Currently, Church of England members of the clergy are not permitted to carry out same-sex marriages, whilst homosexual Anglicans are required to remain celibate. In recent years, however, the Church of Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church, and, most recently, the Methodist Church, have all embraced marriage equality. In February 2023, the General Synod met to discuss the issue, raising the question across the Anglican Communion and Christendom: should Christianity extend the sacraments to same same-sex marriages?

"I don't want a church that moves with the world, I want a church that moves the world." G.K. Chesterton
The gentleman before this one had a good quote about the world
"If the world is against the truth, then I am against the world." - Saint Athanasius of Alexandria
As long as they have fear off offending,they will never move the world. Jesus did not concern himself with offending, he told it as it was.
considering the atraucities the church has committed in the past and christians being so hateful among certain groups of people they are moving the world but not in the way lord jesus christ would want.
@@pdss2528 people ,NOT the church were misguided in the past and telling homosexuals they are sinners is NOT hate you secular call anything christian hate, bloody arrogance of you people.
Remember Paul wept and said “grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” This is what he meant.
Are you referring to Saul of Tarsus?
(Christ Jesus) _"On seeing the crowds, he felt pity for them, because they were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd"_ - Matthew 9:36 Chridt felt pity for the people, wandering aimlessly because their leaders, the Pharisees and Scribes, cared only about furthering their agendas and customs. The Church, today, are the modern-day Scribes and Pharisees. For they care only about their own interests.

From the Holy Scriptures 1 Corinthians 14: 33-35:
"For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church."
My children, 10 and 7, are capable of looking at scripture more reasonably and historically than the bishop of London. Amazing.
He is not a bishop his fake
Aaron Wright: Where did your children learn how to hate so much? From you. You can sex all this up anywhere you want and use any high hatted justification you like. However, you are a hateful wretched person. I feel sorry for your children and grandchildren.
Your children lack education as do you
🤣
Anglicans have as much religious authority as a guy who orders a certificate from an online ministry.
I have one question.
Why do Christians want to follow Christ in there own personal term and conditions and not on the terms and conditions of Christ?
It's the perennial sin, the reaching for the apple.
That, is the right question
Hi Muokwue. I would suggest that many people identifying as Christian have not had a true conversion, otherwise they would be following the terms and conditions of Christ. Unfortunately there are too many false conversions where Christianity is presented as a happy, blessed, peaceful life and God wants you to be happy. This is leading many "Believers "astray. Just look at how people in Jesus time lived once they were converted. If they were slaves, they continued to be slaves, if they were poor, they continued to be poor. Many were shunned and thrown out of their synagogue and community and many hunted and thrown to the lions. Following the teachings of Christ is no easy thing and is not to be entered into lightly. True believers are those that live by the word uncompromisingly, and sadly these days, are fewer and fewer. I hope this is helpful. Lyndal.
He said " STOP sinning or something worse will happen to you ! " He NEVER said " I'll teach you
how to come to terms with your sin..."
Because they are not, in fact, Christians.
This is what happens when Men go to school to learn about God, and rather not have a personal relationship and be taught of God. This is what happens when people take scriptures out of context for personal interpretation. But there's a reformation and revival coming across the horizon. We overcame.
It’s like there is no fear of God and no faith that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation.
@@doctor1alex Interesting no matter how much some preachers try to flip, twist and
spin the Scripture, it always sprngs back into shape again......

@@FatJoe98100 I'm a church going Catholic (didn't say a good one!) and really Christianity generally is waning in all of the West; Anglicanism and otherwise.
@@FatJoe98100 The Catholic Church is just lagging behind...a little bit.
It is in a headlong rush to catch up with the Anglican Church.
A synodal Church will no doubt look like the Anglican Church.
The German Synodal Way which likewise adopts all the same "progressive" doctrines is the first fruits.
@@AL_YZ Not if Pope Francis excommunicates the German bishops.
How is this in any way Christian? Seriously. The Scriptures are pretty clear.
There are those “Christians”, including clergy, who do not base what they believe on Scripture.
The scriptures have been retranslated through 4 or 5 different languages across 2000 years since they were originally written. Whether you like it or not, there’s room for interpretation.
It’s not true that the Scriptures have been retranslated 4 or 5 times over 2000 years. Scholars are constantly going back to more and more manuscripts from the original languages and retranslating. There’s no room for interpretation on plain dogmatic statements, such as “in the beginning God created..”
Were you saying the same thing when you attended your unmarried friends baby shower? Were you saying the same thing when you were in bed laying with that hot sexy thing you managed to get in your bed? Were you saying the same thing when you were wearing mixed fabrics? Were you saying that when you were at the buffet overeating?
The Scriptures are pretty clear on gluttony as well yet every “Thanksgiving” I know you’re stuffing your face. So what about the Scriptures then?
An Anglican priest says to a Catholic priest "I'm glad I'm not a Catholic" and the Catholic priest says "I'm glad you're not a Catholic as well."

Why even profess to be a Christian at this point lol. Just for the ticket to heaven?
@@ReverendDr.Thomas Pardon?
Classical Christianity is well and truly finished in the West
@7:10 Jesus made no mention of homosexuality because he was speaking primarily to Jews who knew the Torah, and that homosexuality was condemned.
Paul, however, was speaking to a Gentile audience and so needed to spell it out clearly.
I first learnt this from Becket Cook. Amazing testimony he has 🙂
They conveniently won’t mention the fact that Jesus also didn’t say anything about incest or bestiality either
Indeed, Paul was speaking to Romans and especially the Greeks
@@HarryFlashmanVC That's why he told them not to reject the Law (of God), but to uphold it.
Tammy : Yeshua did refer to end days being as in the days of Lot who lived in Sodom before it was destroyed, even though I believe Sodom was destroyed for many sins, not just homosexuality alone.
Fornication includes homosexuality, whether hetero or homo..So also does the sermon on the mount, & the proverbs, therefore Mark.9v45..
One thing I have learned… Rev. Calvin Robinson is a very powerful and compelling orator.
And he is true because bible is true
Compelling? I'm sorry Mousseline was compelling.
@@marksutton5540 i agree. To be a public speaker, you all want to learn to be compelling. The next question is what do YOU think about what they said. When you take away how they said it, and more so what they said. What does it mean to you?
Because The True Rev. Calvin Robinson is an Apostle of Christ! His speech is guided by the Power of the Holy Spirit. God will elevate this young man for speaking the Word.
And yet he says nothing
Oh dear, forgive me Lord for being judgemental but have mercy on his soul.😢
The Lord needs not have mercy on you because you are actually doing His work. Commendations rather shall be his remarks for rebuking sin and calling out falsehood for what it is.

"Now it is true, that when same-sex activity is mentioned in the Bible, such activity, is unequivocally condemned." Crucially, the Bible never explains why?" FULL STOP! As if God must explain himself to us, so that we might obey him? We might be looking at the same book here, but the attitude of our hearts could not be more opposed.
I haven't studied this, but I wonder if it explains why rape and murder are bad?

The West is done. Christianity falling is Western culture as a whole falling. In other words: we're fucked
The church has been driven to apostacy, may God have mercy on his soul for false teachers shall face harsher judgement.
@chrispark .. FYI - God does not show mercy to wilful apostates - this Rt. Rev. Dr (whatever) is already grieving the holy spirit by his misrepresentation of scripture - a serious offence in God's eyes. - Mark 3:29
Those that pray for mercy on behalf of apostates are sharers in their sin.
Who needs a "church" that follows man's laws, but NOT God's laws?
th-cam.com/video/PE9TDX_dqOo/w-d-xo.html
Jose H : The Church ALSO does not keep GOD'S LAWS. Just look at the 4th Commandment concerning remembering the Sabbath on the 7th day and keeping it holy, and the warning in Leviticus, (the SAME book Christians cite to condemn homosexuality), chapter 11 verses 10-12 where God calls the eating of sewage-imbibing shellfish an ABOMNATION 4 times in 2 verses.
Christians IGNORE & BREAK these just as much as any homosexual does with his 'verses.'
What's good for the goose is good for gander. You can't preach it then break it yourself!! 🙃
@@scented-leafpelargonium3366 please distinguish between moral and ceremonial law, mosaic law and law under Christ. while keeping the sabbath is interpreted to be moral law by some due to its inclusion in the 10 commandments. However, note to look at Romans 14:5 and Colossians 2:16-17 in some denominations, Christ is thought of to be our sabbath rest. Restrictions like the one you mentioned about eating shellfish doesnt apply to christians as the church does not equate to the nation of Israel, same is the case for circumcision and sacrifice in galatians 3:23-25
@@hanselchua7969 Why don't YOU distinguish between moral and ceremonial law, mosaic law under Christ?! The word you read rendered into English as "law" has 5 Hebrew different words.
They are not the same, plus the choice of the word "law" gives a very legalistic tone to it, whereas in the original language of the text it has the intrinsic meaning of "TEACHING," which means that Gentile denominational Christians claim not to be under God's TEACHING ("LAW"), as even the New Testament describes it as a SCHOOLMASTER, and schoolmasters are generally thought to be good in a moral society, not something that society would agree to do away with (plus Yeshua declared that He did not come to cancel out the "law" ("TEACHING") but to "fulfil," which means to keep the obligations of it to the nth degree, so fulfilling does not mean cancelling out.
The word TORAH which is the most common word rendered as "law" in English, is related to the word MOREH/MORAH (M/F) which means TEACHER, and TORAH simply means TEACHING.
This is seen in the naming of Mount Moriah as HAR MORI-YAH, or the Mountain of the LORD's Teaching, which was where the Temple was built, and where God TAUGHT Abraham a lesson concerning sacrificing his son Yitzhak ("Isaac") and where ultimately Yeshua taught in the Temple precincts, as the TEACHING of Yeshua is the SAME WORD as the word used for the OT "LAW" which is "TORAH," and which often gets translated as "doctrine" in some Bible versions.
So if we reject the TORAH ("LAW"/"TEACHING") of God in the Old Testament just because it is termed "law" in English, then we must reject Yeshua's TEACHING/TORAH as it is the same word!
There are NO SUCH TERMS in the Bible as MORAL LAW & CEREMONIAL LAW, as these are extra-Biblical man-made terms and get brought into conversations in an attempt to remove God's Law, but they are not in the Bible, and where they do occur, with some versions putting "ceremonial" concerning laws and clean and unclean animals etc, which is ADDED by men onto the Bible text in order to support their own doctrine, a thing that God warns people not to do.
The Bible says that sin is a transgression of the Law. How do we define sin without God's Law?
No wonder people come up with wrong conclusions on these things. One other word for "law" is "HOK" or "HUKKIM" in plural, which are rules and ordinances pertaining to the Temple and to BLOOD SACRIFICES, which the New Testament says have been nailed to the Tree, but that does not mean the Ten Commamdments of the Law of God or TORAH/TEACHING, only "HUKKIM."
Yeshua said, "If you love Me, keep My Commamdments," and Yeshua rested on the Sabbath.
The distinction between clean & unclean animals permitted to eat were cited by the Gentile Noah, long before there were any Jews or Israelites, and long before the "law" at Mount Sinai.
The Bible says that Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Surely as a Gentile He should have refused to listen to God about those distinctions and tell Him that they are only for Israelites!
Rather he boarded the UNCLEAN animals in TWOS purely for breeding purposes and the CLEAN animals in PAIRS OF SEVEN (14 animals) as they were needed in larger numbers for FOOD.
If Noah had have been a denominational "Christian" he would have eaten the UNCLEAN animals and they would have been extinct now, but He was OBEDIENT, unlike LAW-LESS Christians today.
If the unclean animals were "ceremonially" unclean, then this was God's great opportunity to wipe these "unclean" animals out, but they were called GOOD by God at creation, so they were not detestable in and of themselves, but because they were created with the express purpose of cleaning the planet as scavengers of any detritus, rotting carcases and even waste faeces (as pigs are known to do). Instead God kept them but instructed not to eat their flesh or even to touch their carcasses in some cases, due to high level of toxins in their flesh.
Why you think this is not a law for mankind from the Noachide laws that pertain to Gentiles, and which Christians can ignore putting their own health and the health of others at risk, when even my college tutors when I was training to be a Hilton Chef taught me that PORK & SHELLFISH were "HIGH RISK" foods, whereas the Bible does not even describe them as "food."
Also the doctors after my kidney transplant told me not to eat PORK or SHELLFISH due to the dangers it could pose for me, but denominational Christians say you can eat anything at all!
The Law is called "Mosaic" because Moshe ("Moses") was the channel through which God delivered the written law ("TORAH"/"TEACHING"), but he was not the author of it. God was the Author, so more correctly it is GOD'S LAW or TORAH/TEACHING, and the "law under Christ" that you describe is simply the TEACHING /TORAH ("LAW") of the Messiah, and both are in vogue.
It is only Gentile denominational Christians who disobey the New Testament by JUDGING OTHERS, when the Bible clearly warns NOT to judge anyone in food or drink (such as with eating clean animals according to the Scriptures), or in regard to a religious festival or "MOED," which is an "Appointed Time" set in place by God, such as Passover etc upon which day Yeshua was crucified, or concerning a NEW MOON, or Biblical 30-day lunar months in God's calendar, which are mentioned in the new heavens and new earth in Isaiah 66, and of course the SABBATH, which in the original text is singular, not "sabbaths," as there is only one Sabbath, apart from ANNUAL SABBATHS, such as the MOADIM or "Appointed Times," yet Gentile Christians still take me and others to task concerning these very things that the Bible tells us not to judge about!
Yeshua had to be taken off the cross before the Passover ANNUAL SABBATH, which can fall on any day of the week, but most ASSUME that the text means the regular weekly Sabbath on what the Gentiles now call "Saturday" in honour of the god Saturn, but it was an ANNUAL SABBATH, as there were TWO SABBATHS or "rest days" the week of the crucifixion. This oversight has caused many Gentile readers including theologians to conclude a Friday-to-'Sun'-day equation, when the Scriptures tell us that this Sabbath was a "HIGH DAY," not an ordinary weekly Sabbath at all, as the Bible NOWHERE mentions "Friday," or the Sixth Day, but only the PREPARATION DAY, which was the day preceding the annual Sabbath of the First Day of Unleavened Bread, and that Sabbath on Nisan 15th can fall on any given day each year.
It is this ASSUMPTION that has created the error that is "Sun"-day observance, when in fact Yeshua rose BEFORE the first visitors arrived at the EMPTY tomb very early on "Sun"-day. He was put in the tomb just before sunset, as all Biblical days begin and end at sunset, so according to His own prophetic words He would rise 3 days & 3 nights later (72 hours) JUST BEFORE SUNSET.
The only point before the first visitors came (as no one saw Him rise on "Sun"-day morning) to fit that time frame would be JUST BEFORE SUNSET at the end of the weekly Sabbath JUST BEFORE the onset of the first day of the (working) week. This in no way contradicts anything and our salvation remains gloriously the same, but the Biblical timings are more fully brought out.
Thus Yeshua is truly Lord of the SABBATH, but not of "Sun"-day at all, but few want to know.
Count back 72 hours from this point and we arrive at WEDNESDAY for the Crucifixion Day instead of Friday, as is assumed, and the Resurrection Day on the SABBATH, not on "Sun"-day.
This is a very serious error if the Church is teaching "Sun"-day as a verifiable fact, and the 36 hours from Fri to Sun instead of 72 with one full NIGHT MISSING makes Yeshua out to be a liar and a fraud.
Do we trust the prophetic words of Yeshua, or ecclesiastical tradition and hearsay of others?
Once the penny drops you will never view "Sun"-day in the same light again. SHABBAT SHALOM.
His whole argument seems to be held that science is the guide to interpret the Bible, not Christ’s teachings.
I find it interesting that the Lord Bishop accepts that the teachings of Church of England on Divorce goes against the very words of our Lord!! Looks like his argument is that, if we can go against the Lord's words regarding divorce, we can very well do for homosexual marriages as well.. Well done Lord Bishop, well done... So now the members of the Church of England atleast knows where not to continue as members if they want to follow the Lord!
You should be ashamed of yourself pretending to be the word of God. You do not know more than our creator. You cannot change his laws. The church is going to lose people even more now. Thank goodness we have people like Calvin Robinson.
His statements are misleading in what they fail to reveal. Here's a couple of examples.
He said that there was consensus in the church that sexual orientation is not a choice. However in saying that he didn't give insight into how the church views same sex attraction. The Christian view is that it isn't sin but that it is an example of disorder. Another example of disorder - someone who has a quick temper isn't a sinner until they lose their temper but between now and then they live in a state of disorder - they are not as able as they would ideally be to remain patient. Christians believe that God wants to bring healing to disorder.
He said that the church believes that it isn't a good idea to attempt to change people's sexual orientation. Again this is true but it misses the point - that God is still the surgeon when his servants are not. God brings healing - he knows how to rummage around inside the patient without making the slightest misstep.
Jesus never told us to condemn same sex love.
I follow JESUS. Not man.
RECENT DISCOVERY OF THE MISTRANSLATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE BIBLE
The discovery in the early 1950s of the Dead Sea Scrolls has led to reevaluation of text in the Bible. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the actual 950 manuscripts of the original text of the Bible. To date, this is the closest proof we have of the original text. Most of what we relied on before was copies of copies of copies and interpretations sent down through the centuries.
“The NRSV Updated Edition sets out to be the most literal translation of the Bible available to date with its clear use of unambiguous and unbiased language. The new version gives English Bible readers access to the most meticulously researched, rigorously reviewed, and faithfully accurate translation on the market done by dozens of Biblical Scholars. It is also the most ecumenical Bible with acceptance by Christian churches of Protestant, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, African American, and Evangelical traditions.”
To prevent any claim of bias, each book in the Bible was assigned a different group of biblical scholars. If the entire group agreed that there needed to be corrections, it was sent to the editorial board where it could be either rejected, excepted, or modified. Therefore, being put through a very strenuous process.
God says it is and it is, He miraculously removed my same sex attraction from me.
It’s so sad. 😞
People are so desperate for acceptance and love they are willing to live a lie, saying they have been changed so people will love them. But the fact remains no one, none of us, can change our sexuality. This is the way God made them. Of the more than 90% of people that have tried, having prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed….never changed. Of the 10% that say that they have changed, they admit years, even decades, later that it was a lie.🥲
And not only their lives are destroyed because of the lies, but the spouses/children as well.
Here I am years later, still no attraction to the same sex😊🙏. God is great, Jesus healed my heart of hate, resentment and absolute fury for those who abused me which turned me into a monster who lost everything as well, in fact God replaced them with His love, a love that surpasses all understanding, it's described briefly in 1 Corinthians 13, I managed to have about 5 good years with my Dad before he passed.
1. Saving my soul,
2. Removal of same sex attraction,
3. Removal of life destroying hate resentment and absolute fury and replaced with perfect love
4. Drawn through thanksgiving to help others who suffer in life, particularly the way I did.
5.Thankful for all the problems I had so God could use them for His glory

Wow! This is a disgrace! Read the Bible, Matt 5:31 Jesus does speak of the only reason for divorce!
@@davidgrosvenor1 I guess he never read Romans 1.26; 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
I walked into my church a gay woman still married still to my ex. My friend witnessed to me how God had changed her. After a few months of seeking to be both gay and a Christian, I cried out to the Lord in my bed one night and he convinced me of my sin and took it away from me! I do not know see women in that way. Seek the kingdom of God. The Bible is clear!
God be with you! Keep the faith.
He says the Bible provides examples of many different types of marriage. True, but none of them involve more than one man, or women marrying each other.
And many are mentioned without being recommended.
We have to remember the Bible in places is descriptive, not prescriptive.

The Bible was written by men. I’m not gonna persecute people that doesn’t make any sense because some man wrote it in a book. I don’t follow others that easily.
So sad that someone with the title of bishop would
1) clearly take Scripture out of context either willingly or because he is that ignorant of the context,
2) not understand when the Bible is DESCRIBING and when it is PRESCRIBING behaviors (i.e. note every time there are multiple wives DESCRIBED trouble ensues from that whereas only 1 to 1 marriage is ever PRESCRIBED), and
3) he would decide to understand what the Bible is saying based on what the world tells him is truth when Jesus clearly stated He is the Truth.
"Bishop", like "Pastor", like "Apostle", like "Teacher", WAS NEVER, IS NEVER A TITLE.
It is a calling, a function, a job description given by God.
God never bestowed titles on any New Testament servant of His.

their sins.Their is a way that seems right

@@AssassinWarrior99 Try reading another book you bigoted fool.
@@paulwilliams1050 God allowed sin to enter the world, allowing men to have free will to choose good or bad... free will at its best here. There's satan if you want to follow satan too. God is clear however, on what the consequences are if we choose to do something that He has stated as wrong, whether we like it or not. For example 'committing adultery'...there are consequences to it. If there are no consequences, then how can justice exist.
Humans in their nature from the beginning can be potentially lustful, gay, angry, greedy, hateful...you even have to teach a toddler to share and be nice to others. You can be born with certain desires, but doesn't mean you can blame God for everything you choose to do/be later in life...that's someone not taking responsibilities for their own actions. It's like saying "Oh I have anger problems in my genes, therefore it's God's fault for allowing such a nature in me, therefore I can go on being angry at my children and everyone." Religion doesn't work this way. Being gay in nature is fine, it is when you choose/take action to have sexual relationships with another same-sex person that it is a sin (homosexuality). For Christians, God is the judge and God is the one setting the rules. If you don't like that idea, you want to be your own god and religion is not for you.
Our lives are not meant to be perfect...life on earth is just an extremely short snippit of a much bigger picture. You are born with nothing, you die and take nothing with you. There is the perfect place of 'new heaven new earth/new jerusalem', where there is no suffering but pure goodness only. This is what Christians should be preparing for. A Christian should know that life is not about being successful in your career and getting married only... it's something else much much bigger than this.

If the Church of England were disestablished, would this topic even be up for debate? I don't think so. This debate is not about the Truth. This is about a declining Church choosing to lurch a little closer to what is politically expedient, perhaps to maintain its established position.
Couldn't agree better
It wasn’t debated in Australia.
It was amazing to witness actually.
The entire nation ‘discussed’ the issue non-stop for over a year, but didn’t debate the issue seriously once.
@@dribblesg2 it's not meant to be debated seriously. The media cover these issues like a debate, to keep up the appearance of free and open civil society, but there's always a bias in favour of the "progressive" position, which is also the position the political establishment supports by default.
Mr.CoolMug : It is disestablished in Ireland. That move caused one of the longest words in the English languages to be created, namely: ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM!
Maybe some antidisestablishmentarians would disagree with you. 🙃
Ladies and Gentlemen. Here are 7 simple points as to why the church cannot support same-sex marriage:
1. God is the author of marriage, not humanity. Therefore, Humanity doesn’t have the right or authority to define marriage. Genesis 2 teaches us that when God saw that Adam was alone, he didn’t build Adam a brother or another Adam. He built Adam a woman. A Christian woman is designed by God to fulfil 3 purposes: 1. Procreation. God commanded the man to “be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1), Adam cannot fulfil this command with a man. Same sex couples cannot produce children. A man needs a woman for this. 2. Illustration. A marriage is suppose to reflect what God’s design for what a family is. “Therefore a man shall leave his mother and father and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh”. When God look at what a family is, he sees a man and woman joined together, nothing else. 3. Sanctification. a Christian marriage is suppose to reflect Jesus’s relationship with the church. They are one body. Just as a man and a woman married together are one flesh, one body.
2. Jesus himself is against homosexuality. Why? Because of the Holy Trinity, Jesus is God. Jesus was there when Sodom and Gomorrah was being destroyed for rape, homosexuality, and other wickedness. Jesus is the author of Leviticus, a book which contains the laws given to Israel, which condemns same sex sexual activities as an abomination. You cannot separate Jesus from the God the father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus himself said “I have not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it”.
3. There are three types of laws in the bible. The moral law (summaries as the Ten Commandments), the Civil law (laws given to the nation of Israel, and ceremonial law (laws given on how to worship the True God rightly). Homosexuality being a sin is a moral law. This means that it is a law that needs to be preserved for all time, just like how murder and stealing are moral laws. Moral law transcends time and culture. We are all, believer and non-believer, sinner and non-sinner, are responsible to the moral law.
4. Homosexuality is a dangerous sin to commit. It is the only sin in the bible that God calls “an abomination” and in the Book of Romans, it is the one of the few sins where God says “there is a penalty in the flesh” if you commit this sin. This is why the LGBT community has the highest rates of Sexual diseases, high suicide rates, and various mental health issues. This is a judgement from God. This sin cannot be taken lightly.
5. The bible view on “Love” and the world’s view on “Love” are completely different. The bible doesn’t teach you to “follow your heart”, in fact, the bible teaches the opposite. In the book of Jeremiah, God says that “the heart is wicked and deceitful amongst all things, who can know it.” Since God is all loving, he defines what love is. God defines love in the Ten Commandments. We are called to love God first and then love others. This means that obeying God is a Christian’s first and top priority. Even Jesus himself, after saving a woman from persecution in the Book of Matthew, told the woman to “SIN NO MORE”. As a Christian, I cannot love you and see you embracing an act which is against God and will lead you to hell.
6. Finally, the bible is not outdated, because God is not outdated. God is an all powerful being who exists out of time. Do you really believe that such a God would give us a holy book that needs to be updated and complement to the modern culture? Absolutely not. The bible, in the book of Timothy, makes it clear that it is “a complete book, fit to equip a man for all good works”.
7. Since that fall of Adam in Genesis 3, we are all Sinners. This means we are all bent towards ourselves and not towards God. The book of Psalms echoes this point: “there is nobody, not one, that seeks for God”. We are all wretched sinners and everyone deserves to go to hell. God, through his love for us, sent his son to take all of our sins and die the death we should have done. We are saved through Jesus Christ my brothers and sisters. Therefore, Jesus himself said that if we truly loved him “we would keep his commandments”. This means that as Christians, we are ultimately called to OBEDIENCE, not just love. Love is a part of the nature of a Christian, it is not the be all and end all of what a Christian is. We must obey first, then love second. God himself in the book of Jeremiah, chapter 3 calls us to return to him, not to Love others harder.
Brothers and Sisters, from the book of Genesis, to the book of Leviticus, and the Book of Romans, it is clear that Homosexuality is not to be supported, embraced, celebrated, and accepted. Remember that our Goal is be like Christ, not like the world. We cannot adopt what the world wants, only what God wants, which is obedience, repentance, and a complete hatred of sin, not the sinner. If the church becomes like the world and thinks like the world, then we are mocking the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and disgracing the Gospel of Christ which saved us. Non-believers do not have the right to tell us what love is, because God has already done that.
Well stated. Just one comment. RC Sproul once replied to a similar statement regarding the sin vs. the sinner argument. He replied "it's not the sin that is cast into the pit, but the sinner. Biblically, that's accurate by choice. Read Romans 1.
Underrated comment
Good answer ! Superb !!
Amen amen amen well said.

The simple fact that sexual orientation is not a choice doesn't mean that we should affirm it, otherwise we would be affirming any sexual orientation, such a pedophilia or bestiality...
Exactly. Pedophiles will just say, "It's not my choice; it's the way I'm made, so I must be allowed to act on my feelings."
@@jennyyates8798 Isn't that what the Pope is trying to say about paedophiles?
It's not my choice that I suffer from anger, but it's still a sin I need to repent from.
These are not sexual orientations they are sexual proclivities
He really botched Paul’s work
It is as though this Bishop has never been to Sunday school, let alone seminary. These stretches and conflations he is making are a disgrace to the plain written word and the consistent historic teaching of the church.
Perfect speech as to why Anglicanism is condem to death😢
The church of England is dying. As a member of the Anglican communion, it's sad to see that the heart of our church, bishops and priests advocating and attempting to validate same of same-sex marriage with unbiblical reasonings and negligence of God's foundational design for the human family. It's better to be neutral and trust God's word, not man's!

Exactly! Blinded by sin .
@@Mumima100 it's shocking and tragically sad
His use of scripture is misleading and makes me highly question his understanding of it.
Kind of curious that a high proportion of vicars, priests and Bishops are gay.
Just a thought.
Is that true though?
I don’t know exactly how true that is. But nevertheless we already know there’s been plenty of them throughout history that have been called come out or have been caught that are. Also a fair amount that are pedophiles.
@@doctor1alex A recent book ,' In The Closet of The Vatican ' research over a number of years interviewing priests calculated around 80% were gay
Iain Rae : Even married ones. 🙃
10:10 'society is ahead of the church' says the bishop. All you need to hear, really
He wishes to follow the world. Why is he even in the church? Simply to destroy it. It's very sad that Worcester Cathedral has long been the church of satan.
The Bishop says: the Church needs to repent, in essence God needs to apologize for saying ' a man shall not lie with a man like a woman' . And they call him a bishop!.. So sad to see how low the Church of England has fallen
Well there you have it. Either conform to the pattern of the world, as has been elegantly argued for by the 'good' doctor, or follow Christ and His word. I thank John Inge for making the case for cleaving to the body of true believers and exposing the corruption of the 'established church'. This is a monumental time where we are seeing the separation of Sheep and goats.
Amen 🙏🏻
And he did not even quote any scripture to support his argument. His argument is solely based on the sentiment of the leftist. My dear Bishop our only standard is the WORD of GOD and not the sentiments of men, of which there are plenty to justify every sin.
_"...having an _*_appearance_*_ of godliness but _*_proving false to its power._*_ And from these _*_turn away."_* - 2 Timothy 3:6
"They have exchanged the Truth of God for a lie, and they have worshipped and served creatures and created things, rather than the Creator- who is forever praised. Amen🙏."
"Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
-- Leviticus 18 :22
And you call yourself a follower of Christ .and a bishop of his flock. Which church will you present to Christ on his return . A church that follows the faf and fancy of changing society. So if the majority of the western society did not accept homosexuality the church wouldn't have changed. A church that is so timid to tell the truth
Paul speaks of and warns about unsound doctrine in 2 Timothy Ch 4 V 3- 4 which says For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine, instead to suit their own desires , they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Joy Caroll : That's why we have "Sun"-day observance instead of the commanded Sabbath of the LORD and the Roman "Easter" in place of the ordained Passover of the LORD, all of man, not God.
"We already commit all these heresies, so what is one more?" He is not, the Anglican church was already irredeemably lost by the time they allowed divorce and remarriage.
The main thrust of his message is "we been pathetically weak on other matters so lets give in on this one too". Embarrassing nonesense.
"In Christ there is no male or female" LMAO!
I didn't hear any solid argument there hahaha 😅
It's crazy.. There's nothing to debate about. The Holy Bible states it very clearly. There is only one way on marriage in the eyes of our Almighty God.
Marriage is only between a man and a woman and it is a Holy Sacrament.
Ian Smith : Where's the Bible verse saying that marriage is a "holy sacrament" - or is that only a msn-made term not found anywhere in Scripture, but bandied about by people regardless? 🤔
He will have opportunity to say his piece in front of God ALMIGHTY very soon. Who would want to be in his shoes?
It is imperative that each and every single one of us knows for ourselves the truth and carry in our hearts our own testimony of God and Jesus. Because when everything is said and done and we are sitting at the judgment seat with Christ nothing else is going to matter.
We do not have the authority as children of God to change the Scriptures that God has placed before us. And I don’t have a shadow of a doubt that those who go against God‘s teachings and try to persuade, manipulate and coerce people into to commit acts of sin will not go without a very grave, heavy and serious punishment.
And if anyone is in a church that is teaching them things that go against what God has told us; you’re in the wrong church and I would encourage you to leave. It is not worth losing your soul for the whims of lost and confused souls that are intentionally choosing to go against God. They are not men of God. The only one they’re serving is the devil.
So he bemoans that "society is ahead of the church"? Provides a word salad about science (of course he does, he is first and foremost a scientist) and discoveries in evolution. He seems confused about the differences between sex, love and marriage and mixes up the secular and religious. How is this man a Bishop and in what way is he representing Christ? Just appaling.
2 Peter 2:1 NKJV - But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
He lies and lies. Far more same sex attracted people than those who are not are depressed, mentally ill, and suicidal - and whether or not they are socially accepted. How convenient that this lying bishop should not bother to reveal this - instead using it as false evidence for his belief that the church is failing people who are dealing with these things.
And why are they depressed and mentally ill? Because hard-hearted "Christian" have shut them out from the grace of God on the ground of their sexuality. They don't, do this to gossips or gluttons, or the lazy or argumentative it's just gay people that get this abuse,.
@@neilmccall5311they are not shut out. They are welcomed. They cannit, however, get married.
I'm no bishop, but i believe i understand the scripture way better than him.
I disagree on everything said here. The Church should not be influenced by society - The Church should influence society. Go and repent and read Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Wow, great advice! I'm reading my first Bonhoeffer book now: "Christ the Center". Looking at the state of Christianity today, it is hard to believe his lectures were less than 100 years ago. I was thinking about how Bonheoffer would respond when I was listening to Alan Wilson's cringy description of Christ's marriage to the Church.
@@pistol3333 I would recommend reading Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship when you can - its simply one of the greatest books ever written.
I'll be sure to read the book you just mentioned soon! :)

@@lolololgii754 Exactly my point. Thank you.
@@lolololgii754 Which "religious perspective" would that be?

@@yoannnimaga9810 Ever heard of a joke?
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. God does NOT change with the world.
I don’t understand the fascination of the LGBTQ with Christianity. The doctrines say your pursuits of love are sin and even the majority of Christians say it’s sin. You’re making a fool of yourself if you think you can somehow be in a gay relationship and be Christian. The same can equally be said for any Abrahamic religion. The LGBTQ should either just abandon the abrahamic religions altogether or just follow the doctrines and be celibate. I’m tired of watching gays try to say the religion that calls their own pursuit of love an abomination supports them in their pursuit of happiness. It’s like they have zero respect for themselves trying to appease their own contradictory religious beliefs with a lie. Not to mention they’re surrounding themselves with people who hate them too by trying to be Christians.
Have you seen a wolf in sheep's clothing recently? Look upon this bishop. With meekness and connecting thoughts (as in a sound mind) he placed before us the same poison Adam ate in Genesis.
Lord have mercy!
repent or be defrocked. unacceptable conduct for a bishop of the church of england
No Bible verses, just emotional pleads and comparing apples (sin) and oranges (science, evolution, references from non Christians) to make a point.
How is this guy a leader???
The church of England was created to validate the powerful who were going against Christian teaching (Henry 8th and divorce), it continues to do the same thing
John Inge should know better. Huxley's account of the Debate with Wilberforce was shown in 1970's (half a century ago) to have been written up in a self seeking manner long after the event. And Huxley's account was also at odds with contemporary accounts of it by others.
And initially, it was other scientists, rather than churchmen, who opposed Darwin's theory!
@@jennyyates8798 It's true that some prominent scientists weren't convinced by Darwin, (but of course many churchmen opposed him as well). However, my point isn't about the plausibility, or implausibility, of evolution... Rather I'm saying it's sad and astonishing to hear a bishop repeating digs against Christianity, digs that were satisfactorily answered ages ago.
"The bible never gives a reason why".
St Paul provides a fairly straightforward answer to this in chapter 6 of 1 Corinthians verse 18
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body"
Sexual sin is a sin against owns own body; the place where the Spirit of God now desires to tabernacle
God will not be mocked!
Some of the strongest warnings in the Bible are directed to leaders who mislead God's people, to prophets and priests and pastors and teachers who by their example or their doctrine lead the sheep into sinful conduct and destructive beliefs. Be very careful not to hurt God's flock! You are touching the apple of His eye, and He does not take this lightly.
James 3v1
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
The road to hell is paved with the skulls of false bishops
The Christ said, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so" (Matthew 19:8).
DIVORCE IS NOT PERMITTED, SO THE POINT BISHOP IS THAT YOU ARE ALREADY IN ERROR, REPENT!
NOW YOU SEEK TO BUILD FURTHER ERROR BUILDING NEW ERRORS ATOP OF YOUR EXISTING ERROR, FIRST REPENT BEFORE YOU GO ABOUT TRYING TO REASON REGARDING OTHER THINGS. IF YOU BOTHERED TO READ SCRIPTURE YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IT SAYS THAT GOD WAS NOT PLEASED WITH SOLOMON.
Notice the attire and jewelry of the 'men' in support of ss marriage compared to those against.
The church is not supposed to conform to society but be a pillar of truth, unwavering. Remember man’s wisdom vs Gods wisdom both appear foolish to the other. Who’s side is this man with?
4:30 What he says here is absurd. There’s no “science” that informs morality. The claim that “homosexuality is not a choice” is both unsubstantiated and irrelevant: kleptomaniacs could make the same appeal. Homosexuality is not wrong because the Bible condemns it; rather, the Bible condemns it because it is wrong. Theft didn’t become wrong when Moses brought the 10 Commandments down from Sinai. This is a matter of natural law.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 1:20-25 NASB
Absolute blasphemy. I had no idea the state of the CoE. Lord have mercy. 'Bishop', how can you use scripture as ones basis of argument when you long ago have abandoned it's inerrancy?
Clearly , a people pleaser and not trying to please God. Tolerating is not equal to loving.
Christianity would not have survived this long if it had endorsed the lifestyle of the darwin award.

Everything under the sun was designed with a purpose according to the LORD our GOD'S creation. And we already know that we are still living in a fallen world and that humans are the purveyors of evil.

And how can they or do they glorify our Father in Heaven?

The sacrament of marriage is betwixt one man and one woman, the way God has defined it to be in the Holy Bible. God’s word cannot be changed.
Why does this side repeatedly use the O.T. men who had hundreds of wives as an example when it is plain to see that the Bible says that this was bad. I Kings specifically says that all of Solomon's wives led him astray and Solomon latter laments them and wishes he would have loved the wife of his youth.
Thank God for Catholicism. Anglicanism is spreading its ungodly thoughts throughout the world. We should remember that the CofE was founded purely & simply to allow Henry VIII to marry whilst his legal wife was still living.
