Has anyone ever found a way to reconsile being Gay/Bi/Lesbien and being a Christian?

Again they very much all apply IF my righteousness was based off of the law. As it is (for all bible believing Christians) our 'righteousness' is based off of grace, apart from the law. Where the Christian faith is stilled tied to the ot law, is that the atonement that provides the grace we all share, is an orginal caveat that the OT law allows for.

In other words, the law sets a nearly impossible standard, then Christ comes along raises that standard to include sin to cover your very thoughts, so no one can claim righteousness through the law. Fortunately in that law we have a way to atone for the sin/violations we commit. In the OT the law did this through the blood sacrifice of animals. In the NT Christ was that sacrifice that nullified sins. Thus separating righteousness and the law. In the Old Testament righteousness could only be found through trying to up hold the law, and what ever sins you committed we're covered by the blood of animals. In the New Testament Christ makes the ultimate sacerfice that takes the way the sins of the whole world. Freeing us for having to strictly live by the law given to Moses.

If we love God with all of our being and accept the sacerfice Christ made on the cross, and forgive others as Christ forgives us, our sins will be forgiven making us righteous and blameless before God.

Well, this actually raises an interesting question I hadn't thought of until now: you're not required to follow the ot laws to get into heaven, I get that. But are the laws of the old testament still holy? Perhaps they aren't instructions to you specifically, but at one time they were things one did to get into god's good books, right? Has that changed? Because logically, doing those things now, when you still have grace, should only impress your lord more, right?
