Being against sin doesn't make one a bigot.

r/DankChristianMemes is open and affirming to LGBTQIA+ people.

Someone identifying as LGBTQIA+ does not cause harm to anyone, therefore, there is no reason to judge or disrespect them.

Rule #1 of r/DankChristianMemes: Thou shalt respect others! Do not come here to point out sin or condemn people. Do not say "hate the sin love the sinner" or any other sayings people use when trying to use faith to justify hate. Alternatively, if you come here to insult religion, you will also be removed.

This rule is based off the following teachings from Jesus Christ:

Matthew 7:1-6
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Also Read:
Luke 6:36
John 13:34-35
John 15:12-13
Matthew 7:12
Matthew 22:37-40

Even if we think someone is a sinner, we should treat them kindly. Jesus was kind to those that society deemed to be sinners. He even ate meals with sinners despite being criticized for it (Matthew 9:11-13). So if you want to be Christlike, you should take someone to dinner before your judge them.

Hey that's cool I guess, but no one said anything hateful or disrespectful so maybe a little overkill there. But if and when someone does say something hateful, I will absolutely let you know.

That being said; personally I feel like using the entirety of scripture and not just the pieces of it that make me feel good or warm and fuzzy inside isn't being my truest self. I feel much more affirming to my honest self when I follow all of the scriptures, and the Lord Jesus' teachings about repentance from sin and the warnings the Lord gives about what will happen to those who call right wrong and wrong right:

-Ezekiel 18:32
-Proverbs 28:13
-Matthew 3:18
-Mark 1:15
-Luke 5:32, and 13:3 and 17:3-4
-Acts 2:38
-Isaiah 5:20

(look, some of those verse are even from the same exact books you just quoted to me. So I know that you'll love them and follow them as you expect me to follow them)

Remember: 1 Timothy 4:12 says you cannot despise me for following my truth.

All the bible versus I cited above are quotes for Jesus Christ Himself.
Your argument is with Him, not with us.

And who do you think inspired the writers of the verses I quoted?
