If you had to choose between Jesus, and accepting and loving your homosexual child, which would you choose?

Question

So, the ice cream stuff was build up, yes.?

Is this a real question then, yes?

I'm curious to see how many CHristians will say theyd pick Jesus if it meant they wouldn't love their child.

Answer 1

Jesus would want us to love our child. Jesus didn't turn anybody away, even thiefs and tax collectors.

Answer 2

Following Jesus' teachings and loving a homosexual child aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, true Christianity teaches us to love and not to judge.

Answer 3

My child. Doesn't matter what my child ends up as.

I've seen parents throw their kids out of the house for lesser offenses than homosexuality.

Answer 4

One your question is void of any meaning.

Let me inject some meaning: You have to love your child no matter what yet accepting Jesus Christ is more important than excepting homosexuality.

Here are the guidlines on that:


1 Corinthians 13 (Young's Literal Translation)

1If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

2and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

3and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

4The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

5doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

6rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

7all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

8The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

9for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

10and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

11When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

12for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

13and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.


So yes love your child.

Answer 5

Let Jesus do what he will... if its my child, then I'm going to love it... there's nothing wrong with being homosexual either... of course, I'm not religious, so I guess this question isn't really aimed at me...

Answer 6

If I had a child they would be my child always. Their being homosexual would not make me love them less and if anything made me make a choice between that and my child.. my child will always come first.

Answer 7

Hon, it's Sunday morning. Most of the people who would choose Jesus over their own children are in church right now, bowing and scraping to please their god. I'd wait till after lunchtime at least to ask this one =)

Oh, and of course, there would be no choice for me, mythological beings are not even in the running.

Answer 8

When we really love we have no chance to choose. Because love is the strongest allmighty force in the whole universe and in ourselves. Whenever we love we are a part of him.

Answer 9

God does not ask us to make such a choice. If I as a Christian had a gay child, I would love him (and I would love Jesus). I would love my child enough to tell him that, like all of us, he is a sinner who needs to repent and accept Christ as his savior.

Answer 10

First of all God is love. He would never ask us to not love someone else, whether they were related to us, friends, or strangers. Of course those of us that would choose Jesus would understand this concept.
