do all christians think the same suggested by wig connick probably not but let's find out stick around till the end enjoy the episode you're like well i want to love who i want to love there's that attraction it's like where do you draw the line i'm a grown man i like little boys i know you don't agree with that and i know that it is the same i like christian music three two one go oh man some christian music is good and some of it is lame but that's the same with like any kind of
any genre music is the same way i have to be like in a certain setting or a certain mind state to listen to it i kind of agree that some is good and some is bad but i kind of feel like 60 to 70 of it is not good or like exciting but maybe i'm kind of traumatized because i could only listen to christian music when i was a kid so now i'm like that's relatable yeah that might be part of it two one go [Music] i mean i'm gay i'm from like a little town
in texas it's difficult to not question your faith because you're told that gay people can't be christians or christians can only follow these certain rules that are set out so for me when i started to grow and to get a relationship with christianity myself is whenever my faith became stronger but it was definitely difficult and i'm still really going through that right now there were things that i felt like i was born knowing that god loved me and that god was good and then when i came into the church a little bit later there were
some beliefs because i'm queer so that people were just like this is what it is and you can't be this and like this is not but the reason i'm in this line is because i never felt that from god i still felt like he loves me [Music] i support the lgbt community when we mention support it means to accept and i don't accept the lifestyles within the community but do i love them do i want the best for them i absolutely do do i think that we should be mean to them in church do i
think that we should shun them from church no and i'm sorry that you guys had that experience because that is awful that is horrible no one should go to a church and feel like you need to run away from it it's interesting though because the thing that has hurt me the most is actually the language with which you're speaking which is more confusing i think no one actually shunned me it was more like this more like i love you but like god kind of wants to like send you to hell i do have christian friends
who are queer or gay and they're struggling they're abstaining from the lifestyle but the lgbtq community says there's nothing wrong with that lifestyle they're proud of that status not remorseful or trying to be aligned with what the bible says about it you are literally picking one part of the bible that you believe and throwing away everything else there's like certain materials that we're not supposed to wear there's certain foods that we're not supposed to eat but we don't discriminate against people who do that but we do discriminate against people who literally just love someone different
if you're gonna disagree with it you also have to understand like the weight of what you are asking a queer person to do when you look at someone and you feel like they're attractive and you have to disagree with that part of yourself every second of the day you have to tell yourself that's freaking wrong that's freaking wrong at like every second like you don't think that i should i should not marry a woman that i love i'm not saying you should be alone i'm saying at the basis of anything i want you to be
who god created you to be and i know that for you you're believing that i was created this way to love this way but i would actually wonder because you're like well i want to love who i want to love there's that attraction but when i it's like where do you draw the line when there's i'm attract i'm a grown man i like little boys i am a person and i know that you don't agree with that but there are lines because i know you don't agree with that and i know that it is the
same i think the lgbt is like a huge topic within the christian community but it doesn't make it any worse than like i drink and stuff and sometimes i drink in excess which is the sin um but it just doesn't get that's normalized you know i mean like that doesn't get attacked as frequently as like a lgbt would the community would you know what i mean i just define support differently i think you can completely support somebody's right to love and feel love without supporting homosexual activity homosexual activity is sinful raping a child is sinful
we can argue about what's worse or what's more acceptable or what our society has normalized but the end of the day we all sin we all sin in different ways and none of those sins should be celebrated none of those sins should be condoned and all of us should be working not to change who we are but to become more like christ [Music] god loves you got some explaining to do over there it sounds great to say god loves everybody and does and god does love everybody but i don't believe equally he loves his own
children more than the others in the world he would not send someone that he loves truly to hell he is love that's what his embodiment is so i think it's impossible for him to not show love towards his children i don't think it's there's varying degrees i think it's all standardized against everyone like everyone is left equally go [Music] sorry i'll go on this one i am married i've been married for almost 10 years to a christian man for me what i feel in the bible that god describes as a christian family is two people
husband and wife who are devoted to serving the lord together and we need somebody to come alongside us who is helping us to pursue our purpose and our calling in christ it's totally possible and often happens that people of different religions or someone who's a christian and that doesn't have a religion at all are able to still work together and are able to still help people grow in their faith i totally agree that i could learn from non-christians even benefit from relationships with muslims buddhists or other non-christians but the bible is specific about not being
yoked in marriage to unbelievers whether you're a muslim christian or a buddhist you find someone who doesn't share that i think you're missing something core in that relationship which won't work for any marriage but the thing is uh when you break down so many of the major religions a lot of the tenets are the same and we kind of believe the same thing inherently but that's where i disagree i think we're very different in terms of what we believe that we may have similar activities like going to church or a mosque but what i personally
believe about jesus is not shared with other religions no one else agrees with that i am waiting to have sex until marriage three two one go [Music] i wish i could be over there but i can't unfortunately i made some bad decisions when i was younger the people that i've been with prior there's always a piece of me with them you know what i mean like it's something i can never get back it kind of bums me out a lot because it's like i wish i could have saved myself all the way until marriage um
in all aspects of physical relations as far as sex goes i mean that party sold but i do think that as a christian i should be dating to find someone to be with long term or finding someone to marry and so part of that does involve sometimes waiting a little bit longer waiting longer to like have sex and to like really be intimate so i personally am actually not even kissing until i get engaged which a lot of people don't believe me about but i had a two-year relationship and i promise it happened i didn't
particularly like it but i just find so much strength and closeness to god in preserving my physical expression of love for people even though it's very very far from easy it's something i'm so excited for to be able to tell that person i saved this the most intimate part of myself for you because god was the only one who had a key to my heart before this yeah i'm not saying that i'm a good person but i'm saved by faith in jesus christ who forgives me of my sin i know where i place my faith
and that's why i know where i'm gonna go i don't know it's hard to know exactly what specifically is considered the biggest sins that will keep someone from going to heaven especially for me when i haven't put as much thought into it as i should christianity is not about just making sure you're checking off all the boxes to go to heaven i feel like that robs us of the heaven that's present here on earth all i'm responsible for is doing my best every day and i pray that i do that every day and i think
that's true for everybody everybody is just responsible for their best [Music] dude i feel like i could probably step on every one of these lines at a different point in my life because i grew up a christian but like changed so much over time uh if you want to grow and evolve with us yeah make sure you like and subscribe let us know what you thought in the comments below about all the prompts we love when you guys are answering them and we love to interact with you guys and as always make sure you follow
