Rather than asking in what way Jesus was influenced by 1st century Jewish society and its values, it is probably more helpful to ask in what ways am I unduly influenced by 21st century American society and its values. In order to attain holiness I need to conform to Christ, not the other way around.

Maybe it could be something as simple as someone approaching u in this month about your belief in the afterlife. Maybe they mention Jesus directly to you.

As someone who has same-sex attractions and is endeavoring to hold fast to Church teachings, thank you for saying this for myself and others to hear again. Unfortunately, people like Father Martin often build a bridge too far in trying to alleviate the existential fear that living a chaste life will result in us dying alone. Cases like that cause them to become enablers of grave sins instead of men like Father Mike Schmitz that we really need.

Jesus never spoke a single word about homossexuality like Paul did, and BTW, there's a lot of debate whether the greek word MALAKOI really means gay in the context it was written, becase it's NEVER used to decribe homossexuals in ANY other ancient greek documents

@@paisanoarbr Homosexuality is not seen as identitarian in religion, that is a modern evil, it is seen as a disruptive transgressive act, which offends God and religion, whereas the rigid identitarian imposition is a trap. Much of generic concretization is an unsophisticated trap. Religion offers the choice to say no to spoilt identities. Homosexual impulses have a positive and negative origins. What sex positive marketing refuses to allow discussed is sexual disgust can be 1) be eroticised (paradoxical response,) 2) a trauma avoidance response. Repetition compulsion. 3) fear also has a part to.play in avoidance, 4) as does human contrariness in the face of a tabu, the wormy apple.

Lol So everytime a couple meets it will lead to procreation That’s bizarre 🤣 That analogy is weak Cos procreation isn’t d purpose of sex It’s intimacy. Even God didn’t create every scenario to lead to a baby A variety of factors come into play It’s those factors we are smart enough to use today for family planning But in EVERY SCENARIO sex is meant to build INTIMACY Infact that’s d EVIDENCE of misuse or abuse of sex WHEN ITS NOT USED TO BUILD INTIMACY like wen it’s all about INSTANT GRATIFICATION Or a partner uses d other persons body to get off 🤦🏽♀️ That’s what the brothers did as narrated by Jesus in Mathew 19:8-9 Having sex that doesn’t lead to procreation is not a testament to the “unholiness” of a sexual act (Oral and other forms of sex don’t lead to procreation) That’s a ridiculous perception shared by old scholars who perceived family planning to be sinful Their interpretation was the ACT OF WITHDRAWAL ITSELF was the SIN 🤦🏽♀️ What makes anything a sin IS THE INTENTION the brothers withdrew out of wickedness of heart Wanting to reserve her as a sex tool not a legitimate wife cos the culture didn’t recognise any woman who had not bore a child as a man’s legitimate wife THATS WHAT MASE GID STRIKE THEM DEAD NOT THE SIMPLE ACT OF PULLING OUT BUT THE REASON BEHIND That’s why it’s only God who can truly judge a man Cos only God sees the heart of a man 💁🏽♀️

REALLY so we can still murder rude kiddies and kill all who have sex out of marriage as the old law says.....(lev 20;9-10) ....why did Jesus bother to die for us if he fulfilled nothing? Jesus is also God btw and God said marriage was also 1 man and many wives in the OT...did God lie?
Another thing to consider when debating supporters of same-sex couplings/marriage within the church is the fact that they would say that Christ said x because he was a man of his time is blasphemy on it's face and we shouldn't be afriad to accuse them of it when they do so. To suggest that something Christ said is in any regard wrong or only true in that time suggests imperfection on the part of God who is perfect by his divine nature. If someone says something that contradicts Christ, they are contradicting God because Christ is the Second person of Trinity which means he is God and God cannot err, and if you contradict God you are wrong period. And if any man says he knows more than God he is either insane or a liar and should be treated in the way which you would treat either one of those.

Father Martin's rhetorical style reminds me of Original Temptation to Eve: Now the serpent ... said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Father Martin undermines morality by instantiating doubt about morality by seemingly conflating obsolete dietary or ritual laws with eternal moral laws in order to undermine them by juxtaposing what appears to be ridiculous with what is licit and moral. In other words, it's a nuanced straw-man argument. Exaggerate the truth of morality by adding to it what we know to be untenable. Then attack this exaggeration and seem to win. Brian sees right through this and so do many at least subconsciously.

Excellent presentation! You concisely and logically show how Fr. Martin's "bridge" has no foundation in the Truth of Jesus Christ. "Have you not read..." indeed.

How many in the churches have had more than one spouse? According to Jesus, they are all adulterers and have made others adulterers, too. Even looking upon a woman with lust, is adultery in your heart. What's the Old Testament penalty for adultery? What did Jesus say about False Prophets? Matthew 24: 24. What did Jesus teach about that Temple in Jerusalem? Was Trump CHOSEN BY GOD to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem? "Oh shut up! Silly woman." said the reptile Donald with a grin. "You KNEW damn well I was a Snake, BEFORE you took me in. I'm going to bite you right on the pussy." So MANY so Horribly taught. The Rapture is a LIE. "Left Behind" is ass-backward fiction. Matthew 13: 30. Final judgement for the devil and dragon (Revelation 12: 12-13) is set for 10/10/26. Daniel 7: 9-14.

This is a good video, and I agree with your conclusion, but it isn’t what I was expecting. What I was expecting was for you to cite Romans 1:26-27, which refers to homosexual relationships as “dishonorable passions.” Maybe Jesus didn’t directly state “homosexuality is a sin” during His 30-ish years as a man, but He communicates through others such as Paul, Moses, etc. There’s a reason that the Bible is more than just the four gospels.

Excellent video Brian. As soon as you accept an excuse or explanation to change one set of established doctrine, you open an excuse or explanation to change everything and that bridge definitely leads to hell.
With regard to interpretation of Holy Scripture, is there some structure or are there any guidelines as to when one is meant to focus on any one of the four ways of interpreting it? As a simple example, how does one understand whether the "seven days" of creation is meant to be interpretted literally as days or more from a poetic sense instead? I know that it is already possible to find exegesis that is approved by our Church, but I'm interested in knowing what makes a particular interpretation standout as the true interpretation.

Actually, Jesus DOES condemn the practice. The Greek word for “fornication” or “sexual immorality” (depending on the translation) is “porneia,” which encompasses any sexual practice between people not married to each other, which would by default include homosexual practice. Jesus uses the word “porneia” in the gospels, meaning He addressed the issue, even if it was not as directly as other sins. I’d also like to point out that, if we’re going to go down the “Jesus didn’t say it” road, that Jesus didn’t specifically address rape or incest either. So according to the logic of Martiin, rape and incest are also okay. And finally, it is also a subtle jab at the authority of St. Paul’s apostolic letters, as the issue is also addressed in Romans 1, I Corinthians 6, and I Timothy 1.

I lost my faith and found a new one in Hellenism and philosophy. Lately I've been struggling with it and wanted to believe in God again, so i started looking at videos to help me. Its videos like these that push me further away. Why would our all loving God make ME this way then SHUN ME? Why would he love me but hate me? Why make me this way if i'm apparently damned from the start? Why would a God that loves me force these feelings onto me and then tell me i'm wrong?

Hello Theprusian, I read your message and I would like to reply. Sorry my English is not perfect, I am from the Netherlands. I am also bisexual and I recognized myself in your situation. I know how difficult the struggle with faith and sexuality is. Not many people can empathize with homosexuals, and they make wrong comments. I read a lot of hate comments on messages posted by gay Christians. It's almost impossible to save LGBTIs if you make wrong comments. It seems that many straight Christians hate gay Christians, and for that reason make wrong comments, they have no battle with sexuality in their lives and have no compassion. Some homosexuals will probably leave the Christian life after reading these negative comments. Don't make your choice based on homophobic comments. These people who post homophobic comments cannot empathize with the struggle that homosexuals have. It's not easy, but reject the frustrations of these negative comments. Ignore these negative comments, and do not pay attention to these messages. Forgive these people who post these messages, and reject hatred if you are Christian. Love your enemies is what God asks of us. (Matthew 5:44 & Matthew 6:14) Love God above all and your neighbor as yourself, think about why you post texts. (Matthew 22:39 & 1 John 3:15) Theprusian, I also sometimes feel frustrated when it comes to my sexuality and faith. I see so many gay christians struggling with their sexuality, It makes me sad. It is important to know that time is short because the return of Jesus Christ is very soon. It is also important to make the right choice and set priorities. There are people who have doubts. Is sex before marriage a sin, is homosexuality a sin? They have these questions because they do not believe the scriptures and interpret them differently. It is understandable, there are homoseksuals who find it difficult to give up their gay lifestyle. People are so beautiful and perfect made by God, It is understandable that you can find people of your own gender beautiful and fall in love. You will have to fight when you get thoughts that become between you and God. (James 4:7) If you decide to fight, it is important to know that the battle takes place in the mind. Your lustful thoughts, thoughts in the flesh can stand between God and you. I want you to know that after the fall into sin, humanity has entered mortal flesh. It is important to know, there are no struggles in heaven, we no longer struggle in the flesh. Because, we receive a new glorified body, we no longer live in the flesh in heaven. We no longer have a body of flesh and blood. (1 Corinthians 15:44 - 1 Corinthians 15:50 - 2 Corinthians 5:1-6 KJV) It is important to make the right choice be saved. It is a choice between eternal life and death. Be willing to give up your life to receive eternal life. (Lucas 9:23-24) We are not destined for this earthly life, this world is a temporary residence for humanity. It is important to be ready on time for the second coming of Jesus Christ, there is not much time left, Jesus' second coming is very close. Stay strong, believe in yourself! Jesus return is near Love you 🩷 ✝️ 🙏

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Mathew 5:17 This means Jesus accepted the Old Testament on homosexuality among other sins.
The first part of this verse is literally translated as "And with a male you shall not lay lyings of a woman"( With a male,you cant have sex on the bed of a woman" )is what its saying,and that means a woman's bed is not to be adulterated with sperm emissions from another man,since a woman can only have her husband's emissions in her bed. They were strict on sperm defilement back then. This was done secularly and pagan religiously too where the pagan priestess's bed was her witness of two males having the affair ,as one male gave emission offering to her male priest. The 18:21 has a pagan practice mentioned right before verse 22,and this is all about pagan practices related to their religion as well.

@@hemiolaguy Ezekiel, speaking for God, says that Sodom had “pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy” (16:49). In the very next verse though, the Lord says that “they [the inhabitants of Sodom] were haughty and did abominable things before me” (16:50). In context, the prophet is listing Sodom’s sins: pride, excess comforts, ignoring the needs of the poor, haughtiness, and the commission of “abominable things.” Since the writer of Leviticus defines homosexual activity as an “abomination” (Lev. 18:22), we can conclude that the “abominable things” Ezekiel mentions are homosexual acts.
