Further, Scripture tells us that God specifically chooses
those the world considers "foolish" and "weak" and those it
despises, in order to shame it for considering itself "wise" and
"strong" and "worthy" [1 Corinthians 1:26-29]. There IS a place
for Gay people – and it's right in the love of God!
Point #3 – You are NOT condemned for
being Lesbian or Gay.
Many "extra religious" people condemn Gays and Lesbians –
attacking us, cutting us off, telling falsehoods about us (the
Old Testament called that "Bearing false witness against your
neighbor" [Exodus 20:16]). But we are in good company,
because not only did "extra religious" people do the same
thing to every prophet, apostle, and teacher God ever sent
them, but they did the same thing to Jesus Christ [Matthew
23:29-35; Acts 2:23]. So their "track record" for truth isn't very
good!
But we also have 2 mighty proofs that being Gay or Lesbian
is NOT condemned by God:
First: When we trust in & rely on Jesus Christ, we remain
Gay or Lesbian – but we still receive God's Spirit, which is
given to those who belong to God and who will inherit God's
Kingdom [John 1:12-13; Romans 8:16; Ephesians 1:13-14]!
Second: The only way that bigoted others have been able to
condemn Gay and Lesbian people with Scripture is by twisting
its meaning, misapplying its lessons, and inserting words into
the text that are NOT in the original! But bigoted people
have done the same thing many times before. For example,
until 100 years ago, they twisted Scripture to "prove" people
of African-descent are "inferior". But nothing in the original
Scripture, as God gave it to us, says anything like that about
African-descent people – and it doesn't about Gays or
Lesbians, either. So the bigots may want to condemn us, but
Scripture condemns them [Deuteronomy 12:32; Proverbs 30:6;
Revelation 22:18-19]!
may not always hear the truth.
Jesus warns everyone who truly belongs to Him that things
won't always be easy – but knowing that, He says, we can
keep from being led astray. He also says "extra religious"
people will even make God's people outcasts from their
religious groups, and may even sometimes kill us – all while
thinking they are doing religious service for God. But do they
know anything about God? No! [John 16:1-4].
Other parts of Scripture describe "extra religious" people as:
appearing to be holy and righteous, but actually being
rebellious towards God [2 Corinthians 11:3-15a]; ruining whole
families by their false teachings, and making money doing it
[1 Timothy 6:3-5]; seeing "impurity" and "corruption" in other
people, when it's their own hearts and minds that are impure
and corrupted [Titus 1:15]; creating new "rules" they say come
from God, but which are actually of their own design [Mark
7:6-9; 1 Timothy 1:6-7]; disguising themselves as workers for
Christ, just like the Devil disguises himself as an angel of
light [2 Corinthians 11:13-15a]; and, claiming to know God, but
by their own actions proving they actually deny God [John
8:47; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10]. And these are the people running
the "official" Christian churches and organizations, today!
Point #5 – If you trust in & rely on Jesus,
you are saved – & Jesus shares
your burden and hurt.
Jesus – God Himself -- suffered insults, being made an
outcast, being tormented and called names, and even being
murdered by the same hands and same hearts that today
create Gay and Lesbian suffering. ALL good people who've
stood with Jesus against evil have suffered as well, in one
form or another [Luke 9:22-26; 2 Corinthians 11:23-27; 2 Timothy
3:12-13]. But by belonging to Him, we have available to us
the full armor of God, so we can withstand the Devil's
schemes [Ephesians 6:11-18]. We have assurances from Jesus,
that if we continue to hang on to and trust Him, we will have It is for freedom that Christ has set
peace, and we will reap great rewards [Matthew 24:13; John Are you Gay or Lesbian?
16:33; Revelation 3:7-13]! Remember what Jesus said: "I have
us free. Stand firm, then, and do not
warned you these things would happen, so you can have let yourselves be burdened again by a
peace in me. In the world you will all have troubles; but have yoke of slavery. [Galatians 5:1] Is someone trying
courage: I have conquered the world!" (John 16:33)

away...
For Gays and Lesbians, especially, part of belonging to Jesus
is learning FROM Jesus ABOUT Jesus, in the Gospels (a
good place to start is the Gospel of John) – and not
abandoning Him because failed and evil human religious
people have made us believe their sick and twisted version of
Jesus! [Matthew 7:15-20; John 8:31-32; Colossians 2:8] Scripture
says that if we want to know what God's all about – what
God wants from us, what God promises us – we have to
know the REAL Jesus – because Jesus is God made visible
for us [Isaiah 9:6; John 14:9; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15].
