I have no religion and find it highly regretable you beleive something armless and natural is bad, only because skydaddy said so. I hope this tribalist ideology will soon come to an end.
if y ou're born that way then why do some men say they're born in the wrong body? Y ou r lef tist ideology is inconsistent with both itself and reality
@@Ice4ever_67love is not sexual in it's base nature nor is it deviant and hedonistic. Far to many are led astray thinking love is love means it's okay to do a you wish.
@@daffy-mikee01basically means anime characters are too hot and WILL make you homosexual. i dont think it is a sin as long as it doesnt go as far to the intercourse and marriage. basically i think the same thing as her
I'll be honest, you actually made it make sense. I've been reading stuff and been trying to understand how it can be a sin and you actually made it make sense. I've heard other people try to explain and some of it made sense, but it didn't put it together like you did where it had the right visuals and the right description where my brain could actually comprehend why its a sin. I appreciate you made this video, wish i saw this 2 years ago X'D
I don’t know if anybody will read this comment but God saved me from homosexuality , and I didn’t commit any sexual acts with this person. I genuinely believed I “loved” this person and I was going to marry them at one point . But to be honest , I don’t think I ever really did love this person and I’m sorry if they read this, I did love them as a best friend. At the time I felt very alone and scared, my father had just left and I was only 11. I felt unworthy , and as I’ve reflected over the years that love that I felt was something that I just wanted because my father wasn’t with me. I wanted to fill the hole in my heart with something. And I stayed with that person for 6 years, and I struggled with anorexia aswell. I came to God 2 years ago, and he saved me. Guys, I was literally so attached to this person I thought I couldn’t live without them. God saved my life, I would be dead by now if it wasn’t for him. I was so suicidal, and depressed , life felt like it was never going to get better :/ it was hard for me to to leave, but God wanted me and he wanted my whole heart . He didn’t want half of it, he wanted all of it. And to be honest I wanted someone to want me badly and God wanted me. So I left the relationship. It was hard and were still good friends but it is a bit awkward sometimes. God saves and he changed my life. It feels almost like a miracle, I remember praying to God to help me leave this person and he did ❤ my heart has no desire for them anymore. It now desires to be perfect for God. I desire to feel Gods love :) He is my father figure. And he will never abandon me or you. Thank you God for your mercy and kindness for taking me out of Sheol. And thank you for the internet for helping me share this comment. Amen. Amen. amen bless all of you.
You're unfortunately mentally ill. You gave up who you were because of an invisible man in the sky, I feel so sorry for you. They got you :(, save yourself from religion seriously religion is evil, READ the Bible please. You'll see how evil it is.
I really respect you for making this video. As a teenager, I was yelled at, publicly shamed/humiliated, and banned from a few discord servers for trying to express these same beliefs in a kind, respectful, and loving manner. Even today I am still scared to share my opinion most of the time, and just try to avoid the topic. You are very brave for having made this video, and I really REALLY appreciate it. You are such a well-spoken and kind girl. Love from a fellow sister in Christ
@@uselizard2.0I mean that’s how people in general should be No matter the religion color or race You must always have some sense that you have to respect them I learned that very well being the only Filipino by my self usually in classes back in my time in the Caribbean doing primary and high school Such diversity and I respect them
So it stops being a sin when you're proficient? That's silly. You can't get good at it unless you practise it first. One's orientation is a trait they have, not something they "practise". You can't classify it as right or wrong, it just is what it is. When God himself said it's not good to be alone, who are you to insist that someone should be single their whole life just because they're different to you?
@@MusicalRaichu God does prohibit homosexual sex. If you are attracted to the same gender it is ok, but if you are having intercourse with the same sex, it is a sin. As well as sex without marriage. God approved only one type of sexual relationship: man + woman = marriage. Genesis 19: 1-13. Leviticus 18:22. Leviticus 20:13. Romans 1:26-30. 1 Corinthians 6: 9
@@TomasTomi30 They're popular misconceptions. You do not speak for God. The Bible "prohibits" neither premarital nor gay secs. One man one woman is pagan in origin. Gen 19 is attempted gangraip. Lev is an ancient Israelite taboo only against male ainal secs, now obsolete. Rom 1 says idolaters did unseemly things, not that same secs acts are sin. 1 Cor 6 says male bedders (whatever that meant) did something so hurtful it was incompatible with the life of love in God's kingdom. You're using God's word to hurt people. The bible says "it is not good to be alone" and love fulfils ALL God's commands.
Love this. This is a great example of sharing the truth with love. And shout out to Logo for being open-minded enough to listen to what would probably be very challenging to him without immediately jumping to offense or outrage. That takes courage and character.
Seriously Thank you for this video!!! I have been trying to find an answer to the whole "Mistranslation" bizz, but there's barely any videos confronting this issue. BUT THEN I found this video last night! I am very Grateful for this Video. Keep these videos Up, I believe that you will become one of the biggest Christian youtubers out there Someday. I Can now answer people when they say "IT'S A MISTRANSLATION" Thank you, Christian Blue :)
Wahh, hello. I'm not here to judge but I just wanted to ask if you converted religions from Christianity since your current profile pic is of (I think?) a Buddha statue? Not really expecting a response (it's been like 3 whole years since this comment sorry!! I'm curious!!) but if you've left the faith it's sad to see you go. :( Hope that's not the case but if it is, I can't help but pray for you because of 2 Peter 2:20-22 (the whole of 2 Peter 2, really) - "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.'" If it isn't the case and you're still Christian, I feel like I should offer a gentle suggestion as a fellow Christian to perhaps avoid having Buddha as a profile pic, but if you're Buddhist now, my bad!!! Super sorry if this is too nosy; I know the verse I quoted can feel harsh but I can't bypass the seriousness of it in good conscience. :(
Idk I'd it's just me, but I always thought of it as Satan trying to hurt God indirectly. Because Satan doesn't have any power over God but has the ability to tempt people away from the Gospel. I think that same philosophy goes into abortion as well because if we don't reproduce, God won't have followers, and even God said he was a jealous God. Please share your thoughts on this philosophy that's becoming more widespread.
love how creative you are with your visuals and how clear you are with the teachings, and how you make an effort to show people that just because it’s a sin, that doesn’t mean we have anything against individuals struggling with this sin. thank you for preaching the word of God 💗💞 - a sister in Christ
I used to be bi. The bitter truth is I was only bi to mess around with guys. I was never bi to date or marry. I was in it for fun. And it was not, it was embarrassing and awkward and strange for me and I fell into a rabbit hole of depression and loneliness. No matter how many times the number went up, i was not satisfied. The hunger only grew bigger. When Christ opened my eyes I made the choice to be straight again, that was a year and 6 days ago. I still have temptations, I still have a problem every now and then. But what do we do? We pick up our cross and crucify our flesh, daily. You’re only condemned if you practice a lifestyle of sin. I left that behind! And even if condemned… I still love you.
That's literally just sex addiction, straight people also experience that. You being bisexual has quite literally nothing to do with that. Nevertheless, I'm glad you're doing better now, more or less.
@@dariusurbanovic6797 sexual is in the word bisexual. To be gay is, by definition, a sexual preference. But it was also an addiction. Experimentation became a problem. In Romans chapter 1:26-27 it says, “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." This is happening to a lot of people. Burning in our lust for one another and leaving behind what is good and natural so that we can simply satisfy a guilty pleasure. It starts with lust and ends in confusion. I had to change.
@@thefruitsoffaith7 There are words like Biromantic and Homoromantic, where people are purely attracted to their partner romantically, same-sex attraction isn't necessary sexual y'know. From what you described you're probably Bisexual and heteroromantic, where you're attracted to both genders sexually, but only romantically to women. But in the end, it's your sexuality and your business if you want to go by any labels. And you really shouldn't expect people to be exactly like you, sexuality is pretty complicated and all people experience it differently. Some bisexual people aren't romantically interested in the opposite sex at all and that's fine, because it's literally just their business. I understand that same-sex attraction was draining and uncomfortable for you and that's completely fine, you shouldn't be expected to do anything you don't want to and neither should anyone else.
@@thefruitsoffaith7 Not when it comes to biology, especially the biology of humans. You don't need to be a biologist to understand that us being social creatures is what makes us so successful as a species. So it's a given that our sexuality would be a complicated subject as it does impact our behavior with others, saying things like "heterosexuality good and homosexuality bad" is a disservice to humans as a whole. But yeah, I understand that keeping it simple would be for the best, but I'm not very good at writing these responses as of right now. 😭
I like your video. I'm somebody who struggles with SSA a lot, since I was 16; but I can remember a time when I wasn't like this. I am convinced that it is the result of spiritual/moral corruption beginning at an early period of my life. I can overcome it with God's help, and if I cannot; I can at least resist it.
The followers of the different churches that paul preached to used to practice homosexuality and in very grand ways such as bi-sexual orgies. There is always hope in Christ. We are a new creation in him.
This was a really good video. I like how you are able to help others understand Christians when often people often think Christians don't understand lgbt.
Thank you for being so respectful :3 My dad is a VERY strict christian and one day I asked him why gay is a sin and he told me that it is a sin if they sleep with each other however it is not a sin for them to have only romantic feelings. He called it a mental disability I personally dont see it as a disability I just don't support them having sex
It's so sweet how much you cared that this video would turn out informational and not at all offensive. You have a big heart and I wish you God's best blessings ❤️
I'm personally non religious but I want to believe there's a god but just most religions don't accept LGBTQ and I am a part of that community. I respect anyone who's religious and I'm here to learn more about religion so I can appreciate you guys more! I do like the core values of Christianity and think that what it teaches is a good but I personally don't want to be a part of it because I feel like I'd just be disrespecting God by being LGBTQ. I do respect you guys and your religion and think it's a good thing to have just me personally I'm non religious but I respect religion!
hey there! Gay Christian here. Ill tell you my experience about being a Christian with the challenges i went through. I was pretty day at first because ever since i was 10 years old, i always wondered why I was made like this and thought it was unfair that i just so happen to be this way and I cant love the people i truly loved. But then I had friends who supported me and one of my very religious friends told me that me being homosexual was no different to any other person in this world because everyone is a sinner and sins everyday so there is nothing stopping me from becoming a Christian even though i was gay. Im still trying to figure out why I was because in the video, it doesn't really tackle that. while sure, my homosexuality is just like every other sin, i still didn't choose it and that is different to other sins like theft, lying or greed as that is something you can act upon while you cant change or do anything with your sexuality. I don't know all the answers but atleast I was able to find my place in the Christian community
Hi, I’m a Roman Catholic and I’ll explain some things, first of all, if you know anything about the God of the Bible, you’d know that he likes order rather than chaos, do you put a fire on the couch or in the fireplace? It’s the same for sex and marriage, marriage is reserved for one man and one woman, anything outside of that will burn your house down, that’s why most are against it including me
@@KarbonnieI’d disagree with you saying that unlike greed, theft, and lying, you can’t act on homosexuality. I don’t see how a person choosing not to steal is any different from you not acting/ turning your mind away from ssa. With the examples you’ve given the difference might be that theft and deceit are more momentary decisions, and ssa is constant in comparison. But it’s not the only sin like that. Personally I struggle with sloth/ drunkenness. In the flesh I don’t ever want to do anything or be mentally present. This is a result of internal and external factors but at this point it is what it is. The point is that, similarly to your ssa, this is an inclination that I have present with me in every decision, activity, moment of my life etc. I do not choose this feeling. I just always have it. And it is distinctly different from what I actually want. So, even if it’s not something dominating and obvious we are all constantly fighting sinful inclinations of some kind. We do have a sinful nature after all. “We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners” -I forget who said this
hi dear!! God loves you just as you are right now, whether you are part of the community or not! You will not disrespect him by being a sinner, as we are all sinners! He wants you and loves you so much, and he wants you just as you are, right now. He calls us to come just as we are, so please do not let you being apart of the LGBT community stop you! you are loved
I'm ex LGBTQ. I stopped because i had a NDE and saw a glimpse of real hell. Yes if you live like this you can and you may enjoy the desires. But you will have to pay once your life ends but you can always go back to God and he will take you in i still have the feelings but i just can't go back to what i was doing before i want eternal life and to escape eternal damnation. Which is very very much real and if you deal with this just like me you WILL have a stressful time but i know i am in the time for healing. And i am definitely healing. And you can too, Don't think about the stress of having to be with a woman just focus on Jesus and he will make a way. ❤
@@kineshy I watched this years ago when I was a young teen, it hit me spiritually when I heard it, but I can't wait to get to know this God I am starting to understand what getting to know him actually means. And I don't want to rely on faith alone I want him and I to be best friends. The world would call me crazy, and sure talking to God out loud without hearing his voice yet. Despite the fact I did hear his voice once when I was in the middle east gets me fired up. I know he is watching me I don't feel alone when I am alone like idk it's a strange feeling or thing to say but that's is something I noticed. ruclips.net/video/helxFeG-0n0/видео.htmlsi=EZSBYn6uSyZ33VNq
All the people talking for gay people and excusing it but they won't look at a comment like yours or listen to testimonies like yours to see that even the people who were in it denounce it so sad the world we live in but thank you for your comment and I pray you keep fighting to good fight. Stay strong as a warrior. Amen.
God be with you and bless you. And don't feel bad about the tension or anxiety for sexual sin it's the same for all of us a it's root is playing off if our flesh. It will get easier just listen to God and pray for help with the flesh.
It’s 2 o clock in the morning and I just wanna say this actually helped way more than I expected. Thank you so much for just… making this so easy for sleep deprived me to understand.
@@fiji.christianblueWell nobody is inherently gay or straight. Nobody is born that way. Nobody is specifically straight. Our bodies are capable of attraction to both. It is all a mindset. Even the straightest of men and gayest of women aren’t set to that. They aren’t made that way. It’s a way of thought. Even the gayest of lesbians can be attracted to or fall in love with a man. Why? Because sexuality isn’t something set in stone. Attraction isn’t set in stone. It’s based on the mind. But yes, homosexuality throughout multiple points has been declared a sin. When we say sin is forgivable it’s not some free pass. Turn the other cheek isn’t just to anyone. It’s to those who genuinely seek repentance. You are all oblivious. It doesn’t work like a “you just have to try” pass. You have to be reborn of god. John 14:23 1 John 3 Meaning you turn from nearly all sin. Being nearly sinless. However, you must be extremely repentance toward the sin you do commit. If I slap you in the face, you are gonna say “hey! What’s you do that for?” If I say, “but it wasn’t really that hard” degrading what I did. Or “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.” Those are simply words. Actions go farther. Faith without works is dead. Imagine I slap you again later on. You say,”Why did you hit me again?” I say, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it anymore!” This time trying to use stronger words to show more care. This process continues until about the 4th time. You put your arm near me, and I get tense. You hit me again. At this point, your words have little to no value for me to take. The 5th time, you move your arm and I flinch. The last few times, there is only me saying what Jesus says. 1 John 3:6-9 Those who truly follow christ and are born again, will not know much sin.
This is epic I love you for this! I agree, I’ve had gender dysphoria since I was young and same sex attraction but God has done such great things with my struggles like not only making me stronger but making more creative and giving me the ability to ask for much bigger things in faith through that faith struggle and I’m happy to do what God says, I struggle sometimes but for the most part it’s worth it, not always immediately rewarding but God uses everything for the good of those who love him yes
omg thank you so much for making this video. I'm a 13 year old boy and I've struggled ever since I was about 12. Still having problems with it but this video helps. I honestly wish I had a friend like you so bad.
personally i interpret it as the same way sex before marriage was a sin, homosexuality was a sin because gay marriage wasnt even a concept. the same way we see in timothy, "women shall not teach over men" was in the context that AT THE TIME women were uneducated. Now plenty of women teach over men, because we are afforded the education to do so. I believe that the same way homosexuality is now legal in some countries, u can partake free of sin as u would in a hetero relationship
12:50 I'm so glad that you brought that up I know that a lot of churches -even ones I have gone to- will take the verse of the next passage which is believers submit to one another out of context to say that wives don't have to submit to their husbands. I'm still a older child myself so I don't have to worry about any of this for quite a few years but all this to say my respect for you has skyrocketed and even though I haven't finished the video so far I agree with everything you say. Thank you so much for uploading! God bless you!
This is probably the best explanation of this topic that I've ever seen on the internet! I just bookmarked it to give to people, when I have discussions with them about homosexuality. I love how you kept going back to scripture and you also have so much love and kindness in how you presented it. And even having your LGBTQ friend on the video to help edit your script is just awesome! I am a Christian who has personally struggled with SSA and has identified as bisexual in the past. There is so much hope that the true gospel offers to people! I have experienced this joy and freedom found in Jesus! The narrow path of dying to our fleshly desires is hard and painful in the moment (Matthew 7:13-14). But the abundant life that Jesus offers everyone is SO MUCH better than the hopelessness of living in sin! This includes ALL sin, not just homosexuality. If you're reading this and you struggle with SSA, there is hope for you found in Jesus! Repent and experience the new life that He offers. Be blessed, dear friend
Good way to put it! I'm glad some younger people are standing up for Bible truths! I do think it is tragic how the church has generally treated homosexuals. We ought to love them and preach the gospel to them like anyone else. And if they are a Christian we ought to do what we can to support them fighting their sinful urges, not encouraging the sin or condemning them for having the urge, but helping them through prayer and scriptures.
one man one woman is a pagan custom that was imposed on Christianity when the majority of members were Greeks and Romans. "Biblical marriage" is illegal for multiple reasons.
@@MusicalRaichu It wasnt imposed on christianity because the belief was inherited from judaism. HELLO GORDON. Therefore its not pagan. In addition to this you talk about how Christianity is very pagan yet you call yourself a Christian. Im not sure what bible your reading let it be king James, Orthodox Study bible, or the Catholic bible or anything in between but I can safely say that it is indeed a sin. Again, Sodum and Gamora is a JEWISH Story. God bless you, awaiting your response.
@@MusicalRaichu Pagans did not have only 1 partner. In fact they orgies: group sex. Israelite were the ones who practised monogamy, thier kings of themselves as somewhat better, so they have polygamious marriages, but God made it clear: One man and one woman...
@@MusicalRaichu Romans were pagans before anf they have had group sex: orgy, not monogamious marrriages... It seems like you completely made this pagan custom up.
I love everything about this video. As a Christian, I clicked this video with a healthy dose of scepticism, but I was pleasantly surprised at how clearly and competently you communicate the Christian stance on homosexuality while compromising on neither the love Jesus commands us to have, nor the discernment between moral right and wrong. You're truly an awesome creator and I'm proud to call you and other cool people like you my brothers and sisters in Christ. ❤️I know that (at least for me) it's very hard to walk the line between biblical accuracy and biblical love. This video really refreshed my perspective on what it means to truly love everybody and it was a great push of motivation to keep investing into my friendships to non-Christian friends wholeheartedly and without any ulterior motives or judgemental thoughts. Would you believe it, they even invented a kink flag for me 🇩🇪 (I'm German)
I’m glad you referenced the original greek for your argument, as a person who likes to look at things from all angles that really surprised me in a nice way (most christians who discuss this topic don’t look into the greek) ❤
Thank you for making this video ❤ It perfectly explains the Christian view on homosexuality, as well as how we should treat the LGBTQ+ community. It's always amazing to see Christians and homosexuals being friends. Have a great day and God bless you!
There is not one "Christian view" on this topic, there are several. majority view in the west: it's ok, it's not a sin next major view: all non-reproductive secs is a sin even for married couples less common view: this video a minority view, rejected before but making a comeback: gay people need to stop being gay
I used to be gay and it took so long, but God gave the courage to talk to Him about it, because it was always a topic that i just ignored with my relationship with Him, but He eventually gave me the courage to admit it to Him and slowly but surely He helped me pick up and carry my cross and He did deliver me from it and it was then when i truly understood what Jesus had done for me and all of us sinners alike, but also i must confess, i did a thing this year earlier and backslid badddddd but we good, i felt like a dog iykwim my bible resding homies, but we good. Guys. Gay people. Bruhs. Come to God as you are and dont be shy to ask Him these things, Hes gonna tell you the truth and its probably gonna be scary at first, BUT, BIG BUT, you will end up being at peace with God knowing that its better to identify with Jesus Christ than having your identity in the world. When people say Jesus loved you, they mean it! Take it from dude who had purple hair just to show off the fact that hes attracted to men and prided himself in it. Thank God tho, because He really humbled and comforted me, and showed me His great big love for me and every human being. Come to Him as you are, theres this saying, you dont wash yourself before you get into a bath, so come to God as you are and let His love shown through Jesus sacrifice for us all change you in due time, one step at a time ❤ Now. Jesus loves you! And Hes coming soon 🙌🏼❤❤❤❤
"Pick the cross" for a homosexual means find a loving same sex partner, marry and maybe raise kids in responsibility. It surely doesnt mean to escape in a life alone in celibacy.
@@seekerhonestno “Pick up your cross” means denying your sinful Nature For gays it would mean denying their homosexuality(there’s no Way around it) For most others it would mean leaving their porn addiction(a very normal problem) And for whoever are able to avoid it they have other sin
@@vikingdrengenspiders7875 Thanks for sharing your self righteous man-made rules for homosexuals ;) (Dont even think that you follow Jesus in that way ;) ) Homosexuals will go on marrying their same sex partners and life a responsible life and raise kids. It OF COURSE NOT will mean they life alone in a fake celibacy a useless life. And please dont use vikings in your nick, vikings had gay and bi sex.
I have another question,,,,, Is being Asexual (no sexual attraction felt) and/ or Apothisexual (complete repulsion from sex) a sin? I find myself relating with these two labels and I've prayed about it but havent gotten a clear answer. Amazing video btw! All ur videos are so sweet and awesome and really insightful :3
No, actually! Paul puts it nicely 1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 7-9 "Now regarding the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to abstain from sexual relations. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. . . . But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another. So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows-it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust." Since as an asexual one doesn't burn with lust, it actually helps a lot with following the Lord ^-^
Why would happening to feel a certain way be a sin? You don't choose to feel a way. You only choose what to do with the feeling that comes to you. In the Eastern tradition, feelings and thoughts that occur to us are called logismoi. They come to you from elsewhere. Even if the feeling or thought is to do something terrible, that is not a sin, and it will not lead you into sin if you disregard it.
Honestly I just asked God and he said that it was a corrupt version of love but I was very confused because of all the other videos on RUclips convincing me that being gay is/ isn't a sin, and honestly I believe he sent this video to me and I just want to say thank you and bless you blue
Be wary of lukewarm Christians who compromise on their faith to fit in, rather than spread the truth. Those are the wolves disguised as sheep that we are warned about
You had me on my toes there with the thumbnail, but after skipping to 3:15, watching for 15 seconds, and seeing the comments I am relieved to find that biblical truth is being taught. Anyways, it seems like your audience really enjoyed this video, so keep up the good work!
Omg, this is such a high tier level of explaining this sensitive subject, you my friend conveyed the truth without displaying any sort of judgment or anger towards our homosexual brothers and sisters, I’ve seen pastors struggle to convey why it is homosexuality is wrong without coming off as judging and angry, you are destined for greatness, that’s all I want to say, good job 👍 may god bless you!
@@fiji.christianblue I believe you are, you should give yourself some credit, but yeah srsly keep up the good work, I know you can make it on this cursed platform, just keep at it, and you’ll succeed.
@@astromattz I am genuinely not trying to be rude or anything but I would seriously advise you to be careful about using 'omg' in your original coment. I don't know if you know this or not but that's called blasphemy and this basically means you used God's Holy Name in vain. God takes this offense very seriously and it was even punishable by death in the old testament. Again not trying to be rude or anything but just letting you know you shouldn't use God's name in vain. Have a wonderful rest of your day :)
I would like to add that when God said not to say his name in vain he meant the tetragrammaton Yahweh or Jehovah. Calling God God is simply a place holder. However, if your conscience tells you the word "God" is also wrong I'll respect it. Offend not thy brother, right? Although that chapter is about not eating food offered to idols and being a stumbling block to weak more recent Christians. Some Christians were arguing that if they believed in their mind that those gods were fake and non-existent than technically they could eat food offered to idols because they didn't acknowledge the gods the food was offered to. Paul argued that they still shouldn't eat food offered to idols to not tempt weaker Christians into actually worshipping those gods. @@lawrenceobi6954
Don't follow Religion. Follow Jesus Christ, have a PERSONAL relationship with him. He is always waiting with open arms. He wants to listen to you always
I don't think a lot of people understand how, same-sex attraction isn't something that God made, but rather we as humans corrupted the feelings of love that God gave us. Just like God gave us medicine, yet we humans corrupted into drugs.
yeh, this is still a rough topic for me, but I know that lucifer (im not good at getting my point across sorry) twisted Gods word in order to make Eve sin. In Leviticus 18:22, it says “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” But people say that it’s ok if you don’t actually do it, and you can just be gay without doing anything??? Like a label???? This sounds mean im sorry, just really confused
@@NatsukiTheFairyBee Hey about "People say its okay if you dont actually do it and you just be gay without doing anything" now ill ask you is it a sin if you dont masturbate but conciously look at women as an object. its lusting aswell so if you're just gay but dont lie with another man its a sin too, why because its keeping you from getting a wife and having kids to give life to future generations and let God's will be done for their lives too
No if anything it proves that sexual relationships are more about love then about the need to procreate, how can you compare drugs to peoples who likes others of the same sex ? The truth is that all peoples are different from each others and some will live in ways you don't approve and you have to live with it, because they are still peoples, normal peoples and treating them like drug addicts is sick Also if we're gonna bring nature to the table, since when doing sex only to procreate has been the norm in sentient beings ? Have you seen dolphins ? I undertand that god made us wise enough to follow his rules, but sex is still a natural part of our lives, loving sex shouldn't be a sin
@@MatteoPicone-yy7pk of love is sacrificial, self giving, merciful, enduring sympathetic and more other things. God’s meaning of love isn’t sexual. It IS wrong, to be attracted to the same gender, especially sexually. You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female: it is an abomination. - Leviticus 18:22
Got recommended this 2 years late but I gotta say. The start was not where I thought you were going in a good way. Thanks for being a voice that shows Christian’s call to love each other as brothers and sisters but not compromising the Word for the world. I hope the past few years have been good to you and I’m looking forward to hearing more of you! God bless!
The worst part is.. You can't really win, honestly Im aroace, so that makes me apart of LGBT, however i stopped having pride in it cuz i was idolizing myself and being prideful about it. So i kinda took my flag down and pretty much removed it in my life. However, be LGBT. I will not hate y'all. I love you all ❤️ Thats just my take
You can win through Christ, I use to be homosexual. At a young age I was exposed to it yet I knew something was wrong, there was conviction. Yet I wanted it, but God set me free. If God says it’s a sin then it is, and for a reason. Ofc he cares for us and loves us but not our sin
I loved your addition of your friend, this really made this video work much better. I mostly agree, I'll make a few nitpicks: -Lev 20 is civil law, not moral law, so no longer applies. Lev 18 does though, and unlike many I'd say *all* of Lev 18 still applies (apart from the "cut off from the people" bit at the end). -I'm not sure if I agree with your exegesis of Ephesians 5. -But in any case (for Christians at least) we don't need to speculate reasons for why various types of sexual immorality is wrong because the bible already tells us in 1 Cor 6: 12-20. There is the question remaining of why non-Christians (who don't have the holy spirit) are also sinning when committing sexual immorality, but clearly that's a secondary concern. The bible also tells us in 1 Cor 5: 12 that the sexual sin of non-Christians is not our concern.
No difference whether you're attracted to men or to women. Having feelings? A crush is a perfectly normal part of human life. Acting on it? Are you hurting someone, taking advantage of someone, being unfaithful, being abusiv? That's what you need to ask.
@@MusicalRaichuit’s the context of wether of it’s a sin or not in the eyes of God, and in the Bible it states homosexuality is a sin. God describes man and women coming together as one and biologically it’s the same that a man and women shall be together.
@@joeythemuffin6748 The Bible states no such thing, that's an old wives' tale. How can a harmless biological trait that someone doesn't choose be a sin? Unless your Bible has been mistranslated to say that, which has happened since the 1970s. The Bible clearly says that what is a sin is hurting people, failure to love. Everything boils down to that Mat 7.12, Mat 22.40, Rom 13.8-10, Micah 6.8. That makes religious oppression of gay relationships is a sin. "God" doesn't describe anything. The Bible refers to marriage as it was practised at the time, a dominant male over one (or more in the OT) submissive females. But it says nothing one way or the other about two men or two women.
@@MusicalRaichu I'm curious, did you watch the video? Since you clearly don't seem to understand where it WAS specified that homosexuality was a sin. Even with the translation.(This isn't meant to be condesending, just kinda curios). And a sin is in fact not JUST something that is hurting someone. Jesus(who is God) says that even looking at a woman with lustful intent is adultery, which is a sin. (Matt. 5:28) That sin is not physically hurting people. Yet it is still a sin. Another example of this would be a white lie. Despite it being used with good intentions, it is still a lie, and therefore a sin I think that you have not watched the video, and are just blindly going around commenting nonsense, or you have hardened your heart as to not listen to anything that would call out your sinful nature. Please pray and ask God for guidance and for open ears, eyes, and an open heart. I love you because God loves you, and I'm praying for you...
@@Mikayla-mk6qv I did watch the video, but it was a while ago so I don't remember all her details. IIRC she claims that homoxesuality is not a sin. She thinks acting on the desire is. Trouble is, the video is incorrect. Homoxesuality was discovered late 19th cent so there's no way it's in the Bible or in long-standing Christian tradition either. The issue in the Bible was that placing a male in a woman's role in bed (or bluntly, to poke a guy tween the legs) denigrated him because he was placed in the role of a social inferior. A woman taking an active role with a man also shamed him. The issue in later Christian tradition is that all non-reproductive secs is a sin even between husband and wife. So you see in neither case was the issue homoxesuality. The two ideas that specifically homoxesual desire is a sin, and that acting on that desire is inherently sinful developed only a few decades ago as a result of mistranslated Bibles coming out since the 70s. The justification that it was because God designed us for man and woman only developed a few years later. These false ideas, however, do incalculable harm to the point where children suffer anguish, shame, rejection, illness, even death. This video tries to apply a bandaid by claiming "God still loves you just don't act on it" without realizing how dehumanizing this can be. About sinning in your heart ... it means that the harm begins with a wish to do it even before you've done it. Jesus taught that our attitude should be to want to do good and not to even entertain what might hurt others. Paul wrote that "love your neighbour" fulfils ALL God's commands. Did you look up the verses I gave you? These scriptures make loving gay relationships right and condeming them wrong.
Hey nice video. This is one of the more pricky issues in Christianity and its never fun when people have extreme reaction to Christians simply following what is in the Bible. Part of the issue seems to stem from self proclaimed christians who dont really understand the religion apart from "Love everyone", which while true doesnt really do it justice. Thought it was great how you managed to covey the Bibe in an informative way. God bless.
Just like its never fun when people have extreme reactions to people coming out as transgenders. My aunt condemned me to Hell despite the fact that I converted to Jesus at age 14.
I have a genuine question. I know this video is a little bit old but as a newer Christian I've been struggling finding anything about would we go to hell when we die if we still had homosexual desires or in a homosexual relationship when we die? This isn't for me mainly though I do find myself having attractions to both genders but I have some queer friends that don't really believe in christ because they think that either they aren't good enough or feel shunned because a lot of Christians say that all homosexuals are going to hell 😔
Hey friend, welcome to the family of Jesus! I'm sorry some Christians have given you and your friends the impression that gay people can't have Jesus. Here's what I believe! All sins are forgivable. Jesus came to save sinners! If we put our faith in Him, we will be saved. Whether our sin is homosexual, heterosexual, or non sexual, it's all sin, and Jesus is bigger than it. When we become Christians we don't magicly at the snap of a finger no long desire sin. But even when we have the Holy Spirit we still sin and struggle with sin. It doesn't matter what sin you still struggle with, you will still be saved as long as your faith is in Jesus. So to answer your question, yes people with same sex attraction can go to heaven. Even if they've acted on it. The only requirement for heaven is true faith in Jesus. True faith in Jesus does include pursuing righteousness and running from sin, but it does NOT include being perfect or doing everything right. Here are some verses I think apply 2 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 6:14, Hebrews 4:16, Galatians 5:17, Romans 7:20-25 I recommend reading the book of Romans! It gives fantastic information on how salvation works. Anyway, thank you for the comment. I hope this helps! If you want to talk more, my dms are always open on Discord and Instagram. Just let me know, and I'll give you my current handles :)
@@fiji.christianblue yeah! I would love to talk more about it! I actually prayed last night because I am conflicted and I feel lost. I then saw this video like one of the first few videos on my RUclips feed so maybe my prayers were answered ^^ Discord would work fine!
I'm ex LGBTQ, I told my queer friends my NDE and they all stopped being my friends I have no more queer friends, h0mos3aul feelings stem from your experiences but the strong erges are demons real evil spirits speaking to your flesh to give in. You'll notice it in waves like a strong desire than it goes away or you pray for Jesus to take this from you and it goes away. So it's definitely out of this world and is indeed demonic it's okay to have the feelings but if you go lay down with another person the same gender you will saving up wrath against yourself. I don't wanna play with that fire. So I'll just carry my cross. And if you truly love Jesus you will too

As someone who has been struggling with homosexual tendencies his whole adult life as well as other sexually immoral sins, it's good to see other Christians show love and understanding to us brothers and sisters who struggle with such thoughts rather than just tell us repent or go to hell.
Hi, this comment is not meant to provoke anyone, or meant to disrespect any religion. Just asking questions. Okay so homosexuality is a sin. And according to your explanation, gay people should repress their sinful urges, which you admit must be hard. I want to clear up some things before we get started. Homosexuality is not all ‘sexual’ thoughts. Lots of people attribute homosexuality to just the ‘sex’. For example, when two men hold hands in the street, or a kid is taught that different types of families exist, a lot of people come out of the woodworks to equate it to pornography, and deem it ‘repulsive’ and ‘vulgar’. No. Homosexuality is not a ‘lifestyle’, it’s not ‘whomever you sleep with in the bedroom’. It’s who you are and who you love. It’s that feeling of the butterflies in your stomach when you have a crush, the warmth you feel when see your partner smiling, and the small moments you share. Now, saying homosexuality is just pure and tender and fluffy is diluting the discourse just as much as reducing homosexuality to sex is. Obviously, sex and homosexuality are not separate, in fact they are inextricably tied. But that is just as much true for heterosexual couples. Defining homosexual lust as particularly sinful rather than heterosexual lust (if it’s regulated and controlled after marriage), does raise some eyebrows from me, but that is not the point of my comment, or my question (though feel free to answer that if you’d like). What I’m more interested is: what is the intended solution for gay people in Christianity? The reason I took so long to distance homosexuality from the viewpoint that it is just ‘sex’, is to reason with Christians the difficulty of what you are asking. When you say ‘deny those sinful urges’, that sounds like you are barring queer people from having any fulfilling romantic relationships- to reject all the experiences that could equate to love. Is that true? I’m not shaming anyone who thinks this, I just want to know your opinion. This is a difficult topic, but it’s one that has to be had because it would be nice if some Christians could better understand the difficulty of the queer experience. (And for the people who say that accepting Christ can rid you of your homosexuality, or you’ve had a religious experience that turned you straight… that is nice for you, but it would be helpful to understand that some people have begged and tried so much harder than most people can imagine for that same experience, and it didn’t work. That does not mean they weren’t ‘Christian’ enough, it just means that your experience, isn’t THE experience.)
Hello! While I can't exactly answer all your questions, I do want to clarify that heterosexual lust is also a sin: "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." - Matthew 5:28. And we already know that adultery is a sin, according to the Ten Commandments, which come from God "Thou shall not commit adultery"- Exodus 20:14. Also, I can't relate to feeling homosexual while also being a Christian, but I'll say that Christians struggling with this should continue to pray, and no one knows exactly when or how long they could wait to get their prayers answered but in that time its important to keep your faith in God that He can get you through it. Love was never created to be anything other than between a woman and a man. This does mean that according to the bible homosexuality is a sin, just like stealing, lying, etc. When you accept Jesus, He doesn't expect you to suddenly get rid of these sins; it takes time. That's why he forgives us when we keep going back to a certain sin we are struggling in. "Denying the sinful urges" was never supposed to be easy, but God shows us grace and also helps us. On the other hand, this doesn't mean we continue to sin because he forgives us every time. If you truly love God, then you would want to follow his Word and will and try your best to not give in to those sins. I also want to point out that homosexuality, while being challenging to give up for most, is not a greater sin than any other (and that includes heterosexual lust). So if you think about it, even if we try to get rid of all these sins (like homosexuality), we will still fall short because we are not perfect. There is so solution to sin, in general. Maybe, yes, we can overcome homosexuality, but we will always eventually fall again into some sort of sin because we are human. Jesus didn't completely remove sin, he forgave them. The good thing is that Christianity is about having faith in God, and once we are saved, no sin can take that away. I hope this helps somewhat :)
"I prayed for years for God to make me straight. He didn't" To quote John Bevere... "If your experience was anything like mine, you were exposed to porn at a young age. I was twelve when a friend showed me a magazine, and it grabbed hold of me. When I got saved, some struggles left immediately. I stopped living like a frat kid, going to parties and drinking excessively. I was instantly freed from cussing. But my struggle with porn proved far more stubborn, even extending into the first couple years of my marriage. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break free. Then, I went on a four-day fast, and I was completely delivered. Puzzled, I asked God why, for so long, it seemed I couldn’t break free no matter what I tried-but then one day, the bondage finally broke. What He showed me was that, before getting free, I was sorrowful over my sin, but it was the wrong kind of sorrow. Paul tells us, “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death” (2 Corinthians 7:10 ESV). When I couldn’t get free, I was afraid of the consequences that continuing to struggle could have in my life. I didn’t want it to ruin my ministry or my marriage. Leading up to the time when I got free, everything changed, I began to be grieved that my sin was hurting the hearts of those I loved. This was godly sorrow-a sorrow motivated not by fear of personal loss, but by love for God and others. And it produced a deep repentance in my heart. If you are struggling to get free, the first question you need to ask yourself is: “Who is the focus of my sorrow?” Do you have worldly sorrow, fearing the personal consequences of your sin? Or do you have godly sorrow, driven by genuine love? The first kind of sorrow will keep you bound. The latter will lead you toward freedom. Today, I want you to pray that God would produce godly sorrow in you. Ask to know Him more intimately, and that you would be genuinely grieved over any sin that would get in the way of that intimacy. When you get your motivation right, it makes all the difference. " John Bevere also gives an example of one of his friends, to further illustrate his point. "A number of years ago, I had a friend who was addicted to smoking cigarettes. Despite knowing how bad the habit was for him, he would still find himself smoking four packs a day. For years, he prayed and asked God to set him free from it, but nothing changed. Then, one day, he saw a friend in his church get instantly delivered from the same problem. My friend was so frustrated. Angry, he went to God and exclaimed, “I’ve been crying out to You for two years! Why haven’t You delivered me?!” God spoke to him and said, “Because you still like it.” He was stunned, overcome by the revelation that God couldn’t deliver him from something he still liked and desired. That’s because God will never override our free will. He repented, asking God to help him to stop desiring the very thing that kept him in bondage, and was instantly delivered. This man went from smoking four packs of cigarettes a day to none-and he’s been free till this day. Paul exhorts us, “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9 NKJV). If you want to get free, you can’t be double-minded. You must passionately hate the sin you want to be free from. It was only when my heart began to break over how my struggle with porn was breaking God’s heart that I began walking in freedom. When I started to see my sin the way God sees it-for the destructive, damaging, detestable thing that it was-I hated it through and through. Pray that God would help you see your sin for what it is. Ask Him to help you hate it. When there is no part of you that still loves your sin, you’ll find it so much easier to let go of."
I like the way how you explain the teachings in the Bible! So simple and straight to the point in the most wholesome way possible! God bless you and everyone who has watched this video 🤗
I mostly like how you handled this topic since this is something a lot of people seek after. I also like you're style of teaching about the Bible which I haven't seen from any other Christian RUclipsr, but I just wanted to add that I'm not a fan of the term "gay Christian" since we find our identity in Christ and not in the way of the world. if we call ourselves a gay Christian it shows we serve two masters which God doesn't like.
I'm currently ex-lesbian as of today. I have had attraction to the same sex but i doubt now that those feelings were real. I am a Christian and am trying to tackle these feelings the best way i can.
I agree with you, homosexuality is a sin, but we shouldnt hate homosexual people cuz we area also sinners, we are all sinners and straight people arent better than gay people cuz we all sinned and i think as long as you are a true christian you will be saved, good video and God bless❤✝️☦️✝️❤
Im trans, and i usually have nothing to do with religion, but i decided to watch this. im not sure what to think the information you blessed me with, but hey, thank you for respecting me, for i respect you too
The way my youth pastor interpreted this is that there are open hand issues and closed hand issues, the difference being closed hand issues are things that can’t be disputed, like Jesus being our savior. However, there are open hand issues that are free to be discussed between Christians without breaking the unity of the church. This topic I think of as an open hand issue that shouldn’t interrupt fellowship! Idk that might’ve been helpful 🤷
This video is very nuanced. and i pray for both of you; for your journey back to god, the creator that we all left, that we have sinned against in adam and eve. ✝️ We are all sinners. But god has a plan, that everyone can be apart of.
I didnt believe it waa possibe to be both gay and a christian until God led me to comeout to my parents. This wasn't the pull I often recieve when God leads me to do somethings, but clear spoken words. It was among the scariest things I've had to do, I even cried as I tried to tell my dad, but God never left me. That moment, along with many others, was burnned into my memory and has formed the bedrock of my relationship with God. It has not been easy and there are a number of stories I could share, but I'll leave it at this, "Walking with God is always worth it".😂
As someone who is bi i will never call myself an exgay or exqueer, but what i will say that before a christian goes into a relationship they should ask god and meditate on it. Also like you said there are so many arguments against it. God bless!
Wow, this is amazingly thorough and creative work, sis! Super inspirational! Your videos can definitely reach/educate the younger generations. I pray God continues to give you the strength/vision/provision to keep making videos like these and uses you to reach more and more youth for Jesus and the true gospel that saves.
I don't like the idea of a christians being friend of a sinner. Because if those two people die, then I don't want to see the horrified face of that christians seeing his friend being tortured in hell at the gore, horrific, disgustingly way possible. They both can be friends but just when he strictly managed to change his mindset on what he was doing is wrong. I don't understand why God doesn't want that Christians be much more stricter with those peoples. If God doesn't really want that his creation be sinful then, why?
@@davidleon7918 Because Adam and Eve sinned. So we now sin too... yea. I want everyone too repent too but we both know not everyone will be saved. But we can certainly try too warn people of their sin. If they don't listen, then.. we tried once and that's what counts at the end of the day. If Jesus sees you try, that's all that matters. But.. I had one friend who was transgender turn too Christ. So I will say this. Their always is hope and redemption for people.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? We're supposed to be friendly to unbelievers but we're actually not supposed to be best friends with them hanging out to the point they are able to influence you negatively.
@@dsprocks Well yea. They won't influence me into it. I never been in-tune with the world anyways. Jesus hung out with sinners, but didn't sin with them.
I believe most of the bible especially the New Testament, however, Genesis feels too unreal to put too much faith in but i believe the main point of the story of Adam and Eve is that the reason why we sin is because of the devil's temptations. He tells us that "God doesn't want you to do this because he wants to keep you below him" So it pushes us to disobey God directly. But i think the reason that God kept it this way is to give the Earth an actual point or use. Whats the point of being here if we're already perfect and without sin. We would have unlocked all the achievements and secret achievements of life by now. It wouldn't make sense as we would all inevitably end up in heaven. So we probably have sin so God can test our resilience and tolerance against temptation and more importantly, to see how faithful we really are in following His will.
In my opinion, I'm on the fence about sin and homosexuality. I feel like it should abide by the rules that straight couples need to follow. If gay couples follow the rules expressed in the bible then I feel like it's legitimate. An lgbt person shouldn't have to damage their mental wellbeing by denying a romantic and consentual relationship just to follow Jesus. the bible was translated and created by mankind. Mankind is selfish and will lie to further their own political agenda and will mistranslate or lie about the bible in order to do so. The Bible was written thousands of years ago so we'll never truly be able to get a clear answer. There's a lot of nuance to this and it's not as simple as "yes it's sinful" or "no it's not a sin" . as long you're kind and respectful to others and not hateful towards lgbt people then I don't really care if someone thinks it's a sin or not. Just be nice and don't play as judge, jury and executioner.
i would just like to share my opinion if that’s ok. I don’t think a romantic relationship should be prioritized before Jesus. When you say “an lgbt person shouldn’t have to damage their mental well-being by denying a romantic and consensual relationship *just* to follow Jesus” i feel like it’s sort of downplaying Jesus’ importance in our lives. I mean, if you choose to think differently i won’t judge you but i don’t agree. Christianity views Jesus as more important as anything else. But that being said!!! i don’t think God ever wants to harm you, but he does give you challenges. It never says in the Bible that it’s easy being a Christian or that it means you can do whatever you want. Being a Christian you sort of have to be full in or full out. you can’t choose a few ideas from the Bible to agree with and just disagree with ones you don’t like. Also i don’t want to imply that i thought you were doing that i’m just sharing some things to support my opinion. Also, when we accept our forgiveness for our from Jesus dying on the cross we repent from them, meaning we turn away. We can’t be perfect and that’s the whole reason Jesus had to die for us anyway but we should have a desire to do what God wants us to do if we are forgiven and children of God. So with that conclusion, i would say i think that people just have to choose because if you don’t feel you need to give up some sinful things in order to be able to follow Jesus i don’t think He really matters to you all that much also i know it’s not always as easy as just being like oh ok i’m gonna give up these sinful ways immediately. it takes a lot to get to bad place, it also takes a lot to get out of it. it applies to all sin and i’m not saying i’m not guilty of sin or that im a professional at this. so like if you lie a lot for example it would be hard to just immediately break the habit, but it’s something you work on. there’d be a lot to say to cover all my thoughts on this but i hope it made sense and i can explain anything i said if it doesn’t. have a blessed day
In my opinion I feel like when the bible was translated it originally said man shall not sleep with boy in my opinion I feel like that is commonly misunderstood the bible is a really big mystery
Not exactly, and it's no mystery. The Hebrew OT said "do not lie with a male a woman's bed, it's against our religion". The NT said "male bedders will not inherit the kingdom of God". Their concern was that because women were assumed inferior to men, putting a male in a woman's role in bed denigrated him. Obviously we don't think that anymore, so what the Bible said is well and truly obsolete. In NT times, it was very common for men (including straight men, even married to women) to deliberately denigrate enslaved boys as an act of domination. This is probably the reason for the strong language. Unfortunately, because what's in the Bible was confused with homoxesuality, the church blew it out of all proportion and started insisting that being something over which people have no control and that hurts no one is a sin.
@coolguy-y9z I find errors on all sides (there's more than two). I provide information and correct misconceptions as best I can. Your question doesn't make sense and has no answer. "Being gay" like "being straight" is an innate enduring pattern of attraction including a capacity to intimately love another human being. They're neither right nor wrong. People are how they are and neither you nor they have any say in it. Rather, "what counts is faith working in love" Gal 5. Love is both necessary and sufficient to obey God Rom 14. What's sin is failure to do so: infidelity, greed, arrogance, abbuse, exploitation. Does that help you?
Former Christian here. I had this exact same stance on homosexuality myself and didn't understand why it was problematic for a long time. For one thing, conversion therapy doesn't work. There's mountains of evidence against this. What that means is that a gay person called to follow Christ never develops heterosexual attractions, so their only option if they aren't bisexual is to remain celebate for life. There's not really a satisfactory answer in the Bible except "God wills it" and "God's ways are higher than our ways" except no one can go to God and ask why. I strongly believe that it was man's teachings and justified this bigotry by saying that God told them so so that they can never be questioned.
I'm a Roman Catholic woman, and even though I prefer to be romantically involved with men, I think that God loves all His children equally and unconditionally from the inside out. The Fascist parties in Europe durung the 30s and 40s all said otherwise and used that to persecute and kill people; their very own philosophies ended up being their downfalls. The Falanga, the Camizia Nere, the Ustashe and the Nazis all plotted to assassinate Pope Pius XII for saying that God loves His children equally, regardless of what's on the outside; this doesn't just apply to what's around the person's neck. I don't care who you're romantically involved with, it's not a justified reason to kill and/or persecute people. I have friends that are gay, but even though I choose to do things different, they're still my friends. God loves all His children equally and unconditionally.
Just wanted to say thank you so much and God bless you, blue🫧✨I randomly watched your recent vid and enjoy how you speak the truth but in wisdom and love🫡rather than to condemn and win an argument. And in the end in this walk with God, it is not a call to be heterosexual, but to be holy. Walk with Him and Holy Spirit will do the rest.
This is so beautifully explained Blue! Thank you sooo much! 💕 This is something I've always believed but never completely understood how to discuss it with others so this is so helpful :'3 I hope that people can see God's love through this and know that no matter what sins we act on, there's always a way back to God in this life 💖
"Christianity" is not one tradition. Around half think both being gay and loving gay relationships are fine. Most of the rest think there's nothing wrong with being gay but they should stay single. Your view is very much in the minority. Seems it's making a resurgence now that the new generation has forgotten the past tragedy.
@@MusicalRaichu No, Christnity is Person of Lord Jesus Christ himselfe and obidience to Him. There is only one Christanity - all other are human ideologies, there is no such thing like "opinion" on that matter, what i says is historic unchenagable position of our Apostoles. Number have no meaning, truth is truth, and Lord Jesus Christ said when He will come, truth is in minority, he said that sin will be in aboudance. So no, there is not even one Christanit that think that pratice of sinful behavior is "okay" - all those never will be christanities as they deny Christ and His Aposotles, they are modern day inventions of humans who hate Christ. Past tragedy is tolerance of evil.
@@BeniaminZaboj So YOUR particular version of Christianity is the only true one ... riiight The past tragedy is indeed tolerance of evil. Read the studies that document the anguish, illness and death that children have been subjected to in God's name. I don't care what version of Christianity you follow, you must never under any circumstances even hint that there is anything wrong with being gay. Otherwise you are failing to love your neighbour and thus denying your Lord.
@@MusicalRaichu Yes, I,m part of only Christanity that exist. Egxacly. No go cry about it. My Lord and my Apostoles told about gay-ism all, all modern heresis are just deny of it. All Christians since always till end of the world will be faithfull to what Apostoles gave us on The matter in Scriptures. My God when He will came, He will ecplain you in detail how anal is not biological triectory and porpouse of God,s biological reproductive system very fast.
Here’s some general advice, and this applies for really any sin. Repenting for your sins isn’t as simple as just saying or thinking “I’m sorry for doing those bad things” and then moving on. Repenting is fully understanding what you did wrong, having some sort of guilt for it, and then thinking “What can I do to change this?” Say for example that I am struggling with lust and s3xual desires. If I just say “I’m sorry for searching up these things.” and then go back to falling to my sins because “God forgives all”, I don’t actually have the desire to be forgiven, and therefore I won’t be forgiven. But if I do feel guilty for my sin and I do pray and try to make a change, then I am truly repenting. Yes no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but we still have to understand what we did wrong and try our best to change. Lemme know your thoughts if you have any different perspectives.
I have same sex attractions but I keep my faith and resist commiting the sin. My life has become easier since I decided to make the word of God my mirror.
Helllo!!! Is being aromantic, and/or asexual a sin too? And is shipping two same gendered characters a sin? (< probably most likely a yes, but im still curious.)
Hi there! I know your comment wasn’t really meant for me, but I was hoping I could help answer your questions! ❤ Ok, first up: is it sinful to be aromantic/asexual? I would say, looking at the Bible, obviously it never expressly discusses asexuality. However, Jesus tells us that lust is a sin, and we know that sex OUTSIDE of marriage is a sin; and, Paul tells all believers that it’s not a sin to not get married. (In fact, he said it was better not to get married.) That being said, sexual sin stems from lust, and from sex outside of God’s perfect design. And since asexuality has nothing to do with lusting or committing sexual sin, I think it’s safe to say neither being aromantic or asexual. Sorry that first one had such a complicated answer! If you still have questions and/or my answer didn’t make sense, I would highly recommend gotquestions.org’s article on this topic! Now onto question two! Basically, is it a sin to ship same sex characters in it’s each other? Again, the Bible doesn’t discuss this topic exactly, however, we are told in 1 Timothy 6:11 to flee from sin, and if homosexuality itself is a sin, we shouldn’t be supporting the sin in any way shape or form, but rather fleeing from it ourselves, and being loving and kind to people who struggle with that sin. All blessings to you, and I hope that this answered your questions, I’m sorry it was so long! Feel free to ask if you have anymore questions! 😊
Vent// Like always with this topic as a gay Christian, I’m sobbing like a whale. I’m ace (not naturally I think, but more due to internal repression and association with sin and disgust and maybe trauma) and a lesbian, meaning I don’t want sex but I’ve never found men pretty like I find woman. I also dislike the marriage metaphor as I prefer the children and Father one, mixing the two makes me thing of incest, and I think submission of the wife is sexist because everyone I’ve met who goes by this are. But this isn’t the topic. I’ve reconverted abec years of closing my heart firmly three years and a half ago, and I’ve hone to church for two years now. I adore God and the message He carries, I have a strong faith despite some doubts about my place in Christianity. Why? Because I’ve internalised some Christian’s homophobia and used the word against me for the longest time, that and my logical beliefs don’t always aline with the Bible’s. I’m not a creationist, for me Adam and Eve and only a metaphor and don’t ligne up with actual evolution and science, so this specific explanation in the Bible doesn’t make sense. Plus, many animals, even if not made in God’s image, can live homosexuality, although I think it’s not nearly as complicated as human’s homosexuality because they aren’t self-aware. I think most people naturally are attracted to both, so to me it just doesn’t make sense. I don’t understand God’s project… I’m considering giving up my dream of raising children with a romantic partner, being married and all. I’ll just raise them with platonic co-parenting I suppose, but if I want to avoid sin I’ll have to stay single all my life, because I don’t like men. The rational part of me and all non-believers I know would or are terribly concerned on my faith’s negative affect on me (don’t get me wrong, it’s rare and God made my life great) and that I’m getting brainwashed to hate myself and abandon all reason, to think I chose to be gay when I didn’t. I’ve already panicked at the idea of getting in rolled into a cult, even if I know that’s not really the case I’ve decided to maybe not follow things in the Bible until I learned to make sense of them. I feel so conflicted, the book I read everyday doesn’t make sense half of the time and even contradicts itself. I don’t know man
This is what I've also thought about homosexuality! Like the requirements to go to heaven is simply to believe in god and Jesus, that he died for us and to repent for our sins, all of which even gays can do so I've always been like irritated when some people just go up to them and condemn them to hell God said he forgives us for whatever sin we have done, ofc also including homosexuality, i think what they need to do is just to try not to participate in homosexual acts and repent if they do, like we all do to literally any sin
As a proud Christian who is getting ready to be conferred, I was wondering what your thoughts on the aroace community, it’s not same sex attraction or anything like that it’s feeling no attraction:]
As a Catholic I think it's a massive problem with the Christian community with the lack of love they have for others. "If you do not love, you do not know God, for God is love." Jesus did not rebuke the prostitute for being unclean, He comforted her. Christians need to understand that while the LGBT movement is a perversion of God's design, most of the people who buy into it are already morally lost - we do not lead the blind by hitting them, we lead them by the hand. I have a friend who is bi, and has struggled with substance abuse, and I can say that by supporting him he has had far more stability and openness to the truth than if I were to condemn and alienate him. If you are a Christian and you EVER condemn someone for ANY sin that they commit, you are only condemning yourself when God uses your own standards against you. This is scripturally obvious. You're not better than anyone else. The most important commandments that which the rest hang upon; Love God, Love others.
"Born this way? Yes. But God calls us to be born again." That line goes so hard ngl. Honestly, as a Christian, I really have been struggling with this concept of "why would God make people like this if it's a sin?" But this video and that single line has helped me understand that question a bit better. Not to say I don't still have doubts, because I do, but at least God is showing me some answers to help me.
The false premise is that God makes people like this. All God's creatures have agency. Humans, angels, and demons. Their/our actions all make the world like it is. It isn't just God up there playing the Sims and manipulating everything that happens. Some things are out of joint because of sin. There is good news in this. What we do matters. Just as our faithlessness can make the world worse, our faithfulness can make it better. That is our job here. God will make all things right in the end. But we can be a part of that. If we make some little thing right, then it's God making it right through what we are doing. When we do good, we are literally doing God's work. And doing what God does makes us more like him.
@@huntz0r Dude thank you SO much for writing this comment. I literally feel like crying. I've been so depressed lately and borderline suicidal that just everything feels upside down and I'm always getting fought for what I believe. Instead you are the rare person actually trying to help me understand God better, which is the very thing I'm really struggling with right now. I thought that if it's true that same-sex attraction is a biological thing, then it was God's fault which made me doubt in God for making people like that. But if I'm understanding you correctly, what you're saying is that sin isn't just something that is a thing on its own, but is something that affected creation in general which explains sinful tendencies. When Adam and Eve sinned, ALL of creation was cursed because of it. And that means the human biology as well (thus cancer, disease, etc.). I know I can't confirm or deny whether or not same-sex attraction is a biological thing because I'm not a biologist, but I've seen enough of people's accounts of it (and from my own experience) that it's not really something that we can just simply stop feeling. But the argument that it's not wrong to be gay because it's a natural thing that happens in biology still doesn't excuse practicing homosexuality from being sin because it's a sinful tendency that happened because of the curse because of Adam and Eve's sin. Another example is death. Everyone thinks death is natural, because in our sinful world, it is. But originally before the fall, death was not a natural thing. Death is the direct result of sin, so we have to live with it for now until Christ comes again. I know that's a big paragraph lol, sorry. I'm just really glad to be understanding things better, and it's helping me understand God better, so thank you!! Also thank you for telling me the "good news" part too. Too many Christians stop at the first part, and that's why so many people think Christians are just homophobic. It's because people don't understand that we Christians are just trying to save them from themselves.
It makes no sense to "agree" or "disagree" or to encourage" or "discourage". Homoxesuality is an innate enduring pattern of attraction that has been extensively researched and even scientifically measured with (somewhat invasive) biometric tests. It exists regardless whether anyone believes it exists or not.
@@MusicalRaichu i never said i don’t believe in it. but i don’t agree with the sexual act. and by encourage it, i mean i don’t celebrate it or platform it.
@@elani9624 You literally said you don't agree with homoxesuality. Please understand that being gay is not a kind of act. It's a biological trait over which people have no control, just like being straight. To reduce one of the deepest aspects of a person's life to an act is dehumanizing. To say you don't encourage it means that you're telling gay people not only that they mustn't have secs. You're telling them they don't have the right to be in an intimate relationship with another human being. You're telling them that they can never have a "suitable helper", as the Bible put it, to support them and love them.

SAME HERE FRIEND
Your youth is wise, I am so pleased to hear your respect for our lord. God Bless you.
I don’t know if anybody will read this comment but God saved me from homosexuality , and I didn’t commit any sexual acts with this person. I genuinely believed I “loved” this person and I was going to marry them at one point . But to be honest , I don’t think I ever really did love this person and I’m sorry if they read this, I did love them as a best friend. At the time I felt very alone and scared, my father had just left and I was only 11. I felt unworthy , and as I’ve reflected over the years that love that I felt was something that I just wanted because my father wasn’t with me. I wanted to fill the hole in my heart with something. And I stayed with that person for 6 years, and I struggled with anorexia aswell. I came to God 2 years ago, and he saved me. Guys, I was literally so attached to this person I thought I couldn’t live without them. God saved my life, I would be dead by now if it wasn’t for him. I was so suicidal, and depressed , life felt like it was never going to get better :/ it was hard for me to to leave, but God wanted me and he wanted my whole heart . He didn’t want half of it, he wanted all of it. And to be honest I wanted someone to want me badly and God wanted me. So I left the relationship. It was hard and were still good friends but it is a bit awkward sometimes. God saves and he changed my life. It feels almost like a miracle, I remember praying to God to help me leave this person and he did ❤ my heart has no desire for them anymore. It now desires to be perfect for God. I desire to feel Gods love :) He is my father figure. And he will never abandon me or you. Thank you God for your mercy and kindness for taking me out of Sheol. And thank you for the internet for helping me share this comment. Amen. Amen. amen bless all of you.
You're unfortunately mentally ill. You gave up who you were because of an invisible man in the sky, I feel so sorry for you. They got you :(, save yourself from religion seriously religion is evil, READ the Bible please. You'll see how evil it is.

Short answer: It is a sin, if you practise it.
So it stops being a sin when you're proficient? That's silly. You can't get good at it unless you practise it first.
One's orientation is a trait they have, not something they "practise". You can't classify it as right or wrong, it just is what it is. When God himself said it's not good to be alone, who are you to insist that someone should be single their whole life just because they're different to you?
@@MusicalRaichu God does prohibit homosexual sex. If you are attracted to the same gender it is ok, but if you are having intercourse with the same sex, it is a sin. As well as sex without marriage. God approved only one type of sexual relationship: man + woman = marriage.

Wahh, hello. I'm not here to judge but I just wanted to ask if you converted religions from Christianity since your current profile pic is of (I think?) a Buddha statue? Not really expecting a response (it's been like 3 whole years since this comment sorry!! I'm curious!!) but if you've left the faith it's sad to see you go. :( Hope that's not the case but if it is, I can't help but pray for you because of 2 Peter 2:20-22 (the whole of 2 Peter 2, really) - "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.'" If it isn't the case and you're still Christian, I feel like I should offer a gentle suggestion as a fellow Christian to perhaps avoid having Buddha as a profile pic, but if you're Buddhist now, my bad!!! Super sorry if this is too nosy; I know the verse I quoted can feel harsh but I can't bypass the seriousness of it in good conscience. :(
Well said, young lady. Being gay isn't something we have any control over but we can control how we choose to react to it and deal with it.
Idk I'd it's just me, but I always thought of it as Satan trying to hurt God indirectly. Because Satan doesn't have any power over God but has the ability to tempt people away from the Gospel. I think that same philosophy goes into abortion as well because if we don't reproduce, God won't have followers, and even God said he was a jealous God. Please share your thoughts on this philosophy that's becoming more widespread.

I used to be bi. The bitter truth is I was only bi to mess around with guys. I was never bi to date or marry. I was in it for fun. And it was not, it was embarrassing and awkward and strange for me and I fell into a rabbit hole of depression and loneliness. No matter how many times the number went up, i was not satisfied. The hunger only grew bigger. When Christ opened my eyes I made the choice to be straight again, that was a year and 6 days ago. I still have temptations, I still have a problem every now and then. But what do we do? We pick up our cross and crucify our flesh, daily. You’re only condemned if you practice a lifestyle of sin. I left that behind! And even if condemned… I still love you.
That's literally just sex addiction, straight people also experience that. You being bisexual has quite literally nothing to do with that. Nevertheless, I'm glad you're doing better now, more or less.
@@dariusurbanovic6797 sexual is in the word bisexual. To be gay is, by definition, a sexual preference. But it was also an addiction. Experimentation became a problem. In Romans chapter 1:26-27 it says, “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." This is happening to a lot of people. Burning in our lust for one another and leaving behind what is good and natural so that we can simply satisfy a guilty pleasure. It starts with lust and ends in confusion. I had to change.
@@thefruitsoffaith7 There are words like Biromantic and Homoromantic, where people are purely attracted to their partner romantically, same-sex attraction isn't necessary sexual y'know.
From what you described you're probably Bisexual and heteroromantic, where you're attracted to both genders sexually, but only romantically to women. But in the end, it's your sexuality and your business if you want to go by any labels.
And you really shouldn't expect people to be exactly like you, sexuality is pretty complicated and all people experience it differently. Some bisexual people aren't romantically interested in the opposite sex at all and that's fine, because it's literally just their business.
I understand that same-sex attraction was draining and uncomfortable for you and that's completely fine, you shouldn't be expected to do anything you don't want to and neither should anyone else.

@@thefruitsoffaith7 Not when it comes to biology, especially the biology of humans. You don't need to be a biologist to understand that us being social creatures is what makes us so successful as a species. So it's a given that our sexuality would be a complicated subject as it does impact our behavior with others, saying things like "heterosexuality good and homosexuality bad" is a disservice to humans as a whole.

hey there! Gay Christian here. Ill tell you my experience about being a Christian with the challenges i went through. I was pretty day at first because ever since i was 10 years old, i always wondered why I was made like this and thought it was unfair that i just so happen to be this way and I cant love the people i truly loved. But then I had friends who supported me and one of my very religious friends told me that me being homosexual was no different to any other person in this world because everyone is a sinner and sins everyday so there is nothing stopping me from becoming a Christian even though i was gay. Im still trying to figure out why I was because in the video, it doesn't really tackle that. while sure, my homosexuality is just like every other sin, i still didn't choose it and that is different to other sins like theft, lying or greed as that is something you can act upon while you cant change or do anything with your sexuality. I don't know all the answers but atleast I was able to find my place in the Christian community
Hi, I’m a Roman Catholic and I’ll explain some things, first of all, if you know anything about the God of the Bible, you’d know that he likes order rather than chaos, do you put a fire on the couch or in the fireplace? It’s the same for sex and marriage, marriage is reserved for one man and one woman, anything outside of that will burn your house down, that’s why most are against it including me
@@Karbonniehomosexuality is like any other sin. But if you die not trying to change I don't know what to tell you.
@@KarbonnieI’d disagree with you saying that unlike greed, theft, and lying, you can’t act on homosexuality. I don’t see how a person choosing not to steal is any different from you not acting/ turning your mind away from ssa.
With the examples you’ve given the difference might be that theft and deceit are more momentary decisions, and ssa is constant in comparison. But it’s not the only sin like that. Personally I struggle with sloth/ drunkenness. In the flesh I don’t ever want to do anything or be mentally present. This is a result of internal and external factors but at this point it is what it is. The point is that, similarly to your ssa, this is an inclination that I have present with me in every decision, activity, moment of my life etc. I do not choose this feeling. I just always have it. And it is distinctly different from what I actually want. So, even if it’s not something dominating and obvious we are all constantly fighting sinful inclinations of some kind. We do have a sinful nature after all.

God be with you and bless you. And don't feel bad about the tension or anxiety for sexual sin it's the same for all of us a it's root is playing off if our flesh. It will get easier just listen to God and pray for help with the flesh.
It’s 2 o clock in the morning and I just wanna say this actually helped way more than I expected. Thank you so much for just… making this so easy for sleep deprived me to understand.
I'm glad you found it helpful
@@fiji.christianblueWell nobody is inherently gay or straight. Nobody is born that way. Nobody is specifically straight. Our bodies are capable of attraction to both. It is all a mindset.
Even the straightest of men and gayest of women aren’t set to that. They aren’t made that way.
It’s a way of thought.
Even the gayest of lesbians can be attracted to or fall in love with a man.
Why?
Because sexuality isn’t something set in stone.
Attraction isn’t set in stone.
It’s based on the mind.
But yes, homosexuality throughout multiple points has been declared a sin.
When we say sin is forgivable it’s not some free pass. Turn the other cheek isn’t just to anyone. It’s to those who genuinely seek repentance.
You are all oblivious. It doesn’t work like a “you just have to try” pass.
You have to be reborn of god.
John 14:23
1 John 3
Meaning you turn from nearly all sin. Being nearly sinless.
However, you must be extremely repentance toward the sin you do commit.
If I slap you in the face, you are gonna say “hey! What’s you do that for?”
If I say, “but it wasn’t really that hard” degrading what I did.
Or “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.” Those are simply words.
Actions go farther.
Faith without works is dead.
Imagine I slap you again later on.
You say,”Why did you hit me again?”
I say, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it anymore!”
This time trying to use stronger words to show more care.
This process continues until about the 4th time.
You put your arm near me, and I get tense.
You hit me again.
At this point, your words have little to no value for me to take.
The 5th time, you move your arm and I flinch.
The last few times, there is only me saying what Jesus says.
1 John 3:6-9
Those who truly follow christ and are born again, will not know much sin.
This is epic I love you for this! I agree, I’ve had gender dysphoria since I was young and same sex attraction but God has done such great things with my struggles like not only making me stronger but making more creative and giving me the ability to ask for much bigger things in faith through that faith struggle and I’m happy to do what God says, I struggle sometimes but for the most part it’s worth it, not always immediately rewarding but God uses everything for the good of those who love him yes
Totally! May God bless you, In Jesus name, amen. ♡
omg thank you so much for making this video. I'm a 13 year old boy and I've struggled ever since I was about 12. Still having problems with it but this video helps. I honestly wish I had a friend like you so bad.
personally i interpret it as the same way sex before marriage was a sin, homosexuality was a sin because gay marriage wasnt even a concept. the same way we see in timothy, "women shall not teach over men" was in the context that AT THE TIME women were uneducated. Now plenty of women teach over men, because we are afforded the education to do so. I believe that the same way homosexuality is now legal in some countries, u can partake free of sin as u would in a hetero relationship
12:50 I'm so glad that you brought that up I know that a lot of churches -even ones I have gone to- will take the verse of the next passage which is believers submit to one another out of context to say that wives don't have to submit to their husbands. I'm still a older child myself so I don't have to worry about any of this for quite a few years but all this to say my respect for you has skyrocketed and even though I haven't finished the video so far I agree with everything you say.
Thank you so much for uploading! God bless you!
Thanks a whole lot for this video, this was one of the biggest questions I had as a bisexual.
This is probably the best explanation of this topic that I've ever seen on the internet! I just bookmarked it to give to people, when I have discussions with them about homosexuality. I love how you kept going back to scripture and you also have so much love and kindness in how you presented it. And even having your LGBTQ friend on the video to help edit your script is just awesome! I am a Christian who has personally struggled with SSA and has identified as bisexual in the past. There is so much hope that the true gospel offers to people! I have experienced this joy and freedom found in Jesus! The narrow path of dying to our fleshly desires is hard and painful in the moment (Matthew 7:13-14). But the abundant life that Jesus offers everyone is SO MUCH better than the hopelessness of living in sin! This includes ALL sin, not just homosexuality. If you're reading this and you struggle with SSA, there is hope for you found in Jesus! Repent and experience the new life that He offers. Be blessed, dear friend
I appreciate the non hateful, fully loving open conversation you’ve invited here.
Good way to put it! I'm glad some younger people are standing up for Bible truths! I do think it is tragic how the church has generally treated homosexuals. We ought to love them and preach the gospel to them like anyone else. And if they are a Christian we ought to do what we can to support them fighting their sinful urges, not encouraging the sin or condemning them for having the urge, but helping them through prayer and scriptures.
Sodum and Gamora.
God made it pretty clear its a sin.
1 man 1 woman, joined together in marriage.
one man one woman is a pagan custom that was imposed on Christianity when the majority of members were Greeks and Romans. "Biblical marriage" is illegal for multiple reasons.
@@MusicalRaichu It wasnt imposed on christianity because the belief was inherited from judaism. HELLO GORDON. Therefore its not pagan. In addition to this you talk about how Christianity is very pagan yet you call yourself a Christian. Im not sure what bible your reading let it be king James, Orthodox Study bible, or the Catholic bible or anything in between but I can safely say that it is indeed a sin.
Again, Sodum and Gamora is a JEWISH Story.
God bless you, awaiting your response.
@@MusicalRaichu Cap, god made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Adam. Try again...
@@MusicalRaichu Pagans did not have only 1 partner. In fact they orgies: group sex. Israelite were the ones who practised monogamy, thier kings of themselves as somewhat better, so they have polygamious marriages, but God made it clear: One man and one woman...
@@MusicalRaichu Romans were pagans before anf they have had group sex: orgy, not monogamious marrriages... It seems like you completely made this pagan custom up.
I love everything about this video. As a Christian, I clicked this video with a healthy dose of scepticism, but I was pleasantly surprised at how clearly and competently you communicate the Christian stance on homosexuality while compromising on neither the love Jesus commands us to have, nor the discernment between moral right and wrong. You're truly an awesome creator and I'm proud to call you and other cool people like you my brothers and sisters in Christ. ❤️I know that (at least for me) it's very hard to walk the line between biblical accuracy and biblical love. This video really refreshed my perspective on what it means to truly love everybody and it was a great push of motivation to keep investing into my friendships to non-Christian friends wholeheartedly and without any ulterior motives or judgemental thoughts.
Would you believe it, they even invented a kink flag for me 🇩🇪 (I'm German)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you so much! This is very encouraging for me 🥰
@@fiji.christianblueI'm a Christian too😊
I’m glad you referenced the original greek for your argument, as a person who likes to look at things from all angles that really surprised me in a nice way (most christians who discuss this topic don’t look into the greek) ❤
Thank you for making this video ❤ It perfectly explains the Christian view on homosexuality, as well as how we should treat the LGBTQ+ community. It's always amazing to see Christians and homosexuals being friends.
Have a great day and God bless you!
There is not one "Christian view" on this topic, there are several.
majority view in the west: it's ok, it's not a sin
next major view: all non-reproductive secs is a sin even for married couples
less common view: this video
a minority view, rejected before but making a comeback: gay people need to stop being gay
I used to be gay and it took so long, but God gave the courage to talk to Him about it, because it was always a topic that i just ignored with my relationship with Him, but He eventually gave me the courage to admit it to Him and slowly but surely He helped me pick up and carry my cross and He did deliver me from it and it was then when i truly understood what Jesus had done for me and all of us sinners alike, but also i must confess, i did a thing this year earlier and backslid badddddd but we good, i felt like a dog iykwim my bible resding homies, but we good.
Guys. Gay people. Bruhs. Come to God as you are and dont be shy to ask Him these things, Hes gonna tell you the truth and its probably gonna be scary at first, BUT, BIG BUT, you will end up being at peace with God knowing that its better to identify with Jesus Christ than having your identity in the world. When people say Jesus loved you, they mean it! Take it from dude who had purple hair just to show off the fact that hes attracted to men and prided himself in it. Thank God tho, because He really humbled and comforted me, and showed me His great big love for me and every human being. Come to Him as you are, theres this saying, you dont wash yourself before you get into a bath, so come to God as you are and let His love shown through Jesus sacrifice for us all change you in due time, one step at a time ❤
Now. Jesus loves you! And Hes coming soon 🙌🏼❤❤❤❤
"Pick the cross" for a homosexual means find a loving same sex partner, marry and maybe raise kids in responsibility.
It surely doesnt mean to escape in a life alone in celibacy.
It doesn’t mean celibacy or enabling sin. It means being born again into a new person. One can be freed of same sex attractions.
@@theguybehindyou4762 Yeah , just completely wrong.
ZERO humans have ever be converted by any therapy or any Jesus from homo to hetero.
@@seekerhonestno “Pick up your cross” means denying your sinful Nature
For gays it would mean denying their homosexuality(there’s no Way around it)
For most others it would mean leaving their porn addiction(a very normal problem)
And for whoever are able to avoid it they have other sin
@@vikingdrengenspiders7875 Thanks for sharing your self righteous man-made rules for homosexuals ;)
(Dont even think that you follow Jesus in that way ;) )
Homosexuals will go on marrying their same sex partners and life a responsible life and raise kids.
It OF COURSE NOT will mean they life alone in a fake celibacy a useless life.
And please dont use vikings in your nick, vikings had gay and bi sex.
Didn't expect Dream and George to be on the thumb.
I'm surprised more people didn't recognize it.
I have another question,,,,,
Is being Asexual (no sexual attraction felt) and/ or Apothisexual (complete repulsion from sex) a sin? I find myself relating with these two labels and I've prayed about it but havent gotten a clear answer.
Amazing video btw! All ur videos are so sweet and awesome and really insightful :3
No, actually! Paul puts it nicely
1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 7-9
"Now regarding the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to abstain from sexual relations. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. . . . But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another. So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows-it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust."
Since as an asexual one doesn't burn with lust, it actually helps a lot with following the Lord ^-^
The short answer is no. You're good, if not like... Super good.
Why would happening to feel a certain way be a sin? You don't choose to feel a way. You only choose what to do with the feeling that comes to you.
In the Eastern tradition, feelings and thoughts that occur to us are called logismoi. They come to you from elsewhere. Even if the feeling or thought is to do something terrible, that is not a sin, and it will not lead you into sin if you disregard it.
oaw your videos are great... i especially love the cute animation you put. i also really liked how you also brought your friend to speak
Aww thank you 😊
Honestly I just asked God and he said that it was a corrupt version of love but I was very confused because of all the other videos on RUclips convincing me that being gay is/ isn't a sin, and honestly I believe he sent this video to me and I just want to say thank you and bless you blue
Be wary of lukewarm Christians who compromise on their faith to fit in, rather than spread the truth. Those are the wolves disguised as sheep that we are warned about
The algorithm did that, not God. Smh
The world will try to convince you that evil is good, and vice versa.

You had me on my toes there with the thumbnail, but after skipping to 3:15, watching for 15 seconds, and seeing the comments I am relieved to find that biblical truth is being taught. Anyways, it seems like your audience really enjoyed this video, so keep up the good work!
Omg, this is such a high tier level of explaining this sensitive subject, you my friend conveyed the truth without displaying any sort of judgment or anger towards our homosexual brothers and sisters, I’ve seen pastors struggle to convey why it is homosexuality is wrong without coming off as judging and angry, you are destined for greatness, that’s all I want to say, good job 👍 may god bless you!

God takes this offense very seriously and it was even punishable by death in the old testament. Again not trying to be rude or anything but just letting you know you shouldn't use God's name in vain.

@@lawrenceobi6954 I mean OMG could also stand for oh my gosh or oh my goodness
I would like to add that when God said not to say his name in vain he meant the tetragrammaton Yahweh or Jehovah. Calling God God is simply a place holder. However, if your conscience tells you the word "God" is also wrong I'll respect it.
Offend not thy brother, right? Although that chapter is about not eating food offered to idols and being a stumbling block to weak more recent Christians. Some Christians were arguing that if they believed in their mind that those gods were fake and non-existent than technically they could eat food offered to idols because they didn't acknowledge the gods the food was offered to. Paul argued that they still shouldn't eat food offered to idols to not tempt weaker Christians into actually worshipping those gods. @@lawrenceobi6954

thank you so much for making this video🥺 as a queer christian, it's really great to hear your perspective
I don't think a lot of people understand how, same-sex attraction isn't something that God made, but rather we as humans corrupted the feelings of love that God gave us. Just like God gave us medicine, yet we humans corrupted into drugs.
yeh, this is still a rough topic for me, but I know that lucifer (im not good at getting my point across sorry) twisted Gods word in order to make Eve sin. In Leviticus 18:22, it says “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” But people say that it’s ok if you don’t actually do it, and you can just be gay without doing anything??? Like a label???? This sounds mean im sorry, just really confused
I really like your comment btw, I am less confused about it now because your comment is really helpful!!!
@@NatsukiTheFairyBee Hey about "People say its okay if you dont actually do it and you just be gay without doing anything" now ill ask you is it a sin if you dont masturbate but conciously look at women as an object. its lusting aswell so if you're just gay but dont lie with another man its a sin too, why because its keeping you from getting a wife and having kids to give life to future generations and let God's will be done for their lives too
No if anything it proves that sexual relationships are more about love then about the need to procreate, how can you compare drugs to peoples who likes others of the same sex ? The truth is that all peoples are different from each others and some will live in ways you don't approve and you have to live with it, because they are still peoples, normal peoples and treating them like drug addicts is sick
Also if we're gonna bring nature to the table, since when doing sex only to procreate has been the norm in sentient beings ? Have you seen dolphins ? I undertand that god made us wise enough to follow his rules, but sex is still a natural part of our lives, loving sex shouldn't be a sin
@@MatteoPicone-yy7pk of love is sacrificial, self giving, merciful, enduring sympathetic and more other things. God’s meaning of love isn’t sexual. It IS wrong, to be attracted to the same gender, especially sexually. You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female: it is an abomination. - Leviticus 18:22
Got recommended this 2 years late but I gotta say. The start was not where I thought you were going in a good way. Thanks for being a voice that shows Christian’s call to love each other as brothers and sisters but not compromising the Word for the world. I hope the past few years have been good to you and I’m looking forward to hearing more of you!
God bless!
Again no sin is too great for God’s redemption, but the thing is, we gotta turn from it after we’re forgiven.
The worst part is..
You can't really win, honestly Im aroace, so that makes me apart of LGBT, however i stopped having pride in it cuz i was idolizing myself and being prideful about it. So i kinda took my flag down and pretty much removed it in my life.
However, be LGBT. I will not hate y'all. I love you all ❤️
Thats just my take
You can win through Christ, I use to be homosexual. At a young age I was exposed to it yet I knew something was wrong, there was conviction. Yet I wanted it, but God set me free. If God says it’s a sin then it is, and for a reason. Ofc he cares for us and loves us but not our sin
You are a fantastic teacher and do a great job getting to the point and keeping on topic! Great stuff! Keep it up!
I loved your addition of your friend, this really made this video work much better.
I mostly agree, I'll make a few nitpicks:
-Lev 20 is civil law, not moral law, so no longer applies. Lev 18 does though, and unlike many I'd say *all* of Lev 18 still applies (apart from the "cut off from the people" bit at the end).
-I'm not sure if I agree with your exegesis of Ephesians 5.
-But in any case (for Christians at least) we don't need to speculate reasons for why various types of sexual immorality is wrong because the bible already tells us in 1 Cor 6: 12-20. There is the question remaining of why non-Christians (who don't have the holy spirit) are also sinning when committing sexual immorality, but clearly that's a secondary concern. The bible also tells us in 1 Cor 5: 12 that the sexual sin of non-Christians is not our concern.
My simple beliefs:
Having feelings of it? No. That's just temptation
Acting upon them? Yes. Just yes.
No difference whether you're attracted to men or to women.
Having feelings? A crush is a perfectly normal part of human life.
Acting on it? Are you hurting someone, taking advantage of someone, being unfaithful, being abusiv? That's what you need to ask.
@@MusicalRaichuit’s the context of wether of it’s a sin or not in the eyes of God, and in the Bible it states homosexuality is a sin. God describes man and women coming together as one and biologically it’s the same that a man and women shall be together.
@@joeythemuffin6748 The Bible states no such thing, that's an old wives' tale. How can a harmless biological trait that someone doesn't choose be a sin? Unless your Bible has been mistranslated to say that, which has happened since the 1970s.
The Bible clearly says that what is a sin is hurting people, failure to love. Everything boils down to that Mat 7.12, Mat 22.40, Rom 13.8-10, Micah 6.8. That makes religious oppression of gay relationships is a sin.
"God" doesn't describe anything. The Bible refers to marriage as it was practised at the time, a dominant male over one (or more in the OT) submissive females. But it says nothing one way or the other about two men or two women.
@@MusicalRaichu I'm curious, did you watch the video? Since you clearly don't seem to understand where it WAS specified that homosexuality was a sin. Even with the translation.(This isn't meant to be condesending, just kinda curios). And a sin is in fact not JUST something that is hurting someone. Jesus(who is God) says that even looking at a woman with lustful intent is adultery, which is a sin. (Matt. 5:28) That sin is not physically hurting people. Yet it is still a sin.
Another example of this would be a white lie. Despite it being used with good intentions, it is still a lie, and therefore a sin
I think that you have not watched the video, and are just blindly going around commenting nonsense, or you have hardened your heart as to not listen to anything that would call out your sinful nature. Please pray and ask God for guidance and for open ears, eyes, and an open heart. I love you because God loves you, and I'm praying for you...
@@Mikayla-mk6qv I did watch the video, but it was a while ago so I don't remember all her details. IIRC she claims that homoxesuality is not a sin. She thinks acting on the desire is. Trouble is, the video is incorrect.
Homoxesuality was discovered late 19th cent so there's no way it's in the Bible or in long-standing Christian tradition either.
The issue in the Bible was that placing a male in a woman's role in bed (or bluntly, to poke a guy tween the legs) denigrated him because he was placed in the role of a social inferior. A woman taking an active role with a man also shamed him. The issue in later Christian tradition is that all non-reproductive secs is a sin even between husband and wife. So you see in neither case was the issue homoxesuality.
The two ideas that specifically homoxesual desire is a sin, and that acting on that desire is inherently sinful developed only a few decades ago as a result of mistranslated Bibles coming out since the 70s. The justification that it was because God designed us for man and woman only developed a few years later. These false ideas, however, do incalculable harm to the point where children suffer anguish, shame, rejection, illness, even death. This video tries to apply a bandaid by claiming "God still loves you just don't act on it" without realizing how dehumanizing this can be.
About sinning in your heart ... it means that the harm begins with a wish to do it even before you've done it. Jesus taught that our attitude should be to want to do good and not to even entertain what might hurt others. Paul wrote that "love your neighbour" fulfils ALL God's commands. Did you look up the verses I gave you? These scriptures make loving gay relationships right and condeming them wrong.
Hey nice video. This is one of the more pricky issues in Christianity and its never fun when people have extreme reaction to Christians simply following what is in the Bible. Part of the issue seems to stem from self proclaimed christians who dont really understand the religion apart from "Love everyone", which while true doesnt really do it justice. Thought it was great how you managed to covey the Bibe in an informative way. God bless.
Just like its never fun when people have extreme reactions to people coming out as transgenders. My aunt condemned me to Hell despite the fact that I converted to Jesus at age 14.
I have a genuine question. I know this video is a little bit old but as a newer Christian I've been struggling finding anything about would we go to hell when we die if we still had homosexual desires or in a homosexual relationship when we die?
This isn't for me mainly though I do find myself having attractions to both genders but I have some queer friends that don't really believe in christ because they think that either they aren't good enough or feel shunned because a lot of Christians say that all homosexuals are going to hell 😔
Hey friend, welcome to the family of Jesus! I'm sorry some Christians have given you and your friends the impression that gay people can't have Jesus. Here's what I believe!
All sins are forgivable. Jesus came to save sinners! If we put our faith in Him, we will be saved. Whether our sin is homosexual, heterosexual, or non sexual, it's all sin, and Jesus is bigger than it.
When we become Christians we don't magicly at the snap of a finger no long desire sin. But even when we have the Holy Spirit we still sin and struggle with sin. It doesn't matter what sin you still struggle with, you will still be saved as long as your faith is in Jesus.
So to answer your question, yes people with same sex attraction can go to heaven. Even if they've acted on it. The only requirement for heaven is true faith in Jesus. True faith in Jesus does include pursuing righteousness and running from sin, but it does NOT include being perfect or doing everything right.
Here are some verses I think apply
2 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 6:14, Hebrews 4:16, Galatians 5:17, Romans 7:20-25
I recommend reading the book of Romans! It gives fantastic information on how salvation works.

As someone who has been struggling with homosexual tendencies his whole adult life as well as other sexually immoral sins, it's good to see other Christians show love and understanding to us brothers and sisters who struggle with such thoughts rather than just tell us repent or go to hell.
Hi, this comment is not meant to provoke anyone, or meant to disrespect any religion. Just asking questions.
Okay so homosexuality is a sin. And according to your explanation, gay people should repress their sinful urges, which you admit must be hard.
I want to clear up some things before we get started. Homosexuality is not all ‘sexual’ thoughts. Lots of people attribute homosexuality to just the ‘sex’. For example, when two men hold hands in the street, or a kid is taught that different types of families exist, a lot of people come out of the woodworks to equate it to pornography, and deem it ‘repulsive’ and ‘vulgar’. No. Homosexuality is not a ‘lifestyle’, it’s not ‘whomever you sleep with in the bedroom’. It’s who you are and who you love. It’s that feeling of the butterflies in your stomach when you have a crush, the warmth you feel when see your partner smiling, and the small moments you share. Now, saying homosexuality is just pure and tender and fluffy is diluting the discourse just as much as reducing homosexuality to sex is. Obviously, sex and homosexuality are not separate, in fact they are inextricably tied. But that is just as much true for heterosexual couples. Defining homosexual lust as particularly sinful rather than heterosexual lust (if it’s regulated and controlled after marriage), does raise some eyebrows from me, but that is not the point of my comment, or my question (though feel free to answer that if you’d like).
What I’m more interested is: what is the intended solution for gay people in Christianity?
The reason I took so long to distance homosexuality from the viewpoint that it is just ‘sex’, is to reason with Christians the difficulty of what you are asking. When you say ‘deny those sinful urges’, that sounds like you are barring queer people from having any fulfilling romantic relationships- to reject all the experiences that could equate to love. Is that true?
I’m not shaming anyone who thinks this, I just want to know your opinion. This is a difficult topic, but it’s one that has to be had because it would be nice if some Christians could better understand the difficulty of the queer experience.
(And for the people who say that accepting Christ can rid you of your homosexuality, or you’ve had a religious experience that turned you straight… that is nice for you, but it would be helpful to understand that some people have begged and tried so much harder than most people can imagine for that same experience, and it didn’t work. That does not mean they weren’t ‘Christian’ enough, it just means that your experience, isn’t THE experience.)
Hello! While I can't exactly answer all your questions, I do want to clarify that heterosexual lust is also a sin: "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." - Matthew 5:28. And we already know that adultery is a sin, according to the Ten Commandments, which come from God "Thou shall not commit adultery"- Exodus 20:14.
Also, I can't relate to feeling homosexual while also being a Christian, but I'll say that Christians struggling with this should continue to pray, and no one knows exactly when or how long they could wait to get their prayers answered but in that time its important to keep your faith in God that He can get you through it.
Love was never created to be anything other than between a woman and a man. This does mean that according to the bible homosexuality is a sin, just like stealing, lying, etc. When you accept Jesus, He doesn't expect you to suddenly get rid of these sins; it takes time. That's why he forgives us when we keep going back to a certain sin we are struggling in. "Denying the sinful urges" was never supposed to be easy, but God shows us grace and also helps us. On the other hand, this doesn't mean we continue to sin because he forgives us every time. If you truly love God, then you would want to follow his Word and will and try your best to not give in to those sins. I also want to point out that homosexuality, while being challenging to give up for most, is not a greater sin than any other (and that includes heterosexual lust).
So if you think about it, even if we try to get rid of all these sins (like homosexuality), we will still fall short because we are not perfect. There is so solution to sin, in general. Maybe, yes, we can overcome homosexuality, but we will always eventually fall again into some sort of sin because we are human. Jesus didn't completely remove sin, he forgave them. The good thing is that Christianity is about having faith in God, and once we are saved, no sin can take that away.
I hope this helps somewhat :)
"I prayed for years for God to make me straight. He didn't"
To quote John Bevere...
"If your experience was anything like mine, you were exposed to porn at a young age. I was twelve when a friend showed me a magazine, and it grabbed hold of me.
When I got saved, some struggles left immediately. I stopped living like a frat kid, going to parties and drinking excessively. I was instantly freed from cussing. But my struggle with porn proved far more stubborn, even extending into the first couple years of my marriage. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break free.
Then, I went on a four-day fast, and I was completely delivered.
Puzzled, I asked God why, for so long, it seemed I couldn’t break free no matter what I tried-but then one day, the bondage finally broke. What He showed me was that, before getting free, I was sorrowful over my sin, but it was the wrong kind of sorrow.
Paul tells us, “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death” (2 Corinthians 7:10 ESV).
When I couldn’t get free, I was afraid of the consequences that continuing to struggle could have in my life. I didn’t want it to ruin my ministry or my marriage.
Leading up to the time when I got free, everything changed, I began to be grieved that my sin was hurting the hearts of those I loved. This was godly sorrow-a sorrow motivated not by fear of personal loss, but by love for God and others. And it produced a deep repentance in my heart.
If you are struggling to get free, the first question you need to ask yourself is: “Who is the focus of my sorrow?” Do you have worldly sorrow, fearing the personal consequences of your sin? Or do you have godly sorrow, driven by genuine love?
The first kind of sorrow will keep you bound. The latter will lead you toward freedom.
Today, I want you to pray that God would produce godly sorrow in you. Ask to know Him more intimately, and that you would be genuinely grieved over any sin that would get in the way of that intimacy. When you get your motivation right, it makes all the difference. "
John Bevere also gives an example of one of his friends, to further illustrate his point.
"A number of years ago, I had a friend who was addicted to smoking cigarettes. Despite knowing how bad the habit was for him, he would still find himself smoking four packs a day. For years, he prayed and asked God to set him free from it, but nothing changed.
Then, one day, he saw a friend in his church get instantly delivered from the same problem.
My friend was so frustrated.
Angry, he went to God and exclaimed, “I’ve been crying out to You for two years! Why haven’t You delivered me?!”
God spoke to him and said, “Because you still like it.”
He was stunned, overcome by the revelation that God couldn’t deliver him from something he still liked and desired. That’s because God will never override our free will. He repented, asking God to help him to stop desiring the very thing that kept him in bondage, and was instantly delivered. This man went from smoking four packs of cigarettes a day to none-and he’s been free till this day.
Paul exhorts us, “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9 NKJV).
If you want to get free, you can’t be double-minded. You must passionately hate the sin you want to be free from. It was only when my heart began to break over how my struggle with porn was breaking God’s heart that I began walking in freedom. When I started to see my sin the way God sees it-for the destructive, damaging, detestable thing that it was-I hated it through and through.
Pray that God would help you see your sin for what it is. Ask Him to help you hate it. When there is no part of you that still loves your sin, you’ll find it so much easier to let go of."
Many actually pray while still liking the sin. They pray cause they think they have to not because they want to
I really love your videos. This is one especially I enjoyed. Please keep making these vids
I really enjoyed this educational video. Good going blue. Its so encouring to see the younger generation taking a stand for truth in a loving way
I like the way how you explain the teachings in the Bible! So simple and straight to the point in the most wholesome way possible! God bless you and everyone who has watched this video 🤗
I mostly like how you handled this topic since this is something a lot of people seek after. I also like you're style of teaching about the Bible which I haven't seen from any other Christian RUclipsr, but I just wanted to add that I'm not a fan of the term "gay Christian" since we find our identity in Christ and not in the way of the world. if we call ourselves a gay Christian it shows we serve two masters which God doesn't like.
I'm currently ex-lesbian as of today. I have had attraction to the same sex but i doubt now that those feelings were real. I am a Christian and am trying to tackle these feelings the best way i can.
Love your sweet video style ^^ Like the animation at 0:51
Aww thank you 🥰
I agree with you, homosexuality is a sin, but we shouldnt hate homosexual people cuz we area also sinners, we are all sinners and straight people arent better than gay people cuz we all sinned and i think as long as you are a true christian you will be saved, good video and God bless❤✝️☦️✝️❤
Im trans, and i usually have nothing to do with religion, but i decided to watch this. im not sure what to think the information you blessed me with, but hey, thank you for respecting me, for i respect you too
The way my youth pastor interpreted this is that there are open hand issues and closed hand issues, the difference being closed hand issues are things that can’t be disputed, like Jesus being our savior. However, there are open hand issues that are free to be discussed between Christians without breaking the unity of the church. This topic I think of as an open hand issue that shouldn’t interrupt fellowship!
Idk that might’ve been helpful 🤷
This video is very nuanced. and i pray for both of you; for your journey back to god, the creator that we all left, that we have sinned against in adam and eve.
✝️
We are all sinners.
But god has a plan, that everyone can be apart of.
I didnt believe it waa possibe to be both gay and a christian until God led me to comeout to my parents. This wasn't the pull I often recieve when God leads me to do somethings, but clear spoken words.
It was among the scariest things I've had to do, I even cried as I tried to tell my dad, but God never left me. That moment, along with many others, was burnned into my memory and has formed the bedrock of my relationship with God. It has not been easy and there are a number of stories I could share, but I'll leave it at this, "Walking with God is always worth it".😂
Good video. Note: its not about being yourself, its about being Christ like.
As someone who is bi i will never call myself an exgay or exqueer, but what i will say that before a christian goes into a relationship they should ask god and meditate on it. Also like you said there are so many arguments against it. God bless!
Wow, this is amazingly thorough and creative work, sis! Super inspirational! Your videos can definitely reach/educate the younger generations. I pray God continues to give you the strength/vision/provision to keep making videos like these and uses you to reach more and more youth for Jesus and the true gospel that saves.
As someone who used too be Biseuxal who is now a Christian. I can confirm we can be friends with sinners since I am as well.
I don't like the idea of a christians being friend of a sinner. Because if those two people die, then I don't want to see the horrified face of that christians seeing his friend being tortured in hell at the gore, horrific, disgustingly way possible. They both can be friends but just when he strictly managed to change his mindset on what he was doing is wrong. I don't understand why God doesn't want that Christians be much more stricter with those peoples. If God doesn't really want that his creation be sinful then, why?
@@davidleon7918 Because Adam and Eve sinned. So we now sin too... yea. I want everyone too repent too but we both know not everyone will be saved. But we can certainly try too warn people of their sin. If they don't listen, then.. we tried once and that's what counts at the end of the day. If Jesus sees you try, that's all that matters.
But.. I had one friend who was transgender turn too Christ. So I will say this. Their always is hope and redemption for people.
@@davidleon7918 We are not taught to go out and only be kind to the just, however, rather to all.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
We're supposed to be friendly to unbelievers but we're actually not supposed to be best friends with them hanging out to the point they are able to influence you negatively.
@@dsprocks Well yea. They won't influence me into it. I never been in-tune with the world anyways.
Jesus hung out with sinners, but didn't sin with them.
I believe most of the bible especially the New Testament, however, Genesis feels too unreal to put too much faith in but i believe the main point of the story of Adam and Eve is that the reason why we sin is because of the devil's temptations. He tells us that "God doesn't want you to do this because he wants to keep you below him" So it pushes us to disobey God directly. But i think the reason that God kept it this way is to give the Earth an actual point or use. Whats the point of being here if we're already perfect and without sin. We would have unlocked all the achievements and secret achievements of life by now. It wouldn't make sense as we would all inevitably end up in heaven. So we probably have sin so God can test our resilience and tolerance against temptation and more importantly, to see how faithful we really are in following His will.
In my opinion, I'm on the fence about sin and homosexuality. I feel like it should abide by the rules that straight couples need to follow. If gay couples follow the rules expressed in the bible then I feel like it's legitimate. An lgbt person shouldn't have to damage their mental wellbeing by denying a romantic and consentual relationship just to follow Jesus.
the bible was translated and created by mankind. Mankind is selfish and will lie to further their own political agenda and will mistranslate or lie about the bible in order to do so. The Bible was written thousands of years ago so we'll never truly be able to get a clear answer.
There's a lot of nuance to this and it's not as simple as "yes it's sinful" or "no it's not a sin" . as long you're kind and respectful to others and not hateful towards lgbt people then I don't really care if someone thinks it's a sin or not. Just be nice and don't play as judge, jury and executioner.
i would just like to share my opinion if that’s ok. I don’t think a romantic relationship should be prioritized before Jesus. When you say “an lgbt person shouldn’t have to damage their mental well-being by denying a romantic and consensual relationship *just* to follow Jesus” i feel like it’s sort of downplaying Jesus’ importance in our lives. I mean, if you choose to think differently i won’t judge you but i don’t agree. Christianity views Jesus as more important as anything else. But that being said!!! i don’t think God ever wants to harm you, but he does give you challenges. It never says in the Bible that it’s easy being a Christian or that it means you can do whatever you want. Being a Christian you sort of have to be full in or full out. you can’t choose a few ideas from the Bible to agree with and just disagree with ones you don’t like. Also i don’t want to imply that i thought you were doing that i’m just sharing some things to support my opinion. Also, when we accept our forgiveness for our from Jesus dying on the cross we repent from them, meaning we turn away. We can’t be perfect and that’s the whole reason Jesus had to die for us anyway but we should have a desire to do what God wants us to do if we are forgiven and children of God. So with that conclusion, i would say i think that people just have to choose because if you don’t feel you need to give up some sinful things in order to be able to follow Jesus i don’t think He really matters to you all that much
also i know it’s not always as easy as just being like oh ok i’m gonna give up these sinful ways immediately. it takes a lot to get to bad place, it also takes a lot to get out of it. it applies to all sin and i’m not saying i’m not guilty of sin or that im a professional at this. so like if you lie a lot for example it would be hard to just immediately break the habit, but it’s something you work on. there’d be a lot to say to cover all my thoughts on this but i hope it made sense and i can explain anything i said if it doesn’t. have a blessed day
thank you so much with this, i'm working on a wattaDpad, Christian action novel~ this is good source material

aww thank you so much :))
In my opinion I feel like when the bible was translated it originally said man shall not sleep with boy in my opinion I feel like that is commonly misunderstood the bible is a really big mystery
Not exactly, and it's no mystery.
The Hebrew OT said "do not lie with a male a woman's bed, it's against our religion". The NT said "male bedders will not inherit the kingdom of God". Their concern was that because women were assumed inferior to men, putting a male in a woman's role in bed denigrated him. Obviously we don't think that anymore, so what the Bible said is well and truly obsolete.
In NT times, it was very common for men (including straight men, even married to women) to deliberately denigrate enslaved boys as an act of domination. This is probably the reason for the strong language.
Unfortunately, because what's in the Bible was confused with homoxesuality, the church blew it out of all proportion and started insisting that being something over which people have no control and that hurts no one is a sin.
@coolguy-y9z I find errors on all sides (there's more than two). I provide information and correct misconceptions as best I can.
Your question doesn't make sense and has no answer. "Being gay" like "being straight" is an innate enduring pattern of attraction including a capacity to intimately love another human being. They're neither right nor wrong. People are how they are and neither you nor they have any say in it.
Rather, "what counts is faith working in love" Gal 5. Love is both necessary and sufficient to obey God Rom 14. What's sin is failure to do so: infidelity, greed, arrogance, abbuse, exploitation.
Does that help you?
Former Christian here. I had this exact same stance on homosexuality myself and didn't understand why it was problematic for a long time. For one thing, conversion therapy doesn't work. There's mountains of evidence against this. What that means is that a gay person called to follow Christ never develops heterosexual attractions, so their only option if they aren't bisexual is to remain celebate for life. There's not really a satisfactory answer in the Bible except "God wills it" and "God's ways are higher than our ways" except no one can go to God and ask why. I strongly believe that it was man's teachings and justified this bigotry by saying that God told them so so that they can never be questioned.
I'm a Roman Catholic woman, and even though I prefer to be romantically involved with men, I think that God loves all His children equally and unconditionally from the inside out. The Fascist parties in Europe durung the 30s and 40s all said otherwise and used that to persecute and kill people; their very own philosophies ended up being their downfalls. The Falanga, the Camizia Nere, the Ustashe and the Nazis all plotted to assassinate Pope Pius XII for saying that God loves His children equally, regardless of what's on the outside; this doesn't just apply to what's around the person's neck. I don't care who you're romantically involved with, it's not a justified reason to kill and/or persecute people. I have friends that are gay, but even though I choose to do things different, they're still my friends. God loves all His children equally and unconditionally.
I have had this burning question for AGES!!! Thank you so much ❤✝️🙏
And what she says is wrong. It's a harmless natural variation, part of the rich diversity of God's good creation.
Just wanted to say thank you so much and God bless you, blue🫧✨I randomly watched your recent vid and enjoy how you speak the truth but in wisdom and love🫡rather than to condemn and win an argument. And in the end in this walk with God, it is not a call to be heterosexual, but to be holy. Walk with Him and Holy Spirit will do the rest.
Keep up these videos Christian Blue, these are so good. You are teaching truth to people, AMEN!!!
This is so beautifully explained Blue! Thank you sooo much! 💕 This is something I've always believed but never completely understood how to discuss it with others so this is so helpful :'3 I hope that people can see God's love through this and know that no matter what sins we act on, there's always a way back to God in this life 💖
Exactly! I agree w you, fellow brethren!
bigot.
"Is being gay reeelly a sin in Christianity?"
Yes
"Christianity" is not one tradition.
Around half think both being gay and loving gay relationships are fine.
Most of the rest think there's nothing wrong with being gay but they should stay single.
Your view is very much in the minority. Seems it's making a resurgence now that the new generation has forgotten the past tragedy.
@@MusicalRaichu No, Christnity is Person of Lord Jesus Christ himselfe and obidience to Him. There is only one Christanity - all other are human ideologies, there is no such thing like "opinion" on that matter, what i says is historic unchenagable position of our Apostoles.
Number have no meaning, truth is truth, and Lord Jesus Christ said when He will come, truth is in minority, he said that sin will be in aboudance.
So no, there is not even one Christanit that think that pratice of sinful behavior is "okay" - all those never will be christanities as they deny Christ and His Aposotles, they are modern day inventions of humans who hate Christ.
Past tragedy is tolerance of evil.
@@BeniaminZaboj So YOUR particular version of Christianity is the only true one ... riiight
The past tragedy is indeed tolerance of evil. Read the studies that document the anguish, illness and death that children have been subjected to in God's name. I don't care what version of Christianity you follow, you must never under any circumstances even hint that there is anything wrong with being gay. Otherwise you are failing to love your neighbour and thus denying your Lord.
@@MusicalRaichu Yes, I,m part of only Christanity that exist. Egxacly. No go cry about it. My Lord and my Apostoles told about gay-ism all, all modern heresis are just deny of it. All Christians since always till end of the world will be faithfull to what Apostoles gave us on The matter in Scriptures. My God when He will came, He will ecplain you in detail how anal is not biological triectory and porpouse of God,s biological reproductive system very fast.
@@MusicalRaichu youtube hides responce, typical.
Here’s some general advice, and this applies for really any sin. Repenting for your sins isn’t as simple as just saying or thinking “I’m sorry for doing those bad things” and then moving on. Repenting is fully understanding what you did wrong, having some sort of guilt for it, and then thinking “What can I do to change this?”
Say for example that I am struggling with lust and s3xual desires. If I just say “I’m sorry for searching up these things.” and then go back to falling to my sins because “God forgives all”, I don’t actually have the desire to be forgiven, and therefore I won’t be forgiven. But if I do feel guilty for my sin and I do pray and try to make a change, then I am truly repenting. Yes no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but we still have to understand what we did wrong and try our best to change.
Lemme know your thoughts if you have any different perspectives.
I have same sex attractions but I keep my faith and resist commiting the sin.
My life has become easier since I decided to make the word of God my mirror.
Helllo!!! Is being aromantic, and/or asexual a sin too?
And is shipping two same gendered characters a sin? (< probably most likely a yes, but im still curious.)
Hi there! I know your comment wasn’t really meant for me, but I was hoping I could help answer your questions! ❤
Ok, first up: is it sinful to be aromantic/asexual? I would say, looking at the Bible, obviously it never expressly discusses asexuality. However, Jesus tells us that lust is a sin, and we know that sex OUTSIDE of marriage is a sin; and, Paul tells all believers that it’s not a sin to not get married. (In fact, he said it was better not to get married.) That being said, sexual sin stems from lust, and from sex outside of God’s perfect design. And since asexuality has nothing to do with lusting or committing sexual sin, I think it’s safe to say neither being aromantic or asexual. Sorry that first one had such a complicated answer! If you still have questions and/or my answer didn’t make sense, I would highly recommend gotquestions.org’s article on this topic!
Now onto question two! Basically, is it a sin to ship same sex characters in it’s each other?
Again, the Bible doesn’t discuss this topic exactly, however, we are told in 1 Timothy 6:11 to flee from sin, and if homosexuality itself is a sin, we shouldn’t be supporting the sin in any way shape or form, but rather fleeing from it ourselves, and being loving and kind to people who struggle with that sin.
All blessings to you, and I hope that this answered your questions, I’m sorry it was so long! Feel free to ask if you have anymore questions! 😊
@@SpencerReidsMother Thanks for answering! This was really helpful! :D
@@Swordandswords Of course, glad I could help! :)
I actually think you can be in the same s~x relationship if you're ace or whatever
For obvious reasons 💅
@@Mr.happy689 nah you already commited a sin with them in your heart
Vent//
Like always with this topic as a gay Christian, I’m sobbing like a whale.
I’m ace (not naturally I think, but more due to internal repression and association with sin and disgust and maybe trauma) and a lesbian, meaning I don’t want sex but I’ve never found men pretty like I find woman.
I also dislike the marriage metaphor as I prefer the children and Father one, mixing the two makes me thing of incest, and I think submission of the wife is sexist because everyone I’ve met who goes by this are.
But this isn’t the topic.
I’ve reconverted abec years of closing my heart firmly three years and a half ago, and I’ve hone to church for two years now. I adore God and the message He carries, I have a strong faith despite some doubts about my place in Christianity.
Why? Because I’ve internalised some Christian’s homophobia and used the word against me for the longest time, that and my logical beliefs don’t always aline with the Bible’s.
I’m not a creationist, for me Adam and Eve and only a metaphor and don’t ligne up with actual evolution and science, so this specific explanation in the Bible doesn’t make sense.
Plus, many animals, even if not made in God’s image, can live homosexuality, although I think it’s not nearly as complicated as human’s homosexuality because they aren’t self-aware.
I think most people naturally are attracted to both, so to me it just doesn’t make sense.
I don’t understand God’s project…
I’m considering giving up my dream of raising children with a romantic partner, being married and all. I’ll just raise them with platonic co-parenting I suppose, but if I want to avoid sin I’ll have to stay single all my life, because I don’t like men.
The rational part of me and all non-believers I know would or are terribly concerned on my faith’s negative affect on me (don’t get me wrong, it’s rare and God made my life great) and that I’m getting brainwashed to hate myself and abandon all reason, to think I chose to be gay when I didn’t.
I’ve already panicked at the idea of getting in rolled into a cult, even if I know that’s not really the case I’ve decided to maybe not follow things in the Bible until I learned to make sense of them.
I feel so conflicted, the book I read everyday doesn’t make sense half of the time and even contradicts itself.
I don’t know man
0:29 what are those flags i only know red white and blue 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷
This is what I've also thought about homosexuality! Like the requirements to go to heaven is simply to believe in god and Jesus, that he died for us and to repent for our sins, all of which even gays can do so I've always been like irritated when some people just go up to them and condemn them to hell
God said he forgives us for whatever sin we have done, ofc also including homosexuality, i think what they need to do is just to try not to participate in homosexual acts and repent if they do, like we all do to literally any sin
As a proud Christian who is getting ready to be conferred, I was wondering what your thoughts on the aroace community, it’s not same sex attraction or anything like that it’s feeling no attraction:]
As a Catholic I think it's a massive problem with the Christian community with the lack of love they have for others. "If you do not love, you do not know God, for God is love." Jesus did not rebuke the prostitute for being unclean, He comforted her. Christians need to understand that while the LGBT movement is a perversion of God's design, most of the people who buy into it are already morally lost - we do not lead the blind by hitting them, we lead them by the hand. I have a friend who is bi, and has struggled with substance abuse, and I can say that by supporting him he has had far more stability and openness to the truth than if I were to condemn and alienate him. If you are a Christian and you EVER condemn someone for ANY sin that they commit, you are only condemning yourself when God uses your own standards against you. This is scripturally obvious. You're not better than anyone else.
The most important commandments that which the rest hang upon; Love God, Love others.
"Born this way? Yes. But God calls us to be born again."
That line goes so hard ngl. Honestly, as a Christian, I really have been struggling with this concept of "why would God make people like this if it's a sin?" But this video and that single line has helped me understand that question a bit better. Not to say I don't still have doubts, because I do, but at least God is showing me some answers to help me.
The false premise is that God makes people like this. All God's creatures have agency. Humans, angels, and demons. Their/our actions all make the world like it is. It isn't just God up there playing the Sims and manipulating everything that happens. Some things are out of joint because of sin.
There is good news in this. What we do matters. Just as our faithlessness can make the world worse, our faithfulness can make it better. That is our job here. God will make all things right in the end. But we can be a part of that. If we make some little thing right, then it's God making it right through what we are doing. When we do good, we are literally doing God's work. And doing what God does makes us more like him.
@@huntz0r Dude thank you SO much for writing this comment. I literally feel like crying. I've been so depressed lately and borderline suicidal that just everything feels upside down and I'm always getting fought for what I believe. Instead you are the rare person actually trying to help me understand God better, which is the very thing I'm really struggling with right now.
I thought that if it's true that same-sex attraction is a biological thing, then it was God's fault which made me doubt in God for making people like that. But if I'm understanding you correctly, what you're saying is that sin isn't just something that is a thing on its own, but is something that affected creation in general which explains sinful tendencies. When Adam and Eve sinned, ALL of creation was cursed because of it. And that means the human biology as well (thus cancer, disease, etc.). I know I can't confirm or deny whether or not same-sex attraction is a biological thing because I'm not a biologist, but I've seen enough of people's accounts of it (and from my own experience) that it's not really something that we can just simply stop feeling. But the argument that it's not wrong to be gay because it's a natural thing that happens in biology still doesn't excuse practicing homosexuality from being sin because it's a sinful tendency that happened because of the curse because of Adam and Eve's sin. Another example is death. Everyone thinks death is natural, because in our sinful world, it is. But originally before the fall, death was not a natural thing. Death is the direct result of sin, so we have to live with it for now until Christ comes again.
I know that's a big paragraph lol, sorry. I'm just really glad to be understanding things better, and it's helping me understand God better, so thank you!! Also thank you for telling me the "good news" part too. Too many Christians stop at the first part, and that's why so many people think Christians are just homophobic. It's because people don't understand that we Christians are just trying to save them from themselves.
yo i need to thank you so much. i will be following this channel actively
You can be saved , if you repent. If you dont repent and willfully dont do it , then yes , you will be cast into the lake of fire
So, I know I'm late, but what about aroace people? Basically someone who doesn't feel romantic or sexual feelings? Then what are we?
I believe it is a misplaced or misunderstood vocation to celibacy, be it a monastic vocation, a priestly vocation, etc...
i’m not an ally because i don’t agree with homosexuality but i don’t disrespect or hate gay people, but i don’t encourage or push it
It makes no sense to "agree" or "disagree" or to encourage" or "discourage". Homoxesuality is an innate enduring pattern of attraction that has been extensively researched and even scientifically measured with (somewhat invasive) biometric tests. It exists regardless whether anyone believes it exists or not.
@@MusicalRaichu i never said i don’t believe in it. but i don’t agree with the sexual act. and by encourage it, i mean i don’t celebrate it or platform it.
@@elani9624 You literally said you don't agree with homoxesuality. Please understand that being gay is not a kind of act. It's a biological trait over which people have no control, just like being straight. To reduce one of the deepest aspects of a person's life to an act is dehumanizing.
To say you don't encourage it means that you're telling gay people not only that they mustn't have secs. You're telling them they don't have the right to be in an intimate relationship with another human being. You're telling them that they can never have a "suitable helper", as the Bible put it, to support them and love them.
