"Can't I follow Jesus along with my same-sex attractions?" If your child asked you this question, what would you say? Would you shy away from the truth? In this video, Frank responds to a woman concerned about children potentially turning away from the faith if not affirmed.

@stormykeep9213 Says:
It may be hard, but telling them the truth is like planting a seed. They may not like to hear it at first, but down the road at some point they'll realize their lifestyle is not bringing them happiness, and like an addict that hits rock bottom, that seed will come back to them and just maybe lead them back to God.

Pray without ceasing. You can pray to have him bombarded with God's love which will call him to faith.
@Happyxcamper Says:
"A man may live with a man, & a woman may live with a woman."
"But 'sexual immorality' harms us, no matter the gender. & in 'the kingdom of God in heaven,' there is neither male nor female. So then, how do we expect to be a 'homo-anything' there?"
"We are only 'homosapien's' for now, just like anything else we try to 'brand' on a forehead."
@johnrichards6080 Says:
"...tell them the truth." If they're ostracized, get bullied, face depression, commit suicide, are killed, then it's their fault. They're sinners. The absence of empathy, love and compassion in fundamentalist Christianity is astonishing. I'm sure Jesus would be horrified that people are using scripture to justify their hard-hearted bigotry.
@websurfer5772 Says:
So if someone is gay and wants to belong to your church, do they still feel welcomed there? Are they pressured to try to change themselves to become hetero?
@sebastianwilson8899 Says:
If you present a false Gospel to sinners, then you’re sinning yourself…Paul was clear if you present “another Gospel” you’re under a curse, so then you and the person you’re trying to minister to are BOTH in trouble….. it’s like at how Adam dealt with Eve, by eating the fruit and sinning with her he was actually saying: “ I’m going to die (in sin) WITH you”. Christ on the other hand did not partake of our sin and said: “I’m going to die FOR you….” The first Adam went DOWN and INTO sin, the second Adam lifts us UP and OUT of sin, to put it that way.

@thewordistruth399 Says:
What harm is caused by a homosexual lifestyle? A lot of people want to believe if there is no immediate consequence then there is no harm done, but how does any person engaging in a homosexual lifestyle know if their lifestyle is harming them or not? Most people I have met are not that self aware. A study in 2020 measured how many thoughts people had in a day, and it was estimated that people have a staggering 6,000 thoughts a day. If that's true, I can't even tell you 10% of my thoughts in a day. Thoughts produce feelings and actions. I have been known to say "I'm feeling something, but I couldn't even tell you what I was thinking about."
Is it possible a lifestyle could be hurting you, but you just can't identify the harm it is doing. Maybe many homosexuals are depressed, but never tie it to homosexuality. Maybe they can't hold a job, and never tie it to homosexuality. Maybe they have anger problems and can never tie it to homosexuality.
Sin, all sin, even gluttony, which I am very familiar with, produces feelings, beliefs, opinions in our minds and bodies, souls and spirts, and most people cannot identify completely what those feeling and beliefs are. Heck, most people would not even be able to identify all the thoughts they think in a day. I'm positive, every homosexual has thought "this is wrong" but probably don't remember every time they think that thought. I'm also positive every homosexual has thought "this is right" but couldn't always identify that as well.
The point I'm trying to make is we need the mind of Christ, because only he can parse out all our thoughts and help us live in righteousness to get our minds to think on whatever it good, noble, praiseworthy and excellent. Without Christ, nobody is righteous. I do not lead a homosexual lifestyle, but I have struggled with same sex attraction. The lifestyle I have lead though is gluttony, and I promise you, it was damaging me, even when all that chocolate tasted good. So just because a consequence is not readily available, doesn't mean there isn't one. That is why God's wisdom is so important, because we can trust him to lead us in righteous paths and we do not need to trust in our limited intellect in determing what is harmful or not.
@thomaswhaley9799 Says:
Many people at the time might have thought Jesus was a outcast because they they didn’t think was the one to come. That didn’t stop him from spreading the word and saving people. That’s what I think what’s the mother gets wrong. It’s not what the world thinks of us. It’s if she shows her child that she can live her life and stay on her mission to God because God is the only one that we really should think that we are living up to His standards.
@juliecantina8479 Says:
God comes first, before ALL. Everyone and everything. If you have a child that thinks anything that has to do with the "pride" agenda is good, PLEASE set them straight in The Lord. Scripture makes it very clear it is sin, and against God. Anyone that has true knowledge of God knows this is true. Take a stand against this wickedness, and train up your child in the instruction of The Lord. Amen.
@joeywright4638 Says:
Amen! Scripture does not call us to "affirm our children." Utter nonsense!!!
@cygnusustus Says:
The Bible is not truth, children.
@L5player Says:
If a child--or anyone else, for that matter--believed that taking a daily sip of antifreeze would protect them against illness, should they be "affirmed" in that belief lest they be offended and driven away, or told they are only killing themselves slowly?
We don't tell people they are right about something important when they are clearly wrong about it. "The truth will make you free" doesn't mean "the truth will enslave and alienate you." We tell people what the Scripture says. "Thy word is truth."
@ce6236 Says:
Our pastor had a lesbian sister. One of His testimony that one day He speak the truth to her lesbian sister and share the gospel. Years pass and her lesbian sister turn to a full grown woman. And a drummer of the church. Keep praying . Jesus is real! (Im asian forgive my english) God bless

@kristofferssondavid Says:
Don't think you will reach the youth by telling them they are 'out' as sinners.
They need to understand: why, what and how.
Since the beginning sin is to follow your desire over God's command.
Do you say: 'Thy will be done' or 'my will be done'?
You have to lead them to a relationship with our Creator through Jesus and live a life in the Holy Spirit.
If we want our church to be like 1 Cor 6 with former homosexuals we need to love them.
Without love we risk to lose our youth and the lost are out of reach.
Don't throw stones because we are all sinners in need of a saviour, and we might struggle like Peter but Jesus is faithful, and let us say the words 'go and sin no more' with a heart full of love then they will understand it's because you want them to inherit the kingdom of God.
I appreciate your videos a lot, they have helped me.
With love! ❤️✝️

I wonder if Frank and the team can explain what it is about them that attracts so many people who simply come into these comment sections to troll.
I get the feeling that if Frank said 'ice cream is cold', within seconds the usual suspects would be screaming 'prove it' or equally inane comments.
@dabbler1166 Says:
The kid asks: what the bad is in same sex attraction? What planet is this lady on?
I'd tell them: Gee, what's the attraction of putting your "member" into someone's rear end?! Doesn't that seem ANY degree of gross to you??
God forbid any "good Christian parent" (these days) would tell their own kids to REPENT.
Or show them Romans One, verses 26-28.
Or encourage them to get a hetero boyfriend/girlfriend.
DON'T BUY this business about "I can't help it".
If you really couldn't, why would Paul condemn what was impossible to resist. I dont buy it. You shouldn't either.
People HAVE "left the lifestyle", but this is a HUGE Uber-taboo for the gay "community" to admit. READ the Book: Shadow in the Land by former congressman Dannemeyer. He took a ton of heat for writing that book but he also exposed alot!
@harryfaber Says:
If a person does not believe in God or the Bible, giving them the word of God will make no difference at all.
We must be willing to speak in terms that they will listen to and the biology, the science, is remarkably clear on this subject.
@simeonyves5940 Says:
You Forsake them as Christ Jesus the Lord Commands, anyone who is Not willing to Forsake a Child who goes against Christ is not Fit to be a Disciple! The Holy Scripture is very clear on this!
@charleshockenbarger9573 Says:
You can't save people. Tell them the truth and if they reject it, they are rejecting God and you then have a decision -- do you love God more than you love your child? Ministering to Satan is not possible. Christ didn't come to make everyone be saved
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
(Mat 10:35)
You need to depart from that worker of iniquity, as Paul tells the Corinthians!
It hurts to make that separation, but if you value your soul, you will not try to walk with Belial and have any concord with him.
@joshuaharvey1054 Says:
So homosexuality is sin but polygamy is OK right?
Lamech, Abraham, Esau, Jacob, Gideon, David and Solomon are just some of the men shown taking multiple wives in the Bible.
No condemnation is given.
God even gave David Saul’s wives. (Why would he do that if he didn’t approve of polygamy?)
“Thus saith the LORD God of Israel ... I gave thee [David] ... thy master’s [Saul’s] wives...”
2 Samuel 12:7-8
He set up rules for men who wanted to take another wife.
“If he take him another wife...”Exodus 21:10
And he provided instructions for men that had two wives, one beloved, and another hated.
“If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated...”Deuteronomy 21:15
Even Jesus (sometimes) seemed OK with polygamy? The parable of the ten virgins involves a man and his ten brides.
“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Matthew 25:1”
(There is evidence that later editors modified things so that the story's ten virgins, of whom five wise ones find the groom and five foolish ones don't, are "bridesmaids" rather than brides.)
If an early passage of Genesis is meant to condemn polygamy, why does God remain silent about it for the rest of his book, throughout generations of polygamous patriarchs of Israel?
How about Genocide?(Numbers 31:17-18, Joshua 6:21, 1 Samuel 15:3)
Female sex slavery?(Exodus 21:7-8)
Stop the hypocrisy.
We all cherry pick and prioritize certain verses in the Bible while deemphasizing and downplaying others to fit our confirmation bias. We build systematic theologies out of texts that
(at-least on the surface) do not appear to agree with each other. 🤷♂️

@elizaleski9618 Says:
Where does Paul say “you’re out”
@Ezekiel336-16 Says:
To be honest, from my own experience, it was my turning away from Jesus and what I was raised with that ultimately brought me to Him forever. I was angry at the Lord and my family for many things, which all defiant sinners are in one or more ways, and when I gave into that anger through sin and rejection of the Lord, I eventually came to the end of myself and saw the wretched creature that I was. Then I had to make a choice, and with His grace and my will to survive I did. That wasn't perfect love by any means, but it was the start to a new life and the perfect (complete and whole) love with Him that I and us are are meant for.
The point being is this, your kid(s) may well have to turn away from the Lord before they will really turn to Him forever. They may not though, but they never truly will if we are feeding them with lies about who the Lord is and what He wants for us and from us all. Also, it's worth noting that Jesus used 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 to scare the hELL I was choosing out of me! So, it's appropriate that Frank mentioned that book and chapter.
Love your kids and others by telling them the truth and not enabling their sins, and entrust the rest to the Lord. They may still not make it, but they never will by people doing otherwise. The Truth (who is Jesus) sets and keeps us free!!!
In Christ,
Andrew

Jesus came to save us from satan's bondage and subsequently living in satan's nature (the true definition of sin) by resurrecting our spirit to allow His Spirit to live in and through us, changing us into His image and likeness, allowing us to live in His nature, no desire to sin anymore...
