Why Lonnie Frisbee's Same-Gender Attraction Wasn't Shown on Jesus Revolution

[@Apex_grind562]

The movie did not need to focus on Lonnie's lifestyle. It was about God using sinners, like me. It was about a movement. The movie was amazing.

Amen

[@avagates2039]

[@fargomonkey5133]

Exactly. There probably is a movie to be made about Lonnie in particular, but the Jesus revolution wasn't focused on that. It was focused on what GOD did through flawed people.

[@beckyw571]

EXACTLY!

[@chocloditelensman]

Exactly ! We are all sinners regardless of a few details being left out. I looked at Lonnie as a messenger of God’s word - and God usually chooses the most flawed people to do his work. The only disappointment I had was they left “listen to the music” by the doobie brothers out of the movie. Lol

Haven’t seen the movie yet but when I learned of his tragic ending I was very critical as a flesh being can be at times. Then the Holy Spirit convicted me for those times when the old man shows himself and I was justifiably more concerned with working on self and letting Him work on me. Shalom

[@dianacalle7327]

I Lived there in Orange County Cali, Greg Laurie Baptized me there at Pirates Cove in 1982. That is my childhood beach with many memories and baptism. Too bad the movie did NOT mention the HUGE numbers of miracles and healings GOD did, and sad of the rumors and lies that are still out there of Lonnie Frisbee. They tried to cancel him out, but GOD is back to set the story straight. We see GOD using so many coming from broken backgrounds as HE did in the early Church. Lonnie’s Brother and Close friend share the truth on KZbin. Calvary Chapel could not handle the continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit and was quenched, and they became an only Word teaching Church. I attended Calvary Chapel for a few years and witnessed the structure that quenched Holy Spirit. But thus the Vineyard Churches were then birthed embracing both GOD’s Word and the gifts of Holy Spirit. I and many others transitioned to the Vineyard which also flourished across the country with John Wimber and Lonnie Frisbee and many others in its early days. GOD will have HIS way and HIS SPIRIT will again fall on those that are hungry and open to whatever Holy Spirit will do, and those that criticize will lose out and be empty .

[@rockinmissionary9502]

If Lonnie was erased, it wasn’t for long. People are interested in his story & how The Lord uses broken people to help other broken people. We see this man as a man after God’s own heart. What a beautiful heart Lonnie had too.

[@TheLastAndFutureDay]

I didn't have an issue with it. Made perfect sense to deal Lonnie as he was in that era they were focused on '69-'71. I think that anyone who wants to know more about Lonnie's life should read his 3-part autobiography, Not By Might Nor By Power.

I loved "Jesus Revolution" very much! I shed many happy tears during the movie. I agree with Director McCorkle's comment about not covering what happened to Lonnie. Even though Lonnie fell away from God, he did restore his relationship with Him before he passed away. It was more important to lift up God & how He worked with imperfect people. It was very encouraging & gave us hope during this difficult time. Releasing this movie at this particular time was perfect with regard to the revivals which are happening at our universities & with this next generation.

He was in a 6 month relationship with a man, Chuck Smith and John Wimber knew about it. That’s why Wimber parted ways with Lonnie and he left the Vineyard church. His wife even said he would go to gay bars late at night, many people knew about his homosexual tendencies. Lonnie whitewashed his autobiography because of his pride, goes to show you he probably didn’t truly have a repentant heart. Lonnie got aids and died of his sinful lifestyle, period. You don’t lie about things like that and tell the whole world about it, it’s a false testimony and he got judged for it. Sad to say many on here don’t know the whole story about Lonnie, he was not a good witness for Christ if you look at his life as a whole. Even the director has a guilty look on his face for emitting that part out of the movie. Why? Because Lonnie wasn’t a good witness for Christ …and they’re sitting there making money off of this whole hype media storm to make it look like Lonnie didn’t have many questionable issues going on there wit him. Do some research, stop idolizing men. This movie is not being honest or what went on with the Jesus movement

[@Fiat.Voluntas.Tua22]

Yes, he also admitted it was sinful. He was repentant.

[@shaunsteele6926]

what would be the purpose of including Lonnie's personal sins in the movie? He's been dead for 30 years, all it would do at this point is drudge up hurtful feelings for his friends and family. He was clearly repentant towards the end and clearly knew what he was doing was wrong, since he tried to keep it secret.

[@timhaslam4500]

Shaun, I agree with your point but where is your evidence that Lonnie lived a sinful lifestyle. If you are referring to the false rumours that he lived a gay lifestyle please check the facts. He, his brother and several of his room mates have categorically said he never lived a gay lifestyle. Read his autobiography. He admits to occasionally falling into sexual sin as a result of severe sexual abuse as a child, but was always repentant after falling, did not identify as gay or follow a gay lifestyle. I love gay people but I don’t like rumours and gossip.

[@shaunsteele6926]

@@timhaslam4500 I have no idea what kind of "lifestyle" he lived, but we know he occasionally engaged in sex acts with men because he admitted as much to Chuck Smith and others when confronted with the allegations.

I assure you the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on young people was very dependent on Lonnie Frisbee. The FACT is GOD USED LONNIE, NOT anyone else.

[@emerald637]

If it had not been Lonnie Frisbee, the Lord would have chosen another. It was God's will and timing for revival, regardless of the instruments, or the vessels that He used. Never forget that God used a donkey in the old testament when He spoke through that animal to deliver His message. God chooses who He will use, and when He will use them for the purpose of His Kingdom, regardless of the particular earthen vessel. Pastor Chuck Smith used to always say, "God is not looking as much for ability (the most intellectual, talented, etc.), but rather He is looking for availability and a willing heart." Pastor Chuck Smith, Lonnie Frisbee, and Greg Laurie all made themselves available to be used by the Holy Spirit right where they were during that time in history. God is still using their ministries today all over the world.

Great movie. So many memories. In many ways, the Jesus Revolution that started with Lonnie, Chuck, Greg, Love Song, Calvary Chapel, etc. never ended. Near the end of the movie, it was stunning to see Lonnie disappear off to Florida, only to be mentioned in the closing captions as passed away... this was after all the guy who God used to start the whole fire. Of course there is a lot more to say about Lonnie's significance, but perhaps that is more for a biography of him.

When we read about the men of faith in scripture, we often see their struggles and failures. Let's be honest, Calvary Chapel tossed Lonnie to the side and took him out of their history. I was with CC since 84. Always heard about Chuck, no one ever mentioned Lonnie's part. The movie plays loose with the history of the events. Is it a feel good movie? Sure. Is it accurate? No. Give people the truth and not Christian propaganda. All of a sudden they are acknowledging Lonnie's part in the movement...sort of. You have to ask your self why.

Greg Laurie was the creative force behind the movie and he has stated that he personally did not witness any of Lonnie's sexual issues which is why Greg did not add it to the movie except the one comment when Chuck and Lonnie meet and Lonnie says he used to do all drugs and all people before he came to Christ. Greg says he does not believe Lonnie was using drugs or partaking in sexual immorality during the short time he was involved in the movement.

Lonnie’s brother contends that Lonnie was not attracted to men. Lonnie was a part of the artist culture and he found great acceptance there. The art culture is very open to new experiences and Lonnie was in great need of acceptance. He felt men seemed to abandon him repeatedly (fathers, Chuck….) and the art culture did not. Because of the abuse Lonnie experienced as a child. He was very vulnerable. I don’t really want to say anything more because I’m probably going to ruffle feathers. Now, a family member can be biased, but he did know Lonnie very well.

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

Also the man who was his best friend from about '79 through late '80s and then spoke with him at the end of Lonnie's life said that Lonnie NEVER identified as homosexual. He had become very bitter and unforgiving because of rejection and humiliation at the hands of people including Chuck Smith and others. He had never healed fully from his cruel childhood when he was repeatedly molested by his older male babysitter EVEN after he told his mother. His own mother decided he had LIED and refused to even get rid of the babysitter. I know what it's like when you have brokenness sexually. A person can end up playing out the very thing that hurt them, especially when feeling rejected and humiliated. And Lonnie DID repent and work out his bitterness and unforgiveness. He never said homosexuality was anything but a sin. And he addresses this issue in the very last chapter of Book 3 of his autobiography, NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER: Set Free. A lot of people compare him to Samson -- and I believe that is an appropriate comparison.

When I was 15 someone invited me to something called the Chi Roe house in Ohio in 1974 . I went to a few meetings and then we moved out of state. But before we moved even though I didn't believe in God I remember feeling so good in that meeting . I was converted 7 years later at a pentecostal church that was on fire. Who knows if we hadn't moved I might have converted right there. It was after seeing some video about the Jesus people movement that I realized that the Chi Roe house was one of their houses.

[@edenjohnson3342]

There's opinion that the movie should not lionize Lonnie Frisbee BECAUSE his double life was right there from the start and was continuous throughout his life. He did not just fall while in Florida. There's also the claim that 80% of those baptized have to this day kept to Christian values. No matter. Let's all continue to pray for everybody involved, including for Timothy Leary, the controversial ex-Harvard Professor in Psychology whose private life seemed more horrible harrowing than Lonnie's. AND let's pray for ourselves and our dystopian times. Per Richard Thomas: This passage in St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Thessalonians is, I believe, very important to understanding our times. These times are difficult! In the West we are seeing a very troubling cultural wave of surprising speed and ferocity, deforming in the name of “reforming” religion, secular power/government, even the military, even our school systems, everything, everywhere. It is a force attacking human foundations - of faith in God, of human nature, of marriage, of the natural moral law as God has placed it in human conscience, indeed a force seeking to redefine humanity, God, government, right and wrong, truth and lie, life itself. I would say it is a force attacking reason and upending it, to leave in the wake and “normalize” insanity. It is the force, I would say, of satan unleashed. It is death, seeking to trample into the dirt all that is good, noble, and true...... What are we to do? The mortal danger is made clear in this passage. There are those perishing and there are those to be saved, to be gathered into His peace, His love, His Truth, eternally. The mortal danger is to be among those who “have not accepted the love of truth so that they may be saved” (verse 10). The dying world is rejecting Truth, and is seeking fantasy! Gender dysphoria is perhaps the most blatant and clear example of the bold-faced denial of undeniable reality, in these days. A man is simply not a woman, and cannot ever be. No matter the outward dress, the lipstick, the chemicals, the surgeries, the wishes or demands or laws or pretenses, a man will never become a mother, he will never conceive new life within himself and bear a child. God and God alone creates a child, a new and unique human person, through the generative powers He placed in a man of His creation and a woman of His creation, by His intention and design. Gender dysphoria is a very clear example of the rejection of God’s design and will - in whose will our vocation to holiness and happiness is to be found and fulfilled. But in our times we see so many ways and examples of modern man’s rejection of God, and supplanted by his own self-obsessed will, and wishes, and concerns, and ideas. Not seeking the saving Truth of God, but seeking instead the Self according to one’s own imagined “self”, modern mankind has continued step after step to further and further distance himself from God, His will and ways. Thus same-sex unions and even “marriages”, even “adoptions” of children, thus contraception and abortion, thus crimes against humanity of every sort: murders, rapes, enslavement, stealing, lying, hating, … , man against man, man against God, man against himself. The road away from God is the road to death. What are we to do? Seek Truth in the love of Truth; embrace Truth in the communion of divine holiness, our vocation, our destiny. Rest in Him in the works of every day. He is coming, and soon. Remain faithful, in Him, until the end: 2 Thess 2:13 But we ought to give thanks to God for you always, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth. 14 To this end he has [also] called you through our gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught….

@@renegoldsmith6281 go study what Emporer Constantine did. He wanted control over all the pagan groups, of which many had goddess figures. He slapped " christian" names, Jesus, Mary Joseph etc on pagan entities. The REAL beginning of the Church can be found in the Book of Acts in the Bible, and at first it was jews, then gentiles came to faith. MESSIANIC. There is nothing about the original church that is Roman or Catholic. The beads come from pagan hinduism. Yes, I love my mom. Jesus NEVER told us to pray to Mary or anyones mother.

Lonnie Frisbee's story is too "complicated" to be made into a feel good Hollywood flick

[@rascallyrabbit]

but it is a huge issue. Lonnie was struggling as we all are. he needed the love and support that we all need to get through. chuck and Greg and calvary chapel kicked him out. they had no faith that God heals sinners. all talkie, talkie. today many churches have trauma support groups. Lonnie needed support. he was a good man.

What do you think about Jesus Revolution? How about the filmmakers' choice to leave out some of Lonnie's life in the film? Tell us below! I would encourage you all to check out this chat I had with a man named Joe Dallas, who lived much of his life as a gay man, before finding the Lord. His apologetic responses in his book, "Speaking of Homosexuality" has been my favorite book on the sensitive subject. Here's 1 of 2 of our video chats. God bless! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIXYYqx6Yrirnsk

[@firecapt100]

The Jesus Revolution was about the move of God in the 70's and how it impacted countless for Christ Jesus. Lonnie played a pivotable role in that, along with Chuck Smith. Yes, Lonnie fell. Yes, Lonnie sinned. But how he loved the Lord Jesus Christ. At the very end, when he breathed his last breath, only Christ knew his heart. If Lonnie confessed his sins and rededicated his life for Christ, I am confident he is with the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thought I had found happy ever after. He brought me to the end of myself. He didn’t leave me broken. Read the Bible. ALL of it. Leviticus 18 and all. Sin WILL kill you.

true those were His words, but you left out the rest of the story, later He said He had sheep not of this fold. He went to Israel first, a relativly small percent accepted Him as their Jewish Messiah. Then He went to the world. The Church began with Jews who believed - 7,000 after 2 sermons by Peter, later it was mostly gentiles added in. For God so loved the WORLD, Jews and gentiles.

[@josephrohland5604]

@@lw216316 The gentiles Paul and the disciples were preaching to were either Greek converts to Judaism or the elect diaspora, grafted-in descendants of the tribes of Israel who had been dispersed among the nations. Through the ministry of the disciple's great commission, they were called out from the nations to again be a holy nation of kings and priests, to be sealed for the day of redemption, which only they lived to see. Nobody today is a gentile of that sort. God so loved the Old Covenant world only. See Deuteronomy 7:6-7.

I understand the demonic warfare that occurs when you're trying to live a life of holiness. Took 20 years for God to purify whatever had been destroyed by perverts in general. I am now attracted to men and I can actually think about getting married. 44. I have never been married due to large amounts of trauma. Thank you, LGBTQ community. Thank you to any pervert who lives in society and they choose not to get help for their problems. Sin is a cycle of death and destruction. The minute you take sin of any kind and you refuse to fight against it. You've already lost. If you don't have Christ, you can't overcome sin, but if you choose to do nothing, that's worse.

Matthew 10:8 KJV Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.... Lonnies innocence was violated by a male babysitter when he was young. He needed deliverance. That spirit must have been around and needed to be cast out. I'm glad he found God again in the end. I feel really bad that Lonnie had to go through that. Matthew 18:6 KJV But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea....
