Jesus loves you. If you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the 3rd day according to the scriptures, you are saved. Jesus never stops loving you because everyone falls short of His Glory every day. Jesus gave us eternal life when we believed so we are God's children forever. It's not about what we do, it's what Jesus did for us. He saved us. He willingly gave His life so we can live. We have so much to be thankful for. Praise Jesus.

Saint Augustine writes in his Confessions, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” My daily experience. When I backtrack my restlessness, quite often I come to the conclusion that I am far away from God. Usually I can label this far away place as pride. But I have tasted the peace only God can give. I kind of sense His goodness and mercy. So, although it is a daily battle, coming back over and over again is what I hope to do until He takes me home.

Thank you to both for being brave enough to have such conversations amongst such fear and hate ❤

Can you be gay an a Christian? No

We're the same age and both would have been coming out around the same time. We're definitely living different lives now. I agree with and follow church teachings on sexuality. But I'm really happy for you that you aren't giving up on God. Keep cultivating that relationship. God finds us where we are and can work in our lives in ways we don't expect. I think the temptation of Christians is to say that if a person isn't where they think they should be then they can't have a real relationship with Jesus. But I know that in my own life, no matter where I've been, God was working in my life and paving a way been to Him. I disagree with some of the conclusions you're at now, but I can really relate to what you're experiencing and I'm happy for you having that relationship you have now.

Wonderful video Mel!!

Amazing testimony, thank you for sharing your truth ❤🙏🏻

This convo sounds like a couple of kids rediscovering things which were too obvious to say two generations ago. Pity, that adults lost the confidence to imbue their children with the gains of the past back, in 1970.

Love you and your journey. Thanks for coming so vulnerably yet again ❤

Thanks for sharing your journey! I loved hearing about your experience with God and the real wrestling you've gone through with him. It was interesting to hear that in your cultural Christian environment, drinking alcohol was strongly condemned. In a lot of Muslim majority countries, it is Christians who are known for their religion allowing them to drink. Since Jesus turned water into wine, and alcohol is not forbidden anywhere in the Bible, it is a bit strange that some Christian groups have adopted that prohibition. Great story! Thanks for getting it out there!

I'm happy for you and your journey

I truly ssy to you. My father is more than what is todd in a building. My father never turned his back on people except religious people. Now i dont know you personally, but i see you have gone through something that was like s truman that matk your life? My father loves you. And so do i.

This guy is misgendering his friend. he spreads misinformation about trans people.

You see, this is where im different from him gender is biological, and he's just a man who doesn't go by gender social constructs kinda like i do. Like you have got to be joking, my dude. 😂

The best kind of Christian is a non christian

I heard from wise people of the Church how to discern what is what or in this case who is who. Idols you mentioned, Melody, and thousands more, would not bring deep peace and sense of direction. That is my own experience and my little looking around I am sharing here. Coming back to the wisdom of the Church, deep peace is one of the signs that we have discerned well. Deep peace is different than a temporary satisfaction and calm. I recognise Jesus by the peace that world cannot give me. Once you have experienced it, you know that you know that you know. It does not come cheap. But is worth it. May Good God bless you and keep you, Melody.

The church IS inclusive to ALL sinners because nobody is sinless. However, we're not supposed to live in blatant sin. God's design for humanity does not include homosexuality and the bible makes that clear. If church bends the rules and says it's okay, they're a false church. If God forgives you but you refuse to change and turn from sin it's very disrespectful to God.

You have been misled. You cannot continue in sin and be a Christian.

Great video! I love what Matthew says about worldviews and that we all have to choose one.

100% homosexual , only attracted to straight people these are the only one that will never regret it or less likely Jr you don't are that . Don't do it

To those throwing one or more of the clobber passages around I’d suggest you look into the scholarship that comes to a different conclusion than that of the traditionalists. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean you are on the right side of history. The preachers who defended slavery based on scripture sure weren’t.

Wait! That’s not correct N.T wright nor Tim Mackie of the bible project are biblical scholars and they do not agree with the position of same-sex marriage or relationships being OK. What are you doing with biblical scholars like that to disagree with your position?

Actually, the logic points to his existence. The fact that all his disciples chose to die defending his resurrection, not very pleasent deaths. Multiple history writers metioned him. The church was persecuted from its very begining and even with that difficulties continued to grow. Obviously, in ancient times, people were not stupid, you had to do some crazy miracles to make them change gods... witch they did. There have been much more miracles all over the history. So many people has expierience the grace of god, its beyond understanding. And the list could continue for ever... The actual point is. God exists, he chose to make himself as one of us to experience human life, carried with all of our sins, as he is just and by his law sin made you die. and its such a good awesome loving god, that having done everything for us, lets you choose to believe in him or not. And will die again just for you! 🤯

The peak shift effect is when an exaggerated version of a stimulus (apple versus bigger apple) is preferred over the original stimulus. This is what makeup exemplifies. It's a mating strategy to deceive men. No, women are not born with makeup, but they are born with the desire to compete with other women for men.

Bro has autogynephilia.

We have to choose to believe. We're saved by faith alone but we must choose to believe for that faith to be there. Doubting and confessing that doint aloud is really dangerous. In love, the right thing to do would be to not ever choose to doubt and definitely to never vocalize it and certainly not publicly. I dont see how biblically one could possibly be saved and do this. I think the Bible makes is clear there's no salvation outside black and while faith, blind faith. I csre about you btw ❤

I think I see what you mean on this one. We tend to focus on external behaviors when there is a deeper problem at hand. In Christian evangelism, much of the time people focus on behavior or "sin management" rather than actually focusing on people's hearts being transformed for Christ to be the guide in their life. To me it feels like putting the cart before the horse. Also, did you happen to speak at the re-voice conference? If so, I saw some clips on YT and thought you did a fantastic job speaking there. If not, I probably sound like a crazy person.

I appreciate your honesty and processing. I am a Christian, so I'm already in the same camp as you, but the way you talked about making things gods and how Jesus helped was very potent for me to hear.

Hi Melody!!!!! I met you at the Reformation Project conference! So awesome to run into you on RUclips!

Your existence as a gay person is not a sin. The sin is to live a life of homosexual activities and immoral behaviour. The same goes for straight people and pornography, prostitution and adultery. We're all dealing with feelings and desires and that's okay, but it is not okay to try to change the Word of God so you can justify acting upon your immoral desires. And no, this is not about "love". So many diabolical and messed up things coming from the queerdo community that are definitely NOT "love".

I just searched word craziness in the new testament in my native language translation and made literal translation of all those passages to English. Because word about the cross is craziness to those who are way to damnation, but for us who are saved it's the power of God. 1.cor 1:18 We on the other hand preach crucified Christ who is offense to Jews and craziness to gentiles. 1.cor 1:23 But natural human do not receive what belongs to spirit of God, because it's craziness to him, and he cannot understand it because it has to be studied spiritually. 1cor2:14 Because this worlds wisdom is craziness in the eyes of God. Because it's been written: " He imprisons wise to their into their cunningness." 1. cor 3:19 Yeah. We're all crazy in the eyes of the world, but it's better to be crazy in the eyes of the world than being crazy in the eyes of the Lord.

He is right about today's Pentacostal, 10 percent tithe demanding, megachurch TV churches and the like. ALOT is wrong with American (me-centered) worship. But he is throwing out the baby with the bath water. The Bible IS God's Inerrant Word. You can't read it critically and as fast as he said he did and expect to understand it. You also cant base your opinion on popular Western opinion, either, like he said he listened to.The world will always hate God's Word.

We pretty much have the same story

The best way to strenghten your faith is to read the bible and pray everyday. Then you will grow, grow, grow~ For example if you want to know someone better what do you do? You talk to them, interact with them, spend time with them. It's exactly the same with getting to know Jesus through prayer and reading the bible. Joining a Christian cellgroup is also a great way to grow your relationship with Christ, because you can interact with people who have been Christians for much longer and can better answer your questions :D

You can't say you believe something if you doubt that it could be true.

You don't have to be in this state, Melody. For God has said, "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).

It is very possible that Jesus, the person, is not in fact real. Historians and theologians have shown that many of the tales and motifs of the New Testament existed in other texts, before the time of Christ, and it is very likely that the story of Jesus was crafted from these pre-existing stories. HOWEVER, that does not mean there is any problem with being a Christian, loving Jesus, and living a pious life. Christianity is a religion that aims to spread love, faith, and peace in the minds of its followers and the world at large, in order to make a flourishing civilization possible, and that is a beautiful and virtuous thing. I am not a Christian, not even religious at all, but I am descended from a line of Episcopalian ministers (my grandfather, my great grandfather, my great great grandfather, and my great great great grandfather), and so I have a deep and abiding respect for religious folk of all kinds, creeds, and sects, so long as they share in the basic humanistic values of love for all other humans, respect for their rights and freedom, and a striving for peace in the world… and I think all atheists and agnostics should recognize those same virtues (although I of course do not speak for everyone).

I truly say to you that Jesus / Yeshua is real. I have seen Him 2 times and have spoken to him. Also, I can clearly hear his voice guiding me.

If you're crazy, then we're the same brand of crazy! Sin takes our ability to bear fruit - humans like to propagate all sorts of habits and create gods to somehow replace our own shortcomings, which in place takes us further away from the wonderful creation we each were made to be. What if we could be better beings, who are fulfilling our best potential in the likeness of Christ? I, alongside many millions, cannot help but feel convicted that life seems to make more sense this way. Jesus is the only figure in history to have bridged that gap - and my over-intellectualising self has come right back to Jesus, the bridge that God Himself built to have a personal relationship with each individual creation. It appears that our Creator holds you right in His great hands Melody! May you continue to blossom and bear wonderful fruit, that one can only be moved to share in the nourishment that you can offer! Strength be with you as you carry the cross.

This is a very odd video. All I hear is “Jesus COULD be real, I don’t know and I don’t want to look at any proof, but I just have to worship something”. Which I think is a very weird way to look at Jesus. I would suggest you get into apologetics so you can actually prove and defend your faith. Trust me it will help.

Jesus Christ is real but people seek him outside of themselves Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Go within and find Christ he is always home it's just us that are far away seeking things outside of ourselves. Thanks for the video much love!

yes you are crazy. look into a documentary called creating christ if you seek the truth

May I ask you if ur 100% sure that ur going to heaven?

You have free will, but there are moments in life that will make you question whether you even had a choice in the first place. When "following your heart" turns into "whatever earns me the most cash" are you really free to choose? Like that Justin Bieber scandal that just came out with Diddy... He says he's a Christian, but his dream of becoming a popstar made him say yes to gay orgies and being humiliated in tons of ways from a young age. Could he have said "I want to be a popstar, but not like this. I'm going to wait on god and even if it takes 20-30 years, I'm not going to do these horrible things..." ? Yes. He could. But it almost feels stupid to ask him to do that... Any regular person would've thought "You're just jealous I'm about to be super rich and famous... You don't know what's best for me." So there's this running gag of "made you do it." Going on, and it starts mildly with scams and lies, and gets even worse with self degradation and public humiliation... Like pledges in college, but the chrstian version. However, if what created you knew in advance what you're like how could he give you this as a test to pass? Wouldn't he be causing you to sin by proposing things he knows you're succeptible to accept? Or is shaping the world and organizing the turn of events to him more important than how a specific individual fares? Why did he let Judas get tempted to betray him? Why wouldn't he just hang out with his favorite disciple all day that day in order to keep him from betraying him and eventually taking his own life? Either he was hangng out with the cooler ones instead, or he knew that was going to happen and it was a part of the plan.

He is real. He is true. There is a wealth of good apologetics on RUclips here. Build up your faith from the ground, leave no room for crazy

Yes, Im Jesus and I can prove it but If I did I would need you to ne a follower of mine and listen to my teaching although I have to fill you in on a lot of stuff... a lot of stuff you will not like...

He is

I felt like looking in the mirror whilst watching... Am kind of at the same point in my faith right now. <3 <3 <3
