What Would You Do?

If you agree, would that not be an approval of the life style?


(Same of course about the two heterosexual unmarried ones).

Do you usually have sex when you stay in someone else’s home?

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

He acknowledged that he had sinned.
He did not try to bring the pigs home with him

Wow. That’s dumb. Not even the same scenario.

I agree.

A friend of mine let his lesbian daughter stay at his house for 4 weeks.
Her girlfriend stayed there as well. Sleeping in the same bed.

My friend, being a Christian, didn't like it but he allowed it.

So, my question was not out of place.

I'd talk to your pastor, but if it is open to all... it's open to all.

Personally, if a Father's Day service was open to all, I'd allow my daughter and her significant other to come, even if she were a lesbian. It's my daughter. I might not approve of every decision she makes, and I might voice my disapproval with her in discussions from time to time, but I could never treat her as anything other than my daughter. Besides, you never know what Jesus will begin doing in their lives based on something they see or hear.

In our family, we have a niece who is lesbian. She's an auto mechanic and married to a very polite lady who is a firefighter. I also have an uncle in Florida who is gay. We don't exclude them from any family functions in any way. In fact, we're all pretty close. They know I'm a Christian, but my convictions on the matter only arise in discussions about religion or God. I'm not out to make it a constant issue that will disrupt the harmony of the family and alienate her from me or Jesus. I allow the Holy Spirit to deal with them when we're together. Tara has been filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized in the name of Jesus. But she came out and now attends a liberal Episcopal charismatic church with her spouse.

I just treat gay people like anyone else. They are unsaved and in need of a Savior, just like anyone else who isn't saved. I couldn't think of anyone who needs to come to church more.

If the people we love make life choices that keep them from Heaven, then the opportunities on this earth are the only opportunities we'll ever have to show them how much we love them and pray that they come to Jesus with whatever is going on in their lives.

Family is family. Of course, this is only my opinion and my approach. What works for me, or my family, may not work for another.

Please say a prayer for Tara and Sarah, that God will move in their lives and bring them into His will.

Neither was the dad leaning on the pig fence inviting the son to come visit every now and then.
