  Always on time. The Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:00
  my name is Brett Keene and you were watching and listening to
• 1:03
  the Brett Keene Show. I hope you're all having a
• 1:05
  wonderful time. Make sure that you follow me on
• 1:09

  through Cash app. The links are right on my
• 1:14
  profile of Twitter, if that's something you're interested in
• 1:18
  doing. Today we're going to talk about
• 1:22
  can a Christian be a homosexual? Can a Christian be attracted to
• 1:28
  the same gender and somehow still managed to follow?
• 1:33
  Worship God, adhere to him, respect God, and do it this way?
• 1:41
  Before I answer or I respond to any of those type of questions
• 1:46
  1st I'm going to acknowledge and make you all aware.
• 1:50
  In case you don't know, I'm not a preacher, I'm not a Pope.
• 1:55
  I have no authority of any kind of church whatsoever to be able
• 1:59
  to say this or talk about the things I'm talking about.
• 2:05
  I'm going to give you some verses and we're going to
• 2:07
  discuss them. And Christians are more than
• 2:11
  welcome to correct me if they think that I'm wrong about what
• 2:15
  I'm about to tell you. According to the Bible in James
• 2:19
  Chapter 2, verse 10, it says if you've committed one sin, you
• 2:25
  are guilty of all, which seems to mean whether small or big,
• 2:31
  it's a sin. And those sins mean that you're
• 2:35
  guilty of all of the commandments.
• 2:37
  You break one, you broken them all.
• 2:40
  According to Romans chapter one, verse 18 to 32, it says no sin
• 2:46
  is greater than another. And Romans is written by a guy
• 2:49
  named Paul who literally before he found Christ, went around and
• 2:54
  killed people. He murdered people and he
• 2:58
  murdered Christians, people who believed in Jesus Christ.
• 3:02
  But if you were to ask any Christian out there, do they
• 3:04
  believe that Paul made it to heaven?
• 3:07
  Do they believe that when Peter violently assaulted a guard that
• 3:10
  wanted to take Jesus Christ away by cutting the man's ear off,
• 3:14
  mutilating him, was that OK? Well, Jesus says forgive them,
• 3:20
  for they know not what they do. However, homosexuality does have
• 3:25
  special words used on it in the Old Testament that a lot of sins
• 3:30
  do not, and some atheists out there might actually bring it
• 3:33
  up. They'll say, well, in Leviticus
• 3:36
  it says homosexuality is an abomination to God.
• 3:40
  But what is an abomination? It means that God hates
• 3:43
  something. He loathes it.
• 3:46
  Loathing means hate. Abomination means it's something
• 3:50
  that God strictly hates. So does that mean that it's
• 3:54
  bigger or smaller? Well, if we take a look in
• 3:58
  Psalms 55, it says God hates all workers of iniquity.
• 4:02
  And what is workers of iniquity? People who are lawless, People
• 4:07
  who break the commandments. People who sin.
• 4:11
  If you're a transgressor of the law and the commandments, then
• 4:15
  you're a Sinner. And the Bible says that there's
• 4:18
  not one man or woman in this world that is without sin.
• 4:23
  That's the reason why Jesus Christ came to the earth and
• 4:27
  died on the cross. So you would have the potential
• 4:30
  and the ability to actually be forgiven for what you've done.
• 4:35
  Now the difference between homosexuality and a few of those
• 4:38
  sins out there that God has an issue with is some of these
• 4:42
  sins. They can be done once or twice
• 4:46
  or more, depends. Like a person, Usually whenever
• 4:50
  they go out and rob somebody, I would say a majority of people,
• 4:53
  they don't take pride in being a thief unless they're like a
• 4:58
  jewel thief or one of those art thieves or something.
• 5:01
  Perhaps deep down inside they feel good about themselves and
• 5:04
  they feel like they've done something great, especially
• 5:07
  whenever they make a lot of money off of the theft that they
• 5:09
  do. If they continue to do it over
• 5:12
  and over, then obviously there's going to be a problem there.
• 5:16
  It's really difficult and challenging to call yourself a
• 5:19
  Christian at the same time being a thief.
• 5:22
  But somehow there's a lot of Catholics out there and a lot of
• 5:25
  preachers who have ripped people off who seem to think that at
• 5:29
  the end of the day they're still going to go to heaven.
• 5:32
  Well, I'm not God. I'm not the judge, so I can't
• 5:35
  determine what's going to happen.
• 5:36
  I have no idea what's in these people's heart.
• 5:40
  There are many Christians out there as well as non believers
• 5:43
  and people of the other face who will look at pornography.
• 5:47
  While they know that they're married and they continue to go
• 5:51
  to church and continue to be a Christian and claim to respect
• 5:56
  Jesus Christ while doing so well, I think deep down in their
• 6:00
  heart they probably know that what they're doing is wrong.
• 6:03
  They know that it's not good for their loved one that they're
• 6:06
  married with, and some will even claim that their partners are OK
• 6:11
  with that kind of thing. Some people claim that their
• 6:13
  partners are OK with them having an open relationship.
• 6:18
  That's a little difficult to argue as well.
• 6:22
  Is it OK to have an open relationship?
• 6:25
  Well, in the Bible there were people who actually had several
• 6:29
  wives. That's right, Solomon.
• 6:33
  He had, according to the Bible, over 1000 wives, some of the
• 6:37
  most beautiful women ever. And I guess he would basically
• 6:41
  Make Love to one, one or another of them, or maybe several of
• 6:45
  them at the same time. Who knows what his sexual life
• 6:48
  was? Most people know that King David
• 6:51
  was a bit promiscuous and went so far as to killing an innocent
• 6:55
  man just so he could be with this man's woman.
• 6:59
  But what was her name? Bathsheba, Something of that
• 7:03
  nature. A lot of the men in the Bible
• 7:05
  did some pretty rough stuff. Abraham himself, which is what
• 7:09
  all three religions Islam, Judaism, Christianity.
• 7:13
  Abraham himself, Abrahamic religion, slept with the
• 7:18
  concubine and the wife set him up to do it because she didn't
• 7:22
  think that she was young enough to have children anymore.
• 7:26
  So they went ahead and had a child.
• 7:28
  And if people look back in history and then the story of
• 7:31
  Abraham, especially in the Koran, you'll discover that's
• 7:35
  where the Muslims actually came from.
• 7:37
  And God said he would protect those Muslims.
• 7:40
  He said that the people that came from the concubine would be
• 7:44
  protected and they would have great multitudes of people and
• 7:48
  they would have kingdoms. That's the reason why Islam is
• 7:51
  so big. God protects them.
• 7:54
  Whether Christians believe that the God of the Quran is the same
• 7:58
  God as the Bible, Even in the Bible it says that God is there
• 8:03
  for them and he didn't abandoned this concubine who had a child
• 8:09
  of Abraham's. So I guess when it comes down to
• 8:18
  it, when you commit a sin, the idea is through Jesus Christ,
• 8:24
  you repent of it. You don't take pride in what
• 8:28
  you're doing wrong. You'll do something.
• 8:31
  You might be tempted. You might fall in the lust, you
• 8:33
  might have sex with a woman, You may cheat on your wife, or your
• 8:36
  wife cheats on you, and it's going to hurt everybody that's
• 8:40
  involved. Obviously it's going to cause a
• 8:42
  lot of destruction and it isn't going to please God in any kind
• 8:45
  of way. We all sin and if one sin it
• 8:49
  means that we've committed it all, that we've broken the law,
• 8:54
  then we're going to be in trouble for it.
• 8:57
  Now God doesn't do like what cops do, an FBI agents and some
• 9:02
  police. Police have different and court
• 9:06
  systems have different ideas of the severity of the law.
• 9:11
  But God is not a human being, so he doesn't see it that way.
• 9:15
  Evil to him is evil. There is no God has never said
• 9:19
  there's a lesser evil here and then a stronger evil here.
• 9:24
  Evil is evil. Sin is sin, no matter how you
• 9:28
  look at it. Technically a person could be
• 9:32
  gay and actually believe in their heart that they're
• 9:36
  committed to God. There's absolutely no way that
• 9:40
  any of you out there can fight your own attractions, you know,
• 9:46
  even homosexuals, they'll claim that this.
• 9:48
  I can't. I can't fight it.
• 9:51
  I'm attracted to people and I just can't stop myself from
• 9:55
  doing it. Now, there's a scary thing to
• 9:57
  this, and there's also there's something here to be worried
• 10:02
  about. When a person says that they
• 10:03
  can't control their sexual urges and that they just have to go
• 10:08
  sleep with people. You do realize that child
• 10:11
  molesters also make that same argument.
• 10:14
  They say I didn't want to do things with children, but you
• 10:19
  know, I had the urge as they claim, so they went ahead and
• 10:22
  they did it. It's not really a good argument.
• 10:25
  Isn't. And it's not going to fly with
• 10:27
  God. It doesn't fly with humanity or
• 10:30
  the court system. So it's not going to fly
• 10:32
  probably with God. But I can tell you this, If you
• 10:37
  truly feel bad about what you're doing, if you truly feel as
• 10:41
  though what you're doing is a sin, and you acknowledge it, and
• 10:45
  you say to God, give me the strength, Give me the ability to
• 10:49
  be able to get through this temptation and this lust.
• 10:54
  Help me. Support me.
• 10:56
  Be there for me, oh Lord. Whenever I'm in these dark
• 10:59
  moments, or these moments where my brain is frenzied and my
• 11:03
  hormones are wanting to take over my body, then perhaps there
• 11:08
  is a way. But I can assure you that if
• 11:12
  you're a part of the LGBT movement where you make a
• 11:15
  holiday out of it and you run down the street naked, claiming
• 11:21
  that you take pride in all this sin that you commit, then you're
• 11:25
  definitely not going to be repented of it.
• 11:31
  It's one thing to actually do this Go out and have sex with
• 11:35
  someone of your gender and then turn around and say God, I, I, I
• 11:41
  want to change. I want to do better for myself.
• 11:44
  And then there's another thing where you actually celebrate the
• 11:47
  sins that you commit. If a Christian goes out and
• 11:51
  cheats over and over and over on his wife, or a Christian looks
• 11:56
  at pornography over and over and then basically Pats himself on
• 12:00
  the back and says good job and doesn't acknowledge the
• 12:04
  wrongness in it, then I assure you there's no way to get to
• 12:09
  heaven doing that. But if you're a person who from
• 12:14
  time and time again you fall into sin and you ask God to help
• 12:19
  you and and get you through, then there's a chance that you
• 12:24
  could make it in the heaven. Having that issue, there's some
• 12:28
  Christians out there may argue with me and say no, no, no, no,
• 12:31
  no that that couldn't be possible.
• 12:33
  You know, you're not supposed to do that to with your body and do
• 12:36
  these kind of things. Well, The thing is, is that God
• 12:41
  is interested in our soul. He's not interested so much in
• 12:45
  what we do with our physical body.
• 12:48
  It does say in the Old Testament, don't damage your
• 12:51
  temple, don't you know, dilute it with all kinds of nonsense.
• 12:57
  But in the end, we're all going to die and our physical bodies
• 13:01
  will be nothing, just crumbs floating around space.
• 13:05
  When the world ends, it's our soul.
• 13:10
  Do we inside of us and our very soul and our very breath?
• 13:15
  Do we want to be better? Do we want to be, do good?
• 13:20
  If we stood before Jesus Christ right now, and we were given a
• 13:24
  choice to either worship and follow our lust and temptations
• 13:29
  and our desires to do evil or to follow Jesus Christ, what would
• 13:36
  you truly do? Would you be the man who says,
• 13:39
  I'm rich, I'm rich, can I follow you, Jesus Christ?
• 13:44
  And he says, no, no, you can't because you care more about your
• 13:50
  wants and your desires as opposed to what it is that I'm
• 13:55
  trying to teach and what I'm trying to do.
• 13:59
  So basically I'm saying in a nutshell that yeah, you're going
• 14:03
  to send, no matter who you are out there, you're going to send,
• 14:06
  you're going to have problems. As long as you don't bathe in
• 14:11
  your sins and continuously do them over and over and over
• 14:15
  again and celebrate it, then there might be a chance.
• 14:20
  But again, I'm going to finish with this.
• 14:25
  I'm not God. So if you stand before God and
• 14:30
  he said that you've fallen into your temptation too much.
• 14:34
  If you chose your desires and your sexual wants over what he
• 14:40
  asks you to do, who knows? Who knows?
• 14:47
  As far as child molestation goes, though, which seems to be
• 14:50
  a a pattern consistent thing with transgenders out there, Men
• 14:55
  who want to be women, well, God went a bit far with what he
• 15:03
  thinks about that. He said that if you hurt little
• 15:07
  people, you hurt children, then it's better for you to tie a
• 15:11
  milestone around your neck and be dropped into the sea.
• 15:14
  It's pretty clear that there's no way you're getting to heaven
• 15:18
  doing that kind of stuff. But he's not just talking about
• 15:22
  sexual nature causing children to stumble.
• 15:25
  If you're a false preacher who's lying to a child, or you're
• 15:29
  scaring children or doing horrible things to kids, whether
• 15:33
  it's sexual in nature or not, you're going to burn for it.
• 15:37
  And when I say burn, remember I'm an annihilationist.
• 15:40
  I mean that your soul will be destroyed.
• 15:43
  God doesn't have no use for you. I know that much.
• 15:48
  The Bible is straight up clear on that.
• 15:51
  As far as the Old Testament, whenever it says stone
• 15:54
  adulterers, stone people who commit bestiality, stone
• 15:58
  homosexuals and all that, that is in the Old Testament.
• 16:02
  And Christians have repeatedly had to remind people that we're
• 16:06
  under a new covenant. We also have to keep people
• 16:10
  reminded that a lot of that stuff that went on in the Old
• 16:14
  Testament was between primitive tribes and civilizations.
• 16:19
  Back then. It was very important,
• 16:22
  especially in the Old Testament, that families come together to
• 16:27
  be able to create children and populate the earth.
• 16:30
  That was very important to God. That families exist and be able
• 16:34
  to produce and bear fruit and multiply.
• 16:39
  God doesn't change, though some could argue, and since God
• 16:44
  doesn't change an old covenant, new covenant, whatever the
• 16:48
  covenant is called, God is always going to have the same
• 16:51
  view on that. So that's something to keep in
• 16:54
  mind. Is it mean?
• 16:57
  Does it mean that God doesn't exist, or that God is hateful
• 17:01
  because he laid down these rules or these specific things that he
• 17:05
  wants? No.
• 17:08
  Whenever a child comes into this world, a father and mother have
• 17:11
  the perfect right to be able to say what they expect from their
• 17:15
  children, what it will take to get yourself disowned or
• 17:20
  abandoned or whatever. God's love.
• 17:24
  I don't know who came up with the idea that God's love is just
• 17:28
  unconditional no matter what. Obviously it's not.
• 17:32
  If God says that he hates all workers of iniquity, obviously
• 17:36
  there are people out there that do things that are so awful.
• 17:40
  God felt even before mankind existed, there would need to be
• 17:44
  a place for them to go where they would be destroyed.
• 17:49
  So I think a lot of people who ask these questions, you already
• 17:53
  know the answer. You're just trying to find some
• 17:57
  reason that you can condemn and judge God in order for you to
• 18:01
  not take accountability for what you've done are what you plan to
• 18:05
  do, and so be it. Then you are like the rich man
• 18:13
  who prefers his desires and his fetishes and his fantasies and
• 18:20
  his materialistic wants and desires over what God wants for
• 18:25
  him. If that's the case, I can't tell
• 18:29
  you for sure if you'll go to heaven or not.
• 18:33
  Again, it's all depends on what's going on in your heart
• 18:35
  and what God sees. Because none of us out there
• 18:38
  have the ability to look inside your heart and mind and
• 18:42
  understand or fully comprehend who you are, what you're about,
• 18:47
  and why you do the things you do.
• 18:50
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, God bless.
