--------
In this clip, gospel singer Marvin Sapp looks back on his discography before highlighting singles such as "Thank You in Advance" and "Close." Then, Shawn Prez brings up an interesting point, that Marvin Sapp has never had a scandal like so many other famous pastors. To that, Marvin talks about his faith and the temptations that he has to overcome just like everyone else, before touching on his responsibilities as pastor. He also states that he doesn't want to to make a costly mistake that would affect his finances or his career. Later in the discussion, Marvin shares his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the late Bishop Eddie Long. He goes on to explain why he chose to pray for Bishop Eddie Long, amid the sexual abuse allegation, and the victims. Lastly, he shares his thoughts on Lil Nas X, and whether or not he believes that homosexuality, should be accepted by the church.

Please, bring back the old preacher's who didn't dance around these types of questions. But, they stood flatfooted, looked you in your eyes, & told you what the bible said..And, they didn't care if it hurt your feelings or not..Man, I miss them.
EXACTLY 100%
Well all you gotta do is watch Gino Jennings he don’t water down nothing he give it you straight and direct he hurt people feelings but hey it is what it is
@@DatsjoeYT Yes he does! He doesn’t worry about the money leaving the church, and let’s keep it funky. Thats why a lot of pastors won’t condemn homosexuality.
Amen !!!
Amen, Tyrone!
It’s a shame to see so many professing believers mince with words or try to beat around the bush when it comes to the homosexuality question. Yes, it’s a sin, yes one will go to hell if they remain in it BUT…God sent His only begotten Son to live the perfect & sinless life that we could not live & died on behalf of sinners. What do we do? Repent & believe on Him. John 3:3.
The Lord didn’t just simply die for everyone. Salvation come through true repentance & faith in Him. When a person is truly born again / saved it will be evident by the biblically based fruits in their life. Read 1John.
I wonder how he would have answered the question if he asked him about fornication
E. Capers that’s right, but what is that sin that is not unto death? Who is the writer talking to? Who does it apply to? Break it down, in its proper context & not cherry picking.
As far as homosexuality “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
Homosexuality is not some “special sin” but it’s a damning sin like any other, albeit at a different degree; murder is different from lying. We have truly ALL fallen short from the glory of God, & it’s why He calls us ALL to repent from our sins and run to His in faith to be saved.
Very important to note. We are ALL God’s creation, but we are not ALL God’s children. It’s one of the reasons 1John was written, so you can examine your life in light of scripture & see if you are truly saved, truly born again. Don’t be deceived.
@ilovejoharai Probably in a similar manner. Nothing new under the sun, the Old Testament false prophets (weren’t truly called by God) would speak soothing words to the masses and naturally they flocked together. To speak the truth can cost you everything. The Lord says to all His followers to “count the cost”.
To not want to say the truth to avoid conflict or hurting people’s feelings is to leave their blood on our hands, not warning them of the judgement to come. ““Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
(Matthew 5:10)
It’s crazy how the church folk don’t want to speak on controversial things direct
Some people still won't listen.
It’s all about the Benjamin… if the church was ever self sufficient best believe you would hear another tune
That's because most gospel artists are not real followers of Christ. simple. example (Kirk Franlkin)
If he answered direct, P. Diddy wouldn't invite him to anymore parties. He wouldn't be able to hang with his buddy TD Jakes at Diddy house.
@@thetriumpone5204 how do u know if someone is or isn't a follower of Christ? Wouldn't Christ and the ppl that the person are around only know that? Wouldn't that be God's place to determine that? You're just going by videos you see on the internet but are you around these people you call "fake Christians" when they are around their family and friends? Do you know their hearts? Or are you just going by things you see and read on the internet? What you see on these apps aren't the fruit that they bear. You need to examine yourself and make sure YOU'RE a REAL Christian.
Wooooow. I can't believe his response to homosexuality that's crazy. He just danced around the question. Jesus have mercy on these leaders 🙏
It's all about the Benjamin's
He didn't dance around anything. His response was mean. Very nice nasty....which is worse in my opinion.
What did you expect him to do? He just said he likes his lifestyle and he’d he like to maintain it.
I mean he is an a.k.a.. He’s not necessarily innocent with that doctor coming up in the water.
I don't see my previous comment..hmmm...anyway again he need to be preaching ABOMINATION AGAINST IT
Lol the white man enslaved your kind in the name of Jesus or god Why you still preaching a slave doctrine😂
I'm a Christian and when somebody ask me about homosexuality, I tell them my opinions on the matter don't matter but if you wanna know what GOD thinks about it then read His Word🙏♥️✌️
Amen
Facts
It’s because he’s a A-lister in the music industry. He has a lot to lose if he says the wrong things. He will lose money and that’s all he cares about. He wants to maintain his lifestyle. 🥴🤧
@@tinyking11 I'd rather lose the world than lose my path in my Walk in CHRIST...
🙏♥️✌️
@@manilabry8 I agree bc we can’t take the money or fame with us when we die. 🤷🏽♀️
Him being a "bishop" and not having the guts to say homosexuality is wrong is a scandal. Even Boosie will say its wrong and he's not even a devout christian. How does Boosie have better theology than you.
I know, why even bother to continue in pastoral position if not teach the truth? Why bother? The truth not in them anyway. They trying to be of the world and be in church too. Having they cake trying to maintain a balance that's not going to work according to scriptures.
Makes you wonder. don't it.
Bc Christians are always being accused of being judgmental and majority bp will say that's why they wont go to church bc of judgey Christians. So he may be afraid of being cancelled (bc we seen what happened to that gospel singer woman that worked with Pharrell years ago) but I think it's more about being afraid of alienating people for Christians of today bc there aren't many scriptures on homosexuality. To me it's obvious where the Bible stands on it, but for those that like to manipulate info to serve themselves, they will.
Yup
@@mercedesharrison5550 Yeah they might cancel him. But if you don't want to be cancelled, your in the wrong religion.Paul said that "all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." If he was worried about being judgmental he could have said that it was wrong but there is grace and forgiveness for those who struggle with it.
How time has changed! Wow! Heterosexual bishops no longer condemn vehemently homosexuality like before. Marvin danced around the question so much and carefully weighted his answers
That's why as a man of christ I can't be apart of that industry
He obviously knows the gay mafia will take him down the moment he says it is wrong, hence the tap dancing. Principle means you stand on your beliefs, regardless of the outcome and who is offended. oh well...
@@justusreigns8391 yea smh
Because all he cares about is MONEY!!! You heard him say. I like my lifestyle and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize it.
@@kyrah6450 straight sell out sad because I like his music
"The Best In Me" is for souls that believe....one of the most inspirational songs ever
That song and prayer gave me a miracle.
Yes yes
I will say this...I met Bishop Sapp when I was 19 years old. It was the worst time of my life at that time. My mother had passed away a year and a half before and I was still angry and adjusting to life without her.
Before her passing, I couldn't see anything but great things for myself in the coming years. I had scholarships from your top tier schools for basketball and football like most aspiring athletes would like to have. When she passed, too much of me passed with her. I gave up everything. I ended up moving to Houston with my Grandmother because I couldn't catch myself while with my dad. I didn't care to deal with anyone at the time, but I was back in school to finish and allowed myself to make a few select friends.
One of these friends asked me to go to his church for other reasons (teenager stuff), but it ended up being a good place. Now, I wasn't into church then, I won't act like I am now, but it's definitely not out of losing faith as such because then, I thought GOD had forgotten about me.
Anyways, so I rarely went whenever he would invite me, but he said this major singer was coming to their church and I should check it out. I had never heard of Marvin Sapp at the time, but when my friend had brought up a few songs, I had realized that I had heard a few. So, I agree to go. Bishop Sapp was introduced and before he even started to sing, he spoke of his life at our age and how he was doing stupid things and trying to find himself. He also spoke on how easy it was for him to get girls because of his gift. It made it easy for him. He then brings up his wife (who was there and she was an incredibly beautiful spirit) and how their relationship materialized.
Of course, he did his thing and set the church on fire with his singing. I briefly spoke with him afterwards and when we did, he was so kind. He said something that stuck with me all these years later. He could tell that my spirit was bothered and he said that "whatever you're going through, GOD would never try to harm you. Don't be afraid to move forward and alone if you have to because you have places to go and "they" gave you the tools to walk through the door alone and you're never alone."
Say bruh...that provided a spark in the change of my trajectory in life because I if I had stayed on that path, I wouldn't be able to write this 22 years later. Understand, this man did NOT know me and it's not like he could've asked anyone in the church about me because no one knew me except my friend and he didn't know a whole lot about me. I took it to heart then because I knew it wasn't by chance to hear that message.
2 months later I get a full ride again D1. I used the doors available to me and it took me around the world and I was able to make a very good living doing so. It's really cool to see all that became of this man. I am sorry he lost his lovely wife. She was so kind. I pray for you Bishop and all the lives that you have and will inspire. At 42, I STILL don't go to church the way maybe I should 😂, but no one will never be able to tell me that GOD isn't real. I don't do coincidences. I believe you're put where you are supposed to be put at specific times with specific people. Now, whether you catch the message or not is on you, and what you do with it IF you did understand and receive it is on you. The doors are there. Just keep a listening ear for when it cracks open.
So, to anyone out there that may be struggling or going through it, I say to you what was said to me 22 years ago...whatever you're going through, GOD would never try to harm you. Don't be afraid to move forward and alone if you have to because you have places to go and "they" gave you the tools to walk through the door alone and that you're never alone."
GOD bless Bishop Marvin Sapp. GOD bless his loved ones and everyone he comes into contact with. And GOD bless anyone out there who needs a door to open. Your turn is coming. Claim it! 🖤👊🏿💪🏿🙏🏿
I tried to read it all but geesh
@@Dollaz_And_Dreamz 🤣 I feel you fam! Just a testimony bruh
Amen!!
All Glory to God.
@@lsceo5932 thank you for that testimony. I am sorry you lost your mother so young. I can not imagine my life even now without my mom. I lost my father and a man I loved this year and I needed to hear those words. I receive them.
💛
I knew he could sing but didn't know he could dance too... he gave the I don't want to lose members answer
Your comment is G O L D E N
Exactly!!!
Right I hope keeping members doesn’t require him to lose his soul. God is a God of second chances but repent and sin no more.
Basically he sayin I ain’t messin my money up, so I’m not gonna get canceled by calling it what it is lol
Yop 👍💯
Naw, you draw people to Christ, not chastise them. And there's too much sin listed in the Bible to point one out. That's dumb. He has wisdom.
John 8:7 Jesus even dodged a “gotcha question”. 😅
@@RealBNewshe wasn’t asked about all sim, he was asked about homosexuality. Do you think he would have the same question if asked about murder or rape?
@@motluvis murder and rape the same caliber??? If life isn’t given how is life taken?
SMH….he is ashamed of the gospel because of the backlash he will get. He danced all around that question. YES, it’s wrong and NOT accepted in the church but all can be saved and changed.
Amen!
Say it louder for the ppl in the back 🗣🗣🗣⛓⛓ he is worried about his numbers as opposed to the souls being sucked into hell daily
Simple straight forward answer
@@nathalieramirez6957 CHANCES are a true spirit filled Jesus preacher would condemn most of you in this comment section. Most of you folks are likely committing some of the worst sins that the Bible exhibits on a daily basis. Because you're not LGBT you think somehow that makes you right with God. You are wrong it takes much more than that.
Gospel Artists are afraid to speak the truth nowadays. The Gospel industry isn’t anointed anymore!
Gospel artists are just that "artists", they are no more responsible than any other "Christian"
You are 100 percent right
Seems like he sugar coating it, Oh i forgot Satan over the music😢😢🙏🏽💯🏆♐️👀
@@dec1slh:. Marvin Sapp presided over a church. So, he is so much more than a gospel artist. As such, he is mandated to speak truth not sit there and say he preaches what he believes in when his belief system means a hill of beans. His duty is to preach what thus saith the Lord. He failed, miserably choosing not to offend anyone when scripture is meant to offend everyone into repentance and change.
@@Cluckhead2 he is a human, that's what y'all get for automatically putting people on pedestals because of a title. You will end up disappointed everytime. If you don't like they way he answered the question don't support him or his teachings and keep it moving.
“I don’t believe in doing stupid stuff that will affect your financial position.”
exactly! He is more concerned with his career, then his relationship with Christ. Sad
Yep, all about those Benjamin's. That why he gave up his church in Grand Rapids.
The entire body of Christ needs continued prayer.
Yes
Very disappointed with his answer and this when you know it’s all about the money for him
Me coming from a Christian home straight up we don’t condone it but he won’t say that because he don’t wanna mess his money up
The lgbtq community believe in what they believe in, so a Christian we should believe what we believe in
Amen!
Amen!
Exactly
💯
I read this comment and your are so right
Marvin not sure if the church is against homosexuality 🤔. Image him saying that about any other sin. "I'm not sure if the church is against cheating, I'm not sure if the church is against child abuse, I'm not sure if the church is against racism."
He's half stepping. Not sure why he's continuing in pastoring preaching if he's not going to be truthful.
@@heidih.2394 "I've been blessed financially.." that's why
Agree we should stick with the Bible.
He is afraid to tell the truth, and has more fear of cancel culture then he does God. This is not a called by God pastor but an entertainer..
@@jeremiahjones4224 Couldn't have said it better myself
He answered the questioned about homosexuality based on a statement he made earlier regarding not doing anything that will effect his money. All prominent preachers and pastors who do not address this directly based on the scriptures is more afraid of being “canceled” by the world, and not having the support of everyone, which will ultimately affect their bottom line, their money.
Yes, his response was weak. He did not say that the Bible calls homosexuality sin. It takes quite a bit of work and forethought to dance around a question where he did.
I meant, like he did.
Yep. 98% of listeners appear to not hear Mr. Sapp preference for money over Bible truth.
STR8 FACTS! No lies detected here. Blessins...
Yes, money is their god.
He said he preached what he believed. He didn’t say what God told us what we should do. And he said he don’t want to mess up his money. He should have said because I want to make God happy by doing right.
I caught that too. He said “what I believe”.
Exactly
Yup, can't serve both God and money. He would denounce Christ if he becomes broke.
Give us strength and courage Most High God to stand on your word regardless of our financial status or stability 🙌🏾
Not Mr Sapp here, He needs that mean green to keep him in line. Oh yeah and a plate of pork chops ,collard greens,and macaroni and cheese.
Wow! Y’all know Him woo lay like that? Th prophetic gifting y’all have is on point!
Him beating around the bush tells you everything you need to know about him
?
💯
Another weak "christian" pastor
What in the world are you talking about?!
U right
He said everything that need to be said to understand his position with God in the first 4:32. “I don’t believe in doing stupid stuff that will affect your financial position” THEN he says he has a fear of God. He put God AFTER money and not BEFORE. You CAN NOT serve 2 masters, you will love one and hate the other. You CAN NOT serve God and money. Therefore all the rest of your morals will be compromised as well because your allegiance is to money and not to God. That simple.
💯 thought I was the only one who caught that! It means He will NOT say what the Bible says.
I lost respect for him when he said at the end '' I don't know if homosexuality is against the church'' It says it clearly in the bible that homosexuality is wrong
Exactly! He's not on the up in up. Trying to stay relevant and famous.
@@heidih.2394 yep. you will never see a real Christian on the TV screen
No matter what a leader say God's word is written
Marvin tap danced all around the Nas X question. That was "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk" level foot work right there.
His faith is weak, or lacking if he can’t really say what’s truth
I pray that people will read my post with an open mind and with the Bible by their side. I’ll post in parts for each specific point. My first point is that the Bible lists many forms of sexual sin whether committed by the person who is heterosexual or LGBTQI. I hope we can agree on the general point. In the Old Testament and New Testament, we can glean from the scriptures that the followings acts are considered sin: fornication including in the form of idolatry i.e. temple prostitution (Exodus 32, 57:7-8); many Christians believe that sex outside of marriage is an act of fornication so pre-marital sex, cohabitation, and getting pregnant outside of marriage would be a sin, right?(1 Cor. 7:2); from the verses in the Old Testament, God strikes Onan dead (Genesis 8-10) for not coming inside Tamar to produce an heir. Thus, we can conclude that coitus interuptus, masturbation (at least by men), oral sex (cunnilingus and fellatio), and anal sex would be considered against God’s will and sinful (since they involve the spilling of seed); taking birth control as the Catholics believe is also likely a sin for the same reason; adultery is a sin and thus, sex with multiple partners would be a sin (Deut. 5:18, Ten Commandments, Matthew 19:18, Mark 10:19); divorce is a sin except for adultery only (Matthew 5:27-32) (not even being physically abused is a ground for divorce much less irreconcilable differences); and we know from Jesus that even lust is a sin (Matthew 5:27-28); polygamy is a sin in the New Testament (1 Timothy 3:2, 12); rape of course is a sin and a woman who does not yell out when she is raped can also be stoned to death (Deut. 22:23-24); bestiality is a sin (Deut. 27:21); prostitution is a sin (Lev. 19:29; 21:9). Incest depending on the nature of the relationship is a sin. Interestingly, I could not find a single verse in the Bible that presented the argument that pedophilla is a sin if an older man was married to a female child. (please share if you know where that is found). If you read Leviticus Chapters 18 and 20 and believe as a Christian, you are still under Mosaic Law, this book details sexual activities that God has declared wrong. The New Testament declares in general sexual immorality (porneia) is a sin (Matthew 15:19, Mark 7:21, Acts 15:20, 29, 21:25, Roman 1:29, 2 Corinthians 12:21, Galatians 5:19), Colossians 3:5). So I would ask those who are commenting about homosexuals or the LGBTQI community to first ask themselves whether they are in a position to judge anyone or throw any stones if they examine their own lives. So if you reply, include in your comment that you are free from sexual sin by saying “I can throw a stone.” In my next comment, I will address separately the 7 or 8 Bible verses that touch on the issue of homosexuality. This comment only relates to the point that we should be concerned about our own so-called sexual sins instead of throwing stones at the LGBTQI community including homosexuals. I welcome your thoughts, opinions, and disagreements on the so-called sins I have listed.
Vlad needs to get Bishop Patrick Wooden on here. He ain’t gonna tap dance around any topics or questions. lol

Once he said he is familiar with lil Nas X music I knew how he would dance around the question
But why waste your time and energy debating that? That’s a seed that’s gonna fall on bad ground anyway.
Love Marvin Sapp. His songs get me through tough times. I listen to him in glad and sad times. And yes. I praise GOD in advance.
Come on marvin…you know that the Bible calls that stuff sinful
Right
Man church been fake
Interviewer: I never heard no scandal on you…
Sapp: 😳uhhhh… were you supposed to ⁉️😂
Marvin was really measuring his words dancing around that last question but like he said "I'm not getting caught up in anything that might make me lose money" smh
Yes didn’t sit right. Look how God came through for Chic Fil A after they stood their ground. They always have the longest lines.
@@jamesgest2777 Marvin let us
us know what his priorities are in the beginning of the interview he likes his lifestyle and doesn't want to lose his money
More people should use discernment like this when deciding to risk it all for stupid things. SO MANY people have lost everything because of lust or greed- it’s never worth it.
Soooo so true
I live in Grand Rapids where Marvin sapp originated from, I’ve attended his church services 2x a day before his wife died. All pastors have scandal, if you listen to his lyrics or sermons he tells his truth from the pulpit. His story is why I stayed in the church. His honesty of not being perfect of struggling with addiction while standing up preaching in the pulpit is phenomenal.
The truth. There's no such thing as HIS truth. Truth doesn't mean belief.
Couldn't be me. If I know I'm struggling with sin, I would not be up there preaching. It comes off as a hypocrite. No prophet or apostle don't have to worry about sitting me down. I would sit my own self down.
But the problem is the not perfect cliche is not biblical.
God expects a perfect church. When we talk about biblical perfection we are talking about remaining free from sin.
That’s why the Holyghost which is the Spirit and nature of God was made available to the whole wide world on the day of Pentecost
@@Godfirst986 I hear ya. But it's not the "struggle" part with the sin, that makes a person a hypocrite. It's if there ISN'T a struggle with the sin, and the person preaches against it, that makes them a hypocrite. Struggle means a person hasn't given up, they're fighting, and repenting if they fall. The struggle is a part of the process to Eternal Life, which leads to perfection. Where there's no more struggling.
@@Godfirst986
We are all sinners just because someone is struggling dosen't mean they aren't over coming. Did God hate David because of his sin or did he not still use him. Be careful, be very careful. That man is reaching to more people than you will ever know. Let God be the judge.
This is why I have much love and respect for real men of God who is not afraid to speak "The Truth of God"!! Pastor Gino Jennings is a real God sent man!!! If you don't speak against the wrongs of this world then you are not called by God. Many are Gospel singers, but are they real with Christ is the question?!?!? You can't serve God and Money!!! 💯
He's envious of these churches. The first thing you learn about faith is not to judge. He gets online spurring gospel that is ineffective and can't do much to help the people. Jennings is just a big mouth thinking the world is capable of living like the people in the bible. Dr Umar johnson is the same way shouting none sense. making promises he can't keep and sexing up the women with more lies. And still no school. Gay people are not committing crimes on a daily basis, they are not shooting up the neighborhood, their jobs, the schools. the clubs, So why do everyone want us dead because of a flaw in our dna. Babies come out deformed no one drag them.
Gino be casting too many stones! And both you and him sin just as much as anybody!
You are right, Pastor Jennings is the real deal. He will give you the honest truth of God. It might be hard to hear but it is the truth and he will tell it as Jesus would tell it. You must walk this world differently than those that are not of Christ. We do not walk this world as those do who do not know Christ. Amen!!
He danced around that homosexuality topic better than Gregory Hines
Yup protecting that bag💰 God help us. We ALL will have to answer to God for what we do on this earth.
@@Nyasha263 yeah because nobody is commiting any other sin.
MOST Definitely, Leaders in 2022 Don't Generally Speak the TRUTH about it.

SELAH..
The church and the world have become one many many years ago. Basically inspirational speakers now

In the Old Testament and New Testament, we can glean from the scriptures that the followings acts are considered sin: fornication including in the form of idolatry i.e. temple prostitution (Exodus 32, 57:7-8); many Christians believe that sex outside of marriage is an act of fornication so pre-marital sex, cohabitation, and getting pregnant outside of marriage would be a sin, right?(1 Cor. 7:2); from the verses in the Old Testament, God strikes Onan dead (Genesis 8-10) for not coming inside Tamar to produce an heir. Thus, we can conclude that coitus interuptus, masturbation (at least by men), oral sex (cunnilingus and fellatio), and anal sex would be considered against God’s will and sinful (since they involve the spilling of seed); taking birth control as the Catholics believe is also likely a sin for the same reason; adultery is a sin and thus, sex with multiple partners would be a sin (Deut. 5:18, Ten Commandments, Matthew 19:18, Mark 10:19); divorce is a sin except for adultery only (Matthew 5:27-32) (not even being physically abused is a ground for divorce much less irreconcilable differences); and we know from Jesus that even lust is a sin (Matthew 5:27-28); polygamy is a sin in the New Testament (1 Timothy 3:2, 12); rape of course is a sin and a woman who does not yell out when she is raped can also be stoned to death (Deut. 22:23-24); bestiality is a sin (Deut. 27:21); prostitution is a sin (Lev. 19:29; 21:9). Incest depending on the nature of the relationship is a sin. Interestingly, I could not find a single verse in the Bible that presented the argument that pedophilla is a sin if an older man was married to a female child. (please share if you know where that is found). If you read Leviticus Chapters 18 and 20 and believe as a Christian, you are still under Mosaic Law, this book details sexual activities that God has declared wrong. The New Testament declares in general sexual immorality (porneia) is a sin (Matthew 15:19, Mark 7:21, Acts 15:20, 29, 21:25, Roman 1:29, 2 Corinthians 12:21, Galatians 5:19), Colossians 3:5). So I would ask those who are commenting about homosexuals or the LGBTQI community to first ask themselves whether they are in a position to judge anyone or throw any stones if they examine their own lives. So if you reply, include in your comment that you are free from sexual sin by saying “I can throw a stone.” In my next comment, I will address separately the 7 or 8 Bible verses that touch on the issue of homosexuality. This comment only relates to the point that we should be concerned about our own so-called sexual sins instead of throwing stones at the LGBTQI community including homosexuals. I welcome your thoughts, opinions, and disagreements on the so-called sins I have listed.
Notice how they always want to ask preachers, ministers, bishops, pastors, and any spiritual/religious figure about their thoughts on homosexuality. It’s almost like a test to gauge how connected they are in their faith. Very few seem to actually condemn it.
The point is that there are tons of sins out there that people don't ask about. We do have to preach the truth but you also don't have to call out every sin to please people. God loves everyone and homosexuals get saved too. It's not your place to condemn people to hell. Get to know Jesus for yourself and you too will begin to stop doing sinful things
@@CeeJay611 You are 100% full of shit, d*Monic, NOT a follower of Jesus Christ, and are actually a flower of Satan, and you think people don't see or realize it. I don't give a damn what someone says or claims, we know who they (including you) are by their fruits/; actions/ and beliefs, and you just showed yours
And no, it's not just a sin, it's also an abomination. And outside of spirituality, it's literally one of the VERY worst, most damaging, most deadly mental illnesses in existence. Which is why God classified it as a sin and one of the many reasons classified as an abomination. Things are not frivolously and arbitrarily labelled as sins and abominations, they're labeled as such because engaging in them in this life are extremely harmful, damaging, hindering and deadly to you in this life, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, physically, spiritually, and in every other way. With abominations being much worse and much more damaging, not only to you and others...but to your entire human species, AND deadly to you regarding your life AFTER this one, in too of skirting in the face of God entire creation and plans for you as an individual and for the entire human race.
He labeled these things as sins and abominations and forbid us from them to HELP AND. SAVE US from harming and destroying ourselves and sending ourselves to injuries, early deaths, and to hell, via our choices and actions.
Next, no..."homosexual get saved too" false. Not in t be way that you're trying to portray. No, people who choose to be LGBT, and chose to STAY LGBT, will be saved and then allowed to still be LGBT......wake the hell from from that insane, delusion if you actually believe it.
Save your self from hell. And if you don't want to do that, AT LEAST to engage in trying to influence, mead astray and brain other humans to hell with you. That will make your punishment that much worse, after this life of over.
I advise you to repent if what you're doing and change. Good luck and God bless.
@@CeeJay611 which "god" are you referring to that "loves everyone"? According to "Psalms 11:5" The Most High God of The Holy Scriptures, HATES the wicked. So according to scripture, God does not love everyone. At least not in the sense of how the world views "love". Which is far too loosely and oftentimes where it does not apply. Besides, what's love got to do with it anyway? Love isn't the issue, SIN is.
@@michaelangelotaylor8th my dear why was Jesus sent into the world? Try John 3 16. You're right out vision of love is different from God. That's how come Jesus can love the person and hate the sin. Humans have it the other way around. Don't try to brainwash people against God. God is love and he that doesn't love his brother doesn't know God and he who hates his brother is as a murderer. Look up that scripture too. God still loves us with all of our many faults. Are you saying we should be doomed to hell? You don't have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. You speak the truth in love and let your light shine among men. That's why people are falling away from the church because people like you push people out. No one is saying to accept sin but God did create the person you're judging. You too will be standing at the judgement seat. Hope you make it in
Who are you supposed to ask about things righteous according to the Bible, the milkman? These people are lovers of the world not the word of God
To sum this video up. Marvin Sapp said to “keep your mouth shut”.
Otherwise you’ll jeopardize your status. This is his belief, however I would disagree this is the correct approach according to the Bible.
I agree with you 100. Youre one of few people who actually have a brain on this chat.
These "Pimps in the Pulpit" are never going to speak truthful from the Bible because they know if they taught the Bible, all of the gay people and fornicators will get mad and leave and take their money with them
All of these fake pastors preach whatever people WANT to hear, not what the Bible says, because they don't want to lose the money that they receive for lying!!
Facts!!! He is concerned over his coins 🤦🏾♂️
It’s a career not a calling. That’s what I took away.
so sad he as a Christian pastor he's scared to say what he wants and say what the Bible states, as a Muslim I'm apart of a religion that doesn't compromise its principles and we will defend our religion and all their beliefs, alhumdulillah
You are dumb and clueless of you think that Muslims don't compromise it's principles lmaoooo I work with a few Muslims and they don't always live what they preach.
Christian pastors do not tell people what the Bible says, they tell people what they want to hear so it won't take away from their money!! He even says he likes his lifestyle that money is able to afford him
@@rucianapollard7098 shouldn't be that way
Facts
I was raised Christian, but the older you get and the more you read, you realize that Christianity was basically a radical cult that went mainstream. Jesus did exist and was a great man, he would be aghast if he could see what the Christians have done with his name and image
What!? He just mentioned not doing anything that will jeopardize his paper. I would have thought he would have mentioned something along the lines of not dishonoring his Lord and savior
Me too. Makes you wonder.
He's giving a political answer for a spiritual problem.
Matthew 19:16 Must keep the commandments
No way I believe a person believes in GOD and operates in fear. There is no way you can love truly with fear in your heart
Everybody always trying to secure their bag instead of just being straightup on his with these type of questions god is watching you especially when you're financial freedom is based off of pushing god
No sin is greater then any other sin we have all come short of gods glory remember that💯💯
“I’m always going to sow mercy, because I want to receive mercy if it’s ever me!” Going on my vision board! Thank you Bishop!
Amen
It’s ok to show mercy but speak the truth that you know, you know
It’s amazing how when a “ Christian “ artists gets on these platforms , sooner or later they will ask the question about homosexuality trying to put them on blast
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY BUT I DON'T SAY ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO JEOPARDIZE MY FINANCIAL CAREER...
This whole interview was a blessing !
Because no one can judge another person. Only God and his word can judge.
LMFAOOOOOOOO
YALL FKN 🤪
Live what you're preaching and singing about.
If you really want to know the truth concerning any matter, READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF!! Read it!! Take heed to it!! Believe it!!! Live it!!!!
Im an atheist but I found his honesty about not being in any scandals totally refreshing. He knows the compromise of his witness as a minister could also impact his ability to maintain a financial lifestyle he feels is a blessing he worked hard for. I can respect that.
Right..he's valuing his lifestyle, "Practicing what he preaches."
Who would want to have to trick off their money, being caught up in scandals and having to get attorneys, etc..very smart.
Atheist?! Yall still exist?
No need to say you’re an atheist…
@@smoodiewavvz3897 yes, we're not some urban legend lol.
@@GReid-ol5gk Well if we live in a 3 dimensional space and time is the 4th. We travel back in fourth through time within our minds. So there must be a 5th dimension were we go when we die if were vibrating fast enough. If not you just come back to earth. There no escape only ascension.
I remember Marvin Sapp singing with the gospel group Comissioned feat Fred Hammond the CD that Marvin was debuted on was the number 7 CD if you never heard the CD check it out its one of Commissiones greatest CDs ever ..Marvin sapp sings on it and he was killing it ..just going in on songs like King of glory and he sings on matters of the heart with the song Love is the way another Gospel banger feat chucking booker as producer ..look it up man Fred Hammond discovered him and signed him on the group as a new second lead behind him because Fred Hammond had plans of leaving the group..so he wanted someone to take up the mantel strong enough to keep the sound and Marvin's voice was on point to do so...eventually Marvin saw that the style and the times were changing as well just like Fred Hammond so after three CDs with Commissioned he left as well to record his solo projects
Dominion was my jam back in the 90's with Sapp on it. His first solo album is still my favorite
I’ve been “close” for a looooooong time.
The pay off is coming to me soon.
In Jesus’ name.
🙏🏿
I think a Preacher should not "preach what he believes" but preach the truth , preach what God said in the Bible
The goal is to restore. There is no other answer. He said it right.
It is for your witness to the world and your reverence for the LORD that we don’t do crazy stuff…I hear him in the money, but the FIRST is God is watching.
He's speaking just the way someone who claims to be a Christian would speak, totally evading the truth. He said , "not to overlook what they've done and should be reprimanded", then say "I don't judge Eddie Long"
He's scared !
How sway? Should he act as God? Would you liked it better if he denounced Eddie?
Eddie never admitted to anything either and said no one can judge him
@@sashalong8976 of course he wouldn't admit anything, duh! The evidence speaks volumes.
This way people can't be delivered,preacher's want be honest. Marvin wants to keep his money
5:40 I HOPE YALL CAUGHT THAT BOTTOM LINE ‼️🥺 read between the lines the gospel industry in currently changing
Standup for Yah! Always wanna be loved by the world that’s the problem
I grew up in the black church and Gay ppl have always been in the black church if your Choir was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 it's a 90% chance the choir director was gay🤣🤣🤣
Lol
True that. That's why he can't answer the question honestly.
my cousin asked if I wanted to be the director of the children's choir. Me being a single man and never married I straight up told her no.
Not all our like that
@@cchrizzy219 not all are like that
From this interview I can see that the actions of his faith are self-serving.
I thought this was warren Sapp lol
I thought he was his dad 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆 LMAO
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. GOD SAID YOU WILL TELL MINE BY THERE FRUIT. THE WORD IS GOD YOU CANT GET AROUND IT YOU MUST STAND ON GOD'S WORD NO MATTER WHAT. YOU CAN'T SERVE TO MASTERS BELIEVE THAT ❤️
This man is so amazing! Thank you for breaking it down for us. The way you prayed for the victims and the fallen is humbled me.
Damn he hopped, skipped, and jumped around this conversation.
💰
The love of money and men pleasing😢
Old weak man that calls himself a Bishop
What is him saying homosexuality is wrong going to do anyway though
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homosexuality is Def wrong and against God it's no doubt about it. So is all the other sins that the Bible speaks on. I don't know why some Christians have a hard time denouncing sins but the Bible is very clear that anyone who practices any sin will meet his wrath!
Marvin Sapp is a little to coward to give it to you straight but I’ll give it to you. Homosexuality is a sin!! Matthew 19:4-6 1 Corinthians 6:9 Roman’s 1:27 1 Timothy 1:10. He’s still a little boy in spirit to proclaim the guts of Gods revelation. for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. The wages of sin is death. This modern pastors are very watered very down
Very.Peace
Preach brother. The answer was simple. I will say 95% of these gospel artists are nothing but demonic people.
That man isn't going to preach from the scriptures!!! He told y'all he wasn't about to mess up his money!!!
@@rucianapollard7098 What does that tell you? He serves money rather than God. But don’t forget he also said he only going to proclaim Christ but at the same time he is going to keep scriptures a secret?! John 12:43~For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches at the same time. This tells he’s false coward unless he repents
@@rucianapollard7098 Period.Peace
Great interview, he was very careful responding to questions that seemed controversial
Exactly!!! Because you have to be careful with not offending people….
Be born again I love it. No sin is great than another all sin is sin and God is the judge. We as preachers just preach truth let's ears hear, hearts change and may God mercy and grace reign. Great Interview
Biblically, there are sins greater than others. Do you believe stealing a grape is the same as raping a child? Let’s study and think before we just say things. You are correct in saying that we should preach truth and pray the heart changes
There are levels to sin. As a society when you start accepting the LGBTQ mentality you are near the point of Sodom and Gomorrah. It didn't start at homosexuality, that's the result of sin progressively getting worse and worse in your society. First sexual immorality becomes more normalized, then homosexuality, abortion is a result of that, and eventually an evil society gets to the point of transsexualism. Men and women trying to change what GOD made them to be and the glory HE meant for them to show as HIS creation. It ultimately goes back to the Garden of Eden. You're still choosing to disobey GOD's command. You have turned away from HIM and ignored HIS Voice. That's the start of idol worship. When a person chooses to believe what GOD said and made you to be isn't true.
He gonna have a scandal now that you interviewed him. Dang Leave him alone. His songs saved my life! God be with you Marvin🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
It was GOD that saved your life only. Not a man that sing songs
I wish you would ask him about how he got started about his songwriting about his music about being called to the gospel instead of asking about other people. Marvin Sapp is such an amazing man and gospel singer ask him about that
I'm a dummy, I had been looking at all these thumbnails thinking they were interviewing former NFL player WARREN Sapp
🤣🤣🤣
I swear me too man 😂
Very well said Mr. Sapp. If more Christians were like you, the world would be a better place. You are a great example of a spiritual leader and teacher who preaches love and helping our fellow man, without playing God and being judgemental. Your answer was very well said and intelligent. The LGBTQIA Community cannot be upset with you. You spoke your truth without judgement or condemnation in your heart. Kudos to you sir!!!
He did not dance around the question at all he used decretion in how he answered it
And those answers are how Marvin don't have any scandals he says and answers what they want him to Marvin just sad
I can't take Sapp serious
The interviewer should of asked the direct questions dealing with that, but the pastor answered how he would handle it, although not giving the scripture like he did previously, you have to be a bold solider.
Wow! I’m a little stunned by the response regarding not having scandals. I heard a lot about not messing up the stuff and lifestyle versus displeasing God. I really expected more of a biblical perspective since as he says he’s a minister of Jesus Christ. I totally that as believers we’re into restoring but our goal should also be to cry aloud and tell what the word says not our opinions. I’ve fallen short in this area too and I pray God strengthens His Body to stand strong under the world’s pressure.
He was right for what he said that's exactly what we are supposed to do but he did say not only pray but reprimand the person he said he believes in a man and woman being together he also said he can't justify being who he is by church
Gracefully spoken cause we all fall short to the glory of God and it’s no little sin or big sin but remember we fight against not flesh and blood but principalities and powers in high places
This statement is true but the problem is that it’s excusing people to stay in there sin. N compromising with your sin is the problem
@@yeesssiir9680 you was born in sin through Christ you are born again
@@michellewilson7226 agreed and if you are born again that means you don’t practice sin according to Romans the 6 chapter
@@michellewilson7226 but that's the thing, he didn't identify it as sin, either big or small. That wasn't "gracefully" spoken, but rather cowardly spoken.
There's no little sin or big sin? It's funny how he doesn't call stealing, or even adultery an abomination🤔 maybe you need to study your Bible instead of listening to overweight pork chop eating Hustlers like this. The greatest sin is worshiping other gods other than the most high of the Bible, so when you put your Christmas tree up like Mr Sapp here just remember you're not worshiping the god of the Bible and you're committing the greatest sin.
I felt the tension with this topic lol
That’s why I love Pastor Fred Price , and Apostle Mike Freeman the both of these true men of God are very bold when talking about homosexuality , they don’t dance around the subject they teach the Bible and live the Bible Period !
Amen!
Bishop Patrick Lane Wooden Sr of Raleigh, NC as well!
Neither does Dr. Tony Evans
Add the late-great Pastor Stephen Darby (RIP) to that list, as well 🙏🏾
Well said on responding to Eddie Long's accusations, that was like preaching a sermon, I received that.
Love you Pastor Sapp, God bless you!💙💙💙🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Gino Jennings were are you? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
MARVIN SAPP, is awesome I listen to all of his music!!!! The best of me
He answered the question perfectly. I think ppl are confused and rush to say and believe anything without fully researching it for themselves.
95% of Christians
Marvin danced so much, he might need to come up out that sweater soon😓
I agree, we must never put ourselves in compromising situations, because God said, Galatians 6:7 For God is Not mocked whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap!!
Just love!!!!! Don’t judge a thing before it’s time. Only God knows. By the way don’t forget about all the secret things we all have done or doing that only God can see. Love heals love doesn’t shame.
I believe Love is the greatest commandment.
Peace and stay calm and keep loving each other and God.
It’s not judging necessarily; it could an opinion but he’s speaking from the perspective of GOD and The Bible in regards to homosexuality/
You clearly don’t know god. God HATES feet that are quick to rush towards the wicked
Amen this is facts. Happened right before I got a place and was no longer homeless🕊🕊🕊
Praise God 🙏
Truly we love the Lord's Ministry Gift in Bishop Marvin Sapp
Profit preachers are more concerned about getting dollars than preaching to save souls. You’ve got to preach the whole Bible without being worried about losing your so called lifestyle.
Awesome!!! Beautifully stated comments, every response. ❤️
Yeah I see that, as well...👏💯💪🏾
