  1. He's not denying who he is. He's just not letting his sexuality determine his joy and identity, because us Christ followers' joy and identity is found in our Savior. Not ourselves. I think being single forever just like the Apostle Paul and still being full of joy is courageous and should be applauded.

  2. True Christianity is not organized religion, but an intimate relationship with God. Organized religion is legalism, which is the doctrine of the Pharisees, the ones who murdered Jesus.

  4. Because a redefinition of gender and sexuality has massive societal implications. The issue is broader than just about individuals lives. It's about how the redefinition effects other people's lives and their values.

  9.  @thatonemessyartist1760  But the Bible said that he made them man and woman, not infinite genders. And in Matthew 19, Jesus described marriage as the union of a man and a woman. I just don't see any Biblical evidence for the Bible supporting LGBT.

  10. Jesus warned of false teachers rising in the last days. The status of being a pastor is just a level of theological education.

  11. The fact that American Evangelicalism has normalized and propagandized the majority of the American Church to believe that voting Democrat is heretical, is textbook idolatry. The far right Evangelicals literally believe that Trump is divinely anointed by God. They basically worship Him. If you were a Christian that said you were voting for Biden, immediately, you'd have an army of Evangelicals questioning the legitimacy of your faith and salvation, telling you that you've fallen away and need to repent. If you call out a Democrat politician as evil, the American Church will say Amen, but if you call out a Republican politician as evil, the American Church cancels you as a heretic. It's sickening.

  12.  @kiwikiwi2483  Jesus is also a God of justice precisely because He is loving. Love does not equal approval. Obedience is not judgmental and legalistic.

  13. Define love then. Because love and approval are not synonyms. Telling someone the harsh truth so that they can be saved from hell is itself an act of love. Not warning someone of their sin is just like calling someone intolerant for pulling that person back from the edge of a cliff, saving their life. "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them." - Ephesians 5:11

  14. That's what "all." Having a traditional view of marriage and wanting a genocide of all lgbtq people are two very different things. The obvious doesn't always need to be explicitly brought up by name to made clear. Because, you know...it's obvious.

  15. Matthew Vines is academically dishonest. He ignores other verses in the scriptures like in Matthew where just says: "Have you not read that He who made them in the beginning made them male and female? >>For this reason<< a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to His wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

  16. "The Bible says to just love." Define love then. Is love approval? Because that's foolishness. God isn't a just an easy going nice guy who validates everything we do. God is also a God of justice. He has laws precisely because He is loving. That ignorant strawman of "just be loving" is classic Bible cherry picking.

  17.  @kjr3210  My friend, we're not called "to live your own truth." We're called to live God's truth, which is written in His word.

  19.  @ayoubali1082  Honestly, here in America, the general consensus I see is that Jesus is a republican. I rarely Christians here that aren't either passionately or straight up extremely 100% Right. It's ridiculous.

  20. That sounds like satire because it's not even a topic worthy of debate lol

  21.  @pedroyeverino2394  Jesus died to save us from the bondage of our sins so that we could be saved. What do you mean no?

  22. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." - Matthew 16:24 Just like a good Earthly father, God loves us, but also has laws. If you love God, you'll obey His commands. Using God's love as an excuse to keep sinning cheapens and takes advantage of God's grace. It's like apologizing to your parents, then immediately continuing to deliberately disobey them while calling your parents hateful, intolerant, and judgmental for not validating your blatant, unrepentant sin. And that's heretical.

  23.  @misspikapika7972  "Let anyone who wishes to be my disciple deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow Me." - Matthew 16:24 "Jesus answered, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.'" - John 3:5-8 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:1-4 Yes, did call us to repent and be born again. Do not be deceived.

  26.  @supremogeno3344  We're called to follow God. Not the Church. The Church leaders of Jesus's day, the Pharisees, were the ones who murdered Jesus. So an allegiance to a religion rather than a relationship with Jesus is pretty absurd.

  27.  @livid7447  He's not denying the reality of what he's going through. He's just choosing not to act on it. There's a big difference between acknowledging your sexuality and choosing to commit your life to celibacy, and straight up denying the reality of your sexuality. Because the later is lying to yourself, but he wasn't doing that. He's honest about his sexuality and that's very healthy celibacy. It's not repression unless you try to convince yourself that you aren't straight, and that's not healthy.

  28.  @Thisissilly222  God is love and God is joy. Our source of love and joy come only from the Holy Spirit as He is the author of love and joy. God is unchanging (Malachi 8:8). He is always eternal peace, therefore God always satisfies. If we place our source of joy in ourselves or worldly things, we will be dissapointed because circumstances change and we sin and dissapoint ourselves, so our joy will fluxuate as well. Placing your joy in Christ alone secures your peace.

  29. Love and approval are not one in the same thing. What makes someone homophobic is not whether they are affirming or not, but rather how they engage with the culture. Calling them pedoes and their sexuality a lifestyle is just ignorance. We must be slow to speak and quick to listen. Most of the Church today is just don't listen at all, quick to attempt to be right, and call anyone that isn't a conservative a heretic. That's the problem with the Church today.

  30.  @tuxedoelle196  People really think that love and approval are one in the same. Love does not self-validate. It convicts. Our generation needs to learn the true definition of love.

  31. It's meant to refer to a living a life of unrepentant homosexuality. But sadly, the stereotype that gay people are inherently premiscuous is there today. 😔

  32.  @cpinkelman8807  Pork being banned was part of the Levitical law that was created solely to separate Israel from its pagan neighbors. And that law was fulfilled and killed off through Jesus's death and resurrection. And what does that have to do with this? You said it yourself. It "also" says to not eat pig. In order for it to be "also," than that must mean that it does in fact condemn it. Are you disregarding the commands of the scriptures? Yes, the verses found in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans, and Corinthians are mistranslations. And the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is about gang rape and inhospitality. However, in Matthew 19 when Jesus was asked if it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason, Jesus circles back and answer with a definition of what marriage is. And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” In other words, marriage is based on the uniqueness of man and woman.

  33.  @user-pp8ru6uu1s  It's true that God creates everyone in His image, but when we betrayed God and brought sin into the world, that is also what brought disease, disorders, disabilities into the world etc. In other words, many of us are born perverted and sinful dispositions. They're inherited throughout humanity just like genetics. However, our worth is not determined by these things, because our worth and identity is in our Father. Being gay is not who someone is, it's how they are. Being gay is not a sin. Acting on it is.

  34. I mean, America treats identifying with the right-wing as a basic prerequisite to be a Christian. The general Christian stereotype here.

  35.  @Nyyre  Firstly, the Gospels were not written in Greek. They were written in Hebrew/Aramaic. Secondly, your argument is a stretch. If that was the case, then Jesus wouldn't have said "for this reason." For this reason ties the binary genders to the definition of marriage. Jesus is saying that we have marriage because we are male and female. That's far more consistent with the scriptures. Especially when you consider all of the Bible's other verses on sexual ethics.

  36.  @thechurchofsymmetra8247  It's not gatekeeping. It's what the Bible commands (Matthew 16:24).

  37. 4:17 Nobody is deemed worthy of Heaven. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We are only saved by Jesus' sacrifice by grace through faith alone (Romans 3:23-24, Ephesians 2:8-9).

  40. He's just making the point that anyone who breaks God's laws, no matter how big or small they are can be forgiven and saved.

  41. God wants to us to have faith and confidence in our salvation based on the what the word of God says. We shouldn't have to question our salvation.

  42.  @chrissonofpear1384  God is a Father, but He's also a King, and King's judge. God allows evil to exist because true love cannot exist without choices, and choices bring about evil. Imagine if God hard-wired us to love Him. That's be manipulation and slavery. Not love.

  43.  @chrissonofpear1384  The ability to chose between good and evil. God didn't force Adam and Eve to eat only from the tree of life. He told them not too, but still gave them the option to.

  44. God doesn't want anyone in Hell. It's why he sent Jesus to sacrifice himself for us and defeat death by rising again. It's proves that God loves everyone unconditionally and equally. Everyone has their own sins. The only way we go to Hell, by choosing to not follow Jesus.

  45.  @supremogeno3344  That "man who lived thousands of years ago" died for us on the cross and rose again three days later conquering sin thank you very much. Don't ever tell me that Jesus was just a man. He was God in the flesh.

  46.  @masterqui-gonjinn90  "Let anyone who wishes to be my disciple >>>DENY HIMSELF<<<, pick up his cross, and follow me." - Matthew 16:24 Jesus wants us to make Him Lord, not our desires. We are all born sinners with fallen desires. That's why we need Jesus to be our savior in the first place. Refusing to put God first because of something we want rather than what God wants is idolatry.

  47.  @supremogeno3344  Not exactly. Our fellowship with other believers should be dictated by God's Word, and God's Word commands us to have the wisdom and discernment of the Holy Spirit. The Bible commands us to hold each other accountable in fellowship and to rebuke each other when we sin. That requires wisdom and discernment from our own personal time with Jesus. This is critically important because that is the key to discerning the difference between true believers and teachers, and false believers and teachers. Our personal relationship with Christ is always the priority because that's the only thing that will save us and guard our hearts and minds from sin and deception. Going to Church will be meaningless when we die because going to Church is not being transformed. Get in the Word my friend. That is where all the answers to your questions lie.

  48.  @supremogeno3344  Ask God to speak to you personally, and get in His Word again my friend. If you seek Him with your whole heart and are patient, He will answer your prayers and questions. I'm praying for you. God bless you my friend. 💖

  50.  @me-yeahcar-oh8668  So if you know that the Word of God condemns LGBT, why do you deny the scriptures then? That's heresy.
