- Every year it seems like June’s Pride Month celebrations last longer and include more people. The celebration is now so huge (and so commercialized) that it can be difficult to know how to talk about it. Axis dives into the history of Pride Month, discusses what Pride means for young people in the LGBTQ+ community, and lands on some ideas for how Christians can approach this cultural conversation with biblical perspective and compassion.

Thank you. We might not agree on some things, but we can agree that we are all happier if we don't hate each other ❤
But we should agree that pride is evilness.
Proverbs 11:2
New Living Translation
*2 Pride leads to disgrace,*
*but with humility comes wisdom.*
If these people wanna be prideful during pride month, up to them, we all are sinners, and we all will be killed and thrown in the lake of fire so accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour, God will spare your soul, and not everyone who calls on Jesus Christ will be saved.
Matthew 7:21-23
New Living Translation
True Disciples
*21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’*
Informative and compassionate video-thanks!
Yes, Jesus taught to love God and love people AND he gave the “great commission” (end of Matthew 28). . So our task is to abide in him (John 15), receive his love (Ephesians 3:17-ff), pass his love onto others, and fulfill the great commission, by his Holy Spirit power. This is walking in ‘grace and truth’,, just as he did. When the woman caught in adultery, was brought before him, He told her “Go and sin no more.” So he was kind to her, and loving, AND he told her the truth….so it’s “BOTH/AND”- “grace and truth, love and truth”… by his Holy Spirit living in his children we follow him. We go and do likewise. Jude is a great book to read on this subject too- amd it’s only one page! 😊👍 Also, the book of Revelation. 🙌 Revelation is only about 17 pages.
Jesus would hate the homophobic lifestyle
I’m sorry, but how can I accept someone if they can’t accept who they are?
When I was growing up, to have a baby outside of marriage was publicly shamed. In not loving the sinner while we hated the sin - I think we lost a lot of people who left the church. I think today is no different - I cannot condone certain life choices, but I can love the person and be present for them.
Well, calling ,being queer' a sind doen't help...
Is "being queer" a sin? It depends.
Is the desire to have sex outside of marriage a sin, or is actually having sex outside of marriage a sin?
I have been so angry at someone in the past that I felt the desire to punch them. Is that a sin or is it only a sin if I act on it?
Our primitive desires are built in and we can learn to curtail and eventually eradicate them. Our ability to resist or delay the gratification of immediately satisfying our primitive desires is what sets us apart from animals, and what indicates a willful soul exists.
If we teach people that their reptilian desires and primitive chemically-driven emotions are their primary definition of their self-identity, and then that self-identity should be the highest concern of all humanity, they become no more capable of compassion, charity, or forgiveness than an iguana.
@@joeyadair9228 Your logic is like an iguana and therefore you are sin. 😂
Not all Christians obviously will enter God’s kingdom.
Only those who kept God’s law, Moses law. Law of Moses, and Jesus Christ made law of Moses more clear so we could follow it easier.
Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self is an excellent book on this subject. Appreciate all the resources you tie in to this and your weekly emails
As an lgbtq person: just be normal.
Good, timely reminder to love throughout the distractions and to teach our children to, above all, love.
There are hundreds of thousands of gay Christians. Let's not forget this.
Yes, absolutely. In the same way that there are men in the church who struggle with adulterous thoughts, pornography, greed, alcoholism, addictions, and the sort. These are understood as disordered desires.
The arms of Jesus are wide open and ready to receive absolute EVERYONE and ANYONE. But we all have to shift our desires to loving God first and foremost, and loving our neighbors.
@@JoshAlicea1229 Everything you mentioned hurts people. Loving someone doesn’t, bad example.
@@BetrayalTraumaPractitioner Everything you are trying to protect is hurting people. Depression and anxiety are highest among LGBTQ- in a time when it is WIDELY accepted, especially in the mainstream. So why is that?
It can’t be because of widespread public ostracism. It’s deeper than emotional hurt.
It is because the soul itself is crying out for something deeper than sexual gratification and public acceptance. The soul is hungry for one thing, and that is its Creator.
Now, I’m not even saying “change.” Nobody can change themselves, nor each other. Only God can do that.
The soul is hungry for God, and my church doors are wide open to accept them as humans first- humans made in God’s image.
Again, I struggle with so many things I listed above. But glory to Jesus Christ who died for us WHILE we were still turned away from Him.
@@JoshAlicea1229 If we are at an all time high of "acceptance" why are 40% of homeless youth gay? For a population so small that is a staggering number. And if "sexual gratification" is the only thing you/pastors/the general public think the gay community is after then no wonder so many struggle with anxiety.
@@BetrayalTraumaPractitioner It’s not something we think about. Sexual gratification is just simply the message that is given by the LGBTQ are giving. No one needs to interpret it.
And I think it’s terrible for parents to kick their children out of the house just because they are LGBTQ. It’s a sin actually to abandon your children because they live/ believe differently. But what people who call themselves Christians do has nothing to do with the person of Jesus. He loves and calls us all home; to live with Him each day. We are never abandoned, and neither are you.
That's not true. Being LGBT does not mean you place your sexual orientation at the heart of who you are as a person. That is simply an untrue statement. Many do unfortunately, but your explanation of what pride is about is not true. There is nothing complicated about the month. LGBT persons do not need to hear what you have to say about them. The rest of the year is already inherently tough for LGBT persons. You don't need to do anything.
I honestly want to learn about what Pride Month is truly about. As I understand it, it’s about celebrating the LGBTQ lifestyle, and celebrating all they have been through.
Is there any other point to emphasize?
Praise God for pride events!
