Christians/believers? If your parents were a homosexual couple would you still love them and respect them?

And would you still maintain that they were good parents and were able to bring you up well, as obviously evidenced by the virtue of your religiosity?Christians/believers? If your parents were a homosexual couple would you still love them and respect them?
Those who turn 2 %26amp; know the real Jesus Christ would know that its he who turns 2 %26amp; follows Jesus' instructions that r Jesus' true brothers %26amp; sisters. These children would inform %26amp; warn their ';parents'; that they would hv 2 turn 2 Jesus %26amp; end their sinful ways. If not, in a short reasonable amount of time they would hv no choice but 2 end their relationship with their ';parents'; as its an abomination 2 promote, participate in or accept these practices (Rom 1:24-32).





There is no good in any man (Rom 3:23). No1 can live without breaking God's eternal Law = sin that separates us from God. God cant look upon sin (why we need Jesus). God is the 1 who makes the rules %26amp; He created some 4 destruction. The crux of the problem 4 most humans is man (having limited knowledge) tries 2 understand what God is about by imposing human limitations 4 understand things 2 God's abilities. Who knows more about a house, the Builder or those moving in later?





God does nothing without a purpose. The institution of marriage btwn a man %26amp; a woman is what God set up 2 accomplish His purpose. God created Adam %26amp; Eve not Adam %26amp; Steve. More so than other things legitimizing gay behavior makes it appear 2 children (who r very impressionable) that nothing is wrong with being gay themselves. However, gay behavior/marriage is wholly %26amp; without exception an abomination (1 that God wont compromise on as He cant compromise the truth that stands 4ever unchanged (we r not allowed 2 either) %26amp; that cancels out ur salvation if u persist in it - we either imitate Jesus or we imitate animals on 1 level or another - doing so leads 2 a worse fate than animals b/c we can choose 2 turn 2 or reject God's Son).





God can forgive sinners which is why He sent His Son 2 die 4 all our sins. B/c God did this most loving thing 4 us %26amp; Jesus did all God commanded Him 2 do then all must go 2 Jesus 2 b saved from our sins (Jn 14:6; Acts 4:12) - turn our lives over 2 Jesus (no matter how or why we got in2 our sins - we're all sinners). This is b/c only thru Jesus can we b changed 2 whats acceptable 2 God, able 2 reject our unacceptable behavior. We cant change ourselves b/c we dont %26amp; cant know or understand God's purpose 4 creation without Jesus Christ opening our spiritual eyes 2 begin 2 know God %26amp; His purpose 4 everything (Jn 3:3,5; 5:39) - the only escape from our sins - If u remain in sin u cant enter Heaven.





But, no matter how much well-meaning people (religious or not) read the Bible they cant find Jesus Christ without going directly 2 Jesus thru His Biblical instructions (Jn 5:39; 10:1,7; 3:3,5). God outsmarted man - the Bible is the only 1 that cant be properly understood without Jesus (Jn 14:6; II Cor 3:14, Is 29:11-12 - If Jewish people cant pierce the veil over the OT without Jesus then 4 sure all gentiles cant). Thats why theres many interpretations %26amp; many thinking its fairy tales/a delusion (Jesus came bearing the sword of division).





The problem is theres many religions out there along with different varieties/offshoots. 1 day I realized they cant all b right (ie. theres 1 Bible, why so many interpretations? - II Pet 1:**19-21). Most religions came thru people who thought up things 4 a God they %26amp; others liked. Some realized religion could b good 2 control the masses %26amp; 4 other agendas. Religion wont teach you much about God (they cant teach what they dont know).





Religions made many fatal mistakes as they built their religions on what man would like God 2 b like. Many miss this - Jesus is the only 1 in history whom said He's ';the'; way, ';the'; truth %26amp; ';the'; life %26amp; NO 1 can know God except thru Jesus (Jn 14:6 - ref Acts 4:12; Jn 5:39; 10:1,7). This means ';the'; whole truth was complete %26amp; there4 finished thru what Jesus taught %26amp; did or God doesn't know what He's doing %26amp; cant be God. The truth is either fully true or its a lie. The full truth cant contain a lie %26amp; is the absence of any lie.





Either Jesus is the only full truth or theres no actual truth %26amp; there4 no God (God would have 2 know what Jesus was going 2 do). This means Jesus is whom He says He is or He's just another false prophet among many, whom should b disregarded. If He's the actual truth then theres no need 4 any NEW teaching. This means any so-called new teaching %26amp; any other religious beliefs %26amp;/or from self-proclaimed prophets or teachers r invalid, null %26amp; void %26amp; cant lead u 2 our real God. However, God always knew all Jesus was 2 do.





In fact, Jesus couldnt have done nor said what He did unless He fully knew the entire OT (the NT didnt exist @ the time of Jesus - only possible if God sent Him) %26amp; the Apostles couldnt write the NT unless Jesus allowed them 2 remember %26amp; know His purpose (Lk 24:25-27,45). Not possible unless God caused it.





A church thats very serious about finding the Biblical truth, understands what being Born Anew is about, might be able 2 help u but no1 can save u except Jesus (Jn 3:1-14 - note: Nicodemus was very religious but Jesus flatout told him he had missed the 1rst most important step, that he must b Born Anew or no matter how religious or good he thought he is he couldn't go 2 Heaven (Jn 3:3,5; Jn 14:6; Acts 4:12). Again, no1 can live without breaking God's Law = sin %26amp; separates us from God - only those who go thru Jesus can overcome this barrier %26amp; become legitimate children of God (why we must b Born Anew). Then read the whole Book of John b/c it connects 2 the whole Bible (leading 2 understanding other important things in the Bible).





Whoever seeks Jesus Christ, the Son of God, with all his heart %26amp; soul will find our real God %26amp; His Kingdom (u shall know the truth %26amp; it'll set u free). But u can lead a horse 2 water but u cant make them drink. Again, why should God want u 2 live with Him forever if u dont want 2 know Him (reason 4 free will)? The truth of God remains forever unchanged while things of man dies with him, including his religions %26amp; his gods, created in his image.





On 1 hand, God hates us b/c of our sins - neither being a good person as judged by men or religion can save u. On the other hand, God loves us dearly enough 2 send His Son 2 die for our sins - so that thru Jesus our sins could be forgiven if we sincerely turn to Him - Theres everlasting hope only in Jesus Christ %26amp; His Bible.

That one's parent(s) are sinners is inevitable. All of our parents sin. Homosexuality is simply another sin. Homosexuals get out of alignment with the Church when they choose to redefine their life style as not a sin.





One cannot enter the kingdom of heaven lest he or she repents. One cannot repent if one denies an act is sin.





If parents must be without sin to be loved by their children, I'm afraid none of our children will be able to love us, nor will we be able to love our parents.





Grace and peace to all.
Absolutely.





One of my friends actually has two dads, and she's straight, happy, well-liked and her family is awesome. They're Jewish.





There are far, far fewer verses in the Bible condemning homosexuality than there are ones about divorce, and Jesus never once spoke out about gays, but he did say that divorce was wrong. There are many divorced Christian parents, and people don't usually ask their kids if they lack virtue or are unable to love and respect them.





You actually asked a real question. I'm shocked.
Of course.





Keep in mind that if you were born to, or adopted in early childhood by, a gay male couple or a lesbian couple, you would grow up not thinking there was anything wrong with homosexuality. You would grow up loving and respecting them as your PARENTS -- the people who loved you, took care of you, provided you with a loving home, a roof over your head, meals, all your material needs; the people who nursed you when you were sick, attended all of your Little League baseball games or piano recitals or school plays or whatever; the people who took you camping or to Disney World or to the zoo, etc.


They would have proven to you every day of your life that they are good, loving parents who brought you up as best they knew how and wanted only the best for you.





Why on earth would you suddenly stop loving them simply because you choose to become a fundamentalist Christian??





I would suspect that you wouldn't join a fundamentalist church, however, because you would KNOW from personal experience that gay and lesbian people are NOT the perverted sinners that some Christian churches accuse them of being. Why on earth would you choose to join a church that demonizes your PARENTS -- the 2 people you love most -- as unrepentant evil sinners bound for hell??
LOL! I would still love and respect them, I suppose, although I would view their lifestyle as immoral. I really liked the tongue in cheek reference to my virtuous religiosity-- that was clever.





peace
Personally,I would be confused.Just the same,I stand against homosexuals as as same sex marriage.
I am Atheist but even when I was Christian (how embarrassing, I was Christian) I was never prejudiced.
