Professing Christians defend the Pride Festival - Full Conversation

This is the fruit of this generation's evangelical, youth camp, emotion-driven, megachurchianity culture. We can have thousands of teens experience an "emotional encounter with God", and the wicked acts of our culture will remain unabated. Let us turn to God, and learn from our past mistakes.

Telling people that they're sinners (including gays) and needing God's grace is the only approach. Jesus and the apostles did the same thing in their day and were persecuted and put to death for it.

[@tristanloveday5240]

​@@juzeus9 ​By the German translation, are you referring to Luthers 1545 translation? If so, that's demonstrably false. It says: Du sollst nicht beim Knaben liegen wie beim Weibe; denn es ist ein Greuel. Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, that is detestible. I couldn't find the other translations you're referring to, but they probably suffer from the same problem, they're continually updated/revised with new manuscripts. Regardless, are both those translations the authoritative source for the accurate word used? Or should we appeal to the original Hebrew word usage? Which is Zakar. Which is Used 77 times as Man, mankind, male or 4 times as "child". So it's a stretch both logically to automatically assume (considering other passages like Lev 20:13 - which applies the guilt of both parties) that it's referring to a child, both logically and Statistically. Disregarding that, how do you contend with the historical evidence against homosexuality in ancient Israelite culture? Furthermore, how do you contend with the quite obvious (Romans 1, 1 Cortinthians 6) condemnation of Homosexuality in the New Testament? This just seems like the greatest motte and bailey fallacy argument ever. The same people arguing for supposed long term, committed relationships between same sex couples within Christanity, would have no problem condoning fornication, which has no constructed ambiguity about it's sinfulness. Also, considering the marriage standards (hetersoexual) of Genesis 2 and Jesus' reaffirmation of it, a homosexual marriage isn't a biblical thing and unless they refrain from sex, they are still therefore committing fornication. It's a sin, no matter what way anyone justifies it.

If I understood her right, the girl who said she went on stage and felt the weight of sin lifted from her seemed to indicate that she afterward felt conviction not for being attracted to other girls, but for ACTING on those desires (as well as acting on her sexual desires with males, too). And this makes perfect sense to me. It is my understanding that a Christian can be attracted to people of the same sex, but it is the acting on those desires (or even lusting after someone) that is sin. When she received the Holy Spirit in that moment, she did not necessarily suddenly start being attracted only to people of the opposite sex. It is like an alcoholic who has been convicted by the Holy Spirit and may still DESIRE to get drunk, but abstain from it because they have that conviction. Similarly, this girl’s attraction to other girls may not necessarily go away, but in a Christian worldview, the attraction in and of itself is not a sin, as long as she is not acting on it or lusting…or telling others that it is not a sin by waving a pride flag around, for example :/ Christians who struggle with same sex attraction can either choose to live a celibate life, or work toward reorientation (which may or may not be successful), and this is not wrong. Difficult, yes. But not wrong. Fellow Christians, what are your thoughts?

[@THELAW360]

I agree. I had this same conversation with a man who was homosexual yet claimed to be Christian. I told him this ultimatum; if your desires are more powerful and you love the flesh more than you love God, then you cannot continue to claim to be a Christian. If you want to continue to call yourself Christian, you must accept that you have acted on your sinful desires, seek forgiveness, and turn from them. Jesus said “go, and sin *no* *more* “. So either fall into your desires and leave the church, or leave the desire and fall into Gods hands

Genesis 9: 8Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, 9“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth-every living thing that came out of the ark. 11And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.” 17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

2 Timothy 2:24-26 - "24 And the Lord’s ministers must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may give them repentance leading to the full knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will."

Also at 13:15 you misrepresent Romans 1:18. The word katecho does not mean suppress. Just the opposite. It means hold. The people are holding the truth in unrighteousness. They know it is wrong but do it anyways. That agrees with the rest of Romans 1. Look up Katecho every time it is used in the Scriptures (19 times). The picture is to grab something and hold it tight. Not to deny or suppress. God bless.

Fantastic presentation of the biblical Gospel in the very beginning of the video. So many so-called “Christian’s” don’t know the Gospel. They don’t understand the grace of God. They don’t understand that to enter heaven, they must come to Christ with empty hands, and that no “good deeds” will have any effect on their salvation. It’s a free gift. The book of Roman’s and Galatians are soooooo clear about Gods grace, and salvation is gained by FAITH IN JESUS WORK ON THE CROSS, and not your own works. Salvation is attained by faith. You go to heaven by your true sincere genuine real faith in Jesus Christ. Thats the best compliment to God you can give, to believe in the Son of God and what he did. Not your own doing. It is this way so no one can brag or boast about their own accomplishments and works toward “goodness” because “good deeds” are like filthy rags to a holy perfect God. Nobody realizes the level of their own sinfulness anymore. Read Galatians and Romans. English Standard Version for an easy-to-read translation.

[@angiew2324]

Yes! It's really sad how misunderstood this is w/in the church. I'm visiting my mom right now & she was taught legalism so we've been talking a lot about this. I'm trying to help her see that if her faith is in Christ, she doesn't have to worry - and that the fear she feels about standing in front of Him shows that she's filled with the Holy Spirit. If she wasn't, she wouldn't care about her sin, it wouldn't bother her at all - but she beats herself up over things that happened anywhere from yesterday to 40 years ago. God has already forgiven her & she _knows_ that, but she won't forgive herself. It breaks my heart, it's partially because of her that I never turned my back on Him completely, not even during my rebellious years. She & my dad are saints compared to me! God put her in my life for this purpose, it is her voice that was always in my head saying "you might be able to get away with things with me & your dad, but God always knows the truth." Which I _hated_ as an older teenager & now I say it to my own kids. Lol She's such a huge inspiration for me, and she planted more seeds than anyone else. If _I_ know how much she loves the Lord, He certainly knows! I just wish she could see it & stop allowing the enemy to scare her so much. She's beginning to get it though, not because of me but because she's studying like never before (you should see her "prayer closet" & the other closet with shelves of Bibles, Bible journaling supplies, notebooks, etc.). She retired from a hospital & now treats studying Scripture like it's a full-time job that she's committed to with a passion. She's still inspiring me now, I hope one day she knows how much - but more importantly, I pray she stops worrying to the point of tears & trusts in her salvation by God's grace through her faith in Christ & His finished work on the cross. Anyway, all of that just to say I agree with you. I'm seriously long-winded tonight. 😂

This one was really sad. I was just like these girls. I had similar conversations with Christians at that age. I remember one time, in the late 1990’s, a friend of mine offered me a free ticket with her to Six Flags, and I went. I was actually a fresh new believer in Jesus, and had just broken up with a boyfriend I had been fornicating with for years. So I was single, and Christian, and I really didn’t know what I believed outside of knowing I deserved hell, and that Jesus had saved me. Anyway, that night at Six Flags, turned out to be a gay and lesbian pride night. I knew this friend of mine was a lesbian, but I didn’t know she was as taking me to a gay event. On the way in, there were a lot of Christian protesters telling us to repent, and I was just like these girls. I was ignorant, and confused. Pray for all of the lost souls who the Lord IS SAVING! You might be very surprised. I am now a 45 year old homeschooling mother. I’ve been blessed with seven children and one grandchild (so far!) Some people might be shocked to know that 25 years ago, I was JUST LIKE these underdressed, know-it-all girls. It breaks my heart to think of how completely lost I was. Christians, when you look at these rude, crass, lewd and lascivious young men and women, PITY THEM! They may be the future Pauls and Women At The Wells!
