Follow up on feminism. One of the reasons Jesus was persecuted was because he raised up women in his church. He even appeared to women when he rose from the dead. This was at a time when women weren’t trusted with relaying this kind of information.

Follow up on homosexuality. The topic of homosexuality appears a handful of times in the Bible. If your main focus as a Christian is to hate on the gay community, you’ve missed the forest for the trees.
Again, I believe it is sinful, but it’s not what the entire Bible is about.
Thx for sharing. It’s true Jesus honored women in His ministry, but that doesn’t change God’s design that men lead with loving authority and women nurture and support their families. We must call out all sin…homosexuality, lust, and premarital sex because God’s standards are clear, but always with grace for the sinner. While we recognize the good morals in other religions, Jesus alone is the way to salvation. Pride comes when we forget humility and grace, not from standing firm in the gospel. Weak church leadership has caused confusion, so we all need to speak up and hold to Scripture with courage and love.
