For all Bible and religious believers out there, it is important to know that Jesus never said one word against gay or any other label of LGBTIQQ people. If Jesus had anything to say about this segment of humanity, he would have. It certainly would have been recorded, but you will not find it anywhere in his teaching.
Why?
Jesus did not teach one word against gay, lesbian, homosexual, bi-sexual, pan-sexual, or any other myopic negative stereotypical view of humanity unlike your own.
Jesus did teach to treat other people the way you want to be treated. It is known as the Golden Rule in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31. Are you doing that?
Yes, one word was spoken against homosexuality in Leviticus, chapter 20. Let’s discuss this.
Jesus did explain this in The Second Revelation of James on page 336 of The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin Meyer.
Jesus said, “Your father is not my Father, but my Father has become a father to you.”
What?
You haven’t read that yet?
Why not?
Have you handed over the power of your free will allowing other people to tell you what you can and cannot read under some kind of threat to you and your immortal Soul?
It is time to wake up. You are an adult. It is time to grow up. You are no longer in the sandbox of childhood anymore.
I wrote about this in my INTERNATIONAL IMPACT AWARD winning book series IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, and NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM.
This book tells if you have been conned by a cult, even a political, religious or social cult and how to get out:

I give personal examples in the second book in this award-winning trilogy in MY RED BAG OF COURAGE. It is now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and soon on Google Play Books in all versions, Kindle and eBook, paperback and hardcover.
I continue this series reminding humanity how to regain your personal power by examining examples of Limitless Living Light within the Angel, Mineral, Plan, and Animal Kingdoms as seen below.
Notice that the rose does not revolt against the geranium, nor does the Jade revolt against the Clear Quartz gemstones. They are all part of Creation, however it started. So are all people, as unique as each God-given beautiful snowflake, not to be confused by certain segments of humanity now opting to take something beautiful and turning it into something derogatory for self-inflated and judgmental purposes.
Just because both religious and political powers hid important knowledge from you for eons does not mean that the only thing to know are the childish versions of history they wish to pontificate. Jesus taught more for you to know than only 3 years from his ages 30 to 33.
Jesus explains in these writings that His Father of Love and Light decided to adopt wayward humanity who was only partly created by Sparks of this same Love and Light. Jesus truly is the Savior of humanity of every religion, not only mis-guided Christians. If you claim to be Christian, then read everything that Jesus said, not only what some denominations teach.
What is the tip off of cult-like indoctrnation?
Indoctrination begins with denouncing every other word Jesus taught other than his famous 3 years of preaching and teaching. Censorship, book banning, and all forms of hiding information from you are the clues.
Jesus said to “Keep seeking.” There is a reason for this. It is the same reason he was crucified. If you do not allow yourself to read or even hear something different other than that with which you have been indoctrinated, the pearls of wisdom coming straight out of the mouth of Jesus will slide right off your indoctrinated ego.
There is a much deeper reason for the depravity found on Earth and concentrated more in some human beings than in others. However, Jesus loves us all and truly shows us the way. “The Way” taught by Jesus is through non-judgment, and non-violence as he dramatically showed by his example when Peter cut off the ear of the Roman Centurian and Jesus healed him, as well as at the crucifixion of Jesus.
The Way involves Love with no conditions. Anything that is not Love can be dissolved by this Love, but only if we all DECIDE to love, and not fall into the negative and sometimes attractive trap of ruthless treatment of others, sparked by the less than Loving “god” of all negative energies. All that they are is the lack of Love. You will know them by their fruits, their lives, and their decisions.
You have the ability to be the fulcrum, the turning point from not love, to LOVE. It is a decision you make. It is the Love you share for all your neighbors regardless of if they look like you or believe the way you do or were created different from you in any way.
Every human being is made with a God-given Spirit/Soul, which is a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. No human being can claim to know more than God about the creation of any human being. That would be a fool’s errand.
Equality has no gender. It is something we are born with. No one in this world gives anyone else equality. Equality is God-given because we are made in the image and likeness of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy, what some call God, regardless of belief system. Social systems in every corner of the world that have usurped personal and social power through both just and unjust means are not the end of the journey of social consciousness.
The value of a person does not depend on someone else’s opinion. The value of a person is within the person, something no one else can know. We can get glimpses of what makes a person tick by listening to their words and getting a better understanding by the actions they take. Still, the onus, the value of who the individual is, in totality, belongs to the individual.
Let us not forget that Spirit, that Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy that fuels each human Soul, exists within each and every person, not on the conditions one person places upon another. We have free will to wake up to this fact, or to deny this fact, but personal opinions have little bearing on the life of the Spirit/Soul within each one. It is the animating force of the individual life, without which we cease to be.
“What is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him?” Psalm 144:3 New American Standard Bible
Yes, Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiences through all of us. How we choose to weave the tapestry of our lives is wonderous. No one needs anyone else’s permission to live their life the best way they see fit.
Who individuals are in their unique presentation of themselves is no reason for others to drum up drama regarding their own ignorant opinions. More education is required in this life. Personal growth and development is part of that.
Social growth and development is equally important for the success of society, otherwise social growth leans on the flimsy and dysfunctional foundation of racism, xenophobia, and a host of other hate issues.
Gender is not a religious agenda item. All counseling issues do not find their remedies in arcane remedies known to mankind many thousands of years ago. Healing the conscience of society requires up-to-date knowledge based on human wellness rather than misinformation.
It will be a glorious day when all of humanity reaches higher understanding of unity where labeling people one way or another will be seen as harmful. I foresee the day when it will be unnecessary for census forms to label whether people are male, female, Caucasian, black, Latino, or any other variety of humanity, including gay, straight, gender fluid, bisexual, transgender, or every other classification of personhood. Employment opportunities will not be able to hold prejudices against new hires, nor will the bigoted opinions of others hold others back. It will not be any reason for discussion, because the worth of the person depends on their own achievements, as opposed to hollow opinions.
All societies are working towards the betterment of humanity, whether covert or out in full view of the eyes of the world. Trying to hold humanity down to the level of corrupt, racist, and powerful tyrants results with the same ending as the beachball being submerged underwater. It is only a matter of time that the beachball resurfaces to the top with the force and truth of what is taking place. Denying reality only works for so long. Oppression of people only works for so long. Truth always finds a way no matter how long it takes.
Stay true to who you are. You cannot do otherwise. All humanity is working on themselves in one way or another, through continuing education, creative endeavors, meaningful relationships, rewarding employment, positive social action, and sharing life with others.
God Bless Everyone Everywhere
