Who Were the first Gay Christians?
LGBTQ Christians have existed since the beginning of Christian history. Early Christian martyrs, Sergius and Bacchus, are perhaps two of the first gay Christians whose story needs to be shared.

Satan's phony Christians. They don't even know that the Bible has thousands of lies in contradiction it's all mumble jumble where it's added into Canada is not complete. They think what's perfect has come is the Bible. They think the Bible is inspired by God. They think the Bible is breathed by God. These phony Satan Christians don't even have understanding. The Bible is just recorded history of what God and Jesus told them what to do. But Bible worshipers they are always claiming those words for themselves. They can't find their names in the Bible book. Why would a holy spirit child need a Bible if they have God in them. The holy spirit will tell them the true history of God's people not to tainted version in the Bible. The Bible is basically true. You can read the Bible for history hey that's okay. It's not good for faith.

You contradict yourself! You say you don't believe the Bible is God's Word, and that it is full of errors. Yet you say you believe God's Word means Jesus and you believe what He teaches. Well, where did you learn about Jesus. I will tell you where...from the Bible that you do not trust! Jesus believed in the Holy Scripture as God's Word. He said "Thy Word is truth" The fact that the Bible was written in 3 different languages, by at least 40 authors over a period of almost 1600 years and yet maintains it's unity (with no errors I might add), all proves that the Bible is a supernatural book. Yes, it was written by men, but the Bible says in II Peter 1:21...."For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" Jesus did not question the truthfulness of the scriptures! He used the expression "it is written" 18 times...the Bible itself claims to be the Word of God...the expression "the word of God" is used 49 times, "the Word of the Lord" 258 times, "thus saith the Lord" 415 times. That's over 700 times the Bible claims itself to be God's Words. The God who divinely inspired men to write His Word is certainly capable of preserving His Word, which He has done.The fulfilled prophecies, scientific facts and history authenticates the Bible as God's Word. If you are worshipping some other Jesus than the one in the Bible...then you are worshipping the wrong Jesus! I am afraid you are being led by the unholy spirit and leading others to destruction!

Good video, I especially liked the "eat the rich" quip. That said, saying Jesus wasn't a socialist because it wasn't invented yet is a bit of a cop out. The concept of capitalism wasn't invented either, so by that same logic he wasn't a capitalist. Were Jesus living in modern times, I'm feeling pretty confident you wouldn't see him ringing the opening bell at the NYSE. His described behavior really doesn't model either modern ethos (as they are currently defined), but his actions are much closer to socialism than any tenets of capitalism and that's obvious to most and not a matter of debate.
@Mason, please the Holy Bible as I will refer to it as is not just any book, the Bible is a guide to we living on this Earth, why did God told Joshua to meditate on the word day and night. A word is something that comes out of a mouth(oral) but when written it becomes a law or a-said-word or a laid down tradition which is proven, and received. To say the Bible is not the word of God is to look at it from a natural perspective that's physical material but it has an emotional perspective, and a revelational(spiritual perspective) and to really understand it you need to grasp all three. It's no secret the THE LORD IS TRINITY. He created us in His own image. Every human is a spirit(spiritual or revelational perspective), has a soul(emotional perspective), and lives in a body(physical perspective). Pls seek understanding from the Lord with regards to content like this with all due diligence else you may lead people away especially new Christians. Thanks so much. Much Love.
Being completely powerful does not mean that you are going to take your power and use it. I actually think you need a Bible study. You have a lot of thoughts that only show you have not really studied the scriptures. So sorry.

I get what you are doing by trying to get Christians to support the Palestinian cause but you need a new strategy because this is not it. I see a whole bunch of these videos popping up but my personal favorite is "Jesus was a muslim" 😂 I might be an ex-Christian but this makes me cringe so hard that the Holy Spirit is telling me to support the Christians on this😂 I know Chritians can say dumb things but you don't have to mock them like this😂
@@Skies133 did you watch the part of the video where i said jesus wasn’t a palestinian?
Yes, and then you said he was Palestinian because his life experiences were similar or the same to those of Palestinians today (I'm not going down that Rabbit hole). The only thing I agreed with was the part about Christians' reasons for supporting Israel are shady 😒😒 that Kurk movie gave me nightmares.😮💨😮💨 You are grasping at straws and need a new strategy. Perhaps Muslims could bond with Christians over all the stuff they hate together? They do have that in common. I get the feeling you might not agree with them on that. 😉
@ oppressive systems are things we all should bond over
@@masonmennenga Again I see what you are trying to do but from one ex-Christian to another (I think you mentioned in your video you no longer practice), this will not work because they believe with all their hearts that this is supposed to happen for the second coming of Christ🤯 You cannot reason with religious people but this approach is only going to push them away further. Also, I don't support this cause exactly because it is a religious war not political. Good luck.
@ but not all christians do believe that. i’m hoping more and more christians realize this and there is a lot of data that more and more christians become disillusioned with conservative christianity

One that you may have missed: The story of Jesus' resurrection was allegorical, not literal. His body has not spent the past 2000 years floating around in the upper atmosphere. And so it will not return by floating down from the sky. But Jesus had already shown us the true meaning of "the return" when He explained (in Matt 17:10-13) that John the Baptist was the return of Elijah. As you may recall, Elijah had already ascended to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11) long before the time of Jesus and John. Evangelicals don't seem to want to consider this interpretation of "the return".
Check HERE OR you will perish. #toldya
The word hell came from 300 AD, Jesus never taught about a burning hell for unsaved, no, the real words in the bible in the original langauges is sheol, hades = death, and Valley of Hinnom= a physical place outside Jerusalem where they burned trash, & gehenna= second death, which the latter is the absence from the life giver, so they will go into total annilation. And the dead are sleeping until we are resurrects. and some to eternal life and some to eternal death. Only the saved got eternal life, if someone would be forever in hell, they would have eternal life, and an imortal soul. Thats unbiblical

I just read through several of these comment threads Mason and I’m sorry you have to deal with this onslaught of sexually repressed and frustrated young men. Gods blessings to you and thank you for the content.
No, Trump is not a Christian and let me tell you why (several reasons) 1. He couldn't name a single quote from the bible, probably because of his disdain and hatred for reading: th-cam.com/video/ERUngQUCsyE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BmJrR6N93SkrP9BA 2. He is an avid liar. I think Trump told something around 30-40k falsehoods during his presidency. Thus, no one should really trust him just when he says "I'm a Christian." Exhibit A being #1 where he failed to rehearse a single bible verse. 3. In the thumbnail photo Trump was asked if the bible he was holding was his bible, he replied "It's A bible". This means he just picked up a random bible on the street for a photo op. And just look at the way he holds it. Seems pretty disrespectful to me. 4. Trump cheated on his wives, and specifically Melania not long after giving birth. With a pornstar of all the things! Then, he paid her hush money to prevent her from saying anything that would prevent him from being president! I don't know how him being arrested for this proves him being a Christian?? I think it rather proves the opposite really. And if this is something that Christianity advocates for, then count me out! 5. When Trump did take a quote from the bible, he said it wrong "Two Corinthians". The guy doesn't know what he's talking about, and he constantly refers to the bible as a "book" and compares it to his own "The Art of The Deal." The truth is, Trump is a narcissist that thinks he is the best at everything, meaning he can never be wrong, and he can never lose because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth! What does the bible say about billionaires again? Oh, they didn't even exist! But they don't say very nice things about the wealthy to say the least. Something about how they'll burn in hell. That's Trump. 6. The only reason he does cater to evangelicals (like yourself) is like you said, because that's the demographic of his supporters NOT because he himself believes it. I'm sure if his supporters were majority Muslim or Jewish he would switch up quick! Why do you think he continued doing the rallies as president? Because he needed a constant ego boost! All he really cares about is getting votes so that he can get back in office and have power. The only reason he seems to care about his supporters is because they are the ones keeping him in power. Of course he's gonna like them! But that's all they really are to him unfortunately. Why do you think he let them freeze outside a rally once? 7. He tries to profit off the bible. Along with getting elected through its supporters, Trump is now even trying to profit financially off the bible. Did you see how he tried selling his own "patriotic" version of the bible?! All he did was add the U.S. Constitution to it and sold it for $30 or something... This seems downright blasphemous to me. No way is it okay in Christianity to alter a holy book for person financial gain. And frankly, idk how Christians can even support him Edit: I watched more of your video and I didn't even think of the fact that he never asks for forgiveness or regrets anything he's ever done despite many of the horrible things he has said or done in the past. Anyway, I appreciate you tackling both sides of this video and I feel like you deserve more subscribers!
Katy Perry fan here. To my knowledge, "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" does have its roots relating to Katy. I've also heard that "The One I'm Waiting For" may be about Katy. I saw someone compare the song to "I'm Still Breathing" With the "I'm still waiting" line from that song. Idk if it is confirmed, but the two do seem related. If you look back at Katy's old music from her years with Columbia records when she was recording her album (A) Katy Perry (which may be a self-title) there were many songs that were co-written by Thiessen. I actually follow him on social media still lol I also wanted to correct you when you said they dated until 2006 because that is incorrect. Katy had another infamous relationship in between with Johnny Lewis from 2005 - 2006. Katy began dating Travie McCoy sometime in 2006 until December 2008. He actually had Katy in a music video for Cupid's Chokehold and I'm told that was about the time they started dating. According to people close with Travie, he was friends with Katy before the video but he had a crush on her so he called her up and got her in the video. The lyrics also appear to be about her "And she's even got her own song." I almost forgot about Jennifer Knapp, so thank you for bringing her up! I don't think Katy was really ready to give up Christian music until she left Columbia and signed with Capitol. Katy said in an interview that she wanted to be like the Amy Grant of Christian music, but it didn't work out so she "sold her soul to the devil" to make pop music. I assume she meant this metaphorically. Anywho, Katy wasn't very popular in the Christian music scene, with rumors that Katy Hudson only sold 200 copies, but some more reliable estimates have the number between 2k-10k copies sold. You can check the archives on the Wayback machine for katyhudson.com this used to be her old website before she changed her name! It's also possible that Katy gave up on Christian music when she decided to work with Glen Ballard who is a mainstream music producer that worked with Alanis Morissette and even Michael Jackson. Katy left the Christian music capitol of Tennessee to LA to pursue her career in pop-rock music. Her main inspiration at the time was Alanis, and you can hear it both in her music and from her choice of producer. I almost forgot to mention it, but when Katy worked with The Matrix back in 2004, she credited and gave thanks to Matt Thiessen. It is on the back of the CD. So they at least dated until the end of 2004 or early 2005. I still find it really cool how they worked on Dressin' Up later in Katy's career! They used to make a lot of music together and Katy even said he was one of her top music inspirations. I do think he contributed a lot to her rock persona back then. Not sure if you noticed it, but Matt is also visible in the Long Shot music video. Also, both The Box and Long Shot music videos were filmed within the same room! I'm not sure if Matt is in another one of her videos, but it is a cool little cameo! Oh, and last but not least, I only just got into Relient K after finding this out about them, and, despite me not being a Christian, I think they make pretty good music. Sorry for the long comment. I'm quite passionate about this 😅
Did Jesus openly commit genocide and light babies on fire in the Holy Land like the Democrats are RIGHT NOW?
