I asked this in the LGBT section and got some rude remarks, people said I should ask here, R&S is more open and understanding to this question.

You don't. You pray for her. You show her the importants of God in your life. You witness to her. And let God do the rest. This is between God and her. Not you, God and her. Just pray. I will pray too, for you and for her.

I am afraid you will never get her to listen. But you can pray that the Father will bring her to Christ. No one comes to Christ, unless the Father brings them. We can not do the job of bring anyone to Christ. However, prayer, and being a good friend, as well as a good sister, without compromising your own morals, sometimes can work miracles. You have to let her know how you feel in such a nice way that she is not offended. Let her know you don't agree with it, but you love her and will not let it come between the two of you. Then read your Bible every day, and pray everyday, and don't be afraid to admit it. If ask what your are going to do, say, I'm gonna' read my Bible for a while, unless you need me to do something for you. Or, I was just about to go to my room and pray, do you need me for something ? Then do just that, read your Bible or pray or both.
God be with you,

I don't really think that saying "you're going to Hell" is the right way to approach the situation. For now, I think the best thing you can do is just continue to love her and be there for her, and if the topic comes up, feel free to express your views in a more considerate way. I know it's hard to express this particular view without being harsh, but the nicer you are about it, the more likely she'll be to listen.

The bible doesn't say anything about the 'evils' of lesbianism. Sure it mentions something about women with women, but doesn't clarify whether or not the cloud guy allows it.
British/Australian law has never had an anti-lesbian law for this reason (that & the fact that Queen Victoria saw no point in making it law, because she thought that "women would never do such things").

What a waste :-( We need real girls not broken ones
Anyhow its her choice Freedom of Choice and all but you can tell her about God and what she thinks. Her fleshly desires might make her think shes smarter then God but its her choice. There are some child molesters out there that made a choice out of there fleshly desires too and think its alright because they think they were born like this and can't help it but it's Still WRONG!!!
Pray for her and don't be judge mental on her she is your sister so just try to help her if you can. But like I said even God gives her that choice.

LGBT were wrong about who is more polite.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about lesbians. I think Jesus liked lesbians.
( Now what is in my mind is that you are a level 1 troll or just an amazingly ignorant little brat.)

You can't sweet heart you just have to let her be what she is and what she wants to be. All you are doing by saying that she will go to hell is hurting her feelings and driving a wedge between you all. You have to just pray and put your trust in the Lord and know that he is in control. There is no reason to damage the relationship you have with your sister over this. Just tell her you think it is wrong and do not like her lifestyle but love her and care for her because she is your sister. That's the best thing you can do.

Love her, pray for her and try to drop hints that she should not live that life style. Look up what your religion has to say about it also that may give you some ideas how to approach your sister as you are one who knows her best. However never let it get in the way or your sisterly love for her.

I agree with those on here who have said that mainly what would be needed would be to love and pray for her. (That doesn't mean you have to agree with her wrong choices.) As William B pointed out, (only in my own words) - to become a Christian and avoid hell we have to repent of all sin; being born a sinner is what qualifies us for hell, not just one specific sin; and becoming a Christian is what qualifies us for heaven.

Has she told you you're going to hell because you're a hateful person? She's your sister!
I mean seriously, do you think you're looking at this the right way? Why would anyone EVER choose to be gay or lesbian? It doesn't seem to me like something you could change.

I don't think that is your right to tell her that. Adults don't have to get approval for their choices.
Why don't you try just loving her because she is your sister and accepting her as she is. After all, I thought your religion was about love and letting your deity doing the judging. From your question, doesn't sound like a lot of love is there.
