Studies show that queer people who stay in the church are 30-55% more likely to die by suicide than those who leave.
Let that sink in.
We are MORE likely to die if we go to church on Sunday.
Jesus saves.
Itβs time for his church to stop killing us.
@mattnightingale Jumping on to say sorry for the other people, God loves you and if you are a Christian then how you decide to live your life is between you, God, and your husband, not random trolls on Twitter.
@Personhoodlives Seeing other queer people in active ministry over the past 10 days has honestly given me so much life. It reminds me why I am called to ministry.
@EdwardVersaii My dog ate chocolate chip cookie dough while out on a walk tonight because someone just left it next to the side walk.. we had to make her throw it up and now she doesn't feel well. I love that God is moving but wish the visitors were kinder.
though friends will leave me,
still I will follow
churches deceive me,
still I will follow
your people grieve me,
still I will follow
no turning back,
no turning back
Friends help, I need a positive side b story about a queer person and the church to include in a presentation tomorrow about the experiences of side B queer Christians in thr church. I have 2 negative stories 1 that has both negative and positive and I need 1 just positive.
@petervoorhees @TheGregoryColes I still haven't gotten to read No Longer strangers, I asked for it for Christmas. I read single gay Christian but it's been about 4 years since I've read it so I couldn't remember specifics. Thanks!
Please explain to me what is the difference between "evangelical" and "mainstream" protestant denominations. I have googled it but the same list of denominations show up in both categories and I am confused.
@BriceCollin That's helpful, thanks! (I say mainstream because that is the language my theology paper prompt used. Wasn't sure if there was a difference.)
@hollybishu No, My husband is my husband, I have a female best friend. I think its putting too much on a spouse to have them fulfill both roles. Those are two different roles in someone's life and there is a greater sense of community when 2 diff people fulfill those roles.
