As a homosexual who has spent his entire life chaste, I can say that although I struggle with soul crushing loneliness everyday and feel an immense void in my life without ever having had a romantic partner or even a single romantic interaction with anyone I feel blessed knowing I am on the path God wants me to on. It's been a true struggle to bottle up my feelings and prevent any expression of my romantic desires my entire life when all the straight people around me seem defined by their love life. I experience anger and jealousy as well because of that and have to repent every single day of it.
Hi Miguel, I just want to say how much I admire your strength and self-control - God must really be working in you in your life! I can't imagine what it must be like in that situation, but I recommend that you pray to God for strong Christ-centred friendships in your life, if that is something you currently lack. I will pray for this loneliness and jealousy you experience, that God will be able to satisfy the love your heart aches for. God bless ☺
Anthony Well said, We all struggling to Please God above our selves,it’s this that please God, but ,at the end,we will be in heaven with Him, Not on the other side with the decever of the world,
Many straight couples are lonely after the "love " wears off. Then their true test of love starts. God is blessing you, now. Look for it in the little things and be thankful for it. Acknowledging those little moments is the start of mustard seed faith.
@ Miguel Zayne I admire your spirit and faithfullness to God in this 'pleasure before anything' world. However I am going to burst your bubble a little on the fantastic view of the 'straight people' you think are having a great time of it. As a married family man I can assure you it gets no easier. In fact the great demands of chastity are as much a part of my life as it is for the single person. Perhaps it is a bit worse in some sense. A person who experiences sexual addiction or is hyper-aroused (for lack of a better term); inside of a marriage would be akin to an alcoholic in a free bar (I am not trying to disparage marriage here). The Fall of man has left us struggling in this life no matter what our circumstances may be. Half the battle is being given the Grace to clearly see our major fault; the other half is overcoming it. I know it has taken years, decades, for me to gain some self-control and approach what God has asked of me in the married state. God bless in your struggle and journey.
You're wrong. You're doing the exact opposite pf what God wants. God wants people to be themselves. The Bible doesn't say nor to me gay, at all. That's a misunderstanding. Rejecting your sexuality is an insult to God.
People are not on a quest for truth, they are on a quest for happiness. And therein lie the problem.
Correct.
They haven’t found out that being unconditionally loving and kind to life in all it’s expressions and hungering for the truth of our Creator brings abundant happiness, joyfulness and peace of mind.
Quest of pleasure..
Truee
What's wrong with pursuit of happiness
The trouble is...a deeper “pride” agenda won’t leave the schools alone, won’t leave the churches alone, and won’t leave politics...especially abortion and marriage alone. I left that lifestyle years ago, too, and I am grateful, when I see what the deeper movement really is...downright evil. Yes, Children of God is correct, but it doesn’t stop there. To be a child of God means to fully embrace a behaviour that is not anti-Christ.
Hello how are you doing 👋😀👋😀
Lol I don’t think the gay community is that invested in the abortion debate
I think you are seriously misunderstanding any involvement other people have in societal issues. The things you mention are issues with religious belief systems. Not gay people. If they do pipe up about these issues it will be from a "man has evolved and so has society - grow up" position. Not anti christ. What will turn society against religion - is nonsense like the crap you wrote above.
@@stephencurran2284 yeah we really aren't lmao
actually there is no agenda. as a trans person, all we really want is to be seen as normal people. we just want to be able to exist and vibe with everyone else without being seen as a bad thing. we just want to chill lol
Mother Teresa is a Saint and would never condone sin. She loved the sinner, hated the sin.
so we all must hate the sin of homophobia

I've thoroughly enjoyed your war against the sin of homophobia. My partner was in Divinity school, but left because he felt his mission was in the secular world. He amazes me at how he need only use his wealth of biblical knowledge to turn spurious homophobic pronouncements back on the issuer.
You mean beloved children of God! Absolutely perfect. A reminder that salvation does not come because we are good, it comes because God is good.
Yeah.. maybe.. but God cannot tolerate sin in his presence. Unless you confess and repent and accept Christ as your sin offering, you will have made your freewill decision regarding your eternal destination.
@@barsoom43 Church lets us pray for every soul alive and dead. It would not if it determined any particular person is in hell. ( I was surprised, not even Judas) A prayer at every mass. I believe in purgation, but I have been reading many fine scholars on what is to come, and I have hope.
@@williamfranz6639 Sure, I pray for the dead.. We are immortal creatures, temporarily residing in these carbon based bodies.. In the end, we're going to live forever in one place or the other. God likes when we pray for others and aren't always asking for stuff for ourselves. Hell is for real.. Christ himself said so in the story about the rich man and Lazarus.. The chasm between Hell and Heaven cannot be breached..
I didn't use to believe in purgatory but I found an obscure reference to it.. Christ told the Jewish leaders that the prostitutes and tax collectors would get into Heaven before they would. That implies a wait outside the gates. God is merciful but he is also just.. He allows everyone a freewill decision to accept Christ or not.. Scripture also says he knows a person by their heart.
I don't put much stock in scholars.. My first source is Christ and what he said...Also a primary source is what the Father, the Almighty said, generally in the Old Testament. Next the Acts and the Letters.
@@barsoom43 Actually you would not pray for a damned soul in church. So the inclusion of all souls is actually a statement that the church takes no position that any particular soul is in hell. Also, while we are on the subject, 1 Corinthians 15:22 Christ came so ALL should be alive;
1 Timothy 2:3-6 Christ gave himself as ransom for ALL MEN.
1:JOHN 2:2 ATONING SACRIFICE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.
1 Timothy 4:10 " Savior for ALL PEOPLE , especially to those who believe
Then there is the originally translated Greek word for Epoch, which segregates a purgation from ultimate salvation.
The idea that God intended to save all and ultimately failed is another discussion.
Point is, in the history of the Church, going back to Origen, Gregory of Nyssa( saint) and others, there has always been a question. The 20th century scholar, Balthazar, wrote the controversial book, the AUDACITY OF HOPE." People like Bishop Barron are receptive to Balthazar's arguments. Notice the quote from Timothy says
" all men" then says
" especially" believers. Here , two separate groups is identified. All men cannot only mean believers in plain English.
@@barsoom43 And yet, Jesus often ate with sinners--and most did not become Christians. Hmmmmm....
No catholic wishes a person with same sex attraction to be lonely. I pray that all people struggling with loneliness find beautiful lasting and emotionally intimate friendships. Chastity is difficult in this current age but it’s not impossible.
Heterosexuals can be and are lonely too, even crushing loneliness. Gay or straight, Jesus and Gods love can and will exceed our needs. Do we, as humans long to be loved and accepted? Yes. Will we struggle with loneliness even when we’re following God? Yes. I feel deeply for gays/lesbians that struggle with this, I really do. Whatever we’re called to struggle with, I KNOW a relationship with Him will carry me through.
Nice to read something not full of hate but the Saints didn't suffer from loneliness because they loved Him before all things . St Faustina was ready to suffer 1000 hells for Him...We need to ask for the grace to love Him before all things ! Difficult one but not impossible because with God all things are possible ! We don't love Him enough. ..💚💛❤
I am Catholic and I pray for all homosexuals to experience romance, true emotional and sexual connection to their fellow gays that their heart beats for.
@@gainfulheart sounds like twisting the bible.
@@Hypie582, what do you mean twisting the bible? What bible version did I state? Bible versions like: KJV, NASB, NVC? Or the Catholic Pastoral Edition? Which one? Who is twisting it? How many religions do we have all over the world? Read somewhere that religion is also like psychology. The continuous attack against homosexuals and using the bible for it is a psychological warfare. One day I will have a son or daughter and they might be gay, and I don't want them to suffer. There are gays who are in a loving relationship and that they are very well connected emotionally, mentally, sexually, and more so, spiritually. One day, I just hope and pray that religions would not have to use their scripture to attack certain group of people just because they can't reproduce or bear a child. I'm thinking about the polygamists in Texas sometime ago... and they are straight people.
I was with Mother Teresa in San Francisco when two people who worked for a well known published gay magazine had visited her. They kept insisting that there relationship was love. They wanted her approval. Mother kept shaking her head telling them that this was not love.
Ew.
Judgement, God giving people over!
How would she know how these two felt about each other????
Is people giving people STDs and broken anuses love? It’s just a funny kind of love (see what I did there?), I guess. There is Eros love, but it is a base kind of love dwarfed by the kind of love absent in that relationship, as in that of any swingers and those who leave their spouse for another for being inconvenienced as are evangelical Protestant and modernist trolls.
people commonly mistake love with desire to each other - as well as pleasure with happiness. These two are often opposite to each other. Take the example and understanding of love from relations between a mother and her children, a father and his son, from God and His children, not from fragile sexual relationships based on desire and one's own interests.
I was FORTUNATE to actually escort Mother from India to Roma when I lived at Hellenikon ABS Greece...
Once a week, our military passenger/cargo aircraft would fly from our USAF Air Force base in Greece to India, then to Roma, and back to Greece.
One time, Mother asked if she could ride on our plane to Roma.
I was asked to be on that aircraft and Escort Mother.
Mother had one request... in the bathroom's and elsewhere in the small passenger section of the aircraft, could we please cover any mirrors? OK, I covered them.
Once we arrived in India, as the cargo was being unloaded, I walked to the air terminal to receive Mother and a couple of her sisters, and escorted them to the aircraft. Once the aircraft became airborne and we were on our way to Roma, I just had to ask Mother, why did you ask that the Mirrors be covered?
Mother's reply... We are not to look upon our OWN REFLECTIONS, but instead, look upon the faces of OTHERS, so that we may find the face of GOD in others.. ...
This opened up our conversations during that trip... and I had a wonderful experience meeting Mother.
One thing though, from her talk, we are not to HATE one another, we are to show LOVE, COMPASSION and PITY.
Those that refuse to come to GOD, we are to PITY, but show them Love and Compassion in hopes that they will remember and one day do the WILL OF GOD...
Whatever.
With all her money, why couldn't the old dwarf fly on her own dime?
That was beautiful!
@@jeffallcock4561 Lova ya Jeff, love ya. Take care.
@@mfawls9624 Same to you.
Love the sinner;hate the sin. Amen!
It’s a cliche and bullshit. It’s impossible to do this honestly. The line should be just, “love the neighbour” or “love the beloved children of God”
For all the haters read what Jesus says in red in the Bible he never mentions being gay is a sin he loves everyone and by the way she’ll fish is an abomination so don’t sin and eat shrimp scampi or shrimp cocktail!
And how do you do that. Impossible.
@@skojigoquist9288 impossible for you maybe, but not for me and this is why. I was born in South Texas and could not cross the railroad tracks to the north, could not go into restaurants on the north side of town, nor attend church on the north side of town. I served in military service 10 years and still am considered a second class citizen. I was refused employment in my hometown. They would not sell me a hamburger nor warm the bottle for our two week old baby. But I follow the commandments of Jesus Christ, love God and your neighbor as yourself. I love everyone regardless of who they are because of God’s mandate. Amen!
@@abelgarcia6992 sorry that you went through all this. Glad to hear that you are so wise in loving people regardless of how they treat you.
When asked this question I don’t tell people what I think. What I think doesn’t ultimately matter. I tell them what God thinks by reading what he’s said through scripture. Simple as that.
God didn't write the Bible
@@xxsaruman82xx87 And I’m Abraham Lincoln.
@@PositivelyNegativeOfficial Even if you believe in the word of the Bible and are a devout Christian, you can’t argue that your god wrote the Bible. The New Testament was (purportedly) written by the apostles and by Paul. We know little about the authors of the Old Testament but it was certainly written by humans, not by a god
@@xxsaruman82xx87 Nobody believes that God wrote any of the biblical texts. The belief is that the biblical writers were under divine inspiration by the Holy Spirit.

"I want to invite you into the fullness of your dignity as a beloved child of God."
This is such a wonderful sentence for so many occasions! Thank you, I'm really amazed by that.
@Jerome wish homophobics got back to God.
@Jerome Someone has THOUGHT a lot about that!
Unless you are ____________. How about covering up pedo priests? Isn't that more important?
"I want you to die without company, without succor, without relief---and I want you to renounce yr religion too". Amazed by that too? But that's what this old hag and her succibi did.
I wonder if you'd find it so wonderful if practised on yrself. I'm thinking you wouldn't.
You are too impressed by words.
"By their fruits you will know them" Jesus said. So the beloved children of God are the ones who seek God and follow His ways, not the ones who glorify perversion.
My friend, do not misuse that passage. Christ was then speaking of people who would claim to come in His name speaking with His authority. It was a way to root out false teachers: "By their fruits you shall know them."
The Prodigal Son did not cease being the apple of the Father's eye while he was off plundering his father's riches on perverted desires. Instead, the Father waited patiently with love for the Son to return to His arms. But when the Son asks for his share of the inheritance, and insults his Father, the Father permits His child's freedom. Likewise, anyone who never repents of their failures simply can not be the object of a Divine Mercy that they did not ask for.
"Beloved Children of God" is not an exclusive title for the righteous, it is the humble gift given to all who God has claimed as His own, regardless of their behavior. For us it is grace first, transformed by loving works. We repent to receive the Lord's Divine Mercy, and re-enter into the life giving Love that we cannot live without. The Prodigal Son did not cease being the Son of the Father, but rather, "...my Son was dead, but now is alive again"
@@marvelator8303
I believe this passage "by their fruits you shall know them" applies to all false behavior. It simply stating that the ones who truly knows God and follow Jesus and the ones who does not, will be known by their behavior.
What comes to the progigal son, he was dead, dead in his sins and if he would die then, he would not go to Heaven. Now it was great that he came to his senses, humbled himself down, repented and came back to life out of his sins but he was dead, meaning he was separated from the father all that time when he was living in the world.
@@marvelator8303 Bravo! Well said❤️🙏🏻🌹

If these people don't say the same when they see:
- Polyamorous families (e.g : 3 men & one woman with a child who they don't know who the father is).
- Adulterers parading with their lovers in the malls.
- Photos of pedophiles.
- Abortionist entering an abortion clinic and the mothers looking for their services.
- Politicians blatantly lying and/or approving laws against family and life.
- Videos of the bolcheviques marching.
- Videos of Hitler's troops doing the horrible things they did.
- Narcos walking in the hills of a road to take position before they shoot, with pleasure and no remorse at all, police officers until they are perforated with dozens of bullets.
- Gangsters in Central America dismembering somebody they deemed had to die.
- Videos of terrorists blowing themselves to kill the "infidels" or cutting the throats of Christians who refused to renounce their faith.
If they don't say "beloved children of God" to these and others commiting sins against God or celebrating their sins, they are hypocrites.
It is true God loves every human, but it is also true that he wants us to repent and sin no more, and to be holy to enter heaven.
Telling them a lie (because we became children of God by baptism -CCC 1213- and real children in the New Jerusalem -Rev 21:7) will not achieve anything and may compromise their salvation.
@Niko you are spot on! no need to mince words if you live in sin you are dead (no eternal life) so if you live in sin and contort the Bible to fit whatever sinful lifestyle you choose you are only trying to live in your sins without feeling so much guilt. Repent! Dont fool yourselves! If its wrong its wrong! And if you refuse to, well your still Gods children but not all will receive eternal life. I am no exception i pray that i am worthy of being with our Father. God Bless you all!
This is a lesson for me. I focus too much on what I believe (the "rules) instead of just loving people. That's truly the core of what we believe, so that's what I need and we all need to do more of. Thanks for this short video I was able to watch between classes :)
One of the first things Almighty God did after Moses led his children of out of the land of slavery was to give them a set of rules. Do you think he made a mistake?
However, don't be naive. There are strong forces working against moral society. Many are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Love means telling others the Truth. When we deny others the Truth we are denying Him. If we deny Him, He will deny is.
Which as Scripture itself states can essentially be summed up to loving people. Go look at Romans 13:10 before you reply: "Love cannot wrong a neighbour: Therefore the whole law is summed up in love." So yes, the original commenter is completely correct
I had to hit rock bottom before I came to Christ and the Catholic Church. I can relate on the freedom. I tried living life my way and it painfully didn’t work and so you come on your hands and knees to Our Lord Jesus and give your entire self to him. At least, that’s how it went for me. Still in the Journey but I will never go back to my old life again. Where there is no God and I’m my own god.
Matt's guest totally ignores what the Church calls "fraternal correction." It is an act of charity, and in some cases, is a moral duty. The guest says he looks at a group of gay pride marchers and says he loves them. That's all well and good, but it's not enough. If you really love them, try "fraternal correction." Chances are great they'll just blow you off. But you never know. If you present your argument reasonably, with charity, it may start one of them thinking. At least you'll have witnessed to Christian truth.
Agree and this sounds like a bunch or modernist b.s AGAIN…so sick of the weak lovey dubby let’s be nice to everyone. Niceness isn’t a virtue. Charity is, and charity is speaking to them the truth. Practicing sodomites do not enter the kingdom of Heaven, and if you truly love them, you don’t stop at telling them “I love you” you must tell them the truth about what the Church teaches whether they want to hear it or not. Truth and Charity go hand in hand.
I think “fraternal correction” by definition is that you have a “fraternal” relationship with the person as the context of correction. Which means you have to first establish mutual friendship and trust, to accept and honor their humanity, and show the person that like a caring brother, even if they reject your correction, you will always be there for them and never give up. (See 1 Cor 13) That’s when you earn your right to “correct” someone. That is “speaking the truth in love.” Love is not a sentiment or being nice. Bishop Barron has always quoted Dostoevsky who has said,”Love is a harsh and dreadful thing.” It’s not that YOU get to say harsh and dreadful things to another in the name of correction; it’s the harshness and dreadfulness of walking along someone’s suffering because of the sin of this world, allowing your heart to break and grieve, and keep holding on to hope even in the darkest of places of rejection and even persecution. Jesus did that on the cross and asked us to follow his example.
@@carmensitaaaa You are attempting to correct me now, "fraternally," without having first established what you say is a pre-condition of fraternal correction -- a "mutual friendship and trust." Thanks for making my point, brother.
Another comment full of religious bigotry. Just let everyone love and be with the person they choose, it’s no business of yours or the churches.
@@deanlowdon8381 You're not getting this. A Christian who cares enough about a brother to give "fraternal correction" is not guilty of bigotry. To the contrary, he's expressing the form of charity -- telling the truth. And as for it being no business of yours or mine or the Church's, that's nonsense. You don't let a brother walk over a cliff without at least telling him he's on the edge of it.
The Holy Spirit came soon the deciples and gave them courage to proclaim the Gospel to all!! And when the Gospel is not respected we MUST speak it's TRUTH with total courage no matter who may be offended!!

Everyone always tries to make it about being gay. Sexual immorality, whether gay or straight, is what the church preaches against. This is because your sexual addictions enslave you. Anyone who has been a slave to their sexual passions knows exactly what I am talking about. The purpose of sex is procreation; therefore the proper place for it is within marriage between a man and woman.
I would mostly agree, but would suggest that the purpose of sex is two-fold: bonding/pleasure and procreation.
Why did God deisgn the clitoris, then?
Using your argument, married people who are infertile would not be permitted to have sex.
The way I understood this is that, being attracted to same sex is not the sin. People were created to feel emotions. Even heteros feel temporarily attracted to same sex at some point in their lives especially if the person has something they admire so much. Though fleeting, but it happens.
It only becomes a sin when the feeling is applied inappropriately by fornication or adultery as examples. When you really think of it, same principle applies to heteros as well. Heteros will also sin if they have sex before marriage or enter into extra marital affairs.
it is also a sin if a homosexual engages in homosexual relationship or marriage or engages in homosexual activity.
Yes you are right. You see having homosexual intentions is not a sin. But commiting homosexual acts is a sin.
Ofcourse we have to love them as God.s creation but that does not mean that I love the Gay pride where there is an exaggerated atmosphere which is being propagated. They should live normal lives and be treated and respected like everybody else. The Gay pride is not part of that.
Why do you get to decide what is “normal”?
@@xxsaruman82xx87 it is not me who decides at all. They are deciding to act abnormal so everybody sees them doing strange things . I know enough gays who do not want to be seen dead in those Gay Pride parades. That says enough I would think.
Gay pride is a protest.....So many People are still being killed for being gay..... Pride is absolutely needed....
@@rash123d7 I am sorry to disappoint you but it is NOT a protest. They are exaggerating their gayness while presenting themselves in VERY unacceptable ways AND making a fool of themselves. Having a "so-called" whale of a time while doing the most exaggerated things and for what? Showing people tat they are GAY? Just be gay and act as a human being who respects him/herself and wants respect from others.
I know many gays who would NEVER set a foot in those scenes and they are all loved and respected by their entourage, because of who they are as human beings. Not because they are or are not gay.
As for getting killed for being gay. Non gays are also getting killed. In the Western world the gays that are getting killed are usually killed or mishandled by non Western people who come from lands where they would do that unpunished.
Do not follow the propaganda. All you have to propagate is that gays are also our brothers and sisters and children of God . We treat each other with respect. That is all. Those who don't will have to be dealt with.

There is this whole idea that is you disagree with someone's lifestyle that you HATE them. Speaking the TRUTH is love, not hate. Hate would be lying to them and telling them it's okay to sin.
Freedom is not being a slave to anything, especially our passions. If you can be in front of your favorite food (or cigarettes, alcohol, pornography, etc) and walk away from it, that’s true freedom.
Rather, freedom is not being a slave to anything, especially God

Exorcise Religion From This World. It is the source of all that is unjust and divisive.
Is it love, or lust?
I don’t think anyone naturally lusts for the same sex. There is always a cause. That cause may turn into lust once the person fully rejects the opposite sex/embraces the same sex. Becoming gay is just a defense mechanism for self preservation, because a person was hurt by or is afraid of the opposite sex. It is difficult to overcome & we should show compassion because this person likely experienced a traumatic event that pushed them away from ever wanting a close intimate relationship with the opposite sex.

Paul Goodier God loves everyone one of his creation. The thing is that he graced humanity with the freedom of choice. The choice to do that which they desire. God will always love everyone, straight or not. He simply just doesn’t like some of the choices we make as human beings
Mark Aguilera I wish not to argue with you but let me say that God does not let sin go unpunished. Of course there is the eternal punishment in the end for those who are unwilling to change their ways but God is a God of justice. If God never intervened, why do people get caught. Why is it that often times things done in the dark are brought to the light? Why is it that people that are suffering eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel? Why is it that those that exploit their wealth sometimes find themselves with nothing. Let me assure you God made no mistake when he created the world. He knows why everything is happening the way it is.
In terms of choice he gave us the choice to live our lives according to our own will. He wanted us to glorify him willingly and with our whole heart. It’s like an argument where people say God is too controlling because he’s like Worship me or perish. It was that way in the beginning when one sin and the earth would swallow you, but after the great flood, God promises to never lash out like that again, instead he allows man to do what they wish, which will later allow them to choose whether to follow God or not.
But let me state my point. God does not condone evil. He does intervene in many ways. It could be through nature, other people or his own Godly way. He is a God of Justice and will serve justice the moment it is due.
Mark Aguilera hmmm well I suppose we all have our ways of perceiving these things. You have your opinion and you have it founded on facts that you have.
I will continue to believe in my God because I have my own reasons and experiences to back up my faith.
I suppose all I can respond is that Only God knows why he does what he does and why he lets things go the way they do.
You believe God is irresponsible because you have reason to. I believe God is just in his ways because I have my own reason to.
I realise this conversation may not go anywhere because neither party wishes to see reason in the other’s point.
It was interesting to see your views but I still have reason to see God as perfect. Now then, I’ll leave it at that.

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: 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 recompense of *their error* which was meet.
Romans if u read it all and not from just 26 onwards u will see this was paul condemning the straight folk he knew who were using same sex acts in their idolotry cults which was unatural to straight folk, so God gave them over to a reprobate mind, hows this help?

They aren't children of God until they accept Jesus as their Savior. But we should show them love to bring them to the Cross.
Brian Neer Baptism is what brings a soul to be adopted by God. He loves the people He created and calls them to Himself. Until they are Baptized, by water and the Holy Spirit, they are not children of God. Baptism of Desire, and Baptism of Blood, (martyrdom) suffice when Sacramental Baptism is impossible.

I can see Saint Mother Teresa saying this because we are not defined by out sin, however, she would not say this is where it ends. She would lovingly show them what they are doing wrong.

This "we're all children of God" isn't correct. I'm tired of hearing it from whatever source. We are human creatures whom He made in His image and likeness, yes, but we are fallen human creatures. His children are those who believe in Christ, follow, love, and obey Him, all accomplished thru His grace without which we can do nothing. We receive the Holy Spirit, are adopted as children, and then call God "Abba". What can be said is that we are all potentially children of God, loved by Him. He wants us to be His children and died on the Cross to make that possible, but if we don't believe, we remain fallen human creatures, not His children. May all come to believe in His Incarnate Son, and may those who do believe in Him receive the grace of final perseverance, a grace for which I pray daily. 🙏 this is not a "holier than thou" attitude on my part. I know only too well my own sinfulness. Without Christ's atoning Passion and Death, I'd be doomed. No matter how "good" we think we are, it could never outweigh our transgressions. That's why we need Our Savior.
We are not all children of God!!! "Many are called but few are chosen." We shouldn't hate them as it says to love your neighbour as yourself but we cannot agree with their lifestyle. Being gay is not a sin but living that lifestyle is a great sin in God's eyes thus we cannot all be children of God unless we repent, live a godly life and we receive salvation through Jesus Christ. Even then we continue to be sinners and we must repent continually. Another misconception is that we can accept Jesus and with that comes salvation. Salvation is something that is granted us (when He chooses) if we are His elect. It is not something that we can just take or accept when we please.

Gods Word says we are all children of wrath until repenting and coming to Christ in faith .. our identity is found in Him after conversion . I pray these words penned by the Apostle Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit bring you rest .
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Truth!
"Sin" is an abstract. Hating or loving an abstract has no effect on the abstract. In addition, there would be no "sin" without a "sinner" to commit it. The notion "love the sinner, but hate the sin" is a cop-out. Hating the abstract is to hate the person.
@@lyleneff Hate the action of sin, but love (the action, not the feeling) the sinner
@@elenaritter4069 Hating the sin (action) is no better than hating the sinner (the person who commits the action). Actions relabeled as "sin" are not subject to consequences, whether deserved or not. People are. Love me or hate me is a choice which those who judge me must own up to. Misdirection to abstractions or "actions" is useless and heartless.
@@lyleneff sin is absolutely not an abstract. It is a choice. Just like love.
Jesus loved us, so he told us the truth, saying repent for the kingdom of God is at hand! Loving someone is not letting them alone in their sin, and not warning them of sins wages! People who live in sin, are not the beloved of God. They are enemies of God, because of their evil works of sin! But God will have mercy on all that will confess and forsake their sin, and follow Jesus Christ! But until you do that, no matter what kind of sin you are living in, you remain an enemy of God! And the wages of sin is eternal death! Gods love calls all mankind everywhere to repent! And yes he loves us all so much, he gave his only begotten son, to suffer and die, to take away our sin! That is how horrible sin is! And why it is a slap in Gods face to except those that sin as good. And it is not love to sit back and say nothing while countless souls fill up hell! We are called to warn those people, and turn them to the savior! Not to except their sin as they perish in it!
Sugar coated preaching is bad for people's health, call that lifestyle what it is, It is sin and immoral and there are consequences for their actions, they need to repent of that lifestyle and turn from it or face the divine wrath of God on judgement day.
I love Mother Teresa. Not perfect, full of every human weakness, yet persevering in spite of it all.
You can love a person in spite of their sin, we all know our own sins just as our higher power knows. We choose our path, our higher power calls us back. Wether we choose to follow or wander, we are still a person to be loved.
Being gay isn’t a sin, it is a part of someone’s nature. Just like being straight (I’m assuming) is part of your nature. So say “condemning the sin” is condemning the sinner.
First of all, you’ve contradicted yourself with your final conclusion, also,Catholics believe homosexual acts are wrong, not being homosexual, because it goes against the nature of sexuality(openness to life, selflessness, loyal), and, there is only human nature, there is no “personal nature”, why talk of humanity if each person has his nature, doesn’t make sense, we all have the same goals(happiness, the pursuit of good and truth), this goals being evidence of intelligent order (God)

How is it not an imposition to say if you do x then you must y? And that is the biggest load of horse crap I have ever heard, if they are not going to be allowed to have sexual interaction then chastity is a gift? That is the very definition of imposition, forcing a "gift" upon someone who hasn't chosen it. That's like going up to some random straight person and forcing them to get married and saying the married life is your gift.
Nate Graham God knows us better than anyone else in the world. He knows us better than we know ourselves even, because He made us. He has the most intimate understanding of us because He can see into our very souls, which He Himself created. He knows our hearts and what will bring us happiness, as well as what will hurt us. There are even straight people who are called to a life of chastity, because God knows that that is where they will find true happiness. Every vocation is a gift, whether it be married life, or a life of chastity. But God has allowed us free will. We can reject the life He is calling us to live if we want to, but without Him we will never find true happiness.
There’s a talk I was listening to the other day, if I think of the name of it I’ll comment it so you can choose to look more into depth if you want, but to simplify it: the speaker was a father and had a two year old son. His son really wanted to climb on some playground equipment (I think it was monkey bars??), but his father wouldn’t let him. Was his father not allowing him to because he was just wanting to ruin his fun and put an imposition on him? Of course not, he wasn’t letting him because he knew it was too dangerous and he could get hurt. He did it out of love. He loved his son so much that he gave him the gift of protection, even though it seemed like he was taking something away from him. God is like that. He doesn’t make rules because He wants to restrict us and ruin our fun, he does it to protect us because He loves us. God knows that sin hurts our souls and leads to nothing but unhappiness, and wants to save us from that.
@@amyj4224 you have the most graceful way of explaining Gods love. God Bless you.
They are not “beloved children of God” until they believe in Jesus and repent. That is biblical. We are all loved by God or else He would not have let His Son go to the cross for us, but unrepentant sinners are not children of God.
Christ be with you
there are two ways this term is used.
One is that we are all sons of God through Adam (Luke 3:38)
Though we are all his Children we have died to him (Luke 15:24)
The second is we are adopted Children of God through Christ. those who have been raised to new life in Him (Rom 6:24)
Those who Love God and keep his commandments (1 John 5:1-2)
Homosexual and other sinners for that matter have died to God and he still loves them and waits for there return but it is only those who have been born again in Baptism and live according to Christ teaching and that of his Church that are truly his Children.

Exactly! I was waiting for that to be said too. It doesn't matter what man thinks/believes, it only matters what God says, period. Also, Mother Theresa was incorrect in saying that we are all "children of God," as scripture says that we must be adopted into God's family by receiving Jesus by faith {John 1:12}. We are all Gods creation, but not all His children. And yes, God loves gay people, but He hates sin, whether it is homosexuality, murder, lying, adultery, etc. So, in short, one can NOT be an active homosexual and call themselves a Christian. It is a contradiction to say. God be with you.

Respecting other peoples freedom to choose sin does not explain or justify the so-called "Christian" who wont even try to save souls or do missionary work in their own neighborhoods, hording their light and dooming those souls in their own ignorance. To be a good Christian you kind of have to get in their faces and preach the word. That does not require compulsion or a disregard for autonomy. But it does require that you actively engage when you can. "Propose, not impose"... You cant propose if youre not willing to proselytize to anyone but the already devout choir among you. And by not, you ARE imposing. Youre imposing their inevitable damnation on them.
Words of truth right here. Respectfully preach the neighborhood is something keyboard warriors aren’t doing in the foreseeable future. God bless❤

I'm presently married to a woman who refuses to be intimate with me and gives me virtually no affection. Yes she is a devout Catholic and we do everything together; pray, go to church, go to family gatherings, etc... Just no intimacy and very very little affection. We're essentially roommates. So I know what it's like to have to live a chaste and lonely lifestyle. If I can do it so can someone who has gay tendencies. We must live for God. His will above our own. This is why I do not divorce my wife. When I married her I made an agreement with God to protect her, love her, and lead her to God. Sex and happiness are not guaranteed. It's really hard on me and at times I just want to have a meltdown, but I remember St. Joseph and how he never touched the Holy Mother, despite being married to her. So I ask for his intercession, pick up my cross, and carry it without complaint. What saddens me the most is that I know my wife will have to answer to God for denying me intimacy in our marriage. For the record I am 53, she is 52, and neither of us have any health issues. She just tells me that she doesn't "feel that way to me" and that "it makes her feel she's being raped". The bottom line is this .... there is no justification for sin. If you need to be celibate to avoid sin then so be it. Pick up your cross, like me, and let's follow Jesus.
So you are a hero. I thank God that Heaven is not restricted to heros.
Mother Theresa attacked the very root of the problem with this response. Catholicism teaches us to love the sinner and hate the sin. The response of identitarian politics like the LGBT movement is to say "sinners are their sin": "gay" is an "identity", its who they perceive themselves to BE. Mother Theresa is refusing to accept the very premise of the question: nobody is by definition gay. You are first children of God. And if your defense is that you were born this way, then hear Christ's teaching that we must be born AGAIN.
But I dont agree with this guys approach. You see a bunch of young people parading with colorful flags straight into the abyss and you just look at them with fondness? To me its like seeing your brother injecting heroin into his arm and not interfering for fear of being perceived as "a thorn on his side". Can you truly claim to love someone and be fine with watching them destroy themselves? Speaking the truth with boldness is not incompatible with love! But it must be done right and with the grace of God in order to achieve fruitful results.
@@83c91 Well, thank you for your compassion! Indeed sinners like me need all the prayers we can get. But would you care to elaborate on what part of my comment elicited such a sentiment in you? Cheers
Very true. Modern day heretical progressivism does practice hating the sinner. They hate individuals. It's very evil really.
You cannot be a "child of God" because being ONE means God has rejected you (the doctrine of Reprobation). Romans 1 says that you have to be given up to a condemned mind so that you are doing things which are unnatural. NO, NOT everyone is a child of God. Jesus was clear on this.
The amount of homophobia in the comments is saddening. If god is real, they wouldn't want this.
Thank you 10 billion times for this! I invited my wonderful ER doctor sister-in-law to be Catholic and her only reserve to me over Thanksgiving was "what if my family member were a lesbian, what would i say?" I prayed to Jesus to give me words but they didn't come... until now... You guys are the best!
@Geto Daco pipo don't read the word but expect to hear from Jesus how ironic n when someone states an opinion over this sin someone shud take it as a gospel Truth. Wat do they expect the Lord to say wen he has finished his work on the cross. He crucified his flesh he was smashed beyond recognition yet we want to please our flesh n do just nthing we want on da expense of Grace. Pipo ll b shocked wen they find themselves in hell fire 🔥
what does "ER Doctor " have to do with it???!!!! One' profession shouldn't come into it
Mother Teresa response was weak in my opinion, given the opportunity, she should have taught that the law of God does not permit gay behaviour, and also quoted scripture. Appropriately, in today's gospel reading at Mass:
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. What, then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? Or what has a man to offer in exchange for his life?
‘For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will reward each one according to his behaviour.'
How appropriate is this teaching and especially in these dark times!
Mother Teresa’s response was not weak, nothing she did was weak. She spoke about all of God’s beloved children in a manner to draw them into communion with the Lord. Especially if they were not already practicing Catholics. As people grow closer to the Lord we desire to do things in a right manner and please the Lord. She was ingenious in her desire to love the person, not the sin, draw them into communion with the Lord. This is a much more effective way than beating someone over the head with the Bible because they’re a sinner. The only one qualified to throw the stone didn’t.
@@bearlycountry2406 well put, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to be the Holy Spirit especially if those persons haven't entered into the call to discipleship and surrendered their lives to Christ. I love Mother Teresa and think she was spot on with this issue (although I disagree with some of her universalist theology in my humble opinion). Blessings.
Mother Teresa is not the spokesperson of the Catholic Church!
“The Church never imposes” you might wanna brush up on your world history
