No, I know a gay man who is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I do not think one could say that about the two entities I mentioned.Robin Hood wrote: ↑December 11th, 2017, 10:29 amI think you'll probably regret writing that when you think about it a bit more.

Re: What would you do
As far as I am aware, I personally do not know any homosexuals, nor do I want to. If this situation were to change, I would never consider any practicing homosexual to be a friend, nor would I encourage any association. I would however let them know that such actions were a sinful abomination and should be abandoned and repented of.

Also rather than a clever argument its pretty amazing how many of you care about doing what's right and are trying to find a balance between exercising courage but also being kind.

Re: What would you do
Accepting a hypothetical married gay son or daughter into my home isn't really an issue for me.
But the topic has got me wondering if there is anything that would cause me to turn my kids away. I suppose if one of my kids were a pedophile and wanted to shack up with a child under my roof, there's no way I could condone that. I know some people think of homosexuality as a similar kind of act so I guess I can empathize, even though I don't agree.

Lucifer is a gentleman by all accounts.

The scriptures describe your friend as a reprobate.

Lucifer is behind this entire movement, this false God created by men, a God that loves us so much he doesn't care what we do as long as we love one another and do not judge.

Just for argument's sake, how do you define racism? I mean, would you ban a racist like Ghandi from being on your property?...I would have a difficult time allowing a racist be in my home or even on my property.

Fiannan makes an excellent point. Ghandi, George Washington, and Bro. Brigham not welcome, but anyone with a Sodom postcode come right on in!

Re: What would you do
I wouldn't let my kids look at porn in my house, or drink alcohol or smoke in my house or fornicate with the opposite sex in my house, so why would I let them pretend that their marriage is valid and that they can sleep in the same room where they can prostitute themselves against nature. The Family Proclamation says marriage is between a man and a woman, so if a family member in my family married someone of the same gender, then I can't support that marriage. If I had a daughter and she wasn't 16 and shouldn't be dating, then I wouldn't be okay with her having a boyfriend. If my son had a boyfriend at any age, I wouldn't be okay with it. Period. God doesn't validate that marriage, so its as if they aren't really even married. Also, sodomy is a sin that I would not allow to take place in my home. The home is the holy place for the family. We want to make our home a place where the spirit can dwell. You can't invite the spirit to a strip club or a kegger party. If their marriage and their acting on their lusts in my home offends the spirit. Take it elsewhere. I can love my children without letting them do whatever they want. If they want to rebel and break our hearts, they aren't going to do it in my house.
