    2021 thanks for discussing with such great clarity and done with a foundation of love! I lived a gay/drag/transgender lifestyle for 14/15 years… I’ve been delivered and saved going on 10years now. Thank Jesus for His work on the cross!!! my personal message to the LGBTQ community is that there is hope and His name is Jesus 💛 I’m a product of His Mercy and Grace

    You delivered this message in a very profound loving manner. You were strategic in the manner in which you taught this message- you were able to teach truth which is what we need. We don't need to compromise on what the Word of God says about sin period. Thank you.

    This man does a great job when it comes to speaking the truth in love. Ephesians 4:15 talks about speaking the truth in love. God wants people to speak the truth about the Gospel in loving, kind, gentle, and firm ways instead of rude, unloving, and harsh ways, and this man is great at being loving, kind, gentle, and firm when sharing the Gospel to people.
    Evangelical Christians don't hate homosexuals, aren't intolerant bigots, aren't homophobic, etc; they just don't agree with homosexual behavior. I think some people think Christians don't like homosexuals because a lot of times when Christians say things like homosexuality is a sin due to the Bible saying so without explaining why God doesn't approve of homosexuality, it turns people off because other religions justify racism, hate, bigotry, evil, etc in the name of religion. This causes people to think Christians don't like homosexuals, are using religion to justify bigotry, etc, when in reality that's not true. Christians believe in treating homosexuals with respect, not making fun of, not bullying, etc homosexuals, not committing hate crimes against homosexuals, never refusing to friends with someone due to them being homosexual, not refusing to hire someone for engineering jobs, mechanic jobs, fast food jobs, retail jobs, hospital jobs, etc due to their sexual orientation, etc, but at the same time, Christians don't agree with people engaging in homosexual sexual behavior.
    People can't help the kinds of sexual urges that they have, but people can control the kind of sexual behavior that they engage in. God doesn't want people to engage in any kind of sexual behavior that violates the golden rule, that causes health problems, and/or that causes psychological problems. God doesn't want anyone to engage in sexual behavior that violates the golden rule, causes health problems and/or causes psychological problems regardless of how they feel, regardless of the kind of sexual urges they have, etc.

    He didn’t create them even biological just male and female. There are people who have either both or no genitalia too. What is your outlook on this?

    To be completely honest I was going to click off the video because I thought the preacher was gonna sugar coat this topic and succumb to Societys acceptance of the LGBTQ community and shy away from giving a straight answer. But I've got to give it to him... He said the truth and gave it to you straight. Loved the message and the way he approached it.
