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!
