"Christians are Homophobic"


Hey Family, 

I took a week off because I needed a break LOL. I pray you're doing well wherever you are in life. I also pray you know that what you're doing is significant and that you are essential part of your friend group, family, organization, job, career, and anything else you can think of. 

Just a reminder this blog is called being a young, black, Christian male in 2021. It would be a disservice to all my young Christian readers like myself to not talk about the real controversial topics we face every day. 

I think we can somewhat agree that Christians have borderline been canceled by society. I've been observing Twitter, as always, and one of the biggest points of discussions is that Christians are homophobic.

I'm sure there are some folks out there who are Christians who've treated people apart of the LGBTQ+ with discrimination, hatred, violence, and unjust actions. This is terrible and those people should be held accountable for their actions. 

On the other hand, I believe it is unfair to categorize every Christian as homophobic. After observing conversations on/off Twitter, I've often noticed when someone who's a Christian disagrees with homosexuality, they are instantly labeled homophobic and are canceled. 

I also hear the supporting argument to the cancellation being,"God says you are supposed to love everyone." This statement is very true. Christians should love everyone and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. However, just because someone doesn't agree with someone's sexuality, doesn't mean they don't love you. 

Disagreeing also doesn't give Christians the right to judge, disrespect, label, chastise, harm, or exclude people of the LGBTQ+ community either. 

I wish that everyone in this generation could just have civilized discussions without them ending in hatred of each other. Let's kill the hate with love. Move forward. And progress as a society. 

"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility, regard others as more important than yourselves." Philippians 2:3 AMP

Love,

Hello again.

I'm also corny lol Since I was young, I've always felt I've had a connection with God. I remember seeing the older kids cry in church while the pastor preached. I couldn't understand why they cried, but I knew it was an experience that I wanted to share.  As I grew older, specifically within the past few years of college, I've became more open about my Christianity. I enjoy reading my Bible and sharing what I've learned with others who are willing to listen.  God has been so active in my life. I literally would not be the man I am today if it wasn't for Him. He's helped me overcome depression, learn to love myself, and be the man He's called me to be. In a current society that deeply encourages people to be their true and authentic selves, say whatever they want on Twitter, and share opinions, I quickly found out that Christianity was the "unpopular opinion." That's a Twitter reference lol.... I want to give this topic the attention it ...

Who's really on my team?

Who's in your circle?  I believe this is a question that people always ask, but never take the time to actually evaluate. Who's really on your team???  We often create these vivid images in our minds of the groups we want to be apart of, the names we want to be associated with, the people we want to work with,  or even what an ideal friend would look like without considering who we currently have in our lives.  Some of us strive intensely to find these relationships that we neglect the ones we currently have. We don't view the people who ARE in our lives as valuable, when sometimes, those are the people who genuinely support you.  I don't know where I'd be without my girlfriend, my parents, my brother, my cousins, and my close friends. Those are the people who help me succeed and keep me motivated to be the best version of me that I can be. THEY are my network. THEY are the people who will fight for me. THEY are the people who will advocate for me. THEY are the ...

Yup, you need this one. Open for a surprise.

I don't have much to say this week. However,  it's so important to remember that you aren't perfect. You're going to make mistakes no matter how hard you try. It's ok, you're human. Stop being so hard on yourself. Growth is a process that you should embrace not dread. Keep growing, I'm proud of you.  Love,  CQ
