"Homosexual" & 1946 - The Becket Cook Show Ep.13 

What about bi- male who are with female bi can they marry? Or straight man with a bi woman can they marry? And if they are Christian and one is bi can they marry?

That's awesome, Jeremy! Praise God!! 🙌🏻

More grace to you. God sees your heart and will envelope you with His grace.

As a Christian parent I was looking for resources or stories as my grown daughter attached herself to a lesbian lifestyle some years ago. Your story reminds us all to stay prayerful. There has always been Jesus , there has not always been hope. So I put my confidence in the Word of God and that his promises are yes and amen. Thank you so much for your videos...they are great for study and increasing understanding of the Scriptures. What a wonderful testimony!

Please do you will not be disappointed and forever changed God will bless you but there will be trials and tribulations but do not let this sway your decision this is Satan trying to break you and he will try … trust me just stay in the word the Bible and God will give you strength !!

God is worth it Jeremy . Be blessed!

Yes we do Beckett I ditto last comment

Amen

I have a gay son. I live him very much. I'm going to get your book, for him as a gift. Hope he will read it.

There are all sorts of "clobber passages" that can be proof texted on various issues that gore people's oxes. It's all a matter of interpretation. There are clobber passages that suggest the Bible is pro-slavery.

The only "clobbering" that wil take place is when we stand before God and try to explain why we didn't listen to His commands.

Bible been edited bit

Amen!

YES, BROTHER BECKETT GOD IS USING YOU POWERFULLY IN THESE LAST DAYS. STAY FAITHFUL TO GOD, JESUS AND THE CROSS. YOU ARE A BLESSING TO MANY WHO ARE CONFUSED IN THEIR SEXUALITY. THERE ISN'T A LOT OF TIME LEFT BEFORE CHRIST COMES TO RAPTURE HIS CHURCH. GOD IS USING YOU TO GIVE SO MANY. WHO ARE CONFUSED TO HEAR YOUR SOUND REASONING COUPLED WITH GOD'S HOLY WORD. STAY STRONG MY KINGDOM BROTHER👑

🙌🏻

Just amazing to me the links people will go to justify their heat and phobias. 🙌

And in this case “lying to yourselves”. The scholarship showing the TRUTH that homosexuality is NOT a sin is factual and undeniable. You are just too attached to your homophobia to accept it.

@@Mabeylater293it is 100% percent a sin

Most so called sins are clearly bad because of how they effect others. Two men having hot sex harms no one. Calling it immoral is the same as calling it bad but no one can explain what's bad about it. The human race doesn't have to worry about extinction anymore and from what I can tell child birth is a punishment to all women for eve eating the apple...now that sounds bad.

Last days. People want their ears tickled and no sound doctrine .

"Why are there so FEW truth tellers like you, Becket?" It could be that it takes a special person to be a witness to those in this lifestyle. For instance, my weight struggle is not going to be "helped" by an always-skinny person telling me I just need to eat less and move more blah blah blah because I know they've never experienced my daily temptations. In like manner, I doubt any same-sex-attracted person would believe I could have anything to say to them since I've never dealt with that particular sin. Becket has a special "mission field" for his testimony and I believe God is using him to bless many.

That makes me sad to hear about Wheaton!

@@Sundayschoolnetwork I know. And it was in some public forums too.

Yes I agree. My daughter presented me this find mainly because she wants to challenge the Bible. She said it’s referring to young boys only pedophilia. She is practicing gay lesbian. Please pray for her. Pray for her redemption.

Does you priest teach from the Holy Bible or do you have your own scripture ? not sure just asking ?

@@user-dn1pj3db2k just out of curiosity. Is this question alluding to Sola Scriptura ?

@@ozzyb6595 i’ve heard from other Catholics that they have their own Bible I guess and so some of the scriptures that are in the original holy Bible text are not in their Bible💁‍♀️ is that true?

@@user-dn1pj3db2k oh I’m not 100% certain. I thought you referred to Sola Scriptura. Which is what all Catholics are against. They don’t believe that the Holy Bible is the only authority. They do have other books, but I’d be foolish to say I know anything about them.

Me too.

🙌🏻

Not his actual name tho

I feel same

So do I!

Yep… justifying the sin of heresy and calling Jesus a liar. The church doesn’t see the pole that is sticking out of its eyeball… Jesus didn’t come to condemn, but to save .. meanwhile all of you are condemning everyone around you instead of looking inwardly to see what you are missing. Do you actually believe in John 3:16.. which includes whosoever… all who believe… which includes LGBTQ people… wow .. plot twist. There will be plenty of LGBTQ people in heaven with their Father who they love. I wonder how many heretics will end up in hell because they never truly believed in what Jesus did for them and decided to be so self-righteous and do their own works 😮

Yes

Yes he is.

Marie, I was incredibly disappointed in Becket's approach on this article. This is what I wrote to him: 1. You say Ed Oxford assumed that knabenshander meant “boy molester”, and that it may not be an accurate translation for a 500 year old document - that it may have changed meanings. You call this “red flag number one”. Yet in truth Ed has done extensive study with German scholars and researchers to determine that in fact it does carry the same meaning of “boy molester” over the past several centuries. Although this word is not commonly used among German people today, word studies show the true meaning and understanding of this German word - boy molester. By the way, you are referencing an incredibly brief article that is not capable of showing the extent of study done by Oxford, so keep in mind that you should probably do your due diligence before claiming “foul” and it could lead to less embarrassment on your part. 2. You said Oxford mistakenly attributed the coining of the word “homosexual” to the Germans. In truth it was Karl Kertbeny who coined the term “homosexual”. Although Kertbeny was of Hungarian blood, he moved to Germany and settled there for the remainder of his career. I think Oxford was referring to the environment of Kertbeny’s work (Germany) rather than the bloodline of Kertbeny (Hungarian). Regardless, it was the German history, research, and case studies that Oxford was focusing on. Don’t discount the irrefutable facts in the article based on one small misunderstanding. That would not be good scholarship. 3. You continue to push your opinion that it doesn’t matter what scholars thought 500 years, ago, instead it matters what Paul intended 2000 years ago. And OF COURSE this is what we are all looking for - the original meaning. To suggest that Oxford isn’t of the same opinion would reveal that you didn’t understand the article clearly. Please reference the title of the article which is a question: “Has ‘Homosexual’ Always Been in the Bible?” The article ventures to answer that question which is a resounding “NO”. And the article goes on to give a very brief history of how other words have been used in this passage over the past 500 years. The article did not intend to discuss the previous 2000 years or it would have needed an additional 400 pages. It would be great if you could stick with the facts presented IN the article and not skirt around other passages and periods of history, and instead save those discussions for future articles when those areas are actually addressed. Everything in the article is specifically addressing the question at the beginning, yet you accuse Oxford of not being relevant to the topic, when in fact it is you who are not addressing the facts presented. To go one step further, since it is the original meaning that we are all after, why don’t you see value in tracking the way it has been translated throughout the past 2000 years? Such a study gives us incredibly valuable information. Unfortunately many Christians today are so lazy that they go to BDAG and think it is 100% accurate - this shows a lack of scholarship and understanding on how culture and history need to be included in translation. Many modern commentaries and Bible resources have allowed the culture, personal bias, and anachronistic thinking to enter the room when being written. If you spend time studying the process of how commentaries and Bible dictionaries are written then you would learn that most are created AFTER the translation comes out and not before - meaning that the commentaries and dictionaries are influenced by the Bible translation and not the other way around. So if a Bible translation got something wrong, then that mistake is carried into the commentaries/dictionaries. 4. I found it hypocritical when you accused Ed Oxford of using a modern day understanding of knabenshander (even though he utilized highly knowledgeable German researchers), yet then you brag about going to your modern Oxford Dictionary to determine the meaning of a very ancient word - pederasty. To understand pederasty in the ancient world, most scholars would not recommend the Oxford Dictionary. If you are serious about this topic then I would encourage you to be consistent with the way you approach resources. 5. You continue to say that “words change meaning over time”, and that is actually one of the points that appeared to be made in the article. Arsenokoitai has been translated as “masturbaters”, “boy molesters”, “abusers of others”, “abusers of themselves”, “people who use sex to get things”, “prostitutes”, “people who use prostitutes”, as well as “homosexuals”. For you to discard two thousand years of information is very ridiculous and not very scholarly. 6. On multiple occasions you say that the article glosses over Old Testament passages, Romans, etc. And again, it appeared to be a short article that could in no way cover such a broad topic without turning it into a book. I don’t understand why you have a difficult time dealing with the facts presented in the article. I am part of a group of straight pastors, seminary professors, parents, and church leaders who are asking a very important question: WHY IS THE SUICIDE RATE OF LGBTQ KIDS SO HIGH? In truth, LGBTQ kids have a high suicide rate, but if a kid comes from a Christian home that already high suicide rate goes even higher - EIGHT TIMES HIGHER. And this suicide dilemma did not come about until the last century when Bible translations were changed and ultimately weaponized. We have seen more teen and young adult suicides in the past few decades than in all of history. I did a deep dive looking for facts, not trying to prove one side over the other. I changed my mind because the evidence is overwhelming! You seem to be making the same mistake that many of us made for years - we started with the assumption that all same-sex activity is sinful and applied this (misguided) preconceived narrative into all passages we studied. But no book has yet proven that the Bible says all same-sex activity is sinful. All non-affirming books assume this without proving it. Mistakes are made when verses are taken out of historical and cultural context. Since you have attended Talbot I am wondering if you studied Greek and Hebrew? If so, I would encourage you to use your tools to seek the truth - regardless of what it reveals. You made an admonishment against false teaching - and that is why I implore you to do your due diligence on this topic. I am very familiar with your work, and by that I can tell that you have only scratched the surface. Becket, I think you have a kind heart and incredible love for Jesus - and I tell this to people all the time. But I think you are wrong on this topic and will cause horrible damage if you continue to propagate such harmful, inaccurate, misguided theology. God bless you.

Not from the gospels but read the book of Jude. It’s super short and addresses homosexuality. My father is in a “progressive” church. The rest of us are Pentecostal. Melissa Dougherty did an interview with a former lesbian friend of hers and SHE sums it up beautifully, “to people who say “I’m born this way”, I say Yes,, that’s why Jesus says we must be born again”. Your mum sounds like she’s been caught up in the “Jesus words only” movement, my own mum had an experience with that many years ago. She said it was a terrible time in her life and really threw her faith into chaos. Glory to God she realized the error of of the teaching and walked away. Praying with you 🙏

The understanding that certain men have innate capacity for attraction to and intimate relationship with men instead of women (and equivalently for women) was unknown in the ancient world. As such you will not find any reference to homoxesuality in any document before the late 19th cent including the Bible. There are a tiny handful of references to males having secs with males in the Bible, but none of them say that a loving relationship based on mutual attraction is a sin. The false teaching that it is a sin has caused incredible harm and destruction to people's faith, families and lives. Children have died. This has to stop. Genesis says explains why men and women get married. Jesus said it should be treated as permanent. Neither say that a man must ONLY marry a woman, or that it's a sin to marry another man. The exact same reasons for marriage given in Gen 2 apply seamlessly to same-secs marriage with no contradiction to the text. People such as your mother who have been fed a misinterpretation of scripture have nonetheless put Jesus' command to love one another (John 13.34) even before what they have been led to believe is a command of scripture. This too is consistent with Jesus' teaching (Mat 12.1-14). After all, it's possible to misunderstand or misapply scripture, but never wrong to love your neighbour, do good and avoid harm. Hope this helps.

Oh my heart breaks for you in your circumstances. Since your son is a believer you said, can you talk to him and say something along the lines of, "You believe in God, right? Which means you long for truth, since God is truth, right?" Hopefully he will say yes, and if so, you could continue, "Well, part of knowing the truth is flushing it out and hearing all sides... everything, and not just what we want to hear. Can I ask you to please listen to this man, Becket Cook's, testimony on this subject, so that you make a fully informed decision on this subject?" (or purchase and ask him to read Becket's book) And you can also ALWAYS say, "You know that I love you, right? I love you with all my heart, and part of MY job in loving you as your parent is to always be honest with you and guide you. Especially in the things you may not like or want to hear. Because we've ALL been there because that's our human sinful nature, right?" (again bringing it back to his faith in God) "If I didn't love you, your whole life I would have let you do whatever you wanted (stick your hand on a hot stove burner when you were young, slap your siblings when you didn't get your way, handed you some drugs as you headed out the door to hang out with your friends as a teenager, etc.), but I loved you enough to do the right thing and say "no" to things that weren't good for you or honor God, taking the risk of having you be angry with me. Because son, that's REAL LOVE. It's sacrificial, like Jesus." You and your son are in my prayers. Stay strong in your faith.

If you can't love your child because it's gay, or has différent beliefs... Don't have children.

🙏🏻

@@noirchien2622 Wow! Thank you! I am doing EVERYTHING that you have said! I just finished a 40 day fast (the Daniel fast with some full fasts within it) and my brother whom I also was praying for accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior on my last day of the fast! 🙌 I’m also praying for my daughters friends to be saved and if they will only continue to be a negative influence in her life for God to move them out. I’m also praying for her future husband to hopefully already be a Spirit filled mature Christian who will be able to be the Spiritual leader for her and their family. And I’m praying that they meet soon! But thank you so much for listening to what the Holy Spirit put on your heart to reply to me. It is definitely a conformation and uplifting to get a word from God that “Hey! I’ve heard your prayers and I’m working on it!” 🥰🙌 Thank you again! Is there anything that you would like prayer for? I would love to do that for you 🙏🏻

@hmniym thank you so much! I have and I will keep my faith and hope strong in the Lord! My daughter has yet to watch any of Becket’s videos with me and still gets upset when the subject is brought up in church about it being a sin. One thing that surprises me about her clinging onto this so tightly and yet she knows well the story I’ve told her several times that really happened when she was about 8 years old. I was cleaning in my living room and she came in and asked “Hey Mom, what is gay?” So I explained to her by using a table lamp near me and unplugged it and said that “it’s two men or two women who want to be together. But God didn’t create us to be that way.” I told her that the lamp and plug are like men and asked her “If I took two lamps and put the plugs together would they light up?”, she replied “no” and explained that the outlet on the wall was like a woman and asked her “do you think two outlets together would get a reaction?”. Again she said “no” and so I told her that “two married people like me (the outlet) and your Dad (the lamp) plug into each other and produce light and you are like the light, together they create life and that’s one of God’s purposes for us” So she smiled and said “Okay!” And skips away. Just as she did I peripherally saw and heard the chandelier to my right moving and as I looked directly at it I saw a creamed colored, mangy and shaggy, sharped toothed, red eyed monkey jump from the chandelier to the wall right next to me and it hissed at me then disappeared into the wall (and I guess out of the house). It was a demon. I calmly walked down stairs to talk to my mother who was visiting and said to her “ I just saw the weirdest thing…” she yelled “A MONKEY!!!” I was like “How did you know!? Did you see it too!?” She said “No, just as you said that an image of a monkey popped into my head!”. So I told her what happened and we’ve known all this time that this was something that the enemy was going to try and put on my daughter. So I’ve been praying for many many years, and I’ve had many many conversations with her to teach her God’s will and the truth about it all, but here we are today. I’m taking faith though that this is part of her journey and will end up being a big part of her future testimony. I’m taking faith that because I have trained my child in the way she should go and when she is old she will not turn from it! Proverbs 22:7 I’m just praying and hoping that she doesn’t wait until she is really old 😓 But thank you again and any prayers that you might could say for my daughter would be greatly appreciated as well! Her name is Ali (pronounced Alley). Thank you and God bless you!

@hmniym yes they are! And thank you! 🥰 Yes, actually she is. I’m not really sure what shows or characters but I know she is interested in it.

@@crystalbigelow7515 Hi Crystal, I have abstained from same-sex practices for 24 years. Yet, inwardly I think of myself as gay. If you would, pray that the LORD'S love transforms my sense of identity.

Holy Spirit gave me the same conviction as a young lady sleeping with her boyfriend. When I first ever heard the work fornication I knew it was wrong. I knew it was sin and I was convicted. I didn’t walk a holy line from them on. I still fell again, but after receiving Christ God did bring me a Christian husband and we have been faithfully married for over 17 years now. There is no deeper love than that of a fully committed husband and wife as God intended. Thankful for His grace and mercy. Everyone needs his salvation.

I know!! Why does Becket propagate such inaccurate theology? The sin of homophobia has a stronghold on many Christians! God bless you.

@@mountainguy7762 so are your saying Becket is teaching false doctrine?

@@daveyboy6985 yes, on this topic Becket’s opinion cannot be supported by an accurate understanding of Scripture.

So you don't think homosexuality is a sin ?

@daveyboy6985 I think mountainguy is saying that the judgment of "Christians" have brought so much pain to the LGBTQ ppl and you guys don't even see that your actions are sinful in itself. It's very hypocritical of "Christians" to say that they preach the Gospel out of love, yet they spread hate to anyone who doesn't believe in what they believe. It's a hypocritical statement of Becket saying that a certain "word probably doesn't mean the same thing that it used to mean?" So that's considered a red flag? Wow, you can easily say that about the Bible as a whole. The issue that most ppl don't understand is that when reading the Bible, you're taught interpretation and application. In the year 2023, it is hard for ppl to interpret and apply the teachings of the Bible to their life bc our world is constantly evolving. It is difficult to relate the teachings of the bible to our modern society. That is why The Bible is simply Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. Its just instructions for how to be a better human. The Bible is filled with metaphors and symbolism. Many stories with strong messages that we're supposed to learn from and apply to our walk with God. I believe it was never meant for us to take literally. Most ppl pick and choose what to believe to protect and maintain their own comfort levels. And the fact that "Christians" never want you to challenge them and ask them tough questions is a red flag. The fact that the Bible is preached thru fear and not love, is a red flag. The fact that so many scandals and pedophilia was birthed from the church is a red flag. The fact that the Bible has been translated so many times over that nobody can really tell us the original words of the Bible, is a red flag. Christians need to open their mind to other possibilities. They are too afraid of the unknown. Living in fear is a sin itself bc you're not putting your faith in God and trusting Him to lead you to the truth. If you think you know all the answers then you'll never learn anything or grow in your faith. Be open to conversation and challenges, debates, discussions. If you're closed off and defensive, it will just be another red flag. Love is love and God is love. ❤️

But his type of teaching leads to despair and death.
