Amazing. Comparing adulterous temptations to homosexual ones... the two are not remotely comparable! In one instance you have a man who has the option of a monogamous, lifelong sexual partnership and in the other you have the option of no sexual partnership at all, for life. That, or involve someone of the opposite sex in the hypocrisy, lie, and sexual desert of a sham marriage. Do you really think that's God's plan, Ravi?

@Kaddywompous and in the end all sides end up crying "oh, boo hoo hoo, everyone's always picking on me" when all along that was the least important of matters & just a deceptive distraction from the real truth. This is something that plays out in the super-consciousness,not in this physical realm. We are all really just energy condensed, matter doesn't exist but what we perceive as reality & our "self" is nothing more than the collective imagination of ourselves & of reality. Bill Hicks style :)

@yowanvista I think your response is far too harsh. Given what most people will say on the topic, Ravi's response is very eloquent and genuine. He mentioned nothing of the usual "fire and brimstone" that usually comes with homosexuality. His response was a real-world answer and he gave sound reasons behind it. If you feel that it is just "religious crap" go watch some other channel. There's plenty of Bible-bashing on YouTube as well.

that makes sense lol. thank you :)

[jeffreysbrother]

what a complete sham. Within this framework there is absolutely no way to deal with androgen insensitivity syndrome. This is what you get when attempt to live your life according to some crazy collection of documents.

@lightning745 The Christian walk is really just the process of letting the Holy Spirit within us regenerate our minds and actions to conform to God's will as opposed to what we "really" are, which is depraved sinners; 'tis our lot until Judgment Day, no? According to Jesus, hatred = murder, so I think we all qualify there, "at heart" (Matthew 5:21-22). All Christians are sinners, led by the Spirit to "not act on" our sinful desires. The Pauline epistles in general center around this idea.

@Maggiecoog You may have missed the part in the video about sexuality being sacred and homosexuality being a transgression of that sacredness. A church whose leadership (and Christian members) doesn't view homosexuality as a sin probably isn't much in the way of a Biblically Christian "church" at all.

8 minutes talk to say 'NO'. What a long-winded homophobe! The fact that he compares homosexuals with polygamists shows how stupidly ignorant he is. Thankfully this mentality is declining fast.

@Maggiecoog Like the way the catholic church mistreats gays? The place is run by them and are only rebuked officially when they have been found to have molested dozens.

Mankind and woman kind? I thought we were all mankind.

acceptance? NEVER won't ever happen

This is a war against ALL SIN not just homosexuality. All sin is a rebellion against God. However we shouldn't shun people who are homosexuals but show them Christ. Christ sat down with sinners but he did not once APPROVE and SUPPORT THEIR SIN. Instead "go and sin no more". Stand for whats right and if people hate the truth, their quarrel is not with you but with God himself. After all Jesus didn't nail himself to the cross. If my words here are wrong then please forgive me, God guide you all!
