It's great to be apart of a Christian and truly Biblical Christian forum. My husband and I are grateful!
We are curious would you include your lost and gay sons partner in family gatherings? I believe I know what the answer is. However, am seeking wise conservative and Biblical counsel. No non Biblical or worldly view answers please.

Dear Sister & Brother,
I am sure you'll be sharing this with your husband as well :)
Not an easy question to say the least. For me it would be no different with any of my children who come to visit with those they are not married to. Happened with my daughter who is now married, and they respected out desires. Slept in different rooms, and kept the hands off each other. How much different if they would have been gay? To be honest probably to some degree. I could not help but scrutinize them even more closely for any act on their part that would have me say something then I would if they were a heterosexual couple. Could they abide by our request to not be amorous? I would have hated to ask them to leave, but I would have done so, being that they had not respected our request which upon accepting the conditions they said they would abide by.

Nothing of this speaks that I will not continue to love my child or their partner, and I would ensure they understood this beforehand. Not that they would understand, or probably accept it, but being honest and loving in your communications with them is the best way, even if they reject them.

I found this article from Focus on the Family. I hope it will help.


With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Ty so much for responding. I have seen that article. We have included his partner some. However, it is our conviction to not include his partner at this time. The family consists of a bride , her groom, grand father, grandmother, children. They are living together as a husband and wife. When we have done things with them, it is very convicting that we are normalizing their relationship. Doing family things, being a family. So we are taking a break and truly seeking God on this. Ty so much for taking the time to tell us what you would do. I agree the love of Christ must be saturated but the law of God cannot be dismissed as well. My whole heart just wants to spring forward and just love them both, have fun, be a family. But my love for His Word and His holy Spirot pauses us to look deeper into what He would desire. Ty again!! Merry Christmas to you amd your family!!

Greetings,

May I ask, when you refer to family, who that consists of?
Not too many details, though!


Bless you and yours ....><>
 
The family unit as God created, from generation to generation. Male and female, He created them.
Grandmother, grandfather, Mom, Dad, children and then they are fruitful and multiply according to His providential hand.

Greetings,

I do not understand?
Perhaps I erred by not making myself understood?

My question was/is who is the family gathering. And while here, are all Christian?


Bless you ....><>
 
I'm sorry My husband, myself, my lost and asd son/ 10 years old, 2 Christian daughters, and my lost son and his partner.
 
Greetings Sister,

Let's start with prayer.

I shall get back to you

Jesus is the Lord


Bless you ....><>

We seek to always be praying without ceasing. My daughter are 23, 24 and my oldest son who is gay and agnostic is 26. My 10 yr old son is aware that his older brother lives and loves another man and that this is a sin.
 
Greetings in the Lord
We are all sinners saved by Grace.
However it requires commitment and sacrifices.
It doesn't mean I can continue in the same ole sinner me.
I laid me down at the cross, leaving sin hang right there, dying with Him, and rising up with Him in His resurrection from the dead, being reborn a new creation in Him, by Him, for Him.

Yes a gay man or woman can be saved, but they must leave their sins on the cross, and become new, for the old is past away. He ask the same of us all, no1 is special, we all enter through one door being Christ.

Right now, they are an abomination to God.

God first always.
All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

Greetings,

The LORD is good.

We wrestle not with/against flesh and blood.
Repeat...
We wrestle not with/against flesh and blood.

You asked for Biblical and not worldly advice.

Forgive me please if I stray.

You mentioned that you would like family (only?). You being you and your husband.
Your husband is the head of yourself and together you are the parents. It is your house and home.
Please include your husband by reading this to him or allowing him to read it himself.
It is his decision that must be honored. He is answerable to Christ. Support him in that as a godly wife. You will be blessed.

I know not how your household works. However, remember that if you (the two of you, as believers) , do not live according to the instruction of the Bible, you have open doors and little right to expect any blessing upon your family.

While saying that, He is faithful Who has called you and if you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you, to present you to Himself, not you present yourselves, but Him presenting you unto Himself, peculiar and perfect. Trust Him, in faith and honesty.

Confession. Do you have iniquity you need to confess? No point worrying about son if so.

Stop labeling your son as 'gay'. Deceived but not gay.

Remember also to ask for wisdom. Our Father will not withhold from you, man. Remember also the wisdom from above is first pure, gentle and easily entreated. Wait upon the Lord.

This is family time. A homosexual relationship is not family. I think you both know that.

If you will welcome the other man to your house, do so in love and to share God's grace in His Son.
But not now.
You have chosen family and you are 'entitled' to do so. Unless you have unction from the Lord.

Preach to your son by the way you love him. If the Lord give you words, speak them. However, remember that your son(s) know your faith.
They have seen and will see if the love you live is the charity love or the worldly.

Ask our Father, and trust Him, to open doors of conversation, meaning the lad starts it and you partake, concerning Biblical matters.

The LORD is faithful.

Now, before you do anything, give thanks to God. Put Him first in your heart and mind and strength by giving thanks. That eliminates all emnity and all your canal mindset that wars against the Spirit. Giving thanks is vital. Repeat, giving thanks is vital. Do not proceed without.

Jesus is the Lord.

Let Him do His work in you all. You be faithful to Him.

We have not been given a spirit of timidity and fear but of love, power and sound mind. Give thanks.


May you have and know the peace of God in Christ Jesus, that passes all understanding. Let Him fill you to abundance.

Grace and Peace


Bless you ....><>
 
Ty so much for taking the time to give su h Godly insight and in His love. We value it as a beautiful gift and will reflect upon it this Christmas time! Merry Christmas and God bless
 
Hi,



God gave me the great blessing to hear from Him often, and to speak with Him and with Jesus often.

I felt for you, and your difficult situation, I asked God our Father, he said:

He is dead, (about your son)

I wondered if you should not spend time together, Father said:

They do not share life

I wondered if you should not forgive him, Father said:

Forgive him for walking astray, do not forgive darkness

I asked Father, does this apply: Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”


Yes, let him make his choice, if he chooses darkness and death, do not go there with him, offer light, that he can come back to light, do not offer to walk into darkness.

Father do you mean they shall not offer or pretend to approve of darkness, and therefor become disobedient to you, and leave the way, that Jesus is?

Father said: They may show light, they may show love, they are to be the light. But they may not approve of darkness

What is the name of your father?
 
Ty for ur God seeking heart on our behalf! Praise Jesus for this! We are standing by our conviction to not to follow our son into including his partner. He has chosen to not include us now.
We have a peace though that passeth all understanding! God's sweet peace. We will continue to offer and show His light and pray for our son and his partner to be saved.
Sadly he has chosen death and darkness! We do have moments of sadness and greive our loss and his lost state. But we will not stay in despair, for His Word, Spirit and truth will guard and guide our steps. Please pray for our son Sam to be saved.
The Lord bless you and your family and keep you in His Word and living for His glory!
God the father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!!
