Straight View on the Gay Christian Conference

[sweetbasil2010]

I support you, don't let hateful people get in your way of loving others. That dude will get his day before God and will be punished.

[canyonwlkr]

@sweetbasil2010 thank you.And you know--God supports me too. If He did not, I could not do this. I do not have the most popular message or the easiest one to carry, but it is HIS. I see the fruit in others lives and feel His pleasure in my life. I have no doubt as to what drives me. It is my faith. Mr. Obsessed must be living a petty existence to be so focused on me and not serving God and others. If he knew mercy and grace, he would export it. Clearly,he has somehow missed it and that is sad.

[startinglifenew2011]

I use to feel disgusted with myself. I had feelings for girls even in my strongest moments in my walk with God. It was so confusing to be so in love with God and worshipping Him with other Christians. Then to realize I'm attracted to women, and those same Christians will hate me for it.

[startinglifenew2011]

I know this is a really old video, but I just saw this and I was crying the minute you said God has put it on your heart to reconcile the straight and gay in the church. I'm like bawling because this was the most loving way I've ever heard a straight person talk abou gay Christians. I am gay and I've been struggling sooo much.

[MasterDemon25]

.. but I dont want to be gay :(

[Atlavocat]

@MasterDemon25 - Some people don't want to be African-American, Hispanic or some other minority. It's hard to be a member of any minority in this society. The key for everyone is to find love and happiness - and that's hard to do for everyone - but it's no harder for Gay people than for straight people.

[MasterDemon25]

@Atlavocat I agree. Except for the part where you assume that behaviour is in biology, like skin pigmentation. I agree that neural pathways may be predispositioned, or early-formed. But I think that's the the highly variable part of my biology. Well. anyhow. You're right, straight people may find it just as hard (internalle) to freely love.

[Atlavocat]

@MasterDemon25 - Sexual orientation is more more fundamental than racial differences. Racial differences have been around for between thirty and forty thousand years, the areas of the brain directly responsible for sexual orientation, sexual identity and sexual memories are some of the oldest parts of the brain and exist in all primates. The way you express yourself sexually may be variable, but what you find sexually attractive cannot change unless you have a lobotomy.

[Atlavocat]

@MasterDemon25 - If you are Bisexual, fine. But the ability to be Bisexual and find both male and female sexually attractive is also determined by your brain development. You may be biologically male or female, but part of your brain is androgynous.

[MasterDemon25]

@Atlavocat mmmm. so what determines your brain's development then, and when are the neural pathways set for sexual orientation? Since the brain of a baby in the womb would have no reason to like one or the other. It seems a sad twist, consider if one would like your own children.. and have to compensate for the "natural" biology with "beurocratic" sociology. I just don't like this position, and its not the same as saying tough, deal with it. Its more akin to being sterile then. Which is also sad

[Atlavocat]

@MasterDemon25 - There are quite a few books on the subject, I recommend you read them. Humans are more like other primates and other animals then we would prefer to believe. Biology is, afterall, destiny.

[Atlavocat]

@MasterDemon25 - Your entire genetic make up determines your brain's development - although there are drugs that can affect it. Humans are the result of millions of years of evolution and we each contain genes that can be found in other related animal species on earth. I'm sorry that this bothers you. There are things about your biology that you cannot change - you have to learn to live with it.

[pcsassy03]

Bess you.

[HouseOfRainbow]

Thanks for this video, I stay up all night just browsing the internet for the voice of hope, you did that for me this evening and I send you thanks from my native country Nigeria where homosexuality is a criminal offence and we can be sentence to 14 years or executed for being gay, let alone worship God just as we are. Thanks again. Jide Macaulay from Lagos Nigeria

[swt2003]

this is satanic.

[crazyemofreaklover]

THANK U SOOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I am 14 years old and I am a gay christian. Thanks sooo much for doing this. This video made me cry. :)

[adiazrivera]

Thank You so much for your support. You are such a wonderful lady. I hope to see u at the conference next year (2011). Really looking to meet you and give you a big hug. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

[twospot7777777]

Homosexuality is a sin and those who say it is okay to be gay are deceived. We as Christians should repent of our sins and humble ourselves to God and not promoting homosexuality.

You are deceived to believe God allows sin and no punishment will occur.

Your conference should be of them repenting of homosexuality and asking God to forgive them.

[IanLoewen]

@twospot7777777

[IanLoewen]

@twospot7777777 keep on praying for canyonwlkr. Even false preachers can be saved.

[Atlavocat]

@twospot7777777 - No where in the Bible is there any reference to "homosexuality" or "homosexuals" and no where in the Bible does it say that is a sin to love someone of the same sex. David loved Jonathan - and his love surpassed that of women. But the Bible repeated says that it is a sin to judge other people - and Jesus condemned people like you to hellfire. But you don't care about that, do you?

[thebex3400]

To all those people who say "Read your bible" I ask you, have you? What did Jesus say about gay people? What did Jesus say about love? Yes I know what Romans says... We all know what Paul (the writer of all the antigay refs in the new testament )has to say but what about the CHRIST? He calls us to love... And JESUS LOVES EVERYONE.

[2010JesusSaves]

God hates fags....period.

They are all going to hell in a faggot's handbasket.

[sySeven2]

prove it

[2010JesusSaves]

@sySeven2 Read your bible Romans.

[matthieus2]

Thanks so much for uploading these. I appreciate what you're doing.

[BHOLYFUL]

Jesus Christ never teached on gay subject. he condemned it to hell. read Romans 1 the whole chapter. your all fooling yourselfs and going to hell on top of that. piti and a waste of a life.

[canyonwlkr]

yes, He never did teach on it, so how did He condemn it? I have read Romans---if you read t n original language , context and audience, you too will be enlightening. Until then---stopo doing a job that is not yours---condemning people to hell

[oregonskateok]

Jesus never even spoke on it. Homosexuality is talked down on in Leveticus, and those laws were canceled out in the new testament. If you are going to follow the old laws then you should start executing people who get divorced. Maybe read the bible before pretending you know anything about Jesus.

[saxy0712]

I thought this was gonna bash the gay community, but it made me cry, honestly. She is obviously an awesome woman of God. Coming from a gay person, this would be just another tactic to get you to attend a church service, but hearing it from straight people really tugged at my heart. Anyone who can disagree with the notion of a gay christian is fooling themselves. We are real and we are here. It feels like I just heard my whole family encouraging me =) thank you miss =)

[canyonwlkr]

well thank you...I am going to another few in upcoming months and just got back from one two weeks ago in TN. II need to get out some more videos and will. Also , am writing a book and doing some othe major outreach---God cares, I can tell because I see what is happening grassroots. Be encouraged!!!!! thanks again!

[stoodOnAnArk]

I urge all people in this forum to add this text to the search bar in YouTube and watch the trailer, watch it to the end and see if the movie is avalabe for you to watch....

"Prayers for Bobby Trailer rev "

HalleluYah.

[kat2332]

@DonBell2007

The bible also says that we must not mix clothing fabrics or plant two types of seeds in our fields (Leviticus 19:19). We must wear our hair long and never shave (Lev 19:27). And anything a menstruating woman touches becomes unclean and anyone who touches an unclean thing, also becomes unclean (Lev 15:19-32).

Can I assume that you don't own any cotton poly blends or cut your hair, and that you make sure to avoid all women in your life who are menstruating?

[Bluecube100]

I've met lots of lovely christian people like this woman, she's all about kindness and warmth - we don't see or hear from them enough!!!

[canyonwlkr]

shah---not fond of your inappropriate language at all and am removing you as a user. I do hope your desire work out to please you.

[AriKinder83]

Homosexuality is a sin. Living an unrepentant, sinful life does not a Christian make.

[canyonwlkr]

the translation of the word to homosexual actually mean a person involved in cultic temple idol worship that uses sex to appease the gods---not AT ALL what is happening in same sex committed relationship. Let this group marry so that our last hang up of sex outside marriage can not be used against the people who want to be in a marriage relationship. WHAT is it to you what other adults do in thier private lives? I know HUNDREDS of gay Christians, what do you do with that?

[JPhillippeMusic]

this video made me cry..this needs to be featured..Amen wholeheartedly...finally someone speaks out, its all about the peace...you can't turn down homosexuals and be so judge mental, when judging is a sin in itself...

[antiquefuneral]

Thank you so much! Ill be honest, when I saw the link for this video I was expecting abuse. Thank you thank you thank you. From your lesbian sister in christ, audra

[watertower12]

I am also a straight christian woman who is an ally for gay rights. I originally thought that was very rare, but lately I am finding there are many of us, and growing in numbers every day.

I think it is good there are many religions, but it is horrifying they don't get along and respect each other

Unlike some Christians, I actually like to follow the teachings of Jesus. He spoke of love and acceptance.

My favorite bumper sticker says "coexist". Thank-you for your video.

[canyonwlkr]

loudmouthspeaker. I would like to know how you have conquered ever sinning. There is enough in our own lives to deal with. Let those who MIGHT come to Jesus get to Him without having to battle you too. Do I believe being gay is a sin? No. God creates people to be gay. Do I believe sex in a committed marriage like relationship is a sin? No. I expect that you have not had sex outside of marriage, That is wonderful. Most people cannot accomplish this. I am blocking you. And removing you.

[hayjayjess]

god bless you. as a gay christian thank you for this video xx

[SimplyAE]

I loved it when i went. I didnt see you there but if I knew you was there I so would have talked to you. Because I was there for the first time infront of gay christians like me.

[erylone]

thank you! thank you! thank you! And God bless you.

[uraine7626]

The problem is heterosexuals think they are the only ones that can get forgiveness. Everyone can repent!

[aideenj]

God bless you lady!

[PeeFinster]

This wacko lady is a lesbo herself...look at the thumb rings...DUH!

[canyonwlkr]

I am st8, I am a fundamentalist Christian, I have children and I wear thumb rings, drive a FOrester and hike. Breaks you small minded stereotypes. I am blocking you, Bye

[canyonwlkr]

I think that because you wear leather, have long hair and ride a motorcycle...you must be a drug user and dealer, hmmmmm.

[PeeFinster]

I did use drugs years ago...but I found Jesus and repented at the foot of the cross...Jesus has forgivin me and now Iam a child of God. I dont sit there and smoke a joint anymore and say "God loves me...its o.k. I do this"....Like you do misleading these "gay" friends of yours. If I was a bettin man I would say God is NOT happy with you.

[promboy8]

you small minded prick is this the extent of your life to make other people feel bad you are pathetic shit stain of a human being and god dose not love you and you will burn in eternal fire

amen

[lucasboden]

I think maybe your drug addiction was the least of your sin problems.  How about asking God for compassion and a heart free of judgement?

[teresahen]

1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

[tiwai22]

That was great! I'm a gay Christian, maybe the only one who is totally out in the small city I live in, and it's so refreshing to hear good things like this.

[teresahen]

1st John 3 verse 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth form the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, t hat he might destroy the works of the devil. So you see there is alot of docrtine out there but there is only one true doctrine and thats holyness God is a holy God.

[PropheticObserver]

Since the Bible is crystal clear on the subject of homosexuality the term "Gay Christian" makes about as much sense as "meat-eating vegan".

[PropheticObserver]

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:26-27 (KJV)

[PropheticObserver]

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

[tombraider1296]

i just want to take time to tell u that u are an amazing woman. it is because of people like you that i still believe. continue being the way you are. thank you.

[nickpearson87]

thank you so much for this video upload. You encouraged me to finally sign up to the gay christian network (I am from the UK and living in a remote town where this issue is rarely discussed). Your views gave me the courage to seek the guidance I so sorely needed. Thank you yet again and be content in the fact you made this one person (me) a lot healthier and happier in my mind and to worship as any fellow christian would - with absolute love and faith in God. Nick x

[muralart1]

do you believe homosexuality is a sin?

or do you know what the bible says about homosexuality?

[canyonwlkr]

no and yes.

[truthandpeace2009]

God bless you :)

[WarOnErrorism91]

What beautiful and heartfelt words. Why can't the whole world take such an accepting view? Thank you for your peacemaking and healing words.

[sptfgpn]

It's a shame there aren't more people like you in the world.

[zabriel13]

I want very much to go, but it's hard as a student to find time. I've never been face to face with an out and open gay Christian (my best friend at my little Christian college came out during the summer, but she's not coming back here). I've grown up in conservative rural churches. I want to thank you for this though, you are one of a few straight people, and even fewer straight older people of faith that is accepting of Christian brothers and sisters who happen to be gay. Thank you so much.

[globehunter2]

To be Gay will not send you to Hell' To be Gay is natural and well, To be Gay is a part of Creation` To be Gay wont denie you Salvation, To be Gay is another way to Love` To be Gay can be found in Heaven above, So how can God hate what he has created, For you are his child! And shall be always be Loved and Related. Pierre Andre 2008

[BenCSeven]

Wow! How encouraging! Thank you for posting this. It was very bold of you to go to a conference where everyone is in some way unlike you.

[iceflamesburn]

Thank you I think if I knew more Christians like you Who live as Christian. I would come back to the Church. I was Raised Christian but the HATE felt when I came out as Lesbian turned it off I still believe in God but gave up on the church. Thank you for trying

[DalisYT]

You are much beloved.

I'm a Catholic and a lesbian, and I have been totally blessed with an abundance of love and support from my family family and my church family. Where Jesus is, you feel nothing but love and warmth, not hate. Go to where that is.

[iceflamesburn]

Thank you for the kind words.

[bimboblacky]

Missed the DC conference (never been 2 DC in fact...oh well). A couple of things which I believe tie in 2 it, however from my own spiritual walk: A) The more vibrant Metropolitan Community Churches are THE most effective interdenominational outreaches I have EVER encountered (and I have dropped in on ALL mainline denominations repeatedly!) B) My home church is Episcopalian, and there R TWO issues tearing us apart (sadly): 'gay' thing AND ordination of women, DESPITE our presiding bishop??

[canyonwlkr]

I had lunch with Troy Perry (MCC founder) in AZ last month and saw him again in SF last weekend. He is a WONDERFUL person and I do thank GOd he came along and literally saved the pyhsically lives of so many gay people with his ministry and pointed them to Jesus to save the eternal lives of so many gay people. Ihave a great deal of respect for this man.

[AriKinder83]

You should be ashamed of yourself. If you are telling people its okay to be gay you may have been called but it wasn't by G-d. I say to you what Yeshua (Jesus) said of the Pharisees "you are of your father the devil."

[canyonwlkr]

wow...there are people that will NEVER understand and that is okay. What I do is VERY effective and I will continue. ANS, I am most definitely of God, there is fruit.But, thank you for listening just the same.

[AriKinder83]

You're right to say that I will never understand. I can't understand how anyone can claim to know the redemption power of Christ and then teach others that its okay for them to ignore His word. I can't take your word that it is of G-d. I have to allow scripture to show that and scripture tells us that it is not.

[canyonwlkr]

I will stand firmly in my position. A person's sexual orientation never has been nor will it ever be the ticket to redemption. It is because of who Jesus is, not because of who we are or are not. Whosoever calls on His name means just that , whosoever. It is NEVER appropriate to have an immoral life style. Some people just are wired to do SSA. It does not lessen their worth. And, if OGd wants to change them as He did me in so many areas of my life, then let Him do it. let GOd be God.

[muralart1]

a position given by God has to be grounded on the word of God. simply you know that the consequence of homosexuality is the disease of aids, if being a homosexual was the will of God there would be no consequence of the such. yes who Jesus is, he is holy righteous, pure, just, and what do we become when we are redeemed?...well it means we have to turn away from our immoral life style. otherwise there is no point in christ sacrifice and doesnt matter what life i live. false doctrine.

[canyonwlkr]

Ashamed? I am honored and humbled that GOd trusts me with this diffficult message of social justice. I am no better than anyone else and somehow He called me. I also know that I am not mainstream in my thinking and I am not mainstream in my judgment, mercy, kindness and compassion and for that I am greatful.I would rather reflect Him than be me. I am comfortable before God with who I am.Those around me "get me".I am right in the center of His will, no matter how tough it is for others to hear.

[Temptuous2112]

Is Homosexuality a sin?

[muralart1]

what do you think?? on the subject of your question? write me in a messege if you dont mind

[muralart1]

there is no such thing as a social justice, it is the gospel of the Kingdom that has to be preached the gospel of repentance and turning from sin, and the lust of the flesh and turn from immorality, not to please the hearts of men and bring soft words to their ears. "those around you get you?" so that means youre from a church that is not grounded on his word. because Jesus is not coming for a leg or a hand, he is coming for his bride. not a groom.

[canyonwlkr]

byowner1..goodbye. There are plenty of places foryou to be mean and have this discussion with people who use your methods.You are not welcome here, you do more damage than you can imagine and I am going to limit it. I would rather extend mercy. Goddbye.

[byowner1]

canyonwlkr

you, without a doubt, are the biggest loser on youtube. Everything about your promotion is opposite of the truth. You spread lies, Satan's deception, cut people of your site with a different opinion than yours, show your arrogant blasphemy proudly, etc, etc!

You are the Swine Satan loves to use for his evil plan. You don't fool me and anyone with half a brain!

Y O U M U S T B E C A S T O U T, ALONG WITH YOUR DEMONIC MESSAGE OF DECEPTION.

ABSOLUTE NASTY WOMAN !!

[byowner1]

canyonwlkr I ESPECIALLY renounce, CAST OUT, throw away, disgard, shove out of my way, remove, delete, and destroy (with the help of Jesus) Satan at every turn. THIS MEANS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[byowner1]

DalisYT

I renounce, cast out, throw away, disgard, shove out of my way, remove, delete, and destroy (with the help of Jesus) Satan at every turn. If you side with Satan then I cast you out too!

[DalisYT]

byowner1: Ok, good, but I caution you, because I can already see you closing your ears and hardening your heart, please pray for the wisdom to discern that which actually is of Satan and that which maybe you personally want to be and why.

I can try to tell you that I love Christ - His word, His love, His sacrifice - but if you don't want to listen, I don't see the point. You should know that I don't hold you as any kind of authority and I have nothing to prove to you. I answer to God.

[CandyLaydee]

if gay people call themselves christians they're not!!

[DalisYT]

"if gay people call themselves christians they're not!!"

CandyLaydee: Do you know any? Then, how can you say that?

Would you leave gay and lesbian teens and adults to a life of desolation - of rejection, prostitution, drugs, disease, etc. just because you cannot soften your heart enough to sit on the same pew with your brothers and sisters? Jesus dined with sinners and showed them mercy. Why can't you?

Look up Gay Christian Answers on Youtube. The man there is a brave witness for Christ

[muralart1]

do you believe satan corrupted the nature of man?

and with that root of sin in our lives, people become corrupt in heart. that what God had planned (man to be with a woman) was twisted by the devil, when man fell in sin?

[teresahen]

Yes I do

[oaklynlen]

canyonwlkr, my own comments towards you is simply--god bless you. as a gay christian along with my partner we're happy that people like you are building bridges, and really shows gods love

[canyonwlkr]

1musa123...wow...renouncing me, that actually means to cast me off, to disown me..and in the name of Jesus. Wow. Vile and disgusting. The only people that say these kind of things about me are Christianss who do no like my viewpoint. I find that interesting.

You are welcome to NOT watch my videos...you are not my target audience anyway. The target is the ones who think they had to choose between their orientation and Jesus. If I irritate one of you to get to one of them, it's good math.

[1musa123]

canyonwlkr , I have read all your comments, watched several of your videos, and now I need to puke. You are a vile and disgusting excuse for a christian. I renounce YOU in the name of Jesus!

[DalisYT]

1musa123: "I renounce YOU in the name of Jesus!"

Is that what you say to people when you no longer have the decency to even have a normal conversation with them like a human being? I'm going to say that to my student loan officer next time he calls me about my bill - "I renounce YOU!"

[shanana000]

God wants a relationship with everyone but you have to repent of your sins to be in right relationship with Him and turn from those sins and choose to listen to God. you haven't shown me anywhere were God approves of same sex relationships, why is that? Because there aren't any in Gods word.

[guapobear]

Hey there, How about David? His love for Jonathan "surpassed his love for women".. I suppose you have some stupid victorian translation for that one... yeah, 2 hebrew dudes fighting battles in the desert and ... well, i see your flaw... every reference in the bible which you cite refers to abusive relationships and has no reference to committed relationship.. There was no word equating to the modern meaning of homosexual before 1850, so sit down, how about it??

[muralart1]

you use this passage to justify youre human nature and not to see whats in Gods heart. the bible never says that those passages talk about abussive relationships, its plain and simple, but we as people dont want to accept the simple truth because it goes against what we want. for a man to go with a man, is plainly the scene of the corrupt nature, that only God can bring back to purity, but no!, the flesh is good and lust of it so we rather justify ourselves than really come to Jesus cross.

[canyonwlkr]

I can only hope that as years progress and you read and live your Bible that you "get" the message of it and learn not to camp on five verses. You confuse being homosexual with a "homosexual lifestyle". What is a heterosexual lifestyle? Promiscuous sex is never God's way for st8 or gay. But , does God create people gay? yes. You cannot possibly have any experience here to be as dogmatic as you are. Lead with mercy, live in justice and exhibit love and you may start reflecting Jesus.

[shanana000]

i am not bashing gays, i am bashing lies that you are trying to perpetrate as truth! how can you call yourself a Christian but not obey God's word..you lie to the gays when you approve of their sin. God never said same sex relationships are okay with him, he still finds them to be an abomination to him.

[guapobear]

God wants a relationship with everybody, but YOU are insisting that people must repent of something that is not wrong..INDEED, there are issues of morality regarding promiscuity and such, but if Jesus was as concerned about anybody's gender preference, he certainly would have had something to say about it in no uncertain terms in the sermon on the mount... Indeed, god wants to save as many of his glbt children as will hear his word; however, people like you want to convince them otherwise.

[shanana000]

what don't you understand about God's word saying "no homosexual will inheirit the kingdom of God?" how are you going to twist that one so you can lie to yourself so you can still live a perverted lifestyle?

[guapobear]

First, you have just called God a liar.. The bible says that the only sin which is unforgivable is "blasphemy of the holy spirit".. sorry to disappoint you.. Hmmm... So, you are even wrong at best, or in grave error on your interpretation of the bible, which you appear to worship like a 4th member of the trinity.. which it is not.. Sounds way way way too homeschool for me .... WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS?? NOTHING...

[canyonwlkr]

Shanana....The sin of Sodom was NOT homosexuality...read the BIble and the cross references. THese are the very often misquoted verses. Do the reading yourself and figure it out. You will not believe me till you discover it yourself. Find out what the REAL reason was. This was a gang rape that happened during it, but that is NOT why God let the city be destroyed. Don't quote what you do not know, it is careless and continues the hate speech.

[guapobear]

Thanks CW, but as you know, Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead.."

[shanana000]

what part of man shall not lay with man or woman shall not lay with another woman isn't clear to you? i promise one day God will ask you that...show gays true love by giving them the truth, so they don't perish! if you truly love them then you would tell them the truth no matter how much you are persecuted for it.

[guapobear]

there is absolutely no wording in any version of the bible which says woman shall not lie with another woman.. it simply doesn't exist... DID YOU GIVE ANY HELP TO THE HELPLESS TODAY???

[canyonwlkr]

If I knew you I could probably easily point out where you fall short...work on that. This conversation is over. We will not shift the other. I choose to work in positive ways and not argue. THere are plenty of people out there that can use kindness and not a beating. Have a lovely Mother's Day.

[canyonwlkr]

FOr Shanna I posted a personal comment. I choose not to engage in public commentary there, but rather in teaching...I don't believe her kind of unkind is the heart of my God. I sin, she sins, we all sin. But GOd says "Whosoever" and He means it. The gay community gets the same contraints that the straight community gets. I won't be perishing ; I am solidly on God's path for me. I will teach back into the church and love out into the gay community. Off I go to hike with a lesbian friend ...

[shanana000]

stop trying to act like we aren't to show love to the gays...we are all sinners and fall short..what i don't agree with is when you try to play god and say their sin is okay with the true God. you can't change God, all you can do is lie and say it's okay with God...but that isn't truth now is it?

[canyonwlkr]

I asked that you do some reading, I do not think you care to investigate. I cannot help you any further; you'll stay stuck. Let's finish this conversation..neither of us will change the other. I'd rather use my energy in the postive. Have a lovely Sunday in your house of worship.

[shanana000]

as a Christian i am commanded to tell you the truth, no matter how much you might hate me for it or how much ridicule i get for it..it is out of love that God wants you to know these things so that you don't perish. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, one of the ten cmmdmnts..stop creating a God that fits your lifestyle, because its a false god, he doesn't exist..the one that loves you and judges sin exist. Sin and God don't mix. Sin and satan does. leave your sin and repent to God.

[shanana000]

lady in the video,you better get rooted in the word of God yourself or you'll fall for anything that sounds right.only God is right and a perversion to what HE created isn't right.don't be deceived! all those that say "lord lord wont enter the kingdom of God" Jay Bakker needs to be corrected,you won't find a gay getting God's approval on marriage in the bible.God destroyed Sodom and Gomoraha so well that it still can't be found.let that be proof of how He feels about it.2 gays can't multiply!

[andytoz]

You don't know your bible if you think sodom and gomoraha demonstrates gods view on homosexuality. The situation was the attempted rape of angels.

[shanana000]

you need to find a bible study buddy. your wrong. the homosexuals at sodom were so perverted that yes they even wanted the angels but God destroyed them for being sexual perverts, man shall not lay with man thus saith the Lord!

[guapobear]

And do you still quote the bible about selling your daughters into slavery?? Haven't you gone to google to drop that $10 bill for the Burmese cyclone victim??? I think God is speaking to us all to participate..

[shanana000]

did God tell people to sell their daughters, or did sinful man,and it's recorded in the bible? get it straight..and get straight yourself.

[guapobear]

Did you take time to drop off your $10 for the cyclone victims, or isn't that what you THINK god wants?? .. I'm 50 yrs old, w more time in bible study than you can probably imagine, so don't think you have a monopoly on god... Take time off from bashing gays and go help the helpless... What would Jesus do? AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY?...

[shanana000]

im the same age. What would Jesus do, he'd say repent of your sins and go sin no more. He'd tell you the truth to keep you out of hell.. where as satan wants you to go against what God says...just like your doing..God doesn't approve of same sex relationships. it's still an abomination to him, he hasn't changed his mind.

[guapobear]

Have you lifted a finger to help the suffering children in Burma??

[guapobear]

And by the way, DID YOU LIFT A FINGER FOR THE CHILDREN IN BURMA TODAY?

[shanana000]

and if i didn't?

now go read 1rst Corinthians 6:9-10.

Please don't pervert two men that are friends into a perverted lifestyle..now where does it say they had sex...so don't try to add something that isn't there, get real and stop the lying.

[guapobear]

it reflects exactly where your values are.. that you are willing to spend your time gay-bashing, yet ignoring the human suffering of such profundity. yet, i wouldn't figure that you would help them.. after all, they can't do anything to validate your self-righteousness...If you don't like what I said about the David/Jonathan thing.. then tough... I am not lying, you are in denial.. you know denial.. It isn't just a river in Egypt...

[shanana000]

1 Cor 6:9-10..no homosexual will inherit the Kingdom of God. what don't you understand about that verse? Sounds real clear to me. David and Johnathan were friends..stop reading something into their relationship that isn't there. you have no proof that they had sex no do you? you twist Gods word to fit your lies..God wouldn't contradict himself. its wrong and it will always be wrong, God is holy, homosexuality is a perversion, they don't mingle together, so repent and leave that perverted life.

[guapobear]

The correct translation of that verse refers to child molesters.. but you don't care about correct translations, do you?? Stop living in la-la land.. Your theology only began about 150 years ago... so god just began revealing the truth to all you slave trading, native american killing, flat-earth walking witch burners in that time??? just take a deep breath and go tell the people at the nursing home that homosexuals are going to hell..if that's the ministry god has called you to..

[shanana000]

your in such denial, that verse clearly says homosexuals, go and do a study from the dead sea scrolls and see that the translation is the same. your pathedic attempt to create false infomation is laughable..i don't go to nursing homes to tell them about gays..i stand up for truth like i'm doing now..if it comes up i don't back down from it. i believe God's word to be truth, not your made up lies. repent and come to truth, and stop with your sad arguments. they don't stand up.

[guapobear]

clearly.. in your opinion... you will never get it... you want religious freedom for YOUR interpretation of the bible and none for anybody else.. so... guess what.. it's all a "says you" issue... and the last time I spoke with God, and he talks to me too, honey lamb, he had nothing to say about my sex life.. So, when you go to the section of heaven marked "reserved for homophobes"... you have a good old time... I'll be over with the normal folk praising the Lamb of God along with the 24 Elders..

[shanana000]

I pray that your heart be softened to the calling of God's truth. God help you.

[CandyLaydee]

shanana000 totally agree with you!

[Livingnbfe]

candy...thank you for your opinion. You are young still and cannot poosible have the years behind you to have read and studied the Bible as I have. The time to have the message of it sink in. You still look at rules and applications and make black and white statements. Overlaying the whole book is the message of love and mercy and social justice and that NO ONE is good enough without Jesus. it is NOT about orientation. It is not about who YOU are , it is about who HE is. cont'd

[Livingnbfe]

oops, I am in my friends' account..this is ME CANYONWLKR and those comments above are mine.back to it. How self focused we can be when we make it about ANYTHING we can or do do.You obviously do not know gay Christians, I do, I know hundreds. Someone forgot to tell them that they can't be both, because they are. AND as a generality, the GC's I know are a more tolerant kinder , more merciful bunch than the straight christians. That is what happens when pople persecute you in Christ. try kindness

[CandyLaydee]

ok thats your opinions..when there's going to be judjement day for the gays we'll see which opinion is right-your or mine

[shanana000]

your only hope is in God's pervision, His Son, God made a way for you to live with him in eternity..but your part is to believe in what God says it true..and to repent to Him and go and sin no more. He is your only Hope. if your trying to say its okay with God for you to continue to live a gay lifestyle, then all you've done is created your own God.. and that god doesn't exist.

[guapobear]

Stop worrying about gays having babies and go to GOOGLE and give $10 or more to help the helpless victims of the cyclone in Burma... Let God worry about all of us other heathens...

[andytoz]

I am a gay atheist but I have to say I'm so impressed by you. I wish more christians shared your attitude.

[TomAtheist]

ditto

[canyonwlkr]

frost 2047 if you are the one human that does it all right , I would love to meet you. I cannot seem to get it right for two straight hours. I do not intend this to be nasty, but ...if indeed you consider homosexuality a sin, then why is this THE one that is the non negotiable one? I would rather be merciful than right. Love justice and do mercy, good advice from God. The whole hangs on this. Kindness will ALWAYS attract, bigotry will divide and damn. I am comfortable with my position.

[singinsuperman]

Thank you so much for this! We need more Christians like you in this world! =)

[frost2047]

This is amazing. way to totally warp christianity. Although Jesus did eat with sinners, he did so to save them, not to aprove of their actions. To say that the Bible approves of Homosexuality or that Christ thinks that its ok is a total warp of the text. God Bless

[HarlequinWays]

Thank you for sharing.

I think it's very important and powerful that you, being a straight Christian, speaks on behalf of gay christians.

It reminds of me of when abolishionists helped to free the slaves...sorta.

There is something powerful that happens when people outside of the persecution and sphere of bias come to help those in it.

[gerbilsrthebest]

I am also straight, but I still strongly support gay people, and anyway, if God didn't approve of gay people, then why did he make some people be born gay?

God loves EVERYONE! Don't let your orientation stop you from being who you are!

[Yaddahoo]

Awesome video. I can tell you have a heart for gay people. God loves everyone. Not just the straight people.

[solovief]

Kathy, I love finally hearing your voice. I love this video. I love your heart! God bless you! And God bless all my brothers and sisters, straight or gay, Christian or not. God loves ALL of you!

~Bill in Tampa

[thereckoner1]

Thank you sooooooo much for posting this video. I had almost lost hope in the Christian community because of the rampant hatred towards gay people. It seems everywhere I look within the Christian community people are speaking out against the gay community and it's refreshing to hear another point of view. Thank you so much, if I were closed and could afford it I would like to go to this conference. Maybe some day ;).

[inhisname22]

thank you for your support, kathy! it was so encouraging meeting you at the conference! g-look w/ your V-logging!

[taralst1]

THANK YOU for listening, I can't say enough what this means as a gay christian!!!

[gaymilitaryman]

Thank you.

[Pentecostal19]

wow this is a stupid video

[GayRightsAdvocate]

why do you think this video is stupid? Why didn't you try starting a dialogue?

[cubscoutii]

Have you thought of running for a political office?

You are an inspiration.

[MarioReno2]

Hey Kathy...great job!  Your work on this issue is invaluable, keep it up. Love Ya

[nehalecky]

Good job Kathy, keep fighting the uphill fight.

[harker3355]

See you there!

[nickwylie]

[Nehmi]

Thanks for doing this! See you in DC. Great job. You're a teacher? So am I!

[lyiebyb]

Great job and thank you so much for your courage and partnership...love ya, Rayona

[liteofthesoul]

You go girl! I'm so proud to call you my friend! It awesome to hear about the uniting church instead of the divisive one! Go God!

[Livingnbfe]

Great info! Looking forward to the conference! It will be amazing.
