Richard Lorenzo walks into an LGBTQ-affirming church in Miami and starts asking questions about faith, sin, and repentance. In this video, I react to the encounter and examine what the Bible teaches about whether Christians are called to affirm sin or turn from it.

00:00We have Richard Lorenzo going inside an LGBTQ church,
00:04exposing what they do, what they believe.
00:07It's a crazy time that we live in
00:09that this is a more normal reality than ever before,
00:12where people are very bold
00:13and they make this kind of the forefront
00:15of what they believe.
00:17Like, it's important to let people know
00:18that we affirm this thing.
00:20Well, pretty much any church I know of,
00:22and I know there's always exceptions,
00:24any church I know of that doesn't affirm this
00:25is welcoming to those people.
00:28They want them to be in their congregation
00:29so they can hear the truth.
00:30They want them to get in the shower to get cleaned up,
00:32and they're not expecting people to clean up
00:34before they get in the shower.
00:35Now, there's always bad apples.
00:36There's always people who have really represented Christ poorly,
00:39but sin is sin at the end of the day.
00:40It's all the same when it comes to how God judges us.
00:43It's what has us falling short of his glory,
00:45but this sin seems to get promoted heavily
00:47for churches to bring people in.
00:48So let's see what happens as he goes into the church,
00:49but before we get into it, my name is Cliff Buell.
00:51If you're new here, welcome.
00:51If you're not new here, welcome back to this channel.
00:53It's just to build a believer and reach the lost.
00:54If you like Christian content,
00:55make sure to hit that subscribe button
00:56and share this video with somebody who would appreciate it.
00:58But let's check it out.
00:59You won't believe what we witnessed inside of a church.
01:01This Episcopal church welcomes you to Trinity Cathedral.
01:05God loves you.
01:06We recently visited a Catholic church in Miami
01:08that openly promotes and invites the LGBTQ community
01:11into its congregation.
01:12We are a church who joins together
01:13with those who help us to understand
01:15and celebrate gender identity and sexual orientation.
01:20This is not a church of God.
01:21This is a church of Satan.
01:22An act that blatantly goes against the word of God.
01:24LGBTQ ideology contradicts God's nature,
01:26and he makes this clear through his word
01:28and the moral law written on our hearts.
01:29Watch this video all the way to the end
01:31to see what happens.
01:32Huge church, man.
01:34Looks like it's been around for a minute.
01:39As you guys can see,
01:46this Episcopal church welcomes you to Trinity Cathedral.
01:49God loves you.
01:50I'm pretty sure this is the LGBTQ flag,
01:52so let's see if they're open, man.
01:53If they're open, we can get inside
01:54and hopefully get an interview.
01:56So the front door wasn't open.
01:57We tried to get in.
01:58Maybe the back door is open.
01:59Let's see.
02:00Oh, they're open.
02:03I know in the Catholic church,
02:04they leave like a certain door open
02:05for people that want to pray.
02:09Let's try the other door.
02:12Looks like it might be open.
02:15Hello.
02:15How you doing?
02:16How do you work here?
02:20Please, please, please, please.
02:21Do you work here?
02:23Yes.
02:23Are you a pastor?
02:24No.
02:24What do you say?
02:25What do you say?
02:27An interview.
02:27He wants to ask you a question
02:29to ask what church is here.
02:32One moment.
02:33Please.
02:33Wait a minute.
02:34You're...
02:35Okay.
02:37So he said to wait a moment.
02:38I guess he's going to get an English-speaking person
02:40or somebody that is a deacon or a pastor.
02:41So let's see what's up.
02:42While I have you here,
02:43I created an app that blocks your distracting apps
02:45until you read your Bible.
02:46It's called First Life Bible and Prayer.
02:47You start with a prayer,
02:48you read the Bible,
02:49and then you mark off which book
02:51and chapter that you read
02:52so you can track reading through the entire Bible.
02:53And then it unlocks your app
02:54so you can stop being distracted
02:55instead of spending time with God.
02:57This has actually personally helped me
02:58for the past four months.
02:59If you think that it can help you too,
03:00click the link in the pinned comment below
03:01or scan the QR code.
03:02What's your name?
03:03Manuel, Manuel.
03:04What is your job?
03:08So he maintains the whole church.
03:10Maintenance?
03:12Maintenance, cleaning, organization, everything.
03:14Everything, okay.
03:15What kind of church is this?
03:16¿Cuál iglesia estás aqu�
03:18Epicopal.
03:19Epicopal.
03:19What is the flag in the front?
03:20¿Qué es la bandera en el frente?
03:22¿Cuál?
03:22Es la bandera que representa el LMGT.
03:24Oh, the LGBTQ.
03:25AquĂ puede entrar todo el mundo.
03:27Okay.
03:27AquĂ lo que hay que es
03:28tener fe en Dios
03:29y creer en Dios.
03:30No tenemos ninguna discriminaciĂłn con nadie.
03:32So he said
03:32there's no discrimination
03:33if you have faith in Jesus.
03:34That's all that matters
03:35and it doesn't matter.
03:36ÂżTĂş piensas que
03:37los gente que es gay
03:38que está en LGBT
03:40ÂżTĂş piensas que ese es un pecado de Dios?
03:42No.
03:43Dios nos creĂł a la forma
03:44y nos manda a tener pecado de por sĂ.
03:46Él es el que nos perdona.
03:47I don't understand
03:48the logic of saying
03:49hey
03:50it's not a sin
03:51because God loves us.
03:53Like yeah
03:53God loves the person
03:53who's addicted to alcohol
03:54drugs, pornography.
03:56God loves the person
03:57who is angry at his neighbor
03:59who actually commits murder.
04:01God loves the fornicator.
04:03God loves everyone.
04:05Those are still sins
04:07and he loved you so much
04:08that he did
04:09die on the cross
04:11to forgive us
04:12for those sins.
04:12But he also calls us
04:13to a repentant lifestyle.
04:15He calls us
04:15to change our mind
04:16and to turn away
04:17from these things
04:18that are sins
04:18to start living more like him.
04:20The Bible is filled
04:22with instructions
04:23on how to walk
04:24and live a Christian life.
04:25Most of the New Testament
04:27is letters
04:28written to Christians
04:29who aren't living
04:30how they should be living
04:31and instructing them
04:32to how they should be living.
04:34That's the reason
04:34we have most of the New Testament.
04:36So it's really hard
04:37for me to understand
04:38how we get this concept
04:39of just because God
04:39is love
04:40and loves everybody
04:41that he loves the sin
04:43or that the sin
04:44isn't sin
04:45because of the love.
04:46It doesn't make sense
04:47to me
04:47and I understand
04:48it is people
04:48like just twisting
04:49the scripture
04:50and the truth about God
04:51in order to continue
04:51on in their sin
04:52and to continue on
04:53in what they enjoy
04:54doing in the flesh.
04:55So I get why they do it
04:56but it's really hard
04:57for me when people
04:58are just honest
04:59with themselves
04:59honest with the scripture
05:00honest with the Lord
05:01and honest with other people
05:02there's no way
05:03you can come to that conclusion.
05:04Like you have to be
05:05lying to yourself
05:06or just blatantly deceived
05:08and you really are
05:08ignorant to the truth.
05:20It's not discrimination
05:21to call out
05:22what is wrong.
05:22Like that's
05:23that's crazy.
05:24That's just like
05:24victim mindset.
05:26Like it's not discrimination
05:27to hold other believers
05:29accountable.
05:30We're called to hold
05:30other believers accountable.
05:31Now do we need
05:31to go out to the world
05:33and condemn people
05:34in the world?
05:34No because we can't
05:35hold them to the standard
05:36of scripture
05:37because they don't
05:37believe in God.
05:38They don't follow Jesus.
05:39Now we can tell them
05:41that they're in sin
05:42and to repent
05:42and tell them the truth
05:43about Jesus
05:43how he died for them
05:44and give them the gospel
05:45and try to bring them
05:46into a relationship
05:47with Christ.
05:48That's what we should
05:48be doing to those people
05:49but to people
05:49inside of the church
05:51if your pastor preaches
05:52and they're just
05:54affirming everything
05:54you already believe in
05:55but they're never
05:56challenging you
05:56convicting you
05:57pointing you back
05:58to a true relationship
05:59with Jesus Christ
06:00which will wash you
06:01by his blood
06:02which will change you
06:03from the inside out
06:04then you're not
06:05going to a good church
06:06if we're always
06:07comfortable
06:08then we're never growing
06:10and that's a problem
06:10that is not how
06:11the Christian should live
06:12we shouldn't just
06:13want our ears itched
06:14we should want
06:15to hear the truth
06:15even if it's offensive
06:16even if it hurts
06:17our feelings
06:18that's the only way
06:18to become more Christ-like
06:20because our flesh
06:21has a sin nature
06:22and if we want
06:23to be Christ-like
06:24we have to take off
06:24our flesh
06:25and Christians
06:26just don't want
06:26to do that
06:27people who claim
06:27to be Christians
06:28don't want to do that
06:29and it's hard man
06:30it is hard to live
06:30in a time
06:31where it is so
06:32affirming of this
06:33and I know
06:33biblical times
06:34was crazy
06:35when it comes
06:35to the sexual
06:36perversion
06:36taking place
06:38but it's hard
06:39to see this now
06:39it is very difficult
06:41to see that
06:41this is how people
06:42think and believe
06:43and live
07:08humanity might change
07:10but God never does
07:10and his word never changes
07:12so I don't even
07:13understand
07:18so I don't even
07:24understand
07:34great question
07:54one of the issues
07:58that a lot of people
07:59get into here
08:00is when people
08:01talk about a
08:02repentance
08:02that needs to take place
08:03they assume
08:04they assume we're
08:04talking about
08:04a works-based salvation
08:05which is not the case
08:08repentance happens
08:09when you enter into
08:10a salvific relationship
08:11with Jesus Christ
08:12a true surrendering
08:13to who Christ is
08:14receiving the Holy Spirit
08:15which will then produce
08:16the fruits of the Spirit
08:17within you
08:18that's when repentance happens
08:19it's a decision you make
08:20when you accept Jesus Christ
08:21that you are no longer
08:22going to continue
08:23it's a changing of your mind
08:24you're going to continue
08:24in this in your living
08:25that's the first
08:26repentant decision you make
08:28and then as you walk out
08:29a sanctifying relationship
08:30with Jesus Christ
08:31where you are made
08:32to be more holy
08:33and in the likeness
08:33of Jesus
08:34you are going to
08:35continually need
08:36to repent
08:36from things
08:37that are not of Christ
08:39and so behaviors
08:40will change
08:41habits will change
08:41characteristics will change
08:42and that is repentance
08:44in the Christian walk
08:45and we don't have to do
08:46those things to be saved
08:47Jesus paid the price
08:48on the cross for us
08:49and we are saved
08:50by our faith
08:50in him alone
08:52but a true
08:53salvific relationship
08:54with Jesus Christ
08:55will show works
08:56of repentance
08:57faith without works
08:58is dead
08:58good works
08:59as in how we love
09:00other people
09:00treat other people
09:01but also the works
09:02within us
09:02as we change
09:03to be more like him
09:09so he's saying
09:10in Spanish
09:10that if you have
09:11faith in God
09:11that's all that matters
09:12and you don't have
09:12to repent
09:13and God takes everybody
09:14so look at the church
09:15this is in Miami
09:15and he's saying
09:16that they accept
09:17the LGBTQ community
09:18and they don't have
09:19to change
09:19and that's it
09:20that God will
09:21forgive them of their sins
09:22and they can continue
09:22to remain in their sin
09:23which is
09:24that's not biblical
09:25so again
09:26this becomes
09:27a salvation issue
09:28where it's like
09:29I would question
09:30if you really have
09:30a saving relationship
09:31with Jesus Christ
09:32because you're not changing
09:33now there are people
09:34who meet Jesus
09:35in these churches
09:35I've heard testimonies
09:36but then they end up
09:37leaving these churches
09:38because they realize
09:38okay they're not actually
09:39preaching a real word
09:41they're just affirming
09:41me in my sin
09:42Romans 5 and 6
09:43Paul says it very plainly
09:44that where sin abounds
09:45grace abounds
09:46meaning there's always
09:47the grace of Jesus Christ
09:48to cover your sins
09:48but then he goes on to say
09:49does that mean
09:50we should continue on
09:51in sin?
09:51by no means
09:52so you don't continue
09:53on in the sin
09:54it is a biblical principle
09:55from the word of God
09:56himself
09:56to not continue on
09:58in sin just because
09:58you have received
09:59the grace of Jesus Christ
10:00so it is very
10:02anti-biblical
10:02and it is a work
10:03of the devil
10:04to say hey
10:04I want to keep people
10:05in bondage of sin
10:06even though they
10:07claim Jesus Christ
10:08not of God
10:09this is not a God
10:10this is not a church of God
10:10this is a church of Satan
10:11and that's what I was
10:12explaining to him
10:12it is a church of God
10:15it is a church of God
10:16it is a church of God
10:17and many colors
10:18and well
10:19but the Holy Spirit
10:20the Holy Spirit
10:21the presence of God
10:22I speak with the Holy Spirit
10:23but for you
10:24the Holy Spirit
10:25if I had taken out
10:26if I had taken out
10:26I would say
10:26I would say
10:26but no
10:28I am a man of God
10:29but what are you
10:30Catholic or
10:32non-denominational
10:33relation
10:33with Jesus Christ
10:35the Bible
10:35doesn't say that
10:36I am going to pray
10:36I am going to pray
10:42my brother
10:43I am going to pray
10:43for 5 seconds
10:44a prayer
10:45I pray in the name of Jesus
10:47that the Father would come
10:48and His Spirit would enter this church
10:49that people would repent
10:50I pray that Lord
10:50if there is no repentance
10:51that your judgment
10:52would fall your wrath
10:52and indignation on this church
10:53and that people would be scattered
10:55and that they would go
10:56to find the true truth
10:56which is Father you
10:57the Bible says that
10:58when the hireling is working
10:59when the wolf comes
11:00he leaves the sheep
11:01so Father I know that
11:02sometimes the sheep
11:02have to get scattered
11:03so you can bring them
11:04to the right place
11:04and save them for real
11:05so I pray that people
11:05would not remain in their sins
11:06they would repent
11:07and I pray this brother
11:07in the Bible too
11:08in Jesus name
11:08Amen
11:09if you go to the
11:10people who are
11:11they tell you something
11:11if you go to the other
11:12you all interpret the truth
11:13and you are interpreting
11:15the truth
11:15I don't have to
11:16but it's a change
11:17no there's grace
11:18how did he say grace?
11:22ok alright
11:23hey
11:24as you guys can see
11:25he thinks that
11:25if you believe in Jesus
11:26you don't have to believe
11:26in the devil
11:27he thinks that
11:27God accepts everybody
11:28that you don't have to change
11:29this is a LGBT
11:30Q confirming church
11:31in the heart of Miami
11:32this is an altar of Satan
11:33this is not an altar of God
11:34again like I gave
11:35you guys in the video
11:36before the Lord told me
11:37that his wrath and indignation
11:39is coming
11:39and it's going to be
11:40through his people
11:40that God through his sons
11:41and daughters
11:41that he's going to bring judgment
11:42so in the name of Jesus Christ
11:43Father we just pray
11:44that you would bring judgment
11:45on this church Lord
11:46that there would be repentance
11:47and again if there's no repentance
11:49from leadership
11:49all the way down
11:50to the flock
11:50that you would
11:51Father God
11:51that they would be broken up
11:52scattered
11:53like you do in the word of God
11:54like you did since the Old
11:55to the New Testament
11:55and that they would be brought
11:56to the true church of God
11:57where the Holy Spirit is
11:58in Jesus name
11:58Amen
11:59This video reminded me
12:00of scripture
12:01where Paul is writing
12:02to the Corinthians
12:03about a gentleman
12:04who is sleeping
12:05with his stepmother
12:06and instead of rebuking him
12:08the church is allowing it to happen
12:10and Paul says here
12:12for I on my part
12:13though absent in body
12:14but present in spirit
12:15have already judged him
12:16who has committed this sin
12:18for those of you
12:19say you can't judge people
12:20in the body of Christ
12:21you can
12:22as though I were present
12:23in the name of our Lord Jesus
12:25when you are assembled
12:26and I with you in spirit
12:28with the power
12:29of our Lord Jesus
12:30I have decided
12:31to deliver such a one
12:32to Satan
12:32for the destruction
12:34of his flesh
12:34so that his spirit
12:35may be saved
12:36in the day
12:37of the Lord Jesus
12:38so there's a point
12:39where the sin
12:40in the church
12:42is so bad
12:43where it's better
12:45to be delivered
12:45into the hands of Satan
12:47than to continue on
12:48in what you're doing
12:49and we actually see evidence
12:50in 2 Corinthians
12:51where this specific gentleman
12:53comes back into the church
12:54and has repented
12:54so this can work
12:56it can work
12:57and clearly this is scripture
12:58this is what Paul decided
12:59to do for this individual
13:00because he was so out of pocket
13:02and so when we have
13:03entire churches
13:04that are like
13:04hey you can be doing
13:05whatever you want to do
13:06it's like actually
13:07maybe it's better
13:08that they just be delivered
13:09to the devil
13:10they have the destruction
13:11of the flesh
13:12they literally
13:13have to go through
13:14suffering
13:15in a way
13:16that causes them
13:16to repent
13:17sometimes it is better
13:18for people
13:19to hit rock bottom
13:20sometimes it's just better
13:22but wow
13:23this video we just watched
13:24is only a year old
13:25this is still going on today
13:26this is very prevalent
13:28unfortunately
13:28so pray for these churches
13:30pray that they would repent
13:31that they would turn to Christ
13:32or that they would
13:32experience his wrath
13:34and that would cause them
13:35to repent
13:35and turn to Christ
