Living in Lies, Surrounded by Liars!

Some Church are full of liars. It is about how you want to live and survive in it. The fact that the power within a Church is pure peer pressure. Should I be the person who let the liar continue to influence the young minds? No! For sure.

I attended a talk about LGBT in a traditional church, where the speaker spread lies to the younger generations. I was so furious that I choose to use open confrontation tactics to counter the speaker. Of course I have thought about whether to become the nice person or the bad person, I chose to grab attention!

My audiences are the youngster, not the speaker! There is no point to correct the speaker and left the youngsters received the wrong information. This is the scenario. Should I keep quiet until the end of the talk and go talk to the speaker personally about her misleading information? Or should I grab the attention of all the youngster and have that final opportunity to gather them to listen to my point even though they might not have good impression on me anymore?

That’s the main question. I don’t want to let the youngster go back with wrong information planted in their minds. I want them to have doubts, to investigate it by themselves, to discover the truth. Not to blindly download the information from the speaker.

A lot of times, it is the pressure of the society that imposed fear on LGBT. One may choose to stay in the closet and remain in celibacy just because the work place and the church community against the concept. It is purely an act of pleasing people, not God. The feeling of guilty being LGBT, were imposed by those people who are close and being nice, but failed to understand the scripture.

Therefore, the heterosexual, homophobic church members are the ones who need more education. Some of them not even understand the scripture at all. When they able to pick and quote the particular scripture as against LGBT, they unable to pick and quote other scripture to explain about love and equality. Therefore, it is clear that those church leaders had been trained particularly to oppose the concept of love, and they were so shallow in the knowledge of the Bible. They follow blindly on what they receive the information from, without further investigate the truth of it. They willing to spread false witness against other churches and condemn others without evidence and truth.

We need to change! They are not true Christians!
