🌻The Lightroom with Greta As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly. (Leviticus 25:44-46) You who are slaves must submit to your masters with all respect. Do what they tell you-not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are cruel. For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.(1Peter 2:18-20) I’m sorry to say that your cherry picked quote that doesn’t even mention slavery is less than convincing. God has expressed several times from his own words,from his sons word, or the word of his own book that he is absolutely for slavery and thinks it is just. He also disgustingly tells you and his followers to live a life of pain and do good. Doing good is pretty benevolent but the that he also wants you to live in pain is obviously malicious.

Christopher Nedley You are acting like it was wrong throughout human history. It was only really Christians that decided it was immoral and wrong. Ancient Romans and Greeks alowed and even ENCOURAGED homosexuality! so maybe you are the one that is wrong. And by the way, the brother and sister thing is called incest, And that was discouraged in most eras and still is! As well as there being multiple bad side effects due to birth from incest, While being gay doesn't cause much of anything other than happiness between the many couple that are gay. And unless you can give me a good and scientific reason why it is bad to be gay, you need to stop talking, because nobody needs to hear your lies and illegitame excuses for why you think it's wrong. Otherwise, have a good day.

[@okimlistening2u]

Christopher, Jawann comes from a time period where we knew little or nothing about human sexuality. Their ignorance is the excuse for them. But you, Christopher, come from a time when science, philosophy and theology know about the mistaken understanding of the past. I can assure you as a counselor with a Master's degree in the Humanities and with 30 years of clinical practice, there is no reason to have a negative feeling about sexual orientation of any individual. The dark ages of ignorance are over and we can be free in the truth. Don't continue to hold on to the mistakes of the past that may have been passed on to you by family, religion, or uneducated society. The election of Donald Trump is a perfect example of what happens when people are uninformed. I wish you only good things.........Ray

Black people are disproportionally living in poverty because their ancestors were slaves less than 200 years ago. That’s their great-grandparents. The American government did not offer reparations for their war crime against African-Americans, so of course many are still living in poverty.

She's a narcissist because most grandmothers try to make up with their grandkids for where they have fallen short with their kids. He's so right, no room for haters! Kudos to him.

[@martin-3726]

My 83 year old grandmother accepted me being gay almost instantly and nothing changed in our relationship if you truly love someone unconditionally then nothing they tell you will ever change how you feel about them you may not like it or agree but you get over it because you love them...or is that just me??

[@t1234odd5]

To everyone out there, you can find family outside family. This story really made me so uncomfortable and u pray that people who dont have support at all know that its not the only family you'll have

[@moewilson4605]

I picked out how sad it is that his grandmother seemed to get joy out of his pain, as he stated. Probably the generation. Thankfully, with each generation we become more inclusive and accepting. Just with the internet allowing trolls to have such a loud platform, it feels like we are taking a few steps backward.

[@elenafetter9690]

I dont think its generational. When a person can be seen taking pleasure from another person's suffering that they themselves are in fact causing, that sadistic and abusive. I have seen this. Probably a narcissist. Best thing is get as far away as possible.

I would never treat someone like his grandmother treated him.My favorite cousin came out as gay some years ago.I think that he was surprised at how much love and support he has received from the family.We became very protective of him because he needed that extreme level of support.Family is family regardless of their sexual orientation.

ACTUALLY: Leviticus was used as a group of sort of laws for the Jewish people, and It included laws that banned common pagan rituals, Homosexual intercourse was one of them. Many of these rules are broken by Jews and christians alike today, for example, one of these laws was to cut the sides of your hair, as it was a common pagan worship ritual back in the day. So as long as you aren't Gay as a pagan ritual, the Bible's aight with it, fam.

[@blissfullyunaware4175]

I’m a Christian and I believe that homosexuality, when in a loving, dedicated, faithful and God centered marriage, is perfectly fine in the eyes of the Lord. God condemns Lust, rape, sex slavery, addictions to sex, and disloyalty, not homosexuality. That word was even added into the Bible until MUCH MUCH later! Let’s not forget things such as cultural conventions, the Old Testament law, before Jesus fulfilled it and MANY MANY more factors which come into play. Please, take a second look at some of these verses, objectively and with an open mind. Study the original Greek words which were there before homosexuality was added, study what society was in this time and find reliable resources. You might be surprised what you find! I love and support all of you guys no matter what!
