Can Someone be Gay and Christian? Pt. 2 with Becket Cook

[@justicefreedom2648]

I admire this man immensely. As a Christian and heterosexual unmarried woman with homosexual friends, I heard so much truth and compassion here!

[@weesiekitty]

Bradley....how do you feel Becket ’turned’ on his friends? In another video, he tells how quite a few of the gay friends he had before and still had, have also left the lifestyle and come to Christ. This should be celebrated, not condemned! He didn’t turn on anyone....Jesus turned HIS life around.

[@l.6348]

I agree, this man doesn’t understand that he was caught up in a culture of ungodly people and then meet Jesus it wasn’t that the gayness of him was causing all this, nooo it was him never knowing god and all those ungoldly people around him... he literally says he never saw a bible lol like imagine if he was Christian and gay he’d probably would of thought more about his auctions but no it’s because he’s gay that he did all that not because he didn’t know god.... I’m a Christian and gay and his argument is flawed

[@pounamubts7802]

@Bradley he's "sold out" for Jesus The LORD

[@xarmyrainbowwarriors1445]

@Bradley I saw Becket in another interview and he said his gay friends turned on HIM.

[@Disciple-ofChrist]

@@l.6348 Becket was from a Christian background! He said when he tried to read the Bible, he couldn't understand it, UNTIL he was regenerated!!!

[@niakum7813]

This man genuinely love the Lord. The conversion is deep and real

[@fourcakers]

I love Becket and he is so brave to come out as a Christian man in such a debauched society of Hollywood. Kudos to him. Yah will reveal His glory to HIm if you only ask!!!! I watch him with Chynna Phllips all the time. The Lord said when he returns it will be as in the days of Noah, so this was all prophesied in the bible....in the last days they will call good evil and evil good.........I am sharing this with people on FB and hopefully it will be a help to someone else who is going through this.

[@jacquelynnjones1372]

becket, your commitment to God is so inspiring 🤍

[@vhd4325]

Becket!! You are so amazing, I honestly cannot get enough of watching you, the joy you exude, you are an absolute pleasure to watch! I feel privileged just to sit here and hear your testimony! It makes me smile to think about how God will continue to use you to glorify his name. Thank you for sharing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Most folks are “Christian” in name only. In all of humanity, one is either saved or lost. The real question that each person needs to ask themselves Is......... does your moral compass point to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ or does your moral compass point to yourself.

[@pounamubts7802]

sweeping statement, if you haven't met "most folks"....let's look at ourselves...

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Pounamu Bts7 No, we don’t look at ourselves. We look to Jesus Christ. When we look at ourselves, everything is permissible.

[@sashadence6409]

I'm glad Becket mentioned that the lifestyle itself is damaging -- to the heart as well as the (potentially) the body. This is one of the reasons it's been so hard for me to see it as sinful. I wish he'd talk more about what the lifestyle is actually like. The image I get from my progressive Christian loved ones is that there are lifelong happy, faithful, committed, totally loving gay unions that are as flourishing or more than heterosexual marriages. And we've refused anointing to those wonderful unions because of our Christian bigotry. It's just so so confusing, because I know same-sex attraction isn't 'chosen' -- my sister was lesbian and I knew she was very 'male' for want of a better word for it -- from early early childhood (she named her tricycle "Trigger") but she died recently of an opiod overdose. Anyway her life started 'well' and ended 'poorly'. She deserved compassion. I think a big part of the problem is our expectations of what this life is going to 'give' us. We think we're going to get what we want and that fantasy is so powerful. It can be all that keeps some of us going in the hard times. It is instructive I think that Mr. Cook came to Jesus when all else proved 'empty' as he put it. It's like we have to find out for ourselves that the promises of our culture, our whole way of life in the West were truth told, aren't going to come true. Life, this life, will refuse us many things we want. Maybe even the big ones, like sucess and romance. Probably especially those, not sure -- but thanks for this Mr. Cook keep on clearing things us b/c it's like clear as mud for many of us trying to be faithful to both the compassion of Jesus and also the fact that he told us Reality isn't what we want it to be based on our feelings.

[@toothdoc215]

Follow the Biblical truths u cannot go wrong and ask God / Jesus into your heart ❤️ you will feel and see difference and become a changed person God us real the Bible is the truth and Jesus is the way the truth and the light no man cometh unto the father but by him I pray you seek and find the answers through Christ Jesus and Godly counsel

[@christopherscheiber1439]

The description of homosexuality as a lifestyle is a blatent oversimplification of human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. Such indoctrination of the collective societal psyche is paramount to the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle" is because there is no need to catogorize heterosexuality with such inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison.

[@J_a_s_o_n]

@@christopherscheiber1439 homosexuality is a malfunction. It's a PERVERSION of the creator's will. The manufacturer God can sort this issue if you return for warranty cover free from Jesus Christ

[@cynthiafung7954]

'But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,we have fellowship with one another,and the blood of Jesus,his Son,purifies us from all sin. If we claim to without sin,we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" 1John 1:7-9

[@Sandy-jc3vv]

This is amazing. But why am I so in awe when the Holy Bible proclaims in so many various scriptures and stories the Love of God!!!

[@jenniferbarney1127]

I love hearing Becket Cook's testimony and his new life in Christ! What a celebration of the power of God working in his life - my own life was like the woman at the well and Jesus rescued me "the chief of sinners" completely and utterly to a new life in Him, Hallelujah! I must disagree tho' with the pastor's view on going to a gay friend's wedding. As well-meaning but misguided Christians who voted for gay marriage we all have to make an account before God for our actions. How could I justify my approval (by attending a gay wedding) of what God clearly says is wrong? How can I not be judged by God for contributing further to a person's downfall? As a Christian, I cannot be loving my neighbor by approving actions which pushes them further away from God. This is not mean or judgmental if we truly love that person with the love of God and explain it's out of love not hate to stand for what is true.

[@sindiswaluthuli1178]

People praising Beckett but are forgetting that it is ONLY JESUS who is the power to change us. The Lord Christ ALONE has been transforming Beckett and all of us who believe, it is most definitely not our doing. We are sinners to the core and only gravitate toward wickedness and the Lord Jesus is the ONLY one that drives us away from sinning and the ONLY one that makes us obey His holy order, so let's not boast. ~John 14:6 ✝~

Great interview with Becket about his personal experience and salvation from a life devoted to debauchery, but I hope no one believes this addresses and forever settles all questions regarding all homosexuality.

[@helmerrodriguez979]

God rules!!hallelujah!!!!!!

[@hamed2928]

The interviewee has it straight on. The pastor-- how could he say that it's okay to go to ANY same-sex marriage ceremony. What would the pastor say when they ask , "Does anyone have any just cause to say why these two should not be joined in holy wedlock?" It's supposed to be a celebration. Celebrating that two people are entering into a lifestyle of sin knowingly and with full approval of everyone that is attending? The interviewee had it right. The heterosexuals are now hopefully getting right with God and now they are getting married and not living in open sin sexually anymore.

[@ravindraisaacs6280]

[@justintyme3985]

The problem with this theory is that the Greek translation of the bible says otherwise, as do theological scholars. Whats more, If being gay is genetic, then that means god failed in his creation. If he made them gay despite the fact he says its a sin, which it doesn't in the bible, then he made a mistake, which means he isn't all powerful and all knowing. So, believing he is all powerful and all knowing, it makes more sense that a book written by man has been mistranslated.

[@jsshay01]

The problem with what you said, is that there is no problem with the “Greek translation.” It is a myth. The NKJV translation is exactly what the original transcripts say. The main difference is that the Greek has more words that have more precise meanings than the English, but the translation from Greek to English is perfectly acceptable with no differences. Our pastor was an atheist before he turned to the Lord Jesus Christ and he had all these arguments you say about the “Greek translation” but research showed him they were not legitimate. That is an argument many of the Jehovah’s Witnesses use. Again, not true. The only problem with modern translations is that many leave out pertinent words and verses which “water down” the gospel message. Please be very careful not to mislead new or weak Christians with misinformation. Research for yourself, you will find out the truth. 😊🙏🏽💕

[@linjp2773]

As another ex-atheist saved by Jesus, I fully agree with J S comments regarding the accuracy of the scriptures. Also, to your second point, there's no credible proof that being gay or trans for that matter, is the result of genetics.

[@michaelcelia6202]

D Reid, I was stunned by the pastor's (?) answer too! And was kinda apprehensive what Mr. Becket would say. And was thankful that his answer contradicted the pastor's. I really praise God for this man and praying that God will give him more strength, more wisdom, more humility and dependence on God alone. I am praying for the pastor as well. Becket has more conviction than he has on the homosexuality issue. I'm worried for this pastor😦🙏🙏

[@jennijones1532]

Short answer. No.

[@linjp2773]

Yet the full truth is not only that it's possible, but that many have experienced it. I've seen it. We can do nothing, but all things are possible with God.

[@ronsmith2241]

I was a Baptist Pastor and Missionary and take the scriptures very seriously. I am gay, medically proven. God creates some people and many animals gay. It is NOT wrong. I don't lie about it anymore. I was married to my very accepting wife for 51 years. She had MS for 26 years and I cared for her almost all that time. I thanked her for accepting me as her gay husband and she said "Of course. That was easy. Why wouldn't I?" She has since passed away this year. I have been told recently I am not welcome to even attend church. It was hard for me to know I never was acceptable at church.

[@J_a_s_o_n]

HI Ron. If you take the scriptures seriously you would know that homosexuality is against God. God has never created anyone gay. You don't take scriptures seriously as you can't prove that. It is in fact EXTREMELY SAD that you are a PASTOR because sadly you are working for satan as a pastor and he is in control of that altar. The Holy Spirit has left you long ago. Seek deliver a as you are lost plus in SIN and the lake of fire for Eternity awaits you. God Bless you and your family

This is the most important issue to christians? If so, this is beyond sad. It’s pathetic. Behold another religious narcisst
