I just came out as a lesbian to my family; and it went horribly, causing me to doubt myself and honestly really send me down a spiral of depression- I really needed this. Thank you.
Im glad our video could help you a little. Im leaving a link to another which might help you deal with that homophobia from your family. But please know that you're loved by so many and we're all here for you. This channel is a safe place for LGBTQ so come here whenever and however often you need.
You are so brave
Cool they agreed with who I loved (I’m bi) and don’t agree with who I am (non binary) but yeah be awesome oh wait- you are already are
I hope you are doing okay!! I’m a bisexual Christian and I’m still very scared to come out even though I’ve watched millions of videos and talked with many people who also say being gay isn’t a sin. I really hope you are doing okay now, and if you aren’t, just know that it eventually will be. People will either accept you, or people will come into your life who accept you, and if they can’t accept you, they don’t deserve you. I’ll be praying for your safety and for your family’s change of heart. God bless❤️
Your family reacted well :))
Ah this is going into the playlist "show grandma"
Same
LOL HAHAH
Lol
Same
Ah Yes, definitely. Thank you for reminding me, it will be easier to tell my family that I'm lesbian.☺
my young women's book says “homosexual and lesbian behavior is a serious sin”. its painful. i remember reading that sentence for the first time and bursting into tears.
It’s NOT a sin. I promise you that, god shaped you into who you are today. He created you as you are, you are VALID
It is NOT as sin! God has you in his Image and if being lgbt is who you are, then it is who you are!
@@Mal-ou8yl Thank you so much for saying that. I have been personally struggling with being lgbtq and being a Christian.
My church has pamphlets that they hand out to all of the girls and guys that basically tell you that your disgusting and going to burn if you are gay. Sometimes those still get to me and I hide in the bathroom and cry. I remember praying that I would stop liking girls.... I remember having breakdowns while I reread those pamphlets.. I have major religious trauma from this, god loves me.. I know that.
@@Spooky-ww6vh Dont let them get to you. Be you. They didnt make you, god did.
I believe in God and Jesus. I go to church, and pray to God and love him.
If God hates LGBTQ people, then why did he make them..? God loves everyone, he loves you if you’re in the LGBTQ community.
No, it’s not a sin.
God loves you, he doesn’t hate you.
Be gay
Be asexual
Be demisexual
Be bisexual
Be lesbian
BE
PRIDEFUL
AND
SHOW

God loves you.
And he always will.
I’m bisexual and demisexual and I believe and love God.

TTG Ruffle Same.
PRECISELY
This comment made my day
TTG Ruffle really ?? So why are people Interested in Caring if someone is st or gay.
YOU ARE RİGHT! BİBLE AND JESUS TOLD US TO LOVE UNCONDİTİONALLY
I started to question my sexuality when i was starting high school, like i felt a little crush on my 'Straight' Girl bestfriends and i was scared for admitting because growing up i believed that being a part of LGBTQ+ was a sin, So i forced myself to change which i did, i had a boyfriend and all but we broke up. Recently during quarantine i was talking to one of my closest girl besties and she admitted that she has a crush on me, Ive experience a lot of confession from straight guys but hearing it from a girl and surprisingly was also my bestfriend just hits different, I felt happy but the fear i felt when i started having a little crush on girls Strucked me again, I wanted to tell her 'I like you too' but i held my feelings because i was scared....Until now I'm still closeted and no plans on telling my parents because i came from a really religious family and i was terrified by just thinking that they might disown or won't accept me, I didn't want to be bisexual...I keep telling myself 'Gurl you straight' it hurts me denying who i truly am because I don't want to be hated...When i was really confused about my sexuality i cried i wanted to slap myself and snap out of it but never worked, I'm a Christian and i believe in God.
I know it's been three months but don't be afraid to love people of the same gender. What's wrong is denying who you are. You don't have to tell your parents.
Aww there's nothing wrong with liking the same gender trust me. It's not a sin and for anybody who tries to tell u otherwise don't listen, they are idiotic and have no idea what they are talking about. Love who you love bro, I'm sure if your family loves u enough they'll come around. Good luck:) rooting for you
I’m questioning rn and it’s been hard cuz I’m still not sure what I am, but I believe that I am bonded more on the lesbian side rn
Omg sameee. I’m a Christian but I know for a fact that I’m bisexual. My family would definitely not support me and my friends are apart of the lgbt community but I’m just scared to tell them that I’m bisexual
Ik how you feel I go through this every day and it hurts me but to know that it's not a sin I'm proud to be who I am even if I'm not excepted and you just have to keep going and you can date a girl and if you're not ready to tell your parents just keep it a secret from people you feel with tell someone or your parents but girl if you think your a lesbian like me don't hide it cause I'm here for you cause I'm going through the same thing and just know we all love you my friend have a great day or night or where ever you are in the world 🌎🌎♥️♥️♥️😁😁😁😁
I remember when I told my siblings I was bi, they asked me What bisexual meant and they assumed I was a lesbian (I’m not). Told them the meaning of what bisexual meant and my brother, (who’s extremely homophobic) told me it was a sin and next thing you know in the evening, my behind got caught since I came out to some of my friends in February since I was questioning in December, but my mom and siblings were not very accepting. My mom told me the story of sodom and Gomorrah and told me being gay was a sin and that were Africans we don’t date women. I love both men and women equally and she even told me to change “sexual into men”. For 2 weeks, I was forced to read the Bible, so “God can forgive me for my sins” From the start, I always loved people for who they are, no matter what and I always saw this as wrong. My mom says that it’s an abomination to be gay, AND IT NOT!
But I do not believe in ANY of that nonsense they say. I read the Bible and the Story of Sodom and Gomorrah, the story was about rape, not homosexuality to those who don’t know. Which actually relieved me and it changed me entirely, cause I was scared to actually learn about the story of sodom and Gomorrah cause the way my mom put it. They basically told me in the 7th grade (Going to 8th) that loving someone of the same sex or gender was a sin. But I didn’t listen! :) Im still bi
The only thing it did to me for 2 weeks and went from 4 months was, me being scared or nervous when someone said the word Gay. What it did to me for two weeks was crying, no laughter or happiness in me at all and lastly, going into depression, and my mom telling me “That’s not who I am”. I couldn’t recover nor forgive my siblings for what they did, but things got a lil better afterwards. Im happy again and accepting myself as this almost 13 year old bisexual. I already told one of my irl friends back I was bi and he accepts me!! :D which made me more happy. ✨💖
To everyone out there who needs this, I Accept you, I love you, I appreciate you, God loves you, Jesus loves you, so does my friend. Being gay is NOT and I repeat NOT a sin. God loves you no matter what he wants me to let you know that he always loves you, and he’s going to accept you into his kingdom. Your not a disgrace to your family, nor me, or anybody else. Jesus died for all of us even you! The people who are homophobes ARE the ones going to hell, cause they call themselves Christians and their the ones damaging this earth, NOT GAY PEOPLE! The Bible should be used to tell love, truth, acceptance and power. Not to teach ignorance and hate. You all are god’s children in my eyes, he loves you, even if you are LGBTQIAP+ ! Your never too young to know your gender, sexuality, or identity! It can even happened when your 5 or 12 it, doesn’t matter! We love you just the way you are and nobody has the right to change you and the way you feel toward others. You have EVERY right to wear want you want, clothing has no gender. You have EVERY right to not tell others, until your ready, there’s always gonna be time. I love you are just the way you are and that’s a promise to all of y’all. :D ✨💖✨💖💖✨✨
FACTS
Now to prove my friend jacob wrong about being gay is not a sin
@@gasbyer7292 YES
I love how you tell your parents you're gay and they say that it's not who you are. Damn right it is who you are!
@@jan-3356 parents are lowkey gay they just don’t wanna admit it
It’s obviously prejudice. Tons of people think that being gay is bad and that they will go to hell. That’s not true. You can’t choose your race, hair color, skin tone, etc... and that’s the same thing with sexual orientation.
It is true.
@@mono601 no it isnt
False equivalence.
Your hair, skin tone, etc are immutable.
Homosexuality is not immutable because one can’t really look at you and say you are gay. Now THAT would be prejudice.
See the difference?
@@The_Word_Is_The_Way then stop calling my brothers earrings,nails and makeup gay lol. And stop using gay as an insult if that’s the case
Not saying u do this but yea
Thank you. 🥲
I have told my mom that I’m bi at 12. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want my siblings to know and its so stressful. She said she will love me no matter what but isn’t showing it.
Hey girl same
But I haven't came out yet
hey same i had the same situation i thought she would accept me for being who I am but she isn't showing it she's telling me that she's not against it but apparently she shows that she also absolutely hates it. she's not religious but yea remember you are who you are and you are valid! if people tell you otherwise don't listen to them. im proud of you
I wouldn’t either
I told my siblings first
This relieved me my cousin is gay, and she is like a sister to me, we have a deep bond, and I wouldn’t let anything happen to her, I’m so happy that it’s not true and my cousin is safe. Thank you,
Also I’m bisexual
blackheartedhatred_tcmx I relate to this so much my cousin is like a sister to me she is lesbian and helped me search my sexuality and realise I’m also lesbian
Same
ayooo i’m bi too 🥰✌️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! i’ve been hearing so much lately that it’s a sin to be gay. as a Christian lesbian, that HURTS. more than i can say. so thank you. thank you sooo much.
I'm gay and I go to a Christian camp, it did hurt
@@Aiden-rh8rm ur contradicting yourself
@@robloxceeday1025 maybe they were forced to go
My family is a Christian family and I’m 15. I started to notice that I’m more interested in boys than girls. I’m scared to tell my parents, and ever since I started having interest in boys, I’ve been sad, numb ever since. I started having trouble at studies, and I can’t get along with other boys, i prayed to god for my happiness so many times but things just kept getting worse. I started losing friends and getting depressed. Now I just think god hates me and I don’t belong anywhere. No one gives a damn about me. Every night I would stay up til 0, 1 am crying because I haven’t had a true friend since I started having interest in boys. Is it just that god hates me? I’m so confused with life and I can’t take this anymore. My head hurts everyday. I want to end this now.
Please do me a favor and go to our friends at trevorchat.org and talk with someone about how you're feeling. You are loved by so many and talking with someone there is free, it's completely confidential and they are available 24/7.
@@PoweredByRainbows it’s not available outside the US. Looks like God doesn’t want me to have help and just suffer. 🙁😩😢
He loves everyone, don’t worry. You’re strong for making it this far! I know you can do it 😊
I’ll be your friend! We are all here for you! Everything will get better trust me
@@astrofrogy6927 I’m only 12 years old, and I’m not gay, and I’m not a boy, so I can’t relate, but know that somewhere, somebody will be there for you. People are praying for you and care about you. People including me. There are true friends and you will find one, and you will find one who accepts you ♥️
Hello ,I am a Christian and this video helped me shed light on why I never understood how the belief that I believe in has many things that made it hard to support the LGBTQ+ community. This used to make me question my beliefs entirely because I didn’t want to give up on some aspects of my belief . But this showed me that the original Bible was just swept under the rug. Thanks and I made a report so I can share what I have learned to others who are in the dark.
if it helps, the verse about homosexuality was a mistranslation from hebrew and was actually talking about pedophilia
@@reptile1687 what does suck though is that certain verses say that a man sleeping with a man like a women is an abomination. i hope that those were put in by a homophobe and not gods word
People saying the LGBTQ going to hell and it scares me :( People are so toxic I just want to have a love life. All the negativity lately has me wanting to be straight but I can't force myself I just can't ! The toxicity people have said has brought me several traumas and I don't want to go to hell for loving my same gender. This video just changed everything. Thank you:(♡
I love Jesus with all my heart 🥺❤
Ya people were saying to me stuff like"have fun in hell" and saying "where only trying to help you go to heaven" and it started to scare me. I started to have second guesses if I should stay Cristian.
I hope y'all know that not all christians force the concept of you going to hell down your throat lol
DONT change who you are for anybody be who you wanna be ^^
I sooooooooooo want to send this to my whole family after I come out just to call them out on their bs. . .but I can’t. Not yet
Take your time. Don’t rush it. Make sure it’s safe 💖
Thats okay if you want to wait! :D much love to you, and good luck C:
Best of luck.
you can do it ! But safety always comes first :D
so did u tell them? im asking cuz im late to this comment dont feel pressured to tell now
I'm bisexual and Christian and a very fateful man I'm in a very strong relationship with jesus christ I believe in God and that jesus died on the cross for our sins and I believe the bible is the word of God and read the bible and go to church and pray I'm not gonna change my sexuality just because Christianity thinks its wrong because its not I'm made this way in God's image and I know that God and jesus love me Gods not gonna change the way I'm he made me he wouldn't have made me this way if he didn't love me and he does which is why he made me different because he loves me and I hope one day to get married to either a man or woman it doesn't matter which one because I'm gonna be happy either way and one day hopefully me and my hausband or wife will go heaven and see God and jesus
Same I just bullied for being gay. I been crying so hard. Same I love god and I been getting closer but others are telling god doesnt want me bc I'm bi
@@shania1586 that's not true your made in Gods image and he loves you as you are your created to love differently
I'm crying so bad, because someone said being Gay is a sin, he even sent me proof, by giving verses Leviticus 18:22. Well, i don't really wanna say the verses. I did research in google, and i was crying, cuz it really is true, i really started to feel not trusting the Bible for a sec, until i found out this video. I'm now fine by this, and no, pls don't attack the person.
@@d1gital.l0afy God does love you and would never hurt you! he gave you the free will to love who you love^^
How to send to my homophobic mom without sending it to her
use her phone to change her youtube algorithm LOL
6:35 - 8:34
I'm gay and proud but i also love Jesus
That’s epic, same here
I showed my Homophobic/Cristian parents this video, it helped them be more accepting. Thank you!
I'm glad they're more accepting
I'm going to do that
@@krims0nkrisyt357 update?
Lucky you
Christian* (anyways, that's pretty cool that you're being more accepted!)
I came straight for the comments 😃🍿🍿🍿
The original Bible wasn't properly translated in general
mylife 23 it was a poor translation of “You can’t sleep with a boy” not a Man.
@@josemanuelmurguia8970 then entire Bible was incorrectly translated.
Yes, for example: what people think is “man shall not lay with man” actually translates to “man shall not lay with boy” which means he’s talking about how you cannot be a p*dophile
mylife 23 great
(being sarcastic)
I'm not trying to say anything against God, but do you think The Bible has changed? Could it have stayed the same since it was first made?
I wanna show this to my dad but I’m afraid he’ll beat me...
If it's not safe, it's okay to wait until you live on your own or you're out of that situation so you can be safe before sending this to him
@@PoweredByRainbows thank you ❤️❤️
God bless you! You don’t deserve that 🥺❤️✨
it's wrong of your dad to have you to be afraid of being beaten up by him. And never repeat that to your kids
@@lifesucks6289 I’m really sorry to hear about that
my dad's homophobic I'm scared to tell him im bi. I'm scared my dad will disown me as his son so I'm never confident to tell him I've been hiding this for years and still I can't gain the confidence to tell anyone but this vid is helping🙁
I’m sorry your dad is homophobic and I’m glad we can help you. Have you seen our episode on how to deal with homophobic parents? Here’s a link if you need, it might help: ua-cam.com/video/rG0oKDspVpY/v-deo.html
damn
I am also Bi and a Christian and my family arnt accepting so I havnt told them but my husband knows and doesnt care. Im not sure if I will tell them but I might tell people slowly It does hurt though when they talk badly about LGBTQ+ but it helps to have one ally.
Well just simplely don't don't tell him who you are otherwise something may happen I mean like a lot of people hide their homosexuality
@@ciggy.fe11 ...hi 😃
I get so sad when I see Christians walling off lgbtq members... it's like they are choosing to ignore the foundational message of the faith: truly LOVE everyone! They sound disingenuous.
I am so impressed to see how kind you all are in retaliation to that. Showing them understanding and respect back is how you prove your maturity. Don't return hate for hate! This is so much better to see than a group who hates Christians...
Most of all guys, wanted to say: don't let other people determine your relationship with God. There is no one that has the right to keep you from Him, no matter who you are. He loves you just as much as any straight person, that's for sure.
This is true. The thing to remember is that none of us are better than any of us in the eyes of god
For God said he wants you to come to him the way you are
As a trans lesbian christian, it grieves me greatly how much damage that change to the bible has inflicted, both to myself, and thousands upon thousands of others around the world over the decades.
did u know the name "satin" was the name of one of the translators political enimies
@Whispur Know who else takes the Bible "out of context"? The people who supposedly translated to the RSV version of the BOOK were supposedly well-seasoned scholars who had many decades of formal training, and not some 20-something seminary student. At least according to the website Stand to Reason, and the site seemed very bold about their claim.
Absolutely the same story with me here. It's deeply painful to me how so many followers of a religion with central values of peace, love, acceptance and justice, have become followers of a true hate cult that only worships dogmas based on a distorted interpretation of some tiny parts of the scripture, ignoring the Spirit part of the faith, and the main messages conveyed.
It's extremely saddening for me as a catholic christian and trans woman not to be able to go to to the church and connect to the ecclesial community. I would be banned from the sacraments if I were to come out to anybody there at all, which is completely unfair and obviously demonic in the eyes of any christian - it's persecution based on what cannot be chosen or prayed away, that's how God made me after all. I would have to lie about my gender, wear dysphoria-inducing clothes and just feel pain, which is the last thing God would want. I hope from the depths of my heart that this will stop one day when Vatican steps in to make this dark practice of my church finally end. This unfortunately applies to all orthodox churches and many protestant and non-denominational communities as well, meaning it affects millions of people around the world
@@cultistaautista Anybody who hates people for any reason as a Christian is using God is an avenue for their hate. That much is obvious. But the Bible has been proven to be extremely close and well translated from the original, and multiple versions all say the same thing, even verses that command a woman to find a man, and a man to find a woman.
Saying these “small” verses have conveniently been distorted and nothing else is blasphemous.
When I first saw a sentence that being gay in the bible was a sin I started to cry in bed almost for 30 minutes... Also, Whenever I saw that message over and over again I become more and even more heartbroken and shed a few tears..until I remembered that this is how God created me and that I know he loves me for who I am and that message was a sign that made my heart grow and that other peoples religion don't define who I am. 💖💖💖💖💖💖😭🏳🌈
yes! God loves you for who you are :))
Where in the bible does it say God said it was a sin?
This makes so much sense bc there are so many passages saying to love one another that it makes no sense that being hateful was ok. Turns out it’s not even a sin.
I don't know but I might have made a comment saying I would come out soon!
So here I am :D
My parents supported me and here is how it went
*We were home from church
I was really scared but I knew it was the right day so I walked into my mom's room and shut the door. Next thing you know it I was like "Mom? There is 2 things i need to tell you, 1 thing to ask and one thing to tell.
So I shut the door and said "Do you support Riley (My friend) being Bisexual? Turned out she supported it and she said "Yeah, (More stuff I can't remember) Why?"
And I said "Because I think I am"
I was trembling and shaking but I felt like I had a large heavy weight lifted off of my shoulders..
To this day I am still proud
💖💜💙 👌
Omg congrats! I’m bi too, I havent came out to anyone yet but I’m planning to soon :)
I a Christian, hate when people discriminate LGBTQ+ members. it really gets on my nerves, its like making fun of someone for their religion or race. Its really rude
Okay I'm a Christian and bisexual and actually looks deeper into this before and so no I don't think that it is a sin to be gay
Same
I have liked Boys every sense i was a Kid" i do not see how it can be a Sin I love Jesus Christ but for all the people out thire who judges Gays needs to stop when it is Natural.
I know I’m bi
As someone whos straight, my opinion on being this is that..being gay isn't a sin, it's not wrong, they just have different interest and people need to accept that, it's okay to be gay, lesbian, pan, bi, non-binary, and etc. what ever makes you happy. (not maps)
As a straight catholic/Christian person my opinion is that im not sure still wether it’s a sin or not however I respect 🏳️🌈 people, I also think it’s fine if you don’t like the idea of 🏳️🌈
Imagine to be hetersoexual and be forced to date only people of your own sex. That is the level of violence we employ against homosexuals when we demand them to date a sex they are not naturally atttracted to.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST LINKS OR SOME PROOF. I actually want to come out to my conservative christian mom
All of our sources are linked in the description of each episode. Much love and rainbows, Professor Pride.
I’m disappointed in how many people disliked this video
Hey, now we can't see the haters. Thanks, UA-cam!
Probably Trump supporters
Why I no longer am in a religion nor plan to use the Bible despite believing in God n Jesus. I'm more of a spiritual person anyways.
👏🏽
@@theamigo6783 You know there is more then one religion right? Like- I don't believe. God is actually extremely selfish! Here's why, if you don't follow him and believe in him you go to hell. How selfish is that?!
@@whatidontshipthem.4323 ik I’m a little late, but I believe that God the Father created Jesus so that he could spread his word on Earth, and God also sacrificed his son to save all people from going to hell as long as they are good people with kind hearts. So if you sin, (which we all do!) as long as you recognize that you sinned, are sorry for it, and ask for forgiveness, you will be forgiven. have a wonderful day🖤🖤🖤
@@whatidontshipthem.4323
God doesn't benefit nor is put at an disadvantage if he sends you to Hell. So already, it cannot be selfish or selfless if we discuss it from your view points. It's an act of objective judgement. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@whatidontshipthem.4323, well if God is really selfish, he shouldn't have created us, he will just let us all suffer and just die, crimes will be all over the city, he will just let us all go to hell.
Remember, God just made us borrow this life we have right now. If he is really selfish, he shouldn't have done that, and actually he lets people do anything they want, until the judgement day comes.
thanks! I didn't know if you were gonna include Hinduism, my grandma is Hindu, so this will hopefully help me when/if I come out to her.
I am bisexual Muslim and gotta say for yall. Plz brother and sister don't listen to the shaitan
Im bisexual and Christian, and I really needed to hear this because I was struggling
fr im gay and a christian and i was scared
the bible is falsified. homophobia isn't christian. god makes gays to care for orphans.
Not lying, I used to hate myself for being lesbian, I tried forcing myself to be straight but I just can't change. No one knows that I'm lesbian and no one probably will, I don't want to tell anyone, even my parents.
Why am I even saying this. I must sound like an attention seeker..
No, you're not an attention seeker. You're perfect for being who you are and loving who you love. Thank you for being you and thank you for being here. This channel is a safe place for LGBTQ where homophobes get banned so feel free to share or ask any questions you want to.
You don't need to change yourself
You are perfect just being yourself. I hope your doing ok. Take care of yourself.
You don't need to change yourself. you are who you are and you are valid just the way you are!
Yeah you are who you are u can't change yourself for something you are not. Being a lesbian is a part of u.
Thank you so much for this video I am a Christian and I thought it was a sin to be homosexual. I recently started feeling on the spectrum of bi. 2 days ago I finally realized that yeah I am. This video is really reassuring and makes me proud to be part of LGBT!
I'm a bi Christian too!
I’m a poly asexual :D
I’m a bi child of God too!
Im a straight christian but ive been hearing alot from my church pastor, who i used to respect alot when i was younger (which i regret), about gay being a horrible sin and they were teaching this stuff to 6 year olds. And it was online so all i could do was sit and watch. Basicslly he has been saying some wrong things (not just about homosexuality) so ive stopped participating in church. Because of this he send me like 5 paragraphs which, summarised, basically just said a formal version of "you fell off." I just leave him on read every time he says that to me now
Im a men with a long hair. And I'm gay. And I proud to be gay. Gosh, you make me cry, very good.
When I heard him say hat saying LGBTQ is is a sin is not a sin I started laughing. Like yasssss!
I'm bi.
We need to spread the word about being gay not being a sin in Christianity (and it's sources) to the people that really need to hear it, tough any means necessary.
We need to end the unnecessary battle for our rights (despite me not being in the LGBTQ)
Hey this was very helpful! I was wondering if you could make a video on what Christianity says about transgender? I’ve been struggling with my identity and I want to know the truth
I’m Christian (but not a Bible expert so please take this as a grain of salt). I don’t know if the Bible ever mentions being Trans or Non-binary.
@@Mal-ou8yl trans and non-binary people are included in lgbtq+ people 🙂
I’ve read it many times and saw nothing about transgenderism, only one old levitical law about a man not wearing a woman’s clothing. Levitical laws also included dietary restrictions and cleanliness rituals that Jesus said are no longer needed in acts 10
Jesus came to me and told me God made me gay and that He loves me!❤ God loves all of us. He makes NO mistakes!
Thats a lie bcuz God cant lie
Hear, hear
Who cares? Love whoever you want to love.
Even if LGBTQ+ is a sin I don’t care. People try and pressure their religion on us, (I know not all Christinas do this). I’m proud to be transgender lesbian and asexual. I’m proud to have three friends, one who is bisexual and genderfluid and was born female, another who is non binary and pansexual and was born intersex and the other one who is transgender and gay who was born female. They are all valid and their human too ❤️✨
I agree with you!same with my own religion
im so glad god has blessed me to be in a generation where i can be excepted for who i love. Praise the lord!
B..but I’m gay but I love god and don’t want to go to hell I don’t know what to do 😭
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You won’t it was a translation error.
Dont worry u are loved and not alone god loves all of us even the lgbt members ok 💙 always have hope freind im gay christian and im proud
Do u think animals go to hell when they die? Do u think animals believe in god? No, and there are no gods, heaven, or hell either. When you die, you get reverted back to energy and get released back into the universe, because everything is made of energy.
U watch soul didn’t u
I'm lesbian and I came out my family support but sometimes they say that the LGBTQ+ is going to hell and I cry at night thinking that I'm going to hell I always look up is being gay/lesbian being a sin.
And this vid helped me a lot thank you.
Dare I send this to my homophobic and transphobic parents?
Dont youll be yelled at and scolded
People in roblox were being rude and homeaphobic to gay people
And they were saying they were sinners
I stared to get worried beacuse I was bisexual and kinda doubting myself
The entire thing you talked about regarding Christianity, I just want to say, THANK YOU! No matter how often I've tried to explain to my relatives who are Christians, they refuse to listen to the FACT that being LGBT+ has NEVER BEEN A SIN and that it was merely a TRANSLATION ERROR from the ORIGINAL TEXT.
This made me feel so much better about myself... Thank you for everything... 💜
Thank you so much 😊 I had a friend you kept coming at me for being bi telling me it was a sin and he is my bf best friend I got really scared thank you so much❤️🥺
Thank you so much for opening my eyes and broadening my knowledge!!
I’m catholic and gay still in open-closeted situation type of thing 😅
I hope everything will be alright though..
Sending lots of love and may God bless you!
Same only I'm an agnostic lol
Jesus loves everyone regardless of species, race, seuxality, etc
I am 13 rn and gay but as a Christian I feel like I am a disgrace to Christianity and I will be shunned for who I am because of my sexuality I don’t like this
You’re not a disgrace to anyone. Being gay is perfectly normal. There are plenty of Christian churches that fully accept homosexuality and it’s not a sin. So you’re perfectly fine. While there might be some out there that don’t accept us for being gay, there are plenty more that do.
homophobes are a disgrace to Christianity. god creates gays to care for orphans. it was never a sin
Thank you so much, I'm Christian and have been accused of being a sinner all because I am gay.
You’re welcome!
"An older man is not to lay with a much younger boy" Yeah totally surprising how this of all things ended up mistranslated.
I just love them as human beings and we are not to judge for we shall go to judgment alone
Define judgement
But some things are just not judgeable at all, like sexual orientation!!
Bro just make lgbtq a religion, then any government homophobia is a direct infringement of the first amendment
I had watched many videos and read many articles about this topic. They made me feel very insecure and bad about my sexuality. I'm a religious person so it all scared me. Especially those comments on other videos.
But this video helped me a lot. My heart feels so much lighter now, there's no reason to be scared. I think I'm about to cry..
Same. I am terrified of coming out to my family, I don't know how they will react because of my family consists of very Christian people. This video makes me extremely happy and I just want people to accept me regardless of who I love.
I'm heterosexual but I didn't like the discrimination in the church so I was worried it was a repulsive, homophobic, discriminatory book. I thought that this couldn't be right and that this is horrible for such a supposedly loving religion. I thought maybe it was interpretations over time were adapting to the current mindset, and not be arrogant but I'm happy I'm right.
I thank you for releasing this video! I knew something wasn’t right with the Bible! I don’t know what to believe in the Bible anymore... I’m a Christian and I don’t hate LGBT people and I’m also a LGBT person. I’m bi... so yea... wtf is wrong with our world!
Im not gay but I and my parents were talking about this they don't think gay is a sin but my sister thought the bible was wrong about gay peepole
because God loves everyone
I've been called a sinner, its not fun
I'm a Christian, but people call me a "Fake Christian"
But I know better than them
They just showed you who is real fake my friend. They casted stones and they know they aren't sinless.
Do not worry freind they are the wrong ones god says he loves us all and will always will even if were gay lesbian christian he loves us in the way we are born ok 💙
The ones who project hatred are the sinners. I am not religious but I support you and anyone else 101% :D
there’s no reason why it would be a sin anyway. i mean i understand it’s “lust,” but people have sex with a different intention rather than reproduction, so why is it different when it comes to people of the same gender? it’s just love.
Even if it was lust, there are many asexual gay people, proving not all homosexuals are only motivated by lust and not love.
Crafttori exactly. if a straight barren woman wants to have sex with her husband is she going to hell? i don’t know why she would.
@@msstephanie726 exactly
I don’t understand why either. The only reason I can think of is for procreation but even the Bible acknowledges that sex isn’t only for making babies. Just look at the Song of Solomon!
Thank you for making this video, I'm a Christian. Ever since I find out about gay peoples, I searched up in online and find out about some sexualitys and what there mean and I ask myself. What is my sexuality and I never get my answered until I start have a bit of feelings with girls and boys and I ask myself, am I bisexual or pansexual and I keep asking myself but I'm still figuring it out and since my family is Christian. My mom doesn't support LGBT and while my brother is kinda don't accept for transgender and me just pray for everyone to accept to who their a. Once again thank you for making this video! I'm still not ready to come out to my family yet.
(sorry my first language isn't English)
I'm Protestant, and I'm from an extremely conservative church (we use the KJV Bible, not the RSV), so pretty much everyone is massively homophobic or at least believes homosexuality is a sin. I used to be like that too, but then I went to college, watched actual LGBTQ people talk about their experiences, educated myself, and even met another bi girl at a church youth group (ironically). Now I know I'm bi, but I also know my family and church/community will never accept me, and I don't know what to do. Nobody will accept this information, even if it's completely true, because it doesn't come from one of our ministers.
Also, if we have to follow the Bible to the letter, then it's a sin to be homophobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, antisemitic, or anything that involves hating another person, based on the multitude of verses that command us to love our neighbors, love our brothers, etc.
To all my fellow LBGTQ Christians, I love you. You matter. I accept you. You belong. God loves you and God needs your help to do work in the kingdom. I know the feeling of fighting against the hurt and disdain of certain church members. And believe and speak, you are the head and not the tail
Thire is a God/higher power but Gay is a Natural process
also in islam it's a Sin to say a thing is a sin it's a right only given to god so saying that being gay is a sin is actually a sin.
there is no explicit text that say that being gay is a sin
This made me feel better thank you
I’m bi, I came out to my Christian friend as lesbian ( what I first thought I was ). She was fine with it, accepting. Then the day after she said she actually said she didn’t support it which hurt me a lot. It made me think like what did I do?
Considering the fact we had a crush on each other in elementary, she said she used to be bi but likes men more so she said she is straight. I forgot about this for awhile. I recently started thinking on it like “maybe being gay is bad” and started searching up if it was wrong to see why my friend would t accept me. But I’ve decided to not worry about it as I cannot change who I truly am but have to embrace it.
Don’t hang around that person they aren’t your friend
@@moss1472 Yeah, but my new friend is Christian too and I’m not coming out for that reason. Most people where I live are religious so.
That happened to me. And I became a frickin Muslim
As a gay man, I absolutely hate how people say we're going to hell for existing. It pains me to see that conservatives can't accept that we are humans, and we can love who we want
Holy shit, I knew I was onto something when I searched this video🤯🏳️🌈
Same, btw I love ur name XD
Im christian and came out as bi recently. My parents were nice, and all. But they told me “god will change your direction if he needs to” meaning- they dont accept it. They also watch christian videos and watched a few about lgbtq+, all saying it was wrong. I hate it so much having to pretend “oh, yeah that talk made me straight!” My friends and i are all lgbtq+ and we joke around and write on whiteboards about lgbtq+ being okay. Its always says- “love is love!” Or “accept all!” And its always erased when we leave for lunch. Its bad.
I hope your parents realize it's ok.
No it's not a sin.
Thank you! I have no idea how lies got spread and why so many believe it's a sin. People don't know how to use facts I guess.
@@PoweredByRainbows they just don't understand what they're reading
Here's the logic: If you didn't choose to be straight, then I didn't choose to be gay. If I didn't choose to be gay, then I was born that way. If I was born that way, than being gay is not a sin. God creates everything in His image, and God doesn't make mistakes. And plus, The Pope literally said that people shouldn't hate the LGBTQ+ community, so who the hell do homophobes think they are to go against the Pope and God?
think about that homophobes.
Yeah you tell em, swiss cheese
I'm gay God loves me God loves everyone
I really hope so dawg. Being gay shouldn't be no sin and I hope it ain't.
God loves each person no matter what....why people say if you’re gay ur sining like what?- nothing wrong being your true self!!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SAYING IS A SIN 👍
I didn't know this, keep going! 💖
Thank you! Will do!
LMAOOO YOU IN THE LIVE CHAT -
I’m lesbian I like girls
@@Zilly_G00b3r i do too
but im a boi
@@Zilly_G00b3r same
As a gay dude who is only attracted to men, I wish my parents would support me, but instead they want me to be straight even i do not want.
What do you mean with "you do not want to"? It does not depend on what you want. Not at all!
I’m assuming you can provide the original texts from the scripture to help validate your argument. I mean if the Bible was incorrectly translated I would like to know what the original text says and based and your confidence I’m assuming you know what the original text states.
Of course, we linked our sources including the original text in the description of the episode. We always like to provide a summary in our episodes but always link to the full context in the descriptions of each video so if you ever see something you want to learn more about in one of our episodes, check the description to learn more from our sources.
Okay so there are a few problems with this video imo. First of all, you didn't specifically address verses in the bible which seem to state that it is a sin, such as 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and the infamous Leviticus 20:13 from the Old Law. Secondly, you failed to show us an analysis of the language used in the original text, and just left us to take your word for it that there was a miss-translation somewhere in the bible. I personally am not a christian nor am I straight, so naturally I see nothing wrong with homosexuality, but I have to call out a poor analysis when I see one.
Yeah I wish he went into more detail on that. He kinda just said it and moved on.
Thanks for telling me this I really wanted to die because I’m attracted to both genders and I figured that people would bash me for who I love I truly love god and believen him I hate when people say how are u bisexual and your a christan or just makes me question myself 🥺 but I love who I love
Thats very horrible a lot of people don’t think that christians can be gay and still believe in God i feel bad for you And Im an atheist
Omg my name is Kai too
“Love is love” Nahhhh God is love
@@unbreakableheart18yearsago41 wat 18 years?
As a christian i am sorry that other christians spread so much hate to lgbt members. You are loved as you are. God made you who you are.
Exactly. Know ons should be treated differently. God bless my fellow sibling in Christ.
Thank you for posting these - you are so good at making things clear. I've watched a few of your posts already and look forward to more.
This is a wonderful, educational video, thank you so much for sharing
I am deconstructing my former Christianity. Don't know if I will reconvert but it is my personal view that sin is what drives us apart, causes hate, confusion, ignorance etc. Love, real love, is the opposite of sin, because it brings us together and bridges gaps. But I know many attach 'that which offends God' to their definition of sin as well.
Doesn't God need an ego to be offended? Very strange to me. And then I have to question, if this God doesn't share the same goal as me, which is to bring people together and increase the amount of good in the world through mutual aid and understanding, what DO they want?
I think the Christians who worship this God who doesn't want gay people to be together or trans people to feel safe expressing themselves have a false image of God. And if God possessed the human ability to be offended, they probably would be offended by the idea that they were so delicate.
Im a pansexual Christian and today’s service was mentioned that sexuality and gender in todays world is wrong and its a sin and i tried not to cry as this is something I’ve struggled with for years going back and forth from hateing who i am and understanding i cant change who i am. But when i got home today i looked up is being gay is a sin and this is the first video i saw
My mom is a Christian and she said that if I see any homosexuals' to keeps scrolling or don't even look because if I become gay I'm going to hell. I tried seeing if the bible said liking the same sex is a sin but cant find it. But what I do know is having a relationship with god and liking the same sex is not going to send you to hell. I'm not African but I have African family that said its not natural to be gay or have intercourse. They way the bible was shown to me did not make anything better with my relationship with god. It seemed like he didn't like his people if they were gay. I'm bi sexual but don't really feel attracted towards females anyway. But I have two years left and know everything is going to be better once I graduate.
I’m gay
im bi
The translation of the bible screwed us a lot
And they are still translating and updating to this point
ah the temptation to send this to my homophobic mother
You should send this to her! It would be a great way to spread the word. Although, if your mom is REALLY homophobic, saying they all burn in hell... Maybe not. Hopefully she changes her opinion!
Thank you so much i have a friend who is LGBTQ and she has been questioning this for a long time, its been bothering her as her parents dont support ot too. I wss then in an argument with a lady who kept on saying its wrong. Again thank you so much for this! 😁
