Be The Change

Recorded and Produced by Marina Catala and Katie Covell.

Taking a look at the 2007 Soulforce Equality Ride and the Equal Rights Movements.

As a member of the 2007 Soulforce Equality it is overwhelming to see all that we did on video. Going through the experience was almost too surreal.

They show a clip from Baylor University (Waco, TX). I was arrested at Baylor after I wrote "God Loves All" in sidewalk chalk.

you said "God loves us all equally without reservation. Isaiah 54:1"

Now while this verse VERY true do you really think it pertains to your situation? It says he loves everyone, not everyone will go to heaven. But notice how Im not disagreeing with your orientation, but also dont you think its the private institutions fundamental right to allow whoever they want? hence the word "private"? they make the rules and you know them when you apply

[tenorcervantes]

as a private institution they do bear that right to stand behind their private property rights. but they are also an institution of education, where they are educating the individuals that LGBTQ people will be working with someday. the messages they teach them about the gay community will affect their interactions. they having conversations about "us" so we are bringing a face to the issue. because most of these students haven't ever met a gay person.

wow ... no wonder you've only had a few views. This is sick and pathetic. You're disillusioned if you think God accepts gay people. Stop choosing to be this way ... it's sad that you pretend to be so sexually confused just to feel like you have some purpose in your life!

[tenorcervantes]

i was more disillusioned when i thought that God didn't accept gay people. God loves us all equally without reservation. Isaiah 54:10

thank you for posting. more people need to find the truth for themselves and not just believe what is being taught to them. after being loud most of my life its easy to feel like your generation has dropped the ball -- but then there are people like you coming through in ways we couldn't have imagined 20 years ago. we are a minority that should always remind ourselves we are defined by love and not just sex positions and lust like the bulk of the world tries to corner us into.

[tenorcervantes]

being on the equality ride, i came across so many students at these school that believed that homosexuality was wrong because they assumed with had like 5,000 sex partners and were out-of-control people, it nearly shocked them to learn that there are actually people with morality...go figure.

[That0neChanne1]

yes we are equally loved by God, and no ones sin is greater then another and should not be gay. Its still a sin though that leads to eternal damnation and no one is born gay. there..

[toosweetkiki]

"There is no sin greater than the other". 4 all u Christians out there who are saying that they will go to hell you are sinning yourself; u are not allowed 2 condemn anyone, only God can do that! have u ever slept with anyone out of wedlock or sleep with a lot of people or committed sodomy on your girlfriend, or let her do it to you; Or do you curse or think bad thoughts about people. Well this man is married and is in a monogamous relationship. "Let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone."

Yes thats true God does love us all equally, but homosexual wont go to heaven

1 Corinthians 6

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

With all due respect I am somewhat offended by the portrayal of the Christian community in this video. I condemn any teaching of blaming homosexuals or that they deserve death. That's not what Jesus taught. Neither does it fit with Jesus' attitude towards people seen as 'sinners' by the Pharisees. I really hope you don't feel that most people out there are condemning because it's simply not true. I also hope that you continue to devote your life to the worship of our gracious and sovereign God.
