On My Sin and Theology

I'm like a hybrid Protestant and Catholic. I get my Old Testament from Baptists, my New Testament from Lutherans, and my Creativity and Aesthetics from Catholics. My aunt was a Catholic, and she taught me the value of beauty (but so did my school, when they brought in paintings to look at). I [...] don't answer to a church authority. I'm kind of like a monk, that I detail a lot of interesting proof the Bible is true. I don't fit well into systems. I'm not a Rogue Priest, as my authority comes from Christ. But, I'm a friend to Catholics and Protestants, and would like the religion to be strong into the future, which I have a feeling if it takes certain directions that's not going to happen. I'm afraid the great falling away will be in my lifetime, and I'm called to preach against sin. Like Christ called Herod a fox, like you said in another sermon, we have to hold our governments accountable for the evil they do. But, we cannot accept LGBTQ as a church. We just cannot. We also have to understand Jesus wasn't necessarily someone who was fascinated with high ritual, or doing everything according to the book. And Christ liked to use insignificant losers like me. Paul was a murderer, so was Moses, David committed three unpardonable sins in the world's eyes, rape, adultery and murder. I mean, the whole world can be against me, but I know God is for me. I didn't do anything like that. But, in the world's eyes I did awful things. Like, I think if there's going to be a Bible verse written about me, it's that my sins were exposed, so the world rejected me, but they were none of them uncommon among men. It's just the flamboyant nature of some of them... it's like, I know what my sins are. I know I sinned. It's just, most people's sins nobody knows about. How much murder is in the average person's heart or adultery? It's just mine could not be hidden.
