The Importance Of Being Christians In The Bible

Superior Essays
People today are so judgmental it makes me want to cry. I have a friend, who is very dear to me, who has been judge by so many people. I was raised to be nonjudgmental and kind, and it literally hurts my heart to see my friend being judge because he is gay. People bully him because they believe it is “wrong” to be gay because the Bible says so. I find it ridiculous. I am a Christian, and I believe in the word of the Bible. However, I also believe the bible was written in a time where a lot of the things today were never even thought of so of course they were considered unholy. A lot of people who are Christian have a problem with a person being gay and say many terrible things about people who are gay. I know the Bible says that being gay is an abomination and is a sin, but the Bible also says that Jesus died on the cross to forgive us all of our sins and that he loves all his children no matter what. The Bible also says that for a person to be a good Christian they do not judge others. I know a lot of supposedly “good Christian” who were the main people who were so terrible to my friend just because he was gay. So what we can gather from that is, people can see being gay as wrong but they are not supposed to judge a person if they are a good Christian.
I personally do not care if a person is straight,

I do not understand that. I do not think they “choose” to be treated terribly, for their parents, not always, to be ashamed of them, for people to tell them that they are going to hell that no one loves them, that they are “abominations”, and worst of all some are even told they do not deserve to live and they should kill themselves. I HATE it. When my friend told me that someone said that to them, my heart literally broke when I looked at his face. He was so devastated, and he started crying. It broke my heart in two, and I was so angry. He is a person! No one deserves what he went through. NO

    “Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless” (Martin Luther King Jr.). This quote by King describes how morality cannot ultimately be dictated by laws, but behavior can be. True morality comes from the heart and laws won’t cause someone have a morality change. Moral behavior is very often influenced by both religion and laws in the way that religion can make people think they may be punished in the afterlife for certain actions, laws, and both religion and laws have things that are prohibited that really aren’t “wrong”.…

    When thinking of religion there’s many things that come to mind. Religion is a very hard topic to understand because there is just so many questions and not too many answers to go along with the question. Religion can be judgemental; judging people’s sexuality, the way that others choose to live their lives, and making it seem that most things are wrong to do, but in the bible itself mentioned in Matthew 7: 1-2 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you”.…

    One of the biggest question about homosexuality in the Bible is how people should be interpreting it. There are points of views about finding out the true meaning of what the Bible says about homsexuality: 1) that everyone knows what the Bible/God said and the meaning of what he said can not be changed 2) we know what the Bible/God says but when looked at in context the meaning is very different from what people believe.…

    Homosexuality has always been a controversial topic in the United States, especially last year when the law changed for same-sex individuals are now able to get married. I attended a Catholic private school in middle school, in which we learned about God and the Bible. We were taught that people could be gay but that they could not act upon it, but it was best not to be gay because that not what God intended us to be. The idea of being gay was so abstract, I always wonder if a person was born that way or choose to be that way. I remember having my first experience of close friends coming out to me as a lesbian.…

    Thus, giving them an almost guaranteed pass on judgement day. The bible views homosexuality as “if a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads” (Leviticus 20:13, New International Version). This was taken seriously by both men and women and therefore, gay and lesbian individuals would resist coming out and were stuck fitting into social norms. With that being said, I will begin this timeline in the early 1950’s where the War on Queers began.…

    In a world of injustice and hatred, one would believe that people would at least have the audacity to respect others playing the cruel game of life. Homosexuals have faced many hardships and discriminatory laws that have suggested that they differ from heterosexuals and do not deserve equality. The unjust treatment towards homosexuals lacks mutual respect to marriage laws, adoption policies, and job opportunities. Homosexual couples may not fit the generic standards of what is considered normal in society but are humans, a part of our own species, and just as equally worthy of all rights that heterosexual couples have. On the other hand, there is a number of people who believe that homosexuality is a sin and against their religion, and others…

    In today’s society, we ostracize people for many reasons. We often ostracize people when they seem different or act differently from the majority of people.

    This attitude is clearly revealed in Leviticus 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination” (Slick). This demonstrates that homosexuality is clearly condemn in the bible.

Their bloodguiltness is upon them” (Slick). This statement is nothing short from harsh towards homosexual individuals.…
