Matt Moore, 'Ex-Gay' Christian Advocate, Exposed On Grindr

STORY HERE


It's too bad, he's very handsome. What a waste for the gays.

An "ex-gay" Christian advocate, who blogs about how religion saved him from a life of homosexual sin, was recently discovered on gay hookup app Grindr. Matt Moore, a blogger for the Christian Post, writes extensively about how Christianity has helped him to turn away from a gay lifestyle. But, apparently it didn't help him quite enough to steer him away from Grindr. Freethought Blogs writer Zinnia Jones, LGBT rights activist and HuffPost GayVoices blogger, was the first to expose Moore's Grindr account on Monday. At first, she questioned if the account could be a fake, but Moore later admitted the Grindr profile was his.


I know, I know. Another one.


When attempting to explain his gay desires, Moore wrote, "I had a yearning in my soul that God had placed there for Himself, but I was perverting that desire and directing it toward people instead of my Creator." Although he "never really thought, 'I want God to cure me of my homosexuality,'" Moore turned to religion for the cure. He says that every day he deals with desires, but claims it is worth the fight "because of the working of the Holy Spirit in my heart, I am able to see clearly that the homosexual feelings I have are a perversion of the gift of sex that God gave mankind."


Sorry man, nothing to cure but the indoctrination you've been put through. Oh, and because of the working of the Holy Spirit in MY heart, I am able to see clearly that the Churchian bigotry and self-hatred I used to have are a perversion of the gift of love and tolerance that God gave mankind."


Jones explains this ideology in her blog post: "So-called 'ex-gays' publicly promote the notion that LGBT people are sinning against a god who will torture them eternally if they fail to suppress and deny their true nature. But privately, they often seem to have trouble practicing what they preach."


You're already torturing yourself eternally if you believe this nonsense. You are wonderful and awesome the way you are. Yes, a cliche, but a much better cliche than "You're going to hell for being the ultimate unforgivable sin of Sodomy". Ninja, please.

Question. If you eliminate the male or female sex from the equation, could humanity or humans continue to exist or will we cease to exist?

Irrelevant. This is not about survival of the species. This is about a man who claims supernatural healing of something that is most likely natural in him, and then getting caught on a major hookup app. It's about hipocrisy, lies and self-hatred for something you can't control. But to answer your question. No it couldn't exist.

Satisfactory answer?

Pray the Gay Away + God (doesn't exist) = Gay

Simple.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New Living Translation (NLT)
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Romans 1:18-27
New Living Translation (NLT)

18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.[a] 19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

It's just a sarcastic, exaggerated, catchy title. Try not to take it literally

"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" (l Corinthians 11:14)

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak”-- 1 Corinthians 14:34

“...that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire” 1 Peter 3 :3

Your first problem is that you are quoting scripture from the NLT Bible. The NLT, NIV, et al... are not the original interpreted manuscripts. Only the KJV is. Before you start getting all preachy on me, get a REAL Bible. Also, you quoting ONE bible verse does nothing, because the context is lost due to the fact that you decided to ignore the verses before and after the verse that you have cherrypicked to use to force your narrative.
