James King, Luke 9: 54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, *Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.* And they went to another village. 1Cor 6: 11 *And such were some of you:* but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1John 3: 14-17 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
There's many ways. But all through love. Not all people are ad humble and respectful as these men. We minister according to the response of the crowd or person. "Save some with Fear, pulling them out of the fire" Jude 1:23. Some need hard rebuke through love and some with meekmess and gentleness. We're led by the spirit. Not all have to minister this way. Open air preaching is different from one-on-one ministering like this. Remember, Jesus said "the whole world hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil".
I like that the preacher never once condemned the men for being homosexual, but he took them through the 10 commandments and the gospel. I bet that the young man was completely surprised that this guy was so loving. May the Lord turn their hearts to Himself. He is able!
I disagree. God doesn't make people "gay." People are born with propensities toward certain behaviors. That doesn't make them right. I am a married man, and yet I (the sin nature in me that I am still fighting) want to look at other women lustfully. Is God responsible for that? No. God gave me sexual desires which are good when consummated in marriage. He gives me the choice, along with his power supplied by grace to say "no" to those evil desires of coveting another woman. In the same, way, some people are born with a propensity to be attracted to the same sex. Through my experience talking with homosexual men about this (my friend both is gay and I've chatted with him about this) there has been either abuse or a strained/missing father relationship at the root of it. You mix that with a biological tendency and it often results in homosexual desires. My neighbor and many of his friends are gay and we got along great and chatted about this kind of stuff often. When he died a few weeks ago, I visited him at the hospital to share Christ with him one last time. I loved that man. He was a great neighbor to me too. What is the solution? Try to turn gays into straights? No! It's to turn them to Jesus Christ. Over time, if they put his Lordship above their perceived sexual identity, they will either change orientation or decide, like some already have, to simply become celibate and control their desires. Is it easy? Of course not. Jesus never claimed that living for Him would be easy. But it is joyful. It is not a sin to be "gay." It is a sin to practice the behavior. The Bible says: "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men" I Corinthians 6:9 Listen, we all need the Savior. Homosexuality is not the worst sin. Pride is. Pride is at the root of it all. Wanting other things more than God and pretending that he doesn't exist has created all the evils in the world, and, yes, including homosexuality. (Romans 1 explains this in detail. ) The solution is this. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." God is loving, and loves the sinner in their sin, even as His wrath abides on them. If they will repent (acknowledge that their sin is indeed sinful, with a desire to turn away from it) and put faith in Jesus Christ, they will be born again (John 3:3-21) and changed into a new person! ( 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Fine Art by Matt Philleo, Excellent post. I have ministered to ex-gay people for many years. This is so true. We are all born sinners with the propensity to sin. I left homosexuality 16 years ago through Christ. Not because I went straight, but because I wanted to be holy because He is holy. I wanted Jesus more than my sinful practices. It is important to note that temptation is not your identity, and you do not have to act on them either. 1 Cor 6:11.
Fine Art by Matt Philleo, you may disagree, but let’s see what the Bible has to say about it rather than our opinions. You start off with the assumption that all same-sex relationships are sin. I used to think the same thing until I did a LOT of research. I would encourage you to go to the original languages (Greek and Hebrew) and see what God really intended by these so called “gay passages”. ALL of the same-sex activity in the Bible is attributable to abusive practices (gang rape, pederasty, temple prostitution, etc.), and all of these are wrong whether in a gay or straight context. I am part of a group of straight pastors, seminary professors, and church leaders who have been asking a very important question about all of this: “Why do LGBT youth from Christian homes have a suicide rate that is NINE TIMES higher than that of LGBT people in general??” (and just so you know, LGBT youth from non-Christian homes already have alarmingly high suicide rates!) So we started asking ourselves if we have been giving the wrong advice these past few decades? Could we be misunderstanding these passages about same-sex activity? When studying the Bible, we need to take into account the original author and audience, as well as the cultural context of the day. After all, we are separated by language, culture, and 2000+ years. Thus a deep dive into the Hebrew and Greek texts is essential. It is also important to understand history (looking at the past 3000 years), as well as psychology, politics, and science. Yes, even science! After all, it took science to teach us that the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around - which appeared to be contradictory to Scripture, thus causing some to be imprisoned by the Church. In short, from my intense study on the subject, I am convinced that ALL of the same-sex passages in the Bible pertain to abusive sexual practices: gang rape, idolatry, pederasty (a type of pedophilia), etc. Please note that all of these would be equally as sinful if they were heterosexual in nature. We don’t see the “attack on gays” until the 3rd or 4th century (long after the Biblical passages were written). Thus the perspective people had about gays in the 1st century is paramount to properly understanding Romans 1, I Cor 6:9, and I Tim 1:10. From what I have studied, there was a LOT more homosexual activity going on in the first century than even today! Even then, such homosexual activity in and of itself was not considered bad by any of the biblical writers. Yet the abusive forms of such were bad - and thus Paul wrote what he wrote. I didn't just read some books to come to this conclusion, I traveled thousands of miles and researched in old archives, learned Greek and Hebrew at a master's degree level, and spent YEARS studying in order to really seek to understand what God intended from these "gay passages". I am serious about this because I learned that we have seen the largest amount of teen and young adult suicide in the past few decades - and guess what corresponds to that - the word "homosexual" wasn't even in the Bible until 1946, just a few decades ago. Keep in mind that before the King James Bible (1611), the German Bible was translated and it says in Lev 18:22 and 20:13 "man shall not lie with little boys as he does with a woman..." THUS pederasty (NOT homosexuality) was considered the sin in these verses as well as I Cor 6:9 and I Tim1:10. I must say I am glad that you are reaching out to gay neighbors and friends, and not seeing them as a disease. Yet I think there is much you can learn by digging deeper to understand the bigger picture of human sexuality - much of which we were clueless about just 10-15 years ago. God created sexual orientation, and we are just beginning to learn about it. It reminds me of how God created the earth and the sun and the moon and the planets - and just a few hundred years ago the Church imprisoned people for daring to “go against Scripture passages” that they believed taught that the earth is in the center of the universe. We have misunderstood the Bible in the past - are we misunderstanding it yet again? It's up to our generation to fix this! May God bless you!
Jerry Young, I am not sure where you are getting your information from, but you may want to question the accuracy of your sources. I am well-connected with many highly educated and well-researched people in this conversation and have NEVER heard anyone say anything about “abandoning the idea that anyone is being born gay”. Also just so you know, there is not a single documented case of someone changing from gay to straight. You said, “Scripture clearly condemns anything outside of a heterosexual monogamous marital sexual union.”, but this is simply not true. I would like to point out King Solomon who had hundreds of wives and was blessed by God. I could go on and on with refuting your claim with MANY things, but will refrain for now. Scripture NEVER teaches that homosexuality is wrong. NEVER. From your comment I gather that you have never studied Greek or Hebrew at an academic level. Am I correct? As far as your remark that “the increased rates within the homosexual community of domestic violence, drug abuse, suicide, disease and more would point to it as a very unhealthy and unnatural behavior.” WOW. Where did you get this information? If you are referring to a study in the 1990’s that some pastors use to show a highly dysfunctional group of people regarding these vices, that study has since been discarded by both sides of the conversation as inaccurate and misleading. So once again, you may want to check your sources! I truly hope you will dig deeper. God bless you.
Brings tears to my eyes to see the true gospel presented with such love and compassion. A true example of Jesus. This is love in action at it's finest!
This man witnessing to them is exactly how I would imagine Jesus himself reaching out to others - how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel to the dying
I’m not sure that Jesus would have ever said “believe in me or I’ll send you to prison. Forever.” He seemed more of an actions-speak-louder-than-words kind of guy to me.
Not in a mean way, but that's why I don't believe how the bible is, because there is so many contradictions, but I do believe afterlife, from paranormal activity, I think people are born gay from unbalanced of testosterone in the womb, I don't know exactly, but I heard from scientists, I heard and saw and learned that being born transgender is in the brain that is the opposite gender from their body, cat scans shows it, they did cat scans on transgender and non transgender and it shows that trans-men, their brain is the same as a biological men and trans-women, their brain is the same as a biological women. You can't change your chromosomes but your brain don't match your chromosomes is transgender. They did cat scans on xx born female and their brain is xy they are called trans-men, match biological man,their brains are the same and that's why they have dysphoria, same for xy body male with xx brain is called trans-women, their brain matches biological women and you born man with man brian and get a vaginal then you still a man because your brain is not female and if your a woman and have woman brain then get a penis your still a woman because you don't have a man brain. It's real transgender from cat scans, because of science evidence. So transgender man is xx body= female body with xy male brain and xy body= male body with xx brain is transgender woman. And people born cis male is xy body with xy brain and cis woman is born xx body with xx brain. And cis men and cis women are not transgender. Gender is in the brain. So it's to be born male brain with male body and female brain in female body you get no dysphoria because your brain matches your body. That's why transgender have dysphoria because their brain is female brain in male body that's trans-woman they identify as a woman how they really feel and male brain in female body is called trans-male they identify as a man how they really feel. And transgender that is how you are born even before hormones and surgery, their brain still is xx body with xy brain that is trans-male/trans-man and xy body with xx brain is trans-female/trans-woman, the cat scans showed this before hormones and surgery. That is why most trans-men and trans-women get surgery to match their brain, even though they know that can not ever change their chromosomes, but a least make their body more appearance to their brain as possible, that decrease dysphoria of their body.
The Lord has gave you a beautiful gift. Speaking with love. You are not feeding with religion, but with the Love of the Lord! May the Lord always bless your ministry!
Anthony Lucky I pray for these young men. I believe the sincerity of the preacher touched them in a way few messages do. The video is a great model for Christian outreach.
This way of evangelizing comes from Ray Comfort. I think his ministry is called "Living Waters." You're right, it is a loving way to reach people. "The law of the Lord is perfect for converting the soul." Before we can give people God's wonderful gift of Jesus they must see themselves through the 10 commandments (Law) - guilty! Then they are more willing to receive God's gift of love. The pearl of great price!
Fate Haggots Shame on you Salvation is a gift from the father and anyone is invited to that gift. Anyone who wants to leave the old behind and be renewed and restored in him is able to if they are willing to surrender. You don’t know if they will leave their way of living to pursue a living with God. You don’t know if they want to receive God and be transformed. You don’t know what God can do and what a willing heart they may have. It all comes to relationship with Christ this isn’t a religious thing it s a relationship with the father. They may change their thinking and way of living you don’t know what is in store for them. Shame on you because if you are believer you should be praying for them not condemning them who are you to do that. Two most important commandments love God above all things and love your neighbor as your self. You shouldn’t be spreading words of hate you should know better. I personally believe you are not even a believer but a person trying to make Christians look bad.
@Fate Haggots, good point ,what do you do with the, Holy Bible, for the word of God is quick, and Powerful, and sharper then any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 Holy Bible know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but you are sanctified, but ye are Justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 9: 11

i think there is a time and place for both types of preaching. But it takes a spiritually sensitive person who is ''hearing'' how to approach individuals with the right word or gesture at the right time and place to be effective. If one is walking by faith and in the spirit and not being ''religous''...so many can be so deeply touched rather than repulsed away from Jesus
I was just going to comment that this is exactly the way to do it if it's going to be done. Winsome, caring, upbeat. The subject matter is heavy enough without the witness being heavy-handed or smarmy or negative or tough or angry or loud. Genuinely motivated by love rather than by winning a street debate or convincing of being right, it shows. Well done.

"While we were yet sinners Christ loved us." Its something you can't take away. Even if people never find God that doesn't stop God from loving them. "He causes it to rain on the just and the unjust."

Ian Strange If Hitler had been caught and placed before a judge and a jury of his peers, jury finds him guilty and the judge declares that he is a loving judge and absolves Hitler and sets him free, would that be loving and just to the 11 million victims he had killed and their survivors?
Ethan Hocking what is the easy grace gospel? It's only by the grace of God that all of us won't be ending up in the lake of fire. So I don't understand what you mean.
Ethan Hocking oh well then that's madness. I would wonder if that person really believes. Cus there is no way you can be reading this book called the Bible and think you should just be doing as you feel. Struggling with sin is normal, that's what romans 7 is about but actually saying you don't care.... Hmm
Ethan Hocking well believing IS the only way you can get to heaven. Its nothing to do with what you do. That's your Christian walk after you are saved. Salvation is one time event. The moment you truly believe you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. But I understand what you are getting at. That's why Paul said... For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Galatians 5:13 KJV So you have freedom in Christ but don't use this freedom to do as you feel. Aim to walk in a way pleasing to God.
I'm a Christian and my heart goes out to these young men. I just want to show them love and have them know the perfect love of God. They are so sweet and innocent. They deserve to know God's love. This man is a wonderful minister. Great video.
@Austin3;16KOStunner WWEClassics --"being gay is a sin". Yeah according to the Bible. But why should anyone care what the Bible says? Why would anyone care what a bunch of ancient bigots thought about sexuality?
Wow!!! What an excellent interviewer! He was humble, not condesending and put them completely at ease to talk with him. His care and concern is so obvious.
That man has got seriously incredible social skills. For two people who would naturally be very defensive, he got them onside so quickly. A very good skill to have.
I like the kindness of this preacher who obviously saw these two young men as precious souls. I got the impression that they will never forget this discussion because it was so kind and respectful.
@@flipwright1138 "...It's okay if they're gay right..." ? Only non active ( non practicing ) gays are acceptable to God. You may not have control over the way you ARE, but you certainly have control over what you DO.
I'm assuming your questions are serious, and you're not just trolling. Forgiveness is always available to those who GENUINELY seek it. However God has set the standard and parameters for what is considered righteous conduct. We would be mocking Him, His sacrifice on the cross for OUR sins, and His consequent grace ( unmerited forgiveness ) if we were to continue in sin until just before we die. How do you think He would feel about that ? How would YOU feel if you were He ? And consider this too ; most of us don't know WHEN we will die. Is it not wiser to behave according to our Maker's will and be assured of salvation, than to flaunt our sins in His face and suddenly have to confront Him in our unsaved state, without excuse ? The time to reform our lives is now. When we're dead it may be too late. ( unknown quote ) "I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than stand with the world and be judged by God".
@@gribwitch It appears according to you the gay community (or any supposed sinner) will be fine as long as they repent before death. If that is true doesn't it seem that someone can go through life sinning (in your eyes) yet be redeemed just before death. Yet someone who lived a good yet non Religious ( pick one of a thousand Religions) life, is destined to a lifetime of torture. Poppycock. Bollocks.
kaship98 Nope. We believe it because the Spirit of God is indwelled in us. And also because the Bible is backed by history and archeology. Santa Claus is not backed by either of these but Jesus Christ is and a large majority of the entire Bible. Check into it.
VideoAudioDisco09 there is more information pertaining the the life of Christ than there is about any other person in history. You can trace his lineage back to the foundations of earth - from ancestor to ancestor spanning thousands of years. Research more, learn more.
VideoAudioDisco09 Without the knowledge of God you are living in a lie and far from the truth. Also, you must be a former Roman Catholic. The Gospels date back to around 23 to 40 BC and are first hand accounts written by those whom were closest to Jesus - his disciples, his brothers and even he is even mentioned in The Antiquities of the Jews written by a Jewish Historian by the name of Flavius Josephus early within the First Century AD. And actually, if you talk about spreading the actual Gospel of Christ, credit that to the Apostle Paul. He spread the Gospel further than even Billy Graham. God’s will and Paul’s obedience to it are the reason why Christianity thrives. God’s Word does not return to Him void. It always accomplishes the thing for which it was sent. As for texts, there are more authentic transcripts of the New Testament written within First Century A.D., than there are of any other historical document in existence and they all say the same thing. And as far as Constantine goes, he was nothing more than a puppet of Satan who intertwined occulted and pagan worship into true Christianity founding the largest cult on earth known as the Roman Catholic Church. Don’t know what or where you have been researching, but each and everyday evidence is presented in favor and building cases towards the historicity of the Bible. I pray that God opens your heart and spirit to truly know who He is.
VideoAudioDisco09 there are more sources about Jesus Christ than there are about Julius Caesar but no one disputes he ever existed. We simply do this to Jesus because we do not want to face the consequences of or sick, twisted and perverted nature because the existence of a “god” calls us into conviction and accountability. You must answer and be held responsible for your actions. You claim to know so much but know so little. Your world view is limited and narrow. How are Hitler or Einstein the most well known figures of history and the existed only within the last 100+ years but Jesus Christ lived on earth more than 2000 years ago but everyone pretty much knows about Him whether they or not they accept the fact of who He is. But I will not argue with you anymore, it’s your life. I’m shaking the dust off my feet and you do whatever it is you want.
this Pastor did so well relating, helping, clarifying, being personable & kind . very well done! it wasn't aggressive, it wasn't mean,. And big respect to the two guys for being open and honest- also to stand there and listen and be responsive.
Rusty Writer Thank you for your response. Please hear me out before quickly responding - They don't need to change their orientation. Perhaps it is a thorn in their flesh that they simply wont be able to act upon - the same exact way that many Christians struggle with the sin of pornography (which is also sexual immorality) and still desire/lust after it regardless of however many years of life and study and personal growth. Perhaps they will be one of the people that benefit from the teachings of the Apostle Paul when he was talking about remaining single. (They can devote more time, study, and life toward God than having to spread out their time during the pursuit of marriage) 1 Corinthians 7 isn’t prescribing singleness or marriage but rather telling Christians to make the choices that help each of us MOST glorify God. Each individual is made different by God, thus singleness may be better for some and marriage may be better for some. Glorifying God, serving God, and being in an intimate relationship with God is the main point. So it doesn't matter what your orientation is, you simply do whatever you can to best emulate Jesus for this short time on Earth.
Moonchild17 hiya, I think it's because they are misinformed and haven't actually read the Bible or studied what they claim to believe in. The VAST majority of people who claim to be "Christians" really aren't Christians at all. These false Christians spread hate and judgment on others and misinterpret scripture out of context which brings a lot of confusion and ill-conceived perception from non-Christians. That's why Jesus said many will come before Him at the end and expect to be saved, but He will say "but you never actually had a relationship with me... You only claimed to be a Christian but never walked by the holy spirit".. God created every thing as good... humans in their fallen, sin-filled lives have twisted and corrupted what was intended to bring joy and worship. Sex in the form it was created for is a beautiful & intimate experience. :)
@@moonchild1758 Sex is not inherently evil. It is a gift bestowed by God. It is meant to be exclusively performed within a ( heterosexual ) MARITAL relationship.

Most ppl know St John 3:16...but, I just love verse 17 that says that GOD sent JESUS not into the world to “condemn” the world but that the world “might” be SAVED ( rescued) through (by) HIM. Might be rescued because it is the choice each will have to make but JESUS is available to all. Whosoever will, LET HIM/HER COME.

We can’t pick and choose what we want to accept in the bible cause that’s not truely living for God. Isn’t the word God? So if choose to adhere to half of the word than we don’t love God to the full extent. Proof: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Romans 1:26-27 NIV It is clear that women and men were made for each other. Why can’t men conceive kids? Why men solely have a anal area and its clear what the purpose of that area is. Don’t be deceived, read your bible and stick with it. Its not about whats politically correct its whats righteous.

Don’t be deceived, read your bible and stick with it. Its not about whats politically correct its whats righteous. I understand being a christian for you is hard but I pray God gives you the courage to truely preach the real gospel , and not ur version of it, even though you might persecuted but Jesus said that this will happened God bless.
This was done with such grace with compassion. We always got to remember that the result of true conversion is God's business but we just got to be faithful presenting the truth. Thank God the seed was planted, God gives the increase.
The "truth" as you see it!! As for "grace"- there's nothing remotely gracious about the vengeful, bloodthirsty god of the Old Testament. It's all so absurd.🙄
This is fantastic. He loved them and it comes through. He looked past their homosexuality and witnessed to them for who they really are. I pray these lads find Jesus.
Synonym Rolls looking past their situation as in broken leg, poor, allergic to cats, etc. he looked to their souls. All the categories are a snapshot today. Plasticity of our brains has been proved over and over. Is the 7th grade me the total person? Can we change? Does having children change me? Get it?

"Gays can change through Christ" proclaimed ex-gay ministries for 40 years, but in 2013 so many ex-gay leaders admitted no Christian experienced a change of orientation that every major decades-old ex-gay ministry closed down.
How can people "find" Jesus?!!!😀 This is typically trendy Christianeze. It's totally meaningless to most people. I remember I used to speak like this when I was a believer: "I told (so and so) about Jesus." As if Jesus Christ was some person few people had ever heard of or read about!! It all makes me cringe with embarrassment now.😫
I love how he: -laced the message with humor as to make the questions he asked easier to answer. It was clear he wasn't judging them by how he shaped the message. -Never even mentioned Homosexuality as a sin, but instead talked about all sin (Things we are all guilty of) to make his point! God Bless this man and God bless "Living Waters"
I could just see him dancing around the truth in his head and heart. I know he felt the spirit of Jesus Christ. Lord I ask you to let your spirit fill these two young men and lead them to your light Lord. In Jesus name amen
@@darnellpistachio2991 no just homophobia. Ive seen it and it is a real word....assume u disagree even though its out there. SCRIPTUAL EVIDENCE FOR WHAT? THAT HATE IS A SIN? do u need the bible to even tell u hate is a sin?
interviewer is extremely gifted , patient and skillful, cautiously slowly asking questions of these men. impressive! i could never be that patient. these men must have been out on a walk with nothing to do thus they had plenty of time to be interviewed. the seed was planted and who knows? maybe one ofthem will come to faith down the line. great interview!!
FeelTheLack it's not, it's called being nonjudgemental as God would want us to be. Sin is sin. If men don't turn from their ways, accept Jesus as Lord and Savoir, they perish eternally. Hell was a place made for the devil; bc he knows his time is short, he's trying to take you with him. Put your faith to the test. God bless you.
Can any believer who reads this please pray for my friend? She is a bisexual atheist, and I want her to be able to accept Jesus into her life. Please, pray that she will open her heart to Him.
Why we feel that anger,aggression and such emotions have nothing to do with love.because he didn't bring up their sins,Jesus with the woman at the well hit the nail on the head,about her lifestyle, telling the truth always hurt,but we should always present a solution who is Jesus Christ
Wow that was the most amazing example of how to respect , value and honor people and share God’s heart , The Holy Spirit now has fertile ground to sow the seed of faith into their hearts and minds . How powerful ! Thank you for this example of leading people in the path of agreement and leaving them with a feeling of being loved and valued.
Loved it but woo that would've be tough for me! Thank God for those who are called to do outreach ministry, I'm struggling to get inward ministry together (having church at home).. With all the craziness happening all over the place, God knows they're workers out here still harvesting for Him. Keep up the good work! These videos help restore hope in me and inspire me to keep praying for my own family. Thanks again
I love this so much! Such a humble, loving, friendly approach! Way to get them to open up! Nice boys but acknowledging sin means a behavior change - and he wasn’t ready to give up his lifestyle just yet. U definitely gave them both something to think about! Well done! 🙏🏼
If you think sexual orientation is a choice, try changing yours. There are over 6 million Christians alive today who are LGBT. Coming to Christ never changed anyone's sexual orientation. The ex-gay leaders around the world admitted it in 2013. Ex-gay claims never last. There is no method, religious or secular, which changes a person's sexual orientation.
Alvinladen x gay is ALWAYS POSSIBLE !! FOR ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD !!! JUST LIKE A HETROLSEXUAL CAN BE TURNED TO A HOMOSEXUAL WHEN EMURSED IN THE ACT ITSELF !! THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN THRUOUT HISTORY !! GAYS JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH !!! NO BODY WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THE THING THEY FIND FUN AND TITILATING TO THIER FLESH IS WRONG ,AND THEY HAVE TO STOP !!! THE FLESH IS SO WEAK !! HAHAHAHA !!! THATS WHY SOMETHING AS ( REALLY EASY TO STOP) LIKE SMOKING , EVEN THOUH THEY KNOW IT HAS VERY BAD RESULTS FOR HEALTH ... PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO QUIT !!! THEY JUST GO ON DOING IT !!! LOOK AT ADDICTS OF TERRIBLE THINGS , THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THROUH A SHORT PERIOD OF PAIN , STRUGGLE TO GET THIER LIVES BACK AND THIER FAMILIES , EVEN THIER KIVES !!! IT IS CRAZY , BUT THERE REALLY IS NO SUCH THING AS ONCE GAY , ALWAYS GAY !!! ITS JUST NOT TRUE .

Wrong. And stop blaming your ignorance on your imaginary god, who just happens to hate the same people you hate. Gays and lesbians tried it your way for 40 years, but not one single Christian experienced a change of sexual orientation. And you show you do not even understand what sexual orientation is; it does not change when a person has sex. So ignorant.
That was probably the most beautiful, amazing preaching of the gospel I have heard. I listen to Ray Comfort and I havd learnt so much from him, but this guy... WOW. This just blew my mind. It will be very helpful in learning how to share the gospel... thank you so much!
What a lovely approach.I have been binge watching this evangelism videos because I have been praying for boldness to go out there and share the gospel more.This is how we ought to do it,with love and compassion that flows naturally from our being with Christ.I love how charming,open minded and respectful the two young men were.Oh a seed has been planted alright.Praying for this two gentlemen and for the loving man who shared the gospel with them.More blessings to you. I am subscribing right away.
I have been asking the Lord to show me what was meant when He said..."learn from me for I am lowly and gentle in Spirit" I praise Him for the display of this man's heart towards these two young men. Everything about you sir embodies the Jesus I know, speaking truth in love, Joy, kindness and non condemning, leaving the hearer to choose and allowing the Spirit of the heavenly Father to draw to soul back home!! I am so greatful for having found your videos, your ministry name is correct "Living Water"...as a believer it left me with HOPE and joy. I PRAY that the Lord would multiply the fresh seeds you are sowing will be watered by another loving Sheppard like you and that many would turn to Jesus and come home 🇨🇦🌹🍇🍈🍉🍎🍓🍒🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞
Okay, I really really love the way this guy starts out with the questions by saying he failed the test, and he's not judging them! This is the only thing I kind of take issue with when it comes to Ray Comfort. I think he needs to say that, because sometimes it comes across as if he's being really judgemental and condemning. Of course if they ask Ray "well have you done that?" He would say of course! I'm just as bad. But I think it would be great if he just started out by making that clear as day. I really liked that a lot.
Changing ones mind is central to saving of the soul. "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;" 2 Corinthians 5:11. Persuade, in the since of changing their minds. Paul tried to persuade the King; "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost you persuaded me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28.
Tom Howard I would say that's out of context. Yes, believers knowing the wrath of God. Read all through brother and Agrippa was dead on. The pulse of depravity... Almost you persuaded me.
Thank you so much for demonstrating how to listen a *lot* before getting to say what you want to. They were delightful fellas, and your time with them was so meaningful and respectful [and fun] that I teared up. Really great.
Selahsmum he was manipulative and twisted their words. He made them agree to the idea of something and judged them on a what he claimed to be a hypothetical situation. He also accused him of believing that nothing happens when die when that poor man clearly said in the beginning that he indeed does believe there is an after life. I mean he MUST be an atheist if he doesn’t believe in what Christians believe in, right? Wrong.
So they are intelligent, good natured people. What does that have to do with what they DO ? Nothing. Why do you bring their personalities / characters into it ? This is what the LGBT propagandists like to do - so that any criticism of their sin is equivalent to condemning them as persons. This is a deceptive lie. "Let them find happiness no matter WHICH PATH THEY CHOOSE" ???? They are UNREPENTANT, repeat UNREPENTANT homosexual sinners. How can they find happiness when their rejection of God's work on the cross will ensure them of the exact OPPOSITE !??
Seed planted, now it is for The Holy Spirit to convict, we can only present the gospel. You can never tell who God will grant repentance to. I wish you would have been more clear about why we can't pay for our sins and why Christ can. The process of the exchange: Christ's perfect life for our sinful one. That God demand perfection, so only those in Christ are acceptable. You could spend more time on this because they already admitted they were sinners bound for hell. The one guy on the left was very honest even if not willing to surrender. He had obviously heard a lot of this before and rejected it: "I don't believe in Heaven or Hell." The Apostle Paul rejected the gospel also, till his road to Damascus conversion. So God willing this could bear fruit.
pastor?brian, did you even watch the video? You seem to be the one with hate in your heart, towards Christ's gospel. Jesus sets us free from sin with a desire to keep His commandments. Do you love Jesus? Jesus defined marriage as being between a man and woman from the beginning, so your love vs lust argument fails. Show me in scripture where God defines this love/sex relationship (marriage) between something other than male & female with His approval. If it were there, I'm sure it would have been found it in the last 2000+ years. Jesus delivers His people from such sins, to say it is not sin is to deceive yourself and those you counsel.
assume u never read a bible now. U say Jesus defined marriage as being between a man and woman from the beginning, well Jesus was God. God defined marriage as 1 man and many wives. SO ur wrong there already! Have u thought of getting an education...? Or reading the whole BIble and not the bits u like???? Just a thought?
pastor?brian, please point to the scripture where the bible teaches your claim of "1 man and many wives". So Adam had many wives? Have you read the whole bible and come to the conclusion that God approves of homosexual marriage or any kind of homosexuality? And you would consider yourself educated? You're not bias? // "well Jesus was God" Do you; a highly educated person, see anything wrong with this, your statement? Because I sure do. Thank you
Polygyny is explicitly not forbidden in the Old Testament. The Torah includes a few specific regulations on the practice of polygyny,[3]:79 such as Exodus 21:10 "If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights". Deut 21:15-17 states that a man must award the inheritance due to a first-born son to the son who was actually born first, even if he hates that son's mother and likes another wife more; and Deut 17:17 states that the king shall not have many wives.[4] The king's behavior is condemned by the prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel 1:8. Over 40 important figures had more than one wife, such as Esau[Genesis 26:34][28:6-9], Elkanah[1 Samuel 1:1-8], and Solomon[1 Kings 11:1-3]. Moses had three wives; Zipporah[Exodus 2: 21], the daughter of Hobab[Numbers 10: 291] and the "Cushite" woman,[Numbers 12: 1] [a] Multiple marriage was considered a realistic alternative in the case of famine, widowhood, or female infertility.[5] The practice of levirate marriage obligated a man whose brother has left a widow without heir to marry her.[Deut 25:5-10] Polyandry was explicitly forbidden. If a man slept with a woman married to another man, both were to be put to death for adultery.[Deuteronomy 22:22] Under this law, if two men were married to one woman, all three would be subject to the death penalty. It is for this reason that all examples of polygamy in scripture involve polygyny, not polyandry, and in most Christian discussion the words "polygamy" and "polygyny" can be considered synonymous. No Adam only had eve....because thats all there was then...soon s there was more they had more wives. SO now u know u were wrong on marriage.....what else u wrong on eh? NOt very educated were u.
Such a powerful anointing I feel from this street preacher's talk with these guys. So much love, acceptance and power. Whew. He changed those guys' lives; they will never be the same. Glory to God!
I like how he approached them, and how they listening to him... That is how it should be. Whatever the outcome after that conversation it's up to them.🙏
The guy said: "I will pay when I'm ready." He's not saying there is no God. He's saying No! God! very well done. this is how we should speak the truth. In love.
No one can force you to accept Christ. that's not how it works. He made man in His image. He's always loved us. We chose sin which caused death. As odd as it may sound this was a blessing because it's the only way we can truly know Him. You can't know joy without pain and suffering. Jesus willingly suffered for us out of love for you and me. I don't know what happened to you in your life but I feel something really bad that has made you very angry with God. I don't know what it is but I am sorry for whatever pain you are or have gone through.
C. Michael depends on your definition of "forced" if you accept Jesus you have eternal bliss....if not you are tortured for the rest of time.........yeah, doesn't sound like force to me 😂😂
Not in a mean way, but that's why I don't believe how the bible is, because there is so many contradictions, but I do believe afterlife, from paranormal activity, I think people are born gay from unbalanced of testosterone in the womb, I don't know exactly, but I heard from scientists, I heard and saw and learned that being born transgender is in the brain that is the opposite gender from their body, cat scans shows it, they did cat scans on transgender and non transgender and it shows that trans-men, their brain is the same as a biological men and trans-women, their brain is the same as a biological women. You can't change your chromosomes but your brain don't match your chromosomes is transgender. They did cat scans on xx born female and their brain is xy they are called trans-men, match biological man,their brains are the same and that's why they have dysphoria, same for xy body male with xx brain is called trans-women, their brain matches biological women and you born man with man brian and get a vaginal then you still a man because your brain is not female and if your a woman and have woman brain then get a penis your still a woman because you don't have a man brain. It's real transgender from cat scans, because of science evidence. So transgender man is xx body= female body with xy male brain and xy body= male body with xx brain is transgender woman. And people born cis male is xy body with xy brain and cis woman is born xx body with xx brain. And cis men and cis women are not transgender. Gender is in the brain. So it's to be born male brain with male body and female brain in female body you get no dysphoria because your brain matches your body. That's why transgender have dysphoria because their brain is female brain in male body that's trans-woman they identify as a woman how they really feel and male brain in female body is called trans-male they identify as a man how they really feel. And transgender that is how you are born even before hormones and surgery, their brain still is xx body with xy brain that is trans-male/trans-man and xy body with xx brain is trans-female/trans-woman, the cat scans showed this before hormones and surgery. That is why most trans-men and trans-women get surgery to match their brain, even though they know that can not ever change their chromosomes, but a least make their body more appearance to their brain as possible, that decrease dysphoria of their body.
I like these guys, so refreshing to see such honesty and humility...may Abba Father snatch them up for Himself. Bless them, and bless this Pastor for his love, kindness and compassion. 😌🌹🙏🏽
If you are an ex-atheist like me, you understand that visible back and forth struggle that Nino is having. You know that war of flesh and spirit, the want to cling on to the life you know and uneasy feeling of giving it to someone else. You fail to see the beauty in ultimate trust, a relationship with the God that died for you. You tell yourself the bible was a manmade lie to control and manipulate people, that God is not personal, yet the more you seek the more is revealed. God's intention and pursuit of you become clear and the love of Jesus is finally understood. God bless these men, give them eyes to see and ears to hear.
This guy knows how to witness! So smooth and gentle and accommodating. He took the time to listen to the two guys and measure what they are thinking/saying. Most people who witness rush through their witness and basically bulldoze over the people they are witnessing. This guy delivered a perfect witness.
it is so hard to try and understand why so many deny jesus, but if it is there way then ok. "jesus i have sinned please forgive me, and i give my life to you, and i ask you to be my savior, and i do believe that you are the only way to heaven and that you are the only begotten son" so many come right out and deny jesus, very sad. just hope that one day before it is to late they open there heart and feel the beauty. it is all up to you.
I think I asked God this question, why don't ppl actually turn to Jesus, Many are called but few are chosen. A lot of people want to to but they don't desire to truly change, some don't want God outright and never change, the truth is not every one will enter heaven or enjoy relationship with God.
@@FeelTheLack I can understand where this apprehension comes from... There's a misunderstanding, though. God doesn't torture people. If we place distance between ourselves and God (through unrepentant mistakes, a.k.a. sins) we wind up in Satan's "territory." God has already overcome Satan, but being perfectly good, God doesn't force Himself into our hearts/minds. (Satan, on the other hand, will seize any slimy opportunity for unfair influence, control, deception, etc. that he can get.) The following scriptures come to mind as an answer to your comment. You can Google them to read them word for word, in context, to find more in-depth answers to your questions: -The Lord wants that none should perish, but that all should come to eternal life. -I have not come to condemn the world, but to save it. -So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. -No greater love exists than to lay down one's life for one's friends. -My words are a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. -Satan seeks only to kill, steal, and destroy. -We battle not against flesh and blood, but against unclean spirits, principalities, and powers of darkness in the heavenly places (meaning the airways). -Resist the devil, and he will flee. You are (of course) completely entitled to your ideas. But I hope you'll read and consider what Jesus said and taught in the gospels before assuming terrible things about God's nature. It could turn out it's not exactly as you've heard it. It could also turn out that that's no accident. :/ I hope it's clear that I say all this to you as a friend. :)
@@FeelTheLack One of the reasons why I am an Asatruar. Christianity is not about justice, logic, compassion, honour, virtue..........ethics. No god needs to use 'Mafia tactics' to gain followers. That is a human failing.
The man who evangelized them was so kind and loving, God has surely worked trough him, God bless them both and the preacher too, and may He continue using them to save more souls.
Hi, we value every comment posted as it provides excellent feedback, but we would ask that you keep it polite and refrain from vulgarity. Thanks!
James King, Luke 9: 54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, *Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.* And they went to another village.
1Cor 6: 11 *And such were some of you:* but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1John 3: 14-17 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Living Waters Europe this was awesome 😎
Blessings to you and this ministry. So skillful God is using you mightily.
Living Waters Europe - Brilliant! Thank you so much!
God bless you!
These guys will never ever be the same...
all Christians should witness like this, with love and concern.
BUT NOT homophobic christians...as theres no such thing!
There's many ways. But all through love. Not all people are ad humble and respectful as these men. We minister according to the response of the crowd or person. "Save some with Fear, pulling them out of the fire" Jude 1:23. Some need hard rebuke through love and some with meekmess and gentleness. We're led by the spirit. Not all have to minister this way. Open air preaching is different from one-on-one ministering like this. Remember, Jesus said "the whole world hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil".
@@pastorbri Being Afraid of homosexuals is not even realistic. It's a stretch. So I'm kind of lost on the whole made-up term "homophobic".
a phobia is NOT a fear, its amazing how many uneducated folk don't know this. A phobia is an irrational hate, dislike or fear......
but to minister with a lie is not love!
I like that the preacher never once condemned the men for being homosexual, but he took them through the 10 commandments and the gospel. I bet that the young man was completely surprised that this guy was so loving. May the Lord turn their hearts to Himself. He is able!
Well there should be no reason for him to condemn them for being gay - God made them that way, and it's not a sin to be gay.
I disagree. God doesn't make people "gay." People are born with propensities toward certain behaviors. That doesn't make them right. I am a married man, and yet I (the sin nature in me that I am still fighting) want to look at other women lustfully. Is God responsible for that? No. God gave me sexual desires which are good when consummated in marriage. He gives me the choice, along with his power supplied by grace to say "no" to those evil desires of coveting another woman.
In the same, way, some people are born with a propensity to be attracted to the same sex. Through my experience talking with homosexual men about this (my friend both is gay and I've chatted with him about this) there has been either abuse or a strained/missing father relationship at the root of it. You mix that with a biological tendency and it often results in homosexual desires. My neighbor and many of his friends are gay and we got along great and chatted about this kind of stuff often. When he died a few weeks ago, I visited him at the hospital to share Christ with him one last time. I loved that man. He was a great neighbor to me too.
What is the solution?
Try to turn gays into straights?
No!
It's to turn them to Jesus Christ. Over time, if they put his Lordship above their perceived sexual identity, they will either change orientation or decide, like some already have, to simply become celibate and control their desires.
Is it easy? Of course not. Jesus never claimed that living for Him would be easy. But it is joyful.
It is not a sin to be "gay." It is a sin to practice the behavior. The Bible says: "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men" I Corinthians 6:9
Listen, we all need the Savior. Homosexuality is not the worst sin. Pride is. Pride is at the root of it all. Wanting other things more than God and pretending that he doesn't exist has created all the evils in the world, and, yes, including homosexuality. (Romans 1 explains this in detail. )
The solution is this. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." God is loving, and loves the sinner in their sin, even as His wrath abides on them. If they will repent (acknowledge that their sin is indeed sinful, with a desire to turn away from it) and put faith in Jesus Christ, they will be born again (John 3:3-21) and changed into a new person! ( 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Fine Art by Matt Philleo, Excellent post. I have ministered to ex-gay people for many years. This is so true. We are all born sinners with the propensity to sin. I left homosexuality 16 years ago through Christ. Not because I went straight, but because I wanted to be holy because He is holy. I wanted Jesus more than my sinful practices.
It is important to note that temptation is not your identity, and you do not have to act on them either. 1 Cor 6:11.
Fine Art by Matt Philleo, you may disagree, but let’s see what the Bible has to say about it rather than our opinions. You start off with the assumption that all same-sex relationships are sin. I used to think the same thing until I did a LOT of research. I would encourage you to go to the original languages (Greek and Hebrew) and see what God really intended by these so called “gay passages”. ALL of the same-sex activity in the Bible is attributable to abusive practices (gang rape, pederasty, temple prostitution, etc.), and all of these are wrong whether in a gay or straight context.
I am part of a group of straight pastors, seminary professors, and church leaders who have been asking a very important question about all of this: “Why do LGBT youth from Christian homes have a suicide rate that is NINE TIMES higher than that of LGBT people in general??” (and just so you know, LGBT youth from non-Christian homes already have alarmingly high suicide rates!) So we started asking ourselves if we have been giving the wrong advice these past few decades? Could we be misunderstanding these passages about same-sex activity?
When studying the Bible, we need to take into account the original author and audience, as well as the cultural context of the day. After all, we are separated by language, culture, and 2000+ years. Thus a deep dive into the Hebrew and Greek texts is essential. It is also important to understand history (looking at the past 3000 years), as well as psychology, politics, and science. Yes, even science! After all, it took science to teach us that the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around - which appeared to be contradictory to Scripture, thus causing some to be imprisoned by the Church.
In short, from my intense study on the subject, I am convinced that ALL of the same-sex passages in the Bible pertain to abusive sexual practices: gang rape, idolatry, pederasty (a type of pedophilia), etc. Please note that all of these would be equally as sinful if they were heterosexual in nature. We don’t see the “attack on gays” until the 3rd or 4th century (long after the Biblical passages were written). Thus the perspective people had about gays in the 1st century is paramount to properly understanding Romans 1, I Cor 6:9, and I Tim 1:10.
From what I have studied, there was a LOT more homosexual activity going on in the first century than even today! Even then, such homosexual activity in and of itself was not considered bad by any of the biblical writers. Yet the abusive forms of such were bad - and thus Paul wrote what he wrote.
I didn't just read some books to come to this conclusion, I traveled thousands of miles and researched in old archives, learned Greek and Hebrew at a master's degree level, and spent YEARS studying in order to really seek to understand what God intended from these "gay passages". I am serious about this because I learned that we have seen the largest amount of teen and young adult suicide in the past few decades - and guess what corresponds to that - the word "homosexual" wasn't even in the Bible until 1946, just a few decades ago. Keep in mind that before the King James Bible (1611), the German Bible was translated and it says in Lev 18:22 and 20:13 "man shall not lie with little boys as he does with a woman..." THUS pederasty (NOT homosexuality) was considered the sin in these verses as well as I Cor 6:9 and I Tim1:10.
I must say I am glad that you are reaching out to gay neighbors and friends, and not seeing them as a disease. Yet I think there is much you can learn by digging deeper to understand the bigger picture of human sexuality - much of which we were clueless about just 10-15 years ago. God created sexual orientation, and we are just beginning to learn about it. It reminds me of how God created the earth and the sun and the moon and the planets - and just a few hundred years ago the Church imprisoned people for daring to “go against Scripture passages” that they believed taught that the earth is in the center of the universe. We have misunderstood the Bible in the past - are we misunderstanding it yet again?
It's up to our generation to fix this! May God bless you!
Jerry Young, I am not sure where you are getting your information from, but you may want to question the accuracy of your sources. I am well-connected with many highly educated and well-researched people in this conversation and have NEVER heard anyone say anything about “abandoning the idea that anyone is being born gay”. Also just so you know, there is not a single documented case of someone changing from gay to straight.
You said, “Scripture clearly condemns anything outside of a heterosexual monogamous marital sexual union.”, but this is simply not true. I would like to point out King Solomon who had hundreds of wives and was blessed by God. I could go on and on with refuting your claim with MANY things, but will refrain for now.
Scripture NEVER teaches that homosexuality is wrong. NEVER. From your comment I gather that you have never studied Greek or Hebrew at an academic level. Am I correct?
As far as your remark that “the increased rates within the homosexual community of domestic violence, drug abuse, suicide, disease and more would point to it as a very unhealthy and unnatural behavior.” WOW. Where did you get this information? If you are referring to a study in the 1990’s that some pastors use to show a highly dysfunctional group of people regarding these vices, that study has since been discarded by both sides of the conversation as inaccurate and misleading. So once again, you may want to check your sources!
I truly hope you will dig deeper.
God bless you.
Brings tears to my eyes to see the true gospel presented with such love and compassion. A true example of Jesus. This is love in action at it's finest!
i wonder why its known as gospel maybe because it was just gosssip since nothing was written at the time it took place.

This man witnessing to them is exactly how I would imagine Jesus himself reaching out to others - how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel to the dying
I’m not sure that Jesus would have ever said “believe in me or I’ll send you to prison. Forever.”
He seemed more of an actions-speak-louder-than-words kind of guy to me.
A Earhart i know right. He’s so loving it oozes.
Not in a mean way, but that's why I don't believe how the bible is, because there is so many contradictions, but I do believe afterlife, from paranormal activity, I think people are born gay from unbalanced of testosterone in the womb, I don't know exactly, but I heard from scientists, I heard and saw and learned that being born transgender is in the brain that is the opposite gender from their body, cat scans shows it, they did cat scans on transgender and non transgender and it shows that trans-men, their brain is the same as a biological men and trans-women, their brain is the same as a biological women. You can't change your chromosomes but your brain don't match your chromosomes is transgender. They did cat scans on xx born female and their brain is xy they are called trans-men, match biological man,their brains are the same and that's why they have dysphoria, same for xy body male with xx brain is called trans-women, their brain matches biological women and you born man with man brian and get a vaginal then you still a man because your brain is not female and if your a woman and have woman brain then get a penis your still a woman because you don't have a man brain. It's real transgender from cat scans, because of science evidence. So transgender man is xx body= female body with xy male brain and xy body= male body with xx brain is transgender woman. And people born cis male is xy body with xy brain and cis woman is born xx body with xx brain. And cis men and cis women are not transgender. Gender is in the brain. So it's to be born male brain with male body and female brain in female body you get no dysphoria because your brain matches your body. That's why transgender have dysphoria because their brain is female brain in male body that's trans-woman they identify as a woman how they really feel and male brain in female body is called trans-male they identify as a man how they really feel. And transgender that is how you are born even before hormones and surgery, their brain still is xx body with xy brain that is trans-male/trans-man and xy body with xx brain is trans-female/trans-woman, the cat scans showed this before hormones and surgery. That is why most trans-men and trans-women get surgery to match their brain, even though they know that can not ever change their chromosomes, but a least make their body more appearance to their brain as possible, that decrease dysphoria of their body.
Jesus had no issue with gay folk though.
A Earhart idk Jesus was very fierce, I imagine he’d be scolding people 😂
He made a whip and chased out those people at the temple so, it’s possible
The truth IS NOT hate, but at the same time the truth doesn't care if it offends anybody.
fallen_star09 I love this
Bc the truth convicts us and we don't like that. But it saves us. Better to be discomforted with a truth than to be comforted with a lie. God bless.
That’s not really true, jesus’ love is so kind and doesn’t want to harden your heart, you know?
That was put perfectly
BUT truth has undeniable evidence.
This guy is a great preacher of the gospel, he seems to engage each person in a very respectful and loving way.
I agree totally. I loved how he was so gentle with them. He put them at complete ease.
The Lord has gave you a beautiful gift. Speaking with love. You are not feeding with religion, but with the Love of the Lord! May the Lord always bless your ministry!
Anthony Lucky I pray for these young men. I believe the sincerity of the preacher touched them in a way few messages do.
The video is a great model for Christian outreach.
This way of evangelizing comes from Ray Comfort. I think his ministry is called "Living Waters." You're right, it is a loving way to reach people. "The law of the Lord is perfect for converting the soul." Before we can give people God's wonderful gift of Jesus they must see themselves through the 10 commandments (Law) - guilty! Then they are more willing to receive God's gift of love. The pearl of great price!
Agree, he is really gifted in this. I think I would have messed up big time.
I pray they see through the homophobia
homophobia is hating people that are gay. I don't hate the sinners I hate the sin because that is what pulls you away from God.
Masterfully done. "Beautiful are the feet of the messenger who brings the good news of peace and salvation".
A. Walsh Amen to that brother
@Fate Haggots that's not true, the Holy Bible says Romans 10:13 for( whosoever) shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Fate Haggots Shame on you Salvation is a gift from the father and anyone is invited to that gift. Anyone who wants to leave the old behind and be renewed and restored in him is able to if they are willing to surrender. You don’t know if they will leave their way of living to pursue a living with God. You don’t know if they want to receive God and be transformed. You don’t know what God can do and what a willing heart they may have. It all comes to relationship with Christ this isn’t a religious thing it s a relationship with the father. They may change their thinking and way of living you don’t know what is in store for them. Shame on you because if you are believer you should be praying for them not condemning them who are you to do that. Two most important commandments love God above all things and love your neighbor as your self. You shouldn’t be spreading words of hate you should know better. I personally believe you are not even a believer but a person trying to make Christians look bad.
@Fate Haggots, good point ,what do you do with the, Holy Bible, for the word of God is quick, and Powerful, and sharper then any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 Holy Bible know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but you are sanctified, but ye are Justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 9: 11
@Fate Haggots Holy Bible- For God so loved the WORLD, that he gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Gay men in particular seem to be much more open to hearing the Good News than I had expected. Such gracious evangelism.

this is amazing so much better than those preachers on the street that scare people into believing in god.
i think there is a time and place for both types of preaching. But it takes a spiritually sensitive person who is ''hearing'' how to approach individuals with the right word or gesture at the right time and place to be effective. If one is walking by faith and in the spirit and not being ''religous''...so many can be so deeply touched rather than repulsed away from Jesus
This was so good. And you showed the love of Jesus Christ while ministering to them also! God bless you Brother.
I believe that such a true statement you made.
I was just going to comment that this is exactly the way to do it if it's going to be done. Winsome, caring, upbeat. The subject matter is heavy enough without the witness being heavy-handed or smarmy or negative or tough or angry or loud. Genuinely motivated by love rather than by winning a street debate or convincing of being right, it shows. Well done.
Plant those seeds, sir!!!! I love this! Nothing but truth discussed, and he left it alone so that the Holy Spirit can do His job!

Ethan Hocking what is the easy grace gospel? It's only by the grace of God that all of us won't be ending up in the lake of fire. So I don't understand what you mean.
Ethan Hocking oh well then that's madness. I would wonder if that person really believes. Cus there is no way you can be reading this book called the Bible and think you should just be doing as you feel. Struggling with sin is normal, that's what romans 7 is about but actually saying you don't care.... Hmm
Ethan Hocking well believing IS the only way you can get to heaven. Its nothing to do with what you do. That's your Christian walk after you are saved. Salvation is one time event. The moment you truly believe you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. But I understand what you are getting at. That's why Paul said...
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13 KJV
So you have freedom in Christ but don't use this freedom to do as you feel. Aim to walk in a way pleasing to God.
Why wouldn't him?
I'm a Christian and my heart goes out to these young men. I just want to show them love and have them know the perfect love of God. They are so sweet and innocent. They deserve to know God's love. This man is a wonderful minister. Great video.

@Austin3;16KOStunner WWEClassics --"being gay is a sin". Yeah according to the Bible. But why should anyone care what the Bible says? Why would anyone care what a bunch of ancient bigots thought about sexuality?
Wow!!! What an excellent interviewer! He was humble, not condesending and put them completely at ease to talk with him. His care and concern is so obvious.
That man has got seriously incredible social skills. For two people who would naturally be very defensive, he got them onside so quickly. A very good skill to have.

@@gribwitch It's okay if they're gay right?
@@flipwright1138 "...It's okay if they're gay right..." ?
Only non active ( non practicing ) gays are acceptable to God.
You may not have control over the way you ARE, but you certainly have control over what you DO.
@@gribwitch Can they act on their sexual desires if they ask God for forgiveness just before they die?
I'm assuming your questions are serious, and you're not just trolling.
Forgiveness is always available to those who GENUINELY seek it. However God has set the standard and parameters for what is considered righteous conduct. We would be mocking Him, His sacrifice on the cross for OUR sins, and His consequent grace ( unmerited forgiveness ) if we were to continue in sin until just before we die. How do you think He would feel about that ? How would YOU feel if you were He ?
And consider this too ; most of us don't know WHEN we will die. Is it not wiser to behave according to our Maker's will and be assured of salvation, than to flaunt our sins in His face and suddenly have to confront Him in our unsaved state, without excuse ? The time to reform our lives is now. When we're dead it may be too late.
( unknown quote ) "I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than stand with the world and be judged by God".
@@gribwitch It appears according to you the gay community (or any supposed sinner) will be fine as long as they repent before death. If that is true doesn't it seem that someone can go through life sinning (in your eyes) yet be redeemed just before death. Yet someone who lived a good yet non Religious ( pick one of a thousand Religions) life, is destined to a lifetime of torture. Poppycock. Bollocks.
I love the way it was presented, and I hope to see those guys in heaven someday. God can make it happen
kaship98 Nope. We believe it because the Spirit of God is indwelled in us. And also because the Bible is backed by history and archeology. Santa Claus is not backed by either of these but Jesus Christ is and a large majority of the entire Bible. Check into it.
VideoAudioDisco09 there is more information pertaining the the life of Christ than there is about any other person in history. You can trace his lineage back to the foundations of earth - from ancestor to ancestor spanning thousands of years. Research more, learn more.
VideoAudioDisco09 Without the knowledge of God you are living in a lie and far from the truth. Also, you must be a former Roman Catholic. The Gospels date back to around 23 to 40 BC and are first hand accounts written by those whom were closest to Jesus - his disciples, his brothers and even he is even mentioned in The Antiquities of the Jews written by a Jewish Historian by the name of Flavius Josephus early within the First Century AD. And actually, if you talk about spreading the actual Gospel of Christ, credit that to the Apostle Paul. He spread the Gospel further than even Billy Graham. God’s will and Paul’s obedience to it are the reason why Christianity thrives. God’s Word does not return to Him void. It always accomplishes the thing for which it was sent. As for texts, there are more authentic transcripts of the New Testament written within First Century A.D., than there are of any other historical document in existence and they all say the same thing. And as far as Constantine goes, he was nothing more than a puppet of Satan who intertwined occulted and pagan worship into true Christianity founding the largest cult on earth known as the Roman Catholic Church. Don’t know what or where you have been researching, but each and everyday evidence is presented in favor and building cases towards the historicity of the Bible. I pray that God opens your heart and spirit to truly know who He is.
VideoAudioDisco09 there are more sources about Jesus Christ than there are about Julius Caesar but no one disputes he ever existed. We simply do this to Jesus because we do not want to face the consequences of or sick, twisted and perverted nature because the existence of a “god” calls us into conviction and accountability. You must answer and be held responsible for your actions.
You claim to know so much but know so little. Your world view is limited and narrow. How are Hitler or Einstein the most well known figures of history and the existed only within the last 100+ years but Jesus Christ lived on earth more than 2000 years ago but everyone pretty much knows about Him whether they or not they accept the fact of who He is.
But I will not argue with you anymore, it’s your life. I’m shaking the dust off my feet and you do whatever it is you want.
VideoAudioDisco09 you’re lost and deluded. There is no point in arguing with you. Dust shaken off my feet.

Rusty Writer Thank you for your response. Please hear me out before quickly responding - They don't need to change their orientation. Perhaps it is a thorn in their flesh that they simply wont be able to act upon - the same exact way that many Christians struggle with the sin of pornography (which is also sexual immorality) and still desire/lust after it regardless of however many years of life and study and personal growth. Perhaps they will be one of the people that benefit from the teachings of the Apostle Paul when he was talking about remaining single. (They can devote more time, study, and life toward God than having to spread out their time during the pursuit of marriage) 1 Corinthians 7 isn’t prescribing singleness or marriage but rather telling Christians to make the choices that help each of us MOST glorify God. Each individual is made different by God, thus singleness may be better for some and marriage may be better for some. Glorifying God, serving God, and being in an intimate relationship with God is the main point. So it doesn't matter what your orientation is, you simply do whatever you can to best emulate Jesus for this short time on Earth.
@@klovur Here is a question: Why do so many Christians think sex is evil?
Moonchild17 hiya, I think it's because they are misinformed and haven't actually read the Bible or studied what they claim to believe in. The VAST majority of people who claim to be "Christians" really aren't Christians at all. These false Christians spread hate and judgment on others and misinterpret scripture out of context which brings a lot of confusion and ill-conceived perception from non-Christians. That's why Jesus said many will come before Him at the end and expect to be saved, but He will say "but you never actually had a relationship with me... You only claimed to be a Christian but never walked by the holy spirit".. God created every thing as good... humans in their fallen, sin-filled lives have twisted and corrupted what was intended to bring joy and worship. Sex in the form it was created for is a beautiful & intimate experience. :)
@@moonchild1758 Sex is not inherently evil. It is a gift bestowed by God. It is meant to be exclusively performed within a ( heterosexual ) MARITAL relationship. Strictly speaking, ALL sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful. Here's a site that you may find helpful. www.gotquestions.org/search.php?zoom_query=sex

I agree but what fascinated me is that the GOD of all creation takes so much interest in us (me). Most ppl know St John 3:16...but, I just love verse 17 that says that GOD sent JESUS not into the world to “condemn” the world but that the world “might” be SAVED ( rescued) through (by) HIM. Might be rescued because it is the choice each will have to make but JESUS is available to all. Whosoever will, LET HIM/HER COME. The Gospel is GOD’s pill for our sin sickness and JESUS is the great physician. May GOD help us all by HIS SPIRIT to go and share CHRIST with many before it is to late.....one day it will be too late. Aloha from Hawaii. Maranatha. (8/16/18).
How about that old testament (Leviticus 20:13)? Just as beautiful?

pastor brian I suggest you read your bible. I see by your name that you are a pastor and even every christian has to live up to what the bible says. We can’t pick and choose what we want to accept in the bible cause that’s not truely living for God. Isn’t the word God? So if choose to adhere to half of the word than we don’t love God to the full extent. Proof: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
Romans 1:26-27 NIV
It is clear that women and men were made for each other. Why can’t men conceive kids? Why men solely have a anal area and its clear what the purpose of that area is. Don’t be deceived, read your bible and stick with it. Its not about whats politically correct its whats righteous. I understand being a pastor is hard but I pray God gives you the courage to truely preach the gospel even though you might persecuted but Jesus said that this will happened God bless.

interviewer is extremely gifted , patient and skillful, cautiously slowly asking questions of these men. impressive! i could never be that patient. these men must have been out on a walk with nothing to do thus they had plenty of time to be interviewed. the seed was planted and who knows? maybe one ofthem will come to faith down the line. great interview!!
It's called manipulation.
FeelTheLack it's not, it's called being nonjudgemental as God would want us to be. Sin is sin. If men don't turn from their ways, accept Jesus as Lord and Savoir, they perish eternally. Hell was a place made for the devil; bc he knows his time is short, he's trying to take you with him. Put your faith to the test. God bless you.
_ Thea that’s your belief. Don’t state it like it’s some sort of fact.
FeelTheLack why do you think it's not a fact?
alright, you two that is enough. let it go!
Can any believer who reads this please pray for my friend? She is a bisexual atheist, and I want her to be able to accept Jesus into her life. Please, pray that she will open her heart to Him.
N o c t i s t a l g i a I prayed for your friend.
Prayed for her.
Prayers work
Amen 🙏
You'll prayer as been answered she is going to a heaven and still bi
I appreciate the respectful, kind and loving way you speak to people. Bless you !
even though its homophobic?
@@pastorbri talking to people is not homophobic
I love this! These guys are precious. The preacher is planting the seeds. God is Judge.
Allow us to have more preachers like this! Thank you for this!
u want more ministers to preach lie?
Why we feel that anger,aggression and such emotions have nothing to do with love.because he didn't bring up their sins,Jesus with the woman at the well hit the nail on the head,about her lifestyle, telling the truth always hurt,but we should always present a solution who is Jesus Christ
@@pure-earth_24 and Jesus can heal homophobia
Wow that was the most amazing example of how to respect , value and honor people and share God’s heart , The Holy Spirit now has fertile ground to sow the seed of faith into their hearts and minds . How powerful ! Thank you for this example of leading people in the path of agreement and leaving them with a feeling of being loved and valued.
I appreciate this guys approach way more than others. Genuinely conversational and compassionate. Watched multiple times.
That was incredible. The interviewer was so kind and caring, without watering down the gospel. We Christians can learn from such a loving attitude.
Loved it but woo that would've be tough for me! Thank God for those who are called to do outreach ministry, I'm struggling to get inward ministry together (having church at home).. With all the craziness happening all over the place, God knows they're workers out here still harvesting for Him. Keep up the good work! These videos help restore hope in me and inspire me to keep praying for my own family. Thanks again
Wow I can see the honesty, humility and somehow the fear and/or guilt in Ethan’s eyes!
May God help us all ❤️
The Man Truly Has Wisdom and shows the love of God
I love this so much! Such a humble, loving, friendly approach! Way to get them to open up! Nice boys but acknowledging sin means a behavior change - and he wasn’t ready to give up his lifestyle just yet. U definitely gave them both something to think about! Well done! 🙏🏼
I love the way he witness to them without judgement
AMEN!!
That is the beauty of the Gospel, telling the truth with love, without judging or condemning. Only God can do that.
Wow that was awesome! Weldone livingwaters! A star to your crown.
whats awesome about a lie from satan?
yes homophobia is all a lie and a deception
@@pastorbri fuckyou
Europe needs a loooooot of this!
If you think sexual orientation is a choice, try changing yours. There are over 6 million Christians alive today who are LGBT. Coming to Christ never changed anyone's sexual orientation. The ex-gay leaders around the world admitted it in 2013. Ex-gay claims never last. There is no method, religious or secular, which changes a person's sexual orientation.
Alvinladen x gay is ALWAYS POSSIBLE !! FOR ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD !!! JUST LIKE A HETROLSEXUAL CAN BE TURNED TO A HOMOSEXUAL WHEN EMURSED IN THE ACT ITSELF !! THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN THRUOUT HISTORY !! GAYS JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH !!! NO BODY WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THE THING THEY FIND FUN AND TITILATING TO THIER FLESH IS WRONG ,AND THEY HAVE TO STOP !!! THE FLESH IS SO WEAK !! HAHAHAHA !!! THATS WHY SOMETHING AS ( REALLY EASY TO STOP) LIKE SMOKING , EVEN THOUH THEY KNOW IT HAS VERY BAD RESULTS FOR HEALTH ... PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO QUIT !!!
THEY JUST GO ON DOING IT !!! LOOK AT ADDICTS OF TERRIBLE THINGS , THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THROUH A SHORT PERIOD OF PAIN , STRUGGLE TO GET THIER LIVES BACK AND THIER FAMILIES , EVEN THIER KIVES !!! IT IS CRAZY , BUT THERE REALLY IS NO SUCH THING AS ONCE GAY , ALWAYS GAY !!! ITS JUST NOT TRUE .
Wrong. And stop blaming your ignorance on your imaginary god, who just happens to hate the same people you hate. Gays and lesbians tried it your way for 40 years, but not one single Christian experienced a change of sexual orientation. And you show you do not even understand what sexual orientation is; it does not change when a person has sex. So ignorant.
Jerome Reiter, But won't God forgive people for being ignorant, or hateful, or a liar so long as they were born that way? If God forgives, won't you?
Jerome Reiter Here is something written about Jesus when he was alive. ua-cam.com/video/HUs8f-lphec/v-deo.html
I love the way you did this. You loved them so well and didn’t make them feel unheard or invalidated. Seriously amazing. They are so loved
That was probably the most beautiful, amazing preaching of the gospel I have heard. I listen to Ray Comfort and I havd learnt so much from him, but this guy... WOW. This just blew my mind. It will be very helpful in learning how to share the gospel... thank you so much!
This was incredible to watch, a true master at work here, I am truly inspired.
Well Done!!! Ethan was getting the HOLY SPIRIT in him by the end of the interview!!
I am sure he is glad that you judged him acceptable.
That judgemenalism is the most despicable aspect of abrahanic religions.
@@charliecampbell197 lol wut???
I really wish i could witness like that, that was amazing
What a lovely approach.I have been binge watching this evangelism videos because I have been praying for boldness to go out there and share the gospel more.This is how we ought to do it,with love and compassion that flows naturally from our being with Christ.I love how charming,open minded and respectful the two young men were.Oh a seed has been planted alright.Praying for this two gentlemen and for the loving man who shared the gospel with them.More blessings to you. I am subscribing right away.
I have been asking the Lord to show me what was meant when He said..."learn from me for I am lowly and gentle in Spirit" I praise Him for the display of this man's heart towards these two young men. Everything about you sir embodies the Jesus I know, speaking truth in love, Joy, kindness and non condemning, leaving the hearer to choose and allowing the Spirit of the heavenly Father to draw to soul back home!! I am so greatful for having found your videos, your ministry name is correct "Living Water"...as a believer it left me with HOPE and joy. I PRAY that the Lord would multiply the fresh seeds you are sowing will be watered by another loving Sheppard like you and that many would turn to Jesus and come home 🇨🇦🌹🍇🍈🍉🍎🍓🍒🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞
Okay, I really really love the way this guy starts out with the questions by saying he failed the test, and he's not judging them! This is the only thing I kind of take issue with when it comes to Ray Comfort. I think he needs to say that, because sometimes it comes across as if he's being really judgemental and condemning. Of course if they ask Ray "well have you done that?" He would say of course! I'm just as bad. But I think it would be great if he just started out by making that clear as day. I really liked that a lot.
I've heard Ray do that every time he gets to the commandments about adultery..he says we all have done that
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
(Proverbs 14:12)
Proverbs 16:25
I like the willingness to discuss the issue of heaven and hell and repentance with gentleness but clarity and a listening manner.
What a blessing this was to watch! The love of Jesus in this man witnessing to the world. God bless.
Wonderful. You truly are a gifted evangelist. God bless you!!
I love to preach like you Mister. So loving, gracious, respectful, smart, and open minded. 💖💖💖
He didn't want to change their mind but cared for the souls. Beautiful, praise God.
Changing ones mind is central to saving of the soul. "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;" 2 Corinthians 5:11. Persuade, in the since of changing their minds. Paul tried to persuade the King; "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost you persuaded me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28.
Tom Howard I would say that's out of context. Yes, believers knowing the wrath of God. Read all through brother and Agrippa was dead on. The pulse of depravity... Almost you persuaded me.
Jason Cauley it’s In the Bible and says it clearly yet it’s out of context. This world has truly fallen
The hypnotic music is Awwwwwfull
I like this interviewer, he's super chill. He moreso asks questions that provokes one's own thought rather than casting judgement etc.
This guy did a fantatic job delivering the message of truth.

Thank you so much for demonstrating how to listen a *lot* before getting to say what you want to. They were delightful fellas, and your time with them was so meaningful and respectful [and fun] that I teared up. Really great.
This is AWESOME way to reach out to others !!! God Bless this man !
This guy is so great, what a natural ability to talk and be respectful and listen. And navigate these conversations so well. God bless you guys!
Selahsmum he was manipulative and twisted their words. He made them agree to the idea of something and judged them on a what he claimed to be a hypothetical situation. He also accused him of believing that nothing happens when die when that poor man clearly said in the beginning that he indeed does believe there is an after life. I mean he MUST be an atheist if he doesn’t believe in what Christians believe in, right? Wrong.
😶 they're actually both intelligent, good natured people... very likeable... may they find happiness, no matter which path they choose...
So they are intelligent, good natured people. What does that have to do with what they DO ? Nothing.
Why do you bring their personalities / characters into it ? This is what the LGBT propagandists like to do - so that any criticism of their sin is equivalent to condemning them as persons. This is a deceptive lie.
"Let them find happiness no matter WHICH PATH THEY CHOOSE" ????
They are UNREPENTANT, repeat UNREPENTANT homosexual sinners. How can they find happiness when their rejection of God's work on the cross will ensure them of the exact OPPOSITE !??
let's just hope they both choose the path to heaven, which is ONLY through Jesus Christ
Seed planted, now it is for The Holy Spirit to convict, we can only present the gospel. You can never tell who God will grant repentance to. I wish you would have been more clear about why we can't pay for our sins and why Christ can. The process of the exchange: Christ's perfect life for our sinful one. That God demand perfection, so only those in Christ are acceptable. You could spend more time on this because they already admitted they were sinners bound for hell. The one guy on the left was very honest even if not willing to surrender. He had obviously heard a lot of this before and rejected it: "I don't believe in Heaven or Hell." The Apostle Paul rejected the gospel also, till his road to Damascus conversion. So God willing this could bear fruit.
seeds of hate planed u think is a good thing?
pastor?brian, did you even watch the video? You seem to be the one with hate in your heart, towards Christ's gospel. Jesus sets us free from sin with a desire to keep His commandments. Do you love Jesus? Jesus defined marriage as being between a man and woman from the beginning, so your love vs lust argument fails. Show me in scripture where God defines this love/sex relationship (marriage) between something other than male & female with His approval. If it were there, I'm sure it would have been found it in the last 2000+ years. Jesus delivers His people from such sins, to say it is not sin is to deceive yourself and those you counsel.
assume u never read a bible now. U say Jesus defined marriage as being between a man and woman from the beginning, well Jesus was God. God defined marriage as 1 man and many wives. SO ur wrong there already! Have u thought of getting an education...? Or reading the whole BIble and not the bits u like???? Just a thought?
pastor?brian, please point to the scripture where the bible teaches your claim of "1 man and many wives". So Adam had many wives? Have you read the whole bible and come to the conclusion that God approves of homosexual marriage or any kind of homosexuality? And you would consider yourself educated? You're not bias? // "well Jesus was God" Do you; a highly educated person, see anything wrong with this, your statement? Because I sure do. Thank you
Polygyny is explicitly not forbidden in the Old Testament. The Torah includes a few specific regulations on the practice of polygyny,[3]:79 such as Exodus 21:10 "If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights". Deut 21:15-17 states that a man must award the inheritance due to a first-born son to the son who was actually born first, even if he hates that son's mother and likes another wife more; and Deut 17:17 states that the king shall not have many wives.[4] The king's behavior is condemned by the prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel 1:8. Over 40 important figures had more than one wife, such as Esau[Genesis 26:34][28:6-9], Elkanah[1 Samuel 1:1-8], and Solomon[1 Kings 11:1-3]. Moses had three wives; Zipporah[Exodus 2: 21], the daughter of Hobab[Numbers 10: 291] and the "Cushite" woman,[Numbers 12: 1] [a]
Multiple marriage was considered a realistic alternative in the case of famine, widowhood, or female infertility.[5] The practice of levirate marriage obligated a man whose brother has left a widow without heir to marry her.[Deut 25:5-10]
Polyandry was explicitly forbidden. If a man slept with a woman married to another man, both were to be put to death for adultery.[Deuteronomy 22:22] Under this law, if two men were married to one woman, all three would be subject to the death penalty. It is for this reason that all examples of polygamy in scripture involve polygyny, not polyandry, and in most Christian discussion the words "polygamy" and "polygyny" can be considered synonymous.
No Adam only had eve....because thats all there was then...soon s there was more they had more wives. SO now u know u were wrong on marriage.....what else u wrong on eh? NOt very educated were u.
Such a powerful anointing I feel from this street preacher's talk with these guys. So much love, acceptance and power. Whew. He changed those guys' lives; they will never be the same. Glory to God!
I like how he approached them, and how they listening to him... That is how it should be. Whatever the outcome after that conversation it's up to them.🙏
This was perfect, I pray the seeds that were planted will grow !
That was beautifully explained. That example about paying the fine nearly had me in tears. God is so Good!!!!!!
The guy said: "I will pay when I'm ready." He's not saying there is no God. He's saying No! God! very well done. this is how we should speak the truth. In love.
Jason Russo kinda went through me when he said that.. Let’s pray for him 🙏👆
The witness was awesome though.
g513 you will be so sorry for saying that in the end, I pray the lord opens your eyes to the truth the way and the life, which is Jesus Christ
No one can force you to accept Christ. that's not how it works. He made man in His image. He's always loved us. We chose sin which caused death. As odd as it may sound this was a blessing because it's the only way we can truly know Him. You can't know joy without pain and suffering. Jesus willingly suffered for us out of love for you and me.
I don't know what happened to you in your life but I feel something really bad that has made you very angry with God. I don't know what it is but I am sorry for whatever pain you are or have gone through.
Jason Russo amen brother, amen
C. Michael depends on your definition of "forced" if you accept Jesus you have eternal bliss....if not you are tortured for the rest of time.........yeah, doesn't sound like force to me 😂😂
Well they know the truth, but unfortunately they are suppressing it. Lord have mercy on their souls.
How do you know that?
Naturally gifted: Belief does not equal truth.
Not in a mean way, but that's why I don't believe how the bible is, because there is so many contradictions, but I do believe afterlife, from paranormal activity, I think people are born gay from unbalanced of testosterone in the womb, I don't know exactly, but I heard from scientists, I heard and saw and learned that being born transgender is in the brain that is the opposite gender from their body, cat scans shows it, they did cat scans on transgender and non transgender and it shows that trans-men, their brain is the same as a biological men and trans-women, their brain is the same as a biological women. You can't change your chromosomes but your brain don't match your chromosomes is transgender. They did cat scans on xx born female and their brain is xy they are called trans-men, match biological man,their brains are the same and that's why they have dysphoria, same for xy body male with xx brain is called trans-women, their brain matches biological women and you born man with man brian and get a vaginal then you still a man because your brain is not female and if your a woman and have woman brain then get a penis your still a woman because you don't have a man brain. It's real transgender from cat scans, because of science evidence. So transgender man is xx body= female body with xy male brain and xy body= male body with xx brain is transgender woman. And people born cis male is xy body with xy brain and cis woman is born xx body with xx brain. And cis men and cis women are not transgender. Gender is in the brain. So it's to be born male brain with male body and female brain in female body you get no dysphoria because your brain matches your body. That's why transgender have dysphoria because their brain is female brain in male body that's trans-woman they identify as a woman how they really feel and male brain in female body is called trans-male they identify as a man how they really feel. And transgender that is how you are born even before hormones and surgery, their brain still is xx body with xy brain that is trans-male/trans-man and xy body with xx brain is trans-female/trans-woman, the cat scans showed this before hormones and surgery. That is why most trans-men and trans-women get surgery to match their brain, even though they know that can not ever change their chromosomes, but a least make their body more appearance to their brain as possible, that decrease dysphoria of their body.

God bless them. The one with the glassess is convicted.
What's he convicted of?
What got me is I thought in the beginning it would go the opposite way. I thought the guy on the left would be more open. How crazy.
If you are an ex-atheist like me, you understand that visible back and forth struggle that Nino is having. You know that war of flesh and spirit, the want to cling on to the life you know and uneasy feeling of giving it to someone else. You fail to see the beauty in ultimate trust, a relationship with the God that died for you. You tell yourself the bible was a manmade lie to control and manipulate people, that God is not personal, yet the more you seek the more is revealed. God's intention and pursuit of you become clear and the love of Jesus is finally understood. God bless these men, give them eyes to see and ears to hear.
This guy knows how to witness! So smooth and gentle and accommodating. He took the time to listen to the two guys and measure what they are thinking/saying. Most people who witness rush through their witness and basically bulldoze over the people they are witnessing. This guy delivered a perfect witness.
it is so hard to try and understand why so many deny jesus, but if it is there way then ok. "jesus i have sinned please forgive me, and i give my life to you, and i ask you to be my savior, and i do believe that you are the only way to heaven and that you are the only begotten son" so many come right out and deny jesus, very sad. just hope that one day before it is to late they open there heart and feel the beauty. it is all up to you.
I don't think a lot of people feel like worshiping a deity that will torture them for eternity if they don't.
I think I asked God this question, why don't ppl actually turn to Jesus, Many are called but few are chosen. A lot of people want to to but they don't desire to truly change, some don't want God outright and never change, the truth is not every one will enter heaven or enjoy relationship with God.
@@FeelTheLack I can understand where this apprehension comes from... There's a misunderstanding, though. God doesn't torture people. If we place distance between ourselves and God (through unrepentant mistakes, a.k.a. sins) we wind up in Satan's "territory." God has already overcome Satan, but being perfectly good, God doesn't force Himself into our hearts/minds. (Satan, on the other hand, will seize any slimy opportunity for unfair influence, control, deception, etc. that he can get.) The following scriptures come to mind as an answer to your comment. You can Google them to read them word for word, in context, to find more in-depth answers to your questions:
-The Lord wants that none should perish, but that all should come to eternal life.
-I have not come to condemn the world, but to save it.
-So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
-No greater love exists than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
-My words are a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.
-Satan seeks only to kill, steal, and destroy.
-We battle not against flesh and blood, but against unclean spirits, principalities, and powers of darkness in the heavenly places (meaning the airways).
-Resist the devil, and he will flee.
You are (of course) completely entitled to your ideas. But I hope you'll read and consider what Jesus said and taught in the gospels before assuming terrible things about God's nature. It could turn out it's not exactly as you've heard it. It could also turn out that that's no accident. :/ I hope it's clear that I say all this to you as a friend. :)
According to your beliefs, God created Satan, knowing exactly what he would do, so once again, he is responsible for our torment.

One of the reasons why I am an Asatruar.
Christianity is not about justice, logic, compassion, honour, virtue..........ethics.
No god needs to use 'Mafia tactics' to gain followers. That is a human failing.
