Here’s an important message for the LGBTQ community – You are not lovable.
Nobody is lovable but you folks are targeted for information from serpents posing as God’s preachers. Here’s a sample of the serpents’ speaking:
“This book is for every LGBTQI+ individual who fears God can’t love them just the way they are, and for those who simply want a devotional which approaches scripture inclusively.”
For some reason, LGBTQ+ folks are the preferred victims of this lie. Nobody writes books for “every homophobic racist who fears God can’t love them just the way they are…” I don’t know why you are targeted specifically. I do know that it’s not loving to deceive you.
Listen carefully.
You are wise to fear God can’t love you just the way you are. Deep down, you know you’re not very lovable. All that stuff about ‘inner beauty’ and ‘self-love’ is a smoke screen. On a scale of 1 to 10, you’re stretching to rate yourself a ‘3.’ No sane person falls in love with a ‘3.’ You wouldn’t love a ‘3.’ Do you think God’s standards are lower than yours?
God actually does love you BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT not ‘just the way you are.’ God can’t love a ‘3.’ God only loves 10’s. That’s why Jesus was born. He lived the life of a perfect ‘10’ and then sacrificed His perfect life for all the lowly ‘3’s.’ (I was never a ‘3’ by the way. I barely cracked ‘2’ on the lovability scale.) If you want God to love you, let Jesus turn you into a 10.
You should ignore anyone who tells you that God loves you as you are. Don’t buy their books. Don’t listen to their sermons. Don’t believe their lies. Nobody deserves God’s love. We receive God’s love through Christ. Apart from Jesus, we’re are less than 10. Everyone less than perfect will perish.
(Romans 5:7) “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

I think people forget that God is offering us eternity. Nobody is going to spend eternity with anything less than someone approaching a perfect 10.
I was a zero! Unlovable! Then I saw others who were living peaceably reading their Bibles. I tried it and was amazed. Why hadn’t anyone told me answers to questions I struggled to find were right there in black and white. I had only seen pastors read the Bible. The most important answer and most wonderful was that the Creator of the Universe, knew me, the zero unlovable, and He loved me unconditionally. I was still a sinner but I soon learned about Jesus and His willingness to die so that my sins could be forgiven, so that I might begin to know the unconditional love of my Heavenly Father. 51 years later, I’m still learning but He is faithful and His unconditional love is real!
A zero no more. Jesus and I together are a 10.
Dear John,
I just wanted to quickly chime in, as being one that’s lurked here for many a year. I have an amendment to make on your lovability scale.
While you say that you barely “break a 2,” I would like to observe that score to be more accurate at a 1.03-1.04.
This is based on the amount of brash, inane comments posted, adding in a few points for the couple of times you actually made a compelling point, divided by the the many times the Peaches has made post in your name (she always gets you in trouble), finally factored by the coefficient of love, brings your score to 1.03542321.
With this posting my score has now dropped to 0.3754391. Thanks John!!
Numbers don’t lie.
