Brazilian Christian singer Jotta A, declares himself homosexual? 

JOTTA A's statement on HIS Instagram account.

Her. Lol

Her??😳

HIS instagram account!!!!!!!

Let’s pray for him.

Congratulations that is a very worthy decision you have made!keep on going brother 👏

I admired your strength

Wow Glory to God for saving you

No where in the Bible does it say being gay is a bad thing

@@jwex93 exactly lmfaooo weird ass wannabe prayers in this bitch wtff

Thanks

Ok, i think so

Amen

That’s all we can do not judge it look different we on him and all I can keep thinking about is the return of the prodical son who left home with his inheritance and got lost and soon found his way back and I believe this us what will happen with jotta a

So shall it be in Jesus name Amen

Your statement is loaded for all the wrong reasons. If he's declaring himself heterosexual, or homosexual, the only thing we should do is pray for him, as we're all sinners, yes? I love the thought of that man because he's good-hearted in more ways than you'll ever know, and God gave him a voice that he uses to inspire the better angels in all of us. Oh how he has given so much of himself, whilst the slithering snakes in the music business have taken advantage of his singularly sensational talent and bodacious youth. YOU PEOPLE now are putting him through hell via ignorant assumptions perpetrated through the guise of piety. No wonder haughty people like you are turning good people from religion. There's nothing wrong with the beautiful soul which is Jotta A. He's not all of a sudden someone who needs prayer because you, YOU, think the worst of people for their sexuality. That's dumb and you're no remedy. This is 2020 in the year of Our Lord. The only thing people like you should do is look in the mirror for who must do better going forward. The only thing WE should do is pray for you to understand homosexuals and heterosexuals are our brothers and sisters. Nothing less, nothing more. With all due respect. (KFB 052120)

Kevin Boone You don’t even know what you are talking about ，have you ever read bible? I agree with Jesus Saves。

@@shinjaychang114 Using Bibles to excoriate LGBQT brethren is a vice centered in a reckless, literal interpretation of its "men sleeping with men" (MSWM), and related verses. Christians are called to follow Jesus, to imitate His life. It's important we know there is nothing in the Bible that speaks to LGBQT people per se, let alone ones in loving relationships, as the ancients had little understanding of them, gender, and the science of sexual orientation. The original Biblical "men sleeping with men" (MSWN), and related verses, are largely there, and interpreted, incorporating a serious misunderstanding of original intent. Reading the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and New Testament in Ancient Biblical Hebrew, Classical Aramaic and, in the first translations of them, into Koine Greek, the original languages, is paramount. (Koine Greek was the language of commoners.) But for ignorance, heterosexual sensibility, Christian arrogance and/or vanity, most theologians, ministers and lay people (and others) don't see the truth. What's important about those verses is CONTEXT, and without it, Christians "tell the truth while telling lies" (my quote). 1. "AN AX MURDER ISN'T ABOUT THE AX." MSWM, and related verses, speak specifically to heterosexual male behavior, for all the right reasons. There's a 'distinction with a difference' between homosexuality & homosexual, and, heterosexuality & heterosexual, each one, and it demonstrates, for example, why homosexuals often have children the "old-fashioned" way (heterosexuality), and imprisoned heterosexuals often sexually engage their sex (homosexuality). 2. By knowing the history of sexuality in Ancient Greece, the Ancient Near East, and the Ancient Roman World, the areas in which the anthology of Biblical stories take place, we'd know the Ancient Greek practice of adolescent male and heterosexual adult male love, "pederasty," was popular in its athletic, military and upper class sectors, while freeborn men in the vast Ancient Roman World often engaged in anal intercourse with lower rank boys and men -- slaves, gladiators, clowns and actors, for instance. Freeborn men could be put to death for being the receiver (bottom) in such situations, a penalty noted in the original Biblical documents. As important was the practice of homosexuality within the biblical cult of temple prostitution, and other cults, and in the biblical notion referencing "man's inhumanity to man," which includes references to "carnal knowledge," meaning to "know"/"to rape" -- males vanquished by war or street fights, one's abused for being poor, strangers and/or travelers, for example. (Females were not immune to victimization.) 3. Women played a tangential role why many men engaged in homosexual activity. Ones in antiquity thought twice before sexually engaging husbands and boyfriends, as it could lead to pregnancy, which put them, and their babies, in mortal danger. Unlike today with advances in maternal/fetal medicine, and nutrition, women often died during pregnancy, giving birth or shortly thereafter. Likewise their babies often died in the womb, during birth, shortly thereafter, or before puberty. For the consequences, women thought hard before agreeing to sexual intercourse. Many men compensated by engaging their sex, perpetrating rape against the*/+m, frequenting male prostitutes, etc. (Heterosexual rape, prostitution and orgies occurred as well.) If these males were sexually engaging their sex, the prophets believed the human race would become extinct. 4. SODOM & GOMORRAH is about wrongs done to the poor, neighbors, travelers and other strangers in the Dead Sea area between what are now Jordan and Israel in the Middle East. But in the 12th century, after a pamphlet published by a pious Roman Catholic monk exposed rampant homosexuality between cardinals, bishops and priests in the Vatican and elsewhere, the pope was alarmed and chose to falsely teach that homosexuals were the foundation of that iconic Biblical story, making it part of its theology. Prior to the Protestant Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church was the premier Christian denomination. The original Hebrew Bible (Old Testament/OT) documents don't mention homosexuals, as it speaks to groups of people engaging in "CARNAL KNOWLEDGE" IE., RAPE (REGARDLESS THE SEX OR AGE OF THE VICTIM) AND OTHER INHOSPITABLE BEHAVIORS perpetrated against neighbors and strangers -- robbery, fighting, and refusing them food and shelter, for example. (Source: In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy by Frédéric Martel, 2019) In conclusion, there's no hard evidence the Christian God ever said anything about homosexuals, nor are women in the Bible as it relates to lesbianism. When you see such verses, men put them in, as they aren't in the original documents. Many will say they were "inspired by God" to add them, but some harbored political agendas -- including deadly ones, others made mistakes in translation, some used terms which had different meanings in another culture, or no word at all. Etc. Indeed the harsh Old English term "ABOMINATION" doesn't appear in the original Biblical documents. "Sheketz" and "tovah," Ancient Biblical Hebrew words meaning "taboo" were used, and which one depended on the context. Male homosexuality, wearing woolen clothing, adultery, fornication, eating shellfish and witchcraft are among the taboos, which were a way to help distinguish Ancient Israelites from the numerous religions, spiritual philosophies, and gods inherent to Biblical lands. Most hypocritically point fingers at homosexuals, though no human is without sin. ... AFRICAN HOMOSEXUALITIES -- AFRICA IS THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. And religion is fine, except when it isn't. Most Africans today have internalized the behavior of their former colonial Arab and European masters, who bought Islam and Christianity, respectively, to bear on what heretofore was an acceptance of transgenders and same-gender loving (SGL) individuals. Within various African ethnic groups, the acceptance included: recognizing SGL members have the power of "two-spirits," ying & yang, male and female, a "double-consciousness" that could be used for counseling others, or settling disputes, for example; some ethnicities allowed marriage/some of these unions didn't involve sex for being more concerned with strengthening economic, family and/or clan ties, for instance; in some traditions bisexuality was common/in others bisexuality was common until marriage -- some relationships endured regardless; other cultures treated the SGL phenomenon nonchalantly, like, "So what?" Arab and European invaders undermined those practices, and pitted regions and groups against one another, the result of which extinguished the vibrancy of African cultures and traditions in general. It's time to recover our memories. HOMOPHOBIA IS UN-AFRICAN. CIVILITY IS AFRICAN. ...

This video means nothing we cant take things out of context just because of a post

The devil is busy... The music industry and mega media is the devil's biggest mouthpiece. The use young singers to draw the youth to follow them modeling after the famous singer. And then have the singer to come out as gay later. Hoping the young fans will follow the singer away from God and into the devils hands.Some of these child singers are raised up in satanism and has been living a lie from the start. And some are tricked and lured away with money,fame,sex, and drugs. Jotta has been performing sence young as 6 years old. Bringing in tithes to the church. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vFTv3BRSf_g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uuntN-84-r0.html Even Isaac Santos came out Gay.. It makes you wonder about the "Jovens Talentos Kids - Raul Gil " Show... what is happening to the young boys behind the scenes..And the way the old host likes to hug on the little boys..creepy.. Alot of the young boy have come out as gay after being on " Jovens Talentos Kids". I think the devil is busy there. Even the amount of makeup they put on the boys is telling.. Remember Isac Santos the obvious lipstick and eye shadow they put on him.. I would never let my child go on one of these shows... exspecially before he was beyond puberty and had a strong sense of self.. They destroy thses boys at a innocent age.. And the Gospel singers like Isac Santos took it hard when the church told him he could not be a praise leader anymore.. Because his lifestyle was not the role model they wanted little boys to follow.. be he could stay in the church. He was crushed and you can hear the hurt in him.. These talent TV shows tell them as long as you are famous you can have things your way... but that is not reality.. Fame is fickle.. and so are the friends and fans that come with it..

My heart bled when I saw what Jotta is going through now. I cried and prayed for him like I've never done for anyone. I know that the Holy Spirit is currently convicting him wherever he is right now, and I believe that Jotta will spend the rest of his life Glorifying the name of Jesus. Not only will he return back to Christ Jesus, Jotta's return will win thousands of souls for the kingdom of Heaven. The gate of hell will never prevail over the life of Jotta in the name of Jesus Christ Amen . I also pray for each and everyone of us and our families, that by the power in the name of Jesus Christ we will finish well through the guidance of the Holy Spirit Amen

I agree with rest of jottas. Fans we all love you and won’t give up chasing this lamb that the lord loves dearly I have never in my life heard a song that gave me goosebumps but jotta singing worthy is the lamb and amazing grace did you are one of Gods chosen ones one day soon you will suddenly say this life I’m living now isn’t for me I miss the joy of the people making them happy and it will bless your sole.

Thank u so much may God abundantly bless u

I feel sad too, because I like him so much, what he does is totally wrong now. we supposed to live for god, not for yourself, because we’re god’s children. We do things to glory god , not to make yourself happy, otherwise if you like to do whatever you want, you may become a gambler, an adulterer, an alcoholics, ............, hope everybody pray for him, I am still love him, everyone makes mistakes sometimes don’t judge him.

I bet most of you here have done or thought worse than homosexuality....!!! God ( if he does exist...) created the mankind and the rest of the world...So if He was so powerful and if he can do everything, he should have keep homosexuality from existing!! Instead we can witness that homosexuality is everywhere. It's not only a human behavior. There is homosexuality in animals. Besides, if you knew about science (instead of developing all your knowledge with holy books), you would know that Nature removes useless behaviors and physical characteristics when those are unnecessary for a species.

Kevin Boone You see，how many people agree with you?

@@shinjaychang114 Don't be absurd, Rev. Dr. Chang. On this subject, ignorance, Christian arrogance & vanity, and heterosexual sensibility are serious barriers to THE TRUTH -- which is more important than the number of those who would disagree. There's education to be done. And some couldn't give a damn because they're satisfied being in a sunken place. But going forward they will be called on it.

Amen

Dude, if you're gay, you're not a real Christian.

@@Sarita-tp8dx The amount of ignorance in that statement is astounding. Being a Christian is a choice. Being gay is not. If you are going to pit them against each other, you are simply going to push people AWAY from the Church. You are doing the work of the devil. Evangelism is our duty as Christians (to make all people understand that choices are bad, but who God made them to be is good because we were made in His image.) No one chooses their orientation. God designs everyone with their orientation, skin color, gender, height, eye color, etc, into place. Woe to you who tries and blame someone for something they can't control. Go educate yourself and silence your tongue until you obtain understanding on this subject. You are doing work against the cross. Souls are counting on you getting a breakthrough of understanding in this area.

You lie dev. There is nothing like a gay Christian . God instructed Adam to Eve not Adam to Adam . If wanted men to be attracted to men , will he not have created another man to Adam .

INHERENT SEXUALITY DOESN'T MATTER, BEHAVIOR DOES. Our sexuality is like race, handedness (l/r) and eye-color, as these are states-of-being. You don't get to dispute this, you get to be sadly mistaken, if not ignorant. Instead of your foolishness, model, teach and preach that EVERY HUMAN RELATIONSHIP MUST BE CENTERED IN LOVE, that when promiscuity & adultery, hate & coercion, pedophilia & pederasty, and deception, criminality & hedonism are involved, individuals, families, communities and nations are torn asunder. Don't get it twisted. Tell the truth. Teach that, or die trying. With all due respect.

How do you know he's confused? My cousin is gay and he is happier than most of straight people that I know. Plus you built your knowledge and your intelligence out of a holy books written by tribal humans....So please learn how to think by yourself instead of annoying good people who did nothing to you or to anyone else. Plus you should be more worried about rapers, murderers and pedophiles than a guy who has sex in a different way than yours.

@@ddkay6478 Those book weren't written by just humans. They were written by anointed men of God. But you wouldn't know what it means to have God's anointing because you are of the world.

Your right to say we shouldn't judge its ok to be honest and pray for those weak in faith, but there things are to be judge, to say God excepts him for sinning is not ok because its biblical no sexually immoral will inherit the kingdom of God, and many battlling against that spirit will except and can end up in hell because what he said.

Nothing sad at all. There’s nothing wrong with him.

I agree- Jotta A has given his whole life and talent to worshipping God. He hasn't given up on God, he has just given up on trying to please the criticizing, judgmental, Christian-in-name-only public. He's surrounded by loyal, musician friends and can worship with the Holy Spirit any time, but the fickle public has lost him.

You see, that’s why the Bible exists. To tell us right from wrong. It also says that once you know of the truth and still choose to live in a wrongful way? Then you are held t even more accountable for your actions. I John 3 says that you are a rebel if you willingly choose sin. I Peter 2 says that it would’ve been better not knowing God then getting to know Him and His Word and still choosing sin.... so yeah, you could say WE who are Christian are pretty shaken up to see a soul like his get lost. All I did on this video was post Bible verses because the Bible says that the word of God is the one that’s going to judge us. I’m sure if you were more acquainted with the word of God you would have a different opinion. But nonetheless, May God bless you.

I have read few Christians on this site. I'm sure Jotta's pastor, mom and family are praying for him, like they should, and for everybody, not just those close to them. Jotta A has a relationship with God. Only God can know his heart, Rev. Dr. Charles, and He alone will be judge and jury at eternity.

And like most, you have little clue about why the anti-homosexuality verses are in the Bible in the first place, and why some were added in the 1940s. And that's a damnable shame. God made everyone in His image, including our homosexual sisters and brothers. When thinking about THOSE PEOPLE, sin shouldn't enter our minds. We are all sinners, and fall short of God's glory, so we must confess, and make the effort to do better. Always. And remember there's a mortal wage for hypocrisy, so what's the point of demonizing folks most don't understand, or care to? Think. God gave us a brain to. WE ARE NOT OLD TESTAMENT PEOPLES.
