I may not have brought this up before, but my dad is a chaplain. My whole life I’ve grown up as a Christian. Secondly, I know a lot more about the Bible than your average Joe. So don’t even try to tell me what the Bible says when you don’t really know it. Just because in the Old Testament, God created many rules for the Jews to abide by because the Jews are his Holy Kingdom on earth. He wanted them to be as much like him as possible. For instance, there is a rule in the Old Testament that basically says “If you hit your mom or dad, your punishment is death.” Umm, hello? I hit my mom or dad and my punishment is death? Like, WTF?! See, that is EXACTLY MY POINT. Those rules in the Old Testament were the rules that god made for the Jews. Those rules were created for his establishment of his physical kingdom on Earth. However, I’m not saying that ALL the rules that god wrote for the Israelites don’t still apply, they actually do. The punishments on the other hand, they don’t apply.
Just look at it this way:
The New Testament is the writings for the new promise that God created for his spiritual kingdom of believers. The Old Testament is the old promise god made with the Israelites. There, understand? So don’t pretend like I don’t know anything. - Teale
I'm sorry if this is kinda confusing. I also wanted to add, God loves each and every one of us, but sometimes he doesn't like the decisions we make. So the decision to be gay, or to do drugs, isn't a decision that God likes or approves of. He loves us. Don't forget that. Just try to think, "Would God approve of this behavior?" If you even have to wonder, the answer to that question is most likely "no." SO just think about what you say BEFORE you say it.
