How Christians Should Love the LGBTQ+ Community - Whiteboard Series

We get a lot of questions on our channel about how a Christian should respond to the LGBTQ+ community and what the appropriate stance should be. In this video we take a look a 5 steps we believe every Christian should take to better love people within this community.

The other day I spread the gospel to someone I work with, a lesbian. I was really afraid since it was the first non-believer I've tried to spread the gospel to so I was pretty unconfident, but I decided to talk to her about Jesus alone and after we spoke she told me she started to feel this pure love she never had before in her life. I was so happy, and really glorified God because I felt the Holy Spirit aided me in spreading the gospel.

I feel it's much more important to plant that seed of Jesus into someone's heart, so that even if they falter, they may always return and want to seek more because the seed is still in them. One day they may end up repenting on their own from their sins in the LGBTQ community, but they may also not. But condemning people for their lifestyles will only drive them further from Jesus. Even Jesus himself did not save everyone He came in contact with, the Pharisees and the like, so we must realize that if we even save one person, just one, from planting the seed of Jesus in them, that's absolutely amazing and remarkable in the eyes of God.

We should love others but not their practices

Im a lesbian until 2021, upon entering the walk with the Lord on 15 March 2021, I asked Christian friends if I am really accepted or if God loves me - a sinner. Her answer convicted me.

She said, "You will not be condemned, you are welcome, God loves you, but you will hear a call for transformation"

And it really happened. Now I can declare, I am a woman of God.

What I was taught growing up.
“Hate the sin love the sinner”😊

[lizzysanford]

I think the issue is that a lot of Christians prioritize being right over showing love and others prioritize showing love to the point they compromise their morals. I love this video because it shows that we can show love while keeping to our morals and it doesn’t have to be as hard as it’s being made. Somewhere along the way, the church has lost empathy for certain groups of people and it’s that very empathy that we need to further His kingdom♥️

As a Christian who is in public school where these lifestyles are shown and expressed often, and having friends who are apart of this community. This has shown me and given me a different perspective of how I can show them and lead them to Christ. Thank you! ^^

I was one of them，but thank God, He let me know that I was drowned in sin and He let me back to him😊

I was a bisexual male pretty much since I could think about the idea of romance. This all changed as of very recently. I converted to Christianity the Monday before the last (It is late Saturday whence I write this), and this past Wednesday, after a long talk and a lot of internal debate, I decided to cast down my sin of homosexuality and embrace God's Covenant. This is not some made-up sob story nor some lie, this was a real thing that happened. If I, a sinner since birth, can cast down something like my own sexuality, _you_ can do the same, and perhaps even the same unto others as well. I still love and respect my queer friends and even my ex-lovers, but never again will I join hands with another man in "love." This was a really good video and I'm glad I came across it. Salve Deus Dominus. May your days be long and your prospects fruitful.

I will be honest, I hesitated to watch this video...but I am glad that I did. THIS is by far the best Christian advice I have heard on this issue. I feel convicted because I know I have judged and been in the wrong here. Thank you for this, and keep doing the work of Jesus here on YouTube ❤

[ag-studios]

As a homophobic, I've needed this advice for so long. I'll be sending this video to my friends who are also Christians and to everyone in my family and maybe even to a pastor in my church. Thank you so much for doing God's work and spreading this wonderful advice!

[michaelsandersstudios]

I was scared at first. But I watched the whole video. Thanks for this. We have enough 'oh just love on them' advice. Which basically means 'overlook their sins and don't share the truth'. But this is actually to love them- show God's love and be transparent about the Bible's stance on sin.

[inhuman_human]

I literally asked God how to communicate with them because deep down I knew there was a better way. A better method and now I see this video! I’m so thankful. Thank you so much for this video

[trishh]

I’ll be honest, it’s hard to evangelise lgbtq people because as soon as you mention “Homosexuality is a sin”, you’re being “judgemental” even if you show them scripture. BUT, ofc, that doesn’t mean we just condemn them to hell.

[midnightamaris]

I have prayed a while back and asked God about this topic, and now I was lead to this video to find God's answer. Thank you for making this video ❤

[FirstNameLastNameAName]

FINALLY! as a Christian right now, I've been looking for this everywhere.

[bobr]

Focusing on LGBTQ+ is really not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is Christians going around telling people that they’re going to hell because they’re living in a certain way. And like you said it’s God‘s job to make that decision. Our job is to spread the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[LianaE]

This is insanely helpful. Since we are all sinners, we all screw up, and I’ve made quite a few mistakes when it comes to this matter… It’s so easy to let pride and arrogance get in the way of truly mirroring God and His likeness. Our job as Christians is to point others to God, to mirror Him, so that when they see us, they see a light in us, the Holy Spirit. And I hate to say it, but looking at my past actions, I haven’t been very loving to the LGTBQ community. This video really opened my eyes, and while I’ll always struggle with sin, as all Christians do, I now know what to do in order to take steps to be more loving and humble, especially when it comes to this subject.

[apocalypseofplush]

I'm gonna be honest, even Christians struggle with LGBTQ temptations. I myself have struggled with gender dysphoria and same sex attraction. But I knew what God's Word said, and through the help of God I was able to overcome those feelings.

[jonathannewman]

I’m going to be truthful here, this video is an eye opener to how us Christians should treat people in the LGBTQ community. Speaking the truth in love is can really help someone come out of a sinful lifestyle such as homosexuality

One of the people I was closest to at my last workplace was a lesbian, I didn’t even know for a long while that they were lesbian but she knew that I was Christian. We talked a lot about football and had lunch together often with our other friends. She was one of the best parts of working at that place and I tried to show her the kind of kindness that someone of our faith should show. I don’t know that I changed her beliefs in any way, but I hope at the very least I changed her mind about Christians at least
