You feel like telling people to accept others who are different than you will make Christians stumble and fall from Christ's teachings?

When do leftists honestly (i,e, when they are not campaigning) do that? They openly promote killing their political opponents.

Talarico is a presbyterian seminarian.

What is that pray tell? Presbyterians are just white people who need a Christian tag for business or politics. I don't believe they actually stand for anything.

You have heard the Truth.

You make a decision how you will lead your life and what influence you will have on others. If you're a Believer and you've steered people towards the Light .....on the day of your last breath you will enter into the presence of the Creator and Judge, Jesus Christ, who will welcome you to eternal Heaven.

On the other, if you steered people towards the darkness, on that last day you will face a just and righteous Judge, Jesus Christ and He will render a verdict on which side of eternity you reside.

This ^^^ is what the Bible teaches.

I can feel your passion to the Word, I really do. I can only wish that you bring this level of energy towards the "Christians" among us who chase and covet earthly wealth over spiritual needs. There are any number of people on the Left or Right I can speak of here so this is not politically targeted.

You can't love what God loves without hating what God hates

The two sources of the bible that mention opposition to homosexuality are Leviticus and Paul. Leviticus also disallows everything from working on the Sabbath to wearing clothing of two different materials, but those never seem to get as much attention from Christians as men laying with me. Paul didn't even want people to get married so we're clearly ok with picking and choosing with his suggestions.

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Some things are excusable like mixed fiber clothing...things of this nature are not. Necessary work like milking cows is not breaking the Sabbath.

Rom 1:32 And some who, knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, are inexcusable, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Paul didn't say not to get married...he did express a personal preference for singleness.

1 Cor 7:6 And now what I speak is by permission, and not by commandment.
1 Cor 7:7 For I would that all men were even as myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
1 Cor 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1 Cor 7:9 But if they cannot abide, let them marry; for it is better to marry than that any should commit sin.

When referencing the OT always keep in mind the Mosaic Law was for the "stiff necked" people....the 12 Tribes of Israel. The New Covenant freed all people from strict adherence to the Mosaic Law.

Jesus said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.

This^^^ New Testament/covenant commandment from Jesus Christ, along with the Ten Commandments is the foundational principles that all Christians are called to observe and live by.

Hard-core socialism is pretty much foundational to the modern Catholic Church. It is cloaked in the mantle of "social justice" and is completely anathema to Jesus' teachings.

You can't pick and choose Leviticus though. .. if you're not Jewish you don't really follow them.
