I Was Super Gay For 30 Years But Jesus Christ Changed Me by Bendy: 6:11pm On Jan 16 |
Hollywood darling and Production Designer Becket Cook was at the height of living a successful Hollywood lifestyle when he traded his gay lifestyle for a fulfilling new identity in Jesus Christ. Sharing his incredible encounter with Jesus Christ, Cook admitted, “Some people might say that I’m just suppressing who I really am, but they don’t get it because, you know, I lived that life for a really long time and I marched in gay pride parades. I marched in gay marriage equality parades. I was super gay. I tried that for 30 years. This is actually, really who I am now.” “I thought the whole purpose of my life and meaning of my life was finding true love in another human being – in a guy – and finding and success in my career.” “So at a very young age, I knew that I was attracted to the same sex. I had to keep it to myself. I dated, you know, girls. In elementary school, I went steady with girls. In high school I dated girls. But it was all a façade.” “After college. I ended up moving to LA to pursue acting and writing and kind of a creative – more of a creative field. I just came out to everyone. That’s when I fully embraced homosexuality as my identity.” “After each relationship with a guy, and after it would end, I had total amnesia that it – how it all ended. And I would think, oh, the next guy is going to be perfect and the next guy is going to be amazing. And of course like two years later, it’s over, you know. There’s cheating, infidelity, and it’s over.” “At this point in my life, I was very successful in my career as a set designer, production designer. I mean, I was doing covers for Vogue and for Harper’s Bazaar. I worked with a lot of pop stars like Katy Perry and Paris Hilton and Oprah. Like, everyone you can imagine – I worked with them. And I also started my own men’s fashion line that was successful. Our clothes were in, you know, L.A., New York, Paris. “I went to all the shows. I went to all the after-parties. I was at this one after-party in Paris, and I remember, just everyone was there from the fashion world, and I was kind of looking out over the crowd, it just struck me so profoundly. I was like, is that all there is to life? Just going to parties for the rest of my life, is this what it’s all about? And I really started to panic that night. I was overwhelmed with a sense of emptiness.” “I got back to LA and got busy with work for about six months. I was at a coffee shop in Silver Lake with my best friend. And he was gay too. And we noticed, shockingly, that there was a table next to us with Bibles on the table. This was the first time I’d seen a Bible in public in Los Angeles ever. And by that point in my life, I was – I was a practical atheist.” “Finally I just turned around and I said, ‘Are you guys Christians?’ And they just – they laid it out for me. They told me what they believe. They told me the gospel. ‘So what does your church in Hollywood believe about homosexuality?’ And they were just like, ‘Well, you know, we believe it’s a sin.’ And what’s interesting about that is, number one, I appreciated how kind of frank they were and honest.” “They invited me to church the following Sunday. And I-I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m going to go to your church, but I’ll think about it.’ And then the following Sunday, I wake up and I’m like, ‘I guess I’m just going to go to this church today.'” “The pastor comes out and he starts preaching on Romans chapter seven and something strange started happening. Everything he was saying, every word he was saying, every sentence he was saying started to resonate this truth in my mind, in my heart, and I didn’t know why. I was on the edge of my seat, literally on the edge of my seat.” “It was the first time I had really heard the gospel and understood it… And before he left, he invited people to get prayed with on the side of the church.” “I go up to this guy, a stranger and I say, ‘I don’t know what I believe, but I – but I’m here.’ And he said, ‘Okay, let me pray for you.’ And he laid hands on me and prayed for me. It seemed really intense and long. And I just remember thinking, why does this straight dude love me so much? Because it seems so loving what he was saying and praying.” “And all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit is just like – like floods me, and God has revealed Himself to me in that moment. And He’s like, ‘You’re now adopted into my kingdom. Welcome.’ And I was like, ‘Whoa!’ And I just like started bawling, hysterically balling.” “And I knew, in that moment, I knew into the core of my being that being gay was no longer who I was. But I didn’t care. Like I had just met Jesus Christ.” “My hope is that people will realize how much more amazing it is to deny yourself and follow Christ rather than to just give in to sin now just to satisfy some immediate need.” 1 Like

Thank God for delivering this one from the lies of the world. No human is born in the wrong body. Sexual orientation is not a genetic imprint but a cultivated and nutured anomaly. 2 Likes |

Emusan:A person can only change when he or she is ready and open to change. Jesus Christ does not change people. He never once hinted at wanting to change anyone. Rather, Jesus Christ called on the people to change from following their old ways to following the new way which He taught to them. The idea that Jesus Christ changes individuals comes only from religion and religion is not Jesus Christ. 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie: But Jesus change many people according to the scripture Jesus Christ does not change people. Your Jesus not the The Saviour of the World. He never once hinted at wanting to change anyone. He did, stop lying against Him. The idea that He does comes only from religion and religion is not Jesus Christ. No! It came from God Himself. |

Emusan:Jesus Christ never changed any man. Rather, they each chose to change in order to become of Jesus Christ. Same way they would have changed to accommodate anything else their hearts were enamored by. So, to claim it was Jesus Christ that changed them is not true. Rather, the choice was made by the individuals to change for Jesus Christ. 2. Jesus Christ is the savior of the world which consists of the Lost sheep of Israel. That you believe he lied each time He stated this means you don't even believe Him at all. God doesn't change men. God allows men to choose as they will leaving the decision up to men. So how is God responsible for the change a man decides for himself. Wouldn't this render God's claim of being an impartial judge an outright lie. Religion, as we know, joys in doing just that --- making a liar of God. |
