There... those words are the key for any real apololgy from a Christian.
The original language, which most modern bibles are based, does not say the same thing as those modern text.
Many things in the writen word have been twisted and taken out of context.
I am gay, transgender, and a Christian. I have studied the orginal text which the bible was based on. I know for myself, what it says. Not what someone else said, or told me about it.
and... I feel like I have just put a 'bulls eye' on my back for someone/anyone who has an ax to grind against Christians. Everytime a person lumps people into stereotypical groups.... the truth gets lost.
If you are really an open minded and accepting human, you will say, "That person has a twisted sense of faith." or "That particular organization, is messed up." and not lump ALL Christians into the same pile of flith.
When people react to stereotype, or exclusively their own personal experience.
The whole truth/ big picture gets ignored.
