I listened to Lupe's whole interview with John D and I was in tears more than once. It isn't hard to see whose example cultivated the strength and beauty in David. ❤
When I watched David's new music video tears were running down my cheeks. GOD IS LOVE ❤ and He would NEVER turn loving people like David and His mom away. It was judgmental humans that put Jesus on the cross.
I sure hope this church's leadership wakes up, throws out the fear and mis-understanding about these segments of our society, then finally accepts ALL of them the way Jesus accepted ALL people!
You and David are so loved by God. God loves all of his children. Thank you for being so supportive of David and the LBGQ community. Love to you both ❤️ ❤
@@Rin22730mortal sin? Last I checked homosexuality is NOT part of the 7 deadly sins….ohhh I see what you’re doing, you’re finally bringing light to what catholic priests do to children?
@@chris_wizzudz because bodily mutilation is a sin, just like homosexual activity. We all have thoughts we ought not act on. In this ever degrading world we must better protect our kids from sin and teach them that God is good and that Jesus is the way.
No it’s not. She’s leading him to eternal hell when she knows the truth. What she said is “Christian beliefs” is false. We accept every single human being, but we do not accept living a sinful life. It’s sexual immorality. It is lust and that’s it. I love my friends but I don’t have sex w them. And they are sexual desires and are evil. They destroy men.
As a mother, I am so sorry you do not feel that unconditional love from your mother. Is somebody who also left the church after being asked to not bring my 18-year-old son anymore after he came out , it can be really hard. I had no idea how hard stepping away from the church would be, but I hope you feel that love from your mother one day. But as hard as it is, I hope that you can see your value. Be the most amazing person that you can be. Be that loving example that you were not given.
David, your mom is absolutely beautiful inside and out her soul is just amazing. God’s blessing her and God’s blessing you. I pray the same thing you prayed. I asked God either kill me or take the gayness away. He sent me an angel when I was 13 and I told Angel I was going to commit to the side and the angels said I have two visions for you first vision I saw was me marrying the man and married to, want to see vision I was too scared to see it so I asked God to let me be who I am and love me for who I am and he has. You are going to be so happy when you let all loose of all those things stopping David from being David. You were loved and very much appreciated. We have loved you since the first time we saw you saying I pray for you every night and your family. 🙏❤️
My cousin was born with MS. She never walked, and life was tough. Just because you’re born a certain way, it doesn’t mean it controls your life. It might your cross to bear. My cousin earned a doctorate in psychology and provided counseling to other handicapped people.
Absolute blessing to have such strong and loving family support! My mother has always been my biggest supporter and I love her dearly for always having my back. I always kept my dad at arms length because I didn’t feel he would be able to be as supportive. Because of that fear I initially thought of leaving my dad out of my wedding and ceremony plans. My mom convinced me to reconsider and in the end I included my dad in everything related to our wedding and ceremony! Basically decided to go big or go home! On our wedding day my dad did more to support and love us than I could have ever imagined! He participated in just about every detail of our special day. He set up, he prepared tables, chairs, linens, decorations, along with my mom he prayed during our ceremony, he partied, danced, and toasted us with more emotion and genuine love than I’ve ever seen him express before! I’ll never forget everything he did and gave us on that day. His support has remained intact and strong, not wavering in the slightest. ❤
So powerful..."God is not here, because God is Love". How many times I was sitting in the church that God is not manifested because "love the sinners hate the sin" BS is going on. God's Kingdom happens every time when we show love and compassion. It does not happen when we worship God but not love our neighbors.
I wish I could send this to my younger self who was deconstructing from Christianity. Perfectly describes everything I needed to hear from the people around me. Thank you for making this. Gonna be replaying it for a while ❤
They are fearful and ignorant, thus not accepting of gays- unlike Jesus. It's very sad. They need to wake up and be accepting of ALL. They are losing members like crazy.
My son is gay and I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. God would NEVER make me choose between my son or the church. I can love both equally. I am sad for David’s mom that she feels that she had to choose. That is not the way that God or the church works! God is love. The church is love. I still love and support my son fiercely!!
God is love. This is what I’ve always believed too. What she says there rings so true. I’m so happy someone is speaking in this from the Mormon community.
.Thaks! it made us reflect on how important it is to be responsible in the use of the gift of agency that God has given us and that if we approach Him, with all our hearts, Jesus Christ will bless us with peace and love so that instead of moving away from His goodness and mercy, rather, we will be closer to Him
If you’re LGBTQ and reading this, please know that the choices are NOT either stay in church and pray the gay away or leave it.. that’s not a biblical church
I am so happy you left that cult. No one should have to live such rigid lives full of hate. You should be able to live your life how you wish. Not allowing yourself to be happy because a made up religion told you what to do
God loves me. God loves my son. I love him and I don't care if he dressed up like barny or anything else. That's my baby. And if it's now my daughter....well then that's my daughter. I've made so many mistakes that go against the norms of society. I can't believe anyone else could judge him. I love him and I always will.
God is love. Paul prayed many times to have his "thorn in the flesh" removed. His loving Father in Heaven gave him the following answer 2 Cor 12:9. Paul went on to inspire billions and write 1/3 of the New Testament, despite his suffering in the flesh.
Yo pienso que si él oraba por eso, él tenía un problema, porque yo creo en dios y nunca he orado por eso y nunca lo haría… porque tanto rollo con una iglesia??? Viva y sea feliz, punto
If you follow the Bible anyone who has an attraction to the same sex should abstain. I don’t happen to care one way or the other, but whatever you believe in you should follow wholeheartedly and not try to change the institution you would like to “fit” into because it doesn’t agree with your beliefs. Clubs and organizations all have rules, so if you don’t fit in find one you do fit in to.
It’s both of your choice dear but God never closes doors.. God is our God not the people around not definitely the people in the church, it’s just that you chose to base your faith with what the people around .. light of Christ is with Jesus Christ He is the source , I know you’re just going through with much others side force and God is mindful of that and of you
Así es. La iglesia no es lo que dice ser. Ademas, lo que pasa en los templos no es normal. Y lo que pasaba allí adentro antes de 1990, era muy disturbador.
Good for you !!! Now move on and stop talking about the LDS Church and profiting like many others. We are all loved by GOD and you don’t need to be where you think you don’t belong. Move on. ❤
And your purpose is to censor any member of your church and you need to move on and leave the ex-members of your church alone. They need to recover from the brain washing they endured as members and if sharing their stories bothers you, good!
I don’t agree with Lupe. Kind of prejudice actually. How does she know who may be LGBT there, but are striving to keep their covenants with God. People don’t show up to church with labels on their foreheads . And it’s not the church’s fault if LGBT people don’t want to come to church. We may have different values than them but they’re always welcome.
@@robs.4345I already do every Sunday as a part of my calling as a ward missionary. I would love to recruit her & David back. Funny you & your community always acquaint love for hate. Because we don’t believe like you guys that we are hateful people. There could be an LGBT member of the church in her ward & she wouldn’t even know it. I don’t sit in church looking around thinking I wonder if there’s only “perfect LDS people” in the congregation. I hope there is someone new whether they’re gay or a catholic or an evangelical Christian coming to just check things out for their first time. I think you’re being a little too judgmental of who you think we are as members of the church of Jesus Christ.
@@charlesprice242 thank you for your reply. I don’t know what part of the community you think I belong to, but that’s you judging. I’m just saying people have a right to leave a church if they want to. It doesn’t mean they’ve separated their relationship from God if you think you’re finding God in the pews at church or temple, you’re wrong.
Very sad she doesn't understand Christ's heart.You wouldn't obviously see LGBT people in Church, just like you wouldn't be able to tell an adulterer, a thief or a liar by sight you just wouldn't be able to tell. Everyone belongs but we all need to come to Christ and let God change us . She sadly has missed the whole point of coming to Christ.
When you look at scripture, God doesn’t approve of LGBTQ. He calls it a sin. Practicing these wrongdoings will hinder you from a relationship with God and will keep you from inheriting the kingdom of God. Look at the scriptures: - 1st Timothy Chapter 1 - Romans Chapter 1 - 1st Corinthians Chapter 6 God loves you and he wants you to turn away and repent from these sinful things. Run to God and build a relationship with him.
God doesn't approve of a lot of things. But never does God give you as a human to judge others. It's God's job to judge. Not yours. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Do you love your sins? Do you deny all sins? Unless you are Jesus you are sinful.
@@StephenieEdwards-fd3tl I never claimed to be sinless. I simply gave what the Bible says about topics like LGBTQ. And that is what the Bible says, that if you practice those wrongdoings you will not enter the Kingdom of God. Who are we to go against what the Bible says? I never judged or bashed anyone. Yes, that is God’s job. Her interpretation of God’s love wasn’t true. God doesn’t accept LGBTQ. LGBTQ isn’t true love and I didn’t want her to have a misinterpretation of God’s love. God loves the soul of the person not the sin of the person. And yes, I’m a sinner just like everyone else.
The Bible was written by Bronze Age humans. Not god. It showcases a very jealous, petty, and imperfect god not very worthy of worship in my opinion. A god that condones slavery, rape, and genocide, but has a problem with two men or two women loving each other is a warped and pathetic being who frankly doesn’t exist but if he did certainly doesn’t deserve our fealty or adoration.
Trying to comprehend God with our small brains , is hard , that’s why we trust him , and trust his church on earth, imagine trying to comprehend the laws of every country, that’s why we live the commandments and trust God , not just do your thing and live like nothing will happen
You get to decide! Either GOD is your God or you are your God. I was raised a Christian, but there were times when I struggled with many issues. I realised that my relationship with GOD is personal. I decided that if there is a GOD who loved me and wanted to know me; 1 I wanted to know HIM. 2 HE was the boss, and it had to be HIS way or the highway. 3 HE would be my GOD, and I would be HIS obedient, submitted child. 4 I would change my will to line up with HIS will. 5 I needed to know what HIS will was. So I asked HIM, and HE told me, And HE helps me to live a life that pleases HIM rather than myself. That's what having a GOD is all about. So either GOD is your God or you are your God. You get to decide. JESUS is my best friend, and HIS the best, bestie in the world. HE will answer when you call HIS name.😊
If I may ask, How many genders do we have? I guess male & female. Just because you feel a certain way doesn't make it right. For God will not lower his standards to fit into yours. It's a challenge, it's a weakness & you have to fight it & overcome. This might be how God wants to test and see how strong you will be🤙
you have two sex-es, not genders. and even here there are some (rare) exceptions. genders, sexual orientation and so on are not always the same as biological 'sex'.
Let’s call a sin. A. Sin……. all sexual acts outside of marriage is sinful no matter what you say no matter if it’s David Archuleta or anyone else… homosexuality is not wrong. It’s the sexual acts itself that is wrong.
Thats kinda sad to have to choose your child over your creator its not your journey you can love him but still not agree with his lifestyle. In my eyes she gave up on him by turning her back on god the demons have him and you just fold. I will never turn my back on my creator i have 4 kids all straight because they fear and love god sometimes u have to fight for your soul and defeat the evil. We will not be left behind.ill pray for you and your son to keep trying god never gave up on you how can u so easily walk away for him, your son may not be praying whole heartly he may only be doing it for u, this is how the evil will turn ppl away from god by useing your kids dont give up on him. God always has a plan and im pretty sure its not for u to turn your back on him. Trust me i love my children but i will not go down with them as much as it hurts it will hurt alot more going to hell and watching them rip your child apart over and over sometimes u have to let them go so they can find their way back to the light be the light in the darkness for him.
Your kids aren't "not gay" because of what you taught them or your idea of God... If they're straight, it's because they're straight... When there is so much wrong, and so much that has changed in the church (for example: Book of Abraham, Revelation about children of a parent in a gay marriage - oh wait, it changed again - so policy, how was the Book of Mormon translated, polygamy, Blacks are the seen of Cain - oh but not after 1978 etc... So, you can leave the club and not lose your connection with God. I love how members of the church complain if an ex-member speaks against the church and they cry about how they can't just leave and leave the church alone; when your comments and the many above are by those same people condemning and saying they need to come back... I am really sad that you don't have unconditional love for your kids, but for a church that places so many conditions and constantly changes and rewrites their history and doctrine.
What’s sad is thinking and believing that a loving god would rip his children apart over and over again for loving differently, but loving all the same, and being amazing people in the world outside of that. The fact you believe that tripe and have allowed your common sense to be co-opted by dogma is truly a tragedy.
She makes my heart so happy.. I see so many people disowned by family....
That must be so heartbreaking watching your child literally pray away who they are....any part of who they are.
I listened to Lupe's whole interview with John D and I was in tears more than once. It isn't hard to see whose example cultivated the strength and beauty in David. ❤

Let’s call a sin. A. Sin……. all sexual acts outside of marriage is sinful no matter what you say no matter if it’s David Archuleta or anyone else… homosexuality is not wrong. It’s the sexual acts itself that is wrong.
Good thing we can get gay married and avoid “sinning”. (Psst! A sin is something that hurts another person, and gay love isn’t sinning. It’s love)
God doesn't condone sin
Lol shame for you and your son...
Sir you look like the gayest man I've ever seen
Thats kinda sad to have to choose your child over your creator its not your journey you can love him but still not agree with his lifestyle. In my eyes she gave up on him by turning her back on god the demons have him and you just fold. I will never turn my back on my creator i have 4 kids all straight because they fear and love god sometimes u have to fight for your soul and defeat the evil. We will not be left behind.ill pray for you and your son to keep trying god never gave up on you how can u so easily walk away for him, your son may not be praying whole heartly he may only be doing it for u, this is how the evil will turn ppl away from god by useing your kids dont give up on him. God always has a plan and im pretty sure its not for u to turn your back on him. Trust me i love my children but i will not go down with them as much as it hurts it will hurt alot more going to hell and watching them rip your child apart over and over sometimes u have to let them go so they can find their way back to the light be the light in the darkness for him.
Your kids aren't "not gay" because of what you taught them or your idea of God... If they're straight, it's because they're straight... When there is so much wrong, and so much that has changed in the church (for example: Book of Abraham, Revelation about children of a parent in a gay marriage - oh wait, it changed again - so policy, how was the Book of Mormon translated, polygamy, Blacks are the seen of Cain - oh but not after 1978 etc... So, you can leave the club and not lose your connection with God. I love how members of the church complain if an ex-member speaks against the church and they cry about how they can't just leave and leave the church alone; when your comments and the many above are by those same people condemning and saying they need to come back... I am really sad that you don't have unconditional love for your kids, but for a church that places so many conditions and constantly changes and rewrites their history and doctrine.
What’s sad is thinking and believing that a loving god would rip his children apart over and over again for loving differently, but loving all the same, and being amazing people in the world outside of that. The fact you believe that tripe and have allowed your common sense to be co-opted by dogma is truly a tragedy.
