Sin is derived from the Hebrew word chata meaning to fail to miss the mark to fail in ones obligations. Religion derived from the Latin religare meaning to bind together much like the tares ready for the flames to consume them. YHWH knew man would fall short of His glory from the start, he told us in the book of Genesis in the genealogy of mankind, Adam meaning man Seth meaning appointed Enosh meaning mortal, Kenan meaning sorrow, Mahalel meaning the blessed God, Jared meaning shall come down, Enoch meaning Teaching Methuselah meaning his death shall bring, Lamehc meaning despairing, Noah meaning comfort, rest. Man's salvation in summary, Man is appointed Mortal sorrow the blessed God shall come down teaching His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest. Who are you to condemn another for missing the mark when you too fall short. Yeshua came to take legalism out of the temple of YHWH you still use it to condemn others, need I remind you of the words of Yeshua, " Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".

You assume that I was condemning others. It is the Holy Spirit who condemns the believer, not me. Nonetheless, we are still to walk in discernment judging right from wrong. My statement is based on Satan's temptation of Eve and on the words of Jesus when he said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” And did not Paul also publicly chastise Peter, his superior, for behaving in a contradicting manner when he would not sit with gentiles in the presence of Jews? If you are pricked because of my words, consider for your own sake the possibility that it is not merely my words but the nudging of the Holy Spirit. @@Avigdor1655

I have some insights to share on this subject. I grew up as a teen bisexual. I loved girls in high school. Then in college I fell in love with a guy. I 'chose' to pursue this path of homosexuality. I never understood drag queens or effeminate men. I just liked guys. I was very romantic and wanted to meet a guy, live together and adopt kids. It never happened. It was a torturous life of seeking what could not be found. Even the men I knew who were married were in open relationships. The men who were into me didn't want kids... just to be forever children. Men are driven by hormones. They can't control their desires. Their desires once fulfilled become mundane and they seek riskier and wilder experiences. Sex devolves into drugs and orgies for the vast majority of gay men. Parents would be horrified if they knew what their gay children were up to. Insecurity , broken parental relationships often drive homosexuality. ITs not just 'born that way'. I witnessed straight acting guys devolve into sissies. Attitudes and vocal inflections are contagous. I realized I was seeking a relationship with a man to fulfill being rejected and abandoned by my father. Two years ago I allowed Christ into my heart. I am ever more happy and peaceful as I cultivate intimacy with him ! My life is radically different now. I am not alone anymore and am in a perfect relationship with HIM. Thats what I was seeking all along. Not gay but to be with and loved by the FATHER. I chose to abstain from all sexual contact. I hadn't had sex for a long time before because of covid so it was easy to abstain and I had pretty much lost trust in gay men. I put a ring on my marriage finger to represent I married Jesus. Not a homosexual gesture - a powerful spiritual one. This was before I ever heard the body of christ referred to as 'the bride'. Within months my attraction to women returned. I was astonished. I'm still attracted to men but I recognize the sin of it and it repulses me into repentance. I want kids, I want a best friend to build a home with. You can't do that if you're gay. Sorry guys. - Getting a surrogate pregnant for $$ is wrong. God wants us to build families FOR HIM. He wants to build his family. Being gay destroys family. They dont have kids. They aren't happy. I lived in NYC, Los Angeles and Miami. I never met one happy gay person. Never. I saw people go crazy from it, become drug addicts, get AIDS and die. I'm going to trust with maximum faith that there is a beautiful young woman out there that will forgive me of my past sins and build a family with me... I might have to wait until after Jacobs trouble... but I know it will happen. Gay is a choice. I learned the hard way. It cost me 35 years of happiness. There is a reason God says not to do it. Listen to him. If you can please pray for me to find the perfect wife and build a family. thank you

I’m not a Christian, but as a gay man I find this topic interesting because it impinges on my life in a society whose laws and morality is based on Christian doctrine. I too read this article, and had similar reservations about the author’s conclusions. However, while I agree with much of what you say, I’m not sure that you treated the author totally fairly. You talked about how the older foreign language bible translations were worded to speak to people of that period (17th century eg al) but you neglected to talk about the historical perspective of the original ancient texts. How would Jews alive when Leviticus was written have understood the text? What would Paul’s audience have thought he was referring to? While this probably wouldn’t alter your overall reading of the texts, and the overarching teachings on sexual ethics, there is an argument that the writers may well have had in mind not simply same sex sexual activity, but that which occurred (not uncommonly I understand) within the practices of some pagan worship of the time. As I said, I don’t think that it would have fundamentally changed your conclusions, but it would have been interesting to hear that included and discussed. Personally, I feel convinced that if you believe that the bible truly represents God’s commands etc then ( like you) I think the basic message is pretty clear to Christians. However, as a nonbeliever, looking at it from the outside, I feel that the Pauline epistles are given too much weight, and are at times pretty uncomfortable. I, of course, don’t accept that they are divinely inspired. I really appreciate your basic message though, that if same sex activity is a sin it is no worse or better than many other sins that Christians commit. Treating homosexuals unkindly is inherently unchristian - if I understand the teachings of Jesus correctly.

I have had alot out of marriage sexual relationship growing up. And look with lustful eyes at beautiful women. And in today's time that's so easy to get sucked into.. impossible not to at today's times even as a married man now... Just being honest. And i pray to God regularly to help me. To keep me on the straight and narrow path to Jesus. To help me understand and to fight against those type of sins.. But it's still sinning agaisnt God. I just pray to Jesus every day to mold me and make me better every morning I wake up. To honor him and keep moving forward in my personal relationship with Him. To realize every day is a true blessing and to not take it for granted. To allow the Holly Spirit to guide me thru this world. To do and be the best I can. Making as many as I can see God in the blessing in my life. To share what jesus has done for me. And the blessings he provides my family. God is Good.

Regarding the Biblical diet restrictions; I DO TRUST that those foods that the Bible states are acceptable for the Jews to consume, WILL be highly nutritious and safe for humanity. They'll be the BEST foods you could possibly choose if given the choice. In like manner, the items forbidden for consumption may well have risks or health damage potential in at least some situations or environments. As examples: Pigs. Pigs are offal consumers. They eat garbage. That just may become a human health risk depending on the particular garbage and it's load of contaminates, toxins and dangerous microbes and diseases. Pigs also do not sweat. They instead store all of the toxins that they consume in their FAT. So again depending on their consumed levels of toxins such as pesticides, poisons, chemicals, antibiotics, hormones etc etc, you could have a human health risk. Ruminant animals. Quite likely designed by God to BE specifically food for humanity. With the fourth stomach they are VERY good at neutralizing consumed toxins. (Genuine) science tells us that they are THE most nutritious, healthy and safe food that we can consume today. Bats. Science also shows us the dangers of bat consumption, specifically animal diseases moving over into the human population. This also applies to many other animals that were not designed specifically to be food for humanity. God as the designer would know of this danger of course, and probably another 10,000 issues about which we currently have no idea. Remember that EVERYTHING that God requires of us or of his chosen people specifically, IS in our own best interest. And that still applies whether or not he had more important reasons for the particular requirement. Personally I'm OFF the damaging SAD diet for some years now, and my health has been steadily improving ever since, as the decades of dietary damage is repaired. I recently went Kosha, which was of almost zero inconvenience. In my case I only had to give up eating bacon, pork, prawns and shellfish. I did this for safety. Firstly I'm by no means absolutely sure that modern Christians are actually free of those Old Testament food requirements/guidelines, and secondly as mentioned above, we can all be VERY sure that the foods Biblically listed as acceptable will provide a diet that God would and has already condoned, for the sustenance of the human body. The human body is a hugely complex biological machine, a great gift to us from God. It is our duty to look after it appropriately, including it's feeding and maintenance, and as per this video, the correct and appropriate use of all it's many subsystems. Sexuality is a very important even critical body subsystem, that God takes very seriously indeed. We should too. God Bless.

What is not addressed is how the original words in the original language were used in the original context. What examples of the use of these words are found outside of the scriptures? And what do those examples refer to? What practices of the original timeframe where common, that readers would have been aware of? Are those practices a direct correlation to practices of today, or are they enough different so as to suggest an alternative meaning to these words? In other words, what would the original readers have understood the meaning to be? Perhaps they would have immediately made a connection to certain cultural practices of their own day. This is most important with the New Testament passages. The Leviticus passages are part of a larger group of laws, many of which Christians ignore, such as the food laws. It seems arbitrary to ignore some laws, while adhering to other laws.

In regard to section 3, question 4 of your LGBTQ statement which reads, "Same-sex attraction is not sinful. It is not the temptation but the behavior that is deemed sinful in Scripture.". I'd like to push back a little. There is two types of temptations. One is merely the offer of something sinful, but with nothing within the person which desires sin. The second is the internal temptation, where the person who's offered sin, finds a desire to sin. I would say Jesus is an, the example of the former. Jesus was tempted, but had no desire within to sin. The latter is our experience. We are offered and we are tempted, we do find something within which desires sin. And this, I'd argue, is sinful. That is, it is sinful to desire sin: regardless whether we give in or not. And so, for the one who is same sex attracted, that attraction comes from sin within and is evidence itself of either their fallen nature (not saved) or their old man (saved). Now, I want to be clear, for the Christian, this old man is not of the new creation the Christian is, so the Christian can have confidence in the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Nonetheless, as I said those desires come from sin. For the non Christian, however, I think they must understand that this desire is utterly sinful because it in fact comes from their sinful nature which is all they have. They are not new creations. Anyway, thats my two cents. Thank you for your time and your hard work in making these videos.

However, sanctification is a process, and as is clear in 1st John, Christians continue to sin. But lets be clear, as for judging, we are commanded to judge. In fact Paul tells us, " Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?'. And we're supposed to judge those inside the church. Furthermore, to call sin anything other than sin, is to be unloving and lie. I hear often this refrain that homosexuality is an easy sin to point out and those who do are probably hypocrites. But I wonder would you say that about pedophilia? Sin is serious, whether that sin is lying, or murder. The minimizing of one sin is the minimizing of all sin, because the same God who said honor your father and your mother, said homosexuality is an abomination. But that's not all, we are being told homosexuality is not a sin and should be celebrated by the church, otherwise you're a hateful etc.. And as a sexual sin, it is a sin against ones own body. No, homosexuality is not the worse of sins, but it is a sin, and the Bride of Christ must resist the insidious Finney influenced tendency to believe appeasement is love and wins souls. No, this shall not, indeed it cannot win souls. Preach the Law undiluted and the Gospel unashamed, and know and believe, this is love.

Very simple, if a translation bothers me, I will do two things. 1. I will ask the Holy Spirit for help. 2. I will study the original text. Let’s take for instance 1Ti 4:10 in which Paul writes: … we put our trust in God Savior of all men. Great, but then it goes on ‘especially of those that believe’. That to me is troublesome as it clearly does not line up with all men before. The 4 words ‘of those that believe’ is only 1 word in Greek’ pistos’ an adjective meaning faithful. The word especially is the word malista, an adverb meaning: above all. Now read again. God Savior of all men above all faithful. Do you think it talks of God as faithful or men? Now we can trust Him, because He never breaks his promise, He is the Faithful One! I found the same type of misunderstanding when it comes to sin ( = missing the mark, or unbelief). Idolatry, adultery, ( sexual) immorality etc. Nothing to do with natural things, all to do with the unity in the spirit: husband and wife: Head and Body : the Christ!

Great video! Another thing I've noticed is that many modern biblical scholars are under the presumption that they somehow know better than the Church Fathers of the first millennium that read the Scriptures and many of which natively spoke Greek themselves; that the Church Fathers are somehow backward, and now thousands of years after them it is suddenly revealed that X word actually means Y. You'd think that the very same theologians who could read the original texts directly would catch on to what progressive scholars are asserting and advocate for a more "liberal" Christianity (for the lack of a better word), yet that was never the case. God bless!

"Romans 1:24-29 NKJV "Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, [25] who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. [26] For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. [27] Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers" I think God has been very clear without using the word homosexual. Don't try to change the word to suite the world.

@TheBiblicalRoots7 ай бұрын
Hi, Radostin. I can tell you're trying to make a point, but the point isn't clear. Salvation does not come by keeping the law, but through faith in Jesus (Gal. 2:16). And belief in Jesus does not free us from the obligation to obey God's commands that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). So if we want to put a classification of "law" on it, Christians follow the Law of Christ. Blessings, Rob

Good video up until you said God does stuff arbitrarily. Just because we don't understand something doesn't make it arbitrary. The definition of arbitrary is: based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. I may not know God's reasoning behind the dietary laws, but I highly doubt they are arbitrary. Even with a small amount of study, you would discover that the things God didn't consider as food were designed differently than the things He called clean. A few things that separate the unclean things is that many of them eat blood or their own feces. Coprophagia is how some animals fully digest certain things, instead of ruminating (chewing the cud). Some carry a toxic load and has to be cooked to a certain temp just to kill the bacteria and parasites, such as pork. While this may not have been God's reasoning, I don't think He does anything without reason. If those laws were given to God's people to set them apart to Him, why would we (as God's people) be held to a different standard? Unless you believe that the laws were for salvation in the OT. God hates unjust weights and balances though.
@TheBiblicalRoots11 ай бұрын
I agree! While we may not understand why God chose that specific set of qualifications (cloven hooves, chews cud), we can be sure He had a reason. So from a human perspective, the list of prohibited animals is arbitrary. And as I've mentioned in other videos, I believe that's what makes it so powerful. It left the ancient Israelites with only one answer when asked why they avoided those _specific_ foods: because Yahweh said so. Blessings! Rob

The beginning of sin, the mystery of iniquity began in Eden, Genesis 4:8-15-24. (Actually it began with Lucifer, but since he would never receive forgiveness, God began to impute His righteosness as soon as man sinned, and made a way out for him by the blood of the sinless Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, but that lives, sitted on the throne of God in the heavenly places. Ezekiel 28:16, and promptly judged verses 17-19, John 16:11, while man got a 1000 years deferred punishment, which was paid for by the sinless blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and the complete man, on the cross of Calvary. ) This sin couldn't readily be judged simply because there was no preceding law about being one's brother's keeper that was broken. (Thus, the whole system was destroyed by the flood, and the laws started with that Genesis 9:5-6, until finally judged and finished on the cross John 19:30) And in verse 15, a precedent was laid down for the time it would take to judge sin, 70x7 or 490 years. That generation was wiped out by the flood, but the precept remained: sin shall be avenged seventy and seven fold. (Matthew 18:21-23). This was the standard by which Israel also judged, as they also had to spend 70 sabbath years ( or 70x7= 490 years), in exile, outside of the promised land. When it was the 69th week year Daniel prayed to God, and fasted to remind Him of the imminent due date of the return of God's people to their promised land; but the sin of the Amorite was not yet full, Genesis 15:16, also, Israel was still in rebellion towards God, and the land cannot sustain rebellion- it was Holy! So, the Messiah had to come and make a way for grace and justification, and righteousness of God to be imputed, so Israel can get back their monarchy, through the house of David, and back to the kingdom of God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, as the Son of God, and the Son of man -the promised Son of David, the king of Israel to order His Kingdom Isaiah 9:6; who would ascend His throne as God had promised him. Romans 1:3; Acts 2:30, and come to bring them back to God, Jeremiah 16:16a; Luke 19:10; Matthew 10:5. Instead, they rejected and killed Him. Thus, from then onwards, the way to God was opened to whosoever would come to Him by grace through the shedding of His blood, by grace through faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection. They were given the adoption of sons and daughters into the kingdom, which hitherto, they were not permitted Ephesians 2:13; John 1:11-14, becoming heirs and joint heirs of God and the Abrahamic covenanted promises an blessing (Genesis 25:6- the representatives of his other children by Hagar and Keturah, the Kings of the East, could now access and partake of the blessing, and they showed their allegiance and faith, by worshipping Jesus Christ, as a Child!) Jesus Christ gave His life for all who would simply believe in Him as Lord and Savior, in order to keep them from the wrath of God that will be unleashed upon the Amorite, until the end. Isaiah 63:18; Daniel 8:13; Zechariah 12:3; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2. And eventually, they will be rescued at the second coming of Christ Luke 21:13; Zechariah 14. He finished the work of salvation of the soul of man John 19:30 and this continues the "acceptable year of the Lord" which began as He took the sealed book of Daniel, 12:4, from God, as the Lamb of God, who alone is Worthy, and opened the seals Revelation 5, and fulfilled the first of the three part of Isaiah 61:2, in Luke 4:16-21, and He SHUT it again. This will run through this dispensation of preaching of the gospel of grace, (which ended the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom, which ended with the stoning of Stephen) by faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and He will return to gather His saints from the world, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15; and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, with exceeding joy, Jude 24; with victory over sin, devil, death, hell and eternal damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone Isaiah 66:24. The second dispensation is nearly upon us, at this time Isaiah 63:4, which will usher in the tribulation period when the 70th and last year will be ushered in to finish all transgressions! Daniel 9:24. ( As the Messiah has become the sacrifice for sin, and was dead, buried and rose again from the dead! His shed blood sprinkled on the heavenly mercy seat for propitiation for sins for all who would go to God by and through Him, simply by faith! Ephesians 2:8). Then, the Lord will return the second time, complete with His body, as a new Creature resting upon the Mount of Olives Zechariah 14, to make a way of escape for the remnants of Israel Matthew 24:31. Then the battle of armageddon will ensue, and it will end up in total obliteration of this earth. Isaiah 24; Joel chapters 2 and 3, Jeremiah chapters 1-11...; 1 Peter 3 etc. This is the fullness and end, and judgment of the sin of the Amorite! Matthew 18:21-22; Psalm 75:8; 73:3-17. Then the new heaven and earth will be created after the conclusion of the millennium- to mark the expiration date of sin and death, like it was back in Eden. Now man will live out the 1000 year curse of death Isaiah 65, (Genesis 5). Then history will repeat itself when everything reaches full circle- the serpent will be released once again, Revelation 20:1-6, to tempt man as he did with Adam and Eve, those who follow him will get totally judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, together with hell, death, the antichrist, false prophets and all whose portion is with them Isaiah 66:24. Revelation chapters 19-22. God has perfected the end from the beginning. But as it is written-"My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge " Hosea 4:6, so, "With all thine getting, get understanding " Proverbs 4:7; Luke 24:45. Be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, and abide in the fold, John 10, until He returns as promised, to take up His purchased possession! John 14:26; Ephesians chapters 1-2! Then He will set up His kingdom! Isaiah 9:6! Be encouraged!

Pork can cause trichinosis and shellfish can cause gout, these illness are easily linked to diet in real time. The Mosaic covenant was a codified expression of how the people understood God's designing of the world.

You have written on the topic several times, but it appears that you removed my response to your article. If so, why? It's true that God's word consistently categorizes man lying with man as sin, but you forgot to mention that both men have committed a detestable act (Leviticus 20:13), and he follows with: They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. You might ask the question, should we stone them to death? I will respond to that question with the following: Yeshua took the curse of the law to the cross because of God's love toward humanity, but in the day of judgment, the curse and the consequences of that abominable act will take place when they are cast into the lake of fire. It has nothing to do with them being unworthy of God's love; it has to do with them not wanting to do anything with God, and because of this, God has turned them over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28), which you did not mention. If God gave them up, don't bother going out there to get them; only God can get them. Sodom and Gomorrah make this clear. God pulled out Lot and his family; not one homosexual did he pull out when he allowed judgment to fall upon them. Again, God has rejected them for their rejection of Him and for their continual embracement and indulgence in their godless depravity. Robert Solberg, do you know why Yeshua did not condemn her? For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:17). Yeshua told a man to rise, take up his bed, and walk, and when he found him in the temple, he said unto him, behold, thou are made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you. Another way of saying it to the adulteress woman: woman, neither do I condemn you because I did not come to condemn the world, but that the world through me might be saved, but go sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you. Robert wrote me this in the past: To a holy God, all sin is an abomination. Homosexual behavior is no more sinful than any other sexual sin. Leviticus 18:26-27 tells us that all sexual sins are an abomination. An "abomination" does not mean "super sin." Do you know what else is an abomination to God? Then he throws the question: Do you believe that homosexual behavior is an unforgivable sin? This was my response: You said, to a holy God, all sin is an abomination. What you are doing is trying to rationalize the statements you made on the topic of homosexuality. Now I can see why you said in this video that you have homosextual friends, making it appear as if you socialize with them. Do you? Now, let's get into Leviticus 18. Did you read the entire chapter, or did you just pull a verse out of context to suit the view you hold, which is based on an opinion? In Leviticus 18, God is telling the people not to conduct their lives as the cannanites (Gentiles) who lived an abominable life before God. What were they doing that God called an abomination? They were performing abnormal and unacceptable sexual behaviors within families, which is not only nauseating to God but goes against God's design of a family. Another thing: why don't you read verses 22 and 23 again? God directly states that homosexuality is an abomination, and lying with a beast is confusion (though an abomination as well). What makes it an abomination is that it goes against what God intended for mankind. These abominations were reprehensible, which is why God put an immediate curse of death on those laws. Here are the statements that Robert Solberg made in his article: 1) Attending the wedding is not a requirement for showing love to the couple, and he added that he can show them love as human beings in many other ways. ---- Robert Solberg made it clear from his own mouth that he recognizes them as a couple. 2) He said that he decided to respectfully decline their invitation and simply tell them, “It was lovely to have been invited. I love you both! ---- Robert Solberg found it lovely that he was invited. Was it lovely, Robert Solberg, that you were invited? 3) He said that he privately committed to praying for the couple daily up until the date of the wedding. ---- Again, he addresses them as a couple. Robert Solberg, your response should have been direct. Yeshua made it clear and was direct to the adultress, which was why he said, go sin no more, letting her know of the sin she was committing. Robert Solberg stated three reasons he wanted to attend the wedding: he liked the couple as people, he wanted to make those around me (who wanted me to go) happy, and it would just feel good to be there, hug the couple, and celebrate with them on what is surely an exciting new chapter in their lives. That said, personal experience over the years has made me keenly aware that what feels right is not always right. Sometimes (oftentimes?) the right thing is the hard thing. ---- His statement that what feels right is not always right is a true statement, but as a believer, there should not have been any reasons for him to think about it if he knew the scriptures. To my recollection, he had to pray for this decision, knowing that the scripture is clear. . Robert Solberg, make it clear that these friends of yours are living in a sinful nature, that it is detestable and an abomination to God, and that you are glad that you did not partake of it. Read his entire article.

Excellent explanation thanks Rob. I personally find offence at the misuse of the word 'gay' and the misuse of the 🌈 as they soften what God calls an abomination. Simply call yourself a homosexual if that is what floats your boat. Sorry but homosexual can not be an adjective before the word Christian anymore than we could have a sinful Yeshua. As John 6:44 explains . . . God draws his people to himself and then the work of Christ on the cross (atonement) brings the beginning of sanctification. Sanctification cannot co-exist in the heart of a practicing homosexual. But God can draw that man to himself revealing the sin and the man can be forgiven and justified through the blood of the Lamb but only if repentance happens and the sin stops.

Why are you interchanging the Word food for Animal / beast ?

Now in verse 5:32 he writes that this is a great mystery: he is actually talking about Christ and the Church. The Husband is The Head (the Lord Jesus), The Wife is the Body, the Church, that is all of us. Together: the marriage: the Christ. This is called relation. Complete opposite of Babylon and Jezebel: the woman ( the harlot) is the head sitting on top of the body ( male part, the beast). This is called Religion. I know this hard to understand, but once we understand that all are created male and female, it becomes easier.

But if Martin Luther interpreted it as pedastry its diificult to comprehend how your conclusion is otherwise - you say your translation tool uses the best greek texts available. Is the source of these texts based upon the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus of the fourth century? This text, publicized by Westcott and Hort, is also known as the Alexandrian Text. It originated in Egypt and has been massaged by "higher critics" down through the ages. Sometimes described also as 'minority texts'. Are the texts employed by the interpretation tool derived from this source ? Or - is the source of text employed by translation/interpreter tool derived from the Textus Receptus "Received Text" or "Byzantine Text" (also termed "Syrian", "Antioch", or Koine text) which was used in the King James Version. Textus Receptus is the preferred source of Greek manuscripts preferred by Protestants as the authorative sources for Bible tranlations up to the mid 19th century. Which source of Greek texts is your translator/interpreter tool using? This is a very relevant question

Hello, Turquoise! As it happens, both the Textus Receptus (www.logosapostolic.org/bibles/textus_receptus/1_corinthians/fcor06.htm) and the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece (diebibel.ibep-prod.com/en/bible/NA28/1CO.6) use the same word in 1 Corinthians 6:9: ἀρσενοκοῖται. The discrepancy isn't about the difference between Greek manuscripts, but rather the difference between 16th-century German and 21st-century English. And not just the linguistic differences, but differences in culture as well. We see big changes even in the English language. Today a “nice” person is one who is pleasant to be around. But that word started as an insult. The Middle English equivalent of "nice" meant stupid or ignorant. Or perhaps more to the point, we might note how the English word "gay" has changed in meaning. It is no longer used to mean carefree and happy. So I think the beg question is exactly what knabenshänder meant in 16th century Germany! Blessings, Rob

I hear you, Fyn, but I have to disagree. While Jesus did not mention homosexuality by name, He did condemn sexual immorality (Matt. 5:32, 15:19, 19:9; Mark 7:21; John 8:4-11, etc.), which, as we talked about in this video, is defined in the Hebrew Scriptures as any sexual activity outside of the covenant of marriage. He also affirmed that the covenant of marriage was between one man and one woman (Matt. 19:5; Mark 10:7). So I don't believe it's biblical or reasonable to conclude that Jesus approves of homosexual activity. And, as was also mentioned in the video, He also would not approve of mistreating or persecuting anyone, gay or straight. Blessings, Rob

You are right in that you write "in your opinion," but that may not be God's opinion at all. 🙃

@@micahwatz1148 I don't think we are "under" anything. If a doctor offered you medicine or a vaccination would you say you were "under" it in such a negative and ungrateful way? No, most people appreciate advice from a helpful beneficial authority. And so it is with God's advice. To spurn what He says (in quite strong terms, with words such as "abomination", which therefore should not be taken lightly) as being simply nothing, for only certain ethnicities, or to be ignored by those who claim to believe in the Word of God and the All-knowing Creator is quite preposterous, if not an insult. That would be like spurning Christ's salvation. We don't do that! 🤯 When God gives us things for our benefit we should be thankful, not dissmissive of Him. He supplied the Sabbath (for man, according to Yeshua) to give us prescribed physical rest for all, whether servant, family, non-Israelite ("ger" or "stranger") and even animals all very fairly. He warns us not to eat unclean animals and sewage-imbibing shellfish and other creatures, which the Gentile Noah, before any law, covenants or Israel existed, fully knew the clear distinctions of when the clean and unclean animals were boarded on the Ark in differing numbers, 14 animals of clean as they were permitted by God for food and thus would be needed in larger numbers, whilst the unclean but ecologically necessary scavengers boarded in twos. Even 15 years after the resurrection, Peter as head of the Church refused three times to rise up and eat unclean animals and God did not chastise Him for disobedience, but rather He remained obedient to God's law in this test just as Noah by obedience found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Instead, Peter later "wondered about the meaning of the vision" and accepted unclean Gentiles, as He would have viewed them, into the Jewish Church. He did not start eating horses and monkeys! What are YOU saying about food laws, over and above what God Himself says in His Word? Do you think that God has changed His mind without changing the biology or scavenging diets of these creatures that God created for cleaning the planet, but not for humans to eat? I never heard Yeshua say anything about changing God's law and for men to eat "treif". His silence alone indicates that no such change took place and unclean is still unclean. 🐖🦐

Your argument does not hold water when the German, Swedish and Norwegian Bible all agree that it is young boy and boy molester/abuser is condemned instead of man with man in Leviticus 18:22 and 1 Corinthians 6:9 respectively. Moreover, it is absurd in contextualization when you suggest that in these countries and during that era only sex with young boy or boy molesters/abusers were relevant and understood when romantic love between man and man had existed since ancient time. Something is not right here!

Hello, Whaley! Actually, the question we would need to explore is what the German word "knabenschänder" meant to a 16th-century German. That lies at the heart of this research, and unfortunately, I barely know any German, much less Ye Olde German! More importantly, though, there are six passages in the Bible that specifically discuss homosexuality, and it's very clear they are talking about male sexual activity, not abuse or molestation of young boys. (Of course, the Bible certainly condemns the abuse or molestation of anyone!) Blessings, RLS

Leviticus 18:22 and 1Corinthians 6:9 like the rest of the remaining clobber passages which are either mistranslated or taken out of context or both are frequently used by homophobes like you to bash gay men.

Leviticus 18:22 makes it clear that it is an abomination for a man to lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is an abomination. The word "abomination" means something greatly disliked or abhorred, and in Romans 1, for God to say that God gave them over to a reprobate mind, appears to reflect the word "anathema," one that is cursed or damned. I heard your entire video, and it appears that you are trying to please both sides or want to find favor from both sides. In addition, you were speaking as a way of trying to prevent yourself from offending gay people. Robert Solberg, would you please answer the following questions so that everyone knows what you really believe or truly stand on this topic? 1) A man lying with a man-is it an abomination to God? 2) Can a man be a believer and continue to live a life that God calls an abomination? 3) Will a man enter the kingdom of God if he is indulging in this abominable act? 4) Are your gay couple friends indulging in sinful behavior? 5) Will you make it clear in the comment section of this board that you denounce this abomination act? 6) Will you denounce all gay organizations? You said that you know gay couples who are kind and loving people, so why should it matter that they're the same gender? So, it should matter because God called it an abomination, and we need to call it what God called it. Let me also mention that you should read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and look at how God handles this abomination. This way, you can make it clear without trying to please both sides. When I first read your article, I made it clear to someone that you were going to post such a video.

What you are quoting in directly is Mahatma Gandhi, hate the sin but love the sinner. God is not going to punish sin, he is going to punish the sinner, Read Roman 1:32, Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. So, the question that you might have, how are you approving them their behavior? Think for a minute, and if you can come up with an answer ask your theologian friends, maybe they might know.

Actually, Luis, we have *_all_* fallen short of the glory of God and are sinners who deserve the wages of sin, which is death. Thankfully, are also *_all_* given the opportunity to cry out to Jesus in faith and find life. "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned...For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ...so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

I am going to get a lot of flack for this however I have prayed long and hard about it and am very passionate about symbolism and authorized ritual and symbol. So...imo its time to open our arms and embrace those who feel they are naturally gay to have union authorized by our faith. It doesn't need to be called "marriage" . It could have been called something else, however because it is law now, should we really be that judgemental. Are we that much holier in our reasoning? I know what the bible says however context context context. Most of the time logic and reason and parental love harmonize with Christian reasoning except in this case. For instance in the time that same sex was commented upon their was not a community supportive family unit for the couple to participate in worship..now there is. context folks. Do we really expect a same sex attracted individual to be abstinent their entire life? If they do not unite will they not fail to control their expression and this lead to many experimental non committal and non religious encounters? Context...just some thoughts. I had a very hard time with this because there are very specific scriptures that seem to condemn this behaviour, but in the context of a Christian faith practicing family..should we really judge to the level of demanding chastity for life to have the mercy of Christ and fellowship. Time to understand "and I will write my law upon their hearts" imo. And yes..I know the argument that it does not square with natural law..I get it and yes I know our bias abhors it but should we not allow logic reason and charity to rule our "feelings". Just some thoughts.Imagine if you were born this way...just imagine, and wanted to be part of the fellowship. Do unto others as you would have done unto you...imo. I will throw a wrench into the works. Jehovah in the OT presents himself as a polygamist...twice in allegory ( I thought only one man and one woman concepts were in there? lol). If you don't believe me you are welcome to ask for the references. Context folks. I only mention this to show..context matters. It requires one to put the spirit of the law above the literal meaning. There are other instances this matters as well. Spirit above Letter. Should you "obey" an abusive boss or ruler? Should women be quiet in the church? should women cover their heads? all this is in there also folks but we use logic reason and truth in our current context, (which is spiritual) to address these things.btw I am a straight Christian. I think its time to put context into the principals of our faith that reveal the love of Christ behind that literal translation, in context. Allow others for Christ to lead them personally in this explaining the word and letting the spirit guide them personally , as he should do each believer..even you. What if someone else insists you listen to your abusive boss, or tells your wife to cover her head and be quiet in church...hmmm. I bet you start arguing context then. btw having said all this, I respect and value this teacher highly..no joke.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Peter. I completely disagree with what you're saying here, but I appreciate you adding to the conversation. In our modern culture, sexuality is an area where obedience to God can become very uncomfortable. It carries a high price tag for many of us. God’s sexual ethic doesn’t make sense to many modern people, even including some Christians. And for those who don’t follow God, the answer “because God says so” seems meaningless. So this becomes a critical decision point in the walking out of our faith. When God’s Word and modern society disagree on an issue, who are we going to follow? Blessings, Rob

Without context understanding of obedience can err. For instance the law of circumcision, without the context of the NT gentiles still need to be circumcised,without the context of culture, one can not determine the "why" of a law. The "why" can change in another context. This is why the Spirit's authority within is the ultimate "law". and the heart is what is ultimately good or evil. Without context every non baptized individual in the world is not saved etc etc. Context matters and if one doesn't get that, they have to learn it before they can teach effectively or advise imo. No book, no man, no religion has authority over God's spirit within if he seeks earnestly to follow Yeshua imo especially no man's understanding, not even his own because understanding can be flawed but the gift of the Holy Ghost can never be "and I will write my law upon their hearts"@@AviViljoen Now i am not saying I know I am right, I am saying we do not have the authority to "know" for others. We can have a strong opinion or even revelation but only God can designate an authority and a book speaks to the one who reads it and not thru a clutter of others opinions. I may be wrong on this one, but its ot of study and prayer..I could be wrong. Thank the Lord I am not mankind's judge, but he who can read a mans heart perfectly is. I am simply empathizing with those I don't understand as if they were me, and withholding condemnation without knowing the context. The Lord will certainly take into account each mans understanding to their own conscience.

@@peterhook2258 Obedience to the Holy Spirit - and to God's law - is exactly what I'm talking about. For clarity: circumcision is OT law, and not applicable here, because I'm Christian and not Jewish. Also, I never mentioned the law. I mentioned obedience. If you remain obedient to God, you will know that you are called to holiness. Being tolerant of disobedience and perversion is contrary to God's will. It has nothing to do with context. One point that we can agree on, is the authority of God's Holy Spirit in all things.

Abuse of sexuality. Having come from a generation in the 60s where the tv turned off at midnight, men’s magazines only displayed the top of women nude, it show how much in the WEST we focus on sex. I heard in Mexico, there was a week long sex festival. Compare to AA (Alcoholic Anonymous), if you go, don’t do the steps or fellowship continue drinking and not willing to change, then I guess you can be a practicing homosexual Christian and sure, you rather believe God made you that way then, your choice.

God is omniscient. He knows everything. He prepared a body for His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come and feel in the flesh, all what man is going through, while He Himself remains sinless, meaning, He doesn't indulge in sin. So, He eventually was condemned as a sinner- study Mark 14:51, the story of the naked young man. That was the reason Jesus's sweat were like drops of blood, when He got to the last sin He had to deal with that would condemn Him to shame, torture and consequently, a cursed death on the cross- simply because He was set up in the middle of the night, as He prayed, in the garden of Gethsemane, to be doing stuff the laws condemned with penalty of death, by stoning, but was cranked up to become dead on the cross. Judas kissed him, not a peck in the cheek but a full blown kiss, in order to set him up, but he didn't know his act was just a distraction, the people that hired him, already prepared a worse scenario- using the young guy that fled into the night naked. Jesus Christ refused to tattle on him, nor did he ask them to go get him to speak for him, because He came for the very reason, to die for the undeserved, who, if and when they come to this realization, would immediately repent and accept the cleansing power of the blood that bought them. He even became their high Priest, who is touched by the feeling of their infirmity, understanding where they come from, but hoping they will come to Him and cast it all on Him, and take His Rest! He already made that call!!! Will you answer, will you imagine what they must have done to him, with such a charge, in that day and age? All just to make atonement for every sin conceivable, including what you're struggling with at this moment! Give it all to Him! Being mad at the preacher will not assuage your guilt and self- condemnation, and self torture and self hatred and self judgment. He already did it all- for YOU!!! Which of these religious leaders who abbet them ever promised to pray to God for them. How can the blind lead the blind? Anyone that has encountered God by the preaching of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and still remain unconcerned and unrepentant, has already forfeited his mercy, and grace that bought him from the devil, who has the power of sickness, afflictions, terror, oppression, death and the grave. No escaping him. Let the love of God for you, in Christ Jesus, constrain you to listen, receive, accept, confess, believe and abide in His love, justification from all your sins, past, present and future, And live the new life purchased by the shedding of His blood, and by imputting God's righteousness that declared you "faultless, blameless ", before the presence of God, with whom you have to give an account, whether you like it or not! No excuses on that day, for God will definitely be Just and Righteous when He metes out judgment, and all mouths will be quiet!

Peter drew his sword because Jesus Christ has fallen into the carefully laid snare to disparage His Holiness. But he eventually fled with the others because of the outcome of the allegations- they had caught Jesus Christ red handed with a naked young man who allegedly fled naked in the middle of the night and all alone with Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ had asked His Father, if there was another way to go to the cross, instead of this, but, He truly came to die for sinners, including those that defile themselves with mankind, changing the creation of God and manipulating the very essence of their being! That's who He died for! He included everyone, but they would rather remain ignorant, so as to continue in their pernicious ways. No one has any excuses, no matter who they are. So, search the scriptures. John 5:39. The bible is the textbook for the examination that will be administered soon, the answers are already made manifest, if anyone fails, he or she only has themselves to blame. God will be righteous when He Judges, and every mouth will be quiet! Romans 3:19; Acts 17:31; Psalm 19:36; 51:4b. No excuses!
