I agree, that was the correct comment for sure. Although Rick Warren from my understanding say Christians should also accept Muslims.. Chrislam.. and that I just can't agree with.
Rick Warren is not a born again Christian, if someone is for the New World Order. Then how is that person a born again Christian? The Holy Bible is against homosexuality but just because someone's against it doesn't make them a born again Christian. Be careful who you listen too!!! Rick Warren's beliefs is not accurate to the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is against the New World Order!!! Paul says, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the dead. You shall be SAVED!!! It is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved and not of our works!!! Jesus said through men this is impossible but through God all things are possible. Believe on the Son of God!!! You cannot lose your salvation. When you put your full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work that He did on the cross of Calvary by paying the admission of our sins past, present, and future. When you put your full trust in Jesus Christ, you are sealed, you are saved till the day of redemption!!! I'm not going to sugarcoat it, the Holy Bible is against homosexuality, it's against getting drunk, it's against doing drugs, it's against harming your body!!! But through God's grace, through Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father!!! This cannot be by force or manipulation but by a willing HEART and God draws any person who was willing in their HEART to accept His Son as their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by putting their full trust in Him!!! Repent!!! That means turning away from your sinful lifestyle!!! The things that do not glorify God. Come to God with open arms and because if anyone is willing, God will draw that person to His Son. Repenting does not mean asking for forgiveness, but Allowing God to have grace and mercy on you. And if you turn from the things that are temporary that do not glorify God and search for the things that are Eternal that glorify God. When I asked Jesus to forgive me, it has nothing to do with my salvation, but I ask in remembrance and honor of what He did for me on the cross of calvary!!! The sinner's prayer doesn't save you, but only through the grace of God, through His Son Jesus Christ can save you!!! But turn away from your sins and come to God with open arms. And God will have mercy on you.
@@kennethray3653 and who are you to judge him? That he's not a born again Christian lol..... God knows he's true intention/heart stop spreading gossips.
@@ellona3645 Rick Warren is for the New World Order!!! If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the dead. You shall be saved!!! 1 John 3:23-24 (KJV) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:19-21 (KJV) We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. Rick Warren did not put his full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work on the cross of calvary!!! Once saved always saved!!! Rick Warren did not come to True repentance. You have to put your full Trust in Jesus Christ. Rick Warren turned his head and looked back!!! I'm not saying that Rick Warren will never become a born-again Christian. I hope he is a whosoever!!! Whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life!!! Put your full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work that He did on the cross of Calvary, paid the admission of your sins past, present, future, and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the Dead. You shall be SAVED!!! By faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone!!! Hallelujah!!! It's not about us, it's about Him in what He did for us!!! I hope Rick Warren opens his eyes before he is Left Behind, just like everyone else needs to open their eyes before they are left behind. Be whosoever!!! Repent by turning away from your sin and come to God with open arms, and God will show you grace and mercy!!! Are you a whosoever? God bless!!!😃😃😃
Unfortunately piers sees Christianity as a political thing. So he feels like it should change like other secular political ideas. He doesn't realize the message of christ is eternal and real amd everlasting
You nailed it, Mark. Agree 100%, I think the reverend's stance when opposing to go against his own conscience as a believer is genuine. On the other hand, he shows total respect for those who think different to him regarding people relationships. This is as good as it gets, and leaves Piers without arguments, just saying.
@@Michael-uv6cn If anything, that should actually give you MORE reason to BELIEVE in God/Jesus. Germany and Russia are proof of what happens when a society changes too much.
Rick probably did one of the best Jobs here. He didn't compromise, but he said it with gentleness and respect. I've seen so many pastors compromise, it's sad. He is one I have more hope in, Great job Rick!!!
@@chrisss3749 If you compromise on your values or beliefs, then they're probably not that important to you. Not trying to start a war by saying that, but it's facts.
@@oceanbay3690 And so Night101 was backing Rick as he is representing Christ. I'm just saying .... that boldness IS in support of Jesus. (In case you were indicating otherwise; it's not quite clear) 😊
Pierce....the Bible does not promote stoning to death of sinners. This is the problem when someone only reads 1 line of the Bible and thinks they know what the whole Book is about. How can a person watch 5 seconds of a movie, and expect to know what the theme of the movie is about? Ludicrous...
tanya aminov You should do what's right not what you're told. If there's no harm done in homosexuality I don't see why not. It might be your god the wrong one here. Moral people should fight for what we consider moral and just. We can't confuse religious dogmatism with real morality, and therefore we can't afford to divorce morality from human suffering. Cause if we do, we'll never know whether we're dealing with a good god or with an evil one. Therefore obeying blindly to a deity is not a sign of real morality. It's only a sign of blind and mindless stupidity.
+Ciro Galli My GOD is not a evil GOD and HIS Holy Word is the law! With GOD HIS way is the only way and we cannot change HIS Word and if you do then you will be punished. Read Revelation!!!!
How can you know that? How can you know how good or evil your god is? And how could you tell a good god from an evil one if he's gonna come along and start dictating morality and expect you to abide by it regardless or burn you forever? How can you know you're not following an evil god if all you're gonna do is obey him blindly? That's why I think that complete obedience to a god just to avoid punishment is not real morality. Morality cannot happen when sheep-minded people obey a god that put himself in that position of power. That's what I refer to as: religious dogmatism. You can't divorce real morality from the wellbeing of real people and to religion, the alleviation of human suffering ranks very low. Again: blindly obeying a god that put himself in a position of power without being elected, or being punished if not, is NOT morality. Morality cannot have anything to do with blind obedience to avoid punishment but with the maximization of wellbeing and minimization of suffering.
Friend can I ask you who is your god? My GOD is the only True GOD! HE made the earth, the heavens, the stars, the planets, HE put everything here on this earth and HE made man in HIS own image and then took a rib from Adam and made women, Eve. The GOD I worship also sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to earth to die for our sins and yes even your sins. JESUS became the Sacrificial LAMB for our filthy sins and through HIS death and then rising up from the grave three days later where HE defeated death and sin, JESUS provided us all, even you a way to never go to that place that was prepared for satan and his demons/evil spirits. GOD does not want you or anyone to go there and that was why HE offered HIS SON as The Sacrificial LAMB. All a person needs to do is call upon JESUS and admit you are a sinner and have sinned against GOD and ask HIM to forgive you of those sins and ask JESUS to come into your heart and live. Then believe JESUS died on The Cross and shed HIS blood for your sins and arose from the Grave three days later. Do and believe this and your name will be written down in the LAMBS Book Of Life forever and you will never go to that place called hell. Also GOD will not force you to worship HIM, HE commands you to do this and obey HIS Commandments. However GOD will allow you to do as you choose as HE already sent HIS SON to die for your sins. That includes JESUS CHRIST. JESUS will not force you to come to HIM nor will HE force you to believe in HIM. HE already suffered and died for you. You must make up your mind as to what you want to do. I say this, you would be better off believing GOD is real and JESUS did all these things for you and be forgiven of your sins and dying or being Raptured out and going to Heaven, than dying or being left behind with satan and his followers and then finding out you were wrong or listened to the wrong people and now your time spent in eternity will be in the Hell Fires forever and forever! I hope you will reconsider your thinking before it I too late. Read GODS Word and you will see that back in the Old Testament and New Testament many things were predicted would happen before JESUS returned for HIS Bride, The Church. Look at many things that have already happened. JESUS said in the last days there would be earthquakes in diverse places and if you have heard the news you see there are earthquakes happening around the world everyday and there were 54 of these in one day and many were in areas that had never ever had a earthquake. HE said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famine and pestilence and all of these are now happening all over the world. I could go on with other things but just wanted to point these out too you. You can see more if you will study GODS Word. The Jews do not believe JESUS is their MASIAH, but a real old Rabbi said a few weeks back that JESUS was coming soon and a date was 12 Sept 15. Who knows what day or time, only The FATHER knows. That is why you must be saved and ready as JESUS could come at anytime. Look at what the powers to be are saying is going to happen on several days in September. Look at the Stock Market? I hope you will seek The ONE who gave HIS life freely for you before it is too late! Take care and have a wonderful day!
Standing Bear I didn't ask what do you think your god is like? I know you think you know. But how do you know there is such a god? How can you know there is such a god as the one you're describing or that he's your god? How do you know your god exactly like you're describing him and that's not just the way he's pretending to be (if he exists, that is)? Believers think that just by defining their god as good and moral that's the god that exists. But it doesn't work like that. You can define your god the way you want. But that doesn't make him true or worth obeying. My question was more like: if there was a god, how could you know he's moral and not simply claiming to be moral? How can you tell a moral god from an evil god? Morality is not such simply because there's someone claiming to be a god and a moral one. What standard of morality do you use in order to get to the conclusion that your god is a moral one and not an immoral one? What standard of morality do you use to determine the Bible is a moral book and not an immoral one?
I will say from experience that Rick Warren and his church members are the most gracious, accepting people you would ever want to meet. They will not beat you over the head with their Bibles. They will not give you lip service. They see everyone as a person God created and loves. I worked behind the scenes for three years. This is where you’d see the flaws. I have no such story to tell. I have had to move away from the area. I miss them and will always be grateful for the pleasure of worshiping and working alongside them in the community.
He also failed to mention that the stoning was Old Testament before Christ died for our sins. He didn't even allow Pastor Warren to address that statement he threw out.
This interview felt as if Piers was "out to get him", like he was ready to pounce on him, bait him and catch him at a wrong statement. This felt similar to how the Pharisees back then would ask Jesus a theoretical question and then try to trap him into saying something wrong. But I commend Pastor Rick for staying cool and yet not standing down. He stayed his ground and defended his belief, not being swayed by the host's domineering attitude and just clearly stated his position. God bless you, Pastor Rick! I'm a Catholic and I appreciate your strong yet respectful conviction!
Because this Rick is a fake preacher that's why... Watch John MacArthur on Larry King shows and you will see how a real preacher function with the authority of God
No there will never be. Because anyone who says they don’t condone or approve of someone’s sexuality is essentially saying their love isn’t authentic. Why is a straight love authentic but my love for a man isn’t? There will never be a middle ground
J Elliott I have to disagree with your “sin leads to hell” philosophy, and here’s why. The Bible says that anyone who has believed ON Jesus for salvation does not come under judgement but has passed from death on to life. And that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whoever believe in Him shall NOT PERISH but have everlasting life! It doesn’t get any simpler than that folks, which is why the Bible tells us not to forget the simplicity we have in Christ. Nobody seems to understand what true repentance is, the repentance unto salvation. It is not a turning from sin, it is a change of mind from trusting in our works to trusting 100% in Christ for our salvation! Sad news is most so called Christians haven’t repented, therefore they haven’t received Christ’s imputed righteousness, they still remain under the law, in which no flesh shall be justified. That’s why the people who came to heaven boasting about their works didn’t get in, because they hadn’t fully trusted in Jesus, therefore were lawless, because their own righteousness is as filthy rags. If you have never believed this, you haven’t been saved. If you once believed this, but no longer do, you are being deceived. There is a HUGE difference between the punishment for sins and hell. Got chastens His children, He doesn’t burn them. But those who believe that simply placing your trust in Christ isn’t enough, then they are condemning themselves because none of us can live up to the law.
Brandon Gray I don’t know what to tell ya man, I really don’t. :( I struggle with same sex attraction too. But I am also a Christian. Deep down I feel like somewhere along the line, people got the teachings wrong, but I will never know for sure, so I, as well as many other Christians are afraid to step out of the lines of what we have been taught, in fear of corrupting God’s word. Because IF the traditional teaching/ understanding is true, and I choose to believe otherwise, I corrupt God’s word by saying that two men loving each other is equal to a man and woman loving each other. It seems very confusing to me, but I’m not God. The only advice I can give you is to put all your trust in Christ, because in the end, your faith is going to save you, no matter how bad you’ve been. Jesus doesn’t forsake His children. But He does chasten those who make their lives into constant sin. Ask God about it, but be prepared for the answer. And be sure you know the answer is from God, and whatever He tells you, that will be your answer. :) Peace, and good luck! God loves you, no matter how broken, sinful, or depressed you may be. We are all broken in God’s eyes.

Why would a "loving" creator want you to fear him? Dictators and tyrants are the ones who want people to fear him. Now that I think of it. Your god is a tyrant.
Sort of like how you "respect" the mafia boss who might break your legs if you don't pay up on your gambling debts, huh? Except of course with the mafia boss, at least you can die and escape him. With God, death is where the real fun begins, isn't it?
His last statement was very strong. "I fear the disapproval of GOD more than your disapproval and the society". I echo and resonate that too. Pierce is worldly man even composing himself as an atheist. We need to pray for him.

Yes. I am saddened when he said this. So this interview wasn't meant just to let Pastor Rick state his opinion on same sex marriage, it was meant to trap him and beat him. Pierce was so unprofessional in this interview. He kept interrupting his guest and viciously disrespecting the Bible.

@@Gigi-vq5ft also things that non-Christians can't wrap their heads around with. Exactly how the Pharisees viewed Jesus. They found Christ's answers to their questions and criticisms weak, baseless, and (even) blasphemous. As believers of Christ, we believe and trust in His words. But this doesn't mean that we are pure and holy. Everyday we still ask for His mercy and love. And in return, even though we have stumbled a lot of times, His grace is (always) there, ready to lift us up. We respect and love our brethren, may they be straight or part of the LGBTQ community. As Christians, our mission is to spread the gospel, and pray for those who haven't been Christ-bound. :)
I wonder how Piers must have felt when the audience applauded Pastor Rick's last statement. He intended to "beat him" (his own words), but based on the audience's reactions, he had his serving of humble pie.
The Bible doesn’t say that if you look at a person lustfully you should be stoned...Jesus said that to lust after someone mentally is just like committing adultery. And the context was to help us understand that Gods standard of morality is not just external, law-abiding mortality. We have all sinned and must repent of self-righteousness. SO people who criticize the Bible should actually read it rather than presume they know what is in it! I challenge all who see Christianity as boring, anachronistic and stupid to READ WHAT CHRIST SAID. You will be blown away by the humility of Jesus, by His awesome love and the fact that God came as Him to reach out to broken, fragile humans. Read it Pierce. Read it.
@@kelvinbarber1765 Because he's as fallible and mortal as any of us are, and so can't possibly know what a vastly superior being would approve of or not; because he's using his god as a shield to hide behind while venting his own personal spite. Because, finally, the guy's full of shit.
The exact thought process of modern society: "I'll keep coming back at it, until I beat you down." And, unfortunately, the Church keeps going along with it...
Piers loves to make completely inflated points without allowing his opponent to contribute, e.g. Old Testament laws which are not appropriate to the Church Age. Why is he making theological points when he has no training in scriptures? That's like getting a mathematician to do a talk on marine biology.
OT (and NT) laws also support polygamy too, unless you're an Elder (1 Tim 3:2, Exodus 21:10). Regardless, all Bible Literalists are hypocrites, cherry picking the Scriptures....it doesn't necessarily matter their level of "training".
@@j.n.3577 Absurd universal statement and assumption. Not one verse in the Bible encourages polygamy. If you've studied the Bible (which I'm supposing you have, in which case you know you're not entirely being honest), you know that the Bible goes to great lengths to display the intensity of problems with polygamy and the importance of monogamous marriage between one man and one woman.
@@romeooscaryankeelimaoscarg9898 It's more like there are consequences for not following your doctor indications. Not that the doctor forces you, of course. You can do whatever you want.
Rick is a liar who changes his "message' to fit his audience at that time. Then denies he said things, WHICH ARE ON TAPE. Maddow has a RUclips segment on this,
He is so incredible. Whether you or I agree with him or not, he is faithful to his love of God but maintains grace and respect and love for everyone. Now that is Christianity at its finest. He inspires me so much!
The Bible never says if you look at someone lustfully you are to be stoned to death, this is the problem with critics who don’t know and don’t care for what the Bible really says only their own wants and desires and will twist the scriptures to boost their position
girl in red bebs Belief and repentance is necessary. True belief leads to repentance which is a turning away from your sin. Saying you believe and continuing to live unchanged is lip service. It is not a change of heart. You cannot play God for a chump. Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. Mat 7:22 On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?' Mat 7:23 Then I will announce to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!'
We don't stone people because Jesus fulfilled the law. He paid the price for sin. Very simple to understand if you actually read the Bible. This pastor stood his ground. God bless him
The most humblest straight forward answer from Rick Warren at the end!!! "Fearing God's disapproval more than Man's or societies."I'm not sure if people like Piers who stand for equality understand that the view from which believers in Christ stand by cannot be changed because it is not our Words or purposes or creation of life to change. The world is changing but God's love, words and promises remain the same.That doesn't mean that all things and examples spoken in the bible are commanded by God to do. Like his example of "throwing stones" as a means of punishment or condemnation. When Christ died for us which is written in the New Testament, He took our sins and eternal punishment, it is no longer about us having the ability to punish but God's character of mercy grace and unfailing love.Love does not mean letting sin corrupt Love's meaning! Sin seperates us from God and the bible clearly defines what is sin. Old Testament history is history to be observed and acknowledged, the Ten Commandements are still Commandements put in place by God and in the New Testament two commandments are placed in priority of all, "To love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself."Loving, again does not mean "changing" what God sees as of His design and purpose and not of his design and purpose. Amongst other sins, homosexuality and same sex marriage is not of God's design. If the question of equality poses or demands respect, what can man say of respect for what God has created as His purpose for Man and Woman to be in union? Who's purposes are we questioning or acknowledging? Why is society fighting so hard for it's individual acknowledgement and justification of XYZ...and why is there no fight or passion to understand our creator and how we are designed to be? If we claim "love" is what moves us why are we choosing to be a society that is not moved by what love is on the Cross for us but rejects it? John 3:16-17Why have we ignorantly placed ourselves higher than our creator and loving Father God? Was I there at the creation of the universe...was I there when God laid the earths foundations? I didn't create myself, I am here because my parents met and I am here breathing and alive because of the love and grace of God. Piers comments about the Bible's Old Testiment practice of condemnation for breaking the Law by stoning is that of the Old Testament. Christians wouldn't even think of that practice. He does not understand the important of distinction between Old Testament and what Jesus has done in the New Testament starting from Matthew. The statement that Pierce makes saying the Bible is too old for our modern world practices is only half observed. I think the reason why people may be confused about what to believe or practice in the Bible is because we are missing the Holy Spirit , the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior who brings the promise of a new life and the Promise of the Holy Spirit. How can a person fully say they understand the aspects of the bible without this very vital part of the Trinity who is responsible for correcting our thoughts and guiding us into all truth?
I heard someone say something that makes sense, he said, "You're free to have and speak your own opinions, but you are NOT free, to create your own facts in your heads, and distribute them as the truth!" The only truth that I recognize is the Word of God, everything else is a mere opinion!
Why do people think they can disapprove of someone's lifestyle if they don't even know that person? If you don't agree with a lifestyle you don't have to scream it every second you can. Gay, bi, lesbian etc people exist. If people choose to live a lifestyle you don't have a right to believe you're better than them and can critique their lifestyle. How can you critique something you don't fully understand, nor realize that you can't just change that trait of that person? It's like going up to a black person and telling them to be white. I know people won't read this, but if you're homophobic, for a second just try being in their shoes. If you don't support it, that's fine, just don't scream it at every chance you get
Amen. Theres so many twisted people in the world right now. I can see people redifining the bible terms in their own way. But they dont know that the word of GOD is absolute. Thank you Pastor Rick. You’re the best!
Loving the person is telling them that they're wrong. If you want to love them,tell them THE TRUTH. The reason sinners are going to hell is that we're not brave enough to tell them they're wrong.We don't want to. see any sinner go to hell,but we MUST SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.Let them make the choice as to whether they want to accept it or not.
Frederick Weeks Jr. you are absolutely right! I have two lesbian cousins and although l love them I’m not excepting their lifestyle so we are cordial but as a believer in Christ l don’t have anything in common with their lifestyles🤷🏿♀️
Homosexuality is not a choice nor lifestyle. If you honestly believe millions of people are taking their lives for something they can help, you're uneducated.
Homosexuality has been documented in over 1500 animal species found in nature which makes it natural in the literal definition of the word. Nature which was created by God which makes it part of His Divine Plan.
Charlie Parker LMFAO!!! You're accusations of other people being queer seem to say something about yourself! Just because we don't agree with gay marriage doesn't mean we are "in the closet"!!
The host is just as bad as those who violently protest gay marriage. Look at his body language when he said "eventually I'll beat you down". That's exactly Rick's point about tolerance. He behaves just as those he disagrees with.
Equality does not mean that opposing views are each correct. It simply means that each person is just as important and valuable as the other. As people. A person's stance on a particular subject never makes them less than or below another. By the way ... the Bible is not an opinion or a perspective. It is simply the Truth. Choosing to deny the truth does not make something any less true. What God has said will come to be WILL HAPPEN. He has let us know the best choices to make in order to have peace and to avoid dire consequences.

Since you reject God you are then left with subjective morality which is a standard that refutes itself. That is what you are left believing, that morality is made up by people. If morality is based on human opinion (which is what you are reduced to) then anyone can say, think and do anything they want and label it good. That is the absurdity of your position.

He is clearly showing his hypocrisy. He said that marriage is the commitment between one man and one woman (presumably til death). Yet his church allows divorces and remarriage. In fact, most churches do. Where is "divorce" and "remarriage" mentioned in the "original definition of marriage"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that vow of commitment til death to one person has just been contradicted.
JeffersonDinedAlone Why not? We have been changing the definition of marriage, since the institution was invented. If you are so hung up on "original definitions, then you must believe marriage should ONLY be defined in these terms simply because it is one of the oldest definitions. Marriage- "1 man or 1 woman chosen by your parents (or pre-arranaged) of the same race and religion for life with no possibility of divorce, regardless of whether or not they are violent." So unless you follow that definition and that definition only, don't preach to me about never changing definitions. Furthermore, why can't a word's definition ever be changed? What law or moral code is it breaking?
The Bible only allows divorce in case of adultery, and remarriage to widows (and men who lost their wives). But some churches allow it in other situations, and I’m pretty sure he has an idea based on the Bible.
"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet sought to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1;10) An inspiring and humble man. Lord Jesus Christ, please bless him and his family.
I’m a Christian, marriage is NOT our term! It’s older than Christianity. And I also fear the disapproval of god, that’s why I study to show myself approved. By studying to show myself approved, I’m 100% confident in the name of Jesus that I don’t support pederasty and that I do support the teachings of Christ.
Christianity doesn't own Marriage. It did not invent marriage and Christianity has no right to comment on the rights of citizens based on their faith. Practice your faith freely. If it's against your faith to be gay, that's a personal thing for you to keep in mind. Has nothing to do with anyone else and how they live their life. In short: mind your own business.
GOD owns marriage, and GOD invented marriage. You should forward your complaints directly to HIM for review. By the way, it has everything to do with everyone else since "same-sex marriage" is being taught as equal to, and sometimes even more important than opposite sex marriage, which is still in fact, the norm. This is especially poignant, and troubling since pre-school children are being indoctrinated into accepting the gay rights agenda, and the "marriage equality" fallacy.
I personally feel like too many people consider disapproval of homosexuality as "hatred, bigoted.." And such. I think there is hatred on both sides of the argument though. People cursing homosexuals and people cursing those who just don't happen to agree with it. I fall in to the category of disagreement. That doesn't mean I hate anybody. I know many homosexuals and they're good people. I say have your disagreements, that's fine. But stop being jerks.
Daniel Riding "Disapproval of homosexuality" is called homophobia. Even if a homophobic doesn't hate homosexuals, s/he's still capable of discriminating against them in his/her belief system, and the discrimination is wrong.
Daniel Riding Those who curse individuals or groups for their sins are hypocrites. We all sin. Even those of us who seek the Father through the Son continuously. We need to seek God to be made anew as we do not have power to heal ourselves without Him. The more we sin, the more darkness we live under. The more we come to love God through His Son, the more He will work through us through comfort, love, truth, and understanding. We become more compassionate to others as our eyes are open because we see the truth of our own blindness that causes us to sin. It is only by seeking a relationship with the Father through His Son, can we be made whole. He is calling us all....the more we sin, the more difficult it is to hear Him. But it only takes us picking up His Word and learning about His Son with our heart that we begin to heal.
paqueenb It's wrong to hate homosexuality, because there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. You don't have to believe that homosexuality is a sin, even if you're Christian.
RighteousRebel430 God the Father decides what is sin. Not you, not me. People that live in sin without a relationship with the Father through His Son, justify the lies they believe. No sin is acceptable and we all are guilty...every one of us are dirty rags. We all need the comfort and love of our precious Savior and His Father! It is only through Him that we can grow in His will, and be transformed. He loves us and wants us to spend time with Him!
I am appalled as a Christian that Pastors or men of God can't answer a simple question about homosexuality and marriage. I have watched Piers Morgan question several supposed Christian ministers or pastors, and not one can answer with an answer that supports the bible! Men stand on the word, and not be pressured with questions that God himself has already answered.
It's harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle the Love of Money is the root up all kinds of wickedness
I'm a devowed Christian but the god who loves all wants harmony. I love people who love whoever they want. 2 of my greatest friends who are some of the most beautiful souls I've ever met who are always there for me are gay. I ask them about their love life too because I'm not scared or feel embarrassed. I simply just want to love everyone and bring them a smile. This outdated logic is annoying. The most "devoted" Christians back a few hundred years ago were called Puritans and they had ideals that even stated if you liked music you would go to hell. Lmao
But what is the first and last thing you hear at church ? Freaking music bro. Worship music, but it's still music. At the end of the day love is love. Also, the definition of church isn't a building established with a bunch of men and women in front of a preacher. It states that church is defined by when 2 or more PEOPLE come together for the grace of god. Notice it says "PEOPLE" Not just men. Not just women. Not just women and men. Fucking people. We are one. We can do so much when you guys who are my family, my people, just come together and understand that we all have different levels of perception. But guess what staya. Love for all of you. All hate and judgement leaves the door when anyone steps foot into my life
"I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear the disapproval of society." Amen. I am happy to hear Warren make that statement and stand his ground on the meaning of marriage. I don't like that Piers Morgan stated he will "beat him down." That is how the devil operates. Thus, Morgan showed the same intolerance he is accusing Christians of espousing.
Hah I love reading these comments and laughing at how homophobic many are and just thinking "just let me be gay ffs I love my girlfriend just like you may love your wife/girlfriend if you're a straight male or husband/boyfriend if your'e a straight woman." I may be young, well a teenager, but I know that I'm attracted to women and that it can't be wrong. You can have your own opinions, just please don't be cruel to me or anyone else who loves someone of the same sex and we, well at least me and many of my LGBT friends will respect your opinions and way of life too. wow ok that turned into a rant sorry aha.
@Olivia M Honey, calm down. No one is forcing you to follow anything. You're here b/c you're all hysterical, how typical. You obviously wear the dress in your muff diving household.
Come on! Who is attacking you for being homosexual. Why gay people are so paranoid? You are free to love whoever you want, you are free to work, you are free to do whatever you want. As a Christian, I am not called to attack or hate anybody, but it doesn’t mean I have to deny what I believe in order to look “ tolerant” in front of people. This is not about hate or discrimination, this is about letting people know our opinion.
As a christian rick why so scared of just say it in his face that it is sin for a man and man, woman and woman to get married. Why so hard to explain that? Rick , you should also asked him if he have a father and a mother, a grandmother or a grandfather. I don't get why the media is so interested in LGBTQ WHY??? People read the bible and all your questions will be answer like me. I was lost and now I'm found, safe, and happy! I rather judge by the world than be judge by my father God!

AJ Maynard yesss an asshole let people have rights finally
Rick Warren is not a born again Christian, if someone is for the New World Order. Then how is that person a born again Christian? The Holy Bible is against homosexuality but just because someone's against it doesn't make them a born again Christian. Be careful who you listen too!!! Rick Warren's beliefs is not accurate to the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is against the New World Order!!! Paul says, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the dead. You shall be SAVED!!! It is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved and not of our works!!! Jesus said through men this is impossible but through God all things are possible. Believe on the Son of God!!!
You cannot lose your salvation. When you put your full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work that He did on the cross of Calvary by paying the admission of our sins past, present, and future. When you put your full trust in Jesus Christ, you are sealed, you are saved till the day of redemption!!! I'm not going to sugarcoat it, the Holy Bible is against homosexuality, it's against getting drunk, it's against doing drugs, it's against harming your body!!!
But through God's grace, through Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father!!! This cannot be by force or manipulation but by a willing HEART and God draws any person who was willing in their HEART to accept His Son as their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by putting their full trust in Him!!! Repent!!! That means turning away from your sinful lifestyle!!! The things that do not glorify God. Come to God with open arms and because if anyone is willing, God will draw that person to His Son. Repenting does not mean asking for forgiveness, but Allowing God to have grace and mercy on you. And if you turn from the things that are temporary that do not glorify God and search for the things that are Eternal that glorify God. When I asked Jesus to forgive me, it has nothing to do with my salvation, but I ask in remembrance and honor of what He did for me on the cross of calvary!!!
The sinner's prayer doesn't save you, but only through the grace of God, through His Son Jesus Christ can save you!!! But turn away from your sins and come to God with open arms. And God will have mercy on you.
@@kennethray3653 and who are you to judge him? That he's not a born again Christian lol..... God knows he's true intention/heart stop spreading gossips.

Rick Warren is for the New World Order!!!
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the dead. You shall be saved!!!
1 John 3:23-24 (KJV) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 4:19-21 (KJV) We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Rick Warren did not put his full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work on the cross of calvary!!! Once saved always saved!!! Rick Warren did not come to True repentance. You have to put your full Trust in Jesus Christ. Rick Warren turned his head and looked back!!! I'm not saying that Rick Warren will never become a born-again Christian. I hope he is a whosoever!!! Whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life!!!
Put your full trust in Jesus Christ on the finish work that He did on the cross of Calvary, paid the admission of your sins past, present, future, and believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the Dead. You shall be SAVED!!! By faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone!!! Hallelujah!!!
It's not about us, it's about Him in what He did for us!!! I hope Rick Warren opens his eyes before he is Left Behind, just like everyone else needs to open their eyes before they are left behind. Be whosoever!!! Repent by turning away from your sin and come to God with open arms, and God will show you grace and mercy!!!
Are you a whosoever?
God bless!!!😃😃😃

It's crazy to me watching an unbeliever trying to pastor a Pastor.

And a pastor not man enough to take a firm stand on what the Word says.
Unfortunately piers sees Christianity as a political thing. So he feels like it should change like other secular political ideas. He doesn't realize the message of christ is eternal and real amd everlasting
You nailed it, Mark. Agree 100%, I think the reverend's stance when opposing to go against his own conscience as a believer is genuine. On the other hand, he shows total respect for those who think different to him regarding people relationships. This is as good as it gets, and leaves Piers without arguments, just saying.
The word of God never changes. Society's rules always change.

wonphi highly agree. many people take the bible out of context. meanwhile when against it they stand firmly in mid air. no foundation
wonphi they don't want to understand, if they understand the entire bible it would make them deal with themselves and repent.

Where in the Torah is it written that God says you shall stone people?

Rick Warren is right I fear God more then the disapproval of man or society. Amen to that !!!
tanya aminov You should do what's right not what you're told. If there's no harm done in homosexuality I don't see why not. It might be your god the wrong one here. Moral people should fight for what we consider moral and just. We can't confuse religious dogmatism with real morality, and therefore we can't afford to divorce morality from human suffering. Cause if we do, we'll never know whether we're dealing with a good god or with an evil one. Therefore obeying blindly to a deity is not a sign of real morality. It's only a sign of blind and mindless stupidity.
+Ciro Galli My GOD is not a evil GOD and HIS Holy Word is the law! With GOD HIS way is the only way and we cannot change HIS Word and if you do then you will be punished. Read Revelation!!!!
How can you know that? How can you know how good or evil your god is? And how could you tell a good god from an evil one if he's gonna come along and start dictating morality and expect you to abide by it regardless or burn you forever? How can you know you're not following an evil god if all you're gonna do is obey him blindly? That's why I think that complete obedience to a god just to avoid punishment is not real morality. Morality cannot happen when sheep-minded people obey a god that put himself in that position of power. That's what I refer to as: religious dogmatism. You can't divorce real morality from the wellbeing of real people and to religion, the alleviation of human suffering ranks very low. Again: blindly obeying a god that put himself in a position of power without being elected, or being punished if not, is NOT morality. Morality cannot have anything to do with blind obedience to avoid punishment but with the maximization of wellbeing and minimization of suffering.
Friend can I ask you who is your god? My GOD is the only True GOD! HE made the earth, the heavens, the stars, the planets, HE put everything here on this earth and HE made man in HIS own image and then took a rib from Adam and made women, Eve. The GOD I worship also sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to earth to die for our sins and yes even your sins. JESUS became the Sacrificial LAMB for our filthy sins and through HIS death and then rising up from the grave three days later where HE defeated death and sin, JESUS provided us all, even you a way to never go to that place that was prepared for satan and his demons/evil spirits. GOD does not want you or anyone to go there and that was why HE offered HIS SON as The Sacrificial LAMB. All a person needs to do is call upon JESUS and admit you are a sinner and have sinned against GOD and ask HIM to forgive you of those sins and ask JESUS to come into your heart and live. Then believe JESUS died on The Cross and shed HIS blood for your sins and arose from the Grave three days later. Do and believe this and your name will be written down in the LAMBS Book Of Life forever and you will never go to that place called hell. Also GOD will not force you to worship HIM, HE commands you to do this and obey HIS Commandments. However GOD will allow you to do as you choose as HE already sent HIS SON to die for your sins. That includes JESUS CHRIST. JESUS will not force you to come to HIM nor will HE force you to believe in HIM. HE already suffered and died for you. You must make up your mind as to what you want to do. I say this, you would be better off believing GOD is real and JESUS did all these things for you and be forgiven of your sins and dying or being Raptured out and going to Heaven, than dying or being left behind with satan and his followers and then finding out you were wrong or listened to the wrong people and now your time spent in eternity will be in the Hell Fires forever and forever! I hope you will reconsider your thinking before it I too late. Read GODS Word and you will see that back in the Old Testament and New Testament many things were predicted would happen before JESUS returned for HIS Bride, The Church. Look at many things that have already happened. JESUS said in the last days there would be earthquakes in diverse places and if you have heard the news you see there are earthquakes happening around the world everyday and there were 54 of these in one day and many were in areas that had never ever had a earthquake. HE said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famine and pestilence and all of these are now happening all over the world. I could go on with other things but just wanted to point these out too you. You can see more if you will study GODS Word. The Jews do not believe JESUS is their MASIAH, but a real old Rabbi said a few weeks back that JESUS was coming soon and a date was 12 Sept 15. Who knows what day or time, only The FATHER knows. That is why you must be saved and ready as JESUS could come at anytime. Look at what the powers to be are saying is going to happen on several days in September. Look at the Stock Market? I hope you will seek The ONE who gave HIS life freely for you before it is too late! Take care and have a wonderful day!
Standing Bear I didn't ask what do you think your god is like? I know you think you know. But how do you know there is such a god? How can you know there is such a god as the one you're describing or that he's your god? How do you know your god exactly like you're describing him and that's not just the way he's pretending to be (if he exists, that is)? Believers think that just by defining their god as good and moral that's the god that exists. But it doesn't work like that. You can define your god the way you want. But that doesn't make him true or worth obeying. My question was more like: if there was a god, how could you know he's moral and not simply claiming to be moral? How can you tell a moral god from an evil god? Morality is not such simply because there's someone claiming to be a god and a moral one. What standard of morality do you use in order to get to the conclusion that your god is a moral one and not an immoral one? What standard of morality do you use to determine the Bible is a moral book and not an immoral one?
I will say from experience that Rick Warren and his church members are the most gracious, accepting people you would ever want to meet.
They will not beat you over the head with their Bibles. They will not give you lip service. They see everyone as a person God created and loves.
I worked behind the scenes for three years. This is where you’d see the flaws. I have no such story to tell.

Is this called an "interview" when the interviewer is speaking much more than Rick Warren??
youngmin park 😂😂😂😂
He also failed to mention that the stoning was Old Testament before Christ died for our sins. He didn't even allow Pastor Warren to address that statement he threw out.
This interview felt as if Piers was "out to get him", like he was ready to pounce on him, bait him and catch him at a wrong statement. This felt similar to how the Pharisees back then would ask Jesus a theoretical question and then try to trap him into saying something wrong. But I commend Pastor Rick for staying cool and yet not standing down. He stayed his ground and defended his belief, not being swayed by the host's domineering attitude and just clearly stated his position. God bless you, Pastor Rick! I'm a Catholic and I appreciate your strong yet respectful conviction!
Because this Rick is a fake preacher that's why...
Watch John MacArthur on Larry King shows and you will see how a real preacher function with the authority of God
cnn always does that... that is their mo

ICE WALL amen

No there will never be. Because anyone who says they don’t condone or approve of someone’s sexuality is essentially saying their love isn’t authentic. Why is a straight love authentic but my love for a man isn’t? There will never be a middle ground
J Elliott I have to disagree with your “sin leads to hell” philosophy, and here’s why.
The Bible says that anyone who has believed ON Jesus for salvation does not come under judgement but has passed from death on to life. And that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whoever believe in Him shall NOT PERISH but have everlasting life! It doesn’t get any simpler than that folks, which is why the Bible tells us not to forget the simplicity we have in Christ. Nobody seems to understand what true repentance is, the repentance unto salvation. It is not a turning from sin, it is a change of mind from trusting in our works to trusting 100% in Christ for our salvation! Sad news is most so called Christians haven’t repented, therefore they haven’t received Christ’s imputed righteousness, they still remain under the law, in which no flesh shall be justified. That’s why the people who came to heaven boasting about their works didn’t get in, because they hadn’t fully trusted in Jesus, therefore were lawless, because their own righteousness is as filthy rags. If you have never believed this, you haven’t been saved. If you once believed this, but no longer do, you are being deceived. There is a HUGE difference between the punishment for sins and hell. Got chastens His children, He doesn’t burn them. But those who believe that simply placing your trust in Christ isn’t enough, then they are condemning themselves because none of us can live up to the law.
Brandon Gray I don’t know what to tell ya man, I really don’t. :( I struggle with same sex attraction too. But I am also a Christian. Deep down I feel like somewhere along the line, people got the teachings wrong, but I will never know for sure, so I, as well as many other Christians are afraid to step out of the lines of what we have been taught, in fear of corrupting God’s word. Because IF the traditional teaching/ understanding is true, and I choose to believe otherwise, I corrupt God’s word by saying that two men loving each other is equal to a man and woman loving each other. It seems very confusing to me, but I’m not God. The only advice I can give you is to put all your trust in Christ, because in the end, your faith is going to save you, no matter how bad you’ve been. Jesus doesn’t forsake His children. But He does chasten those who make their lives into constant sin. Ask God about it, but be prepared for the answer. And be sure you know the answer is from God, and whatever He tells you, that will be your answer. :) Peace, and good luck! God loves you, no matter how broken, sinful, or depressed you may be. We are all broken in God’s eyes.

Why’s piers almost “bullying” and pressuring him to change his answer or how he feels?
2:15 "well I understand you don't accept the bible like I do"
2:40 "oh you of little faith"
3:21 "I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear your disapproval or the disapproval of society"
those comebacks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well he only has his fate to say Something, i really hope that his kids all die from them being antivazine he strikes me as a monster

YESS. THOSE PARTS ARE VERY AMAZING ❤
None of those comebacks are really comebacks, just the things Christians say when they can't validly defend their point...
@@Gigi-vq5ft also things that non-Christians can't wrap their heads around with. Exactly how the Pharisees viewed Jesus. They found Christ's answers to their questions and criticisms weak, baseless, and (even) blasphemous.
As believers of Christ, we believe and trust in His words. But this doesn't mean that we are pure and holy. Everyday we still ask for His mercy and love. And in return, even though we have stumbled a lot of times, His grace is (always) there, ready to lift us up. We respect and love our brethren, may they be straight or part of the LGBTQ community. As Christians, our mission is to spread the gospel, and pray for those who haven't been Christ-bound. :)
I love how the people at the end clapped! It felt like they were in church haha. Amen Pastor Rick Warren!
I wonder how Piers must have felt when the audience applauded Pastor Rick's last statement. He intended to "beat him" (his own words), but based on the audience's reactions, he had his serving of humble pie.
I agree with the pastor, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
The Bible doesn’t say that if you look at a person lustfully you should be stoned...Jesus said that to lust after someone mentally is just like committing adultery. And the context was to help us understand that Gods standard of morality is not just external, law-abiding mortality. We have all sinned and must repent of self-righteousness. SO people who criticize the Bible should actually read it rather than presume they know what is in it! I challenge all who see Christianity as boring, anachronistic and stupid to READ WHAT CHRIST SAID. You will be blown away by the humility of Jesus, by His awesome love and the fact that God came as Him to reach out to broken, fragile humans. Read it Pierce. Read it.
"I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear your disapproval or the disapproval of society. " what an answer.
What bullshit!
Yeah a horrible answer.
@@jeffallcock4561 how is it bs?
@@kelvinbarber1765 Because he's as fallible and mortal as any of us are, and so can't possibly know what a vastly superior being would approve of or not; because he's using his god as a shield to hide behind while venting his own personal spite. Because, finally, the guy's full of shit.
Rick Warren just earned great respect from me
For what it's worth
@@jeffallcock4561 yes opinions may differ. Just speaking for myself🙂
The exact thought process of modern society: "I'll keep coming back at it, until I beat you down."
And, unfortunately, the Church keeps going along with it...
why do they cut the interview? I want to watch the whole video. Maybe i can have some link please?
Rick thank you for talking about this subject, Of course this is just one of many, many topics we could talk about, but this is a hottish topic.
Pierce Morgan has always loved to hear his own voice. I would have like to hear Rick Warren speak more
I wouldn't. Religious bullshit isn't my cup of tea.
This man is a real christian. God bless you brother.
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Way to go, Rick.
Well spoken !
Truly with a heart for and of God.

Hello Julie and how are you doing?
Rick Warren handled that well 😇😇
Piers loves to make completely inflated points without allowing his opponent to contribute, e.g. Old Testament laws which are not appropriate to the Church Age. Why is he making theological points when he has no training in scriptures? That's like getting a mathematician to do a talk on marine biology.
OT (and NT) laws also support polygamy too, unless you're an Elder (1 Tim 3:2, Exodus 21:10). Regardless, all Bible Literalists are hypocrites, cherry picking the Scriptures....it doesn't necessarily matter their level of "training".
@@j.n.3577 Absurd universal statement and assumption. Not one verse in the Bible encourages polygamy. If you've studied the Bible (which I'm supposing you have, in which case you know you're not entirely being honest), you know that the Bible goes to great lengths to display the intensity of problems with polygamy and the importance of monogamous marriage between one man and one woman.
God's way, not yours. There are consequences in breaking God's laws. (Australia)
Just like there are consequences for breaking a tyrants laws.
@@romeooscaryankeelimaoscarg9898 It's more like there are consequences for not following your doctor indications. Not that the doctor forces you, of course. You can do whatever you want.
"I FEAR THE DISAPPROVAL OF GOD MORE THAN I FEAR YOUR DISAPPROVAL OR THE DISAPPROVAL OF SOCIETY"
Pastor Rick Warren 🙌
Wow. Rick Warren does a pretty good job here. The man takes an awful lot of slack for being a compromiser, but he stands his ground where it counts.
I like what he said in public - the disapproval of God cannot be afforded over anyone else's... Respect you Pastor
Thank you Pastor Rick Warren for standing up for the truth boldly. God bless you! -From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Amen. This man says is so well! Keep up the good work and spread the truth!
Rick is a liar who changes his "message' to fit his audience
at that time.
Then denies he said things, WHICH ARE ON TAPE.
Maddow has a RUclips segment on this,
He is so incredible. Whether you or I agree with him or not, he is faithful to his love of God but maintains grace and respect and love for everyone. Now that is Christianity at its finest. He inspires me so much!
The Bible never says if you look at someone lustfully you are to be stoned to death, this is the problem with critics who don’t know and don’t care for what the Bible really says only their own wants and desires and will twist the scriptures to boost their position
It's not about gay or hetero it's about lust for flesh..
All sinned Christ died for all .
Walk by sprit.
@Ace Perry not according to God's Word, read Romans 1:27, this verse alone makes it very clear how God feels toward acts of homosexuality.
girl in red bebs Belief and repentance is necessary. True belief leads to repentance which is a turning away from your sin. Saying you believe and continuing to live unchanged is lip service. It is not a change of heart. You cannot play God for a chump.
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Mat 7:22 On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?'
Mat 7:23 Then I will announce to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!'
Pierce didn't allow Rick to explain the Leviticus verse. What sort of fair game interview is this.
He just said what he wanted to say and cut his guest's response off. As he said himself, his goal for this interview was to "beat him".
We don't stone people because Jesus fulfilled the law. He paid the price for sin. Very simple to understand if you actually read the Bible. This pastor stood his ground. God bless him
The most humblest straight forward answer from Rick Warren at the end!!! "Fearing God's disapproval more than Man's or societies."I'm not sure if people like Piers who stand for equality understand that the view from which believers in Christ stand by cannot be changed because it is not our Words or purposes or creation of life to change. The world is changing but God's love, words and promises remain the same.That doesn't mean that all things and examples spoken in the bible are commanded by God to do. Like his example of "throwing stones" as a means of punishment or condemnation. When Christ died for us which is written in the New Testament, He took our sins and eternal punishment, it is no longer about us having the ability to punish but God's character of mercy grace and unfailing love.Love does not mean letting sin corrupt Love's meaning! Sin seperates us from God and the bible clearly defines what is sin. Old Testament history is history to be observed and acknowledged, the Ten Commandements are still Commandements put in place by God and in the New Testament two commandments are placed in priority of all, "To love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself."Loving, again does not mean "changing" what God sees as of His design and purpose and not of his design and purpose. Amongst other sins, homosexuality and same sex marriage is not of God's design.
If the question of equality poses or demands respect, what can man say of respect for what God has created as His purpose for Man and Woman to be in union? Who's purposes are we questioning or acknowledging? Why is society fighting so hard for it's individual acknowledgement and justification of XYZ...and why is there no fight or passion to understand our creator and how we are designed to be? If we claim "love" is what moves us why are we choosing to be a society that is not moved by what love is on the Cross for us but rejects it? John 3:16-17Why have we ignorantly placed ourselves higher than our creator and loving Father God? Was I there at the creation of the universe...was I there when God laid the earths foundations? I didn't create myself, I am here because my parents met and I am here breathing and alive because of the love and grace of God.
Piers comments about the Bible's Old Testiment practice of condemnation for breaking the Law by stoning is that of the Old Testament. Christians wouldn't even think of that practice. He does not understand the important of distinction between Old Testament and what Jesus has done in the New Testament starting from Matthew. The statement that Pierce makes saying the Bible is too old for our modern world practices is only half observed. I think the reason why people may be confused about what to believe or practice in the Bible is because we are missing the Holy Spirit , the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior who brings the promise of a new life and the Promise of the Holy Spirit. How can a person fully say they understand the aspects of the bible without this very vital part of the Trinity who is responsible for correcting our thoughts and guiding us into all truth?
I heard someone say something that makes sense, he said, "You're free to have and speak your own opinions, but you are NOT free, to create your own facts in your heads, and distribute them as the truth!" The only truth that I recognize is the Word of God, everything else is a mere opinion!
Harold McBroom ... which is ironic since what you've just stated is itself merely an opinion.
Thumb up for the teaching of this man, ever since I started watching him (Ricky Warren) I have never been disappointed. His truly a man of God
@Erik Young I will definitely check them out too
Jesus surely blessed this man with wisdom.
AMEN RICK WARREN! GOOD FOR YOU TO MAKE A STAND!
Why do people think they can disapprove of someone's lifestyle if they don't even know that person? If you don't agree with a lifestyle you don't have to scream it every second you can. Gay, bi, lesbian etc people exist. If people choose to live a lifestyle you don't have a right to believe you're better than them and can critique their lifestyle. How can you critique something you don't fully understand, nor realize that you can't just change that trait of that person? It's like going up to a black person and telling them to be white. I know people won't read this, but if you're homophobic, for a second just try being in their shoes. If you don't support it, that's fine, just don't scream it at every chance you get
and this us how talk shows change, interviewer becomes the interviewee , 😄 still , a great message from Pastor Rick ❣
God's Word will never change! Regardless as to whether you agree with it or not!!!!
He is the same yesterday, today and forever.....
And the Word of God is you're born that way... Also Angels and Apostles like Gays
Read Acts 8:26-39
We can be respectful yet lovingly warn that homosexuality is condemned by the bible. That is loving as we will all eventually meet our maker.
And others can respectfully say that we do not believe your analysis of the situation is correct and there is no maker to meet.
Amen. Theres so many twisted people in the world right now. I can see people redifining the bible terms in their own way. But they dont know that the word of GOD is absolute. Thank you Pastor Rick. You’re the best!
Loving the person is telling them that they're wrong. If you want to love them,tell them THE TRUTH. The reason sinners are going to hell is that we're not brave enough to tell them they're wrong.We don't want to. see any sinner go to hell,but we MUST SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.Let them make the choice as to whether they want to accept it or not.
Frederick Weeks Jr. you are absolutely right! I have two lesbian cousins and although l love them I’m not excepting their lifestyle so we are cordial but as a believer in Christ l don’t have anything in common with their lifestyles🤷🏿♀️
Homosexuality is not a choice nor lifestyle. If you honestly believe millions of people are taking their lives for something they can help, you're uneducated.
Respect, Pst Rick. Finally one who doesn't embarrass his God.
Amen Rick!
Amen, Rick.Glory to God!
Homosexuality has been documented in over 1500 animal species found in nature which makes it natural in the literal definition of the word. Nature which was created by God which makes it part of His Divine Plan.
So glad Perice is no longer on CNN
Rick Warren seems like a homosexual himself. No wonder he doesnt condemn them like the scriptures do
Charlie Parker You are an insult to the real Charlie (Bird Man) Parker!
Charlie Parker LMFAO!!! You're accusations of other people being queer seem to say something about yourself! Just because we don't agree with gay marriage doesn't mean we are "in the closet"!!
Yawn. He's a so called man of God yet holds back on the truth to avoid criticism. A deceiver
Yawn, god doesn't exist. All men are men of men, and that is all they are men of.
Charlie Parker. In the climate we live in today, we need the be wise. God calls us to be wise in a corrupt world.
Solid answers from Warren
No they aren't.
I’ve never seen a pastor speak the truth about homosexuality on a television interview. Bravo Rick Warren🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Listen to Dr. Voddie Baucham
The last few seconds of this video with the most powerful!
The host is just as bad as those who violently protest gay marriage. Look at his body language when he said "eventually I'll beat you down". That's exactly Rick's point about tolerance.
He behaves just as those he disagrees with.
Equality does not mean that opposing views are each correct.
It simply means that each person is just as important and valuable as the other.
As people.
A person's stance on a particular subject never makes them less than or below another.
By the way ... the Bible is not an opinion or a perspective.
It is simply the Truth.
Choosing to deny the truth does not make something any less true.
What God has said will come to be WILL HAPPEN.
He has let us know the best choices to make in order to have peace and to avoid dire consequences.
I agree with the statement, I fear the disapproval of God, before my disapproval of man.
You fear the disapproval of an imaginary being? How are you not hospitalized?

You see God's creation every day yet you conclude that there is no God? Why is that?

[20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

It's those that reject God who end up believing anything. The religion of atheism, the religion that teaches nothing produces everything, non-life produces life, randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness, and non-reason produces reason. Oh yes, very convincing. Wet rocks+time+chance=human. Atheism is a heart condition. That is why God calls those that deny his existence fools without excuse. Only a fool would believe that the human body happened by chance. Denying intelligent design is not intelligent.
Without God you have no objective standard to judge anything as being morally good or evil. You are stealing from God in order to argue against him. A self-refuting standard. Since you reject God you are then left with subjective morality which is a standard that refutes itself. That is what you are left believing, that morality is made up by people. If morality is based on human opinion (which is what you are reduced to) then anyone can say, think and do anything they want and label it good. That is the absurdity of your position. You are being an illogical hypocrite by going against premise of subjective morality which is the very standard you hold to, and that is because you are without God. You are reduced to absurdity. I have other people to reached. You can either accept the Gospel and be saved or remain arrogant, puffed up in your own pride and continue in your blindness and condemnation believing in miracles without God. I will trust in the Lord.
@@jesusisgod2953 Atheism isn't a religion, first off.
Morality pre-dates religion. Without it, humankind would have extinguished itself long ago.
It is you who are puffed up with pride, believing yrself to be holy and saved above all others. You who claim you know all there is to know. You who know you are saved. Yr spiritual arrogance is laughable.
Also, you are evidently without education, as all the feeble points you raise on behalf of yr belief have been answered long ago.
Educate yrself.
He is clearly showing his hypocrisy. He said that marriage is the commitment between one man and one woman (presumably til death). Yet his church allows divorces and remarriage. In fact, most churches do. Where is "divorce" and "remarriage" mentioned in the "original definition of marriage"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that vow of commitment til death to one person has just been contradicted.
Your perspective in this regard is wrong. What is relevant is that words have definitions. Those definitions cannot be changed at will.
JeffersonDinedAlone
Why not? We have been changing the definition of marriage, since the institution was invented. If you are so hung up on "original definitions, then you must believe marriage should ONLY be defined in these terms simply because it is one of the oldest definitions.
Marriage- "1 man or 1 woman chosen by your parents (or pre-arranaged) of the same race and religion for life with no possibility of divorce, regardless of whether or not they are violent." So unless you follow that definition and that definition only, don't preach to me about never changing definitions. Furthermore, why can't a word's definition ever be changed? What law or moral code is it breaking?
Jason Musser divorce is spoken about in the old testament and the new testament. Jesus himself spoke about marrige.
What u think is he going to do to those divorced people? Humilaite them? disrespect them o not allow them to enter the church? Come on!
The Bible only allows divorce in case of adultery, and remarriage to widows (and men who lost their wives). But some churches allow it in other situations, and I’m pretty sure he has an idea based on the Bible.
"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet sought to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1;10)
An inspiring and humble man. Lord Jesus Christ, please bless him and his family.
Amen.
He should of dropped a mic after that last comment 👌🏻 Well said 🙏🏽
Baby Valle I fear for your baby, I believe they’re gonna life an awful life as long as you life near them
WTG Rick.....well said......
I’m a Christian, marriage is NOT our term! It’s older than Christianity. And I also fear the disapproval of god, that’s why I study to show myself approved. By studying to show myself approved, I’m 100% confident in the name of Jesus that I don’t support pederasty and that I do support the teachings of Christ.
Christianity doesn't own Marriage. It did not invent marriage and Christianity has no right to comment on the rights of citizens based on their faith. Practice your faith freely. If it's against your faith to be gay, that's a personal thing for you to keep in mind. Has nothing to do with anyone else and how they live their life. In short: mind your own business.
You're right Christianity didn't invent marriage. God did.
GOD owns marriage, and GOD invented marriage. You should forward your complaints directly to HIM for review. By the way, it has everything to do with everyone else since "same-sex marriage" is being taught as equal to, and sometimes even more important than opposite sex marriage, which is still in fact, the norm. This is especially poignant, and troubling since pre-school children are being indoctrinated into accepting the gay rights agenda, and the "marriage equality" fallacy.
Alex Avery opinions don't make things so. Before you challenge anyone, find references to support your view, otherwise it has little credibility.
Love Pastor Rick Warren, and his books.
I am a born again atheist.
I personally feel like too many people consider disapproval of homosexuality as "hatred, bigoted.." And such. I think there is hatred on both sides of the argument though. People cursing homosexuals and people cursing those who just don't happen to agree with it. I fall in to the category of disagreement. That doesn't mean I hate anybody. I know many homosexuals and they're good people. I say have your disagreements, that's fine. But stop being jerks.
Daniel Riding "Disapproval of homosexuality" is called homophobia. Even if a homophobic doesn't hate homosexuals, s/he's still capable of discriminating against them in his/her belief system, and the discrimination is wrong.
Daniel Riding Those who curse individuals or groups for their sins are hypocrites. We all sin. Even those of us who seek the Father through the Son continuously. We need to seek God to be made anew as we do not have power to heal ourselves without Him. The more we sin, the more darkness we live under. The more we come to love God through His Son, the more He will work through us through comfort, love, truth, and understanding. We become more compassionate to others as our eyes are open because we see the truth of our own blindness that causes us to sin. It is only by seeking a relationship with the Father through His Son, can we be made whole. He is calling us all....the more we sin, the more difficult it is to hear Him. But it only takes us picking up His Word and learning about His Son with our heart that we begin to heal.
RighteousRebel430 For some maybe, but hating sin includes hating all sin. Not hating sinners as we are all sinners!
paqueenb It's wrong to hate homosexuality, because there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. You don't have to believe that homosexuality is a sin, even if you're Christian.
RighteousRebel430 God the Father decides what is sin. Not you, not me. People that live in sin without a relationship with the Father through His Son, justify the lies they believe. No sin is acceptable and we all are guilty...every one of us are dirty rags. We all need the comfort and love of our precious Savior and His Father! It is only through Him that we can grow in His will, and be transformed. He loves us and wants us to spend time with Him!
I am appalled as a Christian that Pastors or men of God can't answer a simple question about homosexuality and marriage. I have watched Piers Morgan question several supposed Christian ministers or pastors, and not one can answer with an answer that supports the bible! Men stand on the word, and not be pressured with questions that God himself has already answered.
Karen Johnson LOL did you watch the video ? because this pastor clearly did
Gay don't have rights to marry that is simple is that how can produce baby from same sex it's nonsense
It's harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle the Love of Money is the root up all kinds of wickedness
That must be why churches ask for so much of it.
I like how he leaned in to make his final statement.
I'm a devowed Christian but the god who loves all wants harmony. I love people who love whoever they want. 2 of my greatest friends who are some of the most beautiful souls I've ever met who are always there for me are gay. I ask them about their love life too because I'm not scared or feel embarrassed. I simply just want to love everyone and bring them a smile. This outdated logic is annoying. The most "devoted" Christians back a few hundred years ago were called Puritans and they had ideals that even stated if you liked music you would go to hell. Lmao
But what is the first and last thing you hear at church ? Freaking music bro. Worship music, but it's still music. At the end of the day love is love. Also, the definition of church isn't a building established with a bunch of men and women in front of a preacher. It states that church is defined by when 2 or more PEOPLE come together for the grace of god. Notice it says "PEOPLE" Not just men. Not just women. Not just women and men. Fucking people. We are one. We can do so much when you guys who are my family, my people, just come together and understand that we all have different levels of perception. But guess what staya. Love for all of you. All hate and judgement leaves the door when anyone steps foot into my life
We are all people. So just love one another (:
so much misinformation in these comment boxes....I don't know why I continue to scroll down. smh
Warren is spot on!
"I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear the disapproval of society." Amen. I am happy to hear Warren make that statement and stand his ground on the meaning of marriage. I don't like that Piers Morgan stated he will "beat him down." That is how the devil operates. Thus, Morgan showed the same intolerance he is accusing Christians of espousing.
Amen, Pastor Warren ❤
Hah I love reading these comments and laughing at how homophobic many are and just thinking "just let me be gay ffs I love my girlfriend just like you may love your wife/girlfriend if you're a straight male or husband/boyfriend if your'e a straight woman." I may be young, well a teenager, but I know that I'm attracted to women and that it can't be wrong. You can have your own opinions, just please don't be cruel to me or anyone else who loves someone of the same sex and we, well at least me and many of my LGBT friends will respect your opinions and way of life too. wow ok that turned into a rant sorry aha.
@Olivia M Honey, calm down. No one is forcing you to follow anything. You're here b/c you're all hysterical, how typical. You obviously wear the dress in your muff diving household.
Tyran Neous you can’t tell someone that they’re being hysterical and get all hysterical yourself.
Come on! Who is attacking you for being homosexual. Why gay people are so paranoid?
You are free to love whoever you want, you are free to work, you are free to do whatever you want.
As a Christian, I am not called to attack or hate anybody, but it doesn’t mean I have to deny what I believe in order to look “ tolerant” in front of people.
This is not about hate or discrimination, this is about letting people know our opinion.
Great job brother!!!!! Well done!! That ending was epic!!!
AHHHH! WHY YOU MAKE ME AGREE WITH PIERS MORGAN!
Amen Rick!!!
As a christian rick why so scared of just say it in his face that it is sin for a man and man, woman and woman to get married. Why so hard to explain that? Rick , you should also asked him if he have a father and a mother, a grandmother or a grandfather. I don't get why the media is so interested in LGBTQ WHY??? People read the bible and all your questions will be answer like me. I was lost and now I'm found, safe, and happy! I rather judge by the world than be judge by my father God!
Very brave. Thank you.
