My parents are unaccepting of my relationship with my girlfriend (wlw), saying it's temptation, going against God's will, and that I've already been attacked by the devil. I've tried telling them it's not like my relationship with her is affecting my faith, impacting my relationship with God or even my academics in general - but they've completely disregarded what I said. It almost feels like everything I feel and say are just supposed to be wrong and what they think is right.
It's so embarassing when I saw them on their phone SEARCHING UP bible verses (like you know - those verses about homosexuality) and saying it out loud in front of me. Mind you, I've never seen my father pick up a bible ever in my life, that's why I'm saying him searching up instead of actually reading the bible is like purely embarassing to me. Actually, he searched it up in like ChatGPT and it made me feel even worse. He got so mad when I mentioned about the different translations in the bible and he said that was bullshit lol. I didn't bother to tell him anything more because he doesn't really care about what I have to say. They put more emphasis on the concept of reproduction which only happens between a male and female, like what does that have to do with me at least in present time? They said my understanding of the bible was "generic" when it came to the view of love.
Is it really a sin to love...? 😅 I'm not even asking for their support anymore even when I needed it, I just now want them to let me live my own life and make my own decisions without having to constantly bring up religion into it to make me feel bad. No matter what they do or how they try to separate me from her, it won't really work on me lol. They're planning to make me move unis, head back to my home country separated from her yada yada, AND telling me to keep praying and read the bible as if I don't already do that...? and I don't see them read the bible themselves.
So, is this really a sin?
