Sad to say this, but it’s happening everywhere, even in the Christian communities and homes, young adults wanting to be or live the gay lifestyle. This is happening in my brothers in Christ family and even of mine, the devil is working full-time, for his time is short. It’s hard to see a love one take this route, but it’s not your fault. All you can say, I love you, God loves you, He made you a woman or He made you a man, that cannot be changed, enjoy the fame for a short time. You can repent and come back before it’s too late. You can come over as much as you like, but not your partner. We will not except gay marriage. Protect yourself from diseases. When you’re down and under, don’t forget your roots. Will be praying for you.

Morales, many of your "observations" lately are so far off the mark it's crazy. No TRUE Christian can live the gay lifestyle...FACT. The Holy Spirit would be convicting them of this, and God would be chastising them. I don't know where you get your theology, but I know it's pretty messed up if you truly believe what you wrote. I have a cousin who is a lesbian, and she claims to be a Christian. She shows NO SIGN of being saved...has nothing to do with the Bible, church,  or God. I could live in a garage and call myself a car, but this wouldn't make me a car. People can call themselves whatever they like, but, as stated, it doesn't necessarily make it so.

BT, so what you are saying correct me if I’m wrong, that I have a person who excepted Christ as their Savior, have been raised up in a Christian Home, go to a Christian church, have been baptize, then turn gay. They were faking their salvation all this time?

I've never seen anyone do this. I'm not saying it's not possible, as we still are all sinners, just washed in the blood. But, I do know that the Holy Spirit will not let a person live for extended periods of time in sin. He can't. If the Holy Spirit dwells within a person, and they turn to sin, they are grieving the Holy Spirit of God who lives in them, seals their salvation, and who convicts them of sin, righteousness and judgement. (Eph 4:30, John 16:8)

If these alleged "Christians" can live in sin without any chastisement from the Lord, then it's pretty obvious that they are not any of his in the first place. (Hebrews 12:5,6; Proverbs 3:11)

No TRUE Christian would turn "gay" after salvation (implying being openly gay, deliberately living and walking in this sin). Perhaps because of past abuse they may struggle with this sin, but they can not openly become gay and live that way without severe consequences from God. And if they were gay before "being saved" but never repented of their abominable lifestyle, they are not saved.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

I notice you're saying family members "brothers in Christ family and even of mine" and "a love one take this route". Christ died for them too. But neither you or I can say for sure these family members hearts were sincere if they made a profession of faith "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;" Romans 10:10. It doesn't matter if they were baptized, attended church, or other outward acts; only God knows if they are truly saved. All you can do is keep serving God in accord with His word and pray for the family member, as you said, "Will be praying for you".

Thank you, our children are not really ours, all we can do is raise them up the right way, pray and love them.

By their fruits we know them, we can know after a time whether one is saved or not.  It's not a mystery.

Despite the enormous attention and energy my wife and I spent with our oldest daughter, she is living a depraved lifestyle now and also calls herself a Christian.  She's made three professions of faith that I'm aware of over the years and shows no remorse for her actions over the years.  Her name is not in the lamb's book of life.  I pray that she turn from her wicked ways and makes repentance to God and puts her trust in Jesus.  We grieve for the future of our grandson.  It is my prayer that he become a preacher and lead his mother to Christ.

May I ask for the application of this to this particular conversation? Maybe I've overlooked something.

This quote mentioned above comes from these that will say, Lord didn’t I do this, and do that. The good Lord will tell  them, depart from me, for I never knew you.

My second question, what will happen to Christians that except gays marriages. There will be many that will change to not loose their love ones.

When a child of God deliberately compromises with sin or neglecting separation, it does affect their walk with the Lord and their daily fellowship with him.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The implication is that God will not have that closeness of a Father to you if you are compromising with sin and those who are involved in it.

Yes, I have a daughter who isn't a homosexual or LGBTQIA but, she actively supports their community. So she does, "have pleasure in them that do them." Her husband sported a "coexist" bumper sticker and I fear for the future of my granddaughter.

We don't have to accept gay marriages as Christians. They're against the Scriptures which is our final authority in faith and practice. We DO, however, have to accept people, and the fact that they are sinful in nature. We should love everyone as Christ would have, but that  doesn't mean accepting their lifestyles if they violate that final authority. Any "Christian" that accepts and condones sinful lifestyles that violate the Biblical standards needs to be searching to find out if their salvation is real.
