This really hit home for me. I had a similar situation in March of 2018. My 21 year old daughter ( only child ) got pregnant and informed my husband and I that she was going to have an abortion. We could not support that decision as Christians and she was aware of that. We begged her to reconsider and offered help in every way we could. Financial help, help with placing the baby for adoption, offering to keep the baby for her, we offered help in every possible way except abortion. As Christians we could not take part in or participate in such a thing. The more we tried to steer her away from abortion, the angrier she got at us. She was so angry with us and accused us of judging her. She said that if we could not support her decision and give our blessing in this matter than she would have to let us go. She has not spoken to us since March of 2018. We have tried many times to contact her, but she refuses to speak to us. As Christians we sometimes have to make a choice between God or someone we Love very much and it is extremely painful. But we are not to participate, support or partake in these things. Jesus said that anyone who loves the members of ones family more than him is not worthy of him and sometimes we are faced with that choice.

The Prodigal Son is a story of accepting a REPENTANT SINNER... The Father didn't attend his son during the days of wild living when he squandered his inheritance. Likewise, the Pharisees had no interest in the word of God, only worldly traditions, but here we are saying that Begg needs to return to God's word, which calls sinners to repentance and trust in him.

Marriage licenses are a bit off topic, but if you must know.

Before this, a marriage license wasn’t required. A couple only had to register in some areas after the marriage had already taken place. You might want to double check what I said.

They claimed to have an oral law supposedly given to Moses when Moses received the actual Law of God. They claimed that this oral law was passed down to them unwritten so that the gentiles wouldn’t have it. The fake Oral Law (the traditions of the elders) was the law Jesus was pushing back on, not the true law, He came to fulfill it.

As a Calvinist, he has been a false teacher for decades… 🔥🗡️📖

If Begg thinks it's OK for a Christian grandmother to attend her grandson's gay/trans wedding, why shouldn't Begg, himself, officiate at such a wedding? I'm betting he wouldn't, but, based on his advice, what reason could he give?

This is a simple matter.---"“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 511. Maybe that verse of scripture is not in ''pastor' Begg's Bible. That he has doubled down and refuses to admit his error in judgment is sad. It shows a lack of humility because he couldn't be more wrong.

I agree about not supporting sin or encouraging those lost in the darkness when we infer that it is acceptable as celebrating the event of gay marriage, but I can also sympathize with how hard it is to stand your ground and be hated "by members of your own household." My daughter legally married another woman and doesn't associate with a "religious fanatic" like me, anymore. I also have a granddaughter who is about to do the same, and it breaks my heart to hurt her by declining to be there. Still, to be honest, I will outwardly love them every time The LORD gives me a chance... as long as my words and actions honor and please our King Jesus, because He is always 1st in my heart and life. (Thank you for this video. I'm praying for your peace and protection, and I'd ask the same for me and my family, especially my lost loved ones.)

This is certainly discouraging. I wondered how long it'll be before he invites Andy Stanley as guest speaker.

Alistair’s teachings are reminiscent of another British alistair (Crowley) who said, “do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.”

I was just reading about him (Aleister Crowley), he's an occultist, and another of his famous quotes is "the key to joy is disobedience" 😬😬

Well, if you say he's not a false preacher, then he's what Jesus called wolves in sheep clothing. If one preaches falsely, you don't double down to run away from wrong. You should be able to apologise publicly. No one should believe him,he's sold out to the LGBTQ money. He's so full of pride and himself to the point where arrogantly he's defiant to not apologise.what does British evangelical or American evangelical got to do with the gospel of the lord Jesus?

This is a tricky question. If someone makes a misstatement out of ignorance or just as a mistake, are they a false teacher? I would say no. Given that Alistair Begg has doubled down and said he will not repent, even though it seems clear that this is an unbiblical stance, does that make him a false teacher? I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions

@@toolegittoquit_001 Yes, he is. Why is he not standing for the truth. Jesus tell his deciples not to be ashamed of the gospel? When one makes a misjudgement and refuses to acknowledge and apologise for. It's just a sign of more misjudgement coming ,that will sway people away from the truth.

He was more worried about the grandmother's relationship with her grandson then he was about her grandson's relationship with JESUS, this is tragic. I'd never call Alistair a false teacher but he needs to recognize his sin and repent.

He is a false teacher, misguiding his congregation sending them to 🔥 He is deceived and deceiving others, the wide not narrow path. True, he cares more about the woman's relationship with her kid instead of what is important, relationship with God. Apostacy as prophesied in the last days. Maranatha ❤️

Begg took a page directly out of Keller's abominable book _The Prodigal God._ He apparently doesn't understand the difference between a penitent and a proud, obstinate sinner, and he definitely doesn't understand what makes a Pharisee.

King Saltine approves this message!!! Love your channel

A man as well educated as Alistair Begg knows that John the Baptist would condemn that type of union. The fact that AB has reacted harshly to his critics is once again proof of what pride can do to any one. Hope he repents and recognizes his failings.

Absolutely! Well said !❤

Very well said, Fight for Truth Media!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Judgement Day will give him the truthful answers! Stay strong brother Colin, I enjoy your message. God bless and Keep you spot On.

1 Timothy 4:1 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. We should certainly be disappointed when a prominent teacher falls, but not surprised.

When his show got taken off the radio and all the great ministries that were preaching alongside of him have now come out with videos saying he was wrong, (MacArthur & Ligonier) you’d think he would humble himself and ask… “Why am I alone in this?” There is a pride here that is sad and equally disturbing. God bless Colin🙏✝️

Well, if he thinks this way, England will embrace him now, he should go back, since the church there is very welcoming to sinners to keep sinning. He's showing his sin of pride, what a hypocrite.

THANK YOU FOR REACHING TO THIS LEVEL AND EXPOSING THIS HERESY! If I was younger, I would marry you!

What’s more, Alistair might just have twisted scripture. For the Parable of the Prodigal Son points out that the sinning younger brother, realized he was unworthy of forgiveness, and yet still preferred to go back to his father, hoping for any modicum of mercy, even to the point of giving himself into slavery to his father, with no expectation of reward. Those who engage in gay unions and indeed all other manner of sin, are to see themselves as the younger brother, the prodigal son. While it doesn’t discount the unforgiving nature of the older brother, the parable does not warrant us embracing and encouraging sinners as they willfully engage in sin.

Mr begg forgot (maybe it’s only a nuance in American) when one is in a hole. The first thing to do is stop digging.

Thank you Colin. This was an excellent commentary on Alistair Begg's "defense" of his error on this subject. I pray he will realize he is not following Scripture in this particular case.

It is interesting that most people in the church will never stand up and say something. They say things like, "I wouldn't do that, but that is between him and God." May I remind these people what Ezekiel 3:14-27 say? Read it.

Are you going to glorify God or glorify something else? Unfortunately, in this case, Alistair chose poorly

Pride is the major downfall of many. Proverbs 16:18-20 KJV: Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

Notice too that he said he may and would give someone else different advice if the need arose. This is situational ethics guys. Telling one person to go to this wedding but telling someone else in a similar situation to not go is situational ethics and is not how we should make moral decisions as Christians. God makes things like this topic clear. There is no room for us to cherry pick what God says. So yes, there is a double standard here, but it’s even more grievous. It is a falling away from the authority of God’s Word on this topic.

This is what happens when people start to blur the lines between being a Christian and being conformed to the world. You can't be both. This is exactly what satan wants because he knows his time is running out. Jesus is King.

Alistair, should I attend my niece's sacrifice to Baal? I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Should I give a gift?

His analogy is off. The "Prodigal" has not returned but remains in the "Far Country." Begg says we should pretend he is at home while he remains abroad.

Exactly! The Prodigal did not party off his father's inheritance while living under his father's roof.

Thank you my brother for this podcast that should help a lot of people understand what we’re going to be facing and what the Catholic pope and this pastor is succumbing to.

Jesus dined with sinners, yes, so He could preach the gospel to them at that time. Why do I doubt much gospel preaching goes on at gay weddings?

Thank you Colin!! I have been watching you for a few years now and you have been used by the Lord to help build my gift of decernment,I’m now an associate minister at a local church…thank you for your service..lol I miss the map background

PRAISE THE LORD PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME FATHER PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME📖🙏🕊️

I'm surprised that you didn't go through rom. 1 dealing with exactly this. The last verse is very clear about Christians involvement in homosexual weddings

Well done young man!!!

I attended Parkside for many years. I feel as though during his “defense” or “rebuttal” sermon, he was directly attacking me. Calling me a pharisee and a hypocrite. I lived under his teaching and excellent biblical expository preaching for many years while growing up in the church. I have since moved and hour south and attend a different church as of several years ago. However, I still listened to him and Truth For Life a lot. Having said all of that, I vehemently disagree with his reasoning and what he had to say both in his advice he gives to the grandmother and to his rebuttal/ response sermon. It seems to me that he cared so much for the human relationship between the grandmother and her granddaughter that he would rather save and mend the human relationship, potentially, at the expense of the heavenly one. If sharing the gospel with your family and friends ruins the relationship between your family and friends because of their extreme protest and their hard heartedness and their refusal to accept you and that you believe in the gospel, then so be it. We are to love these people that are far from God. We are to love them in supporting their needs to get rid of the sin that they are living in. We are to tell them about Jesus and about the gospel. We dont turn them away, or cast them off the cliff or take the Jonah approach to Nineveh, or tell them they cant come to church. We love them! Take them in and help them overcome the sin in their life with Gods grace, supernatural power and through prayer. We dont go to events celebrating them and the sinful choices they make. Our job is to love God and tell others about Jesus. Not to love God and make sure we have good human relationships at all costs. Which is why Paul wrote “if possible as far as it depends in you, strive to live at peace with everyone” and not “be sure to live at peace with everyone at all costs even if it means compromising on your beliefs and what the bible has to say… We don’t compromise and water down the bible to make it more palatable to people. The bible is what it is. The inerrant word of God just as applicable in Jesus’ day as it is in ours. And if we alter it to present it as this milk-toast “all are welcome no matter what you believe and no matter what lifestyle you live” you are a heretic. Im not calling Alistair a heretic, please don’t misunderstand me. To be clear, all are welcome to come to church. All are welcome to believe. But becoming a bible-believing Christ follower comes with big life changes. You cannot continue to live in a sinful unrepentant lifestyle as you did before. When you become and Christian, the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and changes you. The old is gone and the new has come. There is an outward expression of an inward change. You cannot live in an unrepentant sinful lifestyle as you did before. I digress. We are to love God and tell others about Jesus. If telling others about the gospel and about Jesus and about His grace and love and truth ruins a human relationship, then so be it. That doesn’t mean you stop praying for them or stop telling them about Jesus. But, if they want nothing to do with you and hate you for your faith and dont want to talk to you, then, as far as it was up to you, you tried to live at peace with them. Then you shake the dust off your sandals and move on continuing to pray for them. My point is, if in not attending the wedding the grandmother ruined her relationship with her grandson because she stuck to her faith and her convictions and didn’t compromise on her faith and what the Bible teaches, then so be it. In my opinion, if Alistair wants to point the gun of hypocrisy at me then it makes sense to me that it would be far more hypocritical to espouse such beliefs and then attend the wedding anyway… So while I dont think people should leave Parkside on mass, thats a decision for each person to make. Alistair has faithfully served and preached for over 40 years! I dont think he is “for gay marriage” and I dont think he has an “affirming” mindset. And while I absolutely disagree with his advice and felt attacked and judged by him during his response, I think this is just a red flag. If his preaching starts to have these themes more often, then I think it would be wise to leave and go somewhere else.

I used to listen to Begg and never thought that he would go so far off the rails. No justification for it. Will not listen to him anymore.

Begg would rather have the approval of man/society on this matter because he knows that if he voices repentance for his error, he and his ministry business will experience the wrath of those who oppose God's word. In other words, in this matter, it certainly appears that Begg is more afraid of man than of God.

He was quick to insult the very people ( American Evangelicalism) that have been paying his salary for the past 40+ years!

Yes! Wow.

Good job! I know many good Christians who did their best to maintain relationships with homosexual children who did not compromise. Usually when they had to draw a line, the sinner was the one who defaulted on the relationship. How must they feel now when they are told that drawing the line was the wrong thing to do? So sad for Alister to create confusion!!!

Thank you for always reminding us to pray for this channel and for anyone mentioned in the video 🙏🏽

I dont know what the issue is. Gay weddings are great.

God's word prophesied that we'd once again be able to distinguish between one who serves God and one who does NOT. (Ephesians 5, v. 11), "And have NO fellowship with the unfruitful WORKS of darkness, but rather REPROVE them."

Colin is absolutely correct. In order to follow the teachings of Jesus - by the Bible, sometimes we must break away from those who will not Repent, and stand alone. Does anyone in the Faith think Satan will never try to destroy ministers or the Gospel? I cite, unfortunately, the tragic fall of Luis Palau..

Colin... A "wedding" is not a celebration of a union between, "2 people", it's a union before God between 1 MAN AND 1 WOMAN... Words Matter!!! Its not just the parables he uses but the words that show his motive... "Contaminated"??? That is an emotional manipulation that comes directly from the "community". This is how they put you on the defensive... I guess Alistair hadn't heard Sinclair Ferguson's response to his "advice". For me, this goes way deeper than him just giving "advice". After giving that advice, he contemplated it and decided to include it in a book about "Christianity". And after writing it in the book, he contemplated again, and decided to tell the world about his "advice" using it as a selling point for the book... We are not talking about advice given in private that came out later. This whole situation was a long time plan for the outcome of his book... This has been going on in his soul for a long time for him to be brave enough to not just say it, but write about it, brag about it to sell his book and arrogantly say he has nothing to repent of. And his comment of "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling", was "Pilot" washing his hands after handing Jesus over...

Great rebuke. Thank you.

If we observe, the Father in the prodigal son story didn't chase after the younger son. The Father waited for the younger son to see the error of his ways and find his way back home and then the Father celebrated the youngers son's redemption.

I noticed that he’s not looking many of the congregants in the eye. to me that’s very telling

I've often wondered whether " celebrity" pastors are being blackmailed when they suddenly change their stance on Biblical Truth.

Excellent breakdown & analysis my Scripture loving Brother ! Beggs horrendously off the mark Scripture passages he SAYS apply but don't, his condescending "Anglosphere" theologically uppity attitude & calling anyone holding to Scriptural norms a Pharisee, taken together all BEG (pun intended) the question: Why, exactly, won't he admit he blew it ? Does somebody have something on him ? He owes favors ? Ya got me ! This goes beyond rationality and cannot be understood by the part of the Iceberg that is visible.

It’s not about his own thinking… it’s about The Word of God so he is already starting wrong. The pastor was more concerned about the grandmother’s relationship with her confused grandson when he should have been more concerned with the way God sees the situation. The pastor’s of today are going to be judged for leading people straight to eternal destruction. Their blood is on his hands for not telling them the truth of what God’s Word says concerning their relationship. The grandma knows it’s wrong and that is why she went to the pastor. God will judge the pastor for supporting this abomination and for placing emotional pressure above the word of God. As The Body of Christ… Jesus Christ is our final authority. What He says is law. You can never justify sin so If God says it’s an abomination well then…it’s an abomination. He can not twist the scripture to justify his WRONG decision as a pastor.

Hey Collin,,, I was wondering if you had a video on the doctrine you follow.... I looked for a bit but honestly with that many videos, Its like looking for a needle in a haystack. So I was wondering if you could point me to one.

Hey, this mind virus that we are seeing everywhere including some of our own family members is very powerful and highly contagious. Praying and voting correctly is the only possible cure. I only have time to protect and immune my own immediate children right now. As many of you know that is a full time job. AB perhaps has the fever!

Sin Sick cowardly preachers leading people in the wrong direction. It’s happening everywhere. Real Christians of all creeds and colors are about to find out that we are now the minorities in America . Satan’s people have even started after school clubs in Cordova Tennessee. Pray for Sin sick minds to be renewed by the power of The Holy Spirit and by all means watch your children.

Thank you Colin for all that you do. God bless you and your family.

There are NEVER two views of Scripture. I always thought that every true Christian was guided by "What Saith The Scripture"?

These parables would make sense in this context if the gay son had repented and came back to Christ. But to "Celebrate" his "wedding" would mean the woman in the parable celebrated losing the coin, or the father celebrated the prodigal LEAVING

I believe he's being proud.

An Excellent video. Blessings!
