    ABOUT BECKET:
    Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
    School of Dallas.
    After graduating from Austin College in Texas, Becket moved to Los Angeles to pursue his
    dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually went on to become a
    production designer working with the top photographers and directors in the world on fashion
    shoots for magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and for ad campaigns such as Gap,
    L'Oréal Paris, and Nike.

    Finding a new sense of freedom in L.A., Becket also fully engaged in his new life as a gay man.
    He had a series of many relationships with men throughout the next fifteen years.
    In September of 2009, Becket met a stranger at a coffee shop in Silver Lake who invited him to
    his church in Hollywood called Reality L.A. Becket reluctantly agreed to attend the service.
    After hearing the sermon that Sunday, Becket was utterly transformed by the gospel and gave his
    life to Christ. He also knew on that day when God revealed Himself to him that homosexuality
    was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket was more than happy to count
    everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.
    Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences
    helping believers (and non-believers) understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally,
    and personally. Balancing grace and truth when teaching on this subject is of primary
    importance. His goal is to challenge the current cultural narrative about sexuality in general and
    homosexuality in particular by demonstrating through his personal testimony and biblical truths
    that, yes, homosexuality is still a sin, and that following Christ is infinitely more satisfying and
    joyous.
    He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.
    Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of
    Arts in Theology.
    Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a
    foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.

      Hi Becket, I've recently found your channel. My introduction was the Yoga video with Rae. Excellent 👍
      Listening to this one I have to Ask, where are you getting your views of Elohim and Yahweh? Elohim is just the Hebrew word for the title "God." It's not a name for God, or the name for another spiritual being. It's Yahweh's title. Yahweh, or to use the same translation method that gives us the name Jesus, "Jehovah," is the divine name. It's our heavenly Father's name, the name of God Almighty. I'm hearing a little confusion on this point.

      So appreciate your dedication to God's Word, growing in His knowledge and grace and love for the Truth. My own son and his wife are prodigals, celebrating two men "marrying" in sin. They reject the Lord and all Believers in my family. But your Mom's prayer letter inspired me and gives me hope. I have a granddaughter I may never see unless the Lord changes their hard hearts and they repent. Stay the course, I love you as a spiritual son in Jesus, although I would fall far short of your biological mom (who sounds like an angel)! Hugs, blessings!

However, because of what I know the Lord has done for me, I would be foolish to turn my back on the love, mercy and grace of Jesus Christ and what He did at the cross of Calvary. I’m totally blind for 14 years now and I’m in a place in which it is difficult to live the way I used to. Many of the friends fell away and I surround myself with my family and church family. For the past few years, I have been living with my big brother and my father after the death of my mother. I was in a state of depression in living on my own when she left and I had to Pray way out of the situation. Thank God for my family that they brought me here to Jacksonville. I’m planning on moving into my own place soon and I will continue to cling to the Lord Jesus Christ for strength and understanding. Thank you for the question and you stay strong in the Lord, Brett.

    So happy to hear that so many gay people are coming to Jesus . My marriage was destroyed when my husband told me he was gay. He left me and our daughters to go and lived a crazy gay life. I watched him with sadness how little by little he was getting ripped off of everything he had. He had a career that he lost, a family, finances, he was a pastor, so he lost his reputation, he lost his health, last year he died at age 63, a man that was so healthy died on an hospital bed, just skin and bones. The only man I have ever been, he used to be the love of my life, now my eternal love is my Lord and Savior. He restored my life and gave me a new song. Believe in Jesus, he will never let you down. God bless you all. 🙏😌🙏

      My now ex husband did the same thing. At one point he said he was a follower of Christ now he is heavy into a promiscuous gay/bi sexual lifestyle. He abandoned me, our marriage, and our three kids. He just recently requested parental termination to not have to pay child support. I agreed for the protection of my children, he is not safe and was emotionally abusive for many years. It is very sad and I grieved the loss of what should have been but I was never going to have peace with him and so I was ready to let him go. He’s gone his own way and all we can do is pray for Gods mercy on his soul.

When she & her husband were young he desired greatly to marry her, but her father disliked him for some reason, & refused to consent. The man, whose nickname was 'Bud', sobbed in disappointment. Her father changed his mind, & they were wed. Their union produced a daughter & a son. Decades went by, & the children grew up. This couple who claimed~ >> both

    I had a very close brush with homosexually, only progressing as far as pornography, curiousity, and masturbation and everything that it entails... But never became truly attracted to other males. I became a Christian before progressing further. I think unfortunately too few Christians speak about these topics for fear of shame and ridicule (especially in this climate).

    I have to share a little story. We used to have a coffeehouse in the gay neighborhood of San Diego and we lived near there as well. When our little niece was about 5 years old, she came and had a sleepover with us. The next day, in the car on the way to the beach, we drove past a restaurant with a huge gay flag flying over it. Our niece noticed it and piped up from the back seat, all excited, in her little speech-class voice, "Look at dat fwag, Tee Tee! Isn't the wainbow God's pwomise never to fwood da earf again wif wain?" (Sorry. That's exactly how she sounded, lol.)
    But her sheer innocence and joy at the sight of a "rainbow"! A total heartcrack moment.

Christ set me free and helped me understand that I was living in my issues that were causing me trauma mixing my past with my present. It seemed to all like a perfect wonderful lifestyle to everyone but it was scary, broken and deep sadness I was trapped in along with all those around me worshiping sexual sins and the flesh as their God.

    My darling uncle Ken was gay, but more the dignified "old school" gay, as were his friends.
    One night in 2019, on the last night of his life, while he lay so weak in his bed in the care home, he laid himself in Jesus' hands, accepting His love and saving death, taking Him at His word.
    It was a precious time that I had with him, just him and me, and Jesus.
    One thing that made me privately angry and deeply sad about the gay community was the amount of Narcissists that gay men seem to attract: the gold-digger types who circle like sharks, looking for some vulnerability to exploit.
    There seemed to be little love or real connection.
    One of my gay male nursing colleagues used to tell me about his life, most often when we worked nights together, & it seemed to me a shallow life where you had to use others & let them use you to be part of the culture.
    It was a highly promiscuous lifestyle, & I found that sleaze and shallowness hard enough to bear in straight culture.
    I always felt concerned about my colleague, in case someone beat him up when he was out, or if he caught HIV. I cared about him.

    I remember those years at the beginning of AIDS. I worked in the ICU and the ER. We never wore gloves or any kind of protection for anyone before this unless they had an infection. At this point, we did not wear them with patients with AIDS even when handling fluids, because we did not know that could do anything. We were often covered with bodily fluids. Even though these men were on 100% oxygen and a ventilator, we could not get enough oxygen in them to be near normal. They were completely conscious and were mouthing HELP ME and were wild-eyed, grabbing at me, not in an aggressive way, but like they were falling off a cliff and were grabbing at me to hold them on the cliff instead of falling into the abyss. It was the saddest, scariest, helpless, and helpless feeling I ever had. I wrote helpless twice on purpose. I am sure they felt worse. I wanted so badly to do something to help each person. I would work extra shifts and cry and pray when I was not there. It was so hard to be with them because there was such a feeling of fright and urgency coming from them. We could do NOTHING to help these people and wanted desperately to do so. I held hands with them instead of taking a break or a meal at all. Once the doctors started to figure it out, we wore gloves to take blood, but that was the only difference for us. In spite of all the fluids that got on almost all of me, I never contracted it. I am so relieved there are things to help now, but when you said death, it was death. I will never forget it and hope it never happens to another person, ever. As bad as I felt, I know they felt a million times worse. I still pray for these people. I believe you can send prayers back into time to make things better than they were.

Where is the compassion when you categorize others into positions that only feed your Ego, as better-than or "more christyly" than those you place your judgment onto? Narcissism is truly rampant; pandemic levels really.

      The description of homosexuality as a lifestyle is a blatent oversimplification of human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. Such indoctrination of the collective societal psyche is paramount to the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle" is because there is no need to catogorize heterosexuality with such descriptively inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison.

I could never understand how ancient people, who might have been smarter than us being closer to Adam, would perform all sorts of barbaric rituals and sacrifice their children and get nothing out of it. Didn't make sense. Dr Heiser's work made the Bible go from 2D to 3D for me. Now everything that I studied made so much more sense. Understanding that there were rebellious gods granting favors for ancient people's faithfulness made a black and white book go to full color for me.

      My heart goes out to you. Remember that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction for things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Have faith and declare God‘s promises over your household. You may not see it yet the natural but God is working in the spiritual first. Every problem you have is an opportunity to grow in intimacy with Christ. God will use the deceit your daughter is believing to expose the fraudulence of the enemy to many in her vicinity.
      Regardless, watching your baby make bad choices is soo difficult, but know that God works all things out for your good. He loves your daughter even more than you do. God is desiring to to do something in your household that is powerful and precious to Him. I declare no weapon formed against you or your household shall prosper and I declare salvation and truth over your daughter in Jesus’s mighty name! God bless you💗

I guess the entire month of June just was not enough. There are parties and festivities going on all over the downtown area.

I had many gays in my classes, that I'm sorry to say were justified by the brilliant entities that fed me their garbage. Thank God for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who caused me to see the true light of God. Just one suggestion: keep praying for people. The demonic realm upon which you now focus your prayers is lost. Those fallen made their choice long ago. Humans still have the ability to hear and respond to God. Our prayers are what help lead them to Christ, and we need to direct those prayers directly into the darkness that permeates them, where they live. Jesus took me to outer darkness, a hell beyond comprehension. There were so many souls trapped in that horror, it was more than I could bear.

      There is only one truth from God and the rest is all lies that are being fabricated by the many who are lost and deceived. This is why you had better be very sure of what you are believing since there are millions of preachers who are leading many souls astray with their misguided interpretations of scripture. The vast majority of believers are so deceived in fact that many are foolishly believing that scripture is relating that they can never stop sinning. They clearly have no idea that God commanded us to live a holy and righteous life which can only be achieved by no longer sinning. Since we are all born in sin and in ignorance of God’s word and truth this is the reason why Jesus came into this world. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and He came to teach us how to stop sinning through His Holy Spirit.
      Jesus did not come to forgive our past, present and future sins as many who are deceived desire to believe and there are no such scriptures that even back up that nonsense. This spoken untruth is having people believe that they can continue to sin and then simply repent and God will just forgive them over and over. This twisted reasoning would mean that you can steal and then repent, you can lie and then repent, you can murder and simply repent. You can keep committing whatever sin you desire and just repent afterwards and you will always be forgiven. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance which meant for them to no longer sin.
      So to try and justify why they still sin many deceived believers will twist the meaning of scriptures like 1 John 1:8-1O or Romans 3:10, 3:23 and 7. For some foolish reason these lost souls desire to believe that Paul and the apostles continued to sin and they will often twist the Romans 7 scripture to try and back up their lies. These deceived believers fail to realize that we have all been sinners at one time in our lives and Paul was simply relating how he was a sinner until he was freed by knowing Christ. They clearly overlook how Paul related that he had died to sin and he was no longer a slave to sin in Romans 6.
      Many also love to twist what the I John 1:8-10 is relating in order to justify their sin. This scripture is simply relating that everyone is born a sinner since we are all born in sin and ignorance of truth. It is saying that this is why we need to repent and confess our sins to God so that He will then forgive us. It is also stating that anyone who believes that they have never sinned is then calling God a liar. But nowhere is this scripture ever relating that a believer will always sin as those who follow the devil and his lies desire to believe.
      The Romans 3:10 is relating that none of us are righteous since we are all born in sin and this is why we needed a savior to teach us how to stop sinning. Romans 3:23 is actually stating the same thing since we are all born in sin and we all fall short of the glory of God.
      Many believers who are lost and deceived try to justify their sin by claiming that the apostles were sinners themselves and they will often use the scripture where Peter denied Jesus as their justification. When they do this nonsense they are clearly revealing their complete ignorance of scripture and they prove how they are being guided by a demon spirit and not the Holy Spirit. So did the apostles all sin at some time in their lives? They most definitely did since everyone is born in sin and in ignorance of truth. Now did Peter sin when he denied Christ? He most certainly did but many overlook how this occurred before Peter was sanctified in truth. Next, did Peter sin when Paul corrected him in Galatians 2? No he did not since Peter was following the Old Covenant laws that he was raised under and Paul was simply revealing how their old custom traditions should no longer apply under God’s New Covenant.
      Many who are deceived cannot comprehend what scripture is relating in regards to the apostles. Scripture is relating that the apostles were originally sinners who willingly followed the teachings of Jesus and they allowed Jesus to sanctify their hearts in God’s truth and teach them how to overcome their sins. This is why God then used them as His messengers and He gave them His power to heal. Read John 17:6-19 where Jesus prayed for His disciples sanctification to prove what I relate.
      Another thing that the many deceived believers clearly overlook is how scripture relates that God does not listen to the prayers of sinners. God’s never lies so this alone proves that the apostles could never have performed healing miracles if they were still sinners themselves. Jesus could work healing miracles because He was sinless and so God then answered His prayers. The apostles then reached the place where they overcame their sins as well and so this is why God then answered their healing prayers.
      “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.”
      ‭‭John‬ ‭9:31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
      “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
      ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
      Scripture relates that anyone who is born of God does not sin and because they can no longer sin this is why they can no longer get sick since sickness only comes from sin and the devil. So if you can still sin and you can still get sick then that certainly proves that you are not BORN AGAIN. This is why many believers who live in sin and sickness will try and justify their afflictions by twisting scripture verses like claiming that Paul’s thorn in the flesh was a sickness. Many deceived souls desire to believe that Paul possessed a sickness so allow me to explain what Paul was relating in the 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 scripture. First, what does a thorn in the flesh do? Well it causes pain and suffering. So just as Jesus suffered in the wilderness by being tempted by Satan Jesus then allowed a messenger of Satan to tempt Paul in order to make him stronger in the Holy Spirit.
      “And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
      ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
      If Paul was able to remove the sickness from everyone who came to him then what could possibly make anyone believe that he was someone who had sickness in his own life? Couldn’t Paul just remove the sickness from himself as he did with those who came to him for healing? Plus if Paul was bitten by a venomous snake and yet it did him no harm how could anyone possibly believe that Paul was someone who could then get sick himself?
      “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
      ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:4-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
      So scripture clearly states that whoever sins does not know God and whoever sins is of the devil. Scripture also clearly relates that whoever abides in God and is born of God cannot sin and does not sin. So anyone who sins or anyone who believes that they can never stop sinning is simply a deceived believer who cannot comprehend what scripture is relating since they are blinded to truth. They are being influenced by the lies of a demon spirit and they certainly are not being guided by the Holy Spirit. There is no sin and sickness with God and there is no sin and sickness for the true children of God. So if you are someone who can still get sick then that alone proves that you have not overcome sin. You are clearly deceived and you certainly do not understand the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind.
      Lastly, many do not realize that they are condemning their souls since they are willingly posting their misguided beliefs in regards to scripture here on the Internet. They have no idea that they will never be forgiven for the lies and the nonsense that they are relating since they are now someone who is blaspheming the Spirit of truth. Realize that God did not instruct us or command us to explain scripture to anyone but yet most are foolishly believing that it is their duty to try and lead others to Jesus. These deceived believers do not understand that the Great Commission was for God’s chosen disciples who were trained by Jesus and who were sanctified in God’s truth. So if you have never been sanctified in truth and you have never overcome your sins then you certainly should not be offering scriptural advice or comments to anyone.
      “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!”

GOD is holy and HIS character is such that HE can not be in the presence of sin=breaking the LAW of GOD, rebellion against GOD. It is our choice to acknowledge that we are sinners, separated from GOD, believe that JESUS died in our place, literally paid our fine, so that if we accept HIS free gift, we can be FREE from sin and be in relationship with GOD. I agree with GOD'S WORD=the Bible which you shared. However, I disagree when you begin to interpret the Scriptures to mean that once we repent (turn from) our sin and believe and accept JESUS' death and resurrection for us, we will never sin or be sick here on earth. No, we do not have licence to go on sinning, but as we learn more about GOD by reading the Bible, we will still have to fight temptations to sin and sometimes fall back to our old, sinful human ways for which we are to repent. And while living in this sin-filled world, our physical bodies age and are affected by sickness. It's our spirits that are FREE from sin and its effects, not our physical bodies.

      @@sonjaszaukellis6119 you certainly are one of the many who are lost and deceived and you clearly have no idea what scripture is relating. You are simply twisting scripture to try and justify why your wicked soul still sins.
      Scripture clearly relates that anyone who still sins does not know God and they belong to the devil and there is not even one scripture that ever relates that a sinner can belong to God or that a sinner is a Christian or that a sinner is a child of God. So your lost and deceived soul certainly is not comprehending what scripture is relating.
      “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you.

      ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:6-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
      Anyone who is now born of God does not and cannot sin and we definitely know that this does not apply to you. Realize that if you were truly living by the Holy Spirit then it would be impossible for you to sin since you would now be guided by the Spirit of God who is Holy and pure and who cannot sin. Since you can no longer sin then it would be impossible for you to ever get sick since scripture clearly relates that sickness only comes from sin and the devil. So there is no doubt that you have certainly proven that the only spirit that is guiding your ignorant and sinful life is a demon spirit.
      Scripture is relating how Paul and the other apostles were sinners who allowed Jesus to sanctify their hearts in God’s truth and teach them how to overcome their sins. Jesus did this in the flesh with His 12 original disciples and He did it through His Holy Spirit with Paul. Clearly you overlooked that Jesus is alive and He now does the same exact thing with anyone who truly surrenders their will through the guidance of His Holy Spirit. This is the whole reason why we need His Holy Spirit. Sanctification is not a life long process as some believe since the apostles became sanctified in truth through the teachings of Jesus and all you need to do is read John 17:6-19 to prove as much. This is why Jesus then used them as His messengers since they were now sanctified in God’s truth and they had overcome their sins.
      So you certainly have no idea what scripture is even relating and are nothing more then a deceived soul who is trying to justify why they still live in sin.

The Holy Spirit convinces us of sin and can be grieved lest we harden ourselves against him. By no means are we to continue in sin, but by the measure that you judge those who are just babes in their sanctification, you too will be judged.

    Between the ages of 20 - 23 I hung out exclusively with my gay best friend. I was disillusioned by 'Christendom' and 'straight' men, so thought the alternative would be 'safer' for me at the time. I was naive.
    That world is heartbreakingly dark. It kills me that I was running away from God at that time. I had an opportunity then that I haven't had since.
    I was also really hurt by people I met then because I was 'straight'. I didn't see that coming. I still really love every person I met during that time & pray God will meet them & save them somehow.

    I was delivered from this lifestyle a few years ago. Lived it most of my life, now 55 and I don’t look back. I always believed in God and “thought” I was serving him, or thought I “was just human” living my life. Didn’t necessarily see loving someone of the same sex a bad thing. My relationship with Jesus has led me down a path that has taken away the desires of this lifestyle. My purpose now is to serve him, and focus on my life as a Christ follower. I know he loves all of his children, and asks the same of us. I never understood the “pride” part of the lifestyle, I never thought of myself as “proud” of my sexual preference. I wasn’t necessarily ashamed, but I wasn’t proud either, it’s just who I was. I thank God everyday for my deliverance and just want to life a life that serves Jesus our Lord. He has been so good to me, throughout my life. I wasn’t aware of the spirit world until this last year or so. I know now that the Bible speaks of them, and they are in fact real. I thank the Holy Spirit for giving me the passion to seek the truth and be in the never ending journey of following my lord and his word. God bless you sir and all of your followers. Jesus is coming back for us soon, and will take us from this evil world. God bless you all...Jesus loves you all❤️🙏🎚

One evening they had gone to a dance together and he was giving her a ride back to her dorm. While in the car she was witnessing to him and trying to persuade him to change his ways, for a while the young man tried to justify his behavior, then a change started happening to his demeanor and physical appearance, as she tried once again to talk to him , she heard a clear voice telling her " Stop talking to him, you are in danger, once you arrive to the dorm, step out of the car, thank him for the ride, go quickly inside and do not look back".
    She obeyed immediately and God opened her eyes and was able to see for a brief moment the evil lurking inside the young man. She cut all connections to him the next day.

One technique is to use a parallel to great events of history and iconic events to blur lines on cultural perspective.

    When I was young and steeped in heterosexual sin I watched "Animal House". I was repulsed by the crudeness. That movie was actually part of my long road to conversion to Christianity.

      Evil puts a lot of stuff out there that God turns upside down and uses for His good.

      I used to think all these movies were just harmless fun and people just had problems being uptight. Little little did I know

      @Stanley Draper That's like saying sex education is not about sex. It's about education.

      Beckett,
      I really appreciate you and am encouraged by your changed life and walk with the Lord.
      There is no doubt, the bible clearly teaches, that there is an unseen realm and an unseen war in the heavenly places that manifests itself in things in the visible realm.
      I’d just add regarding Heiser’s book, take what he says with a grain of salt. Don’t allow the unseen powers to undermine in any way your confidence in the inspiration and authority of the bible. Genesis is God’s Devine word, ‘Ancient Near East’ texts and traditions are not.
