Idk why I am doing this, but this is just my opinion. I think I need to stand for what I believe is right.
Days ago, lumabas ang issue about sa statement ni Manny Pacquiao comparing the LGBT community to animals. In his words, Manny made a mistake, literally. Pero marami ang hindi nakakaintindi sa message ng statements niya. Hindi ako nagmamalinis as a christian, hindi ako perpekto, hindi ko banal, pero gusto ko lang malaman ng iba kung ano ang mensaheng nais sanang iparating ni Manny sa lahat. Again, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
When I was younger, meron akong karelasyon, babae. Yes I admit it, I fell in love with a girl. We lasted for a year and a half. Madami ang hindi tumanggap sa relasyon namin, kahit mga kaibigan namin. Noong una, wala kaming pakialam sa sinasabi nila. Why? Mahal namin ang isaât isa and I believe itâs more than enough. We donât care what others will say/think not until... we encountered God. We were invited to attend church service, and we did. At first, medyo awkward. Ikaw na may karelasyon with the same sex, kasabay mo siya magsimba, nagseserve kayo, pero both of you are committing sin against the Lord? Ironic. Lahat ng churchmates namin, specially our pastor and our cell leader, is against on our relationship. Kinausap nila kami nang maayos, if pwede naming tapusin na ang relasyon namin because after all, this is against the Law of the Lord. Through prayer and faith, we both believe that this is the right thing to do; to end our relationship. Mahirap? Oo. Masakit? Sobra. BUT, as iâve said, THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.Â
My point here is, we commit sins, but God gave us chances to make it right. God loves us, equally, that is true. But God doesnât tolerate sins, He hates it so much. Eto lang ang masasabi ko, kung lumaki ka man na gay or lesbian, itâs okay as long as you live in Godâs presence and not committing sin such as homosexuality. In my case, nakagawa ako ng kasalanan, BEFORE but I believed na pinatawad na Niya ako, and now I am doing what is right. About sa statement ni Manny Pacquiao, he has a point. Why would one marry with the same sex? This is a mortal sin. We should #standforthetruth not just for equality. God only created Adam and Eve, no Steve, no in between. Lawakan natin ang pagiisip natin. Hindi ibig sabihin nito, close-minded kami sa mga ganitong bagay. We donât judge you, I personally donât judge you. I have been in your situation before, so donât tell me I donât feel the same way. I did, before. We have free will, so use it in the right manner. Wag tayong magpadala sa makasalanang mundong ito. When the final judgement comes, dito natin maiintindihan lahat. He who made all things and people on earth, gave life to us, is the only one who has the right to judge us.Â
PS: I have gay friends and I love them.
