you know, reading comment sections like these makes me wonder how you guys are actually surprised that diehard Christians are displayed negatively in media just saying

[tashchica]

I'm a huge fan of Vicky's music for years and she lives a non-threatening life as I judge that she's a friendly caring person and this world is too much bigotry and bullying against people like this. It's not fair murderers, thieves and other physical crimes get away with that because they have nothing better to do as I consider physical illegal crimes are true sins. Not Vicky she's wonderful and encouraging towards others in her own way. If anyone else has nothing nice to say about her leave her alone!

[HatboroBaptist]

Thank you for your honesty, Vicky. The church I serve has used your music before but we are making a point of using it even more now. Thank you for your faithfulness.

The Bible says in,
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3,

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

vicky, the Light of Christ guides you to what He wants for you. He will lead you to the Truth that He has for your Life and that Truth may not be popular with more bigoted Christians. The Light is Love.

Biggest stars? I'm pretty up to date on Christian music, and I've never heard of her.

Who edit did this video?! The photo stock clips are louder than the subject

[furrymonkeything]

Be the truth that you are. Let no one stand between you and God. Amen Vicky. Be strong.

Jesus died to save His people FROM THEIR SINS not in their sins, see Matthew 1:21. True Christians believe in Jesus because He has power to save them from their sins. Whenever Christ healed someone someone in the Bible He charged that person to go and sin no more: John 5:14; 8:11. If we sin wilfully after a knowledge of the truth then there is no more sacrifice for sins, but judgment and fiery indignation, see Hebrews 10:26-27, for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, see Romans 1:16-32.

There is a word that is rarely used today - HOLINESS. To be holy means to be like God, and God wants Christians to be holy as He is holy, see Leviticus 11:44. The unholy lifestyle, which sodomy is, is clearly seen as one of the reasons why God separated His people from other nations as it is an abominable lifestyle to Him. He does not want His people to live that way, to either have sex with the same sex or to dress like the oppsite sex, see Leviticus 20:13; Deuteronomy 22:5; 23:17;Romans 1:26-27.

Jesus is Holy, our Saviour, and He is God, Luke 4:34; Titus 3:4, 6; John 1:1-3, 14; Hebrews 1:1-14. Only one equal with the law of God could die as a substitute for men's transgression of that law (see 1 John 3:4; John 3:16-18, ) and give men power to have strength to overcome so that they can be called sons of God, see John 1:12. To be holy is to have the Holy Spirit and He is given to those who obey God and keep His commandments, see Acts 5:32; 1 John 3:23-24.

Those who commit sin are of the devil, and why did Jesus come? To destroy the works of the devil, see 1 John 3:8. A person living a sodomite (gay) lifestyle is committing sin and doing the works of the devil. But to be born of God is to live by the power of God and not to live in sin, see 1 John 3:9-10; Romans 2:2-8; Jude 7.

God is love, but His love is pure, holy, and of a higher and different order than the human. Men and women can only be elevated to this higher order of love, and receive this love in their hearts when they keep His commandments and accept His word as He has given us, see 1 John 4:8; 5:2-3, 5; 3:5.

There is no true and lasting happiness living in sinful lifestyles like the gay lifestyle. Jesus therefore came to give lasting, eternal, and true hapiness and power, the power of His love, through the acceptance of Him and the lifestyle that He commands us to live as written in the Bible.

Vicky, God loves you, tenderly, but you are sadly deceived. Christ can give you power to overcome. All true Christians know that it is a struggle to battle, daily, with our sins. So did the Apostle Paul. We struggle with lying, stealing, pride, fornication, anger, maliciousness, hatred, and all the other evils that plague fallen sinful human beings.

The only way we can overcome is to die daily to our own lifestyles/ ways and to allow Christ to live within us, see 1 Corinthians 15:31; Galations 2:20-21. Baptism symbolizes this death of the old man and his evil sinful ways (down into the water) but then if we have true faith in God's power to save we are resurrected by the power of God (up out of the water), regenerated to a new life free of sin by the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ.

Accept the real truth that the gay lifestyle is wicked and evil, no matter how you may think or feel, and turn to that which is good and true.

Eternal love, power and happiness will be imparted to you through Jesus Christ, and when you have gained the victory over this He will fulfil the promise: "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne." Revelation 3:21.

[bernicerogers]

Being true to ourselves was never what God called us to do. We have to be true to Him and let His love change us. Modern times don't change the fact that sin is sin. We have to die to self each day. We have to be humble enough to admit we are wrong in many ways and the power of Love can transform us. We then find not our selfish happiness but true joy.

I am a christian and i love a woman. I know its not what God intended for my life but he is still very present in my life. So when people ask how can you be gay and be christian
... my answer is... i dont know really but he still loves me

[hillakauppinen]

Its okay to be gay. You have been made perfect, just like Jesus was. above all, love everyone.

[aghatsh]

"Who loves Me keeps My commands". JESUS

[Pamelina]

Then as a Christian she knows what the Bible says. Just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn't mean they stop sinning. It depends on how devoted she is and what she's willing to give up for Christ.

[rebeccarankin]

I don't agree with being gay but Jesus taught me to love everyone just the same!

[esguy]

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

[sofiamorehead]

i simply find it difficult to believe that god would make someone inherently sinful. that seems distinctly unlike the lord.

[robertquinones]

Carnal teaching produces carnal Christians who have not really understood the gospel and their true identity in Christ. Praying for this woman

[dieselheart]

In a recent interview with the BBC she said at least now I can be true to myself. The problem is she is now obliging the church to miss represented self instead. It is not that she is gay that I have a problem with but that's because she is gay every other Christian was compromised themselves or be crucified by the media.

[helenculling]

She seems like a really lovely person that has been through a horrific time. It stands what the bible says about homosexuality however, I believe that if a person walks with God in their life, they will find freedom and true happiness.
