I didn't write this but I dictated it cuz I thought it was excellent. Truth, if you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I will come you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let's look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research and ongoing r&d. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Major agents such as testosterone estrogen and a host of other agents determine size weight hair color eye color and sexuality along with the host of other traits. Variations in the amount and timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in our development. The fetus is a passive participant and has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example and all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality is sin. If your religion or belief system states that it is then there can be no argument. These are the rules based on the system's dogma. If you accept this system you must accept these rules. This is your only choice which is condemnation. If however you are in belief system based on logic reason observation and common sense, and no reliance on spirituality the conclusion is totally different. Replace an ancient religion and mythology with reason leads to another conclusion. Leave in religions that use condemnation and ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exists many variations of human sexual expression. When you leave there is ancient religions beliefs behind and choose knowledge base and research, you can see and understand the true nature of humanity you leave ignorance hatred and prejudice behind. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair they are both based on genetics and clearly not sin there is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace ✌️

Why do so many supposed Christians worry about other people lives and their decisions? Worry about the plank in your own eye before you try to remove the speck from someone else’s?

I've only watched/listen to a few episodes so far, but I'm starting to wonder if there's ANYTHING that we agree on. LOL

Heretics gonna heresy.

Motown music was incredibly influenced by the music performers and musical language from the (Black) Church of God in Christ... Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, etc

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍🫡

I loved the different perspectives. Very insightful.

The Holy Spirit moves in whatever way HE wants to. YOU are not that powerful....even through the power of drums and electronic enhancement. Does music move us, of course. I can listen to Korn and feel a sort of exhilaration the same as in charismatic church, BUT it is not the same spiritual beckoning and response within the body. I feel its the same as David playing his harp in the field. God could feel the reverberations through David's soul connection of love through him that was surmounted by the playing of music. God created the chords and the drums of our ears to hear specific communication of connection and love with Him. It's not manipulation, its God and considering that YOU are creating that manipulation is like saying you believe you have His same power. That is the enemy. Just play, listen, attend, worship and trust that God is continually working on our spirits. Even in those homosexual spheres, the conviction is still there in their soul no matter what words or music is playing or else they would not be fighting so hard to be accepted. I hear the Holy Spirit and cry no matter where He desires to speak whether that be in silence, in my granny's church of Christ off key hymnal singing, watching a movie, the up and down service of the Catholic church, or the loud worship of evangelical church (all of which I've experienced). The point is, 2 Corinthians says that when you truly accept the Lord, the veil is removed. THAT is when you truly see that the Holy Spirit is speaking WHEREVER and WHENEVER HE wants to and we have no power over that other than prayer and surrender. ❤

Just the sound waves exiting the PA system

Kinda wanted to hear more from Sarah here; felt like one of the hosts kind of just dominated the discussion with rant after rant... :/

Tell me that there is not a Holy Spirit moment when you watch the latest from Glastonbury. Coldplay's Fix You with Michael J Fox joining on guitar, in a wheelchair. Truely moving , considering that MJ Fox is a hometown boy of mine, that my family has gone through loss and pain recently, that faith in Jesus and the song's message of "fix you" will not change the situations including M J Fox's illness. Tell me that a Godly Spirit is there in that space.

I have been out of the church for 20 years but I still love a good repetitive bridge in 3 part harmony from a black gospel choir. It makes me wanna run the aisles!!!

I think it helps alter your consciousness. It's common in other ecstatic forms of spirituality. I don't think it has to be an either or thing.

I love the title lol

Jeff Martin, how do i find his show?

After listening to all your hard no's to that list of basic beliefs of the church, i have to question why you bother calling yourself a Christian... what do you actually believe in? Lol

I heard the truth about Science from Dr John Lennox. Former founders of science, the Scientist were True Christians who truly believed in God in Christ Jesus. Wanted to spread the truth.

Dan… great job. Enjoying your podcast. - David Moses Perez

Love the conversation. Among many other leads, this lead me to check out McMillan’s “Peopled with Dreams.” So good!

Thanks Dan and John Mark! This was a fantastic conversation. I really appreciate both of you.

Nice

6/10 for me. As an exvangelical myself, I was way behind all evangelicals in watching it. Told my sister half of the show is SO BAD (disciples’ acting and dialogue) and the other half makes me ball (Jesus one on one encounters and story choices) 😭

As someone who has more progressive beliefes as you guys do, watching The Chosen is like a breath of fresh air. It's not a sermon in a movie or something that throws theology like many of the "Pure Flix" films are. It takes the story of Jesus and it gives it to you as it is with artistic creativity to fill in the gaps. Highly recommend

Appreciate the thoughtful discussion! (And no, we don't portray Mary as a prostitute). :)

You guys are making me want to give it another chance. Just so off putting that Dallas Jenkins is behind it. The Left Behind guy’s son 🤮.

Enjoyable

I relate so much to the point made at the end. Whether it be spaces on the right or left, when people speak with a high sense of certainty or black and white thinking it really turns me off. Being so entrenched in black and white thinking and sensing the need to convince everybody of my POV for so many years, I now feel a serious aversion to it, and being able to see the grey has brought a lot of peace and zest to my life. Great conversation, thanks.

Good take. Thnx. Often, the more we fight against others, the more we wind up imitating others. The progressive crowd fighting him are being energized by a very similar energy. (Btw, I’m implicated in all this too), but the point is, i think, the more we can do what u r doing here … be cool, find some common ground, but also identify problems … thats the only way forward. ✌🏼

That's the mail of Louisiana

That made me jump when the kid disappeared hehe

y’all are sensitive

Chick-fil-A in the background is 🤌🤌🤌

Except permission to comment on the Christian Dating Video. so many things wrong with your two feminist guests. Women complain about lack of masculine men yet these are the product of single Mother families. Women shouldn't complain when they get what they ask for. And women in the Church are just as materialistic and feminised as those outside the Church. Dating marriage is a non option, and women only have themselves to blame. But as we all know women are never held accountable for their actions.

I can relate to the trusting myself and agency, but honestly only a small part of that had anything to do with my faith. Mostly it was believing the Disney idea that I need to be nice to people to get them to like me romantically and if they didn't like me then I could double down and be even more nice. A book called Boundaries changed my life.

Best take on this. Generally best take one anything you find controversial online.

You aren't Christians. You worship the morality of the world.

This is the best take I have heard on the speech. Good stuff

Wow, SO weird to be watching you. I've listened to every YHP podcast...this is messing with my head! 🤣

Please do more of these episodes really interested to hear reflections on the whole thing. I’ve enjoyed watching the chosen and plan to rewatch it.

Romans 4 :5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Speaking about Jesus Christ and his death on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-10) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Believe in Christ,put faith in him , follow his 2 commandments,love God with all your heart, love your neighbor.

Has any orginazation ever been sued for such things?

All depends on what does it mean to you to be conservative,?

I'm all in a for a three body problem mini series.

A queer Christian is a oxymoron! It’s sad that we are accepting bad behavior into the Christian community. I pray that people in the gay community repent of their behavior but you cannot call yourself Christian if you are continue to be gay.

Shutting down the comments section to one of your previous videos doesn’t help to show that your open to finding solutions. If you talk about hard topic be prepared to hear some difficult push back when you don’t know the whole story.

Nobody has lost love for humans because they hold to sxual immorality being a sin. Every single time you make that claim you are indeed lying and baring false witness. And this narrative wouldn't survive without that claim.

What episode is this from?

Evidence: Do contrary to Christianity here on earth and see all hell in earth come towards you rapidly and won't let go even after your repent.

There's none.
