@@user-mv4be1tc2u the point is that sin has absolutely zero relevance. Either ALL sin is wrong or NONE of it is, you don't get to pick when it's convenient
To be fair, they don't believe the Bible is the word of God, merely a book written by men with some good and some bad stuff that they are free to take whatever makes them feel fuzzy today and practice some comforting therapeutic moral diesim.
@@AndyNRU-vid Telling everybody that you know nothing about the word of God without actually saying it. As far as your last question, I already answered that for you in another post. I think I've seen maybe10 of your comments in this section. All your comments are dealing with your last question. Sounds like you have a personal issue with this sin. It's not too late for Jesus to save you out of that sin.
Yes. When we tried to abolish slavery, satan was at work confusing the masses. When we tried to implement diversity programs to give everyone an equal chance to succeed, satan was at work. Satan wants to throw dirt in the eyes of those who try to follow Jesus’ teachings of faith hope love and charity. Seems like the ones who preach Jesus but don’t follow his teachings do satans greatest works. Thankfully, Gods followers are still with him despite your hypocrisy..
@@AndyNRU-vid Romans 1:26 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: 1:27 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. 1Corninthians 6:9 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, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And many more verses against that sin.
@@climbhigher170 might be true, but he believed Christ will forgive our sins if we repent. You can’t celebrate it and set people in leadership in the church who are openly living in sin of any kind….including having a child out of wedlock.
The real tragedy here is that absolute truth exists and cannot be changed. Therefore to deny it is of no benefit to those being lied to. To alter absolute truth is to lie
Yes Jesus Christ loves all people. And yes Jesus did live Hitler too, but Jesus did NOT love the things Hitler did!! And Hitler (God forbid) most likely earned himself a ticket to Hell.(God have mercy on his Soul) So stop getting Jesus's love for all people with the things people do!!
Amen! If Jesus Christ hasn't changed you...Jesus Christ hasn't saved you! 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
@@StevenWaling there are hundreds of ex- LGBQT who have been saved by Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ took them out of that sinful lifestyle. The truth is easy to find if you are willing to stop believing the lies you've been taught.
This is not a lukewarm church, but apostacy. We are witnessing Biblical prophesy coming full circle, that in the end times, we would see apostacy like this, as sexual depravity skyrockets. We are becoming the new Sodom and Gomorrah, the new Babylon, in the world. Pray for one another, and pray for revival!
@@Michael-ig8ne Oh we do cry more, for all those who are spiritually blinded, those who are lost souls, because all those who reject our Lord Jesus Christ and follow false doctrines will find themselves in a place which will cause them to cry out forever, gnashing their teeth, but knowing they deserve to be there. I do not want that for anyone, and I plead every day for the Lord to open the eyes of those lost, that more could be pulled out of the fire before they are consumed.
The are undermining the foundation of those whose foundation can be shaken. Not the foundation of Christianity. If you read your bible you will know the truth. If you prefer the will of your flesh, this is the result.
1 Timothy 3.2 *“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,* vigilant, sober, *of good behavior,* given to hospitality, apt to teach;” 2 Timothy 3.1-5 "This know also, that *in the last days perilous times shall come.* *For men shall be lovers of their own selves,* covetous, boasters, proud, *blasphemers,* disobedient to parents, unthankful, *unholy,* *Without natural affection, trucebreakers,* false accusers, *without self-control,* savage, despisers of those that are good, *traitors,* reckless, conceited, *lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God* *Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."*
After baptism, Sunday School for years and confirmation then years by the score of membership, attendance, committees, teaching, facilitating, leading and bible study, my church did this quite a few years ago and I immediately sent them a FAX announcing my resignation from membership. They didn't even have the decency to acknowledge my letter. Haven't heard a word from them in years and haven't attended services or made a donation since. All this just proves to me that Christianity has become a CULT. I still wonder though if they ever sat down to calculate just HOW MANY members they'd lose compared to how much they may gain with this political folderal.
just as prophetic scripture foretells, the apostate church and false teachers and prophets will abound in the end … a reprobate and debased mind in the lost will prevail … 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexual immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor the habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 NASB
@@jbarahona623pretty sure the comment meant….if you don’t acknowledge and ask God to forgive you and deliver you from sin…all sin by accepting Christ as Savior. If you just celebrate sin, you will be in bondage to it all the way to hell. The devil is here to kill, steal, and destroy as the Bible says, but Christ came to give us eternal life.
@@jbarahona623 Is that your guess? “Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 NASB There is purpose in repentance and power In Christ to fulfill the other side of the list of behaviors.
@dcummings1476 Yes, I concede that honest repentance is the way to salvation and redemption through Christ. However, what I take issue with is that the passage is more often brought up whenever it's concerning homosexuals, forgetting that the church has had pastors or/and priests who have been swindlers, greedy, sexually immoral, adulterers, idolaters (especially orthodox and catholics), verbal abusers, thieves, and habitual drunks. Some have repented and are still allowed to spread the word of the Lord. How are they different from homosexuals who denounce their lifestyle and are only seeking to redeem themselves by spreading the word of the Lord? I completely agree that a homosexual that basks and celebrates his or her lifestyle shouldn't be preaching, but the ones who truly are committed to lead others into salvation and give their testimony to keep away from the homosexual lifestyle and sin, shouldn't pay the price.
@tiffanyjames7150 I understand what it means. It is the way that it is more than often insidiously utilized which I find distasteful and hypocritical, hence the sarcasm. I apologize to all if it came across as disrespectful. I did address the reasoning behind why I said this in my reply to the OP.
oh people be careful of the laws of God. lesbian and homosexuality have no place in God laws.there are forbidden by God Almighty.how can You follow someone who are openly defying the laws of God
The Bible is not clear, its meaning is up to interpretation. There are scholars who spend their lives trying to figure it out and most can’t agree either. They argue about this very topic. People will say that this is sin, but they don’t know that for certain, they have to have “faith” that what they believe is true. Their priests could easily be lying to them and making them sin. Of course there is no mercy for misinterpretation, if you sin, you go to hell. Forever. Or do you? You have no idea.
Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. In other words, don't live in a hate-filled bubble. If you don't like someone, or can't handle them, leave them alone.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 New Living Translation (NLT) For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
i believe in a god an an all powerful somewhat deity but i don't believe the bibles interpretation of him because it was written by man about 2000 to 3000 years ago as well as tge stories in them when we should all be aware that the earth is very very much older than that and we have proof of it being much older than that from the soil in certain places in the world to animal bones to even the very first human bones and even plants and fossil's we find so honestly the math ain't mathing at all
KAREN!! How can you sleep at night.. You are in the spot light.. You bring and help save people by Gods word...Period...... KAREN show me where in the bible says this is ok... You WON'T......
God is infallible. God does not need our help. Many call upon us to hate our neighbors as enemies. Only one calls upon us to love our enemies as ourselves.
@benevolencia4203- “God does not need our help” but He did leave instructions. Mathew 28: 18-20 NASB [18]“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. [19]”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, [20]teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” “The laborers are few” Matthew 9:37
@@dcummings1476 responding to your comment. As you say… We are instructed to practice, and teach others these things by our example, not mandate them by secular government upon our neighbors. We are to proclaim salvation, not preach damnation. When I bear witness for Jesus Christ I share good news of redemption, not utterances of cursed damnation.
@@benevolencia4203 cursed damnation is the part of truth that you must include, as Christ died to keep you from it….if you believe on Him and turn from your sin. Ignoring it is sending people to hell. Christ is the way, the truth, the life. You must tell truth.
This is good for those LGBT Christians who want to belong however, Bigoted congregations across the USA have split from the UMC and formed their own anti-LGBT denomination. As a gay man confirmed in the UMC at age 16, I stopped attending in 1988 due to the attitude of the clergy and members against my sexuality. Now, the two UMC that were in my Indiana rural suburb have both left the UMC including the former UMC I was confirmed in. I did remain a Christian after being rejected by my church for 30yrs. However. Due to the consistent bigot attitudes of Christians against Gays I no longer believe in God or in Christianity. I found myself unable to keep faith in God with the hatred shown by Christian organizations, it's institutions, and it's followers who use God as a platform and foundation to hate people like myself and further condemn me to hell for eternity. I've been shown by example, no reason to desire to be part of that ideology or religion and belief in God included. 😢
Christ is not them….He is still loving you. Don’t let humans, this world, a church, Satan get between you and Jesus. Don’t let them rob you of freedom from all sin, hate, bondage, hurt, and your healing, forgiveness, peace, joy in Christ. Talk to Jesus, He never left you.
God is infallible. God does not need our help. Many call upon us to hate our neighbors as enemies. Only one calls upon us to love our enemies as ourselves.
Being brown and being gay are completely different. When I found Jesus Christ, He took my gayness away, but I'm still brown. God made people of all colors, but not sexual orientations (that comes from satan).
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God created different “races” of humans. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God created different “sexual orientations”… nowhere. God made them male and female- Genesis 5:2 Different “races” of people as we know them today came through the flesh of sons of Noah and their wives. Different “sexual orientations” came through the flesh, and the MISTAKES of mankind by being disobedient to Gods design, purpose, plan of a union and a covenant between a man and a woman and his warnings against sexual immorality and homosexuality. God did not make a mistake, mankind has by giving in to the lusts of the flesh. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 NASB. These will be no part in the kingdom of God. They need TRUTH, REPENTANCE, DELIVERANCE, and the POWER OF GOD in their lives. Homosexuality came through the Flesh through the mistakes of mankind.
They are hurting people. And no, they are not good. The Bible says that no one is good but God. Sin looses demons. Demons cause death. They ARE hurting people! God bless you❤
Luke 6:31. It's a good day when we put our bigotry and biases and small petty hate aside to share God's love as a family. Matthew 7:12 - Literally the core tenets of Christ's message. A damned good day for the church.
Love the way you referenced a Bible verse and cuss word in this comment. So sorry….you are not telling that to God…church is not Him. Talk to Him about your comment and see if you get a warm fuzzy from Him.
As far as Christianity has gotten from the teachings of the Messiah, it’s nice to see a Church returning to love, instead of preaching hellfire judgement and gnashing of teeth.
Judging by the majority of the comments here, yes, it seems they do wish to return to puritanism. They keep citing Corinthians as if, the majority of Christians are living the hard core old testament style, when they aren't.
Shovel-om7kn- Jesus Christ was the one that preached hellfire, weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mathew 8:12, 13:42-50, 22:13, 24:51, 25:30). Is it really “far from the teachings of the Messiah”? In fact, Jesus taught of hell and the consequences of sin more that any one else anywhere in the entire Bible. Love without TRUTH is not love. It is deception, and Jesus knew it and taught it.
@dcummings1476 He did. However, Jesus's main focus was salvation and to redeem sinners, not shunning them away at every turn with constant threats of eternal damnation. People today are so hellbent on hating the sin along with the sinner, when it is the total opposite of what Christ teaches. Why instead of citing Corinthians, you didn't start by citing John 3:3 on your previous post, which is also the truth? With all due respect, the way you have commented gives the impression that you are a very unwelcoming judgemental Christian, which is very unchrist-like. If you do enjoy reminding people of hellfire constantly, then why not revive puritanism? This is why many people turn away from the faith, because of the hypocrisy of certain members within the church that like to cherry pick and weaponize Bible quotes whenever it suits them, verbally abusing others by citing Bible verses to justify many things and veil their disgust for other people. Yes, Paul the Apostle was very on point on what he said. That being said, may I remind you, since you previously cited Corinthians to let people know your stance on the issue of this video, that not only homosexuals whom do not repent will not inherit the Kingdom of God, but also verbal abusers as well. God bless and I will pray for you so that Christ can take away whatever darkness remains in your heart.
Jbarahona623- I am truly sorry if you have had previous encounters with others that misuse scripture, or have hate in their heart towards others. That being said, to answer your question. “Why didn’t I quote John 3:3 in my original comment?” The reason is as I read through the 70 or so comments at that point from the publishing of the video no-one had posted it or referenced it throughout the entire comment thread. There was a lot of “I feel this way, and I feel that way” but no Bible. So… I contributed a verse. I added nothing to the verse and took nothing from the verse. I added nothing to the thread till your reply to me. The answer to your next question… “ if you do I like constantly preaching hell fire and damnation” ? No. No I do not. But it is a part of Christs ministry that should not be overlooked. Again, I am sorry if you have been offended by people with hate in their hearts misusing scripture. I stand on Christ the solid rock in my comments. I stand on His words (I Timothy 6:3) I stand on the recordings of His apostles. I thank you for your prayers and I will pray for you, that the Lord reveal any judgement, preconceptions or misconceptions you may hold over others in your encounters. I have seen the church, and those that claim “God” -in their sin- ( and various, not only homosexuality. But this video posting is centered around homosexuality) I have seen this pride openly displayed. An open covenant with sin cloaked in the “love of God” God is Love. Yes. But Jesus said. “I am the way, the TRUTH and the life” and “no man cometh to the Father, but by Me. Love without Truth is not love. It is deception.
