Bible Question:
I recently found out my cousin is gay. I am having a very hard time accepting this because of what the bible teaches on this act. I know him being homosexual is wrong and I worry about his salvation. But I am also afraid of accepting him because if I do I am condeming myself to accepting his kind of lifestyle as okay. I love my cousin but I am very upset over his homosexual life choice. I need help understanding why my cousin would choose to be gay and how I can overcome my fear of his life style. I am caught in two diffent worlds, my christian religon vs. the forbiiden world of homosexualaty. Anyone that can help me overcome this struggle I would apretiate it. Thank you and God bless, Kris |
Bible Answer: The best witness you can be is an example of a life of love and obedience to Christ. When He encountered people, He offered them hope. He came to save not to condemn. The golden rule is to treat people the way we want to be treated. John 4:7-29 |
