Today the majority of the anti-gay conservatives who are spreading as well as exporting homophobia in their country and to other countries call themselves Evangelical Christians. Their belief doesnt end on the point that marriage is between a man and a woman, but they believe that Gay people are sinners who are doomed to be burnt in hell for eternity. They do not allow for any protection for LGBT rights or any rights of them to have a family. If asked for their reasons, They cite verses from Leviticus, Romans and Corinthians that seems to condemn gay people, when the clobber passages are read allowed.
Truth is that, even though the Bible is almost silent on gay people, it says very little against gay people or same sex love. Whether its the vengeful story of Sodom and Gomorrah, or the ancient jewish codes of Leviticus or the New Testament- gay sex is rarely spoken against in these verses. In Sodom and Gomorrah, the incident of INHOSPITALITY , ADULTERY AND GREED as was written in Ezekiel, was later re-interpreted as evidence that God hates gays. The Book of Leviticus that states twice that gay people are sinners and should be put to death. Even though in hebrew the passage appears something else completely, This verse was too mis-interpreted as a verse against gay people. Fundamentalists have attached anti-gay lies with these verses, changing the meaning of these passages completing and filling them with hatred and as a Divine message that approves segregation.
Unfortunately, these hypocrites are completely unknown of the truth of the law give to Christians by Christ, not only manage to destroy the world with their hate but they destroy the very fiber of Christianity. A belief that stood only for compassion and love, now turned as a way to persecute innocent lives by entangling them in false accusations and making them look like sinners by the true pharisees.
Romans 13:10- "Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."- Suffice to say, that LOVE is the law of Christ. There is no greater commandment in the Bible by Christ other than love. So, if 2 people are sharing this love, should their love be rejected only for the fact that they are of the same sex? Matthew 7:1- “Do not judge, or you too will be judged."- A verse said by Christ himself reads that we have sinned just like the rest. So who are we to condemn others to hell? Unless and until you have the keys to the pearly gates, You should never tell anyone who can go in and who cant.
