Issue #1: Carrying the Rainbow Flag

       School is a whole new world where you are an outsider if you do not accept something. There are "safe" zones where people can speak their mind and all sorts of things like that.
     People say that homosexuality cannot be helped, because they are born into it. Well, of course they are born into it, because it is a sin and all sin is born into us; however, it is true that some people are able to be tempted by certain sins more than others (each person is different). As for it being able to be helped, no. No sin can ever be helped; it will always be there, but if someone is truly wishing for it to go away, they will have help from God to suppress it. There are still going to be failings.
     Now, in the last verse, it says here that these sins are "worthy of death." Some people will argue that Christians would put these people who claim this to death. But that is not the case. Jesus already died for exactly all those sins that are said to be worthy of death; all we need to do is believe in Him and pray with heart, mind, and soul that we wish for forgiveness for our sins and we really, truly need His help to keep us from anything evil. Technically, even hating someone is worthy of death, because it is considered murder in Jesus' eyes. So, please. I ask everyone who falls upon this to think on these words.

     According to this, I did not properly categorize what else is under "the rainbow flag"; therefore, the title is somewhat misleading, although I did not do this intentionally - I well know the difference between transgender and homosexuality and the "others" (they are normally referred to as the LGBTQ community with L being lesbian, G being gay, B being bisexual, T being transgender, and Q - don't ask me what that is, because I don't know).
     God gave us the body we are supposed to be in; He would never give something that will not make us the way we are. Being transgender is more than a sin; it is saying that God did not know what he was doing when He made everyone. In a way, it could be classified as blasphemy.
     As for Bisexual: if someone has a tendency towards it, then they should make sure to suppress it with God's help and go with the opposite gender.

Romans 1: 18 - 32


18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
