@pastorpauldrees: A bunch of caveats: there are times where someone is threatening tangible harm to others, and that is certainly a time where they can be cast out (Matthew 18:15-20). However, I often see that being invoked to cast out people who are theologically inconvenient, which is profoundly sinful. We are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and lift one another up. It’s a messy boundary, certainly, but one that Christians are called to walk with love. #progressiveclergy #pastorpauldrees #Lutheran #ELCA

In the words of pope Francis, “I hope hell is empty.” That’s how much I forgive, and truly what I believe is the message of Christ

it's kinda crazy to me that me, an atheist, is closer to God than many Christians. I agree with his teachings, just not most of his followers

Growing up Mormon is making my head spin listening to you speak. I'm an atheist bordering on antitheist but youre what Christians should be.

I understand what you're saying, but how could Jesus physically kill those people?When he's being hung on a cross , you're making it sound like he has actual ability as opposed to miracles

People love to misconstrued loving as enabling. Really loving someone is also holding them accountable so yes you can love a murderer and still want justice against his crime.

so I have a serious question that Im not sure how to answer. so I do belive that you can be gay but still love and follow God, but there are passages even in the new testament that specifically mention homosexuality. while I do think a lot of the Bible can be interpreted in certain ways, thats one that seems to specific for me to see in a different way. its difficult because despite seeing that, I still dont believe it's evil to be gay...anyone have thoughts on that? I cant just pick and choose certain views from the Bible to follow as long as they follow my own narrative, I feel like thats arrogant of me. and I feel like I shouldnt cherry pick my own interpretations to fit my own beliefs, otherwise I'm not actually following God, I'm just following myself

if this is the case, why do you think it's only recently that Christians have started to respect queer people in any way? would you say that Thomas Aquinas has a weak theology? or like...most Christians throughout history up uptil recently?

even if queerness was a sin, how are you supposed to "cleanse" the sin if you constantly push sinners away from religious spaces? also aren't we ALL born sinful? by that logic none of us belong in church
