If one of your children was to confess to you that they are homosexual, and have honest feelings and attractions towards their own sex which they cannot deny, how would you deal with this situation?

Oldguy. try telling that to you child who feels the common sex attraction just as strong as a hetereosexual feels for the opposite sex.
Homosexuality is not a sin. It is bigots like you that keep the tolerance of this world in the stone age.

The website http://www.probe.org has many answers that deal with MANY timely topics. I fully recommend it for just about any question or doubt anyone may have regarding our great faith.
They also have a great search engine for just about anything that comes to mind. As for your issue with a homosexual child, I have never dealt with that in my family but I do recommend the following articles on the probe site. Hope this helps! :)

I would try to make sure they are not being led astray by evil people who take advantage of teenagers rebellious spirit, and support them through the process. Some people are born with their desires mixed up and if I come to believe this is the case with my child I will treat them as I would a child with any other disability. The homosexual act is a sin, that doesn't mean that people who are homosexual are any more evil than anyone else who is a sinner. Best wishes.

I know of a parent with this dilemma.
I would say what is right regardless of what my son or daughter would think. That is what a loving parent does and if they understand how and why their child is a gift from God and know their role..why would they do any different? One would possibly have to acknowledge never being a parent to begin with because being a parent isn't a job exempt from honesty and hardly 100% free from conflict. For those parents who are worried about image including acting out of political correctness they will spend their days doing as their son or daughter does in a sense they are obviously out for brownie points. It would validate, as any other curse in a family, the proof we reap what we sow if we do not parent instead choose to do what makes us or anyone else comfortable(self-centeredness).
We all have free will...we were born with it.

Umm... so what's the dilemma?
And Last Ent Wife, I did check wikipedia's article on colorectal cancer, just to see if there was anything new since I was at medical school. HPV is listed as a possible cause, (the jury is still out) amongst many, many well known causes. Did you know that cervical cancer is caused in over 95 per cent of cases by a sexually transmissible virus, and that this virus is almost exclusively passed to women through heterosexual sex?

I don't know coming from a 'macho' type of family with 7 brothers and with my own family of 5 sons, Back then not alot was acceptable like it is now.
If it were me i wouldn't know really how i would handle it. I have to ask myself as a christian would i be doing my son justice by allowing him to stay in that predicament?or allow it knowing
it is against my beliefs. My parents taught us, it is better to prevent than to cure but its a whole different ball game saying it than to do it. I believe as aukward as it may be my love for my sons (any one of them) would remain the same if this became a situation for us. I also believe the love of God surpasses all understanding he would provide for that particular need. Its not something to turn our noses up at and pretend it doesn't exist among our own families, nor should it be encouraged. May god help us to understand situations like these.

i would thank them first of all for trustn n talkn to me, then we wd discuss openly about dangers of homosexuality and also the biblical teaching on homosexuality. Then they would be able to make a better choice of what thye want to do. I cnt force them into something as they r there own person n r responcible for their actions but God Knows i will have tried my best. above all i would pray for them for the holly spirit to intercede coz alone i am nothn.

Educate the child on the the reproductive nature af humans & animals.
Explain to the child what God intended sex & sexuality for...
Children need to be led in to a purpose driven life.

ahhh, questions like these never fail to bring out the bigotry and nastiness that is the true core of christianity.
Outdated morals obtained from flea-bitten sheep herders FTW!

The same as you do with any other sin. You try to help them the best you can to understand the need to overcome it and to turn to God.
