@yabruf You miss the point. I do NOT suggest or infer that the man carrying the pitcher of water is gay. Rather I point out that his is an extraordinary gender tea greasing act. He is not performing like a male, rather as a female. I have no idea WHY but that Jesus told the disciples to look out for a gender variant person to help them out in finding a place for their last supper is significant. My scholarship unearths the many gender non-conforming people in the Bible.

You are definitely injecting alot of your own beliefs into your personal interpretation of the stories in the bible. There were eunuchs in the bible but just because they were castrated doesn't mean they were gay.  The man carrying the water that Jesus's disciples talked to about passover is a big time stretch on thinking he is gay. One last thing, you are'nt supposed to conform to the world which you seem to be advocating.

I never say that these people in the Bible are gay. I say they are gender-variant, not acting or presenting like the men and women around them. You need to watch the vid more closely.

as a Christian woman and a mother of a transgender teenager I would like to thank you for posting this video. I already knew my son was special and wonderful reguardless of being born in a female body.

I believe God put me in the body He put me in for a reason.

This video moved me to tears. I clicked on this expecting a terrible horrible rant but instead I was overwhelmed by your kindness and compassion for the human race. I am no longer a christian because of the persecution I have witnessed but I must say. I have never seen anyone closer to Jesus than you. Thank you and I truly hope you keep making videos.

FREE YOURSELF MORE, because all I can see that more and more believers of all religions want to have morals of now, and not of the ancient times. Pop the buble and stop believing in 'Jesus, or whatever'. Just live, why accept and live a religion that doesn't accept you. I know lots of people want to be part of something bigger than themselves, well life in his whole is already being part of something bigger. All nature, evolution and reccesion, progression, finding happiness is already a journey

Thanks for posting this video. It's great to finally come across a christian who understands us. For a long time I have disliked christians and churches because of their hate and hypocracy. I still dislike many christians today. But I know there are a few who are out tthere who are great people. Now I focus on Christ iinstead of modern Christianity. What a difference!

I'm glad you're not MY teacher, you bigoted asshole.

[KristenMac100]

For those who hate and discriminate against transgendered people probably have never talked with on of us that just live normal lives and believe in God. We are not monsters and in many cases we will help the homeless and hungry.

Instead of trying to find passages that justify your hate, listen to Jesus when he says What you do to the least you do to me. Jesus also told us to love each other as he loves us.

Open your eyes an see the wonders God has given us and rejoice.

There are so many stories in the Bible about unusual people chosen by God to carry a message. Perhaps we should learn from these examples and allow our hearts and eyes to be opened.

So you equate a dude carrying some water to him being a homosexual? What are you smoking man??? And your gender variant excuse is a load of crap, sorry for my use of words but it is. By your reasoning if the bible does not explicitly point out why or why not someone is not playing their appropriate role for that time that it is ok to assume they are a homosexual?!? Dude really? You do realize if it weren't for the bible homosexuality would be rampant. Gods word is all that stands in the gap man!
