- Alistair Begg, the prominent pastor and radio host, reaffirmed his controversial advice regarding attending an LGBTQ wedding during a recent sermon at Parkside Church, near Cleveland, Ohio. In a sermon last Sunday, Begg addressed the backlash stemming from remarks he made on a podcast, where he advised a grandmother to attend her grandson’s wedding to his transgender fiancé. Despite the criticism, Begg, 71, stood by his comments, saying he is “not ready to repent over this.”
Begg, who is widely known for his radio ministry **Truth for Life**, a program with over 220,000 subscribers on TH-cam and more than 2,000 radio stations airing it worldwide, first gave the advice months ago. It resurfaced on social media recently, igniting debate. In the podcast, Begg explained that as long as the grandson knew his grandmother did not "affirm" his life choices, attending the wedding would help preserve the relationship, allowing her to share the Gospel with him in the future. #alistairbegg #pastor #resigns
WHY Pastor Alistair Begg STEPPING DOWN! - This Is Reason

There's no controversy He's been a pastor for 50 years He's retiring. He's one of the few that made it through without some type of sexual scandal
Exactly! He's stepping down because he's knows it's time for the next generation to take leadership at Parkside. No more. No less.
This video is slander. It should be taken down.
I’m praying for Pastor Alistair, I agree with the advice he gave the grandmother. No need for repentance. He’s done nothing to repent in that specific advice he gave. I would go to my grandsons marriage if he was gay. I would show him more of Jesus if I attended then if I hurt him and ruin opportunities to witness to him. I would not affirm but also not revile him.
This is old news ..
Begg will continue to be a giant in the exposition of Gods word and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I stand with Pastor Begg he is 50years in the military next year and 42 years in P arkside .he has had2 cancer ops this year Well done good and faithful servant
And very well done God's good and faithful servant.
I am praying for Alistair.He taught me so much.The Pharisees are rejoicing.
I agree - James was clear that judging one another is sinful, though obviously affirming a clear sin (in this case a homosexual wedding) is also clearly prohibited. The Christian life often involves walking the tightrope between legalism, asceticism and licentiousness. Our Lord did this perfectly, and commanded us to do the same, even though he knew that for sinful man this is impossible. That is why the gospel of repentance and salvation is preached. Of course Alastair Begging should not be criticized - he is working hard to walk that narrow path and his critics have fallen sadly onto the prudish holier than thou side and THEY are the ones who should repent! I am so glad that Pastor Begg has not recanted!
He who has no sin throw the first stone! This is an awesome godly paster! Shame on you for speaking against him.
This is a loss to Parkside Church. Alistair is an inspirational pastor and the Lord has blessed him and his listeners for decades. A man of faith, a man of God, and a man of courage. He still has a listening audience if God chooses to use him in that way.
Begg is right
Begg gave an inspired "word of wisdom" in a specific situation. Proverbs teaches "wisdom" is required to "win souls". Moses did not disagree with God over marriage but gave a provision for the "hardness of hearts". The Apostle Paul instructs the treatment of a believer is opposite to the treatment of an unbeliever. One is to be ostracized that they may feel shame (and repent). The other is to be embraced that they may feel loved and open their hearts to hear the Gospel. The grandmother made her feelings clear she was in disapproval of the sin. She also made it clear she loved and supported the sinner even in his folly (if she followed this pastor's anointed advice). Did not Christ step down and into our lives "while we were yet sinners!"? Begg is being persecuted for the rare practice of rightly divided Biblical wisdom that is sorely lacking in today's church. The Lord be merciful to those taking the place of the Pharisees with their "knee jerk" reaction. Proud of you, Bro. Begg. Hang in there!
Pastor Begg is a man of God, he has been the one who has taught the true gospel and changed my heart , committing it to God completely, with no questions or doubts . I stand with him in his right thinking of no need for repentance for his grandmother response, and his biblical proof that love and compassion are greater than ideological personal interpretations made by men who themselves preach wrong points of what the Bible says due to their own interpretations, not of Gods Words. Salvation is the main point in the Bible and it comes through the knowledge of the love of God actions through His son ‘s love for their created creatures. Love conquers all not cruelty and hate! Pastor Begg did not commit a sin that needs to repented for and be forgiven for, his stand on the issues are clear and God knows him completely, because he is one of His chosen ones! 📖✝️💖👏🏼🤗🥰. 😭😪Please, Pastor Begg, we need your Biblical gospel teachings, do not let Anyone discourage you and continue to share your inspired messages on the love of God with us!Thank you for all your hard dedication in years of service to your call Thank you .
Thanks, Pastor Begg, for your example of godly wisdom in this situation.
You are so wrong! If you cannot welcome sinners in your midst you’ve lost the whole meaning of the gospel. In Jesus’ day, there were taboo crowds like lepers, prostitutes. He never distanced Himself from them. The apostle Philip ministered to a eunuch. The Saviour and the first century church was in the midst of societal taboos but never shrank from them. A holier-than-thou attitude is not befitting a Christian. I am on the side of Pr. Alistair
Well I as a committed Christian was at first taken aback by Alistair's statement. Not going to listen to him anymore. But this pastor has devoted his life to the Lord and and not to listen to him again I would be cutting myself off from all the Godly preaching would be to me, cutting myself off from beautiful preaching and when I look around and listen to what comes from most churches across the world he is far outstanding in the word of God
If you are not going to listen to him anymore, and he represents a line in the sand you can’t cross, then you have removed 99.99 % of those who have a public ministry. Might as well move to an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
I hope he is not retiring. What a loss if he does
@@deannaestes1870He has stated that he’s retiring as head pastor and has asked for prayers for the pastor search to replace him.
Yes, but if you are doing this for you to get more, read the comments as to why he did what he did. He should be supported and not ostracized. Blessings to you. We're all learners in this race.
...and the Pharisees, who misunderstood Jesus Christ, crucified Him, as well. I hope everyone who follows the word of the Pharisees are satisfied and no longer have a restful night's sleep. How absolutely horrible and just one more reason the church in America is deteriorating and people are leaving. Who is without sin anyway! John 8:7!
THIS IS SUCH A FALSE AND MISLEADING VIDEO. PASTOR ALISTAIR BEGG IS STEPPING DOWN BECAUSE HE'S PASSING ON THE TORCH TO A YOUNGER PASTOR TO CONTINUE HIS WORK FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! SHAME ON YOU AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL.
You have made some good points, Carrie. I had this in my own family with 2 longstanding fornication situations, but I was cut off because I was too angry about what happened. My presentation was terrible and I offended those involved.
This has nothing to do with why he is stepping down and I support his decision and the advice he gave the grandmother have you ever heard of hate the sin but love the sinner. I wish I had never listen to your 10 minutes of wasted time.
Definitely, Pastor Begg is not perfect. "No Not One". 🙏💞
I enjoyed Beggs sermons and disagreed with very little he preached - I however think he’s wrong in the advice he gave
It does sound like he’s contradicting himself. And I don’t think he shld show he is coming into agreement with this by attending or encouraging another to attend. As this isn’t just going to a birthday party, it’s showing u are condoning this by attending, that’s what wedding attendees are there for, blessing the marriage. He shld not be there if cannot wholeheartedly give his blessing for this arrangement. Ppl that have gotten free from gay or trans lifestyle have said it was the worse thing their parents or friends cld have done was to go along with them, they needed ppl to be pillars of truth with love and support and be praying for them regularly spiritual warfare prayers, let them know evil wants to rob them of their true identity, demons hate Gods creation and want to destroy people anyway they can, is the father of Lies & deceit, comes to steal, kill & destroy.
Touch black paint, get black fingers
Obviously not a Christian site.
This is a very challenging situation, if you read through the comments.
WHAT comments?
It is talked more about at 5:20 in the video
Read James 4:11-12
