There is no such thing as a celibate homosexual Christian.

Thank you for your comment! I had quit listening when she said the Bible got it wrong. After reading your comment, I went back and listened to that clarification. Whew!

I thought the same. I will listen to the end.

Hi, you might want to pin this comment! :)

you poor thing you, LMAO

Lgbtq leave our children alone!

Amen to that! If we all did, America would not look like it does today!

human change towards God’s best for you needs to be made in the strength of the Holy Spirit.

Man = one; woman = one Men = more than one; women = more than one

Great point

Are you serious? so many millions of people have been murdered for who they are? Perhaps the largest group would be people who identify as Christians.

She clarifies that she misspoke. 36:32 and 45:47 :)

She clarified it - twice.

She may have said she misspoke but she never presented any evidence that God gave any clue in His Word that he opposed it. Not until this brother's post do we get any meat to chew on. Bravo ! Finally some specifics ! Let me add 1 Cor 7:21-23 Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you -- although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord's freed person; the one who was free when called is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.

That's a great question. One of the most succinct answers comes from the Westminster Confession of Faith in the shorter catechism. Q 83 Are all sins equally heinous? A. Some sins in themselves, and by reason of several aggravations, are more heinous in the sight of God than others. Q 84 What does every sin deserve? A. Every sin deserves God’s wrath and curse, both in this life, and that which is to come.

@@RUFOwls I wish the church would explain where it can, the consequences & effects of certain sins, compared to others, while reminding us that God's Son Jesus Christ, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, had to be crucified & die for anyone, regardless of what kind of sins they committed, for their salvation, i.e. for them to believe & repent of those sins & have eternal life. I don't believe if America hadn't adopted gay marriage & normalization of homosexuality, that we would have the amount of children being groomed & drag queen story hours in our schools the way it is today, and the number of children having their bodies & lives destroyed they way they are today, if that road hadn't been paved with the idea that the gay life style is just one of many sins, without considering what that kind of thinking does to the nuclear family that began with Adam & Eve. Same sex relations are described in the Bible as abomination & detestable. I believe we are getting more of an idea why that is, as we observe the disregard in our nation of for children that grooming & drag queen story hours have brought us to.

Science cannot PROVE a thing is natural

Fantastic explanation of critical thinking....thank you

If you continue listening at the 36:31 mark another questioner asks her to clarify the statement that "the Bible got that wrong." Hope that will help

never mind, asked and answered. Thanks

Yeah her stance on the word got to me too. I just watched her sermon on “five lies of Antichristian age” and I’m almost sure she meant the hate behind those who do HATE the lgtbt. But sin is sin and she is definitely against homosexuality.

In one sense yes. ‘The wages of sin is death’(Rom 6:23). There’s not different categories of sin(as far as I know)in the since that some sins deserve death and other sins deserve lesser punishment. All sin exposes us to Gods just wrath. Believe it or not there’s good news that comes out of this and is found in the 2nd half of Romans 6:23 ‘....but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.’

The answer to your question is yes and no. All sins deserve God's wrath and punishment, so in that sense all sins are equal. On the other hand, there are some sins that are more heinous in the eyes of God either because of the action itself, the person who is committing the sin, or continual aggravated offense.

You clarified your position on this. Thank you!

Rosaria was very loving and gracious as well as smart.

I thank God that Intellectualism isn't a requirement for salvation!

That is wonderful about her and other things. However, I have come to know, over many years, a multitude of other very smart CHRISTian men (Ravi Zacharias is just one) and women who are good at explaining things, Biblical and secular, according to what God has called them to do with the lives, experiences, and gifts He has given them. I do especially love the Godly love HE has given her for people, whom God has created, and for God and His Word ... manifested in how she peaks respectfully and kindly to CHRISTians AND unbelieving dissenters, in fact came here knowing that would occur.

You probably know few Christians.

Wow

There have been a few questions about her statement the Bible got that wrong at the 31:00 mark. If you continue listening to the 36:31 mark another questioner asks her to clarify the statement which she does adequately.

watch the rest, she clarifies

46:00 is the clarification

Overall she did extremely good, with this one part, I think she afterwards clarified okay, but her answer could have been better. God gives His people wisdom that work in whatever social structure the powers that be have in place, and when we rely on God's wisdom, do things His way, things can turn around. Case and point slavery in the first century. Submit to your masters....etc...etc... Because of the Christian influence, it eventually got to the place that it was more beneficial to be a slave than free. Now that happened not because of force and revolt, but because of God working through His submitted people, and the Christian influence as salt and light in a dark, self destructing world. Anyway, we are not experts on everything, and we all can't answer every question the very best way. I really like how she did!

Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death." Slavery almost invariably involves kidnapping.

Context is people in the Bible made a lot of mistakes (sin) and got things wrong. In addition, people who have interpreted the Bible over the years have certainly gotten things wrong!

Did you listen to the entire video? She later clarifies that the Bible didn't get it wrong, but those who used that passage of scripture to condone slavery got it wrong.

Thank you for your question, Rainy. I will assume you are genuine in your intentions and will answer accordingly. Yes I did listen to the video. Her comments were absolutely wrong, as regards slavery. I do not say she is wrong in everything else. Quite the opposite. I have a lot of respect for her brave and frank testimony. I have witnessed homosexual conversion myself, and seen the power of the Divine Word first hand - the only true liberation of all mankind. I also noted her later capitulation which was somewhat inadequate and unclear on this matter. It would have been better to simply admit she was mistaken earlier and to affirm what Scripture actually does say. However, in fairness she is a brave public speaker facing a hostile audience on a frequent basis. And, whilst she has developed a jointly diplomatic and humorous style of response to the majority of ill aimed attacks upon herself, the fact still remains that some of her responses to questions fall short of a truly confessional Christian response. I like to think her occasional mishandling of Scripture is more about the pressure she faces in a public forum rather than a reticence to stand on Christian doctrine. Notwithstanding, I DEFEND my original comments because they were based on truth and objectivity. They needed to be expressed. I am not against her. Rather I applaud her conversion, courage and candor. I would that more people would be like her. For the record, I have also had to speak in public settings to a hostile audience, and I know the kinds of intimidation that audiences attempt to impose either wittingly or unwittingly. It is part of the deliberate indoctrination that is rampant through "education", particularly in western nations. Scripture cannot be used to condone slavery, but what is clear is that Scripture both recognized and does recognize existing states wherein slave holding institutions exist. In those states it calls upon those who are slaves to accept their duty to their masters as unto Christ. That this is difficult for a generation such as ourselves, does not negate the veracity of it. It is still the will of God that slaves serve their masters with honest labour, irrespective of how they were first enslaved. We know this for the simple reason THAT IT IS DIVINELY COMMANDED. Am I for slavery in any way shape or form? Absolutely NOT! Nevertheless it is not our business to allow subjective opinion to usurp in matters of divine rule. It is largely due to the civilizing influence of Christianity that slavery is virtually non-existent today. A prime example of this is the famous preacher John Newton who later influence the British Prime Minister of his day to work towards its very abolition in that state.

If I understand you correctly, I think you raised an excellent point. The vast majority of the professing church does not handle Scripture correctly. For this reason the visible church is rife with error. Yet, this is disobedience on a grand scale. The Lord through Scripture teaches us how to handle Scripture: It is through EXPOSITION of texts and not by "INTERPRETATION" that Scripture is rightly handled. The Apostle Peter states: "If any (man) speaks, let it be as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11). In other words, If any person presumes to teach or present anything in God's Name, It must be consistent and true in every respect to the very Words of God. This is nothing new, however. In Jeremiah 23:28 God outlines this principle: "He that has my Word, let him speak my Word faithfully". Conversely, Peter admonishes that "No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private INTERPRETATION" 1 Peter 1:20. Rather, In the days of Nehemiah (8:8) they read the word of God distinctly and then "Gave the sense (EXPOSITION)" . Using ALL the Scriptures (Moses and the prophets), Jesus himself EXPOUNDED the things concerning himself (Luke 24:27). We also see the noble example of the Bereans who daily searched the scriptures to attest whether the preaching of Paul was truly in accord with the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). There are many principles of hermeneutics found in Scripture. They are not difficult t understand or follow. Moreover, in all Scripture exposition, the rules of grammar apply; especially those of the original languages. This follows from the fact that God has chosen to communicate by the languages of Hebrew and Greek. Without the normal grammatical usage of these languages, all communication would break down as it did at Babel. so exposition MUST also be grammatical. Whilst there are occasional subtle nuances that are peculiar to literary genre and linguistic uses particular to the original languages, the clear meaning is often very apparent in faithful translations like the KJV (But certainly not in modern English translations which depart from the text frequently!). A little reflection and these principles of exposition will become perfectly clear. To that end I suggest the work of Fuerbringer on Hermenutics (1924). It has been around for nearly 100 years and is still an outstanding work on this topic.

she never dodged a question, not once.

or you don’t like how she answered the questions

She later clarifies that statement in her address. She was using that phrase in a pejorative fashion. Another questioner asked her to clarify that statement which she did. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for your comment, you are correct and very well written. With that said, I truly appreciate Rosario’s ministry, she’s so gifted and so brave.

She apologized for misspeaking and clarified that the bible got it right at mark 37 and mark 46

she clarified her statement TWICE

There have been a few questions about her statement the Bible got that wrong at the 31:00 mark. If you continue listening to the 36:31 mark another questioner asks her to clarify the statement which she does adequately.

What is exposition.

My thoughts exactly!

@@RUFOwls Sorry, but I can’t gloss over the statement that the Bible got something wrong.

Given the context and Rosaria's later clarification, it's clear she was using the argument of an unbeliever "the Bible got it wrong." It's pretty obvious she doesn't believe the Bible got it wrong.

1+1=2 is older than 2000 years old Doesn't make ut any less true

You are conflating factual information with truth. I can take facts (a description of observed reality) and recite them with my biased interpretation. That could result in varying degrees of truthfulness. Pre-1970's the DSM said homosexuality was a mental illness. What changed? Political pressure.... which in turn pushed societal morals and biases. Two people can witness the same event, more or less agree on the facts, but disagree on the "truth" of what happened. There's a saying, " The grass is always greener on the other side", and another, "Don't judge until you have walked a mile in their shoes". Rosario would tell you this, because it's in her testimony, until you surrender yourself to something fully, you can't truthfully understand it. You have little room to judge something until you are up to your neck deep into that thing. What is threatening to many is that Rosario has made a choice about two different ways of being (no, not gay vs straight): Pagan vs Christian

what question did she not answer?

@@RUFOwls Which I stated as much in my comment above prior to your reply. I was just saying she needs to be clear right away just in case no one calls her on it. I would've gone on thinking she believes that if she wasn't asked to clarify. I think she's great to listen to.

If you believe a being is fictitious, why do you thank him Progress is a false myth

what are you talking about?

🤡🙄

The message of christianity comes throygh the bible So your comment is moot

ubervirtuoso please post the contradictions of the Bible?

Faith does solve problems
