Discussion of Romans 1:26, is it possible that we have had this wrong?

I had always understood Romans 1:26 to say that being gay was the sure ticket to God turning His back on you. But does it really say that? Join a straight Christian for another possible view of it. Romans 1:27 and 28 in another video.

Kathy, I care about my generation. I want my generation to be a God fearing one. Not a self focused, self worshiped generation.God is bigger than sexual orientation, he is not the author of confusion. He doesn't create gender confused people. Jesus says to deny yourself and pick up your cross. "being true to yourself" isn't biblical at all. I know you generally care about the gay community, that's great! But lying to them and yourself that the gay lifestyle is acceptable to God is hateful.

@ApoIogetics honey, your job is to love and serve not be anyone's morality police. You have zero insight into the glbt community. I more than generally care dear one. I am called to this and have God's passion. Find something good to do with your life and do it. I am not lying to anyone; there is no such thing as a gay "lifestyle" and you are now blocked. I want NOTHING to do with you or your interesting father REPRESENTINGTRUTH. I have all the info I needed on him to report him and have in NV.

well...you've obviously made up your mind...hopefully others may see the error of your conclusions

@skubrats thank you fro the reply--I used to think as you do. I thought I had it settled until the holy Spirit changed me. You should understand "calling" --we don't pick it, but we do get to honor it or not. I am honoring mine and I understand that it offends some. I would encourage you to attend some glbt affirming congregations and LISTEN to the hearts, spirits and stories of those of your friends that are gay Christians. CONTD

@skubrats CONTD You may have benefited from attending the GCN conference when it was in your city. I too hope that you stay pliable to the Holy Spirit and submit your mind to Him. Get yourself in a place of worship with glbt people and see what your Spirit says to you. When the Holy Spirit trumps man made interpretations you hold, you may need to rethink your biases. You have enough people around you that are affirming and still you hold tight to an anti-gay stance. CONTD

Respond to this video... P3. It is not my job to shift you. My best use is encouragement of the rejected glbt believers, invitations to come back to those who the church has cast aside and education of the Christians that know the treatment and rejection of the glbt community is not in line with their revelation of Jesus. Marriage and civil equality are not religious issues. Equality however is. Listen to some of those around you. And yes, no, you will not shift me. Thank you for watching.

@skubrats Thank you for your personal (uneducated) opinion.

@spykhiboi I recomment you read this bible verse: Psalms 118:8. People are flawed, and pastors and preists often get it wrong, trust only in Jesus Christ when you search for truth. If you trust him fully he will send you the answers you seek.

@ApoIogetics Why be afraid of God? People run away because christians like to condemn us, and we want nothing to do with God. We should love and cherish God, not fear him.

thank you so much Cathy for your work. I was in the verge of coming out when i was hurt by the church telling me i am condemn and bound to be doomed. Thank God for his grace, it only took me 2 weeks to reconcile my faith and my sexuality. i am originally from the Philippines, 31m gay christian and was in Singapore when all this coming out thing happened. I now lived in Mobile, AL and still unchurch mainly because of the fact that I could not find a gay affirming church. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

It's HIGHLY doubtful the acts of the individuals Paul mentioned would have been ANY less "unnatural" or "vile" if they had been heterosexual among UNmarried men and women. There is also practically NO chance the recording of their acts would have been exploited to condemn all heterosexual relationships including marriage. Such only emphasizes the tragic double standard too many hold of the different orientations.
