Hi! I'm a gay Christian. I found the more intimate I grew with the spirit of God, the less tolerable the religious institution became. I've now dedicated my voice to confronting toxic theology, liberating people from the oppressive ideology evangelicalism has become. Welcome. :)
Look, everyone is born in sin, which is why Jesus said you MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Satan is the master of disguises, he imitates God, that’s his job! You can not let yourself believe God spoke to you saying it’s alright to have sexual relationships with the same sex.. YOU KNOW the Bible condemns it! We all have to be born again which means Christ will help us grow in his word “ CHANGE” You my friend have been deceived by Satan. We’re not judging any of you… God already has. Read the word if you don’t believe me. We’re ALL tempted when we allow ourselves to hear drawn into our own lust. God did not tell you he wants you being Gay a little longer!! Don’t you realize, God will NEVER tell you anything that is apart from his word? WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE… make it wisely my friend… You been listening to Satan imitating God!! You CANT give into the desires of the flesh! Thats why Jesus says RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE “RUN” FROM YOU!
Mike, I am very touched by your testimony. Thank you so much for sharing with the world. Thank you for reminding us that we are not alone in this world. This is a very important video for us. Bless you! Needed to hear this today.
Do not allow the devil to trick you. Do not be proud in your sin. Read what God's word's say and do not go by your or anyone's else opinion. Being a christian is not perfect, we are meant to struggle, and that struggle comes from denying ourselves as Jesus said. Being queer should not and is not your identity. Your identity is in the person of Jesus Christ and I'm sorry to say but being proud of ones own sin is the sign that Satan as completed his work in you. Jesus loves you but he will not tolerant evil nor will he stand by it. Deny yourself and pick up your cross. God bless you.
When I became a christian many years ago it wasn't long before things within the system just seemed wrong. As a new believer it seemed imperative that I be "plugged into" a spot where I could be "used by God" within the "system". I always felt there was something amiss and felt like I was a rebellious believer trying to create division within the eatablishment. I believe God had been trying to tell me something as I look back now!
We have just recently made the decision to come out of the church system. While we attended small churches, (50 or less), it got to where it seemed fake. It’s hard to put into words. One church where I was just helping out for awhile with playing piano and leading the singing, the pastor began teaching things that are NOT in the Bible but Islamic. Not sure where he came up with some of his stuff. The church where we are members for the last 8 years and attended (except when called to help out somewhere else) that pastor began teaching nonsense like Jesus is our personal assistant. We can give him a message to take to our loved ones in heaven. Plus a bunch of other ridiculous nonsense. They think mean preaching is good preaching. Think Tony Hutson type screaming. When my 13 and 11 year olds keep leaning over to tell me something the preacher said isn’t in the Bible or I have to tell them the same, we have a problem. And if I don’t want my kids to lie, then how much harder is it to teach them that when the pastor is preaching lies? I think God has begun calling people out who are really following Him and willing to break away from what we have been brainwashed with which isn’t biblical.
Let God Be True and everyman a lier. It is written: God loves us all unconditionaly, you can't do a thing to make Him not love you. However, You are incharge of how please He is with you . Please have ears to hear and eyes to see what God say about homosexuals, lesbians... We pray you will acknowledge God and the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth. Leviticus 20:13 “‘If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them. Romans 1:26-32 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, I pray you choose truth, and Rightiousness according to God Almighty's standards.
Greetings, you look very masculine in your voice and appearance, intimacy is something personal, God knows that we all sin in different ways, He does not reject anyone
I watched a few of your videos and thought i understood where you were going. Now I feel you are obsessed with fighiting issues. Coming from a gay man. I am very comfortable supporting and being a part of my local churches. We have an agree to disagree relationship. We support one another in the best way we can. I attend services, support their groups and etc. I take from the messages what I can and stay silent on the rest. I am helping them in a couple of areas that I am able to. Your post makes the person not in a church turn further away from the church. I hope you find a positive neutral ground soon. I fear everyone you lead away from the Lord will be on you.
I do not hate you at all. But what is the difference between you and I. I repented of my sexual immorality. I took the bull by the horns and crucified these desires. That is called repentance. It is a battle to serve our CREATOR, GOD, KING. I have not had sex for decades. The Chinese pastor Watchman Nee lived out his last 20 years in a communist prison. The commies killed him. No one can be sexually immoral. Marriage and sex between a man and a woman is the standard. That is it.
Idk how I found your channel but I definitely know it has to do with God. I have been a Christian my whole life but kind of in and out of the church. I am now married to my wife and on the journey with God again..but, being a lesbian is kind of different in the church especially living in the south and I didn’t have anyone to relate to. But, you have given me courage to be who I am and still love god! Thank you!
Praise The ONE True living God! God did not change His mind about Homosexuality. It was always against the law of God and if you live in, you're trampling the free sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross! Ask Jesus, Ask Jesus to help you out, He wil
I was in this system for over a decade. I was pushed out because I took a stand for a liberal theological position of inclusivity and acceptance. I also went outside the “box” when it came to worship and ministry. Finally, I got pushed out in what became a conservative purge. The system is very real and it will eat its own if allowed to continue. I have been deconstructing for many years and struggle with religious PTSD due to the abuse I endured both in the system and after being pushed out.
Are you saying you pushed for acceptance of sin? Things the Bible clearly teaches against? Be more specific. Coming out of the system should have nothing to do with DEI.
@@ritadyer9295 I left because I sincerely followed Jesus' teaching of accepting all and the theological position of radical inclusive love. It has nothing to do with DEI. I also recognize that the Bible NEVER addresses same sex relationships in the way we understand them today. It addresses rape, humiliation and power imbalances as well as exploitational relationships. The "clobber passges" do not say what you think they say.
Your story is beautiful. Anytime God speaks, and His child listens is beautiful. Your story, every word of it, all that came to me is Proverbs 3:5- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will guide your steps. He wants you to trust Him, Mike. I'm gay too, but I am first His child. I seek Him. So that is pervasive. And that's all He wants from me. Nothing more. It's His first commandment. May God bless you !! And all that you do in His name.
I began attending church five years ago, and the first church I went to was pretty law-oriented. I was aware that the Bible describes homosexuality as an abomination in God's eyes. One day, I prayed and asked God if He had changed His law and accepted homosexual behavior. That weekend, I found myself having feelings for a girl in the church and started feeling reluctant to be intimate with men. This made me realize that God had delivered me. Even today, I sometimes experience homosexual feelings during spiritual low points, but I know who saved me. These feelings now serve as a reminder for me to turn to God. After one year, God called me into ministry and told me that I was part of the plan of the Kingdom of Heaven, and now I'm attending seminary, getting trained to be a pastor.

Wow!!! This is the best thing I have seen in a long time. I pray God will manifest His love though each one of you to this very precious group of people. I pray also that God will bring that special person into your life so that not only will you be allowed to love whom God wants you to love but also that you will be a full example of Gods' love and acceptance of the LGBTQ+. This message has made my spirit rejoice inside me.
God has only ONE VOICE and it is always peace and LOSS of INTEREST in the your sexuality and in the world. Why will God put too much emphasis on your sexuality when that is only 1 % of your life. I tell you just pray the Rosary everyday, 2X, 3X a day as needed you will find out you have no interest on the world but God only. God provides all the happiness and satisfaction in your life, you have no time to think of your sexuality.
I have no words to say I've been tearing up when I saw this video idk if I was ment to see this our not all I know is iv been questioning things lately about myself as a transwoman because I get so much negative from everyone around me bout LGBT lifestyle or character is wrong and abd people telling me God made Man and woman and i will always be a man and im going against gods creation but what do you expect from a town in NC in which this state needs someone like you because no one will fight LGBT rights here may this is why im writing this to let people know that this work to justify a community is in much need here State wide this state has suppressed the community so much here it feels like im the only one with a desire to fight even people that are a part of the community wont fight because they feel like its not the way to be 😢 but I pray that things will change. 🦋
Hi dear. Fellow Christ-ian here. Jesus lovingly said: "If any, man desires to follow me, let Him DENY Himself, take up His Cross, and follow me. Anyone who does not deny Himself and pick up His Cross is not worthy of me." Jesus, during His final moments on Earth (physically) said: Father, let this cup pass from Me, BUT NEVERTHELESS, NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR will be Done. Also, the Bible says: " No temptation has come upon you ,that is uncommon to man" Do you know 1 Peter 5 :6 That says "Resist the devil, and He will flee" Also: "1 Peter 1: Be ye Holy, just as I am Holy" or "Be ye Perfect, just as I am perfect"
"I too was in my living room and have experienced moments recalling my past where things just didn't seem "normal" when I realized God does have His plan. 59 years of life and I could go on sharing those noments, but will refrain from stealing your moment. However, I will share a similar moment you also experienced about being "people". The voice in my head spoke to me on understanding who I really was. To stop labeling ourselves as man or woman and realize WE ARE FIRST ALL HUMANS before labeling ourselves as man/woman, gay/straight, black/white. Today, having put GOD first in my life, allows me to see God's work still in progress. And I agree, God/the Holy Spirit doesn't exclude his children in no way or form. How can people accept changes in history and in society yet not be open to the possibility that what was going on over thousands of years ago (even before Christ) condoning homosexuality can no longer exist?
You do know it’s blasphemy right? Bible readers know what God mean when he say put a difference between holy and unholy and between clean and unclean. Ima leave it at that.
It’s saddens me to see how many people you are sending to hell with this message. If you truly are a Christian, you would open up the word and obey with God says not make it all right. May God have mercy on you. Praying for you
Something interesting in my journey is growing up Catholic, and Jesus telling me He's really in the Eucharist- and i feel safe and peace whenever i visit the Tabernacle. And He also told me when i was young that if something ever looked irreconcilable between us that He would go with my choice on the matter. And that it may look like He has something technically against me.. But that wasn't true, and there was nothing between us. It does feel crazy that He keeps leading me to the Eucharist in the Catholic Church and also affirms me even though the Catholic Church doesn't. No one I've talked to from the Catholic Church believes Jesus would say those things to me which feels really isolating... But i can't deny who i know Jesus to be for sure.
Hi. Thank you so much for your honesty. I was dragged up in Christianity. However I've always loved the lord. My daughter is pro lbt etc. And I love and accept her, and this always sat poorly with me. Thank you. You've helped so much
God does NOT want you to be gay. I was a lesbian for 20+ yrs but the Lord Jesus Christ set me free. He delivered me. I wasn't looking to be delivered and my girlfriend lived with me and we were happy. She moved back to her hometown & joined a church and is extremely active in her church. I am no longer gay. I was even married to a woman and I called her and witnessed to her. She and I hadn't spoken in 8 yrs. She thanked me, I didn't do anything its ALL HIM i told her, for he is AMAZING. So now shes no longer gay. That's 3 people thats NO LONGER gay. Therefore I have a question, why does God want you to be gay❓️ God doesn't want you to be Gay. You want to be gay. I wanted to be gay too. The Bible is CLEAR about this issue therefore we dont have to guess. Romans 1:24-27 24¶Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26¶For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
First, Gods words or what anyone in the Bible has said will always stay the same, “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” (Deut. 4:2.) so it is said from God that you shall not edit God's word! Also homosexuality is a sin because it is not God's original design for intercourse or marriage, God loves you and wants you to have faith in Christ and turn from sin to be saved! The Bible was written to please our ears. The Bible says Matthew 16:24, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me". The Bible was not supposed to affirm our every desire but to tell us to change and turn from sin!
