It is a sin to live as LGBT.
It is not God's will.
But Jesus can change you.
They can’t even get their own scripture right, so I’m not surprised someone would botch this so badly, too.
Wow! All the Black people who experience systemic racism will be thrilled to know that Jesus can make them white.
America hates LGBTQ.

You know what is a real sin? The fucking way that people in society are treated as productive workforces to further enrich the rich. The way that people get kicked on the street if they miss a rent payment. The way that the newspaper headlines say it's a tragedy that the Titan submersible sank, but if thousands of refugees drown in the mediterranean sea, it's not even worth a headline anymore. (i'm still pissed about the latter one). Refugees that exist in the first place because of rich people's greed for oil.
Fun fact, medieval Christians in some parts of Europe actually believed that "moors" (a catch all term for Africans at the time) with black skin would become white if they converted to Christianity, and there were many popular tales of this happening. Race as a concept hadn't really been invented yet, but medieval people did notice that people they encountered who had dark skin often practiced Islam and wrongly assumed that believing in Islam was the cause of the dark skin rather than it just being who happened to convert.
Modern Christians haven't really changed much.
*moops
Right, because kids going through all this sexual/mental stress when they hit high school love making their lives more difficult with bullying and hatred, when they could just choose to be straight. Damn idiots.
/S
*Lol the black edit.
It's called the BI-ble, not the Straight-ble. Adam AND Eve, not Adam or Eve.
I haven't realized I am black until this post. Thanks religion, I'm now black because I'm a white bisexual guy.
The opposite is true. If you're gay, God made you that way for a damn good reason! Who are you to question His will? It is a mortal sin for a gay man to sleep with a woman!
In 1836 Elijah Abel was similarly promised he would "be made ... white in eternity"
Why are you reposting ragebait shite
It's obviously satire with "black"
The difference between satire and reality is slimmer than most care to admit. Poe's Law most of all makes it near impossible to pull off "perfect" satire that's obviously satire to everyone.
The only thing making this post satire compared to what many conservatives unironically believe (yes, even about black people) is it was posted to 196
It's always fun when religious people claim to know what is or is not gods intent or doing, when they so often claim "his ways are unfathomable for us mere humans" whenever it suits them.
Or they use the Bible as source, a book written by humans who they never knew and cannot verify if they were terrible people. (based on the content of the bible they most likely were assholes based on modern values)
As a christian, it deeply saddens me to see oyher people who call themselves "christians", yet they spread hate and antipathy, going agaisnt basically everything that Jesus taught.
Wait, what do you mean you aren't born bla—
Oh honey, I do not need this argument right now but I am compelled to tell you how wrong you are.
notices what community this is
Oh thank fuck. We're mocking the thing.
I need to sit down.
It’s pretty unethical for Jesus to go around turning people gay then.
Maybe he shouldn't have got so swole then
His last supper was pure protein and steroids...
