That is a very unique perspective... It's almost as though Orthodox Christians have already reached the point that other people claim they want to achieve: where sexuality and self-identifying are irrelevant... fascinating. Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing that. I needed clarification. Orthodox Christianity is a completely different faith than Protestantism. I was baptized in a Wesleyan church. I am grateful for that, but I have been searching for real Christian truth for years because there were some things I was really struggling to understand. I started using the hysechasm prayer to hear God and see him. He has led me here and I am so grateful to find orthodox truth.
People must learn from the life of Father Seraphim Rose, how he was an open homosexual, in a committed gay relationship, and how he turned to Christ and was healed
@@BozicaDelic he gave up on worldly pursuits including lust and perversion. You can still love people without sexual abuse or sexual things attached. True christians view sex as an act of procreation and pleasure for when a man and woman come together in marriage as it’s a gift from the Lord. Not everyone gets to enjoy every last one of the Lord gifts in this life. Anyways, we will have no need for sexual needs or a desire for sexual fulfillment in heaven.
@@BozicaDelicalso he was clearly “healed” since he gave his life to Christ and was one of the many saints who embodied the Holy Spirit. I’m sure now in heaven where he is living and praying for us all he no longer suffers the devils torment. he no longer has that cross to carry. Let alone desire for wickedness. Jesus Christ eases all of our burdens and I’m sure he was eased of the burden of sexual inclinations very early on in his journey judging by how he’s remembered today.
Take the scales of Good and Evil off your eyes brother, and see! Then you can be reconciled with the father. Are you up to the standards you're judging the world with? Jesus Will judge you by that measure. That's called grace. Jesus Cuts Hypocrites in half and throws them into the fire. That's called justice. This is the knowledge of the truth: that the knowledge of Good and Evil is death. Not life. Therefore repent or you're not going to eat from the Tree of Life
@@dansaber4427 If I was a raging violent alcoholic and claim to be a good Christian, that would be considered contradictory by virtually everyone. Thus, claiming to be a good Christian without any intention or effort to control the sinful urges is dishonest at best and downright manipulatory at worst.

You can be LGBT and Christian 👬
No. That would be wrongheaded
You can suffer with same sex attraction, yes, but you must repent and carry your cross.
Sin cannot define you, Christ does (if you are a Christian).
No you cannot. You can say it if you want but you are wrong.
