We called Playboy, Pornhub, and Victoria Secret, misogynistic and exploitive, but OnlyFans is an exception because it's "ethical" and you're "self-employed"...
Stop glamorizing porn. Whether its produced by a man, or a woman, porn is still porn. Porn relies on humiliation, degradation, and exploitation - exploitation of the body, mind, and time of both the viewer and actor(s). Porn was never ethical. The oldest profession in the world, was never created out of respect and ethos for the woman, man, and child. Porn has no exceptions. Because it's not your body, and your choice anymore, it's also the internet's and whoever manages your accounts. # ban porn # remove porn from society # protect our children #protect our women #protect our men
Whatever is of God, there is order and truth. Whatever is not of God, there is chaos and confusion.
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
—1 Corinthians 14:33
1 Peter 2:23-25 NKJV 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
You don’t need approval from others—God has already accepted you.

lately i’ve been seeing a lot of “queer Christian” blogs… and people blending Christianity with things like witchcraft, tarot, or even calling themselves “Christian witches.” and i just… can’t stop thinking about how grieved the heart of God must be. 💔
this isn’t coming from a place of judgment. i’ve been deceived before. i’ve lived in rebellion and called it freedom.
but the truth is: Jesus didn’t die for us so we could stay chained to the very things He came to set us free from.
He said plainly:
“No one can serve two masters.” (Matthew 6:24)
“Friendship with the world is enmity with God.” (James 4:4)
“If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23)
and that includes our desires. all of them.
none of us are exempt from temptation—whether it’s anger, pride, lust, same-sex attraction, or the desire to change our identity.
“Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” (James 1:14)
but temptation is not identity.
Jesus was tempted too—yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)
we’re called to crucify the flesh, not celebrate it.
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:24)
and no—God didn’t “make us gay.”
He made us in His image, fearfully and wonderfully. (Psalm 139:14)
we’re born into a broken world, with broken desires. but that’s why Jesus came—to make us new. not to affirm our brokenness, but to heal it.
the same goes for gender.
God made us male and female—on purpose. (Genesis 1:27)
He doesn’t make mistakes. our bodies are not a problem to solve; they are a gift to steward.
“Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why have you made me like this?’” (Romans 9:20)
you can’t follow Jesus and cling to sin.
you can’t serve Jesus and still serve yourself.
you can’t walk in the light while practicing darkness.
“If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.” (1 John 1:6)
this isn’t hate. this is love that warns.
“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.” (Revelation 3:19)
so if this stirs something in you… maybe ask the Lord:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart… see if there is any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
That would be because it doesn't actually say that
do you really think God made a mistake when he made you? When you look around you and see that there is so much though poured in every single detail? On how no snowflake is the same. On how we were made so carefully and beautifully. Are you truly sure God made a mistake? On something so important as your sex? God takes care of you. He loves you. He sent his son to die for OUR sins. So all of us could be saved and be with him.
So the question really is? Are you a mistake? Or are you doubting who God made you to appear as everybody else.
Everybody talks about how love is good and well and you can love who you want. But nobody talks about the sicknesses that plague that community. The protest may come that it also comes from people who are straight. But only people who lead a disorganized life.
God made love in a way that it's perfect and pure. If he meant for people of the same sex to be together then there wouldn't be any kind of illness to it.
So don't doubt who you are because everybody else is too.
Be so confident in God's plan that you don't even get upset anymore when things don't go your way.
