Does the Bible really condemn same-sex attraction? …does it condemn premarital sex? In this series, we look at the many things surrounding sex that Christians have been taught or mistaught. We start with the Old Testament “clobber verses” used INCORRECTLY to condemn gay Christians. We discuss queer-affirming scriptures from Christ and the prophets. We talk about the teaching of sexual purity. How ... more

    Thank you for backing me up, I feel a little silly for that one comment because I totally crashed out lol. I honestly just was angry because I am a non binary and I like men, and this pathetic troll keeps literally searching up lgbtq podcasts so he can hate comment on them. I honestly feel bad for him, because he must have a pretty hard life to be hating on others like that. I’m glad there are people like you in the world. Also, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH MY LGBTQIA FRIENDS!!!

  • I agree with “supporter of all😎”

    U are totally right, supporter of all! Pride isn’t a sin, it’s something magical… something amazing! Me my self I am a aromantic, asexual, and a nonbinary! In my thoughts, anyone is aloud to be who they want to be! Also, ignore supercharbos, he has literally no idea what he talking about, he does comments like this all the time, he is just jelous.

Q: How do I love my child and God too? Do you believe there's a way for parents to not feel like they have to choose sides?
