Saw a post ranting about liberal Christians and basically saying we're changing our beliefs to fit in with our secular friends and what not and how that's going to blow up in our faces and

Honestly kind of laughing because I was raised Christian, I'm fairly liberal, and none of my beliefs have been 'changed' to fit my friends?? And most of my friends are Christian or were raised Christian anyways. (And in elementary school where that wasn't the case, no one really cared.)

No, I believe different things because I genuinely believe them, thank you. Because I studied the scriptures, prayed, had thoughtful discussion with people of opposing viewpoints, etc. Not due to social pressure. (If anything, despite social pressure.)

At the end of the day people are going to have different beliefs than you whether you like it or not! Most people that disagree with you aren't misguided or bad! And that's just ✨ how it works ✨

#faith #also like the things that most Christians would say are bad are the things that have strengthened my relationship with Christ #'Oh you shouldn't be trans' well I've felt more love searching for that answer than most others #like overwhelming peace in my gender while in a holy place #'gay people are bad' sucks for you then the gay people are my friends #'there is only one correct interpretation of the bible' mhm yeah right go on and think that #I'll just sit over here with my belief in ongoing revelation and personal testimony and how that's helped me grow #honestly the assumption that queer Christians and other less traditional Christians are just misled really grates on me #like you have no idea how long I have spent crying to God and pondering and agonizing over different things #and how much time I've put into developing my beliefs (or 'theology' as a lot of people like to call it)#so stop assuming I'm just 'going along with things' or 'succumbing to the world'#just stop #ALSO a note #I'm not going to argue with anyone on this #I'm not going to defend myself #Just gonna block #So don't try #queerstake #(kinda)
