      If Becket is still exclusively same sex attracted, what was the transformation? By definition that still makes him gay. Do you think he will go for life not "relieving himself" using his hand? Thinking about other men doing this is no different from actually being with another man.

      @@LindeeLove ''Gay'' is a politically/ideologically-loaded term. He has same-sex attractions. What God calls us to if we are not married is total sexual abstinence.
      The transformation is from a life of sexual promiscuity, a life of engaging ina sin that is an abomination to a pure, perfect and holy God, to a life of loving God and following his lead and law.

    What was refreshing about Eric’s interview with this man was, when he said he went to a church service. He was asked if anyone needed prayer. He said he felt this persons love towards him during prayer which is the Holy Spirit speaking. So many Christians speak of sin in a hurtful way. We aren’t to affirm someone’s sin this is not love. We need to be more Christ like. We are all sinners in need of a savior, Jesus Christ.

      @D.Eldon_ 4 месяца назад +4

      _@russelldias5131_ -- *Actually Jesus is the Second Adam* as well as the Christ and God. There are numerous scriptures for this and the most salient are probably 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 and 1 Corinthians 15:45-47. Here they are from a literal modern English translation (KJ3): “For since death _is_ through man, also through a Man _is_ a resurrection of dead _ones;_ for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Cor 15:21-22) “So also it has been written, The first man, Adam, became a living soul, the last Adam a Spirit giving life. But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual. The first man was out of earth, an earthy _one._ The second Man _was_ the Lord out of Heaven.” (1 Cor 15:45-47) This is why Jesus, in addition to His other titles, also has the title *The Second Adam.*

    • @petervaichus6978
      @petervaichus6978 4 месяца назад

      ⁠@@D.Eldon_- in the verse you reference it clearly states that Jesus is a man as Adam was a man…making him the second Adam.
      -Jesus does not clearly state that he is “God in the flesh” in the inspired scriptures.
      -However, Jesus did clearly state and testify in the scriptures -that he is a man:
      “but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.” John 8:40
      Jesus the Messiah testifies that the Father alone is the true God;
      “Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” John 17:3
      Jesus says that he has a God and it’s the Father. There’s only one God. One needs to make sure they know the same God Jesus has or serves.
      Jesus said in John 20:17, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
      Why not believe what Jesus clearly states in the scriptures rather than what men teach in their churches and doctrines?

      Hi,
      Thank you so much for commenting. I would like you to consider two things:
      Jesus' favorite term for Himself was "the Son of Man."
      The religious leaders of His day went livid at this label because they knew exactly what He meant by it:
      📕 Daniel 7:13-15
      "I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him.
      And to Him was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
      As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me."
      #2:
      Consider how Jesus used I AM statements to validate who He was, referencing Exodus 3:14 ("I am"). One example is here:
      📕 John 8:58
      "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"
      Also, when God creates mankind, He says "Let Us make man in Our image."
      Shalom to you. ❤️ Praying for you.

    At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterwards was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.
    It's as if the people that have already put gay people through repair to therapy are commanding them to change to prove their theory? Which is become a sin trying to make people become and by the way they're trying to make gay people change into heterosexuals it's no different than Satan in the desert saying if you want to follow me cast that stone and turn it into bread we are not supposed to temp God if anybody's mocking God Rosario that would be you. 🙏😇
