Good Reasons To Be Gay | Pr. Ron Kelly

[@lorainegraham-hill7809]

Come as you are but don't stay as you are!!!

[@Sabby899-qp1dw]

I think you miss understand. The only person you need to worry about is God....... not your family. Not your church. If you don't read the bible. And take every word for what is.... how do you know what Gods word is?????? Being Gay is a sin. But if i look at my life and i am selfish, prideful, arrogant, love myself more than others. That is just as bad. Do we put Gods word first? Do we care? Do we even ask what Gods will is? Because obedience is the test for heaven, not do as i wish and God will save me even if i transgress all the laws. We can only change by asking the holy spirit to change our life. Ron Kellys sermon was Spot on.

[@adrianscoggin7212]

​@Sabby899-qp1dw wrong, we don't ask the Holy Spirit to change us, we ask God and Jesus to SEND the Holy Spirit to us so that we may know the word, and will of God and will allow GOD to change us through his Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not to be asked anything lest we be worshipping it. We are only to worship the Father and the Son. Paul in all his letter nowhere in the beginnings or endings of his letters to the churches from Roman's to Hebrews, nor James or any other apostle, give thanks and praise to anyone but the Father and the Son. Not the holy spirit. We are to ask the Father and the Son for their Holy Spirit. The Trinity is not biblical.

This is by far the most Divine Message I've heard in my adult life as a Seventh day Adventist that needs addresing! My heart has become very discouraged with the direction our church has taken not addressing issues with times which we are living! Im rather taken back by some comments slamming the title which is Certainly by Divine Appt to reach that One person God desires to capture! God Bless You Pastor!

[@peterearle8987]

Dear Pastor Kelly...from a South Australian viewer...I have greatly appreciated your messages for a long time now, but I would love to hear more Spirit of Prophesy support during your sermons. I do understand the point of your message, but Inspiration reminds us, “Sin is an intruder, for whose presence no reason can be given. It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it is to defend it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause be shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin.” So then, I understand this statement to be true...there are NO good reasons for being gay...NONE whatsoever.

[@blessed7645]

@peterearle...did you listen to the sermon? I don't get that impression 🙈🙈

you must be one of those people who review a book on Amazon based solely on its cover picture. Unlike you, I discliplined myself and listened to it in its entirety. At no point did he excuse the sin. He defined it. He explained its root causes. He gave real life examples of people who got victory - testimonies. And finally he gave a solution: there's power in the blood of Jesus.

[@edmonde22]

Pastor, with all my due respect, the title of your sermon is confusing and sounds gaslithing. First, you failed to quote bible verses that validate your choice of the title. You might not realize that you left doors for your good philosophy to be misinterpreted by either groups. Secondly, Pastor, Romans 1: 21-27 is too clear. The true cause of this type of sin is idolatry. The bible is clear on how to deal with idolatry and its fruits within ourselves 1 Corinth 5: 11-13. I understanding you want to preach love and understanding, but your approach can bring forth dangerous fallacies especially to your youth. The devil has been very good at that... . There re so many reason why God ask us to be strict in that particular matter. It is devious, contagious, subtle, but dangerously defiling and difficult to be eradicated once you start contemplating compromise. Please Pastor, present the bible instead of your own reasoning. Be straight to the point

[@mrsr3195]

I agree

[@freeradical6831]

Only by the Word of God: ". . . if they speak not according to this thing, there is no light in them." Be like the Bereans is my plea. Seek for yourself. No pastor, however lofty he may be, should be your guide. There is only ONE moral compass.

[@brendadegale4578]

I accept that we should treat our fellowman with love whoever they are as Jesus did without prejudice but he didn't say that they had a reason to be who they were. We all have to deal with temptation and sin . For axample if a person is tempted to steal and he stole and then said he stole because of what he's been through rejection etc. The courts would not accept that argument. Neither Jesus that's why he told the woman that was in adultery to go and sin no more.

[@DebraMoore-o3x]

The court at times grant leniency based of the fact that it's the person's first conviction. you state that Jesus also "would not accept the argument" but you also state that "He told the woman that was in adultery to go and sin no more". In your comment not only did Jesus grant her leniency, she also got off "go and sin no more"

[@greghardysmelodiesfromheav4971]

He wasn't trying to preach to the choir, the provocative title was meant to draw in people who really needed to hear the message.

The title should end with a question mark though. Its a bit misleading 😑😑

Pastor Kelly is one of my favourite preachers but I don't think the title to this message was divinely sought. There are absolutely no good reasons to be gay, adulterous, murderer, and thieves, and the list goes on.

[@sidstekapitel6335]

Kelly asks: “Could we actually accept someone on the journey away from sin?” If I understood Kelly correctly, does this mean we should baptize homosexuals who claim they are on a “journey away from this sin”? If so, should we then also baptize a man with multiple wives who says he is on a “journey” away from polygamy? What about an alcoholic who says, “I am on a journey away from drinking”? Or a thief who says, “I am on a journey away from stealing”? If this is indeed Kelly’s message, then such a human theory of inclusion would lead to the downfall of the SDA Church. However, I am not entirely sure I understood the message correctly. I must admit that I find it challenging to follow sermons that are unclear and lack direct, precise formulations, leaving them open to multiple interpretations. Is it only me who’s not able to interpret Kelly correctly?

[@Amafaranga300]

I share the same understanding with you!

[@sidstekapitel6335]

@@Amafaranga300 thanks for responding!

[@villagemediaministry]

Pastor Kelly has never been afraid to call sin by its right name. The process of baptism is intended to be an evaluation of someone's status and relationship with God. Call it God's theory of inclusion, not that of man. If someone is afflicted with any kind of sin, they must repent and show signs of transformation in their life before they can be baptized into the church.

[@sidstekapitel6335]

@@villagemediaministry. Does this mean that if I am asked in the babtism wows if I abstain from unclean meats and alcohol, I can just answer: “I am on my journey away from it”?

[@sidstekapitel6335]

@@villagemediaministry. To me, it seems that Kelly is employing “common fire” by playing with words in his title, provoking us to explore his perspective. This approach, however, is not befitting of any godly man or woman. Furthermore, I find it deeply troubling that it is so difficult for you (Village Church) to provide a clear biblical answer about conversion from sin, using the same kind of language the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy use on this specific sin. Kelly appeared to insinuate that employing biblical language could be perceived as unkind or “not inclusive.” Honestly, I am not a fan of the term “inclusive.” It strikes me as leftist rhetoric, and here in Denmark, it is used constantly in the media by the political left. Now, it seems to have become a loophole for welcoming unconverted sinners into our churches. Unfortunately, that is precisely what I see happening everywhere.

I have not been listening to pastor Kelly since the whole cancellation happened. This goes to show you that Dr. Vine's message was so on point and needed for this very time. We are now seeing the writing on the wall. With regards to this message... I love every one of my brothers and sisters regardless of their life choices. Now, I will not accept nor agree to their choices but also, I will not accept listening to an SDA pastor that says he preaches present truth and is trying to tell his congregation that eventhough its a sin but that we need to be more understanding. Pastor Kelly, you have opened the door for satan to embed his lies within your congregation, all those watching and especially the youth. Please be prayerful and ask God to give you clarity on the messages that you bring into God's house and to His people.

[@JulietteSasek]

@@HelenPZ sorry, I think I did misunderstand what you said. And yes, we should be understanding as we all have sinned and many are in bondage. Being understanding of someone’s struggles is not condoning their sin. We can sympathize with their struggle while loving them and pointing them to Jesus who can help them to overcome.

[@HelenPZ]

@JulietteSasek if agree that we need to be loving and compassionate, you are 100% correct. My issue is with pastor Kelly preaching this type of message in our churches. You and I, as faithful women of Christ, know that we need to be loving and compassionate. So when I come to church, especially in today's time, I want to hear a present Bible truth filled message. Not a message where now I question the way that I go about understanding and somewhat sympathizing (even though we know it's wrong) someone's lifestyle. Even though you and I understood the premise of his message, others may not and may, in fact, be confused.

To the best of my understanding, enabed by the Holy Spirit, the Pastor was not condoning a lifestyle that God describes as being an abomination.

But he allowed himself to be influenced by the websites on rifles and ammunition. The same with gays. Years ago someone will not surface as gay. So they learned to support each other. So if you are friends with gays and they support you, it is much easier to transition to being gay.

[@BEvans7]

I disagree with this man on the sin of homosexuality or any sin not being a choice, I say that only because. the Bible says this, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." All temptation according to this is not "uncommon" meaning the pull of the temptation is the same for all mankind and all temptations including Homosexuality. If "we resist" God is FAITHFUL and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. Meaning if you give in it is because you CHOOSE to and you CHOOSE not to resist. We are saved FROM sin no IN our SINS. Sorry Pastor Kelly you can work to gain sympathy for sinner but that doesn't reconcile them with God. Why do we feel sorry for the gays but not the adulterers or the thief? Isn't a thief born a thief? The thief doesn't have a choice either according to your logic or there is a differentiation within the realm of sin that frankly I can't find anywhere in the Bible except the sin of blaspheming of the Holy Spirit. It must be said we are infiltrate by the enemy and the false doctrine is coming out of the wood work. EVEN THE VERY ELECT WILL BE DECEIVED IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. Sister white said we would be infiltrated by these learned smooth taking men and quite frankly those Jesuits are like mice they can get into the tiny spaces and find their way in. Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing. By their fruits ye shall know them.

[@cosudu3002]

What if you are a gay person who doesn't know anything about what the Bible says and has run into judgmental Christians who are unkind to them. I don't know the struggle of being gay and then having my heart moved to question being gay (because I am not gay). I only know my own struggles and how hard they are, however, my struggles are accepted in Church or at least not really condemned. How confusing it must be also, to be told by some churches that being gay is not a sin and yet you feel that different conviction tug at your heart? I just cannot imagine going through years of being gay and then going through years of being confused and wanting answers but you run up against unloving, condemning Christians.

Sorry. Very muvh meaning well. Please do not miss the point. The focus of his preaching is no to reafirm doctrinal reality but to keep in check our carnal humane particular attitudes. True love for sinful souls separate the dogmas from the bonds of mercy. He was not preaching to the choir. May God bless pastor Kelly. Very courageous😢

[@susanaraduva3798]

[@linnetporter123]

Amen!!!

[@Amafaranga300]

Was the title chosen ironically or he mean it ?

[@carolinafernandes4207]

And just like that a good man, a man of God, is "gone". Keep the faith, fellows, glooming days lie ahead.

[@eidanzg]

Are we using clickbait now???? 👎

[@Kizzy-t9i]

I have no problem with this title if you mean “happy” how the old English adopted this old word from the French. But as far as the title is very ambiguous, I would not spend a minute to break my Sabbath listening with any possibly outrageous, unbiblical, heretic idea. My conviction is that God loves homosexuals, prostitutes, adulterers, fornicators, hackers, spammers, occult practicers, bank robbers, murderers, as well as all less sinners. That’s why Jesus came to save us all from our sins and NOT IN OUR SINS. I won’t give a try to listen to your sermon, I like my peace, especially on the Sabbath.

Alas, another voice of reason. Here's what I found when I removed myself from those who are inciting chaos. Pasay SDA Philippines, November 02, 2024: ( Use front page taskbar not youtubes taskbar). Zechariah Chapter 3. kzbin.info8PWzxc9dgSs?si=UIolkaZhW1usTSPp&t=1750. Timestamp: 30:00.

The sermon defies the title of the sermon. He explains what the bible says about the subject.

[@E-Buzz7E-Buzz7]

The SDA church has fallen into apostasy... This is with reference to GC... sin is sin, and we should not be afraid to call sin by its right name...

[@JulietteSasek]

Many churches have. This pastor is speaking truth. There are still some faithful in “Israel.”

Now I can hear the agent of satan only, your topic reveals it all. This is not the time of preaching such messages, this time is for preaching the,Three Angels messages.

[@JulietteSasek]

Did you listen to the sermon? Because you clearly just stopped at the title.

[@joleenflores821]

Christians need to believe what the Bible says…we are all sinners, but we need to repent and draw close to God and not to what this world promotes.

[@normanramirez-rx7hy]

Good speech Ron... little studied people here cant get your speechs meaning

[@SherwinWilliams-zr9ob]

Pastor, your message is extremely inspirational and profoundly deep. Those who don't understand the contents should ask that their eyes be washed with eyesalve that they may see. Pray that THE MONARCH OF THE GALAXY will continue to use you to glorify HIS NAME.

[@Chukwumeremeze]

"Wycliffe was a keen detector of error..." - HF. 52.2, Pray for "eye salve", we all do need it.

[@elijahrodgers416]

Reading these comments you see the results of slander which is a sin. Why don’t these same people talk about the fake flyers that were posted about this man of God? Individuals that talk against the church can engage in so much immorality and open sin just as evil as LGBTQ but still have followers that follow and defend them in their immorality and still attack the apple of God’s eyes, the object of God’s supreme regard! How can this be? Deceptions in these last days will be so intense that the very elect could be deceived. I pray people wake up…

[@hudiburgh]

It's not slander to disagree with the sermon title that conflicts directly with God's word. Think of those who could see that title in passing who didn't watch the video, how they were or could be misled. Whatever contradicts God's word, we may be sure, proceeds from Satan.

[@lloydjackson7112]

This title can be taken two ways . Either you are not interested in watching it or you are eager to see where it’s leading.

[@lenniesamuelmakey5215]

So your next sermon is going to be "Good reasons to be an adulterer??". Stop tjis bull. Call a sin a sin pastor. Do not deviate from the bible, Leviticus 18.22 clearly says homosexuality is an abomination. Why was Sodom and Gomorrah burned? Read Jude 1.17.

[@JulietteSasek]

Yes, sin is sin. You didn’t listen to the sermon. He said near the beginning, you are born this way is a deception of the world.

[@theroses9048]

And of course you get no response out of @villagemediaministry.

Thank you Pastor Ron Kelly. A very well thought out inspired seon/talk. Remember i don't flatter people.😊😊

[@mareeshone-howden7772]

Thankyou pastor Kelly for looking after those people who have wanted to have validation it's hard being gay and be a God fearing Christian and giving us all strength to fight this spiritual battle not to give in to the devils temptations.

[@yvetteweir1625]

I’m confused. Where does the Bible affirm a good reason to be homosexual? Does he know truth from error or has NPR so influenced him that he feels compelled to share this kind of message? He’s just articulate and intelligent enough to confuse most and then turn around and say there are good reasons for this lifestyle?!

[@graemeandcarolebrown1661]

After your duplicity you’ve lost me.😰

[@auroraburdick1074]

Maybe it would be good to listen again.

[@lhelms2850]

[@Chukwumeremeze]

Mix of truth and error... it is not good but it is good. I say again even the devil can't beat this.

[@theroses9048]

BRILLIANT. Duplicity, that's the word: deceitfulness; double-dealing.

[@rickvelez6120]

[@williampulu4348]

Is it a message from God or from hell?

[@JulietteSasek]

The sermon was very good.

[@Chukwumeremeze]

None of the above, it is definitely not from God and even the devil could not have come up with such ingenuity. I pray he repents before it is too late.

[@505roelfs]

@williampulu4348 If you’re sincerely asking this, then clearly you didn’t bother to watch.

[@richardosborne2067]

[@gordondalrymple7644]

Homosexuality is wrong. Condemning sin is loving and kind. We must not equivocate with this movement that blurs and defaces the image of God as He created us. Call sin by its right name and denounce it as fatal to the happiness of marriage and home

[@williamramos6068]

You sold Conrad Vine out that was weak and cowardly. You like preaching the truth, but you don’t like walking in it. there is still time to make up for it. God is just and merciful and good in every way.

[@NoName-kg5di]

You are part of the problem because instead of wanting to dialogue you accuse, no different from the same people that accuse Vine. Vine and Kelly are filled with the Holy Spirit and may God continue to use both men. I pray that God can open up your eyes before it is too late for you.

[@elijahrodgers416]

@NoName, very true!

[@mareeshone-howden7772]

The coming together ministries have been doing their camp so this sermon would fit perfectly with the cohert listening who have decided to come to Christ and leave their behaviours and addictions behind.you need to understand the context this camp has brought helped many people out of gay life or addictions He is saying to that cohort being a gay not practicing nor acting out tendencies our God says to them they are loved for wanting to follow God's laws.

[@edithcordero5816]

This is so embarrassing. Why did anyone stay and listen. This sermon from the beginning he is having difficulty making this because there is no substance. Confusion. Pastor Vine was surrounded by wolves. Good thing he's gone. Now the true colors of these men is being discovered. They were uncomfortable with pastor vine there stepping on their toes and affecting their conference financial future. Now the only thing left for the members are a bunch of carnival clowns giving a show but they deserve it for sitting in that building allowing them to silence common sense and conscience and freedom of thought and truth. Now just keep listening to foolishness and your amens and hallelujah is vanity and empty and embarrassing because truly you are allowing the clowns to make a circus of your church. Shame on you.

[@elijahrodgers416]

You have allowed lies about this man to guide your feelings. What do you have to say about the fake flyers that were put out by a popular man?

[@FranDurbin]

I congratulate Pastor Kelly for taking this stand. I would personally take it even a bit further. We are all sinners, and Christ is in the heavenly sanctuary working on all of us. Who is to say my sin is any "better" than someone else's. I say leave the topic alone, but I know that won't happen.

[@DebraMoore-o3x]

It is a good title. Can you see how it's exposing the seasoned Christians? They have forgotten so easily that they were sinning terribly and still is sinning. But because other persons sin is being Gay, then they should be condemned and don't deserved to be saved. PS: I am not a Gay person. I am total Heterosexual. The Bible stands and not what we feel about how some sins should be treated.

[@robking1240]

The title alone should warn people to flee.

[@cosudu3002]

The title is referring to what a gay person believes are good reasons to be gay. Pastor Kelly is showing them a better way than each of those reasons. He isn't advocating that being gay is good, not at all.

[@johnapocalipto6000]

You are NOT inspired by God. You DID NOT STAND UP against the unbiblical banning of pastor Vine.

[@mareeshone-howden7772]

Conrad Vine spoke in support of Pastor Kelly following the Michigan conference ban. You can find that also online. Hate is not something of God. We do not have the authority to judge only Jesus does, we do not know the heart. Being a Christian is being Christ like and I don't see that in Your post.

[@johnapocalipto6000]

@@mareeshone-howden7772 Conrad Vine is extremely polite... Kelly had the OPTION of enforcing or NOT this uncontitutional ban from the conference. He decided to go along with it... I do not hate Kelly for it. I simply stated that he is NOT inspired by God in what he says and does. He must repent. Yet he is too blind to see this... Being frank about it is not unbiblical or unChrist like!

[@lsterl]

What has happened to pastor Kelly since this comment was made doesn't appear to have aged well.🤔

[@Chukwumeremeze]

Did he just come out? Even the devil cannot beat this unrivaled mixture of truth with error. You cannot excuse sin, to give reasons for sin is to excuse it and then it ceases to be sin - Pr. Ron Kelly, you know better. You can preach the good parts of this message without excusing sin... it was not a mistake, it was deliberate and you will give account.

[@JulietteSasek]

Where did he excuse sin?

[@Chukwumeremeze]

@@JulietteSasek Do you believe sin is a choice?

[@JulietteSasek]

@@Chukwumeremeze yes. And that’s what Pastor Ron was saying.

[@Chukwumeremeze]

@@JulietteSasek The man is double tongued this means that he expresses two opposing sentiments in the same breath. Go to minute marker 21:18 where he said, "Whether I was born with a proclivity or whether I was nurtured through the dysfunction of our age and my home the truth of the matter is, is that God gives us the power..." and then he switches his position from the point where he said "now!" and then he said, "To someone that suggests that same sex attraction is a choice, my deepest sympathies go out to you" and then again he said, "No one wakes up and says, "hum I want to have same sex attraction". By the way by saying "Whether I was born with a proclivity... " he is already excusing the sin because we are all born with fallen natures.

Uh oh! Lord, have mercy! He looks like he's lost much sleep over this. I think he's conflicted! This title has much to do with the lawsuit from the GC against the state of Maryland. I think he knows there's a flood of LGBTQIANPZ members on their way out of the closet from the clergy, just as Alicia Johnston predicted in 2017 they would!

This sermon is truly misleading (muddled) as is the title.

Stop making excuses for sin and get on with righteousness by faith as it is in Jesus! “Cry aloud and spare not!”
