I'm a 18 yrs boy,I have decided to follow Christ with all my heart, that's why I stopped watching anything pertaining to gay/porns since I was 16,, I can proudly say that I'm an ex-gay, not because I feel straight, but because Lord JESUS CHRIST has redeemed me, yes, I must be honest that the gay thoughts are still coming,but I believe those are just temptations from satan. Please pray for me through this spiritual battle. ❤️❤️ I know JESUS is for me and with me. Thank you
The temptations in your mind are the words of the enemy, they are not your thoughts. It's just the enemy using the word "I" instead of "you" "I like those things." "I am attracted to this." At least that's what helped me.
Ex-gay doesn't exist. You still have gay thoughts because you're still gay; why can't you just accept that? I feel so sorry for you that you've felt as if you've have to "change" yourself just to suit God that, believe it or not, didn't have a problem with you to begin with.
I pray God gives you your answers. I tempted to say stuff, but I don't think I'm qualified to give you the answers. Check out Sam Alberry (the guy that Frank Turek mentioned from RZIM). I'll definitely add you to the prayer list. 🙏
@@mr.person4050 God speaks against all immorality and humans have all done immoral things making us immoral beings so yes we are to change from unrighteousness to righteousness which can only be done through Christ.
@@mr.person4050 I left islam and became agnostic/atheist then last year, i fall in love with jesus christ and became christian but i still never understood why would god make homosexuality count as something bad. i had a friend who is gay and i asked him long time ago about it and he said that he cant get attracted to girls and that he had feelings towards other boys since he was young. that made me look at it in a different way although back then i was still a muslim and islam treats homosexuals with death penalty while christianty does not teach that as far as i know but still i never could understand why would homosexuality count as a sin, as if it is something terrible and evil like murder or rape or deception ...
I like that she had a genuine question about homosexuality💯 When most people bring up homosexuality and the church, they are usually closed-minded and just trying to hate on Christianity.
She seemed pretty close minded to me. Not open to the fact that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Closed off to anything that the Bible doesn't agree with.
The fact that hundreds of all these atheists come to ask questions from this one man to me shows that Jesus is truly the way. I mean, have y’all ever seen this many Christians come to atheists with all these questions and attempts to debunk atheism? I’ve never seen it 🤣 GOD IS GOOD
Whether they come out believing or not, I'm still happy for them. They genuinely are concerned and want to know more and gain wisdom, advise and knowledge. Or if it's none of those, I'm happy that they're there, either way. Whether they believe or not, that's God's will, not ours. God bless them and God bless you.
Exactly if you don't believe in something leave it at that with no question. Yet they are there to get the truth that may change their thought of mind.
Yes, the difference between followers of Christ and atheists are followers of Christ are confident of their faith, whereas atheists are unsure so they try to refute Christianity to feel more secure in their faith.
It's not about gay to straight, it's about lost to saved! I would also advise anyone suffering through habitual sin (of any kind) is to FAST and PRAY!! We all need deliverance! Get on your face before God and fast and pray--and Jesus will set you free! The closer you to are to God the farther you are from sin. I'd rather be at war with my sin than a slave to it! Keep fighting the good fight!
@@JamesRichardWiley yes, if you seek Him and repent and are born again God will breathe within you a new heart. God will help them overcome it. If they let him. It's a battle though. It will never be easy. Like any sin anyone commits. But God will help us
Lets remember that homosexuality is not any more sinful than adultery/fornication. Everyone should be allowed in church if they're struggling with this. If they are saying its not a sin though (or that they can sin and don't have to repent) then that's an issue. If I had children I would never excommunicate them either. Everyone needs their family unit and if family excommunicates them then they will only go deeper into sin. Keep praying, and keep believing for the breakthrough.

The thing that people criticize him for is that he sounds aggressive and arrogant. That's just how he talks, my dad actually talks like him. He's not angry or being aggressive, he's just loud. And my dad is one of the nicest men I know.
The best answer I've ever heard to this question is given by Jackie Hill Perry. A female pastor who began a lesbian but is now married to a man and still deals with that temptation but her devotion to christ helped her figure out how to work through it. Her story is something else. She's an amazing pastor no matter what she's talking about.
There were once two evangelist on my college campus and I didn't know how to feel about them. Were they preaching love or were they faking it. I am christian and struggle with same sex attraction. I wanted to test them and see if their hearts where in the right place. I told one of them that I was gay and would like to talk about what the Bible says about it. He pulled out a pen and paper and was prepared to make lunch arrangements. I knew that this person was genuinely out there to form relationships and talk to people about the Gospel. If your goal is only to convert people and not for relationships then your missing something. If a christian won't sit and eat with an unbeliever then that's an issue. We are called to go and tell everyone about Jesus. Even Jesus sat and ate with unbelievers.
I like how he made it clear that the congregation is to work together to bring people into a holyness. And through that the changes will take place with Christ's help.
I also liked how he pointed that out. So many people think that Christianity can be a solo thing. We are meant to live in community with one another and there are so many parts of scripture that explain how we each have gifts but they are meant to be used as a whole. We are but single parts of a body and each is utterly important to the other and we're not meant to be solo Christians. And it isn't talked about enough and so I also like that he talked about that
@@pastorbri So I'm guessing you just threw "pastor" on your screen name for giggles. We all need prayer and redemption; we all need a personal relationship with Christ; and we all benefit from the community of the body, which is the church.
@@pastorbri oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were a progressive "pastor". I'll pray that you will realize the truth, and turn away from the false teachings that you are wrapping yourself in.
False teachers, flee from these types. You must be born again. When you are you will receive A NEW heart and a new Spirit. You will be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind. A new creature.
This was a great video, I agree with what you said Dr. Turek. I have struggled with what I should do or say to someone who has a same-day attraction and this helped. I want them to live a holy life, a life pleasing before the eyes of God along with myself so thank you. Now I know what to say when the time comes.
Excellent answers from the both of you. I am guilty of using Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 when dealing with atheists who claim we Christians hate homosexuals because we don’t believe in their lifestyle. I will continue to tell them and anyone else who asks me about homosexuality that we neither hate nor reject homosexuals but we love them. If people want to cast judgment on me I cannot stop that, but I rest in knowing that God knows my heart and my answer is acceptable to Him even if it’s not acceptable to others.

Everyday as believers we're all called to deny ourselves and take up our cross. It's difficult but it's our calling and the Lord does not leave us to do these things in our own strength
Homosexuality is not a lifestyle, not about sex, not given by any satan. Homosexuality is a natural healthy born orientation with an evolutionary meaning. This man-made religion with their false man-made morals will disappear one day with those who believe in it. Homosexuals then will still go on existing. I wish to every homosexual, that he/she finds a loving partner , marries and raises kinds in responsibility. As a Deist I send you a lot human love :)
Its simple if you think about it, its difficult if you over think it. I don't like the word sin, and I've nothing to suggest there is much weight behind the word salvation.
@@conordelaney76 the Bible uses the word sun over and over again. Churches have stopped preaching about sin and how it is the entire reason we were separated from God and the reason we need a Savior. But we are ALL sinners and that is why only Jesus could save us - the sinless Lamb of God. You might not like it because it makes you uncomfortable but we MUST acknowledge sin and use the word that God uses for it. Sin is deadly serious and if God calls it sin so must we. Sin means to transgress against God or transgress against divine law. There is no other English word that captures the sentiment. But just know we are all sinners and have all fallen short and if you repent and place your trust in Jesus He will save you from your sin.
@@TinkerBell-bt6vu It doesn't make me uncomfortable. The truth is I disagree with the premise. The idea that we are born sinful is both non-sensical (because we haven't engaged in life yet) and unnecessary. God sacrificing his son for sins that haven't been committed yet is a horrendous idea. People make mistakes, such is the nature of humanity. This doesn't mean its sinful. Thankfully there is zero evidence for any of this.
What a great message. I’m glad that I found you on UA-cam. You. Have a wonderful ministry and you know how to answer these questions that these people do not understand. Thank you so much amen.
That’s why Jesus said, “ Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." You see we are all born of flesh, which the flesh is sinful and does not know God. We all have to be born again of water and of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is what will make you a new creation. (Ezekiel 36:26) You are no longer your old self but made a new child of God in Jesus.

I never had same sex attraction, but my sexuality before Christ was what most in today's society consider normal and healthy, but in actuality was kinda dark and perverted.. Once I accepted Christ thru Faith, Trust and Authority.. My sexuality did change, and it did so very QUICKLY without even trying.. I use to on occasion look at pornography, what use to be pleasurable before Christ QUICKLY became disgusting, repulsive and even depressing.. I started to understand almost by pure instinct that sex was not an animal urge or just biology, but a gift and a tool used to bond to your mate.. I know nothing of same sex attraction, gender dysphoria or pedophilia (rot in hell netflix).. But I do know how quickly the spirit and authority of Christ and God can change ones sexuality.. And how in my opinion most sin is carried out thru sexuality..
Society expects us to override our feelings and do the moral thing in almost every other area. If someone makes a person so angry they want to kill them, society says your feelings don’t matter, you are supposed to squash that feeling and be moral. Why they make an exception for same-sex attraction and heterosexual fornication is the real question.
@@samhenry4553 1. To suggest that all people of any group are all behaving exactly the same way is real bigotry. 2. Those homosexuals who ARE just going about their lives and not harming anyone are not even part of the subject of this video. My comment was about the morals discussed in the video. For some reason some people seem to think that they can pick and choose what beliefs they subscribe to and force others to accept it. 3. The real issue is that some activists, (not all homosexuals,) trying to force others to violate their beliefs. 4. There are religions that want to force homosexuals to conform to their beliefs and ideals. This is wrong. Ironically, these activists do not see the hypocrisy of using the same tactics. 5. If this was really about being able to have a nice wedding they wouldn't want to try to force someone to be part of it. If I thought someone just didn't like me personally I would deliberately exclude them from my wedding day. I would never think of trying to force them to be part of it. I wouldn't want them to have my business, let alone be in a position to wreck things. I would go somewhere else to get my cake, flowers and ceremony. 6. You never see these "activists" confront what is undeniably wrong, such those that execute homosexuals who "just try to live their lives", such as Islam. They only try to target those that are just trying to get along in their lives and faith but aren't a real threat.
They want same sex marriages made by the church legal. but if the church refuse they'll get into all kinds of discrminatory trouble. Its really heartbreakin

Sinners who become believers are a new creation in Christ with their personal fellowship with God this means a new lifestyle. What should we do as believers take up our cross and follow Jesus what we’re called to do. Jesus is our High Priest not man or government, if government force us to live a sinful lifestyle we become martyrs for our belief and love for God like Jesus and the Saints in the Bible. Romans 10:9 1 John 1:8-10
@Geo Logist every single person that has gone to hell God did not want them there ... But I dont think that has anything to do with "power", and has everything to do with ones own personal choices.
@Geo Logist When a person places their faith-trust in Christ, God promises their salvation. Part of that trust is not only eternal life but daily help being empowered by Christ to take up our cross. When people live a sinful lifestyle with no remorse to God they are demonstrating they are not saved and haven’t place their faith in Christ. Only God knows who is real and who are the perpetrators, we only know them by their fruit-the way they leave their life.💞

And if you have opposite sex attraction - the same rules apply. You don't entertain certain ideas, you don't fantasies, you don't look at porn, you don't put yourself in situations where the temptation likely to arise. You live out your faith consistently with the Scriptures - regardless of who you are attracted to. It is the difference between choosing the self and the Savior.
Adam was made perfect and because of his sin the whole world is bound by sin, so if you have sinful desire these are not from God nor where the original man created to be sinful
@just repelsteeltje And by "happiness" I'm sure you mean "desire"... That's not what our founders meant by the term. They meant "virtue", and sexual perversions are not virtuous, no matter who engages in them - be they gay or straight. As for your claim regarding "God's own incompetence"... What do you mean by that? What's your argument/claim here? As for your "inbred" snark... We're all related bud. But it is because of sin (corruption/harmful mutations) that you can't marry too close to home. While calling same-sex partnerships "marriage" (which used to be about biology; coitus) is not rational. You are equating your personal desires which are inherently dangerous and serve no greater purpose than 'self' with biological realities that are essential to the survival of the human race and that benefits all of us. Your personal feelings and preferences don't trump the biological and social realities.
The impulse or urge isn't the sin. It's the act of giving in to the sin nature that is sinful. I am attracted to women I'm not married to. That doesn't make it okay for me to sleep with them. Some people have violent tendencies. That doesn't make it okay for them to beat up people who anger them. Kleptomaniacs aren't justified in stealing, etc. etc.
@Firefly You think being in love with someone is the same as killing or robbing? That makes no sense. I think I should put my opinions before your opinions, why shouldn't I? Can you demonstrate that your god is more than an opinion?
@Firefly If you can't demonstrate that your God is actually real beyond the Bible stories, why should anyone care about what your God supposedly instructs? How did you come to the conclusion that you yourself should care about the instructions in the first place, how did you make sure they're not bad instructions?
As an atheist, I disagree. Jesus was an apocalyptic Jewish preacher who was executed long long ago, for blasphemy . The Jesus story was gradually compiled by his followers forty years after his death including the famous miracles which attracted more followers.

The question is wrong. Every person who enters the Church is a sinner and either deals with or represses their thoughts or actions of sin. If an adulterer entered, would we be asking the same question? The thief? etc. Most sinner's sins are hidden and we wouldn't even know by just looking or sitting with them, so why would we mock or exclude homosexuals who willingly come to the Church to learn and love Jesus Christ? He will deal with their hearts and we should welcome and love every person who seeks Him.
This video is a huge eye opener. It deals with exactly your comment and i never thought of it this way. Its true that we tend to think that "oh homosexuals shouldn't go to heaven" but in reality NONE of us should! That is exactly why we need the grace of God and need to accept Jesus into our lives as saviour
Forgive your mother for you resenting her so God can forgive you and return you to your original nature as a Man, a son of God, instead of an effeminate male. You become like that which you resent but you overcome by forgiving. Stand up and speak the truth but don't resent.
@@pastorbri the fact that you have to add the descriptive stipulation that they are a feminine proves that it's not the norm. the norm is the majority and I would say the majority safely represents God's intended plans. you're saying God wouldn't want a masculine male? wrong.

1 Cor 6:9-11 tells us that we cannot continue practicing sin and still inherit heaven. Verse 11 "and that's what some of you were but now you have been washed, sanctified and justified in the name of our Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." At the time of their belief repentance and water baptism they were washed sanctified and justified being added to the Church by God. 12:13.We cannot love Christ and sin at the same time. The mission of the Church is to preach the gospel. And the gospel is not just what Christ did for us but what we must do before God. It requires for us to set aside anything that hinders us to run our race with Christ becoming holy before God. Let's be clear on how Christ's blood saves us and it doesn't save us just because He died and there is absolutely nothing that we must do. This kind of attitude is blasphemy towards scripture, Christ said in John 14:15"if you LOVE me, keep my commandments" so yes we have a role to play in our salvation, it's being faithful to God til death working out our salvation in fear and trembling growing each day in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God wants and has always wanted obedient people. The only way to have a relationship with God is through obedience in Christ. Heb 5:7-9. Our faith,the gospel, is something we hear believe and obey Rom 1:5,16 6:17,16:26. No matter what sin hinders us before God we can overcome if we truly have faith hope and love in Christ. But PRIDE will lead us to hell, let us choose humbleness. God bless you all
@Aron Gladden "unrepented sinners are making it to heaven" now that's your opinion and you are misled. Yes, you must repent in order to go to heaven. The gospel clearly teaches this. You can't have a relationship with God if you don't repent.
@Aron Gladden repentance is part of the gospel. Just as water baptism just as is confession in Christ as the Son of God just as is to believe and it all comes from hearing the word of God, the word of God teaches us the gospel. The gospel is what Christ has done for us at the cross and what we must do in Christ. Christ has left us commandments and we must obey. Luke 13:3,5 talks about needing to repent. With our repentance we are dead in our sins. Repentance is a must without it there is no forgiveness. Luke 24:44-47. You must learn scripture correctly so you are not misled. I praise you for reading it and trying to understand it, it says a lot since you are WILLING to learn God. The gospel which is our faith is something we hear believe and obey. Read the context of Rom 1:16 verse 5. Also 6:17 16:26. The bible is like a puzzle where we try to put it all together to see the whole picture. Our faith and spiritual eyes should be in Christ.
@Aron Gladden 2 Peter 3:9. Like I says you are on the right path in willingly reading and studying scripture. Without repentance there cannot be forgiveness. Read again Luke 13:3,5. 2 Peter 3:9 Acts 17:30. Once again Luke 24:47 repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Christ Himself said it. If you can't understand that pray to God for better guidance.
Aron Gladden You cannot separate true faith from repentance, those are two sides of the same coin. Demons also believe and tremble but they are not saved and won’t see the kingdom of God. With your logic and understanding of faith, demons will also be in heaven. Wrong. “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble!” James 2:19 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26

It’s near impossible for man alone to win the fight against sin which is in fact your own fallen nature!! You need the Holy Spirit in order to have real power against the desires of the flesh!! You may have righteous tendencies and wishes, but ultimately it will get overwhelmingly hard to continue the battle by yourself without the power of the Holy Spirit which is sent by God himself to comfort you!!

@@johnrichards6080 The key point is that this eros romantic love has bounds for proper expression. Other examples being adult/child and human/animal. Neither two men nor two women were designed to express romantic love physically with each other.
@@johnsmit5999 The Greeks celebrated the expression of Eros in male-male relationships. They decided it benefited their society. At the same time, a few days journey to the east, a tribe of Jews decided it was bad for society. Jewish thought > Christian (and Muslim) thought > Roman law > British law/thought > British colonies > you. Your view of what is "proper" is the result of historical events. It's an opinion, not a fact. The love Jesus spoke about transcends culture and gender. Have a look at Corinthians. Modern Christians know what Jesus said. Very few comprehend the all-encompassing love behind the words.
@@hannahc2123 Since you are a Christian, you understand that to become a Christian we must repent and receive the Holy Spirit into our lives, at which point we become a new creation in Christ Jesus. There is probably a biological component to many sins. I consider drinking and drug use. Does this mean we continue to live in sin that grace may abound? Does not that new person in Christ have new desires to walk with God? Scripture says we are in the process of being sanctified and that we abstain from every form of sexual immorality.
I am a 37 year old homosexual male that has a boyfriend and we get a lot of stuff because we do not support certain things in lgbtq+, gay marriage or transgenderism. We do not have sex and are celibate. Every scripture is about acting upon and behavior that is against God not attraction. I hope everyone understands this. I love you! Feel free to ask a question if you want :)
"We're not trying to convert anyone into being ATTRACTED to the opposite sex...just to live a life with the opposite sex..and thus remove all chances of you loving and being loved again". To all you believers out there, how is that moral????
he didn't say anything about living a life with the opposite sex. he said live a holy life. not everyone is destined to be married. in fact paul suggests first to be single, devoting your entire lives to Christ. but if you cannot stay single, then marry. it's the holy word of holy God.
awaeraas how is it moral to put words into Frank’s mouth that he never said? How is it moral to force someone to make your cake or take your wedding photos or you will sue them? How is moral to force homosexuality on anyone and demand they conform or be labeled as a “hater” or a “bigot” or a “homophobe”? If you speak about morals then you need to address these questions and more before you bring a false accusation about something someone never said.
5:52 Frank, you are nullifying the scripture. The statement of 1 Corinthians is to inform us that practicing those sins is a sure sign that you are not going to inherit the kingdom of God. This is people who go beyond the sins of the heart, and live in rebellion to God. The message is clear that anyone who wants to get right with God, must give up these lifestyle sins. When you ignore the main point of that section of scripture in order to combat self-righteousness, you are not rightly handling the word of God and you give an excuse to those who want to live apart from God (in their sin) to be self-deceived.
@@jedclair5782 Exactly what Zap said. In addition 1 Corinthians addresses lifestyles of sin that are accepted by the sinner. You can not be saved and continue in those sins. As expanded in Hebrews 10:26-29 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
The debate is over the correct wording from an invisible, imaginary man invented by a tribe of desert Hebrews, thousands of years ago. Trivial pursuit.

@@urasam2 *OK, so when has any gay person condemned you for any behaviour you display in public?* To be honest, never. Why is that? Because I usually keep to myself and try not to draw unwanted attention to myself. If I talk to someone about God and the bible, I usually pull that person aside and have a private conversation with them because I don't want to risk other people jumping in and trying to distract from the conversation. I want to have a sincere one on one talk with that person and I want to try to understand where they're coming from. Now, I have seen street preachers harassed by "tolerant" homosexuals and pro-homosexual allies for speaking against homosexual behavior and to be honest I would rather not be in such a position because for starters, I don't like being surrounded by people I personally don't know and that appear to want to do me physical harm because they may not agree with what I'm saying.

For the people who fell for franks funky logic. The reason why photographers and bakers should have to also tend to gay marriages is the same reason why restaurants where not allowed to to discriminate against people based on there skin color.
Sin is sin. God will punish unrepentant lost people. Either His son took the punishment on the cross or you will. If your an adulterer, or a liar, or with the same sex, or a thief and the list goes on, and think it's ok and have no struggles with any of those sins and live your life in sin you will go to the lake of fire. I would suggest seeking Him and repenting or don't He gives us a choice. The thing I don't get is why alot of churches today want to twist Gods scriptures to justify same sex relationships and have a gay revisionist theology. What's next murder is ok, or stealing if you really need it? I actually had a pastor tell me I was a vile homophobe because I believe God says it's wrong. This is the state of the church today. Very sad. People definitely still hate truth today just like when Jesus was walking this earth. That's why they murdered Him. Nothing's changed except the date and the way we dress.
Does God punish lost people for not knowing him or does he seek them out? You already have flaws in your argument that contradicts scripture. Brush up on your theology and word choice.
@@matteo7241 I believe God offers salvation and we have the free will to reject it. He doesn't force anyone to except salvation. There will be no excuses. Roman's 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. nasb.
If there truly is a punishment to be deserved then it should go to them not another. Accepting a scapegoat and not accountability doesn't sound righteous. So it i should be able to be so righteous then I shall accept the due punishment. If that punishment is too harsh to consider that position reasonable then the righteousness of the judge might be in question
What? Everyone is welcome? Any person claiming to be a Christian and is practicing homosexuality should be disciplined by the Church. They need to repent before coming back to the church.
Also, someone who is practicing homosexuality and is struggling with are are two different people. One has given in to their sin and the other is actively fighting against it. Frank was saying that anyone who has the attraction is welcome but if someone is practicing sin and calls it the opposite, THEY are to be expelled

I guess you could say it is like asking someone to sober up before letting them into an A.A. meeting, which would be tragic of course. I've been in those rooms when new people arrive and it can be uncomfortable or down right sickening but so necessary for the drunken alcoholic. Today though, I am aware of salvation and know there will be many sober alcoholics in hell. My point was only a comparison of sins. The thing is here, is the willingness to not follow your sin whatever it may be.... The Lord has relieved me of so many of the holds that sin had upon me, not all of them but many. I have been slowly transformed over the past 14 years because of Christ and sometimes in spite of my unwillingness. This transformation in me is still on going but has moved from the complete removal of many sins to a slower refining of others. True Christians are all works in progress and completion will not happen until Christ's meeting with us in the clouds. One of my shortcomings is the acceptance of the homosexual which has only come a short way in the past 14 years because of my own resistance. Please pray for me also not to be so self righteous toward homosexuals. Please pray for me to hate the sin and not the sinner.
What makes it our business (besides the fact that homosexuals have made it our business) is that we wish not to see anyone perish in hell because of their sins whatever the sin maybe. According to the bible, Christians are commanded to go into the world, preach the gospel, make disciples, and preach the ugly truth to a dying world filled with lies.
spiritualthinker2 Two thoughts then: in what way have Gay people made it your business? And why on Earth would God need you to do his PR work for him? I thought he was supposed to be omnipotent and omnipresent, so should be a piece of cake for him to talk directly to the gay community if he’s that bothered
@@urasam2 1) Homosexuals have made it everyone else's businesses by taking over many important faucets of society (education, entertainment, politics, etc.) in order to normalize their life style. 2) God doesn't need me nor anyone else to do His PR work. Also, its not that He needs us to do anything but He has commanded those that believe Him to spread the word...which we should if it means bringing people to the knowledge and saving grace of Christ Jesus. I don't know where you've been but God is talking to the homosexual community via the human conscience and by His disciples who are spreading the good news.
@Nick Gagnon I'm convinced that homosexuals (generally speaking) don't want acceptance or tolerance. They want unquestioning submission and obedience. Regardless of what they do, it is getting dangerously to the point that they're not allowed to be criticized publicly. Is that what they mean by acceptance?
@Steve Bingham not really. The only proper answer would be "I don't know". Science makes it's best conclusions based on observable evidence, and in doing so will sometimes prove it's previous conclusions wrong as it seeks facts and reality. Religion just believes stuff, and in doing so never has to admit it's wrong, no matter how wrong it can be.
How do you know what reality is? Do you believe things just because mere humans purport them to be fact? At least what we believe gives us an ultimate basis for why we follow morality.
@@dog_curry how do you know what reality is? Do you believe in god just because mere humans purport it to exist? Humans ultimately created the God myth to give the impressionable yet less intelligent among us a sense of moral compass, for the social development. The non thinking believer types still need this.
@@robertlewis9132 I have faith that the words of the Bible aren't from humans but from God, so it's not the same thing. How do you know humans created God as a myth? And are you saying intelligent people don't need a moral compass, and those who do are not intelligent? How insulting. Why do non believers need a moral compass anyway? After all, what they think is moral is just their opinion.
@Steve Bingham you can't deal with rational people pointing out Frank's appalling stance on homosexuality. So you tapdance your way out of it by blathering about the origin of the universe. Just pathetic.
In a nutshell, God does not change, period.. otherwise if he does he is a liar an is not a benevolent God...

Hits the nail on the head. The goal is not to change one who is a gay Christian into being straight, but to abstain from acting upon their sexual desires. This is NO different than the expectation God has for Heterosexuals to remain chaste before marriage and faithful afterwards. Somce may say then, but what about gays not permitted by God to marry as same sex couples? That is a sacrifice to Christ that is not exclusive to gay christian, but straight christian as well who are unable or cannot find a suitable Christian partner to marry, but are obliged to remain single. It is incumbent on both straight and gay Christians to abide the law of chastity i f they truly wish to follow Christ, who himself perfect, did suffer temptations so as to have empathy and compassion for us sinners who are not perfect.
Does your God allow masturbation? I've been practicing masturbation ever since I was ten years old. Now I'm 72 and never had sex or married. What is your personal opinion on this?
The road to salvation is a narrow path and few will find it. Many in this world will choose the wide road to destruction. So yes, the sad truth is that many in that room will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Homosexuality is not a lifestyle, not about sex, not given by any satan. Homosexuality is a natural healthy born orientation with an evolutionary meaning. This man-made religion with their false man-made morals will disappear one day with those who believe in it. Homosexuals then will still go on existing. I wish to every homosexual, that he/she finds a loving partner , marries and raises kinds in responsibility. As a Deist I send you a lot human love :)
Jesus is a powerful Savior and whom He came to save He will save and nothing can stop Him. Trust in God and it may take a long time but He will change us and He will save us. That is His promise to His Sheep and Jesus keeps His promises.
I agree but the difference is like what he said before the covetous the thief is not saying them being covetous or stealing or any of the other works is not a sin and we need to except them. The government has not validated the thief or murderer and said these acts are not wrong and covetous people have not created their own Bibles and started their own churches.....that’s the difference but yes all have come short and all are called to repentance
I'm a 18 yrs boy,I have decided to follow Christ with all my heart, that's why I stopped watching anything pertaining to gay/porns since I was 16,,
I can proudly say that I'm an ex-gay, not because I feel straight, but because Lord JESUS CHRIST has redeemed me, yes, I must be honest that the gay thoughts are still coming,but I believe those are just temptations from satan.
Please pray for me through this spiritual battle. ❤️❤️ I know JESUS is for me and with me. Thank you
The temptations in your mind are the words of the enemy, they are not your thoughts. It's just the enemy using the word "I" instead of "you" "I like those things." "I am attracted to this." At least that's what helped me.
Ex-gay doesn't exist. You still have gay thoughts because you're still gay; why can't you just accept that? I feel so sorry for you that you've felt as if you've have to "change" yourself just to suit God that, believe it or not, didn't have a problem with you to begin with.

I left islam and became agnostic/atheist then last year, i fall in love with jesus christ and became christian but i still never understood why would god make homosexuality count as something bad.
i had a friend who is gay and i asked him long time ago about it and he said that he cant get attracted to girls and that he had feelings towards other boys since he was young.
that made me look at it in a different way although back then i was still a muslim and islam treats homosexuals with death penalty while christianty does not teach that as far as i know but still i never could understand why would homosexuality count as a sin, as if it is something terrible and evil like murder or rape or deception ...
I like that she had a genuine question about homosexuality💯 When most people bring up homosexuality and the church, they are usually closed-minded and just trying to hate on Christianity.
Amen to that 👍
Yes, exactly. There is a number of other sins which the Bible , they just want to make Christian's look bad.
Amen
Agreed. That was probably an understatement.
God Bless! ✌🥰✝️
She seemed pretty close minded to me. Not open to the fact that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Closed off to anything that the Bible doesn't agree with.
The fact that hundreds of all these atheists come to ask questions from this one man to me shows that Jesus is truly the way. I mean, have y’all ever seen this many Christians come to atheists with all these questions and attempts to debunk atheism? I’ve never seen it 🤣 GOD IS GOOD
Whether they come out believing or not, I'm still happy for them.
They genuinely are concerned and want to know more and gain wisdom, advise and knowledge.
Or if it's none of those, I'm happy that they're there, either way.
Whether they believe or not, that's God's will, not ours.
God bless them and God bless you.
Exactly if you don't believe in something leave it at that with no question. Yet they are there to get the truth that may change their thought of mind.
Hmmmmmm..... Very good point.
That is interesting, The Holy Spirit has revealed this to you.
Yes, the difference between followers of Christ and atheists are followers of Christ are confident of their faith, whereas atheists are unsure so they try to refute Christianity to feel more secure in their faith.
“ This is not a soundbite answer; this is a conversation.“ What a great answer! We must reach people on an individual basis.
It's not about gay to straight, it's about lost to saved!
I would also advise anyone suffering through habitual sin (of any kind) is to FAST and PRAY!! We all need deliverance! Get on your face before God and fast and pray--and Jesus will set you free! The closer you to are to God the farther you are from sin. I'd rather be at war with my sin than a slave to it! Keep fighting the good fight!

@Jonathan Hughes We KNOW Yahuah.
if only homophobics would ask to be dilivered
Lets remember that homosexuality is not any more sinful than adultery/fornication. Everyone should be allowed in church if they're struggling with this. If they are saying its not a sin though (or that they can sin and don't have to repent) then that's an issue. If I had children I would never excommunicate them either. Everyone needs their family unit and if family excommunicates them then they will only go deeper into sin. Keep praying, and keep believing for the breakthrough.

The best answer I've ever heard to this question is given by Jackie Hill Perry.

Her story is something else. She's an amazing pastor no matter what she's talking about.
A female pastor? What!!!!!
There were once two evangelist on my college campus and I didn't know how to feel about them. Were they preaching love or were they faking it. I am christian and struggle with same sex attraction. I wanted to test them and see if their hearts where in the right place. I told one of them that I was gay and would like to talk about what the Bible says about it. He pulled out a pen and paper and was prepared to make lunch arrangements. I knew that this person was genuinely out there to form relationships and talk to people about the Gospel. If your goal is only to convert people and not for relationships then your missing something. If a christian won't sit and eat with an unbeliever then that's an issue. We are called to go and tell everyone about Jesus. Even Jesus sat and ate with unbelievers.
Amen!
Jesus did discipleship. In Matthew 28: 19 to go and make disciples of people.
I like how he made it clear that the congregation is to work together to bring people into a holyness.
And through that the changes will take place with Christ's help.
but homophobics refuse to change
I also liked how he pointed that out. So many people think that Christianity can be a solo thing. We are meant to live in community with one another and there are so many parts of scripture that explain how we each have gifts but they are meant to be used as a whole. We are but single parts of a body and each is utterly important to the other and we're not meant to be solo Christians. And it isn't talked about enough and so I also like that he talked about that

Excellent answers from the both of you. I am guilty of using Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 when dealing with atheists who claim we Christians hate homosexuals because we don’t believe in their lifestyle. I will continue to tell them and anyone else who asks me about homosexuality that we neither hate nor reject homosexuals but we love them. If people want to cast judgment on me I cannot stop that, but I rest in knowing that God knows my heart and my answer is acceptable to Him even if it’s not acceptable to others.

The concept of sin and salvation is both simple and difficult.
Its simple if you think about it, its difficult if you over think it.
I don't like the word sin, and I've nothing to suggest there is much weight behind the word salvation.
@@conordelaney76 the Bible uses the word sun over and over again. Churches have stopped preaching about sin and how it is the entire reason we were separated from God and the reason we need a Savior. But we are ALL sinners and that is why only Jesus could save us - the sinless Lamb of God. You might not like it because it makes you uncomfortable but we MUST acknowledge sin and use the word that God uses for it. Sin is deadly serious and if God calls it sin so must we. Sin means to transgress against God or transgress against divine law. There is no other English word that captures the sentiment. But just know we are all sinners and have all fallen short and if you repent and place your trust in Jesus He will save you from your sin.
@@TinkerBell-bt6vu It doesn't make me uncomfortable. The truth is I disagree with the premise. The idea that we are born sinful is both non-sensical (because we haven't engaged in life yet) and unnecessary. God sacrificing his son for sins that haven't been committed yet is a horrendous idea.

That’s why Jesus said, “ Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." You see we are all born of flesh, which the flesh is sinful and does not know God. We all have to be born again of water and of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is what will make you a new creation. (Ezekiel 36:26) You are no longer your old self but made a new child of God in Jesus.
All Christians must fight against the sin that squats inside them, which flavour of sin one must fight against is unimportant.

James Richard Wiley and most scientists believe in the multiverse with less proof and mathematically and scientifically less probably then an intelligent creator
I never had same sex attraction, but my sexuality before Christ was what most in today's society consider normal and healthy, but in actuality was kinda dark and perverted.. Once I accepted Christ thru Faith, Trust and Authority.. My sexuality did change, and it did so very QUICKLY without even trying.. I use to on occasion look at pornography, what use to be pleasurable before Christ QUICKLY became disgusting, repulsive and even depressing.. I started to understand almost by pure instinct that sex was not an animal urge or just biology, but a gift and a tool used to bond to your mate..
I know nothing of same sex attraction, gender dysphoria or pedophilia (rot in hell netflix).. But I do know how quickly the spirit and authority of Christ and God can change ones sexuality.. And how in my opinion most sin is carried out thru sexuality..

Society expects us to override our feelings and do the moral thing in almost every other area. If someone makes a person so angry they want to kill them, society says your feelings don’t matter, you are supposed to squash that feeling and be moral. Why they make an exception for same-sex attraction and heterosexual fornication is the real question.
Uh yeah… because you murdering someone is killing them. Gay people aren’t harming anyone they just try to live their lives
@@samhenry4553 1. To suggest that all people of any group are all behaving exactly the same way is real bigotry. 2. Those homosexuals who ARE just going about their lives and not harming anyone are not even part of the subject of this video. My comment was about the morals discussed in the video. For some reason some people seem to think that they can pick and choose what beliefs they subscribe to and force others to accept it. 3. The real issue is that some activists, (not all homosexuals,) trying to force others to violate their beliefs. 4. There are religions that want to force homosexuals to conform to their beliefs and ideals. This is wrong. Ironically, these activists do not see the hypocrisy of using the same tactics. 5. If this was really about being able to have a nice wedding they wouldn't want to try to force someone to be part of it. If I thought someone just didn't like me personally I would deliberately exclude them from my wedding day. I would never think of trying to force them to be part of it. I wouldn't want them to have my business, let alone be in a position to wreck things. I would go somewhere else to get my cake, flowers and ceremony. 6. You never see these "activists" confront what is undeniably wrong, such those that execute homosexuals who "just try to live their lives", such as Islam. They only try to target those that are just trying to get along in their lives and faith but aren't a real threat.
They are harming themselves, literally 80% of HIV positive are from MSM (men who sleep with men) just check any AIDs organization

Sinners who become believers are a new creation in Christ with their personal fellowship with God this means a new lifestyle. What should we do as believers take up our cross and follow Jesus what we’re called to do. Jesus is our High Priest not man or government, if government force us to live a sinful lifestyle we become martyrs for our belief and love for God like Jesus and the Saints in the Bible.

@Geo Logist every single person that has gone to hell God did not want them there ... But I dont think that has anything to do with "power", and has everything to do with ones own personal choices.
@Geo Logist
When a person places their faith-trust in Christ, God promises their salvation. Part of that trust is not only eternal life but daily help being empowered by Christ to take up our cross. When people live a sinful lifestyle with no remorse to God they are demonstrating they are not saved and haven’t place their faith in Christ. Only God knows who is real and who are the perpetrators, we only know them by their fruit-the way they leave their life.💞

And if you have opposite sex attraction - the same rules apply. You don't entertain certain ideas, you don't fantasies, you don't look at porn, you don't put yourself in situations where the temptation likely to arise. You live out your faith consistently with the Scriptures - regardless of who you are attracted to. It is the difference between choosing the self and the Savior.
Adam was made perfect and because of his sin the whole world is bound by sin, so if you have sinful desire these are not from God nor where the original man created to be sinful

And by "happiness" I'm sure you mean "desire"... That's not what our founders meant by the term. They meant "virtue", and sexual perversions are not virtuous, no matter who engages in them - be they gay or straight.
As for your claim regarding "God's own incompetence"... What do you mean by that? What's your argument/claim here?
As for your "inbred" snark... We're all related bud. But it is because of sin (corruption/harmful mutations) that you can't marry too close to home. While calling same-sex partnerships "marriage" (which used to be about biology; coitus) is not rational. You are equating your personal desires which are inherently dangerous and serve no greater purpose than 'self' with biological realities that are essential to the survival of the human race and that benefits all of us. Your personal feelings and preferences don't trump the biological and social realities.
Wow got me at the end.
The impulse or urge isn't the sin. It's the act of giving in to the sin nature that is sinful. I am attracted to women I'm not married to. That doesn't make it okay for me to sleep with them. Some people have violent tendencies. That doesn't make it okay for them to beat up people who anger them. Kleptomaniacs aren't justified in stealing, etc. etc.
But if two gay people are single and fall in love and want to be together, what could possibly make it wrong?
@Firefly You think being in love with someone is the same as killing or robbing? That makes no sense.
I think I should put my opinions before your opinions, why shouldn't I? Can you demonstrate that your god is more than an opinion?
@Firefly He's obviously a troll. Pearls before Swine.
@Firefly but same sex marriage is legal does that make it ok?
@Firefly If you can't demonstrate that your God is actually real beyond the Bible stories, why should anyone care about what your God supposedly instructs? How did you come to the conclusion that you yourself should care about the instructions in the first place, how did you make sure they're not bad instructions?
That’s right brother, that’s the truth. Without Jesus Christ, there literally is no hope, period. Thank you Jesus, you are lord .☝🏼🙏🏼

A church that supports homosexuality is a fake church
@@westham5370 every church is a fake church

The question is wrong. Every person who enters the Church is a sinner and either deals with or represses their thoughts or actions of sin. If an adulterer entered, would we be asking the same question? The thief? etc. Most sinner's sins are hidden and we wouldn't even know by just looking or sitting with them, so why would we mock or exclude homosexuals who willingly come to the Church to learn and love Jesus Christ? He will deal with their hearts and we should welcome and love every person who seeks Him.
This video is a huge eye opener. It deals with exactly your comment and i never thought of it this way. Its true that we tend to think that "oh homosexuals shouldn't go to heaven" but in reality NONE of us should! That is exactly why we need the grace of God and need to accept Jesus into our lives as saviour
Forgive your mother for you resenting her so God can forgive you and return you to your original nature as a Man, a son of God, instead of an effeminate male.

This is teaching 1 Corinthians 13 agape'. Amen brothers. 💗
1 Cor 6:9-11 tells us that we cannot continue practicing sin and still inherit heaven. Verse 11 "and that's what some of you were but now you have been washed, sanctified and justified in the name of our Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." At the time of their belief repentance and water baptism they were washed sanctified and justified being added to the Church by God. 12:13.We cannot love Christ and sin at the same time. The mission of the Church is to preach the gospel. And the gospel is not just what Christ did for us but what we must do before God. It requires for us to set aside anything that hinders us to run our race with Christ becoming holy before God. Let's be clear on how Christ's blood saves us and it doesn't save us just because He died and there is absolutely nothing that we must do. This kind of attitude is blasphemy towards scripture, Christ said in John 14:15"if you LOVE me, keep my commandments" so yes we have a role to play in our salvation, it's being faithful to God til death working out our salvation in fear and trembling growing each day in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God wants and has always wanted obedient people. The only way to have a relationship with God is through obedience in Christ. Heb 5:7-9. Our faith,the gospel, is something we hear believe and obey Rom 1:5,16 6:17,16:26. No matter what sin hinders us before God we can overcome if we truly have faith hope and love in Christ. But PRIDE will lead us to hell, let us choose humbleness. God bless you all
@Aron Gladden yes it does say kingdom however that kingdom is ultimately heaven and eternal life.
@Aron Gladden "unrepented sinners are making it to heaven" now that's your opinion and you are misled. Yes, you must repent in order to go to heaven. The gospel clearly teaches this. You can't have a relationship with God if you don't repent.
@Aron Gladden repentance is part of the gospel. Just as water baptism just as is confession in Christ as the Son of God just as is to believe and it all comes from hearing the word of God, the word of God teaches us the gospel. The gospel is what Christ has done for us at the cross and what we must do in Christ. Christ has left us commandments and we must obey. Luke 13:3,5 talks about needing to repent. With our repentance we are dead in our sins. Repentance is a must without it there is no forgiveness. Luke 24:44-47. You must learn scripture correctly so you are not misled. I praise you for reading it and trying to understand it, it says a lot since you are WILLING to learn God. The gospel which is our faith is something we hear believe and obey. Read the context of Rom 1:16 verse 5. Also 6:17 16:26. The bible is like a puzzle where we try to put it all together to see the whole picture. Our faith and spiritual eyes should be in Christ.
@Aron Gladden 2 Peter 3:9. Like I says you are on the right path in willingly reading and studying scripture. Without repentance there cannot be forgiveness. Read again Luke 13:3,5. 2 Peter 3:9 Acts 17:30. Once again Luke 24:47 repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Christ Himself said it. If you can't understand that pray to God for better guidance.
Aron Gladden You cannot separate true faith from repentance, those are two sides of the same coin. Demons also believe and tremble but they are not saved and won’t see the kingdom of God. With your logic and understanding of faith, demons will also be in heaven. Wrong.
“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble!” James 2:19
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26

Frank Turek talks so much utter drivel that it is impossible to address the sheer volume of nonsense that he spouts here.
But one point that needs to be made is that he should keep his smug, puritanical, bigoted, ignorant, sanctimonious nose out of other peoples business.
It’s near impossible for man alone to win the fight against sin which is in fact your own fallen nature!! You need the Holy Spirit in order to have real power against the desires of the flesh!! You may have righteous tendencies and wishes, but ultimately it will get overwhelmingly hard to continue the battle by yourself without the power of the Holy Spirit which is sent by God himself to comfort you!!
*_John 3.16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”_*

Does not that new person in Christ have new desires to walk with God? Scripture says we are in the process of being sanctified and that we abstain from every form of sexual immorality.

5:52 Frank, you are nullifying the scripture. The statement of 1 Corinthians is to inform us that practicing those sins is a sure sign that you are not going to inherit the kingdom of God. This is people who go beyond the sins of the heart, and live in rebellion to God. The message is clear that anyone who wants to get right with God, must give up these lifestyle sins. When you ignore the main point of that section of scripture in order to combat self-righteousness, you are not rightly handling the word of God and you give an excuse to those who want to live apart from God (in their sin) to be self-deceived.
Hello, I saw your comment, but I am having trouble understanding what you mean. What excuse that Frank is giving them?
@@jedclair5782 Exactly what Zap said.
In addition 1 Corinthians addresses lifestyles of sin that are accepted by the sinner. You can not be saved and continue in those sins. As expanded in Hebrews 10:26-29 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

I want to have a sincere one on one talk with that person and I want to try to understand where they're coming from. Now, I have seen street preachers harassed by "tolerant" homosexuals and pro-homosexual allies for speaking against homosexual behavior and to be honest I would rather not be in such a position because for starters, I don't like being surrounded by people I personally don't know and that appear to want to do me physical harm because they may not agree with what I'm saying.
Not really especially if it's in the Will of God (Yep I said it)

“Lifestyle”
homophobia is the real lifestyle of sin
For the people who fell for franks funky logic. The reason why photographers and bakers should have to also tend to gay marriages is the same reason why restaurants where not allowed to to discriminate against people based on there skin color.
I agree. As long as the customer respects the business and makes the transaction easy, there should be no reason to refuse them.
Sin is sin. God will punish unrepentant lost people. Either His son took the punishment on the cross or you will. If your an adulterer, or a liar, or with the same sex, or a thief and the list goes on, and think it's ok and have no struggles with any of those sins and live your life in sin you will go to the lake of fire. I would suggest seeking Him and repenting or don't He gives us a choice. The thing I don't get is why alot of churches today want to twist Gods scriptures to justify same sex relationships and have a gay revisionist theology. What's next murder is ok, or stealing if you really need it? I actually had a pastor tell me I was a vile homophobe because I believe God says it's wrong. This is the state of the church today. Very sad. People definitely still hate truth today just like when Jesus was walking this earth. That's why they murdered Him. Nothing's changed except the date and the way we dress.
Does God punish lost people for not knowing him or does he seek them out? You already have flaws in your argument that contradicts scripture. Brush up on your theology and word choice.
@@matteo7241 I believe God offers salvation and we have the free will to reject it. He doesn't force anyone to except salvation. There will be no excuses. Roman's 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. nasb.
@@matteo7241 what flaws in my argument that contradicts Gods word?
If there truly is a punishment to be deserved then it should go to them not another. Accepting a scapegoat and not accountability doesn't sound righteous. So it i should be able to be so righteous then I shall accept the due punishment. If that punishment is too harsh to consider that position reasonable then the righteousness of the judge might be in question
then why don't many homophobics repent
Amen!!
What? Everyone is welcome? Any person claiming to be a Christian and is practicing homosexuality should be disciplined by the Church. They need to repent before coming back to the church.
Also, someone who is practicing homosexuality and is struggling with are are two different people. One has given in to their sin and the other is actively fighting against it. Frank was saying that anyone who has the attraction is welcome but if someone is practicing sin and calls it the opposite, THEY are to be expelled
@@timothyjahaziel2063 Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
I guess you could say it is like asking someone to sober up before letting them into an A.A. meeting, which would be tragic of course. I've been in those rooms when new people arrive and it can be uncomfortable or down right sickening but so necessary for the drunken alcoholic. Today though, I am aware of salvation and know there will be many sober alcoholics in hell. My point was only a comparison of sins.
The thing is here, is the willingness to not follow your sin whatever it may be.... The Lord has relieved me of so many of the holds that sin had upon me, not all of them but many. I have been slowly transformed over the past 14 years because of Christ and sometimes in spite of my unwillingness. This transformation in me is still on going but has moved from the complete removal of many sins to a slower refining of others. True Christians are all works in progress and completion will not happen until Christ's meeting with us in the clouds.
One of my shortcomings is the acceptance of the homosexual which has only come a short way in the past 14 years because of my own resistance. Please pray for me also not to be so self righteous toward homosexuals. Please pray for me to hate the sin and not the sinner.
Hey - Christians! Speaking here as an atheist, may I ask a question? What business is it of anybody what sexuality somebody is?
What makes it our business (besides the fact that homosexuals have made it our business) is that we wish not to see anyone perish in hell because of their sins whatever the sin maybe. According to the bible, Christians are commanded to go into the world, preach the gospel, make disciples, and preach the ugly truth to a dying world filled with lies.
spiritualthinker2 Two thoughts then: in what way have Gay people made it your business? And why on Earth would God need you to do his PR work for him? I thought he was supposed to be omnipotent and omnipresent, so should be a piece of cake for him to talk directly to the gay community if he’s that bothered
@@urasam2
1) Homosexuals have made it everyone else's businesses by taking over many important faucets of society (education, entertainment, politics, etc.) in order to normalize their life style.
2) God doesn't need me nor anyone else to do His PR work. Also, its not that He needs us to do anything but He has commanded those that believe Him to spread the word...which we should if it means bringing people to the knowledge and saving grace of Christ Jesus.
I don't know where you've been but God is talking to the homosexual community via the human conscience and by His disciples who are spreading the good news.
@@spiritualthinker2 Homosexuality isn't a lifestyle.
@Nick Gagnon I'm convinced that homosexuals (generally speaking) don't want acceptance or tolerance. They want unquestioning submission and obedience. Regardless of what they do, it is getting dangerously to the point that they're not allowed to be criticized publicly. Is that what they mean by acceptance?
How about just accepting reality instead of this hokey pie-in-the-sky made up silliness.
@Steve Bingham not really. The only proper answer would be "I don't know". Science makes it's best conclusions based on observable evidence, and in doing so will sometimes prove it's previous conclusions wrong as it seeks facts and reality.
Religion just believes stuff, and in doing so never has to admit it's wrong, no matter how wrong it can be.
How do you know what reality is? Do you believe things just because mere humans purport them to be fact? At least what we believe gives us an ultimate basis for why we follow morality.
@@dog_curry how do you know what reality is? Do you believe in god just because mere humans purport it to exist? Humans ultimately created the God myth to give the impressionable yet less intelligent among us a sense of moral compass, for the social development. The non thinking believer types still need this.
@@robertlewis9132 I have faith that the words of the Bible aren't from humans but from God, so it's not the same thing. How do you know humans created God as a myth? And are you saying intelligent people don't need a moral compass, and those who do are not intelligent? How insulting. Why do non believers need a moral compass anyway? After all, what they think is moral is just their opinion.
@Steve Bingham you can't deal with rational people pointing out Frank's appalling stance on homosexuality. So you tapdance your way out of it by blathering about the origin of the universe.
Just pathetic.
That's it, "claiming to be Christians". And it's all about Authentic Christianity vs. counterfeit christianity.
Jesus was a flaming homosexual he loves his fellow little boys, Just like the priests
Catholicism isn't Christianity it's Roman Paganism.
In a nutshell, God does not change, period.. otherwise if he does he is a liar an is not a benevolent God... That said...If your church is preaching Inclusion without repentance, that is an Apostate church and it is coming and is already in the so called "Church" Satan is not after the church dear hearts, No rather Satan is in the bride and at it's highest level as to twist the gospel just enough to deceive most, hold on to what you have and don't sell it at any price.....Satan is in the church and is after what she the bride is giving birth to that is the very elect of God....
These comments are scary and expose just how prejudiced this country really is, especially Christian's. Judge not lest you be judged!!!
Hate the sin; love the sinner. It's not that hard.
My coworker is opposite sex i did let him know the Christ die for his sins and God loves him.
“Disobedience”
Amen
Follow the Words of Almighty God and not those of failed mankind.
Man wrote the bible.
@@conordelaney76 mankind inspired by the Word of God and in many places God and Jesus wrote that which is in the Bible Themselves! Now, a man who came in his own name muhammad he wrote the qur'an inspired by Satan himself!
@@cornellhoward3757 Mankind inspired by the word of Allah and in many places Allah and Muhammed wrote that which is in the Quran themselves!
Do you see how unhelpful this is?
@@conordelaney76 you are playing games with yourself, there's only One Almighty God and He has a Son named Jesus this Almighty God didn't send any so called prophet named muhammad to this earth; when we leave this world we will stand before Jesus, there will be no allah or muhammad there only Jesus. So you and others should stop fooling yourselves for all of our lives or in the balance as Jesus will judge all of us, when I stop breathing due to an accident my soul was taken to heaven I met Jesus there wasn't noooo muhammad or Allah but Jesus He was there and it's that same Jesus all of us will meet when we die so stop playing with yourself Repent!
@@cornellhoward3757 How do you know there is a God, and that it is the specific God you claim?
Huntsville that close to me
Hits the nail on the head. The goal is not to change one who is a gay Christian into being straight, but to abstain from acting upon their sexual desires. This is NO different than the expectation God has for Heterosexuals to remain chaste before marriage and faithful afterwards. Somce may say then, but what about gays not permitted by God to marry as same sex couples? That is a sacrifice to Christ that is not exclusive to gay christian, but straight christian as well who are unable or cannot find a suitable Christian partner to marry, but are obliged to remain single. It is incumbent on both straight and gay Christians to abide the law of chastity i f they truly wish to follow Christ, who himself perfect, did suffer temptations so as to have empathy and compassion for us sinners who are not perfect.
Does your God allow masturbation?
I've been practicing masturbation ever since I was ten years old. Now I'm 72 and never had sex or married.
What is your personal opinion on this?
The road to salvation is a narrow path and few will find it. Many in this world will choose the wide road to destruction. So yes, the sad truth is that many in that room will not inherit the kingdom of God.
oh Karen
Homosexuality is not a lifestyle, not about sex, not given by any satan. Homosexuality is a natural healthy born orientation with an evolutionary meaning. This man-made religion with their false man-made morals will disappear one day with those who believe in it.
Homosexuals then will still go on existing.
I wish to every homosexual, that he/she finds a loving partner , marries and raises kinds in responsibility.
As a Deist I send you a lot human love :)
I Cor 6:9-11 plaques me for years as a Christian.
Jesus is a powerful Savior and whom He came to save He will save and nothing can stop Him. Trust in God and it may take a long time but He will change us and He will save us. That is His promise to His Sheep and Jesus keeps His promises.
Amen 🙌🙌🙌
Do you have official Books inform of an App
As in on playstore.
I agree but the difference is like what he said before the covetous the thief is not saying them being covetous or stealing or any of the other works is not a sin and we need to except them. The government has not validated the thief or murderer and said these acts are not wrong and covetous people have not created their own Bibles and started their own churches.....that’s the difference but yes all have come short and all are called to repentance
