Exactly who are God’s children?

What about Romans 1?
Is it about being heteronormative as the only acceptable behavior or is it about giving into worldly pleasures over spiritual concerns?

If this was indeed the plan, it was easy to execute.
Because…again let’s keep it simple.
Something happened to occur on the same day Easter was celebrated this year…something some Christians don’t like.
The next logical question is…so what?
I really do not know how to convey what silliness it is for Christians to get offended over something like that.
Nothing they don’t like is allowed to happen on the same day as Easter?
Do some people really not understand how silly that is?

This lib isn’t.
I think people are showing they hatee the person by calling for them to be beaten. And calling them ‘it’…stuff like that.
Stuff like that.

The people who spent their whole day on X or other social media yesterday being pissed at Joe Biden and making sure everyone knew it…how better might they have spent their most holy day yesterday?
This is imo what is the spirit behind the exhortation “I desire mercy and not sacrifice”.

Romans 1 is about rejecting the knowledge of the one true god and remaining in a pantheistic religious order.
That leads people into a sinful state.
Notice how giving over to lust in Romans 1 carries the same weight as being. A Gossip or Disobeying one’s parents.
And the punishment for this is death… but is that a literal death or a spiritual death?
Yet we don’t see people freaking out over gossips now do we?

I don’t believe jesus ever said homosexuality or being trans was a sin.
The funeral I was at last monday - Episcopal I think - the priest eloquently said he didn’t view either as sin and reminded everyone there - many of whom were not regulars that their church was open to all…it was very moving.
But yes, your point is a powerful and important one.
Everyone is a sinner. Everyone. and in the rank of sins - if your church thinks it is one - expressing your gender differently, well, that has t be pretty darn low in that it doesn’t affect ayone but one’s self…
Anywho, nice post.
