"Paul is covering all his bases, he's looking at the homosexual relationship and he's seeing there are there's the effeminate ones and then there is the more active ones so there's the soft men and the men that forcibly take other men to bed, so you have the passive and the active partner in a homosexual relationship. What we want to note here is that this is unquestionably about homosexual practice and again Paul is covering all his bases he's not letting anyone get out of this equation." [00:17:00]

"Homosexuality is sinful it will debar you from Heaven homosexuals can be saved but please get this last fact in order to be saved all Sinners mentioned here must be changed, all Sinners must undergo what it says in verse 11. You must be washed you must be Sanctified you must be justified. Why am I harping on that for a brief moment, you can put it this way, you must become not homosexual." [00:19:48]

"Jesus does address homosexuality by discussing Godly marriage in Matthew 19. So everybody learn that passage write that passage down Matthew 19 Jesus looks at Godly marriage and he says it's between a man and a woman and he defends it and he makes it so Crystal Clear and vodi Balcom taught me that point I want you all to take that home people say Jesus doesn't talk about it you say no he does he addresses heterosexual marriage he says that it's blessed of God and therefore he does address it amen." [00:21:47]

"The Bible's teachings on homosexuality are not limited to ancient customs but speak universally about explicit acts. This counters the argument that the Bible only addresses outdated practices. The Bible speaks about explicit acts okay that's how we answer that objection." [00:25:02]

"All the sins in these lists are equally damning, and they will all equally keep you out of heaven, but and this is a very important but so please listen, some are more or less heinous in the eyes of God, okay and we need to be able to say that some sins in this list are more heinous in the eyes of God than others." [00:27:23]

"The law is necessary to convict sinners and lead them to Christ. Preaching grace without addressing sin fails to bring about true repentance and transformation. First Timothy chapter 1 explicitly says that they need the law, so when we go out to the pride parade and if we just say homosexuality is sinful, what you're doing is evil, is that is it okay to say that or not, it's okay it actually needs to get spoken and it's from there that the law drives them to their need for God and then drives a man or a woman to his or her need for God's grace." [00:36:04]

"Homosexuals can be saved but they must change their identity so thoroughly that they are now not homosexual and that they are found in Jesus Christ amen amen." [00:20:14]

"Some sins in this list are more heinous in the eyes of God than others for example look at the list here uh thieves drunkards those sins are not spoken of in such horrid terms as sodomy or homosexuality in the rest of the Bible they simply aren't, and so you want to get this in Leviticus 18 verse 22 and Leviticus 20 verse 13. The word used for these particular sins is abomination." [00:28:05]

"Deuteronomy 22 and verse 5 and it says the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so are Abomination unto the Lord thy God. Now what's that talking about is that talking about transgenderism as people have uh painted it today, no it's literally talking about cross-dressing right transvestitism, but what is it saying about cross-dressing it's saying God looks at a woman who dresses like a man and he says detestable he hates that." [00:29:49]

"Paul says having this hope within us we use great plainness of speech, hope within us we should be able simply to say that's abomination, that's good, it's good to do that it's bad to do that, that's evil that's righteous, do you see what I'm saying, if we're truly Christians you just teach your kids the Simplicity of the Gospel, teach yourselves the Simplicity of the Gospel speak straight to people, don't mince your words." [00:48:38]

"Jesus is God and God wrote The Holy Bible, so Jesus has superintended the writing of every single passage here, we see Paul writing this but he's writing it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and he's writing it with the approval of Jesus Christ himself amen amen everybody with me amen." [00:22:32]

"First Timothy chapter 1 and verse 8 it says knowing this uh yeah sorry verse 8 but we know that the law is good if a man uses it lawfully, wow everybody see that, here we are in the New Covenant in the New Testament even in the Epistles of the New Testament the grace of Jesus Christ has come the New Covenant has been cut in his blood we're recipients of Grace and here Paul says to Timothy but we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully."
