| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Cissy Graham Lynch. Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a |
| 0:08.6 | compromising culture. Fearless. Welcome to be. |
| 0:16.5 | Beless. Welcome to be. Welcome to another episode of Fearless and today we're going to talk about a tough |
| 0:26.4 | subject and I think we're seeing a trend in our society where churches and pastors are not addressing social issues and |
| 0:35.7 | tough topics from the pulpit and there could be a number of reasons for that. |
| 0:39.6 | They don't want to offend anybody which I think too bad we already live in an easily |
| 0:43.2 | offended culture but if we're going to talk about Jesus and the gospel he came to take |
| 0:49.1 | the sins of the world away which we have to address the sin. And that's unpopular amongst a lot of |
| 0:55.8 | churches. I think maybe they misunderstand the nature of God. They don't want to |
| 1:00.5 | lose numbers in their churches. There could be a number of reasons why they're not addressing these subjects and we can talk about that at another time. |
| 1:07.0 | But we're going to talk about homosexuality today because we see this being a very divisive subject even in the church. |
| 1:17.0 | So I believe we need to look at it, we need to see what scripture says about it, |
| 1:21.0 | because this isn't a political issue, it's not a social issue, this is a biblical issue. |
| 1:30.3 | As a Christian, I view homosexuality as any other sin. |
| 1:35.0 | I see it the same as my sin. I see it as the same sin as sex before marriage, adultery, |
| 1:41.0 | all that sin nailed Jesus to the cross. So their sin, my sin all nailed Jesus to the |
| 1:47.8 | cross. He took it all. That whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. |
| 1:54.5 | So when I'm talking about the subject of homosexuality, I don't see any different and I don't see |
| 1:59.6 | my friends send any different than mine. |
| 2:03.2 | And I think it's in our culture we see a lot of churches, pastors and faith leaders not wanting |
| 2:10.6 | to talk about this subject. Because I think the subject in 2019 has become |
| 2:15.1 | personal to us. |
