Ignore all of these so called Christians to their hateful rhetorics. The Bible has been translated many times, even for homosexuality in 1946. For some reason marrying the same gender is worse then murder and sleeping with underaged children (looking at YOU, certain pastors). The backhanded responses in our community is unfortunately led astray. This was a wonderful TED Talk, May God bless you in His light ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

lgbt is sinful

After reading the comments I've come to my conclusion... for the people who preach gods word and say you can't sin to get into heaven are breaking that rule by directly insulting people, you should be doing what God does and be accepting of all. The only thing the people ask is respect, you don't even have to like them but the obsession people have with going after the lgbtq seems generally unhealthy

Although I agree with the majority of this message, I disagree with how it is presented. It is possible to love someone without accepting a sinful part of them. We are ALL sinners and Jesus loves us fully despite this. This is why He died for us. He made a way for us to have forgiveness. Its still on us to accept Himand to change outselves to be more like Him. That being said, I proudly affirm and accept the LGBT+ community. Being queer is a gift and no one should make you feel ashamed for this. Being queer and acting on it, embracing it isnt a sin. It's a blessing.

To any queer people who have given up christianity because of condemnation in the church, I encourage you to please dont give up on Christ. He doesnt view you as wrong or sinful for being queer. The church has been at fault for this wrongful bigotry. Please try to find an affirming community of believers to share your life and experiences with. It may be hard, but it's getting easier every day as more and more churches are becoming educated and learning to accept you.

This lady is so so wrong in a lot of what she says. It's hyper emotionally charged and not an ounce of logic or theology or scripture to support what she's saying. A waste of a Ted talk. Idolatry. Repent and believe in Christ for dying for your sins. Call out to the Lord and confess with your mouth and believe in your heart and you will be saved. People need to really start there and not look for people who say what you want them to say to tickle your ears.

Her point was not to refute the claim that "the bible condemns homoxesuality" but to inform you of the harm such a position does. People have suffered greatly and even died as a direct result. As she said at the end, there are plenty of resources that explain what you need to know. There's also a new book out, concise and easy to read, by Jonathan Tallon. Please also be careful about misapplying scripture. The tickled ears are of those who justify wrongdoing, like those who give in to humanity's basest instinct of suspicion towards those who are different, who thank God they're "not like that tax collector", who like to oppress the vulnerable. It's not about those who promote love.

Homosexuality goes against what scripture says about it. God never tells us to follow our hearts or feelings. He says deny yourself pick up your cross and follow me. I understand the battle of temptation,bait of Satan and our flesh but we must crucify what goes against the word of God. The Bible will not ever change to fit what we want. God help us all deny ourselves,heal, be delivered from what grieves you and give us hearts after you. Help our straying! Go after the lost sheep!

How

Research on this topic leads nowhere. The politics surrounding this topic are so deep, objective research is not being done or at least being widely publicized. The speaker is wrong, but I understand her. The world doesn't know what to do about lgbt, neither Christians nor queers themselves. It is definitely a sin to act on those feelings. People don't understand how the average queer person is negatively changed by acting on their sinful desires, probably because those who speak out against those sins are silenced. I do believe translations issues occur. But not in like several separate places in the Bible. Homosexuality is referred to, what, six times in the Bible? So how could all those six places be mistranslated? The Bible is a tool, not something to be worshiped, but the vast majority is also true.

You've been down a hard road. I can't imagine what it's been like. But as an atheist, I'm disappointed with the path you chose to cope with it. You remodeled your view of God until he approved of what ever you happened to be. As if the all-powerful God of the universe were that pliable and subject to your wishes. As an atheist, I step back and look at the Bible teaching on LGBTQ people and I've ended up agreeing with the evangelicals' view. You are what you are, and the Bible says what it says. Neither should be warped to accommodate the other. The solution I see is a break between the two. Abandon the Bible whole cloth. Give up on the concept of God. No more compromises. I know, you have so much invested in Christianity throughout your life. You wanted so much to believe in a loving God. It's so hard to walk away from something you've devoted so much of your life and emotional commitments to. How can you admit you were so wrong after all this time? But reality and nature don't care about your mental commitments. Facing up to the fact that you were wrong all along would be the hardest road of all for you to go down. Can you do it?

I know the verses in the bible that condemn against homosexuality. However, You have to take into consideration, that bible is also an historic book, so it was written by people. At the time, homosexuality has mostly been forbidden, which is why paul talked about it so negatively in his letter to romans. So I'm not sure if everything that the Bible says should be taken literally as god's word, cause it was still written by people and times were different back then.
