CLIP: Tony Gaskins DEBATES ACE Metaphor on the PURPOSE of DATING 

👉 Dating Cards: www.hardlyinitiated.com/products/dating-deck

Ace has a worldly mind! Tony is speaking from what God wants

Tony Gaskin is not Double minded... He's straight forward and direct with his conversation. He's not making a blanket statement. I'm 100% with Tony.

This debate was a spiritual warfare. And Jesus follower, Tony Gaskins won this fight 👏🏿 💪🏿 🙌🏽

Christian women, I hope you're paying attention to this conversation. Married culture vs boyfriend/girlfriend culture. Choose which goal you're moving towards and date accordingly.

Don’t like a sneak attack they pulled on Tony. They were wrong for that.. 😡

Ace is attempting to defend his platform while Tony is defending principled dating. Two totally different directions and mindsets. The goal should always be marriage dating to “find yourself” is childish. Travel, read a book, take a hike. You can find yourselves there.

He said “I grew up religious too” that’s the problem, a lot of us grew up in church, that doesn’t mean a thing if we aren’t following the principles of Jesus Christ.

Tony's face says: ok, do it your way and let me know how that goes for ya'll LOL. Tony is right. Point blank PERIOD.

Tony Gaskins Removed confusion brought clarity and reset the bar on the field. Thank you sir. #Reset #HelpTheMen

I am a part of Tony Gaskins' audience.

As a woman who desires to be married to a God-fearing , principled man , I approve Tony’s message . Please keep all that “dating” confusion away from me.

If you are unhealed you shouldn't be dating cause you out here hurting other people. TG thank you for sticking with the truth. Do whats best for the community 🎉

This should be an eye opener… shows the two types of men we are dealing with today. One who’s trying to please god while the other is trying to please the world ! I’m so thankful that God is working on me because I probably would have been confused too ❤️

You can tell a worldly man from a man with God's heart. I'm glad we can see the difference. That man's perspective is all that is going wrong with society. Thanks Tony

Ace says no one disagrees with two parent households while promoting and validating exactly what leads to single parent households--aimless dating and casual sex.

Thank you Tony for being a man of principle and clarity..

Listen Tony I'm with you when you're right ✅️ and... you're 100% right

Done deal!!! YES! Gaskin all the way. Useless debate.

Tony Gaskins said nothing but the TRUTH & the TRUTH shall set you free 🕊️.. point blank perioddddd !

Ace is TRIGGEREDDDDDD 😂

I'd like to see Stephan Speaks, Tony Gaskins', Ace Metaphor, and Tim Ross all on one panel.

Tony you are supported. WE NEED what you have to offer; we thank you for your honesty & transparency. Continue to do the Lord's work 👏🏽👏🏽

Ahh!!! Good job Tony! It’s so refreshing to finally see a black man who it’s afraid to counter and stand firm against popular but confusing and fruitless messages/platforms our culture promotes.

Cmon Tony!!!! With the word!!! Doesn't matter the time of dating... God's way is the only way .... He lays the foundation of marriage/dating

Tony is correct!!!! Of course its based principles... it's God's way not Tony's way... he keep saying Tony's way... use your platform to lead your people to marriage, especially our black culture, we need voices thats going to lead us to build positive healthy marriages... men are uncomfortable about marriage we need men like Tony to bring our men to being intentional about marriage!!!!

The hosts are so messy for how they played this out…. Smh,

I agree with Tony. Only people in healthy marriages should be giving advice. The black community doesn’t need the other voices. Look at the data on our marriages and out of wedlock children

There are married people on Ace’s panel and even Stephen Speaks who is a Christian. I went to the live podcast show and was grieved tbh. The live show was like a club. With the music playing and the twerk contest. Then the questions that were selected to be asked were childish and overly sexual. It was clear that Ace and most of the panel live in the world. The married woman and Stephen Speaks “ironically” left during the overly sexual segment. I also noticed Stephen looked visibly uncomfortable during some of the questions. The questions that were even a sprinkle biblically-related Ace would ask the married woman or Stephen to answer. Which showed me that Ace is not coming from a biblical background and doesn’t want to. He does promote the world and he promotes sex. I had to repent for being blinded and interested in the live show. I believe there’s a reason why Ace blocks out cursing on RU-vid. In person he was cursing so much and drunk. Tony and Ace have different beliefs and audiences so this “debate” would never come to an agreement.

21:15 this what Ace is saying right here is the problem right now in this world. Just because people are doing it, doesn’t mean it’s right. Too many are living life in a way that’s taking them straight to hell. Life is for a purpose but not many understand this! Heal first then decide to date.

The difference here is one guys is strictly promote marital unity under God's covenant. The other is promoting relationship entertainment.

Tony, as a married person, is speaking straight facts. Respectfully.

Tony G is standing on business and God’s word. Ace shows are just entertainment and influencers speaking on their perspective but still have no results. Once again, if everyone has a different perspective who is really right? He literally just said dating can be for finding yourself or entertaining purposes. Dating is not therapy sir. Principle will stand over “perspective” any day.

YES TO TONY. If you TEACH BLACK CHILDREN you will see that exactly what he is saying is what is needed!! Our black children are suffering SOOO much and it’s their parents and the culture we have let permeate that has ruined them!

Ace’s Closing: “I like confusion and talk for talk sake. You’re uniformed Tony bc you don’t like listening to everyone’s pointless perspective”. Ace is literally the blind leading the blinder.

I love Tony’s calmness throughout this conversation as ace being argumentative

Everything TG said was on point. I'm 34, and if you are living this life and dating, you should be dating with the purpose of marriage. However, this generation is so lost with social media, etc., that almost everything he says will go over people's heads.

I have gained even more respect for Tony after this brief debate.. Don't play with God's principles!!

Tony Gaskin made some valid points and everything he stated is actual and factual!!!! I tuned into Ace Metaphor's, "Tonight's Conversation" podcast for a few episodes and instantly felt confused and the conversations were very cringy and unsettling. I just can't entertain nonsense and what's the purpose of having a platform if it doesn't produce any substance? How is it beneficial for the black community? Like Tony said, we are struggling as a black community, and we need to produce information that will help build healthy families and marriages. "Tonight's Conversation" is part of the problem!!!

"Hold on lil bro you got a little too much base in your voice" 😅😂

Tony is standing on God’s Word. Not everyone will live this way. They may call themselves Christians but the Bible says many will say lord lord and Jesus will say he never knew them. The Bible says live holy. This applies to every area of life yes even dating. Yall want to date and live according to your flesh but then wonder why you keep dealing with heart ache, disappointment and pain

Yesss Tony👏👏👏 this is a clear representation of Godly wisdom vs. Carnal mindset.

Respectully Ace, if you don't stand for something , you'll fall for anything...

This debate made it very clear why intentional dating is a better for women spirituality, mentally, physically and emotionally. I feel like the recreational dating that Ace mentioned is the reason we have so many women who were misled, abused, and cheated on by men “trying to find themselves” and as a society we end up with fatherless children who will only repeat these vicious cycles as adults.

Get him Tony!! Casual relationships leads to risky consequences. Dating is not experimental and for healing which leads to a heartbreak if the person's expectations and values are higher than the other person. Ace is missing the whole point.

Team Tony Gaskins all the way! The principles of love and dating have not changed...amen!

As a man, I agree with Tony

I love Tony’s message it helped me hold my boyfriend accountable, who is now my husband,❤❤I will always be grateful that I found your message at I time when I was lost. God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Tony Gaskin is absolutely right!! One thing for sure, when you are right, people get offended and will argue with you no matter what.

Tony is so right, I went to one of their events in Chicago “Tonight’s Conversation” and it was pointless. There was no purpose, no solution, no take away. The panel depended on the audience to navigate the conversation. It was essentially pointless. And now I understand why. The sensationalism is what led me to buy the ticket.

I'm a #TonyGaskins listener all the way... he's direct, constant/consistent, relatable, respectful, integrity-filled, and a transparent believer through his speech, character, and walk.

Ace got SERVED from the sec he opens his mouth and Tony responded! And he KNEW IT, written in his face.

The problem with people who overemphasize subjectivity is that, in their cowardice and dishonesty, they never acknowledge that not all ideas of life (and of dating in particular) are conducive to a well-functioning society: we might all have different approaches to dating, but not all of these approaches will lend themselves to healthy relationships. Thus, any community-oriented thought leader should not shy away from saying, "Right is right, and wrong is wrong!". Only trifling people benefit from cultural ambiguity, as they can always hide behind the pretense of subjectivity to not be accountable for anything. Is it any wonder, then, that many people nowadays are so open about cheating? After all, maybe faithfulness is not everyone's "truth"!

Tony is right and the reason people are so broken is because they are looking for love in all the wrong places besides doing it the most highs way

As a man that lives with purpose, I attest that Tony is absolutely right you can’t placate to everyone especially when you over 30. I Tell my lady this all the time.

There’s no such thing as a coincidence… This was a Setup

Tony Gaskins is THE ONE & THE TWO baby!!! ❤

One thing we don't need is more divisiveness. Thank you for promoting mature dialogue.

Tony Gaston is 100% correct everything he said about Ace’s show is what you do experience confusion and sensationalism

You will know them by their fruit.

TONY IS RIGHT. Listen to married people when it comes to relationships. They’re at the epitome form of a relationship, lifelong commitment. Listening to anyone else, its not advice but information on their experience. We need more men like Tony

Tony's directness and transparency are truly refreshing. His insights on manhood, relationships, and much more are not only accurate but also deeply needed in today's world. It's inspiring to see a Black man genuinely walking the walk and preaching the word of the Maker. Although I seldom comment online, I feel compelled to share how much I appreciate Tony's contributions

Tony is too blessed to go on Ace’s panel

“Heal before you deal”-- Tony G.

Team TONY! Just observing the difference in their body language speaks volumes. Tony was confident & poised.

Can you imagine someone with no results telling Tony Gaskin "do a little more homework!" It's like someone with a GED telling someone with a Masters to "do a little more homework." In a deck of cards, Ace is definitely a joke, here! Lol!

TEAM TONY! He’s sooooo right!!!! Cool, calm, collected and wise!

Dating for fun is immature.

I’ll never understand Ace. Marriage is based on Godly principle. Why would any ungodly person desire marriage? If you don’t desire Christ, marriage is not necessary in your life.

Ace came in with a whole attitude of arrogance to Tony, that type of energy is a no-no for me. He came in like a bully, that's what was felt. I am Team Tony!!!

Tony always stand on business 🐐 🔥 Praying for God to raise up more men as bold and on fire for God!

I stand 10toes down w/Tony Gaskins & I L❤️‍🩹D what he had to say.

Mr Gaskin❤ is always on point !!!!!!!!!!

Tony is speaking truth, stop mixing, it won’t work. Tony conversation is solid, it has a foundation. You cannot build without a foundation.

Tony wasn’t giving worldly living and messaging a pass. And I respect that.

This was healthy because it's easy to be used to being the only voice. As Christians, we have to learn how to stand on God's word and our testimonies of obedience to it. God desires that we be the compare to the culture's contrast. It's a great commission, indeed.

Ace said a whole lotta’ NOTHING and HI FOUL for bringing on that clown to begin with

7:01 I'm with Tony! It's not Tony's alignment, it is God's alignment. As we look at the alarming increase rate in OUR community of broken homes, heart, and families dating OUTSIDE of any way that is not God's way is a CLEAR sign God's way is the way, truth, and life.

Gaskins shut this one down 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I agree with Tony the entire goal of dating is two healthy people resulting in marriage . God created family

Whew chile, Tony was absolutely correct. I can understand Ace metaphor but his message was a bit redundant.

Ace is on point. As a former debater, Ace had the POINTS OF POWER!

Tony said we're apart of the same generation 😂😂😂

It's NOT Tony's Way, It's Yahweh's Way!!! Tony is doing Kingdom Work in an efforts to REBUILD the Black Families, Black Communities. Anything outside of Yahweh's Way is leading us straight to hell.

Tonny G. You're speaking the truth. The word of God is the TRUTH. And everyother thing is a lie, confussion ...

Toni won this Argument Hands Down!

Why is Tony evening having a conversation with someone who is not equally yoked with him

Its Gods way or the highway with TonyG 😂

Yes I agree with Tony Gaskins

The guy has word salad and TG picked up on it and dismissed him. Total confusion coming out of Ace’s mouth. Too much double mindedness and HI is a fan of Ace.

School these ‘Brothers’ Tony Gaskins🙏🏾‼️ 🗣️

I love Tony Gaskins because he reminds us how weird this generations values are. God principles will always make everything else sound crazy. Because honestly “not everyone dates for marriage” is telling. Ace be so fake passionate in his advice to ppl only to argue with a man who’s all about bringing man and woman together in the most serious way. Through marriage! Just the way he hopped on the live with that devious smirk to argue with Tony let me know where he is spiritually and he ain’t really about what Tony about. This was an example that the real gon always expose the fake. Ace is performative and what the Bible calls a “false prophet” he really got a whole show dedicated to giving ppl relationship advice but this debate proves he really just about drama, entertainment and making money.

Tony ATE! While marriage is not for me, I totally agree with him.

TONY!!!!!!!!!!! great conversation sir, you laid out your points and the facts

Tony said cut out all that emotion we are talking like men 😂

This was abit uncomfortable 😮

Metaphor NEEDS TO SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!! HE'S A JOKE

This definitely re affirms my appreciation for Tony Gaskins and his message. Please bring him back on the show soon! 🤍

Tonight’s Conversation =entertainment Tony Gaskins= Godly principles to date and have a healthy marriage!

18:56 When Tony G said “Yeah Yeah Aye! Calm down lil Bruh cause you getting too much bass in your voice” 🗣🗣🗣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
