    When God rained manna from heaven, some fried it, some baked it, and some boiled it. They all made it according to their taste. Not much has changed. Burger King is the church today. Have it your way. Paul wrote, “God is not a man that He should lie”. Leviticus 20:13 Galatians 5:16-21 1 Timothy 1:10 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 Romans 1:26,27 Jude 1:7 Revelation 22:15-21

    Leviticus is a dead law, so God says almost 40 times in the NT....only modern bibles add in the word homosexual to 1 Timothy 1:10 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 so adding to Gods word is ok now..... Romans is paul condemning heterosexuals he knew doing same sex acts in idolotry and so the rest is lies from the homophobic community.

    Alright, so I listened to the whole thing through and I have a couple of points/questions. 1. You stated in the title of the video that this is “how to make this the last Pride month” which in my opinion is a BOLD claim. The only thing I heard was “get involved at the rallies, disrupt them, get your representatives involved”. Even if you were able to match their numbers, do you really think this would deter pride month’s existence in 2025? Like it might shrink or even disappear in conservative areas, but you’re going to need a lot more than “counter them on the streets this month”. In my estimation, either you’d need to produce legislation with a national ban on anything pride month related in the next 12 months, or get Devine intervention involved having God strike down every pride event that pops up. Because with enough public pushback this movement will likely just shift to private venues. 2. I didn’t hear an actual refutation of the “some people are born this way” that you brought up, which is maybe the biggest argument on the LGBT side. I have yet to hear Christians in your camp lay out a practical plan for same sex attracted Christians (those who have begged God to take the desire away) to combat the plague of loneliness. “Oh, you have your church family!” Really? You really think that the average church would accept an SSA Christian as one of their own? Would you? Get real.

    Thanks for the comment and listening to the whole thing. For point 1, By implementing these things, we do believe these are necessary for ending Pride month. For your second point, the topic wasn't to answer such objections, though I'll look into making another episode on that topic. But also on this note, I do have another video I did, "Can You Be A Gay Christian"? where I answer that question, so I'll direct you to that one. God bless!

    The idea that gays are “ born that way” comes from a book called “ After the Ball. How Ameeica will conquer its fear and hatred of gays in the 90’s” by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. This book is out of print , but is available as a pdf. In this book the authors sdmit that saying gays are born that way is a tactic to make people believe that gays can not change, and to creat a victim narrative for gays. The authors say that what makes a person say they are gay is much more complex and involves many factors …. And in many casss involves childhood sexual abuse , and mental illness . This book ( After the Ball) was written by prominent homosexual activitists for the specific purposes of normalizing homosexuality innAmeeica, it lays out tactics to achieve this, how to take to the media, which stories to promote and what stories to suppress and deny, it says that homosexuals should make sure that pride events , and events celebrating homosexuality should be “ toned down” , with less nudity and no S and M, no overt sexual,acts or simulating sexual acts because the public would be disgusted by these things . The whole premise of this book is like a communist manifesto, but it’s a homosexual,revolution that it talks about…….telling homosexual activists how to hide the disgusting aspects of homosexuality … and any negative story that involves homosexuals even to the point of telling homosexual advocates to emphasize and showcase lesbian activities as opposed to male homosexual activies and relationships, because the public will be more sympathetic to women and the sex act between women is it as offensive and disgusting as the sex act between men! The homosexual advocates are told to make sure that the media gets and positive or “feel good” story that involves homosexuality , and make sure that their homosexuality is emphasized, to create the image of perfectly happy, comitted , monogamous and “normal” relationships and even families where the parents are a homosexual couple. This book was written to make homosexuality normal , using whatever tactics that they could legally use, manipulation, outright lies, lawsuits, whatever it tool. Anyone who is talking about homosexuality in America today needs to read this book.

    About point 2: Same sex attraction that is indulged in and not nipped in the bud immediately is a sin, just like being tempted by porn or married women or children is also a sin. As christians we are to confess our sins to God and one another. We need accountability and support. Most sins are hard to overcome, especially those we have indulged and allowed to grow for years. God is not constrained. Tell him your faults. Ask for a change in your desires, then live with confidence that it will be granted. Live your life in obedience to Him. Go ahead and marry as God leads, let your spouse know you struggle with this sin and God Bless You. May God bless you always.

    Let's say people are born that way hypothetically: When you come to Christ, you are born again, made into a new creation, so it does not matter how you were born. We are all born into sin and struggle with it. But when we are saved our hearts change and we hate those bad things we used to love.

    The problem with ecumenism is that it gets to the point where absolutely unreconcilable differences are simply brushed over for unity’s sake, and eventually, people get it in their heads that not just different denominations of Christianity but completely different religions ought to collaborate and worship together. The WCC was willing to boil down the terms of agreement to the bare minimum, and they’re paying for it by their Christian emphasis being replaced by wokeism.

    While I agree that we should call out these practices as being against the word of God, I think the methods you want us to do are going to be non affective evangelism at best and damaging to the faith at worst. While making our stance against these things clear, I think it would be best to be in these areas and offer to spread the gospel for all those who are willing to hear. Maybe offering water to all and telling them that Jesus loves them and died to atone for the sins of all and that all they need to do is give their hearts to Him.🙏 We must use the approach of Jesus, to approach them with love and show them that they should change their ways in a loving way. Assuring them that we are all not worthy of salvation but God gives us it as a gift. And that we must turn from our old ways🙏❤️

    What an egregious use of gods name. As a gay Christian myself, do you think this is gods greatest concern? God made everyone the way they are. Trust me, in what world would i pick being gay? Loving a man is not worth potentially losing my family. This is a very close minded approach to the world as a Christian. We are meant to be open minded and talk to people, not to condemn and discriminate. No one is going to listen to the raving madman at pride, I know this cuz when I go, no one does. There’s no hope in talking to that person yelling at everyone to repent, they’re not going to convince anyone with that method. In gods eyes all sins are equal. It is the church and people using religion to cover their bigotries that think being gay is the biggest afront to god. I pray that people who think ending pride month is what a Christian needs to focus on in this day and age, to actually do something to be helpful and spread gods love, not condemnation in his name.

    why would anyone choose to be born with an addiction to a substance? people are, it's genetic, doesn't make their overindulgence in a substance any less sinful, nor does it necessarily mean them being born that way is a consequence of God's direct will. it is entirely possible that such things are a direct consequence of man's will or indirectly as a consequence of original sin. the circumstances of our birth which lead us towards certain predilections are a matter of circumstances beyond our own control but that is merely what they are, circumstances, they do not inherently constitute an identity, let alone an identity to take pride in.

I’m 30, gay and can count on my two hands how many partners I’ve had. Lots of “gays” take antidepressants and don’t even have a sec drive. You’re stereotyping and not sitting sources. Sorry you hate us so much, but you are not focusing on god. As a gay person, I find this video disturbing and scary. You’re doing nothing but pushing people away from your god. I think your God would prefer you speaking truth that will bring people to him, not run away.

    For some reason KZread's Algo thought I'd be interested in this video. It runs entirely contrary to my positions, and the proper thing to do would be not engage. If I was feeling particularly motivated I could comb it for hate speech and incitement (since it appears you are looking to incite harassment of pride events) and send my findings to hate-watch organizations. (They have lawyers who are better at estimating if there are legal recourses). But maybe instead I can provide useful insight: 🔹Jesus might warn you that looking to the sin of others is not the path to your own salvation and spiritual well-being. This is a common problem in the LGBT+ community too. There's now a delightful index of gender representations and sexualities so that a questioning person can better decide who they are and how they identify. But it gets very tempting to try to apply this to other people in a community where identities and behaviors don't always perfectly match. Gatekeeping happens. Someone might assert that no true Lesbian likes sugar in her porridge, but it's not our place to judge our fellow queer if they're queering correctly. It's much the same way among Christians: it's our place to look to our own ways, sinful or otherwise, and be more like God, than to judge others for how they fail to toe the line. (Though if you do have to fixate on the sins of others, and do so openly, it will reinforce stereotypes of Christian disciples as as a crude, callous and judgemental lot, and further drive the hemorrhaging of parishioners from ministries.)🪵👁😢 🔹COIN (That is Counter-insurgency -- a study both older than Jesus but also with many advancements in recent centuries) tells us that running interference with counter-protests only legitimizes demonstrators. It shows them that their grievance not only valid, but there are visible antagonists to their cause that are glad to oppress them. The effect is far greater if the opposing force are state agents. Police action shows to the public there is a real effort to suppress the voices of a people, which, left unchecked, can turn into ethnic cleansing or genocide. It's so dangerous that it's curious how often states respond to demonstrations with force, since they should actually know better. Observers become sympathists . Sympathists join the cause. Adherants become active. Activists become radicalized. Trump's response to the 2020 unrest in the US over the death of George Floyd presents a strong example, as does the Iranian response to the protestors of the death of Mahsa Amini. The US is currently very divided, and in fact, FBI _expects_ terror action against pride events, and is prepare. But if your efforts to disrupt pride events are successful, the LGBT+ community will respond in greater force. If you choose to get violent, they'll double in numbers and bring guns. If the police attack them with anti-riot weapons, the whole world will stand with LGBT+ Pride in solidarity. 🔹There is actually a way to end pride, or make it less significant, though it will take time. It is this: Accept them into your fold, not to change them (they have to change themselves, and choose how they change) but to sincerely include them into your own. (This is not about hating the sin and pressuring them to stop. It's more like accepting that we all have our indulgences and habits, that none of us are perfect exemplars.) For instance, you might notice that Italian Americans don't have to have pride celebrations or special holidays here in the States, even though in the early 20th century they were othered like the Irish and the Chinese. With time, they were integrated into the mainstream culture. Do that with the LGBT+ folk and they'll happily blend in and be as perfect Christians as you are today. Some will even attend church services. Or not. A lot of people, once they interpret divine commands (specifically the ones they like 🐪🪡💰) are glad to adhere to them despite the expected consequences. But it's wise to beware the destination of the proverbial train before you buy a ticket to ride.

    I’d rather have homelessness than child sacrifice and mutilation … it’s all echoes, spirals and imprints. We don’t learn from the past and repeat the failures expecting different results, we know truth but rebel, and rebellion begets lawlessness. When you don’t know the law because your elders rebel and teach you falsehoods you wrestle with what you think you know but haven’t seen yourself. Christ continue says “Deny YOURSELF” and he is The Way, The Truth, and The Life yet people try to “broaden” that narrow path in order to EXALT THEMSELVES above the truth. Disbelieve if you choose, at your own peril, but you absolutely can’t force the truth to bend to your own distortion.

Currently I’m mapping out the Holy Bible. I’m showing the through line of God to Life (Genesis to Revelation) and from Serpent to Death. If I give you the answers it won’t mean much but I can give some directions pointing to them. Noah - Ham -Flood - Cush - Nimrod. Look what Nimrod did, who he worshipped, his wife and what she did after he died. Observe the “echoes” from Civilization to Civilization, the “spirals” or decent deeper and deeper or in other words the progressions, and the “imprint” of the surgeon or butcher/ the healer or destroyer. Moloch, Ba’al (Ba’al Peor and what that translates to) … the Egyptian gods, Greek and Roman Gods …. All echoes of the same … Palmyra’s arch and what that actually is … the opening of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in the UK* (in your face ritual specifically showing and naming the Tower of Babel and a ritual of Ba’al worship) … Then see how the “church” has “affirmed, accepted, embraced” the breaking of the Porneia Codes in Leviticus and what the surrounding lands were doing at the time it was written. Abortion to Moloch and Ba’al. Transitioning emotionally, physically and spiritually the chemistry and physiology of children … mutilation. I pray that helps you to understand.
