    true/false. Had a job at my school, but last week was my last week there. But I'll probably have a babysitting job in a few weeks when public schools let out. :yesyes:

    Homosexuality and Religion.

    Personally I have absolutely nothing against gay people. I think they're awesome. I'm friends with a few!

     

    But there are several verses in the Bible that suggest homosexuality is a sin. That isn't something that can be changed. We don't have the right to say "gay people are cool therefore I think homosexuality is right!" Just because society glamorizes it (and trust me, it really does make it look glorious and like a beautiful thing.....) doesn't mean it is right in God's eyes. Everything in the Bible is inspired by God. It wasn't written by ignorant, biased, judgmental people. It was written by God (theoretically speaking). We as mere human beings do not have the right to change what God has said, nor do we have the right to question why he has said it.

     

    We were all born into sin. As a child, you were not born perfect. You were born a child having no knowledge of right and wrong- you had to learn it all. We all struggle with different sins. Each one of us has something different that we struggle with. And there are people that struggle with homosexuality. Yes, they were "born that way."

     

    The thing with God, though, is, it doesn't matter how many years you've struggled with your sin. It doesn't matter how many times you've denied him. It doesn't matter how many times you've been blind to his word. The second you deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow him, you will be saved.

     

    I'm not saying that homosexuals are condemned to hell. Because guess what... we all are really. We all deserve death and we all deserve to suffer and die on the cross as Jesus did.

     

    But because Jesus did that for us, we don't have to. No matter what sin we struggle with, the second we deny ourselves rather than God, that very second, we are saved.

     

    I don't want to enter heaven and see Jesus and say "Lord, Lord! Do you not know me? I mean, I prayed and did mission work and I was a nice person and loved everyone!" only to have him look at me and say "Depart from me, you evildoer. I do not know you." (Matt. 7:21-23)

     

    Sure we may be good people and do good things, but if we blatantly sin against God and are so blind to his word, he doesn't want us.

     

    Would you want to be in a relationship with somebody who lied to you all the time, stole from you, cheated on you, gossiped about you, abused you, etc?

     

    God doesn't want to be in a relationship with us either when we can't even take his word for truth. When we can't give up those sins in our life to follow him. When we can't pour our hearts and souls into loving him... And that's all God really wants from us. Love. A relationship. For us to live for him and spread his love.

     

    So I guess that's it for me on this. I've had many many many arguments with people on the subject of homosexuality. I'm kinda worn out of it. I just feel like anything anyone does to not show love to God is a big disappointment to him, no matter what it is. I don't support homosexuality, but I'm not against it. I don't judge the liars, the thieves, the adulterers, etc. I don't judge homosexuals either. Everybody is the same in my eyes. Human.

    Favorite Religious Song

    Anything that David Crowder Band does. Like, I'm obsessed with them.

     

    I have a lot of favorite Christian songs really. And it changes a lot depending on what plays on the radio at the time.

     

    I'm really into White Flag by Chris Tomlin at the moment. That's on the radio a lot, but I heard it first at Passion and loved it then.

     

    Gotta say though, David Crowder Band. Literally everything they do, I'm in love.

    Honeymoon destinations

    in Travel & Vacation

    My BF and I have talked about Germany. Sounds random, I know! But we saw this Adventures by Disney destination in Germany and it sounded extremely fun. So we talked about, if we got married, doing the Adventures by Disney in Germany as a honeymoon.
