Southern Baptist father's reaction to his gay son. 

he said his hatred towards homosexuals had NOTHING to do with his faith in Jesus and that his hatred was due to being raised a bigot. Christians are not taught to be bigots they are taught to love God and love all people christians and none christians alike and hate sin because it hurts mankind and leads people to hell.

Promise Smithee thats what his comment is saying... hes admitting that being a christian, he chose to be bigot which he knew was not the right decision

Make-Make Though not all Christians are raised to be bigots.

Limbos Vi I know this. There are variations within Christianity, some of which interpret the Bible and the teachings of Christ as parables and metaphors, and others who take the book as the literal word of God...it is the latter group which frightens me. I've read too much of the Bible for comfort. That's what made me an atheist. If one were to take those words as actual commandments from a supernatural deity with the power to give eternal life (after death) or eternal life (in a glorious sky-home called heaven), then it's scary what that supernatural deity requires of his followers.

Make-Make That is very true and as a Christian it gives me comfort to know there are atheist that understand this and see both sides of the coin. I do take the Bible literally, sometimes it's a verse within the Bible within the passage, sometimes it's the message as a whole I take literally within that verse in context. The tricky part (or not depending on whether you see Jesus as God or not) is that for Christians (who believe in Jesus as God) the Old Covenant (you know all the old laws found in the Old Testament aka The Law) was fulfilled by the coming of Jesus Christ hence establishing the New Covenant of Grace. You can find many examples of Jesus breaking the Law in the New Testament. So even for Christians it's ridiculous to grab verses from the Old Covenant and just try to apply them to today's world, without first passing them thru the filter of the New Covenant, even some verses in the New Testament because of their cultural and historical context when they were written. Anyways I can't speak for every Christian out there but some do chose to hate rather than love, it's unfortunate but it is the sad truth.

@@armymanssg508 Get the HELL out of here. God loves everyone. He has NO hate. I am a Christian girl at the age of 13, and I am GAY. I treat everyone equally. How dare you say those evil words and have hate. It is what it is: Love IS Love, and will always be Love. No matter whom you feel that emotion for. Now grab your bad attitude, church shoes, and your hate then get OUT of here. I'm more mature then most adults when it comes to certain topics.

Haahh you are a HYPOCRITE God loves everyone but hates the sin in us that is confirmed Rom 3;23, and Rm 6;23, he made them MALE and FEMALE, MAN and WIFE, FATHER and MOTHER and only blessed and sanctioned them in heaven which is written Gen 2;18, Gen 2;22-24, 1 Cor 11:9, confirmed by Jesus in Matt 19;3-5. The consequences for same-gender sex and marriage are written in Lev 18;22, 20;13, Jude 7;1-10, Rom 1;24-32, 1 Cor 6:9-11 and Rev 21:8-10, you have no idea of what the 'HELL" your talking about and you are in no way one more mature than an adult you have no idea of what love is not of what did for us. You are just STUPID enough to think your opinion is above God's law....😉😉😉😉😉

ARMYMAN SSG Youre belives dont stand higher than any other belives. There isnt one true religion or belive, if you were raised very strictly as a buddhist you would probably say that buddhism is the only true religion. Dont think so highly of your self and dont talk about people not knowing love when youre the one spreading negativity and hate even tho christianity is about spreading love. I know youre gonna read through half of this comment and allready judge me as a lower person than you because i dont share your belives and because i have a different lifestyle than you. And people having a different lifestyle than you is so hard for you to understand, you have to use your religion as an excuse why only your way of life is the right one.

I love you so much son that I will simply appease your conscience and pretend I don't care that your going to hell for eternity on judgment day ... What a dad ..NOT!

@@armymanssg508 + I find it interesting and troubling all at the same time that you start out every comment taunting with 'Hahahaha'. You profess to be a Christian, as am I, however you know nothing else about me or my beliefs...you only assume what they are. I try to live my life by examples in the Bible, being cautious not to judge or hold people in disregard, but instead try to love and help everyone like Jesus did. You on the other hand choose to weaponize the Bible and cut down/condemn anyone 'unworthy' of your beliefs and knowledge. Not many people would be interested in that kind of Christianity filled with hate sponges who judge and condemn. Go back and read your responses and see who exhibits hatred and intolerance for others. God didn't give us the Bible to bully people with and beat them over the head with. You need to do some MAJOR introspection...if you're even capable of it.

@@armymanssg508 + Once again, you know absolutely nothing about me or my beliefs...you only assume...and by so doing, you make yourself look pathetic. I believe that judgment is reserved for God, and God only. All you have done in your rants here is condemn and spread hate. Jesus would be proud? When you point at someone and tell them they're 'sinful', there's three fingers pointing back at you. Perhaps you feel that you're above the rest of us and thus confidently condemn and pass judgment. Introducing people to the word and letting the HOLY SPIRIT lay convictions on one's heart is what the Bible tells us to do. You're a sad example of what being Christian is. Your actions have no doubt repelled more people from Christianity than it has attracted. Or perhaps that's the goal.

Hahahh what you fail to see is that God has already judged and condemned same-gender sex Rom 1;25-28, 1 Cor 11:9, 1 Cor 6:9-11, Jude 7;10, and Rev 21:8-10, the people that repelled are the ones that have agreed with your evil attempt to abolish God's laws against you and are on the same boat to hell as you are Rom 1:32 is clear about that as well, I never said I was above anyone I've always said I am a sinner just like you I just exclude any particular one like you, people, have done then try to force others to agree with me. My goal is to inform you and those like you those who agree with you that you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit of God by declaring his loving words of warning against homosexuality/LGBTQP+ is hate speech and that Mark 3;28-30 is very clear that you cannot be saved for doing that My goal is to give you that warning as God said to do in Eze 3;18, Eph 5:11 and I don't have to care how you feel about it you are the one defiling Christianity by declaring you can commit your disgusting, unnatural, and wicked Practice in the name of God, but you are nothing but a LYING, HYPOCRITE, SODOMITE. Giving someone a warning is not judging them you just hate to hear the warning, put down your foul half-truth queen James nonsense you only confirm 1 Tim 4:3, They will not tolerate sound doctrine and gather around them a multitude of teachers to tell them what they want to hear.

@@armymanssg508 + Once again, you assume that you know everything about me...which you clearly do not, but of course you forge ahead declaring who will go to hell, who will be saved, and who will not.....you certainly appear to believe you're above everyone else. All your rants towards me have been completely off base. You epitomize the very idea of the judgmental, hate-filled 'Christian' that people are repelled by. Your witness is shameful, and God will judge you by it.

Oh I agree absolutely! And God bless you too!

Theodore Hill Yes, I am a Christian but the difference between you and me is the fact I don't hate nor do I read the Bible and take ever word as the truth. I mean if you believe every word of it then maybe you should practice it as in where it say's that if your neighbor works on the Sabbath he or she should be put to death. Sad that you get hate for others while reading your Bible and shame that you don't really understand the love that the Bible preaches. Just because I don't believe as you do you have to resort in calling names. Just maybe you should sit down and read the Bible and actually understand what it says.

Ignore him, he's proven to be a hateful bigot. I do most definitely agree with all of what you just said. Just because we believe in Christianity a different way, we get called out for not being a "true" Christian, whatever that is. And frankly, I would find it offensive that he's pretty much saying Gays rape children and abuse their lovers, or cheat on them (it's a fairly common stereotype). But reading his past comments, I'm not going to worry about getting offended, because that just gives him a reaction. We all know what bullies like, a reaction.

Theodore Hill If your are a Christian (which I doubt you are especially in God's eyes) as you are judgmental and hateful which is far from being a Christian. If you are such a Bible thumper who believes everything it says then you better go back and read where it says if your neighbor works on the Sabbath (which is a Saturday which I doubt you knew) then you should put him/her to death and if your child strikes you then that child should be put to death and on and on but you ignore them. If I were you I would get to know the real Jesus and stop being a bigot as it makes you look ignorant. You will be judged some day for your hate.

Oh my. I couldn't have said it better! Amen!

***** Then I feel sorry for you if you take every word in the Bible as truth. I am a Christian and have a personal relationship with God but I don't need any bigoted preacher telling me what I have or not have to believe. I mean if you believe everything the Bible say's then when was the last time you went out and stoned to death someone working on the Sabbath and we can go on and on with some of the stupid things the Bible say's. Don't forget that it was transcribed by mortal man and I doubt very much if God told them what to write and how to write it. Now to take this gay thing---you tell me in the Bible where Jesus even mentioned it during His 32 years on earth or are you going to tell me what my local preacher told me before I threw his butt out the door. He said and I quote " Jesus never said anything or mentioned gays because he didn't have time" With that stupid comment he was told to take a hike. What I do find with a lot of self righteous Christians is that it is their way or your going to Hell. I don't believe that for a second. I believe God made gay people as well as straight people and to say their is a choice is pure B.S. No more of a choice then you had a choice of being white, black or brown, or had a choice of the color of your eyes or a choice of being born male or female. It is that simple and for hateful bigots not to see that then they are the one's with a problem.

@Hello Jonathan how are you doing

Hahaha he only did it once which was all that was needed, he quoted God from Gen 2;22-24 in Matt 19:3-5, you can come up with all the lies, subversion, and propaganda you want but the fact is God condemns homosexuality/same-gender sex...You foul half-truth queens James nonsense means nothing to me, you, people, leave out every verse that condemns homosexuality/same-gender sex in your attempt to justify your lie... The love of Jesus preached separation from sin same-gender sex is clearly depicted as a sin Lev 18:22, 20;13, Rom 1;25-28, 1 Cor 11:9-11, 1 Cor 6:9-11, and Rev 21:8-10 you, people, always try to twist his words to fit you lie.. Matt 10;34 Jesus said, Do not think I have come to bring peace, I did not come to bring peace but a sword (cutaway, separate) you need to stop leaving out the verses that condemn homosexuality, take the scales from your eyes and read every verse in the Bible, not just the ones you want to hear 2 Tim 3;4. I have read the entire KJV Bible and I have read the books of Adam and Eve, the books of Enoch, the Book of Jubilee, and the Apocalypse of Peter although they were not added to the canon none of them condemn homosexuality/same-gender sex, however, the book of Enoch says these books will begin to surface as a sign of the coming of the Lord. Your words show how flawed you are, they show your false prophet attempt to undo what God has put together MALE and FEMALE, MAN and WIFE, FATHER and MOTHER, same-gender sex was never God's intent you, people, practice the act on your own volition and demand others agree with your open defiance, you are the ones hateful of God laws against your act and declare yourselves righteous...Your foolish subversion doesn't work on me....😉😉😉😉😉😉

nothing can seperate you from Gods love. religion isnt Christ like. but Jesus loves you bigots any way.

Hahahh you are so lost, you'd better stop fooling yourself sin does separate from God, Isaiah 59:2 but your iniquities have separated you from God;...There many verses that say the same look them up...Jesus did speak against the sin of same-gender sex when he quoted God from Gen 2;22-24 in Matt 19:3-5 Do you not remember he who created them made them MALE and FEMALE, for this reason, a MAN shall leave his FATHER and MOTHER to be with his WIFE. Religion is man-made it is corrupt and imperfect because we are but the word of God is perfect it doesn't need religion it's just the simple truth which you hate because it condemns same-gender sex You are the bigot you hate God's law against same-gender sex and those who accept it you have no idea of what love is nor of what love did for you...😉😉😉😉
