- We get a lot of questions on our channel about how a Christian should respond to the LGBTQ+ community and what the appropriate stance should be. In this video we take a look a 5 steps we believe every Christian should take to better love people within this community.
We should love others but not their practices
Amen
Definitely
Especially when most of them touch children.
AMEEEEEN😝😝😝
Exactly
Amen
The other day I spread the gospel to someone I work with, a lesbian. I was really afraid since it was the first non-believer I've tried to spread the gospel to so I was pretty unconfident, but I decided to talk to her about Jesus alone and after we spoke she told me she started to feel this pure love she never had before in her life. I was so happy, and really glorified God because I felt the Holy Spirit aided me in spreading the gospel.
I feel it's much more important to plant that seed of Jesus into someone's heart, so that even if they falter, they may always return and want to seek more because the seed is still in them. One day they may end up repenting on their own from their sins in the LGBTQ community, but they may also not. But condemning people for their lifestyles will only drive them further from Jesus. Even Jesus himself did not save everyone He came in contact with, the Pharisees and the like, so we must realize that if we even save one person, just one, from planting the seed of Jesus in them, that's absolutely amazing and remarkable in the eyes of God.
I hope you still get to talk with her on occasion and continue to be her friend; it's that continued example of your life that puts the Bible on display to her. I will pray for the both of you.😊
How did you start it ? Like how do you talk to people or her at first and kept her to listen to you throughout the whole conversation. Like was there a time she didn’t really listen but what got her to listen? How did you speak to her in a compassionate way? And did you bring up hell?
@@SaucyCow19 Everyone has a different experience with Christianity, unfortunately there's tons of false information spread about Jesus, as well as other factors like religious trauma. With me fortunately she was already into the idea of God existing as an all loving God, so preaching to her and crushing her misconceptions wasn't as difficult as it could be, especially with all of the confusion in the world. I got lucky but I definitely myself still need to learn how to preach the gospel better and plant the seed of Jesus in people.
I did bring up that homosexuality is a sin, only since she asked and I previously didn't know she was gay. But I feel she understood that I humbled myself and clarified that I am not any less sinful than she is, we all have our own hard battles we need to fight with God on our side.
@@dankfish3760 how is she doing now ?
Reading this brought me so much joy. This is the heart of our Beloved Father. 🥹🫶🏽
Im a lesbian until 2021, upon entering the walk with the Lord on 15 March 2021, I asked Christian friends if I am really accepted or if God loves me - a sinner. Her answer convicted me.
She said, "You will not be condemned, you are welcome, God loves you, but you will hear a call for transformation"
And it really happened. Now I can declare, I am a woman of God.
I almost cried to your comment, it was beautiful, thank you
Do you think women are still hot?
Wow, W friend!
Do you still have a libido? What is it directed at?
This I will commit to memory. This is the upright way.
What I was taught growing up.
“Hate the sin love the sinner”😊
HERE SOME SCIENTIFIC FACTS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY:
+ The WHO, World Health Organization, stated clearly, that homosexuality not a disease or disorder, but a healthy natural sexual orientation.
+ It is most likely innate (determined by SNP in several genes and by antibodies (NLGN4Y) during pregnancy), as the opposite sex is never sexual attractive to people born homosexual.
+ Evolution scientists stated in several publications, that homosexuality exists since sexuality exists, since 385 million years.
+ They also stated, that having homosexual members in the own tribe, gives several evolutionary advantages, which explains the permanent share of 4-10% homosexuals of the population.
>> So, the question would be rather: why putting an ethical limit on homosexuality if its natural, healthy and even with a natural sense?
>> Especially now as more and more homosexuals marry and adopt and raise kids that else wise would have no parents.
But the Sin doesn't go to hell the SINNER Does that's not right we are to love everyone but we must not love what is evil we are to show them the sacrifice Jesus paid for them that's why jesus christ came to save sinners by dying for us so that by christ alone we should be Saved SOME SAYINGS ARE NOT RIGHT BE CAREFUL!!❤
@@lizdaly4365 yes love the person but don't love their sin
@@Jesus-is-my-saivor2477 and show them the error of there ways so that they may see what Jesus christ did for them and repent!!
Remember love is a action
I think the issue is that a lot of Christians prioritize being right over showing love and others prioritize showing love to the point they compromise their morals. I love this video because it shows that we can show love while keeping to our morals and it doesn’t have to be as hard as it’s being made. Somewhere along the way, the church has lost empathy for certain groups of people and it’s that very empathy that we need to further His kingdom♥️
The LGBTQ community has been using the empathy of the church against it; that's how they have gained so much power in Congress and most of the world. Satan knows how to twist our empathy to his advantage and trap us.
I wholeheartedly agree. This video was a masterpiece. ❤️
@thepuggreatfanssave1126 ??
The church doesn't hate certain group of people everyone comes to church a thief,a murderer whatever it is but see what happens is that people usually react to the truth and when it comes to the Bible Truth it is sharper than a double edged sword that cuts deep and into the soul..
So it is not that people are hated it is that people sometimes do not know how to handle the truth which is very ok but at the end of it all we should be ready to accept what God is telling us in the Bible and be ready to confess repent and turn away
@thepuggreatfanssave1126 How is he on Satan’s side? Because he’s telling us to love LGBTQ+? Jesus told us to love, not hate. Homophobia is just as bad as homosexuality, dare I say, homophobia is an abomination.
One of my favorite quotes is “hate the sin, not the sinner”
that quote will not go over well with any lgbt person you talk to.
@@babs_babs well yes… there is some stuff that’s wrong with that quote but, a lot of the time people hate on LBGTQ+A community because God says that it is a sin to be Gay. A lot of people in the LBGTQ+A community are actually Christians just not, “true” Christians so what I’m saying is you shouldn’t hate on someone just because it’s against your religion… instead what I think we should all do… is be kind, tell them about the Good news of Jesus, and leave and pray! :)
@@babs_babs if they already know about Jesus Christ… but, are still Gay… that’s when you should start praying for them :)
@@DawstheYTBoss you don’t see how disrespectful and judgmental you are. you can’t offer kindness to lgbt people, you don’t know how. the most you can offer us is politeness.
@@babs_babsjudgmental and disrespectful because thsts how YOU chose to see it, spreading the Gospel is seeing as love in the bible
As a Christian who is in public school where these lifestyles are shown and expressed often, and having friends who are apart of this community. This has shown me and given me a different perspective of how I can show them and lead them to Christ. Thank you! ^^
yes I am the same with the homophobic community who all love satan
I dislike the community but do not dislikes gays
God cursed them for a reason.

I will be honest, I hesitated to watch this video...but I am glad that I did. THIS is by far the best Christian advice I have heard on this issue. I feel convicted because I know I have judged and been in the wrong here. Thank you for this, and keep doing the work of Jesus here on UA-cam ❤
This is so blasphemous and dangerous....watered down social gospel, cherry picked and misconstrued quotes..and misunderstood bible quotes. I could go on and one but it's clear of the agenda here. Conditioning for the one world religion, universalism, just like the sickening nd twisted super bowl "Jesus" commercial. HaSatan is a marketer, that. IS. for sure.
you hesitated because u r judgmental.
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETE BULL CRAP!
I was one of them，but thank God,He let me know that I was drowned in sin and He let me back to him😊
And now I can use God’s words as my weapons to fight against this sin
Me too ! Amen 🙏🏻❤ His love is stronger than every sin !
God Bless you.
Praise God, wonderful testimony ❤
@@oceaneakalaviewance7645 Yes！！！God is so love us that He bring us back to Him！
I’ll be honest, it’s hard to evangelise lgbtq people because as soon as you mention “Homosexuality is a sin”, you’re being “judgemental” even if you show them scripture. BUT, ofc, that doesn’t mean we just condemn them to hell.
Become friends first, after trust has been established then you can have these conversations.
This guy takes exaggeration to try to cover up how spineless he is in speaking up for God's word.
@@2fast2blockthis is not the way friend. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. He should be given the same Grace that we have to extend to the LGBTQ community. He isn't weak but has some fear and reservation. The same we ALL have for one thing or another.
Ask God to guide you and LISTEN for His answer before you try to speak to them but in your waiting, be kind.
Put the seed and let God Water it. Do the Possible and God will do the impossible.
I was a bisexual male pretty much since I could think about the idea of romance. This all changed as of very recently. I converted to Christianity the Monday before the last (It is late Saturday whence I write this), and this past Wednesday, after a long talk and a lot of internal debate, I decided to cast down my sin of homosexuality and embrace God's Covenant. This is not some made-up sob story nor some lie, this was a real thing that happened. If I, a sinner since birth, can cast down something like my own sexuality, _you_ can do the same, and perhaps even the same unto others as well. I still love and respect my queer friends and even my ex-lovers, but never again will I join hands with another man in "love." This was a really good video and I'm glad I came across it. Salve Deus Dominus. May your days be long and your prospects fruitful.
I as well was able to cast down my sin, but only through the help of Christ. I was a bisexual female for the past year and a half of my life, before that I had considered myself just gay. I am incredibly thankful for my first male partner because he changed my mind about my sexuality and ended up breaking my heart bad enough I had no choice but to turn to Christ. It still hurts a little, but I now rejoice when old memories come up because the pain in the long run only helped bring me back to God. Everyone says they feel they were born gay, as did I, but that is because we are all born with sin, it just manifests itself differently in different people. The LGBTQ community needs to realize that their sin is like any other, for example, cheating, drinking, lying, stealing, but they somehow feel entitled to their sin. Testimonies like ours can help reveal that it is escapable if you turn to ask God for help.

Amen
Love, I see where you are coming from, but I would kindly address your fear of same sex people. Your only fear needs to go straight to God (which is reverence for our Farther who loves you 💖). Nothing of man should earn your fear, for they can only destroy the body - they are not our God. I am glad you are being transparent, and you are willing to inspire and correct the body of Christ out of love, but it starts with you. Let Christ reign in your 💜, and let the Holy Spirit guide you and your steps. Amen. God bless you 💕💖
Same man, I struggle with homophobia as well. I don’t know why. But I’ve learned to love these people.
Homophobic? Don't you mean normal?
@@ericpratt984 No I meant like, I often made fun of gay people and saw their sins as a bit worse as compared to my own. I thought they were “disgusting and filthy”, when in reality, we are all sinners.
I was scared at first. But I watched the whole video. Thanks for this. We have enough 'oh just love on them' advice. Which basically means 'overlook their sins and don't share the truth'. But this is actually to love them- show God's love and be transparent about the Bible's stance on sin.
Why would you be afraid of watching this vid all the way through?

Ya definitely not enough heterosexual Christians going around telling people "your life is a sin, but we still love you"
I love you, but I don't think you should ever fall in love or have a mate. Cause that, that would be a sin
One of the people I was closest to at my last workplace was a lesbian, I didn’t even know for a long while that they were lesbian but she knew that I was Christian. We talked a lot about football and had lunch together often with our other friends. She was one of the best parts of working at that place and I tried to show her the kind of kindness that someone of our faith should show. I don’t know that I changed her beliefs in any way, but I hope at the very least I changed her mind about Christians at least
Fair point, well it’s her choice and really God’s job to drive her to righteousness.
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETE BULL CRAP!
This is insanely helpful. Since we are all sinners, we all screw up, and I’ve made quite a few mistakes when it comes to this matter… It’s so easy to let pride and arrogance get in the way of truly mirroring God and His likeness. Our job as Christians is to point others to God, to mirror Him, so that when they see us, they see a light in us, the Holy Spirit. And I hate to say it, but looking at my past actions, I haven’t been very loving to the LGTBQ community. This video really opened my eyes, and while I’ll always struggle with sin, as all Christians do, I now know what to do in order to take steps to be more loving and humble, especially when it comes to this subject.
Same here this has really opened my eyes. Now it still is wrong but now I know what to do and how to give people to God. Hate does nonthing but eat up the soul.

I hope you’ll het better at being less harmful and closer to God soon!❤
@@jujuoof174 It seems to me that people become especially harmful because of crazy laws and the imposition of certain standards

I’m going to be truthful here, this video is an eye opener to how us Christians should treat people in the LGBTQ community. Speaking the truth in love is can really help someone come out of a sinful lifestyle such as homosexuality
@ConfederateArtillery95 "Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world." Ephesians 6:12 We shouldn't compromise our morals, but our fight is against Satan, not politics, people, etc.
@@ConfederateArtillery95War is not the answer. Love and firmness is.
@@ConfederateArtillery95You can’t fight fire with fire cuz that causes more MORE fire. Just be a leading example for them and spread the gospel, and God will handle the rest. 😌
@@ConfederateArtillery95 Being a good example to them AND spreading the gospel so they can potentially change, YES. Leave them be after just telling about God, NO. We know it’s wrong for whatever decision they had that they think is right, but that doesn’t mean WE have the right to force them to be a Christian. It takes time for those to understand the word so they can grasp the concept of who God is, His word, and that they are a sinner of their committed actions. So it’s THEIR decision to change, not US. We’re just here to provide the message to encourage and inspire others to do the same like Jesus did! And if they don’t want to change, then that’s on them and the Lord will judge them upon their actions and decisions they’ve made.
@@ConfederateArtillery95 Have you ever seen Jesus put up a fight because he saw someone who was doing wrong, going by your example, such as a pedo? Jesus knows that whatever that person has committed is wrong, so he’s not gonna fight them and say something like, “You’re going to Hell if you don’t listen to me!” God gave us all free will to do whatever we want, whenever we wanted. It all comes down if we want to follow Jesus or not and if we trust and in Him. Our actions and words from believing in His word are sharp enough to pierce through a person, but that person has to decide if they believe in it or not. It takes time for unbelievers as well to get on the same page as God wants them to. It’s important to note that Jesus himself demonstrated a compassionate approach in his interactions with others. He showed understanding, love, and forgiveness even to those who were engaged in sinful behavior. His focus was on inviting people to embrace God’s grace and experience transformation willingly, rather than engaging in confrontations or condemnation.
Focusing on LGBTQ+ is really not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is Christians going around telling people that they’re going to hell because they’re living in a certain way. And like you said it’s God‘s job to make that decision. Our job is to spread the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Franklin Graham is perfect saying to love sinner
I grew up in a Christian family. It was hard to say the least, my family was homophobic and when I found myself to be Bisexual, I was in this emotional mess. I didn’t know what to do. Or how to come out as in my household, we could possibly be disowned from our family for being apart of LGBTQ. This video has helped me in some ways as to understanding that I do not spend to change myself to appeal good in the eyes of God as he will love me as long as I believe that Jesus died for our sins. He is our lord and savior. To this day I still attend church every Sunday and I’m currently dating my wonderful girlfriend who is also Christian. We love god and follow me, while we don’t spears our beliefs as from our experiences, priest would tell us to “be what god wanted”, our parents would not speak to us. Even if I don’t have a close relationship to my family anymore. I will still forgive them and make sure they are doing alright. While me and my lover are committing sin, it does not matter to us. I would rather go to hell and suffer for eternity for my sin than go to heaven carrying a sin. We know that no one is better than us as we have all committed sin. We have all lied at one point, we have committed sin.
You can say Homosexuality is wrong in practice and is a sin. But we do not care who your opinion or truth. As we are all human.
@@alexv1a Jesus transformed my life. When I decided that Gods will should be done and not my own, it changed everything. Before I wasnt able to trust God. I hated God, because he wanted to take everything from me that mattered to me. But after I got to know Jesus better, I realized, that maybe I am in the wrong. After a long time of struggeling, I decided to give my relationship to God. I lived in horrible sin. But finally I broke up the relationship, that I thought I couldnt live without. At that time I had very bad depression and no friends. My partner was the only thing left. I was horrified. But surprisingly my depression didn't get worse after the breakup. It even got way better. I felt relieved and super strong. I finally made some steps in faith. I gave my life to Jesus. I was scared, but I felt, that I am not alone.
Since then I gave multiple areas of my life to Jesus. I am not even watching TV anymore. Jesus love is all I need. And I want to show God my love for his grace. I am still a sinner and I will always need Gods grace. But my life is changing everyday. God is good and he changes my heart.
Now I am in a relationship again. I still cant believe how this happend. This relationship is completely different from everything I have experienced before. We are together since almost a year now. We both focus on God and want to trust that is scedule is the best. We didn't even kiss yet. I still cant believe that this is even possibile. But we dont kiss each other till we are going to marry. And even though we dont have sex, I feel sooo much love for my partner. I finally learned what it truly means to love my partner. I never felt so close to anyone before. And often I cry, because I am so happy. And then the memory of my old sinful relationship comes back. And it shocks me. If I didn't give up that old relationship, God would have never had the opportunity to show me this wonderful place I am at now. Even though I couldnt believe it, God always has the best plan. God is good. Soooo good.
I truly hope, you will make a similar experience in life too. I wish you a great day and lots of love. ♥️
Guys please watch the WHOLE video, he says that yes it’s a sin but we still must love them, Jesus taught us to love UNCONDITIONALLY and to “love thy neighbor as thyself”, that includes homosexuals
Yes, but be very careful. Because they use "love is love" but its defined in a very different way. You can love and love doesnt mean approval of certain things. If you love someone, you point out the dangers.
Salvation is for Israelites only. If I thought that God loved those people, I’d become an atheist. But I know the Bible and he is against people like that.
@@gilson1982 if your faith will be derailed by that simple fact you have no faith at all. Salvation is for all, that’s kinda the point, all people can be saved that’s what the 12 were supposed to do. Paul was the Gentiles apostle pretty much, the books of Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, etc were all to the gentile Greeks. We are the new Israel, grafted in to the place the sin loving Israelites were (not saying all Israelites love sin just the ones who did lost their place and we took it). Also Jesus loved adulterers. If your faith is on any other foundation than the Gospel truth of Jesus Christ that He, a perfect Man, fully God and fully Man, took the penalty we sinners deserved so that we wouldn’t go to hell the place where sin and sin lovers go to burn for eternity out of love for us then you need to reevaluate your motivations to why you believe in the first place.

I'm gonna be honest, even Christians struggle with LGBTQ temptations. I myself have struggled with gender dysphoria and same sex attraction. But I knew what God's Word said, and through the help of God I was able to overcome those feelings.
When you'd said to overcome those feelings ... By any means "turning" into "straight" or surpressing the sexual temptations, like keeping it to yourselves and only to you?
@@jesterrgae I don't know your position, but I just want to say this just in case. We aren't all born with homosexual, heterosexual, "cisgender", or gender-dysphoria attractions. Sometimes these come into our life and we get to make the decision to embrace or overcome such feelings. Based on the comment, it was likely both. He could be experiencing something known as bisexuality. In this struggle, he/she likely felt gay, straight, or both, but I won't speak for them.
@@TheSpacePlaceYT My question is my point, and your statement speaks the latter.
I'm being Rhetoric
I used to be "trans" but God took that away, im a woman, i still struggle with attraction but everyday is easier to choose right
Those feelings are entirely natural. It makes me sad that God made you feel like you will be committing a sin when in fact you are just a normal human being with normal human feelings.
I literally asked God how to communicate with them because deep down I knew there was a better way. A better method and now I see this video! I’m so thankful. Thank you so much for this video
One of your best videos, man! Just discovered this channel today and I'm already loving what you do. This video in particular is a fantastic eye-opener to us Christians who often judge ignorantly and condemn the LGBTQers as well as how LGBTQers may often view Christians as harsh and at times cruel for this reason. Hope this video blows up even more so people everywhere can hear this message! GOD BLESS EVERYONE ✝🙏
Hate the sin! Not the sinners… This video was a much needed one. May God bless you brother…
We have all sinned and have fallen short to the glory of God. It’s by his grace only, we have received this free gift of salvation. May the ones who are suffering with gender dysphoria, come to our God, and experience his everlasting love in their life and accept the free gift of salvation.
No where in the Bible will you find "hate the sin, not the sinner"
But... lgbtq love isnt the sin, its the lgbtq lust that is.. If we spread God's word about love, why.. condemn it?
@@mrspeeddemon727 Yes you're right. It doesn't say that literally. But the Bible very clearly conveys that message through Jesus. Even though he is infinitely holy, He loves the sinners. (Which btw is exactly the reason we are saved!) Moreover, the Bible calls us to be "imitators of Christ".
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETE BULL CRAP!
There's something missing on this video. Just spread the word, let the ones who want to accept it to stay and let the ones who do not agree with it to leave. You don't try and chase them, but instead let God do the work and tie this up with not compromising your faith. As chasing leads to influence, and this could harm you to the point of no return like how we see woke Christianity nowadays with their twisted teachings, justifying what is sinful in nature.
Granted, the rainbow community will misunderstand this as a form of condemnation but it's for the best of both ends. Let the unbothered be not bothered and leave it to God's work, as not all can be convinced.
Amen!
The Father of the prodigal son did not march into the city his son had fled, grab him by the ear and drag him home. But he did wait for any news of his son returning day after day and ran out to embrace him when his son returned.
So too should we be to those who choose to walk away, always ready to embrace them if they repent, but not hounding after them.
This was the answer I need thank you! I was thinking on this too! It’s a very important part so we can respect them as people and trust God and let him do the work. I agree we should leave others alone if they don’t want to be bothered and pray for them that they come to Jesus one day God Bless You 🙏🏼❤️
Amen sister
Amen
Why do people think being gay is a sin again? It’s not like gay people can control how they feel, even if they don’t act on their temptation
As a person that’s starting to become a REAL Christian, I find it incredible that you can use humility in such a strong way, admitting your sins, and others.
I once watched a UA-cam video explaining how hate/arguments become more viral than most other things. It explained how you might see a video or post that you agree with but ignore, but if you see one that you disagree with you engage and then more people engage with you, and eventually the hate just keeps growing in numbers that it outmatches anything else
I have prayed a while back and asked God about this topic, and now I was lead to this video to find God's answer. Thank you for making this video ❤

To all those who disagree with this message, you are disagreeing with Jesus’ teaching. He taught us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself” and to love UNCONDITIONALLY, that includes the LGBTQ community, it does NOT say, “love the sin”, or “act like it’s okay”, it just teaches us to LOVE them. We need to pray for them and hope that they repent of their sinful ways. Thank you for this message, God bless you all! ❤

I’m a atheist but I like videos like this their fun cultures around the world are cool
Y'know, personally, I'd take hazbin hotel over the dumpster fire that is Steven Universe
The majority of Christian’s don’t just “condemn” gays.
We simply tell them their lifestyle is sinful. And to say otherwise is blasphemy by the way.
But we get called hateful for just telling the truth of the Bible.
Do not give what is holy to the dogs, do not cast pearls before swine. Some will hate you for the truth or even become incited and attack you for it. You aren't called to try to pursue and convince them otherwise.
But like the prodigal Son, we are called to embrace them if they return.
And as the apostles did in acts, we are to head out and spread the gospel fearlessly.
I agree
A careful reading of Scripture will indicate many ways, even inadvertent, of your own life, that by which you could be easily judged as sinful.
When evangelising to LGBT people, you're getting off on a wrong foot if you use your presentation of gospel as an attack on their sinful lifestyle, especially if they happen to know you well enough, and the Bible well enough, to perceive aspects of your own life that are sinful.
Presentation of gospel should be that despite both your own sin and their sin, Jesus Christ came to die for all to be saved who accept His offer of redemption. Relate to them about the ways in which you were fell short of the glory of God before coming to Christ (I have to shorten mine up, it's longer than a Dead Sea Scroll lol) and how God empowered you to overcome the temptations that when acted upon had hurt others, how you still feel temptations but have an acute awareness of the effects it causes, past the fleeting pleasure it provided you when you succumbed.
None of what I just said in any way makes it seem that their lifestyle is acceptable to God. Rather, I don't try and stay on a high horse and pretend that I am better than them. It's about accepting that it is not my job to evaluate their life choices, it's Christ's. It's my job to inform them of the gospel. ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God - including every single Christian. So let's approach it that way. That doesn't mean LGBT should be pastors or elders, the Scriptural prerequisites make that super clear. But they should feel welcome in a church and part of the church family, most of whom are struggling with all sorts of heinous sin anyway.
Sincerely,
A Conservative Christian with two LGBT siblings who "believe in God still".
@@joelmcleay
Homosexuality is still sinful but it is also a very strong spirit. It’s also just as bad as any other sin. But I believe if someone were to ask God to rid them of that spirit bc they know it’s a sin and want to follow God completely, that He will rid that person of the spirit.
With all due respect, define a "gay lifestyle", what does that term mean to you?
I really love this one because the way to lead someone to the gospel is through love and tolerance not hate and ignorance. Not saying to accept their lifestyle but to talk to them with love and kindness
but we must never be ok with the homophobic lifestyle

I'm new to your channel, and i keep on tearing up 😅 you're very good at explaining things and i think some Christians forget that they should "hate the sin, and love the sinner." And thats why i also think why most of the LGBT community thinks bad of us Christians, sadly. But keep up the good work and continue to spreading the truth, may God bless you!
PS: I love the art
I’m so happy God led me to this channel. I have not found others to learn about Christ with.
Thank you for this lesson. I hope we all as Christians will be more loving to the people around us, so God would save as many as possible.
Real love is not letting someone sin themselves into hell. Real love is telling someone the truth even if it makes you or them uncomfortable.
Exactly, don't promote peoples hell destined path. Help them to realize their sin, and realize how to overcome, and find the Lord.@@jupiterrising887
I feel like we as Christians shouldn't look at this issue in a very different way than we do other sins. Just because society treats it like it isn't a sin, doesn't mean that we should - and that includes the love for sinners, not just the hatred for the sin. It goes both ways. God Bless you all, and prayers for all those in the LGBTetc. community, that they may see the light of the gospel and commit good not evil acts.
P.S., good job to the whole Impact team for even addressing this issue. It may be controversial and uncomfortable, but it's important, and we should always address issues, condemn sin, and embrace sinners - no matter what society thinks or doesn't think.
We should embrace them, and it's also important to criticize unChristian behavior, such as same-gender intercourse or cross-dressing, in a humble and polite manner.
@@brianburns9105 To clarify, what I meant was treating all sins *as* sins, not entirely equally. Like, I obviously know that murdering someone is a greater sin than stealing their paperclip, obviously, but both are sins, is my point.
@@brianburns9105 all sins lead to death eventually.. if you like lesser sins you can lead yourself to greater ones
I think you need to check "heresy"
1st john 5vs15 to 17 this requires a break down to fully understand it
If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

@@Capre_diem_Jesus... good as there is no sin in being born LGBT
You're right. There is no problem with being tempted with homosexual thoughts but indulging yourself in the sin with physical actions and lust full thoughts is a sin. In the book of Mathew Jesus says: "But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28. Of course this goes for both men and women and either straight or gay. Yet if you believe that taking action in homosexual desires or same sex marriages, think back to First Corinthians. Paul the Apostle wrote: "Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people -- none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God." First Corinthians 6:9-10. Jesus, in his time of temptation in the wilderness, showed us that it is not a sin to be tempted, but it is a sin when you give into the temptation and let your flesh overrule you.

I really needed this. I feel God calling me to spread his word to the non-believers in the furry community. I haven't gotten the proper knowledge on how to show God's love, while at the same time holding onto my faith. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to me through this video. 😀
YEEESS!! 💪🙌 That's so awesome my friend! ^^

Honestly, I don't know how to handle things. I'm willing to change. Please, somebody help.
Being a Christian is quite a delicate dance for sure. A lot of harm has been committed in the name of God and religion. I feel like we are left to clean up the mess of the early church to get back to the foundation of Jesus' message, which is incredibly difficult to do given the church's history 😩
So many people have used our religion as a way to spread so much pain and suffering. Those people were evil, but we christians today with our more wide knowledge of the internet can become better and live the life that god wishes us to live. Amen 🙏

This is a life-changing video, not just for Christian but for everyone who don't like Christian ❤️✝️
its homophobics we need to help
They never said they didn’t like Christianity, some people just don’t understand it.
Wow i really like these videos! So many people around me will say. “There is no ‘5 step’ Gospel.” And while that is right, we often turn it into a semantic, where every time we hear the word “step” we instantly discredit it! To the point where people would already shun a video like this if they just saw “5 steps to…” in a title! I love how you make it a “5 step” demonstration, without actually referring to a “5 step” Gospel! Great work! This seems to be what a youtube channel dedicated to God looks like! Continue to keep it that way bro! See you upstairs!
As someone who was once in a very strict, religious household, and I was very much be THAT Christian who absolutely would not allow anyone to say anything about LGBTQ and just spew verse after verse. But when I left that household, I opened my mind, and tried to see things from a different light than what I was raised. In my opinion now, as a minority supporter, I won’t even kindly discuss things with them about this, because they HAVE heard it before, they HAVE gone through lots of hate already, they KNOW all of the things that I would’ve told them. We need to respect them for being human just like us, whether you support them or not. And I’ll just go ahead and say, even though I know I will be getting hateful comments, I’ve transitioned to believing that it’s okay. Given the HUGE community, I needed to do research. I greatly recommend just doing some research, as I don’t know everything, but now I know a lot more than I did.
As a woman who identifies as bisexual and a follower of Jesus, I appreciate a lot of this video! There are a lot of points I agree with. I disagree with the belief of 'homosexuality being sinful'. It is true there are passages in various translations of the Bible that speak negatively of homosexual relationships which is definitely where this debate comes in within Christianity about 'is homosexuality sinful?'. As I see it, Jesus supports love and his instructions towards people in regard to the religious laws were not seemingly caring about the religious laws but rather people's hearts. I can see where homosexuality can be 'sinful' and also any sexual relationship. Where I see Moses instructions to the people for how to live in regard to cleanliness, food, reproductive and sex laws, all these laws had a beneficial purpose to them, these laws were health laws, especially because men having penetrative sex carried a higher risk of STDs and having children meant there would be a new supply of workers to care for the elderly. There was concern and care for his people with these laws. The love for his people was the 'Godly' aspect. Not the law. However, as we look at homosexual relationships through the knowledge we have today, we can see there is a lot less risk of STDs, likewise with heterosexual relationships because we have learned more about STDs to know how the are transmitted and how to prevent them. Men can have consensual sexual relationships with each other with no or little risk of STDs when they are aware of the safety methods just as men and women need to be aware of the safety methods to mitigate that risk out of love for their partner. When I read Jesus's teachings I don't see a Jesus that calls for blind following of laws just because someone said so, I see him preach love, that is understanding the true consequences of our actions upon others, as the thing of value. Many people today who believe homosexuality is a sin don't have problems with people not having children or not following kosher laws. And in that I see the misunderstanding of where 'sin' lies. In ways of having sex or making children or preparing food with awareness of harmful earthly consequences to others, that is the 'sin', not sex itself or childbearing itself or food preparation itself. It's that message of it's not things you do, but why you do them, and therefore it's helpful to try to fully understand and be honest with ourselves about why we do/believe things.
Totally with you on this. As a Christian comedian I tend to only make fun of the ideas of other denominations. I make fun of all bad ideas equally. But I sometimes wonder where the line is. My goal is always to make fun of ideas, not people. But when does someone cross the line? I'm not profane or anything like that. Idk... I guess God will judge my heart.
I have no problem talking to one of their community about Jesus. What i find disturbing to say the least is when they go into churches with 'drag shows', and are aggressive in their agenda with public influence. Sure we're all sinners, but most of them reject the knowledge of sin and act like they're right and even now some churches are accepting their heresies into their churches. I have no problem sharing the Gospel with them, but the attitudes of most are very anti-christian. Yes some will listen, hopefully and repent.
That’s what I believe separates homosexuality from other more impulsive sins like theft, or lying. Most thieves and liars do it out of perceived necessity, they’re not typically committed to staying that way. Homosexuals are COMMITTED to their sin. They identify with it. They wake up everyday and consciously decide, “I’m going to continue this same-sex relationship,” or “I’m gonna go have a life-changing surgery.” I personally have struggled with same-sex desires, even dated another man before. But I saw the error in my ways and turned to God. I was serving my lust instead of my God. It becomes a toxic idol. That’s why homosexuality is such a crippling sin, because it infects your whole life.
@prestonh I'm glad to hear your receiving Christ and becoming a believer. Yes, the attitude is the most important thing. Accepting or rejecting Jesus Christ is a decision every person has to decide for themselves, and it's THE most important decision in life. Your eternal destiny depends on it.

Omg Thank you! I am not going to lie I was a little upset when I read the title and was a little confused but after reading your comment, this is exactly how I feel too.

SIN IS SIN …. No matter what the sin is
@@prestonhexactly, I feel this video is treating this sin as though it's stealing a pencil. The lgbt are different, they don't want to listen nor care to stop. They want to live in this sin for the rest of their lives. Sure we can spread the gospel but this video feels like it's telling me to accept them
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. As a strong believing Christian in a public school it can be so hard to both A. Think that this teaching of being in the LGBTQ+ community and B. Be rude to them. This is definitely going to help me to shine the light of Jesus more and possibly try talking with my friends about this topic. Again so much thanks to the author!
This video feels like a garden of hope in my heart. I hope one day all of us Christian brothers and sisters can learn to truly defend the Word of our Lord, but do so with His Love in our hearts while doing so.

We’re not meant to mold and shape people to who we think God wants them to be
We’re meant to be a light in their lives and an encouragement for them to go to God (All they need to do is come to God as they are, opening their hearts and allowing Him in; as they fall in love with the character of God, He will do the molding/shaping to make them into who He DESTINED them to be 🤗)
And as we form relations with people, we can pray with them and speak God’s Word into their life 🙌

Thank you so much for your videos. As a young christian who is looking for answers, they helped me a lot. ❤
I love that he always ends with "Jesus loves you"
For me, it's hard to love these people because the powers that be seem to be pushing this sort of ideology on our children incredibly hard. I probably wouldn't care that much if some random dude was suffering from same sex attraction but otherwise left people alone, but the fact so many people in this community as well as their supporters are dragging kids into the mix causes me to not want anything to do with them.
I wish I could love them the way Jesus does. But then I think about my little niece in California and see all this news of drag queens and LGBT education in elementary schools and the like and it drags me away from doing that.
For those who were part of this community and are trying to break out through Christ, you have my support.
For those who cause His children to stumble 'it would be better to have a millstone hung around their neck and tossed into the depths of the ocean'.
Take heart, justice will be delivered in ways we could never achieve for those who are cruelly corrupting children and worse.
I agree 100%
Just remind yourself that most of them are confused and that the enemy is influencing a demonic plan on this world. I was in the lgbtq but I broke out of that by God showing me the way. If he can help me he can certainly help them. And I thought the lgbtq was right. I was confused. Most people don’t know it’s not right. When I realized that and started to see that I started to actually change my ways of the feeling of it. Now that I know it’s bad I cringe at it but then I remember that we need to help them and they are just confused and led astray. The enemy has made it a big plan and everyone felt like they needed to or was curious about that homosexual way. Not only that but there’s people who got molested by the same gender or saw something traumatic/inappropriate. Then they got affected by it. From what I can remember when I think of how did I become gay in the first place , a movie with a lesbian sex scene comes to mind. But there could’ve been something else that I don’t remember.
I don't understand why is it a sin, because I really do believe in God and I will never stop believing, but becoming a Christian would mean I would never be able to have a family or a partner, or someone I love. That's kinda hard for humans as this is a necessity, I can't just never have sex in my life, and also I wouldn't be able to do it by myself because it's a sin too. What should I do ?Please help me.
@@user-sg3ei1kz8x
Love and sex are different things.
You can foster children, have amazing friends without a romantic love, but the more powerful and meaningful self sacrificial love, agape love.
There are many fatherless children who could use a mentor who can teach them how to not give into lust and fornication by being the example in their lives.
You will always struggle with temptation, but so long as you rely on God, it will never be more than you can bare.
Remember Christ died on the cross for you. He suffered humiliation, torture, ridicule, abandonment and betrayal without complaint for your sins that YOU can stand before God and share in his kingdom.
We must pick up our cross and follow him daily. We all face temptation, but do not act on it for the Lord protects us.
Over time the temptations will not cease, but you may find you can widstand them more easily the more you deny your "flesh". The sinful part of us.
Do not feed your temptations, do not give into the flesh or it will overcome you. Deny the flesh, deny your temptation and and you will overcome it.
Thank you so much as a Christian I felt like you have lifted guilt out of my soul I always thought every single Christian was perfect but this video changed my whole perspective on god thank you
What breaks our Father’s heart should break our heart too. We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. Fight the good fight and contend for The Gospel and saving message of Jesus. HE will finish the good work He begins in someone’s heart. Great video, brother. 👏☝️🎯🫶
Ehh maybe 10 years ago but now a lot of them are going insane.
Don’t condemn those who need help. Pray and wish for their healing (If they ever did any deplorable actions, that is)
I’m the type of person who wants to help. But i am also the type of person who doesn’t want to offend..
I am not ashamed to spread the gospel. I am just scared to offend people but with God.. nothing is impossible
I love this take, I always try to use love, wisdom and prayer to encourage. Encouragement and grace was given to me during my time in sin. It must be given to others as well.
This is such a good video. Such a delicate balance in disagreeing with others beliefs while at the same time helping them understand that regardless of our stance we are sinners and only saved by God's grace for us. Just because we disagree with their sin, we do NOT feel we are any way better and we will love them the same.
better advice is help homophobics to repent
@@pastorbriYou will inherently do this by teaching them to love everyone.
I have to be completely honnest, I find too many of my friends using gay as an insult, I feel that the LGBTQ+ community should have the right to believe in what they want. Of course, that doesn't mean I think it is right to be in a relationship with the same sex, and/or change your sex, but that doesn't mean I can't accept them as people.
Leviticus 20, it's a commandment for them to be put to death. The only reason why they aren't still being put to death is because they have a chance to turn away from their abominations.

My biggest struggle is how to not compromise and be respectful at the same time. Does anyone have advice? How can I humbly show them that homosexuality is a sin without sounding judgmental or causing them to turn away? I often shy away from speaking up and end up compromising. People think I support it because I stay quiet and I need to make it clear I dont. How do I do that though, without pushing them away?
you can’t? you don’t get to be homophobic and not be seen as a homophobe.
Only the Holy Spirit can bring conviction.
Try and befriend them through common interests, act as Christ would have you act, and show them love.
Then, have a conversation with them, and tell them how you feel, make sure not to hide your Christian faith before this, wear it on your sleeve so they don’t feel betrayed. Then speak patiently, and with humility to them, and let the Holy Spirit, who is God, speak through you, and to give you confidence in Him, our Father Jehovah. God bless, and may the Holy Sprit work through you.
@@shootingjester2780 you know what happens after that convo? the lgbt person realizes you were not actually a friend or a caring person, you were just a homophobe and a manipulator, so they cut you off and carry on with their life.
1 Peter 3:15. Unless you are asked, there is no need to bring it up. If the individual truly accepts Christ, the Holy Spirit will bring the conviction and revelation at the appropriate time. He knows the persons character, their heart, and when they are ready to tackle the deeper traumas - including broken sexuality. This is where a lot of Christians get off track when evangelizing to LGBTQ. We have must remember it's about winning souls, not "changing" people into what we think they should be. God has a plan for our lives, and by the work of the Holy Spirit, sanctification and transformation will take place.

hate the sin, but love the sinner, really simple
I’ve stumbled across a few of these videos and to me they really accurately resonate with the heart of Jesus. So many people are jumping on this anti gay/lesbian stuff and just plainly getting on their high horse and condemning them. But how are we less sinful? One night heterosexual sex, fornication, pride, judgment, we’re all the bloody same, all people, all sinners, most of whom are just doing their best to survive in this small period of life on earth

what if i’m a woman who is in love with a woman but won’t marry nor practice sex with her?
My male best friend is bisexual and doesn't believe in God, one day I talked to him about Faith and he revealed that he also believes there is some kind of god but not God..I think that's because he never read the Bible and so he only knows the "stereotypes" about Christians but not Jesus.
I think that's a begging, I can try to make him know Jesus, if He will help me.
THIS IS IT, THANK YOU!!
I found it terrible that the reason so many people of the lgbt+ community are so far away from God is that their CHURCH and CHRISTIANS, SCARED THEM AWAY FROM GOD
Truly depressing, but I understand them. When you’ve been rejected and insulted and threatened to go to hell by a community that calls themselves loving it can give you a false vision of what God’s love is like..
I’ve internalised homophobia.
I’m a new Christian, it’s been 3 to 4 years since I’ve slowly opened up my heart to God and started being faithful. It’s been 2 years since I’ve started attending church :]
I’m a lesbian.
I know it’s a sin, but repeating this to myself has made me use the scripture wrongly. I used it to harm and shame myself, not guide myself.
But that’s not what the scripture is for.
I’ve decided to focus on being closer to God and following his word and using it to guide me closer to him as well as go further in this mentality and faith that resonates so much with me. And It helps me a whole ton and I love God so much :] I’ve learned to love others far more as well and many other things!
I’ve been thinking maybe my love (which is not lustful, I’m not interested in sex and HATE the topic) for woman is what I should sacrifice for God.
I want to marry someone and raise children, but I guess I can do that alone?… Or with a friend? The raising kids part, I mean. I’m not falling in love with a man. I know I’ve always liked feminine people.
It’s just that, scientifically and morally, lgbt+ people being a thing makes total sense and it’s condamned. And I wouldn’t brush it off to the Bible’s age like some sexist things, because Jesus and other very important people like Paul of the New Testament said it themselves!
Yeah, I’ll see in due time. I’m done rambling. I’l very grateful to you for this vidéo, to you all for this community, and to God for both and many other things :)
Take care!❤
this is by far the best explanation I have seen about how to share gospel with the people from LGBT....but remember..... dont persue them any further if they dont have the heart to listen.....

I love this. God judges SIN, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual. Many Christians feel a marker of deliverance for the homosexual is for them to become heterosexual. The fact is, many homosexuals may NEVER feel heterosexual urges once saved. For some, this will be their “thorn in the side.” I can’t imagine how hard it must be that even once saved, you would be committing to a life of celibacy. We must empathize with those who find Christ and turn from this form of sin. At the end of the day, we are not encouraging anyone to go into a life of fornication on either side. Preach Jesus. Preach that He came for the sinner, and that He loves us all.
From what I know ... Homosexuality is fine on the basis of attraction, but the sexual and physical acts of homosexuality is a sin.
You are so lost. Homosexual urges are from Satan. There is no such thing as a 'homosexual', only homosexual acts. Homosexuality is a sin you commit, it's not who you are.
Wow...
I need to work on doing that.
Thank you for making this video. I think I really needed it
I am a Christian, and I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER judge someone for their sexual orientation or their preferred gender. I will use their preferred pronouns, and I will not disrespect them or their partner on purpose. All this because that is them, their business. And if my friend is gay, I will not throw away such a precious relationship for that. God told us to love others, and I think the only right thing to do, is love everyone!
I used to judge LGBTQ and furries. But the more I learned about God and most importantly this video and a few others online, I've learned not to judge or condemn otherwise I will be too. God didn't send me to judge or condemn, he sent me to love others the same way he loved me regardless of who they are. So, I don't judge anymore because they say that the follower of God who judges is like Satan. I respect other's free will the same way God respects mine. Yes, I know and have some friends who are bisexual and one who is lesbian and I don't say anything. I love the person, but not their practices. Regardless, it taught me to put more love in my heart and let go of hatred.
You do realize that God finds homosexuality an abomination, right?
I was just talking about this with my dad last night. I’m really glad this video was made, I’m definitely gonna be mindful of these reasons and be more loving and humble!
but not be ok with the homophobic lifestyle
I have friends that are apart of LGTBQ+ and I’m always terrified to confront them about it… because I don’t want to lose they’re friendship… and at the same time.. my parents seem to hate on LGTBQ+ and seem think they’re all the same and disgusting… I don’t know how to confront them about this either…
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
God put that thought on your heart for reason, step out in faith.
Show your parents and your friends this video. Tell your friends you love them in this way and hope to see them repent.
Tell your parents that we need more Christ like love to those imprisoned by the devil, hoping that some of them will repent.
Tell them that Jesus loves them and show them the Bible tell them how much you care and tell them that you also make mistakes and try to to extend love, grace and forgiveness but do not just say oh its fine. If it is your friend talk to them to bring them down but up.
@@apostlepost Thank you so much... I'll do my best to show them how to love them... Even if they don't follow our beliefs...
What would your confrontation be for the "LGBTQ+" friends?
I just started watching some of your videos, and I'm really enjoying them. If you haven't done one already, you could do a video on self-esteem.
great idea! thank you! :)
@@ImpactVideoMinistries No problem.
@@ImpactVideoMinistries Can i ask you? Does God understand what it's like to be a mere mortal man with human problems? And are people really to blame if they are initially born this way? Can this be called a full-fledged sin? But what about people who are born and feel like a different gender?
The comment section truly breaks my heart. Knowing that by loving our neighbors as ourselves the world will know we are his disciples, they choose to fill their hearts with hatred and play the role of Satan, the accuser. They have truly not gotten the difference between Satan's condemnation and the Holy Spirit's conviction. 💔
Wow!!!! This is such a great video! The way you guys preach is so awesome! I believe God is proud you guys ❤
Yes but The Bible says in Eziekel 3:18 “
When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.” So I think we need to tell them but like the video said we need to be gentle and loving.
Jesus loves us all thank you for helping me for realizing things and thank you God for helping me find this
I remember years ago as a kid, a pastor had said about a man who was a criminal, someone who had a big name at the time I think for murder. The man had apparently decided to become christian while in prison, though idk if that's true or not. But I remember the pastor saying "even though we don't like him, he's going to heaven."
I'm in my 20's rn trying to be better, and I look back sometimes and think "isn't it a good thing if the man asked for forgiveness and repented?" I've also begun to let go of rage and more, and it's helped with learning to forgive and love my enemies, even if I choose not to let them deceive me again. But it isn't my place to say where they will go, as I am someone who will also be judged by God.
I was completely scared to watch this video, but, to my surprise, this wasn't pro-LGBT, and it wasn't out to accept their sin. It actually hit home in a way I wasn't expecting: I've been the sheep among wolves in my friend group for a little while now, as the only Christian, and pretty much only person who doesn't believe in gender ideology, and that homosexuality and beyond is a moral wrong. I've wracked my head and prayed to God how to reach them, and, funny enough, I came to essentially the same conclusions this video did: To love them through their sin, show them what a Christian is, and show them God's love through me as much as possible. We're called to let our little lights shine, not because we're in any way better (we're NOT), but because it's the only way we can light someone else's fire for Jesus. It takes courage, something I personally lack, but together, even saving one friend, can mean the world of a difference.
"We shouldn't hate the people. We should hate the sin," was the first thing I said in the first day when I started going to a new church.
Recently, I was able to meet God, not just be a "christian" who went to church because I did. Church became my favorite place to be at, and my pastor became one of my favorite people. Church isn't fun because of friends. It is because of all the knowledge it provides me about God. Every single day, I sit at the front, just watching. Listening.
In my old school, we learned about genders and transgender in 3rd grade. This shocked me so much. It turned out, that I was the only one who disagreed with it. Currently, in my current school, everyone's crazy about LGBTQ+. Almost every single class has the flag hung above the whiteboard, and almost all of my friends are either bisexual or asexual. This really saddens me. To see everyone being lied to, and not only that, but accepting it. I want to tell them everything. But at the same time, I'm scared what will happen. I'm scared I'll lose everyone for it. I hope that I'll be able to gather up the courage with God's help. One day, one of my closest friends, asked me and my other friend, "would you rather love me romantically or hate me?" I answered her: "friend love is real," (as saying that I would love her as a friend). I feel like the term love is overused as "romance", even though as the video said, love means to put someone else's needs above yours. We need to learn to love everyone-no matter what-as a brother or sister, just like how Jesus loved all of the tax collectors and sinners. Every day, I pray for the people who have been lied to.
The reason I had already knew that LGBTQ+ is a sin from a very young age is because my mother had made me join this summer program (for two years) that taught children about LGBTQ+, abortion, etc and why it is a sin. Big thanks to my mother for it, because without it, I probably would have seen this world so differently. If a parent is reading this, please put your child in a class or educate your child about this (especially when they are younger)
Recently (been a week), me and 36 other people came back from a mission. We did a VBS (the first one where I actually helped with). We expected the kids to come and leave with frowns, but we saw so many smiles. We had a total of 55 kids (a record!), and a bunch of youth people as well. It was a great experience, to pray for and help them. It's out job as christians to plant the seed in the people, and for God to provide it with everything and grow it.
This one thing my paster said still stays in my heart all the time, "they added all those letters; lgbtqabc(list goes on), to be unified. But no one can be unified without God.
I'll leave off with saying, "God is for everyone, no matter your age, your skin color, where you come from, who you are, God loves you. He wants to meet you. He wants to be your best friend."
I read over this comment myself so many times, but each time I read it, I wonder what people will think about it. I wonder if I said the correct words.
Thank you for reading this (VERY LONG) comment that summarizes about 3 years of my life. I hope you have a nice day/night. Thank you.
I was watching and looking at this channel yesterday and wondering if I could reach out and ask for your help to draw a specific scene that I can then turn into a multilingual tract for my street ministry. I prayed about it last night and just happened to be on the channel almost skipped this video, but clicked on it. Guess what? The very exact thing that I was hoping to ask to be drawn was right before my eyes. The Lord, our creator of all that is answered my prayers. Thank you and Blessings to your ministry.
I don’t hate the people but I don’t support their practices
I asked this 2 weeks ago at church. Thanks for answering this question.
I love this video! I love those in the LGBT community because I was once in it. I feel how they felt. I know what it was like - But God. He changed everything, loved me more than male or female ever could, and He led me to the right path and saved me from a world of heartaches.
How?
I am learning to practiced detached compassion. That is to love someone for being a human soul, while remaining fully separated from their choices or place in life. It is so difficult to be this way. My old self was very judge mental and sharp with certain types. Walking in the light of Christ is not easy for me, but I am trying.
The love starts with acknowledging the sin and acknowledging that you cannot continue to practice sin and be a Christian. We can't sugarcoat it.
That is the whole point of the video (love the sinner, hate the sin, explain to them that it's wrong)
that s not as simple because the devil knows we could escape so he sends evil spirits we call demons to ensure it s more difficulte to escape this is why even christians could be tempted by lustful thoughts and living in the surrounding of evil practices and bad behaviors... this is why we can see in the Bible many people know God but have a sinful life style... and the Bible says ..to beat them u shall maditate the word of God and use it against the temptation, like Jesus did against satan in the desert, he also said many evil spirit only leave through fat and prayer... the Bible also says When u manage to expell evil spirits from your life they wont go far they ll stay somewhere nearby seeking for the chance to comeback and if u open the gates again they ll come with 7 more dangerous spirits with them so it ll be harder for you to overcome... so u ll be this christian that knows God and u ll know that sin is bad but u ll do it anyway cause u ll be like this man full of legion... that s why we shall change our way of life our habits watching what we re exposed to everyday and call the holy spirit inside our lives , meditate his word and pray so the evil spirit wont find any occasion to reach us ..and remember..Our body is a temple for the holy spirit so if we re used to do things that dont suit him he wont feel at home so the evil spirits ll come and take the place ..
Yeah that's what I love about this video, he explains that in the end. 😉
Yes! I agree. I’ve never seen anyone make fun of their culture though but I’m sure this behavior it exists. My husband and I hate the sexual part of culture, and the “prideful” part of it, but we never hate the people or the person. 🙏🏼 I have a friend who identifies as lesbian but that part has never caused me to not want to be her friend. I care and pray for her and Jesus is answering prayer. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
