"God's not mad at you." i've been so stressed lately about this and that just really helped
the bible says he loves everyone he can't hate. good luck
+Reyna Reyes He loves us but he can hate things, sin is an abomination to him, he does not associate himself with sin
Me too. I actually cried.
Same
The Word of God says God is mad at sinners and His wrath abides on them so yea she's wrong.
*I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY! :)*
HELLO from LOS ANGELES, CA!
Thank you!
Haley Carson Of course!
you forgot the "I'm a small youtuber you should check out my channel!"
BEGONE FROM HERE THOU VILE BENEFACTOR! Your civil discourse and bountiful gratuities of fortuitous destiny are not welcome here! *Harrumphumphumph!*
I don't like that people say Christianity is against gay people. my Catholic Church accepts everyone. the religion is about being loving and accepting, not hating people
its a lot of Christians that are against them not Christianity
Totally agree with u
Exactly. My Catholic Church had atleast 10 gay people come to church on a regular Sunday basis. No one battered an eye
If you don't think the catholic church is against homosexuality then you are deluded at best. Your catholic church specifically has probably augmented its teachings as a result of being situated in a more liberal, accepting society which has came to be as a result of western philosophy. If you genuinely believe that religion is all about being "loving and accepting" then I don't think you've actually read the bible.
nope
Ok but Jen's haircut. Yes.
You are a simple woman. You saw Jen in the thumbnail so you clicked on the video
...
I'm saying because I saw no one else has said it on this video yet and it felt weird
I need that haircut.
Lucumu851 I am a simple woman, I saw Jen and I clicked
I'm a straight Christian and I know that the god I know and live really doesn't give two hoots if you are gay or not, he is all encompassing love and as long as you live to be the best person you are then he's even happier! We all sin and he knows, he loves us anyway so be you, do you, be happy that you are always loved and try to pay it forward! Peace x
YES! I am a straight Christian but I fully support the LGBT community.
thank you. as part of the lgbt community i have been very sceptical of religious ppl for a long time after growing up in a biphobic homophobic religious family. only recently am i seeing this side of religion and religious ppl that are all-loving and accepting xx
He loves us all so much he gives cancer to children.
I love this comment so much, you have no idea. Reading this made my heart happy and I'm glad that people like you exist.
thank you! finally someone knows
this is very comfortinggg
JORDAN I LOVE YOUR NAME xD (I'm a demig so I want to change my name to that)
God is love. God loves you. God loves you even if youre different.
I know sombody of you will say "so youre saying god loves Hitler" yeah, maybe but sure he wasnt happy how he became sombody "Bad"
If God loves everyone, there wouldn't be a Hell. Second chances don't exist for those people which God already knew in the future. But hey, If you believe in something that experiments with humans in a sinful world where God allowed people to have imperfect bodies to cause harm, your choice
just like shrek
This is the kind of comment that I love, God never hates His creation, He just gets disappointed sometimes
may the All wondefull God bless you
I'm catholic and I'm bi, although I'm not accepted and I can't be my whole self I find a lot of comfort in god
Alexandra-Louise Catholicism is false
bláthanna ealaíontóir no. I’m doing what the Lord wants me to do, not what men want me to do
bláthanna ealaíontóir I am...
Yassss
The Vigilant Soldier iam Catholic and i have miracles and dreams of god... He loves us and i know it...
AS A LESBIAN CHRISTIAN I WANT TO SAY THIS JUST CALMED MY NERVES SO MUCH. THANK YOU
Amen. “It is finished”
This does help me LOTS. Like way more than I expected. Especially since I'm only 14
I say stay as close to religion as you can. I have a close family member who used prayed to get through tuff times with coming out. And it payed of as they have a spouse and wonderful life. They attend masses weekly
+H2rau I live happily as an atheist. No praying required.
+H2rau I live happily as an atheist. No praying required.
SlinkySlane I'm sorry, but if you've ever read the Bible, it says that you should love all people, I too am a Christian. Just because you're around them doesn't mean you won't go to heaven. It's the sin that we hate, but not the sinner. In the Bible it says, love all people.
SlinkySlane was thag necessary? Also, I thought you said you were an atheist, also the sword was the Egyptians.
I love that this is being talked about. Christianity is not about God only loving certain people. A christian can be and look like anyone! God loves everyone! This topic is so important to me as a Christian and Christians that tell people that they cannot be a Christian for being anything is completely disgusting to me. I am not perfect and no one is. But God is and he is love. He loves all and everyone no matter what! This is a beautiful conversation being had and I love it!!!
I'm mad that this is even a question, Jesus loves everyone period no questions asked
Abby Blake Amen to that!
Abby Blake lol we’ll see how things turn out on judgement day. Sick of seeing false Christianity people are being deceived! WAKE UP!!
The Vigilant Soldier are you behaving in a loving way? Or are you just trying to assert yourself over others to make yourself feel good? Your self-assurance and distrust in Christ is not in line with how we Christians should behave.
If you prayerfully approach the Bible in your studies of this subject, you are sure to find the truth.
N M distrust in Christ? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I challenge you to come debate me on hangouts so we can discuss this properly all I’m doing is what the bible says
No. I've worked on understanding this my entire life. I'm not going to spend my time debating with a troll who thinks that Jesus can't save someone from Judgement Day. Your theology is just too far from the Bible. Have you even looked into this before? Have you read the ancient Greek and Hebrew? Have you studied the clobber verses in depth?
I'm a lesbian and I've struggled with my religion and my relationship with god ever since I knew i was gay and couldn't completely convince myself that I wasn't. But watching this video has given me the courage to try. Not to dive into the deep end of the pool and eat, sleep and breathe jesus but at least to try to rebuild that relationship
capitalize God
am a Christian. Christianity is not a religion it a relationship with God and Jesus am a child of God and bi
I am a bi christian! it's so exciting to see representation!! :)
You go girl!
I’m bi/queer Christian too but I’m only out to my sister and my idea of a future includes a man so I don’t really feel like I need to tell my parents. I’m telling my friends soon so wish me luck.
Rea Christian that’s the exact point i’m at rn
Same
Me 2
I'm a bisexual Christian, I came out to my friends who're all very religious in February and they all support me 😊
See God made everyone they way he wanted to make them, so for people to say "God hates the LGBTQ+ Community" is stupid in my opinion
ughmykaela Yay 🌈
You're so lucky... most my friends hate me for being bi
You have a great support system
Love jens hair 💕
I really love girls who look hot and sexy with short hair, like Jen does :-)
It's rare seeing them pull it off tho
A Cat I do agree with you, lots of girls look okay with short hair but some... they just sparkle in it :-)
greenmarker567
Yeas
yeah her hair's so cool!
As a bi female Christian, i feel so blessed right now.
God’s not mad at you!
I don't understand who would be part of a religion who hates homosexuality, specially gay people
Nowhere in the Holy Bible says to hate homosexuals.
no but it does say to stone us to death
The message of the bible is Gods love for us. Any hating towards gay people is purely those peoples fault , and unrelated to Christianity. Jesus befriended strippers and all kinds of people. He didn't accept their sin, but loved them.
says you cant go to heaven though.
Technically, even if the bible DID say that, the bible was written by PEOPLE, not God himself. So saying that God hates all gay people because one dude happened to think that doesn't make sense to me
"then i fell in love with a woman"
"wHOOPS"
"whos phone is ringing?"
"it's jESUS!"
"Does everyone else here that phone?"
"IT'S JESUS!"
done.
As a bisexual teenager who has been brought up and raised in a Polynesian, Christian family I am really happy to see this video in my feed! I need this 😘
“God’s not mad at you” I needed that 🥺
I agree with these guys. I am a straight Christian and I can't really understand why the church is so against gay people, when from what I understand Jesus loved everyone no matter the differences. The way I see it is that if no one is getting hurt and the people I love are happy let them live their life.
Ah, I see you actually pay attention to the bible when it comes to loving others.
"I realized I was living as a queer Christian already." This matters to me, thank you!
so many people need to understand that God won't hate you because you're gay
yeah. I grew up with religious beliefs. How can one even believe in any "written" b.s! Your praying to who exactly?
Alexuh I'm sorry for you I really am. I'm sorry because your unbelief is going to hurt you in the end.
Stephanie Vogus I'm sorry for you as well. Hopefully you end up exactly where you want to be because no proof that is exist.
OF COURSE HE WONT HATE YOU BECAUSE HE DOESNT EXIST. Haha now ya'll gonna hate on the atheist
Exactly, becuase "he" doesn't exist.
bye
49% butthurt atheists
Other 49% butthurt religious people
2% do you boo
My tiny persent 'IM A PANSEXUAL CATHLOIC'
Agnostic with unofficial Zen Buddhist leanings here. I don't judge, so I guess I'm in that 2% of do you boo.
Pansexual christian here, what's up
Aradia Megido at wyou me?
???
I used to be Christian, then I read the Bible.
So you were a Christian that had never even read the bible
+Mdx lol I know right
The majority of Christians don't fully read it lol
You were never a true Christian if you've never read the bible..
so people who can't read can't be Christian?
i feel like people misunderstand and think that the Bible was written by Jesus...it wasn't.So please don’t start judging God as being homophobic.
Peace be with you ^-^
You just made my day 😂
YES!!! THANK YOU!!!! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!!!!!!!
you are a cool person :)
All scripture is God-breathed, as in He literally gave the writers the words and they wrote them down. If the Bible was written by humans then it would be laced with sin. But it wasn't, it was written by a perfect and holy God who knew exactly what to say. And if you read and study it you will see that He is a loving and awesome God who loved us so much that He willing died on the cross to save us from our sin.
Jesus mentioned the future writings which would become the Holy Bible several times during the Gospels.
+allison chambon It wasn't written by God. It is the inspired Word of God written by human beings through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.. This is why it must be read with a proper understanding of context, and through the lens of the Holy Spirit.
God is real. Religion is man-made. Done deal.
Exactly, people need to realise that believing in GOD and following a RELIGION are two different things...
THANKYOU
Dachief you’re half right
🤯
Well it's ok if you believe that but I don't
I'm bi and Christian, and no, it's not an oxymoron.
i'm a christian lesbian and i go to a super accepting church that i love :)
to you really accept the situation where in female dressing room comes transgender male?
@Marvin Guigar You should research more on this topic. Please read about the historical context of those verses and understand that God is love, why would they make me an abomination for being bi if they love me?
@Marvin Guigar In Leviticus it also says not not to wear clothes with different types of cloths, to not burn the fat of animals or to eat fruit from a tree within four years of planting it. Your point being?
@Marvin Guigar So you are telling me you don't do anything of the things I listed above. I think you need to Google about the new covenant vs the old covenant in the bible and what that means for Christians.
@Marvin Guigar I agree we need the Old Testament. I just don't believe we need to follow to Old Testament law that the original Israelites did. We don't sacrifice a perfect lamb anymore because Jesus was our perfect lamb on the cross.
There's a lot of comments saying that you can be Christian and gay, and lots saying that you can't because the Bible states that it's a sin. So here's a crazy idea: maybe we could stop living our lives by what a 2500 year old book written by humans says and do what makes us happy?
it's also a sin to get a divorce or cheating on your partner. the thing about the idea of christianity is that jesus died for your sins, which confuses me because why follow any rules if you're already saved? i'm a confused person haha
Well, yes it was written by humans but they were told by God what to write
Miss. Art-tastic And how do you know this - because the Bible said so? Do you believe everything you red? :3
Sounds like a nice idea! Unfortunately, as a Christian, we have to accept it as the pure, undiluted word of God. You, because of what you believe, are not required in any way to believe the bible. A Christian, however, is. The reason there's such a big argument over certain things, such as homosexuality, is that different things in the bible can be interpreted in different ways.
Quəən Maurəən
Sorry, I think I confused myself with what I wrote. I meant to say that if there is one case where it is not blind faith to believe something based on what is written, it is the Bible. As for homosexuality, it is as clear and simple as any other sin, there are no exceptions. We need to repent of our sins, all of them, and work towards modeling our lives so as to honor God.
i really really needed this right now
Me too...
Jen: Who's phone is ringing?
Jordan: Hello? IT'S JESUS!
I THINK I'M DYING XD
Thank you for speaking about this! Y'all are awesome.
Well, you can't pick and choose religious laws. If Christianity forbids being queer then that's what it is. God is merciful And loving but he is also just. If there was a rule forbidding robbery you can't just say God is loving and he will forgive me and go about stealing things. You will be judged and held accountable for your ALL your actions. It wouldn't be fair for the rest of people who played by the rules. God will forgive a person when he truly regrets what he has done. I'm not a Christian myself but I do not like people adjusting religious laws to fit them. You wanna be queer and Christian be so, but don't go around telling people that Christianity is okay with it. Oh the hate I'll get from this comment ...
The bible was written 3000/2000 years ago. It also says that having slaves is okay should we still keep slaves? No. In Leviticus it says it is unclean to eat pork. So does that mean you don't eat pork? No.
Exactly no matter what weird rules it has if you're gonna follow it you have to follow all the rules
the bible isn't applicable in the modern day i'd say that about one in a million christians actually go by it to the smallest detail so honestly if you're saying to be a "good" christian u have to follow everything, u are saying most christians aren't "good"
I never said most Christians are not good. There is a difference between being " good" and being a " good Christian". Anyone could be good. Muslim Jew atheist, but i can't call these people good Christians. A good Christian is one who follows the bible and try not to sin according to the bible's definition of sinning. Good Christians are not always good people as well. It's a cycle.
^ good point. i mean the bible contradicts itself multiple times so it's fair to say it's not a very good source of morals anyway lol
This is the most comforting thing I have seen on this topic. Thank you so much. (I cried in a good way) :)
i'm a trans ftm christian, i grew up southern baptist and it was really really hard but everyday i'm learning more and more that i can follow jesus as the man i'm meant to be and god will never abandon me or condemn me for who i am
"I fell in love with a woman!" "Whoops!" 😂I've literally said this to myself so many times with genuine surprise😂
I'm a pansexual Christian and I'm a Sunday school teacher
"Hello , hello ? " 😊 "ITS JESUS " 😂🙈 Can't stop replaying that 👌
yes you can be gay and Christian. I'm Catholic and I believe that you are allowed to be who you want to be or who you are meant to be and still love God in the process. God made us all and he made you gay. The Bible isn't what you should go by, the love in your heart and the desire to be a good person should be your priorities. The Bible was guidelines made up by man to control others, manipulating God's word into their benefit. I love God and I know in my heart that he loves you all as well no matter who you are.
You may think religion is a joke and to an extent you would be right. The way religion can be used is disgusting. People use their religion to justify their prejudice but not all people who believe in God are like that. And I think when people are clumped together it's wrong because no one in this world thinks exactly the same, we just need a group to identify with.
Anyways rant over lol
just felt the need to give my perspective.
oh and thank you for listening to me 😊
you can't be both. if you're gay, the Bible says you won't inherit the Kingdom of God. don't say I'm not allowed to judge because 1 Corinthians 5 12 13 say we can judge believers. The Catholic church is a cult anyway lol.
Yes you are very correct. 😊Love this
did you not read what I said? lol I said not go by the bible because the bible is just written by man to tell others what to do. Then you quote the bible to prove me wrong?
either you didn't read the whole thing or you're just an idiot lol
I'm bi and christian, and I thought I was gonna be rejected and not loved by God for being bi. But reading these comments give me so much confidence that God loves me even if i'm different. I'm crying right now. Thank you for all these nice comments.
As a straight christian, I could not be more happy for you guys. I am so unbelievably glad that you didn't leave your faith because of some negative feed back. There are bad people in the world, including christians setting a bad name for the faith. It warms my heart that you've found a group of friends to share love and share experiences. Best of luck to Niki in finding a church that she can connect with and thank you for this episode of "In the Closet"! ^-^
We never surprise God. What a comfort.
i really needed this video, thank you!!
This is exactly what I needed today
Thank you
Some how being gay came up at youth group, the adults first started accepting...... But then one of them was explaining how a person who went to their church was now gay. She had a really negative tone saying 'he knew better'..... It killed both me and my friend and we really questioned how excepting they really were. Now I'm just really nervous if they realize I'm bi and Christian, because no one knows yet
I appreciate this segment so much
In response to some peoples comments, one thing the bible makes crystal clear is that our faith is NOT about following rules. Its all about your relationship with god.
i actually went to a church camp and they dealed with this subject in bible study and basically they said that god may not agree with you but he doesn't hate you and he still loves you and all that...
I'm a Christian and I just have to say true christians don't hate gay people. The Bible says to love EVERYONE. That includes the LGBT community. God loves everyone including LGBT people. He created them. My uncles are gay and I love them just as much as my straight uncles.
"This is the part of Niki's head that is exceptionally gay" amazing 😂
*screams* THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO OML
This was a shockingly relevant video. Niki went through literally excatly what I'm going through. I'm floored.
You know what annoys me? When people say god will not be mad at you and you will go to heaven for clearly going against the bible
religion is fake
You know what annoys me? People like you.
why does it annoy you because he's telling the truth? ?
You act like you don't go against the Bible.
Do you eat shellfish or shrimp? Because that is also forbidden.
As my pastor once said
If a straight God loving person can go to heaven why would cant a gay one go as well
Read Leviticus 18 verse 22...
I'm Catholic and I support lgbt:)!
this video specks to me so much I don't have words, I honestly don't even know what to say, this is something that has bugged me for years and I'm so glad you guys made a video about it. thank you so much
I’m a gay Christian teen and just today I had some guy yell at me over the internet that that’s not real and I can’t be a Christian. It was HILARIOUS. I’ve learned that it’s better to embrace who you are rather than stress over it. Also, just laugh at those idiots that tell you that who you are is wrong or that something about you is wrong. They’re the ones who are wrong.
I'm rolling my eyes so hard at all of these comments...
Cool.
good 4 you, I guess
Same
I am a closeted bisexual that is a Christian. I’ve currently been struggling about church. My church believes being gay is an “abomination”. I have grown up with this church sense I was about 8 I went every other Sunday with my grandma. For a while when I was older my grandma begged me to come but honestly I came back to church on my own because I just went through a break up and needed a community and a better relationship with God and it helped. I looked forward to going to church every Sunday (well unless I had a hangover I’m 21 and still young sorry Jesus). Anyways I didn’t like the few time they talked bad about the LGBT+ and most are Trump supporters as well. I’m not political I just think he can act childish and unprofessional sometimes. Recently with the whole Coronavirus they have been going crazy. They are saying people shouldn’t wear masks and just trust Jesus, talking negatively about homosexuality, and believing crazy links on Facebook trying to scare people. My favorite couple that I grew up with in the church they were like grandparent figures to me left because the lady has a really low immune system and didn’t want to come back to church so soon and the pastors were very rude to them and saying that the couple are being fearful and slipping in faith. It really hurt their feelings so they left. It made me sad because they are amazing people and done so much for the church and then they get treat this way. They have directed plays I starred in one as the lead, they choreographed dances that are part ASL I was in a few, the man sing with the Worship Team, the lady worked the computer to put the lyrics on the screen and bible verses on the screen so people can see better, and the man was also a Sunday school teacher (he taught me and now I help him). I heard there is an LGBT supporting church 45mins from me but I hate to leave my current church because my grandma is a Karen (personality and name) and I will never hear the end of it. She always begs my mom to come when my mom told me when she feels like she wants to start attending church she wants to go to one completely separate so it can be her own thing. I’ve just been so stressed with the virus, my job, being closeted, religion, family, etc. Sorry this is so long
Update: I’m made up my mind not to go back. I feel good about it. As much as I loved that church it grew to be toxic. Idk where God will place me whether that’s at a different church or going in my faith solo. I know who I am and what I believe in.
I support you. Don't forget God loves you. 💗💜💙
@@jamesnugent2213 Thank you so much! I know he does. ❤️
ACE ACE DO AN ACE ONE ARO ARO DO AN ARO ONE MKAY YALL DO THIS
"heres the part of nikis head that exceptionally gay" fave quote. i can relate lmao
😭 I’m bi and Christian and I needed this so bad
Finally a good work by buzzfeed.... Im both catholic and bisexual and I agree to this...
that's because you're gay and this helps you to rationalize your decision to be the way you are
I mean, if we really followed the commandments, we would sin by masturbating, wearing 2 fabrics (Neoprene jacket, steel crucifix and cotton shirt and pants apparently count as a sin), and many other stupid things.
What I do in my spiritual exercises with my group, is that we internalize the true teachings from the bullcrap.
uomosenzanomo exactly ignoring the parts that are inconvenient to your new age ideology
uomosenzanomo what are you talking about I'm not supporting you that's sarcasm you're butchering the one of the core principals of the religion
they literally just said they were bisexual... not gay...
Yay! I love the subject matter and discussions in this video. I, myself, am straight... but I wholeheartedly believe, if God made you, he loves you...ALL OF YOU. He made each one of us special. He made us to love one another. Please don't let the clouded mind of a few people, color your view of the church. You can find an open church that is more than happy to have you in attendance, they do exist. :)
Thanks for saying this, it's really comforting :)
My favorite video by far!!!! This so true. I now have something to whip out when people asking me for an explanation on my views of the LGBTQ community and my faith.
This actually really helped. Thanks for bringing up this topic
the comment section is very comforting
gueer ladies having fun! i love this series
Bi and christian, proud of both!!!!!
Jen should have her own channel
Glad you guys weren't afraid of addressing this! I'm a Christian, and over the course of several years, I began to understand more about basic human rights and how messed up some people have been by distorting something that was intended for us to experience through relationship.
Thank you so much. This gives me a lot of hope for the future.
I am a bi catholic and I can say that God absolutely loves us and he made everyone in His image. So it makes no sense that He would hate us
I'm christian ,I'm pan and that's me
when she said said doesn't who is right well... in the bible it says
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” Leviticus 20:13
and
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus 18:22
I hope you are not committing any of these abominations, because that would make you a hypocrite.
Eating shrimp, lobster or crab: Leviticus 11:12
Eating pork: Deuteronomy 14:8
Checking your horoscope: Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Eating Leftovers: Leviticus 19:7
Wearing men's clothing: Deuteronomy 22:5
Burning Incense: Isaiah 1:13
All of these are equally as heinous as being gay in the eyes of your god.
Actually Jesus made all food clean, and incense are an offering to the Lord.
Jesus fulfilled all of the Old Testament laws. However, Romans 1:21-31 discusses homosexuality as a sin. As someone who is a Christ Follower and struggle with homosexuality, I strive to place my love for God above my love for someone else. I would rather be wrong than sinning.
Emily Branum that must be really hard for you I can't even imagine. I pray that God will continue to give you the strength to fight it.
If you have read the Bible and know any of the context of the Bible you would know Leviticus is in the Old Testament readings which Christians no longer live by because of the new testament which is also called the new law
The thing that I most needed to hear was "God's not mad at us". It is so true.
This is the video that changed my life for the better. BuzzFeed isn't half what it used to be without you, Niki.
Ok.Wait. Hooooowww is this possible!?!
#1 I’m Bisexual 💗💜💙🏳️🌈👩❤️👩💑
#2 I’m Christian ⛪️✝️
#3 My name is Jordyn (or how Jordan in this spells it ‘Jordan’)
Yes the answer is yes
uhh no not at all
God loves all people to him a sin is a sin is a sin. No sin is greater than the other. Someone stealing is just as "bad" as someone being part of the lgbtq+ community.
Yes that's true he loves the sinner but NOT the sin
Yeah he doesn't love the sin. It doesn't mean he doesn't love the person. As long as a person has given their life to Jesus and knows him then that's all it takes to be a Christian. Being a Christian doesn't come with a book of rules as everyone seems to think.
When you give yourself to God you apart from those ways and yes it does that's what the Bible is a guide, rules to keep us on the path with him
I'm a pansexual catholic!! :D
Thank you so so much for making this video!! This is exactly what I've been needing! Thank you!!!
I really like these three together, they seemed to be having fun
Okay so I'm part of the swedish Church which is lutherarian (is that the Word? Idk) and at least in My church they're really accepting, Two of My best "church-friends" are both gay and transgender. The church also have something called "Rainbow-mass" which basically is the ordinary mass but with a lgbtq+ theme.
when I say Buzz you say Feed
Buzz
well done for playing along
+I like Suga and Kookie with my Tae feed😂
I like Suga too. He is so cue
How did this go from BuzzFeed to Yoongi??? Lol
One's relationship with God is unique and individual. Nobody, no priest, pastor, imam, and rabbi can tell you God doesn't love you or God hates you. There are many interpretations of all holy scriptures from all religions and nobody can say their interpretation is the right one. I'm positively sure that God loves you and cares about you deeply, because you are part of his/her creation. Just don't harm anyone and respect and love everyone like God does.
I never got why God would create.
If god is perfect, all knowing and all powerful nothing could add to his perfection, so there could be no motivation to create anything. Even ignoring his lack of motivation, it would make humans pointless things with no meaning even to its creator because they add nothing in the grand scheme of things.
but see, and this is with all due respect, you're mortal, and human. If you 'got' God, then you'd be on the same level as God. No human can claim to know God's plans, all we can so is trust in Him.
@Hazel eyes, the reason we are existing in this world is because
...Life is a test, God is all knowing etc so why are we going though this test?
God already knows the result of our existence because God knows everything but because God is fair God still allows us to take the test and gives us the book to educate ourselves so that when the exam is over we can't argue that we passed or failed because of the evidence.
Imagine that you didn't take the test and you failed would it be fair compared to as taking the test and failing? All knowing that EVEN if you took the test you would STILL fail. WHICH ONE IS FAIR?
The topic here is Christianity..... not Islam, Judaism, etc.... So no need for "other scriptures".....
Thank you so much for this. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means that you guys sat down and talked about this!
I shaved half my head and as also a questioning Christian. Thank you so much for making this video. It means a lot.
It's really sad how Christianity has been a vehicle of oppression throughout history. For instance, once upon a time being black was an abomination, and being a woman was a 'burden' to society. Scriptures literally used to validate that certain groups were subhuman becz their very existance is a sin.
In this day and age its sexuality and gender identity that we're struggling with.
By accepting Jesus as Lord we're suppose to uphold the greatest law of all - to love and rever God and to love your neighbour, no matter what. That is Christianity at it's core. Yes, there are other things in the Bible regarding our 'lifestyle' (for lack of a better word) but why can't we leave all of that up to individual conviction of the Holy Spirit, cz God is God and we are not (yes, I just quoted Beyonce 😋). He is the ultimate judge! It's really not what we were made to do.
yes isnt it funny how our interpretations of the bible have changed over the last 2000 years, its almost as if the perfect word of god isnt so set in stone and isnt all that perfect
There have often been people who misuse scriptures..... you can't say Christianity is blamed for it..... I might as well then blame every Muslim for the terrorist attacks..... since it is their Quran that causes their reaction....
Joy Phillips I'm not saying it is at all. I'm a Christian myself.
boopdafoopdontmind
What are you Muslim? Are you saying that the Bible is corrupted? Except, that we all know Muslims just say that in order to justify their own Quran so that they can claim Mohammad came from God....
But Beyonce doesn't believe in God. 😕And plus, she sold her soul to the devil.
I was laughing so hard throughout the video, then I almost cried when it was over, I'm a Christian teen and I'm queer. I'm struggling with it, but it helps to remember that God really just wants to love us, that's all He wants. I'm in a Baptist Church right now and I hate to say that there are some hypocrites in there, good people, but I think the forgot the whole love your neighbor as yourself part.
Sorry for the rant.
Bi-sexual agnostic. Love is the only thing that matters.
*sees the title*
YES WE CAN
I'm a queer Christian, I go to a catholic school, and everyone I know has been incredibly supportive. The most important message of the Church is to love others as you love yourself. If you throw away this message just because you disagree with who someone loves, then you should rethink your faith.
Love everyone.
Queer Christians Unite!! 🙏💕
well, if you put it that way, it's similar to other sins. (i know im going to get hate for this) God KNOWS that we sin, its not a surprise to him, but we SHOULDN'T sin, right?
also, God isnt mad at you at you when you sin, but there is a consequence for sin
Agreed. This particular topic has been portrayed as the "ultimate sin". But, in fact it is as terrible to God as us lying. We equate sins by a twisted paradigm. That is why when these topics come up we believe it is impossible to approach the subject without immediate backlash. One channel to look at is Theology, Philosophy, and Science. Watch the video about pro-gay arguments and it reveals a lot on the subject.
Aren't all sins equal?
1 Cor 6:9, 10. All these sins are viewed equally by God. Why does it seem like people skip this part of the bible??
If we make a choice to be gay then we are sinning and making a choice to sin. And if we are Christians then we have conviction from the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit isn't convicted you of being gay then your not a Christian.
If anyone's living in Nottingham// Derby area of England go see Bare!! It's only on this week and themed on this and it's absolutely brilliant!

saw it and it's wicked
What is bare? Message me
Yes. The answer is yes. There will always be a difference of opinion. We're're human - that's part of admitting imperfection as a Christian - but don't let anyone or anything tell you that you don't deserve the love you're promised. Thank you for this - and if you're looking for a community in LA, hit me up or just reach out to Christians you know and trust! There are some great communities out there.
my church is so open and accepting and is such a safe place. I'm elca lutheran and we welcome anyone to worship no matter their sexuality, race, gender identity or anything else. you simply can't group all christians together.
