I know that I may suffer as I seek to fulfill my calling, because for thousands of years, people having been misinterpreting scripture to say that same-sex relationships are an “abomination to God,” thereby letting their itching ears lead them to seek out teachers who tell them what they want to hear; but I will remain faithful to my calling nevertheless, knowing that at the final judgment, I will be vindicated by the Christ who is saving me, and those who have wrongly condemned me and others like me will be called to account.
