Aren't we designed for heterosexuality?

[daycap]

I have contacted you in the past but struggle with the whole issue because of my past and although I love the Lord I know I would probably cope heaps of flack from churches that I have attended I live in a small town but have many christian gay friends and have held a strong position in their church with worship leading. any advice would be appreciated thanks for being there Justin.

[daycap]

Justin I love your videos keep them cumming, I have so many friends that are gay and or have been in a tough situation but have left the church but.it has been on my heart for a long time to long time to start up a church just like yours for a long time, I have been to bible collage many years I love God and so do my friends but it would be hard for me because my parents would find it tough to accept being gay and christian but, im kind of over that and getting stronger each day.any advice

[KusinerneAF]

btw I love the ear-point! when I saw it coming I was like "genius!" (Sorry I think I just spammed you with 4 comments. I'm just really interrested in this! And I think you are a cool christian! I would rather listen to you than a priest). Haha ? ;)

[WeAllLovePineapples]

You say things in such a calm, reasonable, rational way and I really admire that - clearly you really believe in what you are saying but you respect everyones viewpoint and opinions :) Also, thank you so much for what your doing. I beat myself up about 100 times a day because of my sexuality and you make me feel more normal, more acceptable and more loved by God. So thank you :)

[TheEduardoM75]

I have had a lot of trouble with my homosexuality. I didn't know what to do! I thought I was sin for being gay. I then tried to not believe i God. But I had to believe in something. So I turned in a Satanist. I thought, "If I'm a SIN....then it wouldn't be a problem if I was a Satanist". But I didn't want to be a satanist. So I went through a face of religions. I have been (first) a Catholic then a Satanist, Wiccan, Atheist, Christian, and so on! I was confuse big time!

[clay56]

Hands are purposed for what they are "purposed" for, yet to walk on ones hands would not be immoral, sinful or unnatural, but rather a natural variation of their function.

There are Christians who don't believe homosexuality to be sinful or immoral in all cases. And "natural" is often times a subjective term as evidenced by 1 Cor. 11:13-15

[princessewhiterose]

I'm straight but I feel for people who are confused about their gender and sexuality. Why didn't God juxg make us they way we were supposed to be? Why weren't we born into the sexes that we want to be? Shouldn't we be born into the bodies we were meant to be born in? For instance if your psychologically a woman but born a male why weren't you born as a woman?

[GayChristianNetwork]

@princessewhiterose Someone living their life in a wheelchair would probably agree.

@GayChristianNetwork

Actually, I was asking a question. I'm confused at to why things are the way they are. I just don't understand why things happened the way that they happened.

[GayChristianNetwork]

@princessewhiterose Well, we don't always know why God makes people blind or gay or love basketball even though they're in a wheelchair. In fact, MOST people, in one way or another, feel deep down that they weren't born into the right body--some more than others. And we are not required to know why.  We are just called to follow.

Hands are purposed for what they are "purposed" for, yet to walk on ones hands would not be immoral, sinful or unnatural, but rather a natural variation of their function. Looking at something outside of human anatomy, a hammer is "made" for hammering nails, yet would it be a violation of it's function to crack nuts? Obviously, not. Again, this is only if one is focusing on "homosexuality" as an "act" exclusively.

[gingernutpreacher]

were did you get your book shelf from

[SuperScguy]

i used to be biased against gay people till watching your videos. i learned god doesnt talk about gay people, he has no bias, that if your gay its just that you werent just changed 1 day your just that way. thanks

[CaptainSarahElyse]

This brought tears to my eyes. Im so glad that there are people out there who understand.

[joinerbm]

you have no idea how this video has affected me. now i feel like i can live my own life and know that God loves me just as much. and your so right about the fact that we cant choose to be heterosexual or homosexual. praise god for what you are doing.

[jayrhian09]

very well said thank you, i am not gay but i am trans-gender and i can soooo relate to this video your videos have helped me a lot. thank you.

[mrquiet2009]

I loved the "deaf" segment. It got your point clearly and concisely and was very well thought out.

[LuckyIzzy659]

I think you should make a video talking about that if being gay was so wrong to god, he would not have it possible to be born that way.



[KiraWei1]

I disagree with engaging in homosexual behavior, but I respect the way you explained this and that you allowed other people to hold their views against homosexual behavior. The deaf example illustrated your point well.

[xcommunicate]

I can’t tell if he is a gay or straight Christian.

[BambiBethany]

@gaychristiannetwork

I just want to say I think you're doing an amazing job!! I truly and sincerely respect you. Will you explain what 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 is saying...

[IcomeINpeaceisim]

hey i have a question.

dont gay people need straight to survive since gay people cant reproduce and be gay.

example - all gay people live on an island and all non gays on another island.

over time all the gays will die off.

given non gays will make more gays you still need non gays to produce gays.

i know this is a way out there question but i wonder what you think about it?

btw i am not gay and not religious and i have nothing against gays or religious people.

[GayChristianNetwork]

@IcomeINpeaceisim That's a good question. Often, an issue will arise and people will respond with, "Well, if everyone were that way, the world would be awful." And that's true! However, that doesn't prove anything. For example, if everyone in the world were a farmer, that would be a horrible situation. No doctors, teachers or even people making farm equipment. But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with farmers. No, gays can't reproduce, but being a minority, that's not a problem.

[raku217]

@GayChristianNetwork Do you think gays would be a minority if heterosexism did not predominate our society? Would the numbers of gays, straights and bi people be more equal percentage wise if sexual orientation were not an issue (morally, spiritually or otherwise)?

[iamorlin]

@GayChristianNetwork Being gay doesn't mean being sterile. A lot of gay people have children. They just don't go around making kids accidentally... for the most part. If this all-gay-people-on-an-island-an­d-all straight-on-another scenario was true, all I can see happening is population control. People, gay or straight, want kids, and if they want kids, whether they're sexually attracted to the opposite sex or not is irrelevant. They'll just make it happen.

[KusinerneAF]

@iamorlin I agree! They ARE able to have kids even though it's not with eachother :)

[elizabethumanzor]

@iamorlin Only because they adopt.

[duwadnum]

There's six -- approaching seven billion of us; we are artificially managing our culture, given the fact we've far surpassed our natural quota. We consume much, much more than requisite for our survival, yet here you are suggesting a homosexual population could overwhelm a general human-overflow? Is this a joke? Have you examined one statistic on such a topic? You shall find <1% (6.8 billion / 100) accommodates a natural support for <4 billion. Remember? Gluttony is among the deadliest sins.

[ArashiTsurugi]

I think God or whoever in anyone's belief (even atheists you can use evolution since it's in our favor for survival) created homosexuality to solve the human population issue. I mean look at us we're in the billions! We could use some population control before we over populate and end up dying trying to support so many people on this planet. Someone had a game plan preset for the future when we became to advanced for our own good. So thank you gay people! :D Sorry if my comment offended anyone.

[BlueShreveport]

@ArashiTsurugi I wanted to I agree with your comment. I'm gay and I feel the same way. It may seem harsh to say it but look at the world the overpopulated countries. Look at america today and our failing economy. Blame it on whatever you like but America is in a struggle because we can't support our overpopulation.

[SatuuuChan]

"God made you special and He loves you very much!"

[Solomonous]

Hes not talking to you like your a child. See his other videos. He still speaks that way. Hes GAY. :)

[stoodOnAnArk]

God made woman from the rib of Adam, a genetically modified man, a womb man. Get over it Christians. Were all Homo!

Eze 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Nothing about natural sexual identity. Is Ezekiel a liar, would he have mentioned natural sexual identity if it was a sin?

HallEluYah.

[TheStrong32]

You make so many good points! If it's o.k. with you, I'd like to use some of your material when discussing these issues with others. Thank you, and God bless you for your work.

[wetdream09]

are you saying handicapped and homosexuality are very similar, i agree nothings wrong with the fact we were born homo, but why do you talk down at me like im stupid? O_o

[1Lozzix1]

@wetdream09

It was an analogy.

And yeah, he just talks like that because the facial expressions are more interesting.

[yelocab01]

To reduce a relationship to only sex is wrong. Ppl enter into relationships for many reasons: companionship, love, create a permanent family (of 2 people, maybe children later), etc.. Sex is only a small part of it. To say sex is only for reproduction reduces us to animals. The Adam and Eve argument is silly. God wanted to populate the earth with humans, so the logical choice was a man and woman. BTW, God didn't create poodles or boston terriers either in Genesis, so it wrong to own these dogs?

[DalisYT]

@yelocab01 Yes. ;)

[jonathan0012345]

@yelocab01 he created all kinds of animals. I always thought he created all of them! But you"re right. We can own them. God wants us to love his creations, after all.

[angelfireguyver]

thank you.

[MsLollylove]

i agree

[honeyblossom17]

Thanks for the video! 11/5!!! lmao!

[renob20002000]

Im so glad u do this vids. I love God, and am christian. But I also love Men

[ThexRavenous]

i would also say that life wouldnt be at a balance without gay people. everyone would be the same. why dont we all be just a bunch of grey blobs? thats what if it would be like if there where only straight people

[ThexRavenous]

if god allowed gay people on the earth then there is a reason for them being here. if god didnt allow gays/lesbians/bi's etc. then they wouldnt exist.

[harris1001]

This is so enlightening!! I think yer answer is applicable not only to christianity but to Judaism, Islam, and other religions too. I believe God's love to His creations is infinite.

[dpfan1982]

This world is already overpopulated as it is. So, just imagine if every single man and woman was straight, married and had even just one child. It would be insane.

[iMzRae05]

thanks for helping me!!!

[TheOneofakind17]

you are very wise...GCN is so awsome.

[wegotthepower]

I agree with the others! This is soooooo good! I really recognize myself in this and i want to show it for my friends who thinks that it´s wrong to be gay and christian, and see how they would react.

I really like this.

[jackson4socks]

God wants us all to be happy.

[hurleyGRANDE]

@jackson4socks Mhmmm

[teramuhkala]

the people who carried the ark of the covenant to ethiopia were levites and probably single . those who were taking care of AOTC  on ihe island in ethiopia were single unmarried individuals why ?

[bestwishesevent]

An uplifting response...I'm subscribing right now

[fruity267]

The first video from the GCN I watched was about Sodom and Gomorrah. It changed the way I thought about the story, and about gay-christianity. It really helped me feel closer to God and strengthen my faith, getting rid of some of my doubts.

[SCREAMOguy413]

PLEASE HELP!!! i luv this channel n watch these vids but even in this video, like most other gays, he says he has the "physical ability to father a child" well i DONT thats how i found out i was GAY is i do NOT get turned on by girls at ALL so where am i catagorized? does all of this not apply to ME? :'( i do NOT like girls in THAT WAY at ALL...i want to be able to sevre God & have a lifelong relationship with a GUY (love, sex, etc.)...do most gays have the ability to get MMM by both sexes? o.O

[ProtoTangelo]

WOW!! Hahaha this video is GREAT!. Way to GO!! :D

[OnEarthTravel]

Oh my goodness, what a great answer.

This is probably one of my favorite channels now, you are a great speaker.

wow I don't know how else to tell you that you're amazing.

God Bless you JustiN!

<3

[gaysocks2]

This was a fantastic video. So logical, coherent, and well thought out.

Thanks, GCN. I'm going to go and watch all the rest of your videos, too!

[twoeffs38]

This is a totally great comparison!

[chaoticvllg8]

Yep, I knew it.. another GREAT VIDEOOO!

Make more I can't wait!

[nbarbee36]

THAT IS SO TRUE.. VERY WELL PUT!!

[annpetasupporter]

Did the guy who wrote the e-mail respond at all? I'd really like to know what his response was if he did.

[annpetasupporter]

You did a REALLY great job of answering this question. It will help me in debates. Thank you so much. :)

[wattaaa]

I died laughing at the hands

[awaseniu]

I agree with what was said here, though we should've been warned about the sound puposely going out. I was wondering why I lost it.

[GallifreysMagician]

Justin, these videos are awesome! Your points are well thought out and I really appreciate them!

[dogblessamerica]

I am not a Christian, so I do not have to deal with these tangled issues (phew!) but of course I do have the residual effects of a Christian upbringing in my childhood, which I have yet to fully shake off...

But within the (in my opinion) artificial confines of the Christian homosexuality debate, I thought this was excellent... logical and well thought through.

[sanethoughtspreader]

dogblessamerica, I completely agree. I am not a Christian (I've come to be an atheist) and yet I fully appreciate this video. Though I don't think ears were in fact designed, I like the liberal christian view :) I don't like hatred and I think it is quite perverse to interfere in other people's love lives and sex lives and am very glad to see such a video where you encourage others to be open minded and discourage discrimination, well done :D

[ABisexualBox]

:] woot

[Irbeth]

I tend to disagree with every bit of Christian based reasoning even if I agree with the overall point, since it tends to be very insistent on rote learning - because God said it.

The logic in this video though is intelligent and clear, and could prove useful. So, thank you.

[shadowgwm]

Justin, Thanks for all the great videos and the ministry of GCN. Spreading the Good News is what we're called to do. You do it everyday! Keep up the great work. Love You!

[rudolf69mike]

how old is jason?

[Haskle6]

great vid Justin!

[Aoiraider]

I just wanted to say, I really like your pragmatic and practical approach... When I am presented with someone doubtful about gay-christianity, I tend to go a very scholarly/philosophical route, that generally fails to resonate with most people. But what can I say, I like myself for who I am, much to your(plural) credit. Anyways, I just wanted to say that more than anything else I really appreciate your appoach, to reach everyday people...

[Pyodog]

Whoot!

I needed this right now. Great video Justin! =]

[diverkev]

The worst crimes committed by man have been done because people thought that God or the Bible said they were right. I'm sick of thinking that I have to justify my sexuality to others. This is how my higher power created me and if they don't like it that's their problem.

[sumirei001]

When I saw the first part I wondered how you were going to present this case and as I listened on, I was quite impressed(: I don't entirely agree with everything you say but good work.

[rudolf69mike]

what is it that you don`t agree with ?

[mber18]

This video was well done from the way you delivered the message to the great substance and support you gave to answer the question. I'm proud someone else is actually doing the same thing I'm doing. Thank you

[LaneCGMS]

Awesome Vid! Thanks these vids help me out so much! :) keep'em Coming! :D

[KingReef777]

That was a lot of good answering. I hope it got through.

I wonder if Jason thinks that all sex should only be done in order to create another life? And that those who do anything else are also 'supporting sin'?

[DarylBahr]

yet another great video.

[sbryant822]

Thank you for all that you do.

[bilcal]

Thanks! Clear and to the point.

[terrellbrinlee]

you make a very valid point... but i really want you to talk about Leviticus...

[sinrboy]

All I can say is Amen! Great video! God bless <3
