Recently we received a tweet which just didn't exactly make any sense.
Initially it sounded quite affirming but then again... We sought clarification, which with Twitter can be difficult.
We still love the sinners
Love it when the above 'pearl of wisdom' can be added.
My response about when they had elected to choose to be a heterosexual was fuelled by a book I had read recently 'Why Men don't listen and Women can't read maps'. Getting away from any misogynistic connotations, which were rare, the book explained in some detail how babies develop based upon the levels of testosterone and oestrogen.
This website' Viewzone' explains in far greater detail the science about babies formation in the womb and gender. I then came to an understanding, based upon science, that gender was a probability based upon the chemical balance when the baby was formed in the womb.

How can homesexuality then be a sin?
But still the Church, in various guises, still refuses to consider
- Experience
- Reason
- Tradition
- Scripture
As a Christian #Ally, one that wants to stand up for our friends across the world, those who may not have a voice or have temporarily lost their voice due to persistent arguing, I wanted to quell this individual with reason rather than bile. I added that "The terms used especially by Paul are heavily debated. The word homosexuality wasn't invented until CE18.."
Suddenly my 'victim mentality' was to blame. I resorted to Wikipedia!
- Victim mentality is an acquired (learned) personality trait in which a person tends to regard him or herself as a victim of the negative actions of others, and to think, speak and act as if that were the case — even in the absence of clear evidence.
'Absence of Clear Evidence'....
I think not.
As an ally we stand with the #LGBTQI community, shoulder to shoulder. As Christians we support you, not because Jesus 'ate with the sinners' (something I have often seen), but because of that great commandment "we love one another as Jesus loved us".

The Church, Diverse Church, made these cards which they handed out during London Pride. It was great to see LGBT and straight members of Diverse Church handing these out to the many thousands who thronged the streets of London that wonderful day.
It was great last night to be at the LGBT meeting in my local town, as a Christian, even though I am straight - to show that we care, we will be there and to demonstrate that they have our support.

Why not post the above image on your timeline to show you care?
