right on
It's a dame shame she is no longer with us.
We are in dire need for people like that and every time a person like that dies they are not being replaced.
Every time a genius dies the world dies a little bit more.
Not true. They are always being replaced. Remove “lack mentality” and remember that the universe is abundant. In fact, she may have already incarnated back. Along with thousands of others, ready and capable of making a big difference in the world.
@@RodneyDodson i’m sorry, christians generally don’t believe in reincarnation
@@deansbian5607 I know, right? If they only knew... Reincarnation is no longer part of today’s Christian beliefs due to one power-hungry woman who had all references to reincarnation in the early Bible removed.
At the beginning of the Christian era, reincarnation was one of the pillars of belief. Without it (as later happened), Christianity would lose all logic. How could a benevolent, loving God give one person a silver spoon and leave the next to starve in their ostensibly only earthly life? Early Church elders and theologians, like Origenes, Basilides, and St Gregory, taught reincarnation of the soul as a matter of course-it was written in the Bible, after all. Nowadays, most Christians suspect blasphemy if someone references reincarnation. Empress Theodora had reincarnation removed from the Bible in the year 553AD.
Think of all the stories she could have made up since then! She's doing a Left-Wing version of faith healing here. Obviously a Communist Plant.
This woman is FAR from the teachings of the bible. Which is how she can be such a loving beautiful human being. I wish I had her in my life as a close friend.
mgpvii Because the bible is full of hate and judgementalism. She is a wonderful loving person. The bible commands people to be put to death who are gay, not virgins on their wedding night, children who sass their parents, and on and on.
You also are far from the bible. Because you are a loving wonderful decent person.
David Manhart where in the bible is this? Chapter and verse? New testament with jesus in my life has never direct me into hateful roads. Love is love no matter who or what. And I love because jesus is love. Please do not generalize.
***** Very well thought out and expressed sir.
*****
mgpvii The bible specifically says gays should be stoned to death (not lesbians though, nothing in the bible against lesbians).
Other people who are far from the teachings of the bible are those against slavery, against stoning to death women who are not virgins on their wedding day, etc.
Sorry, but that is just a fact.
The thing about being gay is you hurt so bad that when you finally get a lover every kiss tastes like sugar on your lips.
Melissa Robinson true
Err no but go on I dig this middle school poetry. ❤️
@@MFRUclips683 it was true for me.
gag
@@MFRUclips683poetry huh? If it's a simple poem give us your analysis. Is it metaphor or metonymy?
What a wonderful story. My mother was shocked to hear me say I never describe myself as a Christian because I've come to associate the term with so much hatred and intolerance. Then I hear this incredible lady and know that many Christians actually are very accepting, it's just unfortunate that it's the intolerant one's who get all the publicity. Thanks for posting this-you've really made my day.
OLD PEOPLE ARE THE CUTEST IDK WHY BUT THEY ARE
mink dio You think so Mink. Then marry me! :P
David Bradford lol
OML true mate true .... Am I late :3
What can i say about being gay
Every look is a cut
Every word is scar
Every act is a disease
But every moment is a band-aid
Every hug is a remedy
Every kiss is a memory
Every support is one life saved
Beautifully said!
chin up. I always thought i was a great person and realize that in life no matter what...you can't please everyone, no matter how good you are. Do your best and ignore the haters. Take care my friend. Castor Fernandez (artist)
It’s not the kind of life that should be saved. Ya’ll seem to hate yourselves, anyway. I’m not suprised.
@@mycowhy Typical Christian attitude.
@@mycowhy Most are criminals and if you don't banish them from your house, they'll steal from you sooner or later.
Take the religious connotations out and this is one great speech...
Actually for this atheist it is refreshing to come across a Christian Movement like this standing up for the LGBTI community, and overcoming their own bigotry and prejudices to speak out and help bring change to others. This is what actually makes it a better speech. The only way to effectively bring change is from within...Love Peace and Harmony for all peoples everywhere.. Paul Connelly Australia.
She sounds like an atheist. Great and wise woman.
Or possibly an Agnostic.
See kept saying "lord" and said stuff about praying, though. That's not a bad thing, but I'm wondering how you came to an atheist conclusion?
I did not say she is an atheist, I said she sounds like an atheist, or in other words, she speaks like one. Her words are not typical of Christians, who for the most part are discriminatory and self righteous.
Atheists are not bigoted like religious people. They don't discriminate because of belief in a book that promotes separation, exclusivity, and hate against those who are different, or who believe something different.
This woman is religious, but she is just one of a handful. In fact, most Christians would treat her with hostility for 'preaching' contrary to their beliefs, and their (un)holy book.
Christopher Kennedy
Oh, okay. I would argue that that's a negative stereotype about Christians... but... that's been my experience with most Christians, too.
Christopher Kennedy Not to make it sound like it's the one major contributing factor in the issue. But I think it has a lot to do with where one lives. To say that most Christians are like that I suppose depends on where you are. I think that there are A GOOD NUMBER rather than most, but there just as there are many who are very unkind, there are as well many who are very kind. Perhaps also to the point of saying that she sounds like an atheist, do you mean to say that no atheists do such things? I realize that if we speak specifically about it in comparison to how Christians use the bible then of course the answer is no, but there are indeed a number who don't even go that far and simply use hate speech. I'd like to end off this comment by saying that I was raised Catholic and still consider myself somewhat even if not practicing at the moment, but what truly tires me to no end is trying to help bridge the gap of others when it comes understanding the nature of the relationship between gay people and organized religion. I have no struggles of this myself and have worked for a long time to get there. I will just say that everything is not what it seems and people can surprise you. Also btw I'm gay.
i love this woman!
we need 100,000 just like her.
we need 7 billion like her.
Tadzio5050 we that times a trillion
WOW! I have an amazingly high degree of admiration for such an amazing lady!
Thanks a lot Barbara Johnson
all these bible quote-rs need to remember if they actually read the bible "all sin is equal to another" that goes for wondering thoughts, eating too much/gluttony, steeling, lying, murder, drinking, harsh words and much more. if someone is truly christian they should know you cant personally choose which sins should be treated more harshly than another. this woman is good and it would be nice if more would listen to her. we are all sinners no one is perfect, some people need to remember that
It's a terrible shame that she nearly lost her son to realize her mistake, but I'm glad she owned up to it and is now working towards helping others in her situation. What a lovely woman.
My name is Leila Spiderah. I go to an international high school. I am a Christian and I am a lesbian. Two of my friends are Muslim and one of them is Jewish. One of my friends is also a lesbian and an atheist. I believe that God loves all. If me and all of my friends can get along even with all of our differences then why can't you?! If two people are in love then they shouldn't be scared to show it. And to all of you who say that GAYS AREN'T BORN well they are. If you're straight then you know that you get crushes on people. You can't help it. Neither can we! I have crushes on girls that I can't help. Have some empathy! WE ALL DESERVE RESPECT.
This is truly a woman who knows Christ and doesn't wear the cross as a sword like so many do!
444Centaur Jesus never went FOR homophobia, either.
MrDissidiaFan
If Jesus did exist, then he may have been gay. After all, the stories say he only liked to hang out with 12 men, and he never had a girlfriend. Totally gay.
And there's nothing wrong with that. If he was gay, then that's his business and we should stay out of it.
444Centaur I do know there's nothing wrong with that, but I have a different opinion about Jesus. I think he was asexual.
Possibly. But that doesn't mean he even existed, and it certainly doesn't mean he was some zombie who can come back from the dead. That never happened. It's a fairytale.
+Zach m Excellent post! Totally agree with you. Many so called Christian claim to know God but their fruits show they got no clue.
That was truly beautiful! almost made me cry! Thank you!
i completely love this women.
Great and wise woman. people like her are the reason there still is hope for human kind
that actually made me tear up a little when she said that he wanted her to come to his party!
Please cite a peer-reviewed study or reputable medical organisation supporting your claim. The Royal College of Psychiatrists: "Despite almost a century of psychoanalytic and psychological speculation, there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that the nature of parenting or early childhood experiences have any role in the formation of a person’s fundamental heterosexual or homosexual orientation".
She's hilarious!!!
+Marcus NL she have a good heart
+kolent52 indeed she had a good heart. Sad she died at such a young age
Marcus NL oh you really mean that she die?
If your religious try this pray to your god ask him for something like some coins for example if he is real they will be right in front of you when you open your eyes if nothing appears in front of you then sky god aint real
Oh my god it works thank you so much
Let people believe.
I'm gay and I believe that everyone needs to accept it completely.
Bravo Barbara Johnson. Thank you for showing the compassion that exemplifies the whole reason a man hung on the cross, tortured by his persecutors yet died forgiving them. That my friend is not only grace, but classy!!!
Really nice speech, shes really funny but also right.
God gave you your son or daughter the way He wanted them to be. To reject them is to reject God's gift.
Adultery is in the Ten Commandments.
Gay is not.
God put Adultery in and left Gay out for a reason: He hates one more than the other.
Are you smart enough to figure out which one?
If your church teaches you to hate,
You need a new church.
David. I want to ask you please don’t let the teachings and the legacy of your Mom’s ministry and yours get lost. There is so much people, that are in desperate need of listen what she said and what she taught. Please David if you are still out there somewhere or if there is a way that people who was part of the Spatula Ministry keep the flame alive please don’t let the light and the testimony of this beautiful and wise woman disappear. Not just for this generation but for the generation to come.
Wow! I take it all back. With razor sharp come backs like that, the Human race needs you!
Love this lady
Keep lying to yourself gayboy :) When you get out of the closet, remember this: We still love you!
I think this is a very sweet woman. Charming, no nonsense type gal. The world needs more like her. Tolerance and understanding should be the way no matter what 1 sexuality or religion! Grow up commenters!
Honestly I really needed this right now, such a great story.
Aw. this just made me feel so happy inside. Thank goodness the Dad gave his son a chance, because there is nothing sadder than families being torn apart over something so inane.
This Lady Is So Amazing (:
I Love What She Was Saying
I Wanna Meet Her !
Maybe Because Im Bi Sexual lol
Just because somebody doesn't quite agree with homosexuality doesn't mean they are "homophobic" ..
So you choose not to accept them for who they are. Fascinating.
I love this lady
so...they're more worried about cancelling the party and the 500 guests and not the fact that their family is imploding...some people don't deserve to be parents...
when my son told me he was gay, i hugged him and said " at least this way you don't have to raise any kids, you'll have all that extra money to enjoy life "
I don't understand why anybody would dislike this video.
having a different opinion doesnt make someone ignorant.
Bullying a kid who admits to a differing lifestyle is really foul. The person is direct & honest w/ you & you beat up on that person.... Nasty shits.
That was so funny , but warm and funny.This lady is obviously very comfortable talking in front of an audience, I like the ad lib's, brilliant.The best bit...she got an invite!!
This lady is my new inspiration.
And if he *is* her king, he should treat her like a queen.
This... is how we spread tolerance. You don't have to like it, heck you don't even have to believe it! But everyone deserves love and respect, regardless of sexual orientation.
How refreshing to hear a religious person with a southern accent actually come from a perspective of love and tolerance - my dear, you are living a Christian life.
Thank you Barbara Johnson for your kind and wise words.
yes, son is gay and rich
Everything you said in your post is 110% correct
Ah well, humans tend to call someone a fool if they don't agree with that person's views. Perfectly natural and common.
A phobia is something you're born with.
she has a beautiful soul. I wish more Christians had the same unconditional love.
That father is a CEO and he cannot manage his temper, for real that father has fail as a father, his behavior makes him a Big Loser, he is losing the respect and love from his son.
Being a gay is about as natural as finding a green elephant.
Yeah, true. Thank goodness for people like you.
It's good to know you didn't do what a neighbor of my girlfriend did. He committed suicide only weeks ago. Poor kid, had parents just as stupid and hateful as planefan. It's always sad when parents can't support their children because they have such barriers in their heads.
I hope your family either comes to terms with it or won't bother you anymore. Wish you the best and that you find your 'special someone' ;)
i would like to share this on fb....
unfortunately i can't.. This woman is simply great and amazing. I love her!:)
I absolutely LOVE this woman.
It's normal for non-gay men to be homophobic. I just moved away from my parents and haven't heard of them since.
Be who you are, not want you think people want you to be. Then the fight is over. You will be fighting all your life if you don't!
This lady is what a true Christian surpose to be Most others miss the mark and she is the light that shines among the dry bones.
thank you my mama. and thank you pink lady. amzing how she got something good back from doing something good herself.
its not about religion...and not about being homophobic..its about logic
He has every right to say what he wants on the internet. And we have every right to use the thumbs down button if we don't like it. I certainly don't want to see what he says to say after reading it, but that's how public forums work. This is a forum, meant to cultivate opinions. If comments were only limited to praises of the video that would make them worthless. I am certainly not saying what he is saying counts as legitimate criticisms, it's just the price we pay for free speech.
Being gay is about as natural as a green elephant.
He is a lie until proven with sufficient evidence
Being a gay is about as natural as a green elephant and you know it pal.
Normal!!?? LMFAO!! About as normal as a Green elephant!!
Who is this sweet, wonderful, woman?
and let's not forget the arguement that was actually used in the supreme court case of the Lovings vs Virginia case, "If God had intended blacks and whites to marry, he wouldn't have put us on different continents."
Wow, I like this lady! Thank you Barbara Johnson
Homophobia has nothing to do with gay people, nobody is afraid of gay people.
Also, I stand corrected. Thank you.
you a great person, don't listen to those selfish bigots
Why doesn't people tries to see it from the father's side!!
See? I hate it when people say im homophobic when I say that I disagree about being gay. These people make assumptions lightning fast when they dont know 1/79 of the truth and it is really wrong.
He's her husband. Not her king.
This is one smart lady
I think this woman is fantasic =D I love hearing some positive views for a change. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean u have to be hateful about it ♥
I believe that and so does almost everyone on this Earth.
It's so bizarre to me how much hate people have towards people they don't even know just because they are gay.
Well I'm gay and what I have learned is that I must love myself and those around me more and more each day, there is enough hate and misery in the world without their ignorant rambling!
What a wonderful woman.
CANCEL THE PARTY
Don't let MTG and others revive this bunk please
Because I believed in the ignorant, bigoted homophobia that gets passed off as "Christianity," I lived a single, celibate life for 30 long years (after being married to a woman for five years.) I prayed constantly for God to take away the "curse" of being only sexually attracted by men, to no avail. I am just as Gay today as I was over 45 years ago. I finally came to understand that He was always answering my prayers, I just wasn't listening: my sexuality is a gift from God, not a curse.
"...but I'm still a good person..." A lot of name calling for such a good person.
That is what I was trying to to explain. Thank you for helping me clarify that. As you can see, the argument is displayed right above this comment. Tell me what you think on the whole after you've read it all.
What a quirky, humourous, open, beautiful person. This is the kind of person I could spend my life with!^^
I'm an atheist, but this lady is a saint!
There is no such thing as normal.
Child molesters don't try to enter a meaningful relationship with other consenting child molesters.
I've heard enough slippery slopes to know they are.
Your parents: Having Kyran was fine, but lets be honest its better to have a different child
I know that part. You'd think for a "47" year old, he'd be more mature than a five year old.
Unconditional love does not exist. All love is conditional; the resason for loving your child? Because it is your child.
Not just because their your child.
Correction, it's WONDERFUL to be gay :)
Woah, I remember you.
This was posted after her death in 2007 of brain cancer..
That's what I say...if two people of the same sex want to tie the knot? Their choice, not mine.
