Parents of LGBTQ children face a difficult choice
Their faith used to I struct them to drive those children from their homes because of their sins
Now, parents are choosing to support their children over their faith regarding homosexuality
False. No one has to give up their faith because of "LOVE". All men sin........"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar; AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US." -- 1 John 1:8-10
Pesonally I would show this family member more love, more patience, more understanding than members of my family that are strong in THE WORD. Demonstrate to them that where love exists, eternal hope also exists.
No Christian would drive anyone from their home because of SIN. There would be no one in the home if everyone was forced out of said home because of sin. Only the ignorant (where the Word of the Lord does not live) would "disavow" a family member because of sin. There is no Sin that can't be overcome, except the unrepentant sin. As sin is equal, all have the same wages........eternal separation from the Father....spiritual death. As long as there is life and "light" there is hope.......when darkness comes (death) there is no hope for the unrepentant sin. Sometimes God uses sin to build hope where all appears to be hopeless.
"Jesus answered; It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but the works of God might be displayed in him; We must work the works of Him who sent sent Me while it is day (light); night is coming where NO MAN can work........" -- John 9:3-4
The wages of sin is death: "For the wages of sin is death -- Romans 6:23, (there is no distinction of sin.....one is not greater than another, -- 1 Cor. 6:9-10, the homosexual faces the same wages for their sin as does the adulterer, the fornicator, the thief....etc., all those who break God's laws, as sin is LAWLESSNESS -- 1 John 3:4
All of "US" sinners have only ONE HOPE.........the cleasning sacrifical blood of Christ that stands as our advocat force -- 1 John 2, separating our sin from the Father. "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." -- John 14:6
Regardless of sexual preference; No one that lives is "worthy" of salvation......we are all saved by GRACE. Its better to "abstain" than burn. Sex is a choice........any type of sex is a free will choice........or you have just been raped. Sex is not required to sustain human life........for shelter, health care, food, etc, these are HUMAN RIGHTS. There is no such RACE of peoples as homosexual people.......homosexuals are found in every race on earth. You can attempt to change the language but you can't change the facts of life. Homosexuality is a "mindset"........a choice. All sex is based upon LUST, not biology.....the human mind is the greatest sexual organ in the body.
Yet........you attempt to take a simple message and declare YOUR HATE for a presentation of "scriptural truth". There is a word for such:
