Hey guys! I just wanted to make an open space where people can ask ANYTHING about the Bible or God and I will try to answer :) 💜

Im religious but sometimes I have a hard time giving my anxiety or stresses to God How do we do that?
@Nicholas51 Im so glad you reached out and asked! Thats the first step! I tend to think of it as he already knows everything you are going through and will not judge you. He gave you your emotions and he knows how to handle them. Think of God as a close friend who is always there. He will never tell anyone and he will listen. He gave you those emotions, he knows how to deal with them. 25 ¶ “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?fn 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 ¶ “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. - Matthew 6:25-34 ESV
Although I know I’m a good person, my queerness complicates my worries about God.
@✨WhimsyGremlin✨ What are your worries? I hope you don’t mind me asking 💜
@✨WhimsyGremlin✨ Oh and im going out so if I don’t answer that’s why
@💜Cinderella💜 Of course I don’t mind you asking, sorry! I don’t necessarily have a religion, but I know many religions claim queer people will be punished for it. I definitely am not claiming that’s your take on the subject, but the idea can spark worry when exploring different religions, and I was wondering to hear your take on the subject (only if you feel comfortable speaking about it) ❤️.
@✨WhimsyGremlin✨ Oh my goodness no! I know that you aren’t claiming that is my view and it’s not!!! If I may ask what (please excuse my bad choice of words 😅) type of queer you are? Oh and I am comfortable talking about it, I have queer friends 😉 but back on point mb. Ok let’s start with my religion, I am Christian. I view being queer as just another trait, like brown hair, im not going to judge you (or anyone) for it. It does go against the Bible’s teachings tho and I do consider it a sin. But we all sin so no one is worse or better than anyone else. I do believe that God created man and woman and nothing more and that is how it is supposed to be. The whole idea is kinda a controversial thing in my mind. I completely love the idea of doing your own thing and being independent and loving whoever you want to but I just think the relationships are just really strong friendships. I have at times thought about it and was thinking “Huh, if this was ok with God i would get together with her.” But then I looked back and realized that even though I am super devoted and loyal to my friends God did not intend for two women to be in a romantic relationship. Nor two men, and that the gender you are born with is your gender no questions asked. But I know that that is only scratching the very surface of the queer community and I am acknowledging that. I hope that nothing I said offended you I tried to word it politely but im bad at this kind of stuff. Just get back with what you think
