I was into witchcraft, bisexual, a drug addict, alcoholic, etc. AND JESUS SAVED ME FROM LITERALLY CHOKING.. I called out for help for some reason even though I didn't think he was real. I have changed my entire life ❤ I'm no longer attracted to women, I've turned away from sin, and continue to grow my relationship with God. My childhood trauma healed. Anxiety gone. Jesus truly saves ❤
Hallelujah! He does indeed 🥰
I thank God He rescued you. Welcome to the family. :) God bless you.
He is amazing! Bless you as lead others to freedom in Christ.
That’s an amazing testimony! I’m really happy that God came to save you when you were choking!
May the Lord bless you and the spirit reveals more on your walk! 😁
I lived in gender confusion until my mid-30s and now I celebrate being a daughter of the Most High God! I would have gotten a sex change but never had the money for it. Now I am glad! I lived in the gay lifestyle for 13 years and now I am set apart for God. He is so good and the freedom He has given me is true freedom! I'm in my 60s now and it saddens me to see how things have turned. Jesus is our only hope in all this! Thanks for your testimony, Rosaria!
Amen Jesus is indeed our only hope
Professor Butterfield you have been blessed with such a beautiful mind and intelligence. We thank God for snatching you from the jaws of the enemy. You are such an assert in the kingdom of God.🙌🙌
You're such an encouragement Rosario

When you think about it, the so called enemy is Gods servant in bringing you to Christ. You thought evil against me, but God meant it for good.
Bob Jones University give me a break I'd expect no true balance in his speech or bias. Of all schools to speak and thinks her political prejudice is not on display.
WOW, we need to send this message to Andy Stanley...
So true
Magnificent. I'm gobsmacked. Ha! Her testimony opened doors inside myself to look upon my own sins!!!
I'm reading her autobiography - The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor's journey into the Christian Faith - - - it's been an amazing read.
Her second book as a Christian, The Gospel Comes With a House Key, is a great book to read after that one. She also talks about her testimony in this book, as well as more applicable truths about living as a Christian. I would highly recommend it.
“Repentance is the threshold to God”- I loved that statement from Rosaria. Thank you for such a great teaching!
Sincerely, Stephanie
@Google Sucks Ass That's between you and God. I was only speaking for myself. I liked the way Rosaria put that statement. Because God says He loves a humble heart, repentance naturally leads to receiving His abundant grace. I think this world could use a lot more grace towards others! So that's what I'll aim for and try to act out in my own life. Great wisdom and words to live by! Blessings to you, brother.
@googlenazicompany5935god doesn’t force us to do anything but calls us to serve others voluntarily and personally. The government takes by force and gives through impersonal means which lack accountability love and care. That’s my personal opinion. The only other thing I can say is let’s not forget that this world and bodies are temporary so we should I keep everything in the right context. Jesus could have come and spent his entire ministry healing everyone he encountered of every single disease but he didn’t he offered an eternal healing.
@@nemiller5549Oy. 🙄
So good. "Sin is more than an enemy because an enemy can be reconciled."
This is the most powerful testimony I’ve ever heard. God is incredible!
Wow thanks to the lord Jesus I struggle bcuz of jejection roots childhood on etc thanks to prayers from u and others for me and family and to the lord in my families and I know am attending this agency in prostitution needing and addressing these issues from living and dead so covet prayers as he is delivering me and others amen Koana sooo much from my heart I have been addressing these issues thank u
@@gloriaerhardt4207 I'm sorry no one has read your message. It was so good and you also became venerable and it's hard to do, because we think no one really cares about our life on a public forum. I too wrote from the heart and wonder if I'll ever hear back. May the Lord bless you Gloria. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Our Lord says so. 🙋♀️🙏✝️💜🙏🤲
@@lorimacduff1180 Both you and Gloria are wonderfully and fearfully made. :) Have a beautiful weekend.
@@gloriaerhardt4207 God bless You Gloria!!!!
Powerful and cerebral, praise the Lord, I was applauding, even I was alone like a child!
This is without a doubt the most powerful testimony I have ever heard! I am so grateful that someone cared enough to present this to all who would listen.
It impeccably explains the relationship we are all to have with God.
God bless Rosaria !
Most powerful testimony. Intellectual ❤
Thank you Rosaria for your personal testimony of repentance and escape from homosexual sin. It was not your fault that you fell into this cultural lie and belief. Academia in our country's culture lures you into this. I speak from my personal experience with a daughter who proclaims this identity for 25 yrs. I will never give up praying for her conversion of heart like yourself. God bless you in your ministry for others like my daughter who struggle with this poisonous lie if the devil. ❤🙏✝️
@@janicesaccomanno5971hold on, sister. Keep lifting her up before the Lord for her deliverance.
“If we cannot receive a blessing from God , we will demand it from men”
Wow. Thank you . Exactly.
When refusing to fear God, which is the beginning of wisdom; we instead choose to fear man, which brings a snare.
@@maricamaas2326
Well Said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@rubywedderburn9487
In Rom 1 it is explained how unthankfulness and refusing to worship God as Creator, result in one being given over (by God) to destructive thoughts and actions... Listening for a second time; now hearing her reading from Romans 1...
Incredible that such an super intelligent woman broke down the barriers to know the truth. She seeked and she found.
Yes isn't that the truth?!
She was found.
*sought
Very deep, personal and true to the Scripture. Difficult and painful journey, but decision to seek the Truth is more important! Thank you, Dr. Rosaria, for your humility!
I will say thank you for your vulnerability, for speaking so sincerely, for sharing such a powerful testimony, not only your testimony, but the testimony of a loving father.
Hio😊iihiuihihhhh

To die to yourself is to stand up in Christ
What a beautiful combination of spiritual, intellectual and human expression. Scriptural, articulate, intelligent, courageous, kind, compassionate.
Psalm 1v1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Never heard a testimony like this in my entire life. Life changing!!
Very articulate and well presented testimony. GOD ALMIGHTY IS SO GRACIOUS, LOVING AND KIND. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR SAVING US!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a fantastic testimony!!! ANYTIME we,as Christians, demonize people who are not Christian and weaponize the Bible...we become Satan's favorite tool...
I had recently started watching Becket Cook who is so understandable and a very good host and saw you. Truly, I thought this testimony wasn't going to be any different from the ones I had heard preach about this from preachers/teachers, scholars, etc., to understand how I could reach my lesbian half-sister. In all the years I have been listening, your testimony was the one that made sense and pulled it all together!! I now see where she is coming from. Now I will start praying differently for an opening for me or someone else to come along side her. She is still seeped in the gay community and thinks Jesus is all for her with a special plan and the acceptance of these lies in the now gay churches and 'all roads lead to heaven' doesn't help at all. But I know the Lord loves her and I will pray for her always. She will email but getting together is a no-no; we got together 20 years ago but she doesn't want to hear about the Jesus of the Bible - she still loves her 'jesus'.
🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼✝️
Yes this is done Biblical and compassionate. The new laws being signed are making it harder fir people to THE SIN OF THAT LIFESTYLE BUT GOD IS ABLE .HALLELUJAH
May all that read this pray for your sister as well. That she be convicted, that God could send her a patient Christian friend like Rosaria had, or that God could use you to open a door to Him.
I will be praying for ur sister🙏
I have the same situation with my younger brother, who has lived as a gay man for over 40 years and professes to be a Christian. After all these years believing that "he was born that way", I now understand that it is a sin born out of the fall of Adam and Eve. It's breaking my heart because I want to make him understand that he needs to repent, but at this point preaching is the WORST thing I could do. So I pray for him and pray that me or someone will be able to plant the seeds for an intervention of some sort. I love him and his friends very much, and I don't want them to end up in Hell.
From every tongue and tribe. Praise God.
아멘! 할렐루야!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Amen ❤
Just Beautiful!! May lives changed from this message and souls come to Christ. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Open, tender hearted, and kind. Thank you, Rosaria. Your testimony is poetry.
God is so great- He gave us Rosaria and her testimony is powerful and she is such a good teacher!
Thanking Jesus for Rosaria. Thank you Rosaria for this bible affirming testimony of love. May God bless everyone who listens.
May God richly bless you!
This IS what’s been missing from the church.
I know from experience.
If you're hungry for truth, God will reveal it. If you seek Him, you will find Him!!!
The hunger you feel is the Holy Spirit.
So grateful to see this. I admire this woman immensely. Learned about Rosario when my son entered the gay lifestyle and I fell into the depths of despair. I learned from Sy Rogers, Christopher Juan and his life saving - for me! book - as well as this kind honest surrendered woman, and a handful of people I found in my community that would quietly encourage me. There are so many that just are unwilling to talk compassionately with my husband and I. Others would tell us to just love. And that’s what we do. Thank you so much for this opportunity to hear from Rosaria.
Julia, have you heard Becket Cook’s testimony? He lived as a gay man for many years, and was very successful in Hollywood and the fashion industry. He recently shared a powerful, and touching letter he received after his mother’s passing. He often talks of how his parents loved him and his friends/boyfriends. Let me see if I can find the link to his episode sharing his mom’s letter.
@@ghhm2705I follow Beckett too. That letter was amazing and so encouraging to a mother's heart. I pray with Moms in Prayer and hearing his testimony refueled me.
40:24 The idea of sin between 2 consenting people is victimless is missing a vital point I think. Psalm 51:4 enlightens us to the fact that sin is against God, not other humans.
"Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest."
41:22. Real identity vs. True identity. Extraordinary perception. I’ve never thought about it like this. But then again, the identity crisis seems to be the crisis of our time. And it directly leads to our current Meaning crisis as well.
Thanksgiving you for giving us your testimony. Your faith encourages me.
I just got her book on Amazon. Just in time to take it with me to work. It’s has been a really good read for me. I’ve even underline several key phrases that resonated deep within my heart.
Which one of her books did you get?
My favorite is” I don’t have the right to interrogate the Bible. The Bible has the right to interrogate me.
@@patsiesax9713The secret thoughts of an unlikely convert.
Absolutely the most powerful testimony I have ever heard. The church needs to hear this. She is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Love this testimony. As a Catholic I’m always open to our sisters’ churches stories. During these days of struggle we must stand together with our Christian brethren against Satan’s barrage.
I had a particularly tough day today and am grateful this testimony turned up in my YT feed. RB is really gifted. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Professor Butterfield I'm late to this party and wanted to thank you for your video presenting your testimony.
I appreciate your boldness and your courage to stand up and challenge everything you stood for.
I hope God blessed you mightily and dynamically.
Thank you again and I look forward to listening to more of your material on UA-cam.
3 years after I hope you are having a wonderful day.
AMAZING AMAZING
AMAZING is our God!!!
Wow! I don’t recall ever having heard a speaker so well spoken. Your intellect is abundantly apparent and I rejoice in your incredible testimony.
Joining Lucifer's rebellion (no matter how socially acceptable and supposedly well intentioned) against Jesus has been doomed since its inception and is therefore unsustainable.
Wow!!!!! Every church needs to air this testimony and gift of Grace from Our Hashem!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Life changing to all who hear. This is an answer to prayer. Praise God.
What a great testimony! Thank You Rosaria for sharing!
My heart was "strangely warmed" by your honesty and lifted toward the heavens by your devotion to Jesus our Lord and our Savior.
Excellent speech and testimony!
This talk is fascinating. The way she talks about scripture, world views, and her discovery experience are profound, helping me see clearer. Thank you.
Truly inspired and inspiring testimony ! The Great Councellor and Comfortor, the Holy Spirit, so present here ! She has a truly Blessed ministry .
Praise God for your God story!
Well, I loved your words and the respect for the word of God, the Bible, Jesus and the Church… How you blessed me calling me to have the same attitude towards God… and others… Love you sister!! May Jesus use you to save uncountable troubled people around the world! Thank you so much for your message!
Moving and encouraging and tasting to see how gracious the Lord is.
Rosaries, you have helped me more than you will ever know. GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!
Hey Rosario, I wanted to make a comment on your five lies video. I really appreciated the discussion on modesty. I’ve been part of a church that lives in practice modesty as a part of their church policy. But I’ve had some new thoughts about modesty recently. I listened to a woman who went to the Middle East to visit a relative. It was her sister. They were walking through town, completely covered up except for their faces, and they were still getting all kinds of whistles and cat calls from the Muslim man. She realized at that moment that we as women are not responsible for a man’s thought life . That we can dress modestly to bless the commitment that I’m going to assume every man has, or should have for purity in his life. But my new thought is that modesty is for everyone both men and women. And we are supposed to be showing off Jesus, not ourselves . So exhibitionism is not just something women do men increasingly are doing it as well. So I feel more comfortable, emphasizing the need for us to be representing Jesus and promoting him and not ourselves. And that posture affects every single decision we make in our life, including our clothes .
Wonderful testimony, conversion and salvation by grace. Thank God for saving Rosaria Butterfield and anybody who listened to her testimony.
She is a very lovely Godly woman and I was very inspired by her testimony this was very powerful and has done I bet a lot for many people I pray she continues and never faulter or fall.
Brilliant and articulate testimony. Thank you Rosaria. Blessings. ~Doc
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. It opened some deeper insights into some of the problems/sins I hadn’t fully relinquished. I know the attacks will often come from left field, now I know to hand them to Jesus straight away. Praise and worship are the weapons I need to use more to fight with His help.
Professor Rosaria,
You are truly gifted with intelligence, clarity of thought, full of conviction and are such an engaging speaker.
God has blessed you with knowledge of the truth and changed your conviction of what you thought was right to what is the real truth about Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.
You are doing a wonderful job for the Lord through your talks and helping people to come to the truth by your testimony .
God Bless You to continue to lead people to Him and enjoy true peace & happiness
Praise God for your persistence in understanding God’s love and Grace. Thank you.
Authentic, heartfelt and moving. PTL
WOW... Amazing testimony.
A powerful testimony!!
This testimony is worth listening too. Everyone can learn from Dr. Rosaria’s words and the incredible work of Jesus in a heart that is open❤
Genuine authentic biblical comprehension of how to submit and surrender to God in the face of dealing with the struggle of homosexuality.
Thoughtful, Convicting and Inspirational
Thank you very much for sharing. that was beautiful. Praise the Lord for raising you up to do this very thing!!
Brilliant and uplifting. Praise God.
I love this testimony
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. What a blessing.
What a POWERFUL witness and testimony. ALL praise to JESUS for how He can deliver us from darkness, lies, the devil's snare .... WOOOORD! WOOOHOOO!!!!!
I just love Rosaria Butterfield. Her talks have really encouraged me. Thank you.
Prise the Lord beautiful testimony Dear Rosaria. Thank you very much!
Powerful, inspiring and so enlightening.
Thank you, Rosaria for boldness and wisdom from the Lord and for bringing others to understanding of truth
What an articulate statement, loved everything about this message, a Blessing for sure…🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
How I would love to write to you Rosaria. I first heard you on the Beckett Cook Show. I'm a Born Again Christian Woman and think your Book, "The Gospel Comes With A House Key" is so important for other believers to to read and grasp totally. My life would be so much better if I weren't always at home alone. The Lord wants me to write a Book about my life and after listening to you, I really felt lead to write you. How could I do that? I've known for many years I should write this Book and especially after my U of T Professor told me back in 1990 that only 2 students in his class had the gift for writing and I was one of them. I thought he had to be mistaken and put it on a shelf until, last Aug/22. Blessings for sharing your life to the World 🌎 🙏💜 ✝️ 💜🙏 🇨🇦 🙌
Praise the Lord!
Amazing. May God bless you and keep you in His loving care 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Love the presentation of the gospel and how starting to love Jesus changed it all for you.
Wow! Praise G-d for a very powerful testimony.
Thank you Rosaria. Appreciate your testimony.
When we struggle is because we haven’t surrender.
🎯🎯🎯✝️❣
"Understanding comes after obedience" is powerful!
Ma’am you have been a blessing to me!!! God bless you
Wonderful testimony.
Praise God for his testimony is confirmed in Rosaria. Amen.
This is so great and enlightening! Gives me a new, good perspective and a desire to seek Jesus even more!!
Thank you for sharing Rosario. God is beautiful.

I am so grateful for your testimony. Identity confusion… so true. My heart breaks for children who grow up believing the lies of the enemy. May God touch each and everyone’s heart who needs to know the truth.
