Hello!
I am Christian and bisexual. A passion of mine is to be able to help those that are in similar situations. Or anyone struggling with accepting themselves. Overall, I want people to see that they aren't alone.

The Journey

Life is complicated. It's difficult to know where to go and what to think. It's even more difficult when people are trying to tell you what you SHOULD think. Enjoy life, enjoy the journey you are on. Even though you may not understand this world and everything in it, you will be okay. As always, if you need to talk, I am here to listen.

Chapel- Homosexuality
Просмотров 16910 лет назад
This week there is a chapel speaker that will talk about homosexuality. No clue what it's going to be like. I think all people should listen to others, even if they don't agree with what that person says. Why are those that advocate love so strongly, showing so much hate?
Parents: Go easy on them.

I know coming out is really difficult for a lot of people. But It's also hard on parents when they don't see it coming. Give them some time to figure it out.
Praying the Gay Away
Просмотров 39511 лет назад
My thoughts on people telling me to pray that God will change me. Yes I believe that prayer is something you should do. But I believe Gods Will is most important. Jesus followed God unto his death. But he still asked God if there was another way. Jesus knew how much pain he would go through, but he said "Your will, not mine". And this is how I see being bisexual. God's will, not mine.

Hi! I'm Matthew :) the video pretty much explains it haha but seriously. Feel free to talk to me and email. I would absolutely love to get to know you :) lgbt4christ@att.net
Respect to you. You've shown a lot of courage.
You have the ability to say and share what others want to but cannot. Our prayers can be answered yes, wait, or no. If it is a "no" answer, God's grace is sufficient for the individual. It's obvious that you love God and have a personal relationship with Him. As believers, we are saved, but still imperfect in so many ways. God knows each heart. Thank you for your honesty and dealing realistically with a difficult situation. May God richly bless your life. You are a very effective communicator.
Excellent presentation. Every person that has a personal relationship with God, and that is a choice, struggles with something. We are still imperfect people. God knows that. And despite all of our imperfections and unique characteristics, He loves us so much. It is so difficult for people to understand that each person is unique. We as Christians have an obligation to love God with all of our hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves. What you have shared will help many in the church that struggle with sexual identity and also many people who are not faith based, but deal with this stigma moment by moment. May God bless you. This video has been very powerful!
I want you to know that we are created equal in the eyes of God‘s will and God does not care if you happen to be gay or not or shouldn’t matter to him when you are is who you are and God does not really care at all straight or homosexual national matter to him or not it’s a lot like equality to all of us but you should know I am no different than you are and you are not different than me and when God is our eternal father there in heaven him and you should know that I do not believe in preaching hellfire and damnation and condemnation on others because I just don’t believe in it at all In the words of Jesus Christ if you would tell you well done well done my good and faithful servant you can come home now and he will also I’ll say to you do not fear for I am with you every day until the end of time There is no need to worry about it now because you should focus on God and prayer and meditation and putting your mind on God‘s word and you should be mindful of your thoughts or they will betray you yeah I know it might sound like Star Wars lingo so you have nothing to worry about nothing at all to be worried about
I want you to know that I just don’t want to point fingers in peoples face and same being gay or being an atheist that you’re going to hell just because you’re insane and it’s wrong in my eyes to say that because people would do the same to me and I don’t want to preach hellfire and damnation and condemnation on others because I can’t do it I just don’t believe in washing condemnation on others in my life that is a sin the Bible speaks of us where is says someplace in there I just don’t believe in hellfire and brownstone and hell and condemnation on the next person and I just don’t go that route you can rest and the fact that we are unique and all of us is created equal in the eyes of God because this is the United States of America we cannot be forceful or rude Prejean hell fire and damnation and condemnation on others because it’s wrong those days is over because those back is a pioneer Thimes and we don’t have those kinds of churches anymore we ever route we grow human evolution is still the same when you look at it from the biblical part of you and our society and our civilization our technology is somewhat different now with our technology And you should know is this you should not have to live in fear dress for being gay God does not care about that what you should do is focus on prayer and meditation on God‘s word and you know what he would say to you he will say is this to you Fear not for I am with you until the end of time And we’re all done my good and faithful servant‘s And he will welcome you home God does not care if you are gay or not as long as you have faith in him and obey his commandments as long as you can do that I am sure that he can overlook your sins and forgive them When he is our for our father in heaven
Repent of sexual immoral behavior and believe the Gospel
I want you to know that I can agree and disagree so you should know that I actually do agree with you about this because there is people that just can’t agree on everything and I want you to know that is what I got from your video. And I want you to know that there is people out there that is going to disagree to I can agree and disagree with one person‘s opinion about God or the nonexistent of God and if you want to cover on that you’re free to do that if you want? But the truth is nobody is going to agree on the doctrine same thing for those of us they have us to be Christians and there’s also ACS out there that just can’t agree or go with the times with those of us that is Christians And I know that there is people that will debate and argue about certain topics regarding about God and religion same thing with your video here I want you to know that. Most people like me that can’t agree to disagree with one another but always arguing and fighting and debating nobody is going to get anywhere. So I want you to know that your right to me just kind of a video I don’t support gay marriage is not a hunter percent because God has honor the contract see I can say I disagree with morons because it’s all right for a man and a woman and a guy and a guy or a woman with a woman marriage so as for mirrors goes Jesus Christ has taking down the old laws in today. It is very legal for someone who is gay has their rights and privilege to have marriage with one another But ask for me I am not someone that will be closed minded and go on a witchhunt for people that is gay and say that they’re going to hell just for being themselves. I’m not going to take a Hayfork and hunt you down or hunt people that it is you know gay enforced beliefs and religion on someone and say that they need to repent other sinful ways And force someone to believe different that is in fact being forceful and wrong in my eyes because now that I can say it that I am one too. So you see the dilemma here that there’s people out there that can except people for who they are and there’s less people that just can’t like extremist Christians and I am not like that although that I happen to be I have it to be a biblical liberal list and a Christian and conservative one at that too so I’m open to other believes that it’s out there same thing for people who is not straight that must be gay so what I am not gonna take a pitchfork and have a a witchhunt on those dabs to be gay and that is wrong if you want to talk about this you’re free to make a video about it because I like to hear what you have to say about my comment
I want you to know that you should have been more faith in yourself and you should keep the faith in God and pray and meditate on God‘s word and trust in Jesus Christ I happen to be a biblical liberalist and don’t let people tell you otherwise. You should believe in your self and keep the faith don’t be what everybody else is telling you to be and that is wrong in my eyes in this video was moving enough for me to give you this comment. Don’t be what people want you to be you just be you and God loves you for who you are now for people wanting you to be what they want you to be that’s not how it works
How are you doing 7 yrs later? Things better with your mom and dad? Your older sister? I hope that the years have made you even stronger and happier as you grew into adulthood. Catch us up!
THANKS FOR SHARING!!
it's so awesome that you can feel it for a whole 45 minutes to an hour!
Giving up his sexuality to appease his bigoted friends. Awesome!
I want you to know that you are not alone in this at all I felt the same way to the depression the anxiety of it and the power of prayer keeps me going to hold to my faith but I also want you to know that you’re not broken and you are is who you are as long as you except yourself a lot of good well follow you rest of the days of your life always keep the faith and put your trust in Christ and never lose heart And I don’t see why you’re not ugly I see a handsome guy that makes a video like this
Religion poisons everything. How you regard yourself is evidence of this.
Your videos have really touched me, Jonathan. I sure hope you will post more often....that would give me something to look forward to. Hope your life is going well. Happy Easter! I would love to hear from you sometime.
I know that exact feeling! It’s amazing, embrace it when it happens! Remember that God loves all his children! Praying for you in the part of your life your in! Gods love is amazing amen!
my name is Matthew
I am CHristian as well as bisexual too, and we're not as uncommon as you may think. Just remember this: God is the one who designed us, and made this part of us, to broaden us as individuals, to open our heaarts to whatever He has in store, and to teach all of us as a whole about HIS unconditional, unending LOVE.
im bi and Christian too
god bless you!
Hi Jonathan just came out 3 weeks ago. I am a Christian the church i go to they believe that it is a choice and it's not a choice it has taken me a long time to accept it. can we talk thank you for the video Willie
Glad you're back! You should get an Instagram channel that way you can do videos on the go!
I'm glad that you're back! I started watching your RUclips videos over two years ago, and you helped me get over this societal separation between my faith and my sexuality. I always knew that I was gay or at least different from the rest of the guys that I knew. Even after I started to come out in 7th or 8th grade I didn't know how God felt about me. I was depressed and I cried and prayed that God would change my feelings for guys. My feelings never changed, and your videos let me know that it was okay to be different. You let me know that God still loves me. I am a sophomore in college now, and I'm excited for what the future will bring. My family isn't necessarily on board with my "sexual revolution," but I know that they still love me, and honestly, that's all that really matters. Thank you for everything, and I hope that you enjoy your senior year of college!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm also a Christian who is bisexual and I haven't come out yet but it means so much that you're showing others that they're not alone. And being in the gay community as a Christian can be very difficult. Im so glad you made this video. And side note: I love the background music!
Be proud of who you are!
@Jonathan williams I just saw your coming out story. First i want to say is that im not religious,but dont see nothing wrong in what people believe in. Second im a bi 31 year old man. and happy and proud. you can be religious and bi, i dont believe that a god in general would care what you are , as long as your a good person. and if your looking for a good youtuber to watch you should look up Rj Aguiar he as a channel were he dose ask a bi guy. If there is a god then you are what he made you to be. So embrace who you are and love yourself be the best Bi Christian you can be. God only speaks of love not hate that what i learned when i want to church and try going to some pride events. stay strong
I don't even know what I am. I feel straight, but I have had crushes on guys, I openly compliment beauty or amazing features regardless of their sex. When I was younger I experimented, not really sexually though. I didnt really like either of the guys rn in life I could really care less whether i'm straight or bisexual because I know God loves me and I left that issue in God's hands. If I end up dating a guy that would be a story to tell my future wife besides that Im like meh with my sexuality. I put straight because I question being bisexual whenever I say it. Im weird 😅

God bless you so much!! 😢
Thank you so much for sharing as a bisexual Christian. As I'm coming to terms with this part of myself, I've found a lot more lesbian and gay Christian voices, and very few bisexual ones, but it is a very different place to be. Coming out is a scary prospect, and I'm not there yet, so just knowing others are going through this is hugely helpful. It's difficult to accept a part of yourself that for so long you've been told is wrong; the self-judgement is still a big part of my journey at this point. So thank you!
Singing Menno Are u out now?
I posted this on an older video you made, but I wanted to share my heart with you! Hey, Jonathan! I wish we could sit down and talk!! :) My story is that I was in a gay relationship a very long time ago (26 years ago)!!! I really like your prayer for asking God to do something He wants to do in your life. I want to share with you that the whole meaning of God and who His Son is, How much He loves you, He will truly make a way for you to come and know Him personally! If you would like to talk more, I would be glad to help! I love you, even though I don't know you! The purpose is to find Jesus Christ! He will open your heart more, as you seek Him! Don't worry about being changed; but rather, get to know His Son, Jesus Christ! Thank you for the video!

Might be a weird question but do you have an Instagram ?
Thank you so much for this video. It helped calm me. Told my wife I'm bisexual and she was totally fine with it and we are both Christians. She and I believe Jesus lines me no matter what!
I am 'out' to myself and my family and those closest to me, but don't really know other Christians like myself who is bisexual or 'gay'..... Thanks for the video. I don't suppose you are on Fb?
Yo bro do your parents know???
OMG, I'm really glad to hear you and you just came back in the right time and with the right subject/theme. I really was in need to hear those things you said, it made me feel pretty better after some crazy things I'm passing throw. Please, dont disappear :D
Jonathan it is really nice to see you back. Something is wrong with my computer and I just spent over the past several days about 8 hours trying to fix it. The reason I spent that time was to be able to hear guys like you and your ideas. I am probably nearly three times your age and I agree with every word of what you said. The amazing thing is that you have already learned what it took me decades to understand! We don't need to, in my opinion, try to figure out 'what am I supposed to do' regarding any issue. I believe that we just need to be open to life and let it speak to us. I think we need to be open and to listen. Wisdom, God, the Universe, the grace, whatever we call it, will come to an open heart that listens. Thanks, Jonathan for coming back and talking. You have exemplified here what all teachers are trying to achieve in their students. And because you are unique, thoughtful and open, you now teach us. That is a wonderful thing and I am grateful.
When you pray , you have to believe . You have to act like you are already a heterosexual . You have to walk by the word. I love you and have a blessed day. Don't give up on God , because He won't give up on you . BUILD YOUR FAITH. When you have faith that means you OBEY His words.
I'm 13, and born again Christian. I need help
Debriana Carter ruclips.net/video/UF6Sn37RgTw/видео.html
Hi. I'm 13 a girl and bisexual, I love God I am a Christian, sometimes I feel awkward, I'm scared alone and I do what to do. I'm scared of liking others girls because of what the bible says and how my family says things about homosexuality so I never want to come out, two of my brothers know, some friends at school know and that's it. Seeing my other friends going out with each other and seeming happy, I want to be happy with who I am but I can't. If u can help I would like that. Thank you.
I would be thrilled to talk with you! I'm sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time with it. I true know what that is like.. In the description of this video there is an email you can use to reach me. I also have a facebook and the link is on my youtube profile. Looking forward to hearing from you!
okay thank you, i dont have face book though
Debriana Carter There way be a way to send a message to the youtube inbox. but I'm honestly not entire sure how to do that.
+Debriana Carter I know this reply is like a year late but I just wanna say I understand exactly what you're going through
Debriana Carter ruclips.net/video/UF6Sn37RgTw/видео.html
your awesome and your cute thanks for the video need help coming out
sure thing
Jonathan, as an educator, I applaud you in your honesty and truthfulness in expressing yourself. I share most if not all of your thoughts today. I think Pride Week is an attempt to get things social and moral back into balance after being so out of balance for millennia. As happens in all counter-movements, at this point in time, it may appear to be overdone. But that may be necessary until balance is restored in society and morality. Thanks for your thoughts.
Hey Jonathan, it is really nice to see you back. You look good after your first year of college; tired but good. These are the best years of life for you, yes, even with all the conflicts in your personal and academic life. Try to be good to yourself, take a break from the battles, and be open to all around you. Be nice to yourself, dude!
Yay, im so glad that you're back and with more videos coming too!!
YOUR ADORABLE JONATHAN!!!!!! BE YOU MY LOVE!!!!
ps I am bisexual to.....
Jonathan, cool summary of your chapel talk! On most points of what your speaker talked to you guys about, I am in agreement. I am extremely proud of you that you are open to hear what he had to say; a lot of people have not even at an age that exceeds yours by 50 years, reached your degree of openness. Everything I say now is based on my education and life experience of teaching and counseling thousands of young people. From my viewpoint, I am in the highest agreement with your speaker when he says the relationship with Christ should be the goal of everyone who wants to be Christian. That goal though has NOTHING significant in common with dogma or doctrine. The only time Jesus ever lost his temper or showed scorn was towards those who thought that way [dogmatists and legalists]. There are books written about this, so I need to be brief. My counseling is in the field of alcohol and drug abuse. It is NO wonder that homosexual young people turn to alcohol and drug abuse when they are confronted with the hatred of many organized religions. These religions tend to be very conservative in their theology [study of God]. The Moody Institute has a very conservative approach to theology, much like the Catholic Church in its narrow interpretation. So, Jonathan, as a teacher, counselor, educator, and someone hanging with Jesus, it upsets me when someone [not saying this speaker did this] gets young people to think there may be something bad, sinful, evil, or negative about being homosexual. IHomosexual orientation is morally neutral. This speaker's approach towards all sexuality appears to be negative, another characteristic of conservative Christians. There is NOTHING evil about being heterosexual or homosexual. That idea that sex as sinful goes back to the myth of the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. Way too much to go into here. I was a product of very conservative Catholic teaching for 18 years, all the way through graduate school. It took me that many years afterwards to realize how unbalanced and prejudiced that teaching was. I've taken hundreds of courses in theology and science, sociology, and education; have worked with thousands of young people, and just want to encourage you to think for yourself and as Aristotle taught "Don't believe something just because it is established, believe only the Truth." You, Jonathan, are on the path to do that. As an educator and a fellow traveler with Jesus, I am very proud of you. Your friend.............Ray [If I can be of any help to anyone, I can be reached at: bor1940@hotmail.com
So, Jonathan, this is Wednesday. How did the talk go and did the school provide a speaker that supported the view of homosexuality?
I think it went really well! The speaker is really amazing. He does not support same-sex sexual relationships. I posted a video about him.
Whoa dude...this reminds me of me all the way down to the Christian college gig. I got married to a woman I met there and we're super happy. She knows I'm bisexual and thinks it normal. Best of luck with RUclips--you've got a good message. Cheers!
That's amazing to hear! I am really happy for you :) Thank you!
I am a 30 year old female bisexual. I have always been bisexual; I knew that I was bisexual when I was a kid. I was raised "Christian", and I attended a Christian high school. I read the Bible and I pray, and I sincerely want to be the perfect obedient Christian. Like you, I also love God/Jesus/HolySpirit. I have chosen to be celibate since October 2013. I have remained physically celibate, but sexual thoughts are constantly popping up in my mind. I wish that I could say that I am the idealistic married, monogamous, heterosexual, but I am not. I was married for 4 years, but we had problems and decided to divorce in March of 2009. So, now I also believe that if I get "remarried" it will be adultery in God's eyes. I currently believe that God wants me to remain single and celibate. I spent my teen years and my 20's in fornication, and even though I know it is sinful, I miss that lifestyle. I actually believe that everyone is "bisexual" to some degree. People like you and me, just may be the only truly HONEST Christians around. Lol God bless you, sweetie.
Thank you for your openess :) Wow. I've thought about celibacy many times, I just don't think I have the strength. Your strength is truely amazing, and extreamely encouraging!
Jonathan Williams Thanks for the response.
This definitely defines me!! You should both follow me on instagram I try to share God through my life. Instagram username _don't_be_afraid
