I guess I’m still in the process of finding the right affirming church that works for me. I grew up going to baptist churches and ever since I started embracing myself, I’ve been exploring different churches and trying to be open about things they talk about.

I just feel like most affirming churches make the Bible completely obsolete and call God a woman or whatever. Sometimes I even heard they say all gods are the same and we all pray to the same God. Like they put all gods in a single box and call it a day and this doesn’t feel right at all. No thank you, I’m gonna walk away.

I know very well. Whom I have called for when I was in my lowest. I know Who delivered me from my abusive childhood and gave me a life that I have today. I know Who my God is. I believe in the same God Jesus Christ and I wouldn’t be able to stand if I hear anyone say God is a X or that. Like what authority do we have that we’re worthy to define Who God is?

I think God descended to earth as a Man and was given the Name Jesus through His servant angel Gabriel and we’re supposed to be praying through this Name that is higher above any other Name in the universe.

I’d rather walk away from the affirming church that say anything else and keep my faith to myself and be happy with my personal relationship with God.

Gay life is so hard. Harder even as a gay Christian and I wish God made it just a little bit easier. Sorry for the vent but this is how I feel about UCC churches today.
