Opening My Heart

Dear nephew…
Although this entire text ends up revolving around your choice, it is by no means yours: I decided to write it to record my own feelings, to expose and review the foundations of my faith and, should death manifest itself, to leave no doubt about my line of thought and action, something that no government or law in this world can force me to change.
I made a point of leaving small details throughout the text that will, for you and a very few other people, make the authorship of these words obvious, but the vast majority will miss it, because ignorance and laziness, although not considered sins, are also a growing evil in these times: who Teóphilo is or isn't, especially for not seeking fame or recognition… few people actually want to know, and their identity will remain safe.

I've been running away.

I didn't want a party for my birthday, and yes, that's because I consider you a very important person: not forgetting that I love the Lord God above ALL THINGS, you are among the first on my list… and that's why I'm so distressed!
You know my story well and how upright I strive to be: perhaps my father's adultery is the reason I so detest adulterers, and undoubtedly I've heard of many cases... but none that I've witnessed openly, or, as they say, "to my face.".
Robbery?! I feel the most sincere disgust for thieves and, without a doubt, I would like to see them whipped for every cowardly theft they commit; after all, the plot of my brother's murder began with a robbery…
Finally, allow me to quote the Word of God when it clarifies how a Christian should behave in relation to sin:

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth);
Approving what is pleasing to the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Because what they do in secret is shameful even to speak of.

(Ephesians 5:9-12)

Anyone who goes beyond what is taught and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God.
Whoever perseveres in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,
Do not receive him into your house, nor greet him.
For whoever greets him shares in his evil deeds.

(2ⁿᵈ John 1:9-11)

I have already written to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people;
This does not mean at all the debauched people of this world, or the greedy, or the thieves, or the idolaters;
because then you would have to leave the world.
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister,
for sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or a thief;
with that one, do not even eat.
For what business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?
Do you not judge those who are inside?
But God judges those who are outside the church.
Remove, therefore, that wicked man from among you.

(1ˢᵗ Corinthians 5:9-13)

There is no doubt that there is indeed a rather rigid doctrine of separation being ordained for those who wish to obey the Lord God, knowing full well that we can coexist with those "of the world" without participating in their practices, and highlighting those who, deliberately committing sin, insist on presenting themselves as "brothers"...
The more you sound like evangelical And when the name of Jesus is mentioned, I am even more certain that ecclesiastical businesses have failed and become clubs created to please their customers; I am even more certain that we are already advanced in the prophetic time called... apostasy, The more I understand why the Lord Jesus Christ needed a new name… it’s not your fault: you—with all your intelligence, sympathy, shrewdness, spontaneity…—are just a twig swallowed by the force of the tidal wave of the end times—biblically recorded, warned of, and detailed… systematically ignored by the majority of those who call themselves "brothers".

Speaking of my brother, I'd like to mention one of the most significant moments in my life, when I came across my brother's body in a coffin and discovered that there's no point in hugging, kissing, or clinging to a corpse… it was then that I definitively embraced my homosexual identity, that is, I started hugging and kissing everyone — men and women, despite some minor issues — those I love whenever I see them, without fear of what might be said, after all… I don't know if that occasion might be our last meeting on this earth!
There are a dozen virtual brothers and sisters whom I would very much like to embrace while still on this earth, even knowing that our meeting before the Father is certain.
How many times have I hugged you, my dear?

The problem is that the media plays a sordid game with words, and many are no longer able to differentiate between the term "homoaffective" and "homosexual," and without a doubt, they are quite different things: my affectionate hug is not, and never has been, an invitation to bed! My kisses on the cheek have nothing erotic about them…
Moreover, the very word "love" has been distorted, and even a prostitute practicing her profession is described as if she were "making love," which in no way reflects reality!
Certain findings cause outrage, but the Lord God has foreseen everything with precision, preparing us so that we would not be surprised by humanity's behavior from then on... ever more perfectly as in our days:

Claiming to be wise, they became fools.
And they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Therefore God gave them over to shameful lusts. For even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.;
Being gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents; foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless;
Which, knowing God's judgment (Those who practice such things deserve death.), not only do they do them, but also they consent to those who do them.

(Romans 1:22–32)

I doubt you were able to read all of that, because I imagine the diabolical feeling that must have already begun to consume you… that urge to speak, to give a brilliant response, to humiliate anyone who dares to speak against your choice (note: never against you!)… poor Apostle Paul for having written the passage above, right?
I, here, calmly reading and rereading all of this many, many times, would only like to highlight the last sentence of this passage: not only are those who practice such things worthy of death, but even THOSE WHO CONSENT TO THEIR PRACTICE!!
Yes! Unfortunately, modern moms Those who want to overlook their children's sins are incurring the same condemnations as their beloved "babies": with broken hearts, some will die without ever admitting it...
Young people who call themselves Christians and yet don't condemn the sins of their friends?!? They deserve death, without exception…

And the pastors?!
Among these, then, are those who remain silent and, for example, allow some astilbes to whirl among their dancing roses —as if dancing, even without being a sin, could be part of rational worship.— and (feigning love or to avoid losing money) they join worship model initially offered by Nadab and Abihu, or, given the social characteristics of our times, the bland vegetarian offering made by Cain, whose end was the death sentence for Abel and will again be the case for all who decide, without inventions or innovations, simply to fulfill what God has ordained…

Worse than these, if there can be anything worse, are those who openly encourage sinful practices, emulating a scholarship that would revolutionize the Holy Scriptures and open the doors of the kingdom to all who practice acts whose condemnation is inevitable:

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

(1ˢᵗ Corinthians 6:9–10)

All those who practice the acts listed above are excluded from their inheritance in the kingdom of God… and if they are not, who will want the inheritance of a lying God?!?
The point is that the demonic type of pastor who preaches breaking down the gates of the kingdom finds a double reference to himself in the prophecies:

For such false apostles are deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
It is not surprising, then, that his ministers masquerade as ministers of justice;
whose end will be according to their works.

(2ⁿᵈ Corinthians 11:13–15)

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.;
but having itching in his ears,
They will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires;
And they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn to myths.

(2ⁿᵈ Timothy 4:3–4)

Here I feel the need to point out that some of these “doctors” may have started creating their theories simply to scratch their own itch—often in places far more obscene and foul-smelling than their ears—and, given the extent of humanity's degradation, ended up having their aberrations transformed into doctrines and themselves elevated to the status of leaders…
Finally, I was already familiar with the demonic heresies of the "happy stone" long before I knew that he was the one who celebrated his "engagement," man to man...

Conclusion

You claim I'm a role model for your life, but everything indicates I've failed miserably in that regard... and now that you're old enough to stand by your choices, no drastic action will have any effect.
I am exactly the same person who hugged you, who tried to cheer you up, who sang and danced with you, but I am also the priest of my home (actually, two homes, since my old ladies live in the other one) and, as I mentioned at the beginning of the text, I love the Lord God above ALL and ANY other things, without exception!
My heart is broken.
My sadness is so great that I ran away on my birthday, just as I have run away from any gatherings where a pair of men are together and I have to consent to such an act: I have never consented to adulterers, I have never consented to thieves, and, jokes aside, I have always hated liars, so I am recognizing my faults and trying to improve myself every day… in the world and on the street the law obliges me to coexist; in the sacred realm of my home, no one can impose sin without me resisting and trying to preserve traditional biblical standards.

I don't want to hear your answer, I don't want to hear your argument (because socially and legally you may be full of it, but biblically... only distortions that already exist). I analyzed and refuted it. long before you took over and raised that flag) and I'm certainly not angry with you.
Go ahead, without my consent and without our (the family of which I am a priest) presence, because if knowing already breaks my heart, witnessing it would be like the day I saw your uncle in the coffin… and I hope you still respect me (and your aunt… and especially your grandmother!) enough not to want to rub your choice in our faces: in the lives of the relatives who followed the same path, we didn't even have enough contact, but you… you are family… and we (especially me)… we were useless!
The lesson I've learned, as a Christian, is that my role is simply to preach the gospel without mixture or allegory, for I have no power whatsoever… not even to save those I love…

You are a wonderful person.
Your identity has been preserved in this text and I may never even get around to sending it… not that I’m afraid or angry at you, but I simply detest what you… controls and enslaves As much as I hated my father's adultery, and yet, when he needed me, I was there to help him: I'll be here if you need me., But not to argue, much less to be the target of his masterful sarcasm.
We love you. You're an adult, I respect your choices, and I hope you, equally, respect my "retrograde" stance as a biblical Christian and priest of my home.
I apologize for any instances where I may have let you down.
Live happily.
