    Bio: Ruslan KD is a Christian TH-camr of Armenian descent who was a refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan, before moving to the United States as a child. He started his TH-cam channel in the mid-2010s, which has since grown into a popular platform for discussing faith, lifestyle, and music. Known for his insightful commentary on Christian living, culture, and personal development, Ruslan has built a community of followers who value his thoughtful approach to contemporary issues. In addition to his TH-cam presence, Ruslan is a speaker, author, and advocate for godly ambition, often addressing topics related to leadership, mental health, and the integration of faith in everyday life.
    Our mission is to encourage, empower, and inspire people to live a life that Blesses God, in accordance with His word. As the Psalmist proclaims, "Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you who are of Israel's fountain" (Psalm 68:26 ESV), and "Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name forever and ever" (Psalm 145:2 KJV). Just as Simeon, after encountering Jesus, "took him up in his arms and blessed God" (Luke 2:28 ESV), we seek to lead others in a life of stewardship, relevant engagement, and practical living that honors and blesses the Lord.

People like you care more about wining the debate and smear the opponent rather than addressing a situation (connecting people in a way) that would impart correct knowledge to astray people would come into christ.
      Luke 5:27-32:
      “After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

    Nice clip, Ruslan 🙂 The question Brandan asks about "show me why/how?" .. I think we miss something here. I think we forget that having a leader means following their way, even if we don't fully understand why. Sometimes human leaders are not to be trusted, so we have to stand up to them, but God is perfect. Sure: it may not be clear what God is saying to us, so we should tease it through and examine it, but if God says it - as our loving "leader" whom we've accepted and asked to change us, we need to accept things we don't understand. My mother often used to tell us to do things, and when we moaned and asked why, she said "because I said so!" As I grew up, I saw why those things she couldn't explain were important.
    If we need to understand *and* agree with everything God says before we do it, then we don't have a leader/ trust him.
    We're leading *o ur s e l v e s.*

      It's maybe not exactly the same situation but I can't help but think of David Wood befriending Nabeel Qureshi while he was still a Muslim and that friendship remained through the both three years it took for Nabeel to come to accept Christ as Saviour and Lord and then continued as he became a defender of his faith in Christ Jesus. Many people apparently told David he was wasting his time, yet David continued faithfully and many are still being reached by his testimony helping to bring them to faith.

      Mike Winger did a four part series on the LGBT and the fourth one was all about secular arguments against the LGBT. He covered the poor physical and mental health outcomes like certain cancers being more prevalent, STIs, bowel issues, higher rates of depression, smoking, substance abuse etc.
      He also discussed the greater longevity and exclusivity of heterosexual marriages and highest rates of DV being in lesbian households. He even took a lot of his data fron LGBT websites and publications.
      He argued against it as providing a poorer ɓasis for human flourishing. Its very good and I think could be effective in reaching those who are unmoved by religious arguments.

    Even if you are “platforming” an anti-Christian teacher, that still doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing to do if the context of that platforming involves clearly exposing their twisted lies for the good of the truth.
    We can’t devolve into the tribalistic mindset of modern cancel culture, which says, “I don’t want to reason with you, I want you to be forced into silence.”

    I think Brandon is someone who just wants to live a homosexual lifestyle so he'll twist the Bible to fit. Actually it may be worse than someone who acknowledges what the Bible says and outright rejects it. Brandon makes it look like it's just a matter of interpretation and traditional opinions. At least the first person is honest that they don't agree with the Bible.
    I think the truth is Brandon doesn't want to accept the obvious teachings of scripture because he's comfortable living in sin. He doesn't want to die to the flesh and he wants to have his cake and eat it. He's spiritually self-decieved. Let's pray for him.

    Thank you both for irenic discussions among Christians and with non-Christians. Like Sean, my heart aches for Brandon and what, likely seems obvious to Sean and others, lead him into the welcoming arms of an already rejected homosexual community. Where Christians could have stood up for him when he was younger and defended him from humiliation and torment, they either stood by or participated. It is no stretch that Brandon could seek comfort, affirmation and sexual gratification outside the norms of Christian marriage.
    However, now...in my limited and humble opinion, it may be time to keep Brandon's teaching away from the body of Christ while simultaneously loving him. It is very difficult. Prayers up to my struggling brothers and sisters.

    I like the approach from love and gentleness perspective, and am not saying I have a diffinitive stance on platforming nonbelievers, but doesnt the book of 2 John clearly rejects welcoming into your home (platforming) those who bring a false gospel? "9Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. 2 John 1:9-11"

That being said, I’m not the one interviewing, and I know Sean loves the lord and does his best to be lead by the spirit so if he’s being too soft in my opinion he could be being lead to be soft and if he’s being to harsh in my opinion again that could be because of the leading of the Holy Spirit.

    I think it’s good that Brandon is present in the current conversation. And if Jesus was fully human - and every Christian must profess the two natures of the God Man - he must have ‘made mistakes.’ We just don’t see any in the New Testament, at least I haven’t seen them. Jesus had desires, feelings, biases, and delusions, even if we are not aware of them. I know Brandon interprets some of Jesus’s actions, as reported in the gospels, to be mistakes, but I have disagreed with these interpretations. Also, to be clear, I don’t equate mistakes with sins, even though many mistakes are sins.

    • @tb.9kba93g
      @tb.9kba93g 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yeah, I wanted to make the same point. I'd be quite willing to say that Jesus "made mistakes" because that's part of being human, and mistakes are not automatically sinful. The line that should be drawn here though is that scripture is pretty clear that Jesus was the "spotless lamb" who was tempted in every way as we are yet did not sin.

    The use of the word love is open to too much interpretation. In a relationship, “charity” (equity) may be more appropriate? Such as, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

    • @alisterrebelo9013
      @alisterrebelo9013 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The word charity comes from the Latin 'caritas' translated from agape in 1 Corinthians 13:13, which most English translations is the word 'love'.
      Biblical love is not open to as much interpretation as youmight think. It is a self-sacrificial love as Jesus teaches, when someone lays down their life for another, John 15:13.
      Thomas Aquinas, described charity (caritas) as "the friendship of man for God," which overflows into love for others. He defined love as "willing the good of the other" (velle bonum alterius).
      This concept is deeply rooted in 1 Corinthians 13, where caritas (translated as love or charity) is described as patient, kind, and selfless. It reflects God’s love (agápē), which seeks the true good of others rather than selfish gain.

    I don’t know if I completely agree that statistical data is the best way to explain why homosexuality is wrong. Honestly, I think those statistics show the consequences of that type of relationship. But I think at its core those exist because it’s sin and sin is harmful in that it separates us from God and His Will/purpose. Those statistics make a good case as to why it’s not practical but not necessarily why it’s harmful.

    • @Smileyhat
      @Smileyhat 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It depends on who you're talking to. If you're talking to a Christian, then noting that it's a sin is an important part of the case to be made, and it should be enough, though even then being able to show statistics would help support that point. If you're talking to someone who doesn't even believe God exists, telling them it's a sin won't be convincing at all. They would have to be convinced God is real before having any hope of taking sin seriously, but a good set of statistics might stand a chance of convincing them.

    • @botta88
      @botta88 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ I don’t disagree. I was more so saying in the context in which Brandon asked the question (or at least how I interpreted it). The statistics show risk but that does not prove it to be wrong Biblically. They more so aid in why it might be a bad idea. I just figured since the discussion was within Biblical context it makes more sense to keep the arguments Biblical.

    The first comment I saw on this epitomizes what's wrong with this video and with both Sean and Ruslan's theology. It's MAN-Centered. The best question to ask and answer is how would Jesus deal with Brandan? Then maybe how would Paul?
    Consider this. Jesus fashioned a whip of cords and took it to the backsides of those who had turned His Father's House into a den of thieves. How much more do you reckon He would/will do to those who turn His Word into a LIE and bears false witness against Him in His own name?!
    At the end of the day what will be the final outcome of Brandan and all his ilk? Here's a hint: It won't be Jesus sitting down and having a Kumbaya Moment with them. If you look at the final enduring result it should give you a hint as to how Jesus would deal with them.
    Sean talked about how he made it clear that Brandan has a different Gospel and a different Jesus but is he sure that he doesn't? I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't be sitting down with Brandan and having the kind of conversation with him that Sean did. How possible is it that Sean and Ruslan have a different Jesus too?

    he wants a direct correlation to verifiable evidencial harm.

I know there is data on the risks involved, but putting the burden of proof on the person they are discussing with, when the proof is already there scripturally then why ask for determinate negatives? It seems a bit confusing and circular reasoning, because we can show data but then he can say well that is not so much a negative form our point of view, or i reject those notions that these facts are negtaive and harmful. And im done, because anythign further and I would be talking in circles hahaha. just thoughst and questions. no criticism or unjustifiable judgement in any of this towards brandon. just analyzing the paths of reason.
