Should I tell his wife, his Biship, his Aunt and Uncle??? Should I not be friends any longer and keep quiet??? I am afraid for his well being.

The christian thing to do is mind your own business, and keep being his friend as long as he's not grabbing you.

such confession without repentance and remorse is an abomination before God. Sodomy and homosexulaty can be a death sentence but jesus says let good and evil grow together.
The first thing a christian should do is tell the other person to repent and stop the activity. disease is a major factor in corrupting the flesh through Sodomites and homosexuality.
Adultery is a major concern as well. For this guy to tell you what he was doing is also a major corruption in his life. Tell his wife and you destroy the marriage. possibly. Dont tell his wife and you might witness the entire family destroyed through plagues that couldve been avoided. Always PRAY for protection and inspiration to do what is correct

You are in an uncomfortable position. Your best friend has broken faith with his wife, and is sleeping with another person. The way I see it, you have two options:
1. Be complicit with his adultery. Say nothing to your friend by way of rebuke or correction. Let him get some horrid disease while sleeping around, and give it to his unsuspecting wife. Watch their marriage rot from the inside, and then from the outside as the humiliation and emotional abuse take their toll.
2. Confront your friend with his adultery (already confessed to you). He is endangering himself, his wife, and his "concubine". What kind of man tosses his wife away for another, especially another man? He needs somebody to tell him how damaging this "escapade" will be, to all of them. You can act ASAP, and maybe save several lives, perhaps physically as well as emotionally.
Action is better than complacency. You don't have to take out a full-page add for this. Do something!

Tell the wife and tell the cousin's parents, especially if he's under age in which case they will likely want to press charges or seek counsel for their son. We're talking incest and possibly pedophile molestation charges. The bishop has what to do with this? unless he's like in leadership role or working with young people or wants spiritual help to stop his sexual addictions/sins. He's an HIV gun ready to go off on his wife and she deserves to know of his infidelity no matter who it's with. I have my doubts this is a real life matter although it could happen.

ok...i'm gonna tell u wut i wud do if i were in ur exact situation...ok lets say my best friends name is Theo...and his cuzin is Luke and his wife...hmm...Debra...ok...
I would tell Theo how wrong he was for doing it in soooo mani ways...1st he and his wife had a covenant and a partnership and companionship to each other, and he broke all of that...secondly...he did it with a man, which it clearly says in the bible should not happen ( a man shouldn't lay the same with a man as he does with a woman ) Thirdly, Luke is his cuzin, that is illegal, and just sick...however, at the same time, i would show him that i still love him and nothing would change that and he can still ask for forgiveness from our personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...then tell him he has to confess his sin (if you will) to his wife, Debra too...then tell his cuzin how wrong it was...don't keep quiet, tell him and u should still be friends with him becuz u may be wuts holding him together, restraining him from killing himself or keeping him from stranding too far away from God. If he doesn't respond too well to this, then tell him you will have to tell his wife and aunt and uncle because you are trying to help him in the long run...i guess that's wut i would do...i kno this has to be a very difficult situation for you! i will be praying for you and i hope you can get thru to "Theo!" :]]

You should not tell anyone.
Obviously he has confided in u because he trusts you.
You must admonish him in private and tell him that what he is doing is wrong. THen you must sincerely pray and fast for him ( in privacy).
Telling others is not going to make him stop. It will only spoil his reputation and your own rep. if u tell others. It will devastate his wife, ruin his image in front of the Bishop, and create barriers between him and all his friends.
If u are afraid for his well being, just pray sincerely for him.

You are obviously looking for a Christian answer, so lets look at Christ. What did Jesus tell us??
1. Love one another.
2. Judge not others, only judge yourself.
3. He came not for the righteous, but for the sinners.
Hope I helped

You need to confront him about the issue, perhaps give him a deadline to tell his wife about the affair. Pray for your friend and for his wife that God would give them the wisdom and strength they need to hold their marriage together.

Yes, tell his wife. I mean its the right thing to do, its the christian thing to do. Especially if the cousin is underage. thats just sick. If you're gonna be a homosexual, at least don't mess with the family! Thats just nasty.
