Children asking questions was never something I thought about until I became a parent myself at 23. I still remember the advice my mum gave me. "If they're old enough for the question, they're old enough for the answer."

Hi Ashley, I'm the one who asked about your thoughts if one of your kids were gay. I'm actually a gay man and have been following your channel for a good few years. Always wondered what your take on the LGBTQ+ community was. I want to mention that your recent responses haven't changed my view of you at all. Still here for the same reason I started following - watching you be a fantastic mom to your kids. The way you've supported Izzy and Mika since their adoption is just heartwarming. Even though I'm not a believer myself, I appreciate how you stay true to your beliefs and spread the word of God with kindness. Keep being the amazing mom and content creator you are!

Hi Ashley and Stan, to be honest I am a little stuck for anything positive to say today. I started following you because of your darling adopted girls and how you moved heaven and earth to give them the best possible life. I admired you so much for this and have been supporting you on this journey as best as I can. Once people start to expand their topics of conversation and comments, thay can find themselves in unchartered waters and this time, I am feeling uncomfortable about many things. I do however wish you continued health and happiness with your adoption journey and with those two beautiful girls already in your charge.

If you think that’s how that works you need to get a lot more educated Like the fact that if your kid told you they like men and your kid was your son. You would be upset. What gives you the right to be upset based off what your kid choose to be or chooses believe. What if they didn’t believe in god. Would you disown them. Kick them out.

Since we believe it is sin, and sin is rebellion against God, yes, we would be upset. The fact is, even if some is having same-sex attraction (which isn't sinful), they do have the choice on whether to act on that.

I would be genuinely upset with the thought of my child sacrificing his/her place in heaven by separating themselves from God. I would love them unconditionally, a Christian can have lunch with someone who doesn’t believe or follow God. But when that person is your child it does run deeper, you want them in Heaven with you one day.

I believe in God. I am a member of the LGBTQ community and every LGBTQ person will tell you that being Gay is not a choice. My hope is that if one of your kids came out to you that you as parents would support them and still love them. Counseling isnt necessrily always a bad thing as long as the goal isnt to try to change their sexuality because in most cases trying to change someones feelings towards that usually hurts their mental well being. I still like you both. I love that you chose to adopt and your girls are thriving. I will continue to support your family. I am a Christian also but disagree with some things you said while responding to the LGBTQ question. Sending you love and a million hugs❤

You do realise that being gay isn't a choice, so.if one of your children or Grandchilren are gay no amount of counselling will "cure " them , because its not a illness , being Christian surely means accepting & loving others for who they are , what would youb both do if one of your Grandkids are gay , and your counselling doesn't work (it wouldn't of course work ) do you stop loving that grandchild ,would that Grandchild be allowed in your home ? , all this bible quoting is easy thing to.spew out , but real life is just that real , I could never judge a person by their security orientation, none of my sons are gay ,but if they were I'd love them just the same, a person is born gay , & what does it matter , I'd rather a person who was gay & was a good non judgemental person as the bible says judge and you shall be judged ..I had a friend who thought exactly like you two ,all her kids got married & had kids, but her grandson came out as gay last year , no person Wakes up one morning & decides to be gay , they're gay because they're gay simple as that . I pity any of your family that might come out as gay because they'd know you'd both judge them & try to 'cure " them . Sorry I truly am not trying to be rude here but I think you both both need counselling yto help you both understand what being gay actually means.

If you are having sexual relations, gay or not, it’s a choice. If you are speaking about same sex attraction, that’s a different story. But let me ask you, how do you know it’s not a choice? Do you believe just because you have feelings or attractions a certain way that it’s beyond your control? Does this include pedophilia? They will say they didn’t choose that. What about wife beaters? They tell me all the time they love their wives, yet can’t help but beat them when their emotions take over. The fact is, your feelings/attractions are emotions to be controlled, otherwise we would eventually kill each other. You go on to say the bible quoting is easy to spew, but real life is that real, and then... you “quote” the bible. Which is it? Should we obey the bible or not? And just so you know, you are mistaken when you say we should not judge. The bible actually commands us to judge rightly, just not hypocritically. If when you tried to quote Matthew 7:1, you had kept reading, you would have seen that. As for your last comment that we would “try too cure them”, we can’t because it’s not a disease. As all willful sin, it’s rebellion against the Holy God, and he doesn’t cure you, He commands you to repent and follow Him. The church, especially the American Church, also needs to repent that it has for too long cared for the opinion of the world, while allowing people to go unwarned about God’s coming wrath. It has allowed the “church” to fill up with people who simply said a prayer, because they didn’t want to go to hell, and allowed them to sit idly in the pew regurgitating all kinds of unbiblical ideas which allow them to remain friends with the world. Don’t take my word for it. Pick up your Bible and search it out to see whether the things I tell you are true.

I am really sad that you would compare being gay with being a paedophile or a wife beater. We have 5 beautiful children and have been married for 40 yrs. Our youngest of 23 yrs old has told us hes gay. He is a gorgeous compassionate human being. A newly qualify fied Doctor. I dont understand why you could think like you do towards another human being. It breaks my heart.

@@AmandaBrown-xf5vn - You need to reread what I posted. What I compared is the idea that if you say people are born this way (can't control it), then you must also give the same benefit to those who also claim the same, such as pedophiles. You then state your gay son is a " gorgeous compassionate human being. A newly qualified Doctor", as if I said homosexuals couldn't be those things. I'm sure your son is a very nice young man, but being nice doesn't cancel out sin. If you believe the God of the Bible, your son is in willful sin, and unless he repents, he will one day suffer under the wrath of God. If you you don't believe in the God of the Bible, then this should be laughable to you, because it's simply a make believe man in the sky.

​@@Karenmkk28 - I appreciate your respectful question. Who is the judge of whether someone is hurt? You or I? If so, how do I hold you to a moral standard I've created and how do you hold me to a moral standard you've created? We can't, and would simply do what was right in our own eyes. Your question presupposes we are the arbiters of truth, and decide right and wrong. I follow the God of the Bible, who has set a standard based solely on who He is and for the purpose for which we were created. He gives you the choice to follow or reject Him, but His standard, he has not hidden from us. He has plainly told in in scripture that He did not create us for sexual immorality, which he includes homosexuality in. Those who sin against God, are in rebellion toward him and are storing up God's wrath against them (Romans 2:25). My statement that homosexuality is a sin, and will be judged by God, would be something to laugh at if it where not true. The fact that it is true shows in the fact people living in rebellion don't simply laugh it off as a make-believe man in the sky, but deep down their conscience testifies to its fact, which is why so many are seething with hatred that someone would dare call their behavior sin

I love what you said about teaching your kids. My boys are grown up, one has a child but when they were home and going to school, of course all the kids wanted the expensive tennis shoes...you know the 200 dollar ones. I told them, I will buy you these. You want those fancy shoes, then you better find a way to make money. And they did. They hunted bottles to take in and get money from (don't do that now), they mowed for people, all sorts of things and they got their shoes and they took care of them. I taught them to cook, clean house, to sow and fix spots on their clothes, to how to shop, how to do a bank account and take care of their money and they turned out two very smart young men. I call it being a parent. We also went to church and talked about God and what he expected from us.

Sure! Let me preface this by saying, hormone therapy and getting levels balanced takes a lot of time. I am 16 months in and still trying to find my sweet spot. However, here are some improvements I have noticed across the board. More energy, better sleep (because of progesterone and magnesium), I wake up feeling more rested and not necessarily waking up randomly at 3am. Just now can I finally see the number on the scale go down SLOWLY-but at least it is finally moving. I feel more feelings and less "blah"--can be a good thing and a bad thing LOL. ;) I think my libido is increasing too.

Thank you for your polite question. People have choice to do whatever they want, but that doesn't mean the existence or commands of God change one iota... but this post was never about the theological aspects of the question. We were simply asked what we would do if we learned one of our children were gay. We answered, but there seems to be many emotionally weak people who believe it is not possible to have discussions with someone of a different belief. As for your last comment, "I say people should do what they want if they are adults and can handle it", is that what Jehovah said, or is that simply a modern cultural idea, which allows us to live our lives, free from the obligation of warning others of the coming wrath.

These are the direct verses. I won't list all the indirect verses. (Leviticus 18:22) You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 20:13) If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (Romans 1:26-28) For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Timothy 1:9-11) We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Good question! We started homeschooling because we didn’t feel that kids needed to be in school 7-8 hours a day. We wanted them with us. As the years rocked along, and seeing challenges and influences that schools can bring to children at a young age- we wanted our kids biggest influence to be us, and not peers at school who they didn’t 7 hours a day with. Homeschooling has always worked my family. Yes, it’s hard and presents challenges just like anything else, but I would not trade it. ❤️ College- thus far- none of our children have pursued college, yet they are in a career that they are passionate about and thrive in.

I am sorry to return to this, I have been pondering this all week. I am just wondering a couple of things. Firstly what you would do if a stranger told you that they were gay. Secondly, what your opinions are on neurodivergence and crossovers with homosexuality. There is a comorbidity between homosexuality and autism, for example. Would you describe something like autism as a choice? As a parent of children with additional needs I am just still baffled that you can’t/don’t question this issue? Science 2700 years ago was greatly different today. We know that there are physical differences between many (not all, not generalising) people who are in the LGBQT community. 😊

@@mrsstockley5611 -You asked “what you would do if a stranger told you that they were gay.” LOL!!! Since they are a stranger, I would ask them why they were telling me they were gay. Are you wondering how I would feel toward them? No different than any other person in the world, but if they claimed they were a Christian, that would be different. There are biblical standards for those who claim to be in the faith yet are engaged in willful and persistent (unrepentant) sin. As for your question about my thoughts on “neurodivergence and crossovers with homosexuality”, I think you are grasping at straws. There have been studies which show those on the spectrum have higher rates of LGBTQ identities. If you’d have actually read those studies thoroughly, I’m not sure you would have chosen to use those as examples because it leans into the possibility of a connection to neurological abnormalities and mental illness. You seem to have the misconception that if you can simply show a genetic link, or at least a biological connection of some type that I would be more accepting. The fact is there are currently studies which lean toward men not being responsible for their whoredom and adultery because they are born with a proclivity toward polygamy. Does this mean God would excuse me for actually acting on my natural desire and cheating on my wife? The fact is it does not matter. Even if science could prove a proclivity toward certain behavior; it would still be a sin. No matter our proclivities (such as our sin nature), we are still responsible for our actions. Thankfully, God provided a way for the repentant, not matter what their sin was, to be forgiven. You again say, “Science 2700 years ago was greatly different today”, as if science shows people are born gay, which it doesn’t. They have been hoping for a “gay gene” for decades, with no luck. The largest study was completed about 4-5 years ago and their conclusion was there was no gay or heterosexual gene. As for your statement, “The Church of England allows blessings of same sex relationships, there is a lovely level of tolerance and willing to think differently there and the Methodist church has overwhelmingly voted yes to allowing same sex marriage.” First, my standard is God’s standard, not any particular denomination. They will answer to God for their misleading people with false doctrines. They simply have chosen to ignore scripture and instead elevate theirs and other’s “feelings” to be their golden calf. Your statement that they have “a lovely level of tolerance and willing to think differently”, shows their foolishness, absent a scriptural basis for the change. If tolerance is your goal, don’t follow Jesus Christ. While he is kind, patient and loving, he is not tolerant. He is God.

@@TheFeltsFamily It is proven that there are brain differences in people who are homosexual. So I am confused regarding this. There is no gene, however there are neurological differences. I myself have ADHD and a daughter with autism and ADHD so I talk of neurological differences as someone with neurological differences! I love our differences ❤️ Thank you for your other points I think. I felt much relieved to hear that our church of England is beginning to understand things differently here in the UK, it gave me hope in my own faith. Additionally it caused me to see that the views you express aren’t representative of all Christians. As I am sure you are aware, the bible has also been used to justify such things as slavery or racism previously and so it is hard to hear the word of the bible used as justification for homophobia. Thank you for your lengthy replies as I tried to work out how I can possibly go back to church again knowing that the lovely people I know could hold their views. I obviously believe in standing against such things as homophobia so I just can’t condone it. That said I wish you all luck, your beautiful girls too.

@@mrsstockley5611 - Correct there is no gene. Yes, there are brain differences based on a large number of factors (including environmental), but that doesn’t justify one’s behavior. Yes, the bible has been used by many to justify their ignorance, but in situations, where we find that to be the case, it is almost always because they are taking verses out of context, and never looking at the totality of scripture. That can be said of this issue. Denominations who are approving of homosexual sin are doing so by ignoring scripture and simply making calls for biblical “love” as if it can be viewed apart from God’s commands. Anyone who attempts to justify homosexual acts is doing so by ignoring scripture and basing their belief(s) on emotional factors. The fact they are approving and promoting another’s sin will land them under the same wrath of God as those who persist in their sin.

I have to be honest…I’m so disappointed to hear you guys express your hypothetical reaction if one of your own kids were gay. I’m having a hard time reconciling the heart you guys have-as clear from your adoptions-with the pain and guilt you would cause your child. God, and religion, all of them, is first and foremost about love. Very much in contrast with the pain (again) you would cause your own child for something that they-and all gay people -simply cannot help. Anyway, there are many many insane things said in the Bible. Just keep in mind that you are picking and choosing what to follow from this book.

It's these type replies which really baffle me. You say, "God, and religion, all of them, is first and foremost about love", and you come to this conclusion how? And how are you defining love? The fact is you simply reject the God of the Bible, which is your choice, and try to explain God from your own imaginings. God created each and every one of us, and for us to then say you are the one who decides what he will and won't accept is silly. People just need to be honest and simply say they want what they want, and don't want to be bothered with what God wants.

I’m defining love minimally as being kind and being accepted by the being that according to you created everyone. I was raised catholic but at this point in my life I am agnostic, however, I understand the appeal world over that religion has for people as most of it centers around being good people and treating others with kindness and goodness, and I support all this of course, as do you no doubt. I’m not trying to be disrespectful to what people believe, but at the same time I will never understand why the Bible or any other holy book is accepted blindly when it clearly contains that which I’m certain you would not agree with I.e. slavery and violence etc. Anyway I’m glad at least you said you wouldn’t disown them, I just wish it would go a little further than that. I think you guys have done a beautiful thing in giving those two little girls a warm and loving home, and rescued them from the terrible life (especially Izzy) they likely would have had in foster care, so I’ll just end my comment on that positive note.

Matt. 22 Verses 34 to 40 [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ❤ The bible does not say love thy neighbour except the practicing gay people. It is not your place to judge anyone, you just spread the love. It is your only task and it is hard enough. It means also love all the sinners and the atheïsts and the drunks and everyone you disagree with. Just focus on that. It is hard enough. Judging others for who they are is a sin. Being gay is not something you do it is who you are. A creature from God who He created in all His wisdom. We don’t know his ways. Only God decides. Not you ❤

I find it strange that you first quote Matthew 22:37, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”, while defending sexual immorality. It was Jesus who said, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15) and 1 John 2:4 says whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Was it this same God who gave Moses the law which said, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Lev. 18:22). Was it not Paul, who Jesus chose to take the gospel to the gentile world who said, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10), “the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine” (1 Tim. 1:9-10), and “they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:25-27). Maybe since loving God with all your heart is the greatest commandment, you should stop encouraging people to disobey Him, which is hatred toward God. Also, you say we should love our neighbor, and I agree. The greatest way to love your neighbor is to tell them the truth and warn them of God’s coming wrath (Romans 2:5). God has warned those who know the truth and fail to warn others: “If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand” (Ezekiel 3:18) You then go on to say, “Judging others for who they are is a sin.” First, God judges everyone for who they are (sinners), so are you accusing God of sin? Second, if you are trying to imply, we are not to judge, let me encourage you to actually open, and study your bible. If you do, you will find we are commanded to judge, righteously and not hypocritically. Even Jesus commanded us “Do not judge by appearances, but JUDGE with right judgment” (John 7:24). You then say, “Being gay is not something you do it is who you are.” I wonder if you say the same thing for pedophiles. After all, they claim they have had their desires since they can first remember and many also claim they were born that way. The fact is people have unnatural desires for a variety of reasons, but their desires do not force their action. If a man cheats on his wife, do you excuse him because he had a desire to have sex with another beautiful woman? The fact is people sin because they hate God, and love to worship at the altar of pleasure. You finish by saying, “Only God decides. Not you.” I couldn’t agree more, which is why I base my beliefs on scripture, not how I feel. You cannot say the same.

There is a big difference between pedolophiles and gay people, I am sure you can see that. A child and an adult have a different level off power. I would compare that to rape, that is criminal. Gay love is not criminal or violent it is love. Start with judging hate. There is enough going around.

You were anxious to quote Matthew, as you thought it would bolster your case, yet then disregard every bit of scripture I shared with you, which shows you were never interested in what God says about the subject to begin with. You said, “Being gay is not something you do it is who you are.” I said, “I wonder if you say the same thing for pedophiles. After all, they claim they have had their desires since they can first remember and many also claim they were born that way. The fact is people have unnatural desires for a variety of reasons, but their desires do not force their action. If a man cheats on his wife, do you excuse him because he had a desire to have sex with another beautiful woman? The fact is people sin because they hate God, and love to worship at the altar of pleasure.” That is not comparing homosexuals to pedophiles. It’s comparing the idea that you can’t simply say if someone is born a certain way, then it justifies their actions, but that is what people always try to do in regards to homosexuality. You then go on to say, “Gay love is not criminal or violent it is love. Start with judging hate.” Again, your statements are not based in logic. Since you say “gay love is not criminal”, as if that is the deciding factor, I assume if it were illegal you would then be against it? If not, then why are you trying to appeal to its criminal status? That makes no sense! Also, when you use the words “love” and “hate”, it seems you simply believe these are emotional states toward a thing. God says if you love Him, you will obey Him. He is patient, loving and merciful toward all in hopes they will repent, turn toward Him, and begin obeying Him. That is true love, not the selfish debasing of each other’s bodies for sexual pleasure, which is the true hatred.

The word of God states it is an abomination for a man to lie down with a man.

@TheFeltsFamily
@TheFeltsFamily 4 ай бұрын
First, Christians are commanded to judge, but righteously (John 7:24) and not hypocritically (Matthew 7:1-5). The judgments we are to make involve those who profess Christ or claim to be part of the body (1 Corinthians 5:11-13; 1 Timothy 5:20). We are not allowed to make eternal/condemning judgments, for it is not within our power or purpose (James 4:12). With that said, the fact someone points out that which God has commanded is not a judgment at all (God has already made the judgment in the law), but it is a warning from us, which is love. Those who would simply ignore God’s commands, so as to make other’s feel better in their sin, are full of hatred; those upon whom the blood of the condemned will be on their hands (Ezekiel 33:7-9; James 5:20). As for your statement “thank god Jesus did not judge”, I’m not sure what Jesus you follow, but the Jesus of the Bible did and does judge, but he did not come to condemn because everyone already stood condemned (John 3:18, 36). It’s quite odd that the very scriptures many people use to say Jesus didn’t judge (like the woman caught in adultery), he was judging, yet not condemning (John 8:1-11). Jesus actually says, “For judgment I came into this world” (John 9:39), but again this was not a condemning judgment, but a judgment in hopes of their repentance (Ezekiel 18:23). There is a day His judgments will condemn eternally (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:12-15) and his wrath will be poured out upon the unbelievers and lawless ones (Rom. 1:18, 2:25; Eph. 2:23, 5:6; Rev. 6:16); those who practice sin (1 John 3:4-9), which includes homosexuality (1 Cor. 6:9). Unbelievers need to hear the law preached to reveal their sin (Rom. 3:20), God’s wrath preached to understand their just condemnation (John 3:18), and God’s Grace preached last, so as to understand it, as the Good News it is (Rom. 3:24). If you say, “But wait a minute, it’s the ‘goodness of God that leads men to repentance’ (Rom. 2:4), not God’s wrath and condemnation. That is absolutely true; the only problem is, these people don’t seem to understand what the goodness of God is. They, like you, seem to believe the goodness of God is simply allowing sinners to continue in their sin, without understanding it is their sin which separates them from God (Eph. 4:18), and has made those same sinners His enemies (Col. 1:21). If you then say, "Wait, John 3:16 says 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.'" YES! This is what makes His GRACE so amazing! While we were yet sinners (Rom. 5:8) and still his enemy, Christ died for our sins, so that we could know Him. God's goodness is this, “God made him (Jesus) who had no sin, to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) The goodness of God is He has even granted you repentance (2 Timothy 2:25), when He would have been perfectly just in destroying us ALL. The goodness of God is that He would ask His Son to stand in place of those (Rom. 3:25), who were objects of His WRATH (Rom. 9:22)! The goodness of God is He waits so patiently (2 Peter 3:9) for those whom He has no need of, just because of Who He is. God’s GOODNESS is that this world has not yet experienced their final judgment, and the wrath we deserve. The goodness of God is God the father crushing his Son, Jesus (Isaiah 53:10), instead of crushing YOU!!! If you don’t understand that as the “goodness of God”, you just don’t truly understand the situation. People can never understand God's Grace (His goodness - giving you something you don't deserve), until they FIRST understand their depravity and condemnation. They have to understand the problem, before they will ever understand their need. If you’re asking people to be “saved”, start by telling them the state they are in, and what it is they need to be saved from (presently sin [Matt. 1:21] and God’s just wrath in the end [Rom. 5:9]), and stop presenting the Gospel to them, as some sort of addition, which keeps them out of hell, yet allows them to continue being Lord of their own life, while living in their sin. Tell them to repent and believe on Jesus the Christ, and then demonstrate their repentance and faith by their deeds! Stop the non-sense, which implies the love and Grace of God allows people to sin freely! Those who love Him obey Him! Those who say they love Him, yet don’t obey Him are liars! Scripture couldn’t be clearer, yet because of our sinful desires, we search out teachers who will teach whatever we want, so as to guarantee our “salvation”, while allowing us to continue clutching our sins tightly to our breast - it’s a depraved doctrine from the pit of Hell!

I agree with your position but just want your viewers to know that children out there like mine exist and desperately need a family. People feel kids like mine are bad because their chromosomes are both male and female and they don’t fit either category. The point I am trying to make is that SO many people choose to go against God but intersexed children are born like this. The choice wasn’t theres so my desire is that people know these kids are out there. My goal is to bring awareness to this group of kids waiting for adoption since your talking about a sensitive topic for many. Thats all.

I was brought up as a jehovah witness look at the natural world. We come into this world and leave alone. U talk only about scripture what about life without the bible as many societies have different beliefs. No matter how much u believe doesn't make it true or real. Look at the Druids and spiritual folk learn from nature x

Hi Ashley and Stan. I am so disappointed after this video 😢. I really enjoyed following your family but it broke my heart to hear you talk so cruelly about gay people. I have good friends who are gay and I know God is proud of them for living in their truth. God is about love, not judgement. I am unfortunately unsubscribing. I know you are good, hard working parents. It was just too much to hear this 😢.

You said, “broke my heart to hear you talk so cruelly about gay people”. Where exactly did we talk cruelly about gay people? If you think anytime someone disagrees, it means they are speaking cruelly, you will have a very disappointing life. God is very clear in scripture about homosexual acts being sin. There is no “their truth”, “your truth”, or “my truth”, there is simply truth. You go on to say, “I have good friends who are gay and I know God is proud of them for living in their truth. God is about love, not judgement.” What does having good friends have to do with it? That simply tells me you are basing your opinion on emotion, rather than simply making your point. I have friends who are gay, yet this doesn’t change truth. You say God is proud of them for “living their truth”. How exactly do you come to that conclusion, because that isn’t a biblical view. Also, you say God is about love, not judgment. I don’t know if you claim to follow the God of the Bible, but if you do, you don’t know your Bible. I don’t say that to be mean, but your statements testify to the fact you don’t know the Bible. God is a God of love (His hand is for them), but He is also a God of wrath (He hates the evildoer / His hand is against them). He is also a God of judgment, and will throw those, who live in rebellion to Him, into a place called Hell. It doesn’t matter what we think about any given subject, because we do not set the standard, He does. With that being said, either open the Bible and actually study it, or run from Him; either way you along with the rest of us will all be judged by what He has said and whether we obeyed Him

@@TheFeltsFamily we will definitely agree to disagree there. I have unsubscribed and reported the homophobia in this video. If God loves the orphans I can't imagine he'll reign hate down on gay people and send them to hell!

@@eiliscooney7252 - you start out by saying "agree to disagree" then say you have "reported the homophobia in this video". First, you need to realize homophobia is not defined as an idea, which is contrary to the support of homosexuality, it is a fear of homosexuality. We don't fear homosexuals, we are fearful for them, just as we are all unrepentant sinners. Also, you don't "agree to disagree", you simply want some authority to force us to either shut our mouth or accept your view? I assume you live in a country like the UK or Canada, which uses that type of oppression to oppress those you say are oppressors. What a silly slippery slope. Has it ever occurred to you, you never made one logical attempt to change my mind? You simply implied you emotionally support your gay friends, implied we are cruel to homosexuals, while with no support to that accusation, and then told us you were reporting us to some authority because we hold different views. Is this what the education system of today is producing? There is nothing wrong with you having an emotional reaction to something you dislike (that is natural), but please learn to actually defend or at least put forth an effort to explain what it is you believe.

I hate to tell you I’m a single mom by choice and my donor had 25 more kids with lesbian couples after mine. One of the moms even puts her infant son in dresses . I had to leave the sibling group it felt so cringe and everyone hates me there cause I’m Christian. I don’t think he’s going to stop donating anytime soon w all the lesbian couples these days .while they’re financially well off and good people but ik they are sinning. And I 100%regret becoming a single mom by choice , too. I don’t blame God for not giving me a husband when I chose kids first.
