Yes, there are probably many people who think that the Bible and Church are sexist and homophobic. And I would have to agree that there will be people in the church that make you think, "wow, what a sexist/homophobe" but that is not what the bible says.
In UTT this past week we've studied genesis, the creation of man and women. And after breaking down the chapters and verses, it is clear that women and man are created equally. And even though it seems that God has made man to be "more" he hasn't. We are equally yoked, and do the same things, just differently. God calls us to do and be different but one in the same. So even though it may seem like God has given one or the other more or less, it's important to know that he doesn't, he has made us EQUAL.
The same goes for the homosexual topic. God never once says that he hates homosexuals. Yes, he dose say that it is something you should not partake in, but he doesn't like the act not the people. God says that we should help out brothers and sisters, and we need to turn to our friends who maybe homosexuals and say, "It's ok. I'm there for you. And you know, God doesn't hate you, he might be unhappy with what your doing, but he doesn't hate you."
