A Situation Question

[godspreciousdove]

We know that Christians are to be against same sex marriage.
But what does a Christian do if they may have a sibling that is gay.

If the gay sibling who will not turn away from this is in trouble one day
what does the Christian sibling do for this other sibling?

If we help the gay sibling is that almost being borderline that you accept this idea?

And how does the Christian sibling not help when it is family?

This is not an easy matter at all. This is very difficult when dealing with friends and family on a certain issue of sin. Number one is how open your family member is to talk about this way they are living. Some are open while others keep this a secret.

If your family member says this is my life my business I don’t prefer to talk about this you probably won’t get much anywhere. In this case all you may be able to do is pray for them.

If you are able to talk to them let them be open about this without rapidly jumping into scriptures to find their sin if you can get them to talk about this. At sometime you can ask them about God. How do they feel or believe in God see what their view is. Share with them about God. How God works in your life. Tell them some of the honest things God would like us to do. As for addressing Gay issues a time will need to arrive somehow how God feels about this way. Explain it kindly. Use a verse like Leviticus 18:22 at some point they need to realize this is a sin that needs to be repented. It is not an unforgivable sin but very difficult for one who has such feelings toward the same sex. Telling to them to resist seems impossible to them. But you got to get them to realize we are all trapped in one sin or another that God is asking us to resist.

The problem is often they will say it is not a sin. Stealing is lying is but same sex is not. Convincing this to be a sin for some will not believe especially in these days where Gays now are given more rights to marry by the law of men. They are also saying it is being a Bigot not to accept this way. This is not an easy task in the least. However at some point they do need to know where God stands on this. Matthew 16:24
[ Take Up the Cross and Follow Him ] Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
There is no promise in success. It depends if this person really wants to know and listen to God. If this person does not believe what you say all then you can do is pray. Forcing does not work but bringing them to the Light of the truth gives them a decision to make. If everyone encourages them to do this wrong they will never hear or know the Truth. This is why it is important to share the Gospel of the Good News of Eternal Life. This is a gift only God gives. And each person decides whether they want this gift or not but receiving this gift also means letting go of our Sins. So this leaves us to 2 decisions Life or Death.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
