    Thank you for this video. I am gay. Years ago I believed that I could be gay and Christian, just in the manner you so aptly described. This did not last, however, as ultimately I was unable to truly reconcile the gay liffestyle with Christianity. I ended up becoming an atheist, not purely for this reason, but one of many reasons that I won't go into at this time. I listened to so much about being born this way, just being who I am, Jesus never spoke on homosexuality, and even gay churches and such. One thing I always noticed which prevented me from buying into the notion was the simple fact that they were all tap dancing around the issue, distorting facts, and bending over backwards to make it ok within the confines of Christianity. It all seemed very insincere to me and their view on things just did not add up.
    In my thirteen years of atheism, I partook in homosexual activity, was a vocal supporter of gay rights and gay marriage, and scoffed at Christianity. During the last few years, I settled down and stopped arguing. Honestly, I looked at the homosexual lifestyle and saw a lot that I did not like. There is so much jealousy, cattiness, and a party atmosphere all of the time. Being rather old fashioned, I looked for something more and could never find it. It always seemed to be sex first, and sexuality was the center of everything rather than merely being one aspect of the person. I could never let go of my hope of meeting a good man and having a real relationship, and thus I ended up feeling like I did not fit in with the gay community. I was even told once that I was too conservative. Well, that is something I can't really change. I speak for no one but myself with this post.
    When I finally stopped rebelling and turned back to God, he began working on me in ways that seemed impossible so many years ago. Now, I have learned to give my problems to God rather than trying to fix them on my own in an effort to please God. I prayed about whether I could ever have companionship, and in my heart God answered me and made it clear that He does not want me to live the homosexual lifestyle. He has taken a great bit of the temptations and urges away, but not all. I mean, I know I am still gay. I know that I have no desire to be with women. Yet I no longer chase after the gay lifestyle. I accept this, and in a way that no one can understand, I am fine with it. I know God has a plan for me and I know He continues to work it all out. Temptation is still there at times and there is no expectation of changing that, but I have learned through God to be ok with it. The struggle is gone, as now I see clearly and place my faith in something more than what this Earthly realm can offer.
    I know many out there would roll their eyes at me, or feel sorry for me because I am trapped by religion, but those people will never be able to understand what it is to have peace and acceptance about it as I look more to God. I am happy, and the whole gay thing doesn't really cast a spell over me like it once did. God has taken those things and made it bearable. This is something I never thought I would say, but I never thought it because I did not know how to truly leave it in God's hands. THIS is who I am now, and I am thankful to the Lord for it!

Allow the holy spirit to guide you. When you come to full repentance, you'll know you're being transformed. Right now, you're kidding yourself when you tell us you have turned completely to God but you're still gay. You can't have both.

      ​@M C We should be correcting people. Not because we are God but because no one will take a cure for a disease they do not know they have-sin. Therefore we should be warning people of hell and judgement day and begging that they repent and trust in God. John 7:24 says to judge with righteous judgement. 1 Peter 3:15 also says to be ready to give answers to those who ask the reason for the hope that is in you, but to do it with gentleness and respect. So in conclusion, we should correct/judge with righteousness. Especially if we, as Christians, know that they will end up in hell if they do not repent and trust in the Savior. Always remember [as an example] that God considers hatred to be murder, which means His standards are way higher than ours. And on judgement day, many people will go to hell simply because they were not warned that the sin they were holding on to so tightly would eventually drag them to hell. This isn't targeted at homosexuality, it is targeted at ALL sins. If you call yourself a Christian but are still a fornicator, idolater, adulterer, homosexual, sodomite, thief, coveter, drunkard, reviler, or extortioner, then you are not a Christian for one reason: you have yet to repent.

    Allen, I watch your videos often, and I appreciate everything you stand on. You don’t sugar coat anything, and I love that God has put you out there to tell people about the Gospel.
    Man, I lived that life as a homosexual for 11 years. 11 years!! I’m a PK, and I grew up in church. I knew God was real, I believe that I was saved when I was younger, but after the last several years of living that life, it got dark. (The Bible says sin is fun for a season). I knew something was missing.. & God started giving me dreams of the rapture.. I was doing other sinful things along with that lifestyle that slowly crept upon me.. I was a slave to sin, but God spoke to me and told me to choose. Back in December of 19, I started getting more into the word. I’ve had several struggles since then, but God has helped me through it. One night I felt the Lord speak to me heart and just told me to let it go... and I did!! I asked Him to come into my heart, and pleaded for His forgiveness. The feeling I felt inside was just indescribable. Satan has me convinced for a long time that I wasn’t saved, and that I was a reprobate. When I started listening to God, one day I was in the car, driving down the road and I felt God’s presence so strongly that I bursted out in tears! I felt Him in my heart, and I honestly knew in that very moment that I was 110% assured that I was saved. I begged and pleaded for His forgiveness and felt His love so strongly. I was crying so hard that I couldn’t even see the road, & He was there guiding me. I no longer live in that lifestyle through Jesus Christ, the Savior. I’m so happy that I gave all that up because God has shown me that I can overcome through Him. God has taught me self discipline, and God is the ONLY man I need to be in a relationship with. HE gives me everything and more than any man could ever give. Actually, I’ve prayed for awhile that he will give me the attraction for women, and He has!! Anything is possible with God!! His love sustains me! He lifts me up, and He loves me! For who I am through Him!! I am forgiven of those choices that I made. He is a wonderful and mighty God!!

It’s quite obvious you’re an atheist, or more precisely an anti theist, so what possible interest do you have in THIS perspective on THIS topic?

God sees the body of Christ as a family, not a dysfunctional family. I went through and still are going through a very dysfunctional family.
      I've been physically abused, sexually abused, and being manipulated by my Earthly father. But I have a Heavenly Father that accepts me for who I am in christ. I don't care if I was gay or disability. My Earthly father did not accept who I was and he did not act like a father.

    Thank you for this video. You hit it on the nail. Ever since I was a child, I was always attracted to males. When I was born again, my eyes were opened. I realized, my sinful nature was always going to come up, but I had to remember what the Word said and put it to use. Living by the Spirit does give us self control. The renewal of our minds which happens when we walk with God changes our perspective of how we see life, other people, and OURSELVES. With God, all things are possible.

      do you still have attraction to men? sexually? If so, you're still homosexual. Homosexuality doesn't really mean lifestyle, practice or action, it means it's an identity for a person who's still attracted to a same-sex. Even you practice it, disregard it, the fact that you find attraction to men, especially sexually, you will still be identified as gay. Because Straight people are identified to be attracted to opposite sex.
      Action is a choice. Don't compare homosexuality with attraction to cigarettes, that's a different thing.

It was his natures as man and as God that enabled him and provided the strength to fight and to win. We are doing pretty good when we realize our sins and try to be mindful of their effects. God wants us to enjoy the life he was gifted to us. It is not healthy to have an ongoing struggle with sin. You do not need prayers. God has given us all great powers that we do not hone. Try to find a way to be mindful of sin without obsessing. Don't be an obsessive-compulsive Christian. All of us have hands that get a little dirty now and again. That doesn't mean we have to spend 24 hours a day washing them. Live, cherish, and truly experience the life you were gifted.

Tell the kids that have gotten kicked out of home that they're lying to their parents that they can't "repent" from a secsual orientation. Tell the broken families where gay men were advised to marry women because "it's God's plan" that they're lying that they can't make it work. Tell the people who took their lives because they were led to believe that God won't accept them and found themselves unable to make themselves "acceptable".
      The church's beliefs on this matter have been a total disaster and - get this - they keep changing their beliefs because it simply doesn't "work". first it was being homaseksual was a sin. but then they weren't able to "repent" and ended up suisidel when they tried. so then it's a sinful desire. so life becomes an unbearable struggle. now it's yeah it's a natural variation like science says but God says no so you have to stay single all your life - in direct violation of God's word.

      there are differences in the term of love. for example I love LGBT people, I don't love them as romantic affection, nor erotic affection, I love them as my neighbor.
      Love thy neighbor as thyself.
      I even have some enemies, but I too love them
      what is not okay however is 'loving' the same sex, which is actually the cause of lusting after one another, perhaps there's a mix of distorted love and lust.
      regardless, since the bible is the Word of God, and it has been proven throughout history, the objective truth of God> people's following their heart.
      Jeremiah 17:9-
      The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

      pastor brian - I think Christians should be able to show love to those dealing with same sex issues. Part of the problem is the use of secular humanist culturally constructed words like “homophobic” that imply a fear of homosexuality and actually shut down any constructive conversation. All Christians must gently instruct others of the real dangers of same sex behavior. That is not homophobic but rather wise counsel spoken in love.

      @@theninjasquad3956 yeah people keep quoting the same passages over and over but they have been misinterpreted and even mistranslated.
      1Co6 does not say "homosexuals", it says ἀρσενοκοῖται which no one knows exactly what it means. Some people argue it means "homosexuals" but that's only an interpretation.
      Ro1 talks about people turning to idolatry and God letting them exchange opposite-sex relations with lustful same-sex ones. That aptly describes ancient Roman practices where heterosexuals would have sex with same-sex prostitutes and slaves and boys. It fails to describe same-sex orientation, especially for children born in Christian families who reach puberty and come out as gay: no idolatry, no changing sexuality, no lust!
      Lev18 doesn't say "don't have sex with people of the same sex." It says "men shouldn't have sex with men in the same way that men do it with women". There are various interpretations but no one is sure what that means anymore and since the Law of Moses no longer applies, you can't really use it unless you're sure of it's scope and purpose.
      In addition, given the massive psychological harm caused by this misinterpretation, it has to stop.

He then asked me if I struggled with sexual sin I replied yes and he admitted he did also. he then asked if I had ever fallen and I reluctantly admitted I had he then admitted the same thing then asked had God or would God forgive me and him? it was then that I saw that I had placed his particular sin on a higher level than mine.

      Roman's 8: 30 - 47
      Truth and Freedom
      30 As He was saying these things, many believed in Him. 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
      33 “We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered Him, “and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will become free’?”
      34 Jesus responded, “I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever. 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free. 37 I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill Me because My word is not welcome among you. 38 I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father; therefore, you do what you have heard from your father.”
      39 “Our father is Abraham!” they replied.
      “If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did. 40 But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this! 41 You’re doing what your father does.”
      “We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father-God.”
      42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me. 43 Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me? 47 The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”
      I pray right now that you will find the truth in Jesus.
      I promise that you'll be glad you did. I'm a living testimony of a life that was dark and I thought it was okay. I did what I wanted without a care. But by the Grace of God through my Mother's prayers I surrendered my life to Christ and was born again. I will be Forever grateful to God.

      Like Elizabeth Ashley said or as I’m interpreting, by lifestyle people mean that those in that lifestyle continue in the sin not fighting against the temptation. I think that that’s the biggest difference.
      This is great that Christians are talking about things like this. I think we first need to define Christian and then define what we think it takes to get to heaven. What it means to sin versus live in sin.
      I don’t believe that homosexuality or anyone that is living in a sinful lifestyle should be in a position of leadership in a church and I do not believe that if they continue in that sin they will go to heaven. We have to repent and turn away from sin not live in it and not condone it either.

    I am a gay Christian and I want to respond to this:
    “You do not as a homosexual Christian, get a free pass to be able to indulge in everything that you wanna do while the rest of us simply have to struggle and live a life of self discipline self denial and self control.”
    So you are claiming that by us wanting equal rights to marry (same sex marriage) we are wanting a free pass to do what we want while the heterosexuals have to discipline. But honestly, it is the OPPOSITE. Marriage is a “free pass” for heterosexuals ONLY to fall in love, consummate their sexuality, and have a life long partner - while homosexuals are expected to live a lifelong celibacy despite having feelings for people of the same sex.
    Almost all people have sexual temptation. In 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 it speaks about how it is better not to marry, but because of the temptation to sin sexually God designed marriage. And it gives instructions on how to keep that marriage Holy. It ends with verses 8 & 9 saying it’s good to remain unmarried, but if they do not have self-control, let them be married, for it is better to be married then to BURN WITH PASSION.
    If God loves everyone equally, why does this not apply equally to homosexuals such as myself? I have a heart and a need for love and a companionship. Right back as far as Genesis 2:18, it says “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” I’m sorry, but a woman is not a suitable partner for me. She just isn’t. A man is.
    The reason all homosexual acts are sin is because you will NOT LET US MARRY. And what are the fruits of that? Burning with passion! Look at LGBT+ pride. Look at gay clubs. Hook up apps like Grindr. There is prostitution, fornication, disease, lust, and tons of sexual immorality in the LGBT+ community and it’s not because of an innate evil homosexual attraction that we’ve somehow acquired. It’s because these people are not allowed to freely and openly express themselves and marry and so they burn with passion. But the Bible itself says it’s better to be married than to burn with passion! The logical thing in my mind is simply to give LGBT+ people equal rights. Then this issue would not be such a big issue. The LGBT+ community would not be in such a state of lust. And the anger and militancy that this community has toward the church comes from decades and decades of harmful discrimination - something I am sure Jesus would despise and speak against. Because the most important commandment is LOVE.
    I simply cannot believe that all LGBT+ people are expected to remain single and celibate and burning with passion, while the heterosexuals are allowed an outlet for that so that they can live Holy lives in marriage. Give us marriage so that our community can HEAL from the pool of lust and sexual immorality that we are trapped within!
    You and many other loving Christians who are against homosexuality and same-sex marriage will say that homosexuals have the same rules that heterosexuals do. We DON’T. Heterosexuals have marriage so that they can keep their temptations under control and live Holy lives with suitable partners. Homosexuals don’t have marriage and are expected to live a lonely life of celibacy and abstinence, burning with passion and an increased temptation to sin.
    And I will end this by saying that I can tell you FIRSTHAND… being gay is not a choice. I don’t know if it’s something we are born with as a baby or in our DNA. But I do know it goes back to early childhood at least and it CANNOT be changed. Conversion therapy doesn’t work and even if it did… if you had true faith in God why would you need it? Because you’d trust that God can take care of that, and wouldn’t even need manmade intervention. God can of course change it if He chooses to. But in my experience my prayer to become straight was met with outright refusal. And when I asked why, He told me “I will not destroy who you are in order to make you something you’re not.” That really did stick with me. It was not the answer I was expecting at all. I have never once in my life worshiped an idol other than God. I have always been a Christian since childhood. And I promise you, being gay really is something that just occurs from time to time, is innate and cannot be changed. And it is unfair to expect this small group of people to live these “disciplined lives” while heterosexuals get a “free pass” via marriage. I just wanted to respond to that from a homosexual Christian perspective. I would love to talk more about this issue as it is important to me. Thank you and God bless!

      interesting comment. I'm not gay but i came to the same conclusion. a lot of the unwise behaviour in the gay community is in part due to the church's rejection, stemming from its bad theology and dogmatic attitude on the issue. But God's word is clear: it is not good for man to be alone.

    We as believers in Jesus Christ should identify ourselves as HIS followers not our desires (abominations/sins). Example : I'm a Jezebel Christian...No Jesus is a Restorer/Healer/He makes all things and people new "if" we desire it . The Holy Spirit told me when I was new in Jesus that I was a manipulator. That hurt me so bad because it was my lifestyle in getting my way. So I prayed asked Jesus to change, heal and deliver me from that and by His grace and mercy HE did. So that's no longer my identity any more. Praise God (Jesus)...

If so, what about 2 Corinthians 5:17 that speaks about us being a new creation in Christ? Can someone be a drunkard or fornicator but say I believe its wrong still be Christian?

      I think there needs to be a distinction.
      If someone says "I am a homosexual and a Christian", I would hope that what they mean by that is, "I struggle with same sex attraction, HOWEVER, like every other sin I make every effort to not fall into temptation and act sinfully."
      I don't think it makes sense for someone to PRACTISE homosexuality and profess to be a Christian.

    I hear people say often, you can’t judge me. Only God can.
    I was thinking about how as
    Christians we are called to love first.
    Not judge first.
    But we are called to judge.
    There is righteous judgment. But we need to understand why and how to judge someone biblically.
    Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
    If someone comes to you in love showing you a weakness in your walk by means of discipline, chastening or correction, this is a form of righteous judgment.
    So if you claim to be a Christian, and don’t receive correction, you are regarded as “a fool” according to holy scripture. Fool in Hebrew: one who despises wisdom, one who mocks when guilty, one who is quarrelsome, one who is licentious.
    And as far as righteous judging goes... for one to pass (righteous) judgment he or she must be practicing what they preach, otherwise they have no authority from God because they are being a hypocrite.
    Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
    John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
    The Bible says when we judge ourselves and our neighbors our judgment must be in righteousness. Not what we hear from someone else about that person or what we think, but rather moral truth.
    And always always correct in gentleness with real love for the person.
    We are called to love overall.

      I partially disagree with you on this. In order for one to judge righteously, you must be PERFECT at all time and sinless. Correction isn't judgement. The only one to walk this earth and was perfect was Jesus. And when he was here, he didn't judge. This is where people get it twisted. We have all sinned and will continue until the day we die. That's just the nature of the beast. We dont do it on purpose, however, it doesn't mean that it still isn't happening. All we can do is show them the love and grace that we ourselves want Jesus to show us when our time is up. God is the judge, not us. Other than that, your message was great. May God bless you.

I didn’t say homosexual people are disgusting or will be going hell. But they just left me and started bullying me I even wanted to quit the class that I had with them. They didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself except the friend I was closest to. I got hurt and I know what I said hurt my friend who came out to be a lesbian. I was sad not because I became alone and they bullied me, but because I have lost my friend whom I loved a lot. I still love her and pray for her. They thought I am homophobic but I am cleary not. Hate is a sin. I explained my position to my closest friend who at least tried to understand me. She was also bisexual. I said ‘I am a Christian and I can’t say I support homosexually based on my religious belief. But I still love them and love you because Jesus loved everyone.’ She respected my belief, and she became the only person who didn’t disgust me even though she truly knew me, and we are still friends. (My high school life was still lonely because we never stayed together when the friends who left me could see us. She was hiding that she still hung out with me after the friends left me. She tried to explain my position to them, but they refused to listen to her.) Yes, I am a sinner too and judging is not right. But saying what is wrong in the Bible is right is also wrong too. Everytime I see people who are related to the rainbow flag, that hurts my heart. Nowadays, the society is almost compelling us to accept that homosexually is nature and love is love. Christians should at least have freedom of speech and religion to say what is wrong is wrong! Just disagreeing with the idea doesn’t mean we hate it. We love you but we just can’t support what you are doing. We should repent our sin too because no one is sinless. We just have different points of view. What is easier? Just going with the flow, accepting everything that the society and your friends say it’s right?

    There's nothing wrong with being gay. End of story. Move on.

    Amen. Thank you for clearing up the most controversial subject. We are Christians if we love Jesus Christ we will a desire to live completely and totally for him. A true believer doesn't want to sin but sometimes we do our duty is to repent and ask for his forgiveness and don't go back. It ain't easy but it's worth living for him. Folks have to be careful casting judgement on people when they are weak. I think that's the problem in the church today. They are are to harsh on the weakest Christians. It grieves my spirit to see among those who call themselves christians. We should judge sin and false doctrine in the right spirit and not with harshness because one day we might find our selves stumbling and we will need that same grace and mercy one day. The ugliness of human nature. God help us.🙏

    Claiming (man-made) morals against homosexuality as given from a (invented) god, without any prove , is not only hilarious , its harmful and dangerous.
    Homosexuality is a natural healthy born sexual orientation with an evolutionary meaning.
    As a Deist I send you a lot human love :)

    You hit the nail on the head, when you said that we are all born a certain way in regards to sin, but that's why we have to be "Born again!"

    I've struggled with my sexuality for a while. I have been raised Christian my entire life, and I've subtly noticed my attraction towards the same sex grow and grow. It's something I can't control. I have prayed and asked God repeatedly to just give me joy and happiness, cause I felt like I didn't deserve it [since I was having these attractions]. I basically tried to "pray the gay away". It didn't work. Since figuring out my sexuality, I truly believe I have grown closer to God. He has helped me find my true self, and I can say I am proud to be both homosexual and Christian.

    This was spot on, simple and powerful. I remember hearing another Christian RUclipsr saying God doesn't need us to be ourselves, he needs us to live our holiest life. That's stands out to me. God loves us as we are, he's even faithful to the non believer but, God deserves our loyalty.

    I had a Christian friend on social media who came out in a homosexual relationship. I respectfully shared my concern and his "friends" attacked me as a bigot and I got nowhere with it.
    He's now an advocate for the gay community as lawyer. So he claims to be a follower of Christ and he is working to support the gay agenda.
