You are always someone's child.  If you can ask your Mum or Dad, they will no doubt tell you this.  Their love for you as an adult doesn't diminish from that when you were a child.  Such is the blessing and sadly, occasionally the curse of parenthood.  

If it's a family feud then it is unfortunate and like you say, shit happens. It can also usually be fixed.

Judging your kids based solely on what the bible says, as was suggested above?  It makes me question the sanity of someone who would do that.

She's not a child, she's an adult. She's not being thrown out, she's been on her own a long time.

Like many adults, if she and her dad can't get along, then that's the way the world turns.

I have a son who is gay. It's not my place to judge him, or try to make him 'repent' of his homosexuality.  He's going to have to face God's judgement all on his own, in due course.  He's well aware of this, and stands firm.  He affirms that he is who he is, and he will not be false to appease those who claim themselves to be more holy than he.

It's my place to offer advice, to offer guidance, to offer emotional support, and to love him in spite of what some would call his flaws, or his wicked, sinful ways.

This is the same reason I left the Presbyterian church. You can't stand up on Sunday and preach about God's law being infallible and then be doing Gay weddings in the sanctuary on Saturday and say that you're now interpreting things so that everyone can feel good.

Legally I don't care who you sleep with or what you do in the privacy of your own home or in public within reason, but when it comes to church, your beliefs ought to mean something, not just be some talking point until you leave.

My Presbyterian church was seemingly as hippie-influenced as it could have been without all but one of the congregation's males having long hair.  It was an easy-going, alcohol-drinking good-time-having bunch, and I was just a kid in it all.

Had that pastor continued on, I can only imagine we would have accepted gays, and I'm willing to be they do with the new congregation.  

We had a visiting Presbyterian pastor conduct services one day, and we were all shocked... then the congregation was miffed because he didn't keep it short and let us out for coffee and social-hour early enough either, lol.   Probably the best Church I could have imagined, possibly because of the times, the people and the lack of bible-thumping.

Read the next verse. AS WERE SOME OF YOU. And this passage is in the context of Christians not suing Christians in secular courts. Paul is using v.9-10 to puff up his readers a little before he humbles them in v.11 in order to make the point not to be too prideful against the world.

The entire point of the Gospel is that no one is righteous of themselves; we need Christ's righteousness credited to us.

understand, my sympathy here is for the daughter--her story is so commonplace that it's difficult not to believe.

that said, you've lost perspective, as evidenced by this last post.  for the believer, scripture is literally--literally--the word of god.  as such, it should by definition dictate a believer's relationship with his/her child.

17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?

Many such cases. Sad!

If he believes in the Christian model, his moral view of God doesn't matter. In Christianity, God is like gravity: bow down or get tortured. Even if they disagree with the dictator, no-one wants their kid getting lit up like an ISIS victim so they tell em to fall in line.

Trauma like this seems to hit the religious more often. I think it's like the blue and red divorce rate. Red people signal they are against divorce or polygamy or what-have-you because their demographic can't handle it well, so they need to show other reds they are not a risk for those problems.

The horse whisperer and dog whispering do something similar...at least the horses and dogs mostly comply after being shunned a bit...it breaks down their resolve
to act out their fears...thats an easy cure for them.

Homosexuals have their own extended families and now with such tremendous approval available and famous role models to look to...they have managed to
mainstream and "normalize" their sin.

God spoke His mind at Sodom & Gomorrah and made his book quite clear on the subject.

You wanna be a modern day Sodomite its your soul...but you have no right to expect anyone who believes God is first in their lives to give you their approval or acceptance
when you make your choice to disobey God...

If they love you and fear for your salvation they need to shun you...not because they hate you but because you hate yourself and their God.

IMO people who deliberately choose sin over salvation who know exactly who God is yet believe they have the right to change God's word to suit themselves...
are suicidal in the spiritual sense...if you know what you have to do to be saved and refuse to do it and demand others accept your version of reality...you
are wrong on every thing...

The truth is the truth even if no one believes it and a lie is a lie even if everyone believes it.

I would say to you go away...leave your family alone....go live your life as you see fit....someday maybe you will see the truth and ask God for forgiveness and
find forgiveness from both God and your family...maybe you won't.

My guess is they will pray for you and hope you come back...but if you don't...they did what God required of them to do...

Hopefully the Holy Spirit will work on your heart until you can see the truth rather than be coerced by the world system that is the will of the enemy of our souls.

Good post.  


Agree with the dad, but if he said those things to her in that way he was being a dick.  Just not how I would have gone about it I guess.  The truth is always in the middle though.   I would want his side of the story.  

To those saying you don't follow certain passages,  are you saying you get to pick and choose what to believe and follow in the Bible?  The answer (and you know it) is no.  The Bible states pretty clearly what it takes for salvation, what is a sin, and what to believe. Choosing to believe in just parts of the Bible or saying "your god" would believe in this and that is at best false teachings.  I will pray you find and accept the truth.

Pretty sure Jesus doesn't hate gay people.  

Also, I wear clothes of blended fabric.

The point that will cause the fall of Western Civilization is that 'The Book' on which it was founded has been degraded to being just 'a book'.

I don't see why this is anyone's business but that of Rick and his family.

AL dot cum likes to rabble rouse and bring up stupid liberal bullshit.  Rick's daughter is a liberal too.  No doubt she brought this up as some social justice issue.

Back when Trump's "Grab 'em by the pussy" controversy emerged, AL dot cum went to all of this trouble to post that they stood by Hillary and that Donald Trump was just an evil, awful person who didn't belong in the White House.

As far as I'm concerned each and every one of those liberal shitheads that pose as "journalists" on there need a swift kick in the balls.

I would still love my child, we do irrational things for them.  Doesn't mean I condone the action or care for what they did.  In fact I can hate what they did.

It would tear me to pieces, but I would still love them.

SO if your child is a pedophile, you're OK with that, too?

Same.  I would still love my children.  I also would tell them I do not condone it, and would not be around it.  I would also tell them I would join them in a journey to find their repentance.  But I wouldn't be a part of their sinning.

My mom and dad had an explosion when my sister came-out.

I talked to my mom. Talked to my sister.

They reconciled. They are cool now.

But it was a disaster for my parents at first.

Maybe it's me but in all honesty it sounds like her family is taking the attitude of "We feel you are living in sin and do not want to support it."

But since SJWs and liberals love to equate "gay" with "good", they feel that it's "evil" to not support their choices and actions.


I'm betting, however, that her family would give her the same reaction if she was straight and sleeping with a married man, or sleeping around with lots of men.  It's not always about "gay vs straight" but about how someone conducts their lives.

The SJW/Liberal movement wants you to believe in fucking anything you want without consequence and ... anyone who dares give them a single ounce of resistance is thrown into the narrative as a "hater" etc.

What other sins does the bible clearly call out as being abominations?

I don't know of any but I will admit I haven't read the bible in many years.

The horse whisperer and dog whispering do something similar...at least the horses and dogs mostly comply after being shunned a bit...it breaks down their resolve
to act out their fears...thats an easy cure for them.

Homosexuals have their own extended families and now with such tremendous approval available and famous role models to look to...they have managed to
mainstream and "normalize" their sin.

God spoke His mind at Sodom & Gomorrah and made his book quite clear on the subject.

You wanna be a modern day Sodomite its your soul...but you have no right to expect anyone who believes God is first in their lives to give you their approval or acceptance
when you make your choice to disobey God...

If they love you and fear for your salvation they need to shun you...not because they hate you but because you hate yourself and their God.

IMO people who deliberately choose sin over salvation who know exactly who God is yet believe they have the right to change God's word to suit themselves...
are suicidal in the spiritual sense...if you know what you have to do to be saved and refuse to do it and demand others accept your version of reality...you
are wrong on every thing...

The truth is the truth even if no one believes it and a lie is a lie even if everyone believes it.

I would say to you go away...leave your family alone....go live your life as you see fit....someday maybe you will see the truth and ask God for forgiveness and
find forgiveness from both God and your family...maybe you won't.

My guess is they will pray for you and hope you come back...but if you don't...they did what God required of them to do...

Hopefully the Holy Spirit will work on your heart until you can see the truth rather than be coerced by the world system that is the will of the enemy of our souls.

imo

What utter nonsense. A parent who would shun their own child because of what some Bronze Age fairy tale says, isn't much of a parent to begin with.

Sexual orentation and pedophilia are not even in the same galaxy.

The God I know would not have you throw your children out, he would have you love them and try and help them.

This fire and brimstone is not what the Christian God is about
