QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS VIDEO

Q: Wait, "Gay Christian Network"??? Isn't "gay Christian" an oxymoron?

A: Not at all. "Gay Christian" refers to any Christian who is attracted to the same sex. Some gay Christians are in or seeking gay relationships ("Side A") while others believe the Bible calls them to celibacy ("Side B"). Our organization supports all gay Christians, regardless of side.

...but then again, if you watched the video, you'd know that.

I would love to know where these txt are I need to see and post them on my blog and also tell my parents

[GayChristianNetwork]

@testchrome1994 I think a lot of the information you're looking for can be found on our website under "The Great Debate."

[nantapatt]

interesting. i'd like to know what your take on this position is. would be very helpful brother. i believe those verses weren't misinterpreted. homosexuality is a sin. however, i believe it is natural. the same way we have a sinful nature. so that means, you and i are on the same boat as i sinfully lust after the opposite sex. now that we're both on equal ground, what's left? repentance.  it is still wrong but not to the point of hell. but we better FIGHT it and live a life of repentance.

[GayChristianNetwork]

@nantapatt It sounds like you are what we call a "Side B" gay Christian.  There are many members of GCN who share your opinion. I encourage you to read "The Great Debate" on the GCN website.

I really wish your video had more than 32K views. I've known to many Christians who have turned their back on religion because of subjects like this. Jesus loves everyone and people can't understand that. When it comes time for God to judge me I will say, "I loved everyone as I love myself, as you commanded me to in Mark 12:31" I think that would be better than saying, "I hated people because you hinted at that in obscure passages in the old testament." Love not H8!

I like churches that welcome everybody whether they are gay or not. But the gay pride flag and blessing of same sex unions does get a little carried away

side A!

[tainorebelde1]

Hey there... I was praying this morning for clarity in this matter, Wonderful work.... I promise to continue praying and searching. Thanks.

[nintendonerd2011]

Thank you Justin

[LuminousPhenomenon]

I am gay and I truly believe in God and Jesus even though I lean towards "side B". Maybe it seems hypocritical because most of my life I have had relationships with men, but there is something in me that doesn't feel 100% comfortable about it. I love my gay community, but sometimes I wonder...

[SpiritualRaiin]

I'm not gay but I support gay people (no matter what religion they are) and I get a lot of crap from people around me saying that I don't truly believe in God (be of Christian faith) or I'm disobeying him in some way if I'm supporting gay rights, among other reasons that are unrelated to this topic. But I'm glad you made this channel. And I subbed, I'd like to learn more about this topic. Thanks for sharing!

[theyneverknow]

I'm very anti-religious, but I have nothing against people who do believe, and thank you for being one of the few people that are making people see that idiots like WBC aren't to be an example for religious people

[startinglifenew2011]

Thank you for this! I have really been struggling with the fact that I am attracted to girls bit also love God and want to serve Him! This was helpful and encouraging!

[RayWalls76]

I wish god would of made all the gay men women. There is just way too many men in this world :'(

@ondfritz2 We are saved by changing our mind about all of our sins and accepting Jesus as our Friend, God, Lord, and Savior.
