Gay and Christian, No Contradiction | Brandan Robertson | TEDxLSSU

[Lincoln]

Jesus loves all, but keep reading.
He loves the tax collector who took too much tax, but asked him to do so no more.
He loves the woman who took to prostitution, but asked her to do so no more.
He loves the man who took to murder, but asked him to do so no more.

Jesus does not hate the sinner.
He hated the sin.
He asked the sinner to stop sinning.
That message is missing in the talk.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:35

[ChristHealsTheSick]

A loving God does not promote hate, people dedicate more time to spreading hate and taking the role of the pharisees than they do loving their neighbor.

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8

This quote from the Bible is all i need to know that Jesus loves me despite my homosexuality "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." He claims that the common sense meaning of these words is wrong. Why? It's lost due to our culture being 2000 years removed from when this was written. Hence, we have no clue what this prohibition actually means. The only problem with this obfuscation is that it's ahistorical. The early church (and the Jewish tradition before it) WERE living in this cultural context, and KNEW exactly what these words meant. They condemned hs activity accordingly. Churches that do so now are not doing this due to innovation based on lack of present-day understanding but are simply following what the church/Jewish community understood from Day One.

People fear if they dig in scriptures to get more knowledge, they may find truth that messes with their shallow thinking. Quoting one scripture not being able to research why it was written and in that time frame scares people. So sticking to that boxed in mentality will keep them from growing spiritually, religion only stunts your growth, walking in love will cause you to grow.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” 1 John 2:16

What I’m trying to figure out is why everybody so concerned about homosexuality, and divorce is condemned in the Bible yet it’s so prevalent today and the Church says nothing about it, and it’s actually a choice rather than homosexuality which is how a person is born. Just something to think about ig

[dianawood]

This pastor decided for himself what was true before he went searching for it. He seeks to justify his desires, not to serve God.

[jeffmiller]

Seriously? This guy is just grabbing at straws in order to try to make a Biblical excuse for what secular humanism condones.

[GoldSword]

'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. This is so clear, that my 5 year old understands.

[amberkammer]

You don`t need to meet numerous pastors or dig archeological sites to find out what "The Bible actually teaches" Everything is written in simple words in the Scriptures: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination" "For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."

[ry_higgy]

God laid out the foundations of our design in Genesis, our sin blinds us to that perfect original design, and until we are "born again" we will not be able to see the kingdom of God. (John 3:4). Don't take it from me, nor this man; both of us are lost sheep, read the Gospels and see how God has revealed himself to us, and beware, do not read the good news looking for it to conform to you. Instead allow yourself to be transformed by the good news.

[picksmith]

This talk is not great. One of the most clear and simple Scriptural condemnations of homosexuality is Romans 1. This dude decided to literally forget it and chose to spend 5 minutes on Leviticus
He’s not a believer. If you are believer listen to people that actually believe in the Scriptures

[kallelellacevej]

These “Christians” in the comments have no mercy.

[daniellezoe]

Beware false prophets for they will lead the sheep astray. The bible does say that a man shall not lie with another man as he would a woman ... and to do so is an abomination.

[eliiskra]

As a Christian, I literally cannot even fathom how this man even got this answer. I think it’s pretty clear in Leviticus that a man should not sleep with another man and a woman shouldn’t sleep with another woman. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 it talks about those who won’t inherit the Kingdom of God and it literally says those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the Kingdom of God. I guess he just missed this or smth. He is speaking blasphemy. May the real Jesus show this man who He really is.

[CoreySturkey]

He’s been given over to the reprobated mind. God has taken his hand off him so he believes his own thoughts. Imagine thinking that you was the one to figure out the Bible didn’t say this is wrong🤣out of all the scholars beforehand lol the arrogance is crazy lol

[jonathanpiland]

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The Bible doesn’t evolve (devolve really) to conform to our sin and desires.

[calbertts]

Every time I make love with my boyfriend, I think there’s anything more pure and beautiful that loving each other in that way.

I don’t need the Bible to confirm that, nature is not wrong, love is never wrong, instead, judging is.

Additionally, bible condemns male homosexuality but what about lesbianism? It’s funny how Christian’s judge this guy for picking up parts of the Bible while they do exactly the same.
