00:07 A Biblical View of Sexuality & Gender
5:24 What does the Bible say about sexual and gender identity?
21:08 What should a person do who is struggling with gender dysphoria?
29:52 What if my child is struggling with gender?
50:54 Connect to James River Church
At 23:31 I think he makes a really good point. The hate within christians needs to stop. I have grown up in church and went to James river church as a child. But throught that entire time I was hated on for how I presented my gender. Growing up I presented very androgynous and was often asked by my peers “are you a boy or a girl”. I wasn’t accepted as who I was, especially in churches. I think the main reason for why I don’t feel safe in churches anymore is because of all of the hate. I am non-binary and I am so much happier with my life since coming out.
I understand the majority of Christian’s wouldn’t agree with me and my identity but please let us just live our lives. Without the hate, and without the laws against us
Such a timely message! Thankful for a pastor who preaches the word of God unapologetically!
What were the scriptures?👏👏🧖♀️🧖♀️
This is the kind of message that makes trans children kill themselves! I wouldn't be thankful for that :/
God Bless you! Thank you Lord for giving this pastor, your servant the strength to speak the truth. Amen.
This music brings tears to my eyes. God is wonderful, I can’t thank him enough. People who know me and my husband in our area. They know what we have been through and how long it took us to be successful and where we are at the moment. If you are familiar withe scriptures, I mean the word of God you can tell that Jesus always talked about destiny helpers and I met mine 6 years ago.. I met Mr Andrew in a church seminar 6 years ago. He is a young man with a good heart. God used him to change my life and the lives of people around us. It was a huge step we took and we do not regret it. I always talk about him everywhere pardon me. If you are out there and loosing hope I want you to know that God has plans for everyone of us. i feel my story should encourage a lot of people. I will drop info of him below
@Davis Carlon if y0u w1sh to reach 0ut to he here is h!s email inf0@j0hnneilandrew, C0M ! tell every0ne ab0ut he and h0w he really changed my life and i am very grateful t0 G0d f0r bringing he int0 my life, i pray for every0ne 0ut there g0ing thr0ugh a’l0t 0f difficulties 0ut there G0D WILL SEE Y0U THR0UGH. IF Y0U BELIVE C0MMENT AMEN, REMA!N BLESSED

Who is mr. Andrew?🦼🦼🌇🌇
This man is writes this message on alot of Christian platforms. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT any email address he provides. There are many scammers on Christian RUclips comments.
God loves all His Children and thanks to JRA for speaking the Truth of the Word...Praise God.
😭😭😭HELP ME!
Yesss!!! Such a great word!!! ✝️✝️✝️
Look, what were the scriptures about sex and genders?🎲🎲🎲
Preach it
This video rolled over as autoplay was on so I "accidentally" found this. Granted, I don't believe in accidents. God led me to this message. My 19 yr old child just told me they have gender dysphoria. They (aren't putting him or her out of respect to not share with anyone as I promised ) are not a Christian. No passion for anything in life, no meaning found for life. It breaks my heart. They have loved with their dad for years and just found their way back to me.
I needed to hear this. It's absolutely what I believe and feel. We share God's love through our actions. That doesn't mean I have to support the lifestyle or action. I'm so torn on this but I know one thing- God is in control.
Thank you James River for this encouraging message. It made me cry. ❤️
Amen
Excellent! Sí clear, clean ando precise
🙌
I love this. God doesn't hate anyone, but he does detest some of our actions. We can walk through all of this confusion with love.
Also start with God loves you instead of purposely saving it for the middle
Deuteronomy 23:1 (KJV) He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
I’m glad John and his sons preach relative topics that impact our families and culture even hard topics of sexuality. All shorts from pansexual to homosexual bisexual etc. they are at higher risk for bulling and Suicide. Sesame Street a few years ago had a song singing I am gay I was born that way. This targets our toddlers
Thank you! As always, Biblically accurate and very timely.
On point...period!🌰🌰🌰🌰
WOW , WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 You Will SMILE 😀💜
The video quality of this video is shockingly good. Bravo to your tech team, really amazing job!
keep the newness of the living water going....this was timely for me T O D A Y
Thank you for your insight! Sharing it with my 12th grade girls life group before they head out on their own! We have to lovingly reach the lost with truth! We ALL need Jesus! ❤
So good!
This message causes trans kids to kill themselves it's not loving at all!
This was really good! Why did the musicians cover you up?
I can't believe only 50 ppl have viewed this. And I'm the 50th person.
This was an EXCELLENT MESSAGE! From what I heard "as plain as day" in explaining and presenting the "TRUTH".
I guess I'm kind of "shocked" that out of all the ppl who heard this more ppl aren't on here "supporting" the Truth, Pastor Lindell and this message. Maybe they just haven't had time to get on their phone's or computer's yet.
(Correction: at first I put i couldn't believe only 50 ppl had "commented" on it. I was WRONG. Only 50 ppl had "VIEWED" IT.
MY APOLOGIES).
Poor people...help them!🤯🤯🤯🛀🛀🛀

Thank You.
Good preaching
What about STONE ( THROWING STONES )A SINNER and CUT ONE's HAND FOR STEALING??
Thank you for teaching the bible with love and care!!!
🙏
Trans children kill themselves because of ideas like this! For sure not a loving message at all!
Can someone answer me this?
Romans 8:1-2. Aren’t we all condemned unless we are in Jesus? So people, wether transgender or not, if they don’t believe in Jesus, they are condemned. Just like anyone.
40+ million people
Following Sundays message, I'm upset and struggling. But why such a taboo topic that I'm now tired of?
Won't somebody help me!!♂️♀️♂️♀️
I would say as I’ve always heard put God first, read the word ask God to speak to you and guide you, I believe God loves all of us and we all fall short of something, that’s why he died on the cross for us. I don’t know if this this helps you, I’m 50 and still having hard time processing everything in this world. Loving yourself is very important and trusting in God, I hope you find peace
@@donnabray7486 Loving yourself? Is that Biblical?
I’m sure that it is, why would God not want you to love yourself… it says love your neighbor as yourself
@@donnabray7486 He just knows that we are all selfish evil people that care more about our self's and want's us to treat other people as well as we treat our self's. "Do unto others as you do unto yourself" I believe He wants us to put others before our self's,. There is no better Love then to give your life for another person.
I believe the Bible, however why are some people born with both sexual parts ?
Because they're intersex people! And what is gender dysphoria?🤯🤯🤯
No what are some people born with no arms or six fingers. It is a biological anomalyq. The end. Just because a teaching doesn't make you feel better about yourself doesn't mean it isnt true or that how one feels about themself means that their perception is a fact.
Both ovaries and testicle start out as the same exact thing...gonads. It is impossible to identify sex in an embryo because both males and females start off exactly the same until the x/y chromosome dictates how the body is built. In nature there are many animals that have both sexes, some animals can even reproduce with only themselves. I'll never understand why religious people care so much about what clothing other people wear and what they want to be called and who they have sex with.
@@melaniemartin4319 I believe this also, I would like to know what the Bible says about this, because I can’t find anything.
@@Beherenoww I’m a Christian, I don’t care who anyone has sex with or what they wear, I love people because they are people. I never understood this subject.
Too,1 more.A STRAIGHT MAN MARRYING WIFE's SISTER.
Better questions...what does the Bible say about slavery? What does the Bible say about rape, incest ol and men having multiple wives? What does the Bible say about child brides? What does the Bible say about the seemingly natural homosexual behavior witnessed throughout the animal kingdom? Perhaps we should use the thinking mind God gave us to realize these ancient texts were written and translated in a far less enlightened time. A time when women were considered little more than property and rules were crafted around ancient man's desires, needs and pre-scientific beliefs. Its my belief all sins are choices, no one chooses to be gay or trans. The real sin is condemning people to live a life of lies and repression so you can feel sanctimonious in your very personal interpretation of the Bible.
Not suitable for everyone...even ME!🤮🤮🤮
@@melaniemartin4319 👁👄👁
Very good point !!!!
I'm going to ask a question that will sound offensive. Did you watch and listen to the entire message? Or did you skim it?
After you answer that we can talk about your other questions.
@@avaviel That's not offensive. I watched the whole thing.
I have a transgender relative and have had transgender clients. Schools are teaching we’re coming from monkeys which is not biblical world view of us made in Gods image male and female. They are teaching LBGTQ in schools and I get all kinds of training in gender identity sensitivity as my work including the pronouns.
Everyone has a sexual orientation that's as unique as our god-given fingerprints. You're included no exceptions no excuses. One of the letters is for you.
@@dansaber8435 Roman’s 1 states that God gave people over to a depraved mind because their hearts were harden. They exchanged the truth for a lie. They worship created things not the creator. They exchanged natural relationships for lust for each other and sinful desires. Romans 1: 24-28.
@@tiffanysteen1845 only a rational person can find no fault in Christ recognize the Messiah and call themselves a Christian. You just sound like the people that wanted him dead. I find no fault with the lgbtq whatsoever. Your turn.
@@dansaber8435 Jesus is the one who was sinless and took on our sin on the tree. 2 Corinthians 5:21. God spirit testified at Jesus baptism that He was the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. It’s a matter of the heart being transformed. In my own thinking or logic I am unwise foolish and prone to sin or miss the target of Gods holiness. It’s not logic it’s faith in your heart.
My previous comment was that I have worked lovely with those in lgbtq community and I love them so does God and I was thankful for this message.
@Tiffany Steen if you want any part of Jesus sacrifice you have to trust God like Adam and Eve did before they fell. Romans 1 is about you. Who do you know good and evil as? Do you believe a lie and worship the creature more than the Creator? When Paul said men with men he was talking about what you do and fellowship. Religious people have the same lust for each other Eve had for herself that she become like God knowing Good and Evil.
Nobody,no human being yet has solved THE ENTIRE CHRISTIAN BIBLE's every single sentences the real meaning or messages to we HIS CREATION if not there Wouldnt be any PASTOR PREACHING....adding to it DIFFERENT doctrines among More than A thousand denominations because of different opinions....
Lots of claims. Zero evidence.
He literally has scientific journal articles posted during the sermon.
@@masona.9875 lol.. 😂 scientific journals at a church 😂😂😂😂
@@unapologetic4859 You mean the Wall Street Journal that he quoted?
@@masona.9875 did he cite the Wall Street journal once to back one claim out of thousands of bullshit ones? Did he really? 😂
@@unapologetic4859 So what was false about his citation?
Bruh legit I’m happier as a trans woman
I'm happier as a trans man. Do what's correct for you and your path in life.
@@charliegmitro4578 thats what im saying
@@lexistacy9980 I feel like a lot of this was aimed towards children. I guess I understand the parental concern but this is not the majority of transgender experiences.
@@charliegmitro4578 yup
This needs 300 million views.

Being transgender is gen Z's version of being trendy, artsy, hip and edgy ...I'm Gen X and I used to dress post-punk/new wave; thank God I moved on from that.
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Conclusion, be non binary for the lord.
"The Bible got the easiest moral question that humanity has ever faced wrong... slavery. What are the chances that the Bible got something as complicated as human sexuality wrong as well? 100%!"
-Dan Savage
And what about slavery did the Bible get wrong? Please show me context and passages.
The Bible is from the Holy Spirit. He never gets anything wrong.
To all who have been carefully reading my messages I’ve recently loaded up through MSNBC and other RUclips platforms. I thank you for having an open mind. My last message was about respecting others of how they worship and of whom they feel they should be according to there sexual identity. GÔD, Lord Lucifer and our high priest Lord Christ all knew in advance that because God made us perfect with a mind, heart and soul of our own that one day in our life’s we would make our own destiny of how to worship. So no matter what your believes are..whether you are Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim or an Occult worshipper. God knew at the end according to a person personal research in religion and government that we all would feel an inspiration of what feels right in our hearts and minds which God knew would make us all a better person having no pressure from others. This is why God himself turn the other cheek (being flexible) from some of his ancient laws and decide that as man progresses into the future every day every month and every year everything around us would constantly change and so we should never feel guilty of how we worship for at the end of the day only your soul that connects to the spiritual world of many entities then connects back to our creator God Almighy. It is why God made all things possible for us to choose what’s best for us. It is why he created Lord Lucifer and Lord Christ our high priest for he entrusted them with a mission on earth. He knew that his most holiest of his children would at the end of the day have there own opinions of what’s best for them and for the human race. This is whom God is giving us the right to worship as well as to acknowledging that divisions of his ancient church would have offsprings of many other religions. All because he gave us the right to interpret his message of his laws that he brought unto this earth to worship as we please.
No one can ever judge you nor can say his religion is the correct religion for what a person decide keeps God happy for he alone knows our thoughts and what bleeds From our heart.
GÔD alone writes his book of many mysteries and secrets that balance Mother Earth and his entire universe of may worlds that go through the same act of making there own destiny according to his preference of how to worship our creator of many entities that we connect in secret.
At the end of the day God our creator loves all that he created no mater if you are atheist, a witch, a wizard, a minister, a priest, a pope, a president or a world supreme KÎNG ruler.
GÔD will never reject you because we are all his children.
This is why America The Great is Gods example to the world of having the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion and the freedom of choosing our next President.
Four years ago he chose our former President Donald J Trump for a special reason this reason was to go war speed on having the best scientists create a Covid vaccine. For this reason God honored President Trump. Then he chose President Joe Biden for another good reason this reason was to open the doors to millions of immigrants around the world which God honored President Joe Biden for this action. God knows the world looks up to America The Great regardless who’s behind the Oval Office as Commander In Chief. By having Joe Biden Flood America with new immigrants would expand our armies of many legions. For all that have come into America The Great are now loyal citizens or are in the process of becoming loyal citizens of The United States Of America. My advise to all immigrants is to immediately join the armies of America in exchange America will instantly welcome you as a new American citizen.
GÔD brought me into this world preparing me for my mission since I was a child and for a special reason. As I move forward in small increments of my messages through several platforms under comments through RUclips by the end of 2022 the world will acknowledge Î as your new World Suprme KÎNG Ruler God Almighty alone chose. Î will then position myself in the country Î was born being America The Great to immediately implement new laws and policies of Gods NWO starting first in America The Great then swiftly spreading my NWO under Gods authority to every government around the world. What was done in the ancient world was meant for that time what will be done in our present time of Gods NWO is meant to be and sealed by God himself.
I look forward of meeting you one day regardless of your personal religious believes.

I agree that we have free will. I also agree that God Is love. “For God so loved the world He gave his only son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. He did not send his son into the world to condemn it but that the world would be saved. He who accepts The Son has life”( John 3:16-17). Paul says “God desires no one to perish but everyone to come to repentance. “ Jesus told Thomas after the resurrection when Thomas asked how can we know the way? “I am the way the truth the life life no one comes to the Father but my me John 14:6 . Scriptures state you will know The Truth and the truth will set you free John 8:32. Yes we are all made in His image and greatly loved by God. We are children of God not because of anything we have done. John 1:12 “But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to be children of God.” Romans 8:14 says that those led by the Spirit are children of God. “For you are all children of God through faith in Christ” Galatians 3:26. 1 John 5:1 “ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God.” We are instructed to love one another because Love is of God. If we love God we will obey His commandments. It’s not out of duty or to please God but out of overflow of Love for God and others (1 John 3:10, 1 John 4:7-8).
So you see God loves you. He loves those in LBTQ community. He shows us his love according to Romas 5:8 that while we we’re still sinners Christ died for us. We are children of God through faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Only his Spirit can draw someone to repentance . Paul writes the church in Ephesians that it is a free gift of Gods grace not by any works (Ephesians 2:8). It is through our mouth and believing in our heart that Jesus is Christ and he was raised from the dead we are saved. Romans 10:10. Do you believe this? I pray God illuminates the minds of all who read this. His Word is living and active.
God is my angry at you. His heart is towards you. He is madly in love with you. There’s nothing you can do to earn his love or approval. He already accomplished salvation through his son. Like Joshua I ask you will you choose life or death? Chose life that you might live!
Well said Tiffany ُ۳ُ💡
You are confused buddy and I am gonna pray for you. This may be out of line but I thing you are doing drugs and I’m gonna pray for it
