Looking For Christian Support, I am Afraid For My Daughter!

[Digitallady]

This is a cold and evil world. The Bible speaks about during the end times, when good shall be looked upon as evil and evil good. I am unsure of the verse. I have a teenage daughter and the public schools are teaching that homosexual is normal. This is wrong, and I am afraid for my daughter. I am seeking christian support. What do you suggest? Do I remove her from public school,, and place her in a private school? I don't have the money for private school, so how should I pay for it?

Welcome to the forums, I am fairly new here too, it seems that your daughter's situation is pretty much similar elsewhere even in my country. I am liberal when it comes to homosexuals, as long as they don't cause any harm.

Your daughter is gay. I'm sorry, but you need to call your local priest to fix this. It is against God.

 

[willfollowsGod]

EverythingIsHoly, I am not sure she said that. But anyway God bless you, Digitallady. Despite what the public school may teach about this, follow what God says in the Bible about homosexuality being sinful and love her and others like God has loved you.

Please read closer. She never said or implied her daughter was gay. And what good will calling a priest do? Do priests have magical wands that they can wave that will instantly 'fix' her? Talk about putting a human on a pedestal.

Yes this is a very evil world. But remember this...

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

You did not state if you daughter is considering the homosexual lifestyle. So I'm going to assume she hasn't. Here is the thing... in this life we will run into all types of influences. Whether in High School or on her first 'real' job. There will be people all around us who can, if we allow them to, affect our walk with God. You are concerned, but remember Proverbs 22:6. Your job is to teach your child and bring them up in the Lord and God will handle the rest. You can't protect your child for ever. Who knows, maybe her having a good example and bible teaching at home will prepare her to counsel others at school or in life in general. Pray for your daughter, teach your daughter and prophecy over your daughter the plans God has for each of us which are stated in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

The teaching and example of a Christian she has at home will stay with her always. Be a good example and teach her God's word. Plant the seed and the harvest will come.

God Bless!

I agree with training them up in the way they should go. You cant shield tnem from every evil thing but you can teach them wrong from right and be there to answer her questions and guide her

You must encourage your daughter to follow Christ and to realise that homosexuality is an abomination (as stated in the bible) Pray for God's guidance in this situation I would not take her from public school cuz she may then grow angry and resentful towards you then she might stray from God to spite you (in a teen dude we do some dumb stuff) also it's good exposure to the darkness of the real world that she must one day face fear not brother for as Christ has saved us so shall he protect us.

Hello. I am in the public school system as well and I totally get what you are talking about. Being a Christian student in public school I hear things a lot about these contridictory subjects. It can get very confusing. However, I have stuck by God and have not had major problems. I would say talk to your daughter about what what is right and wrong according to the Bible. Don't do it in a very serious way (although that might work, depending on your daughter). Maybe take her out for coffee or even at home and just talk to her normally and then present her with how she feels about the subjects gradually. Know how she feels about them. If you do this, you will know better how to properly address these issues. Once you know this, you can gradually (or however quick you want) provide her with the truth . Pray for her daily and if she is strong in her faith she should be fine. If you don't want her to attend public school, pray about it and then sit down and talk about it with her. She may not want to transfer due to friends. Just listen to her. And if you feel God wants you to take her out and homeschool her or enroll in private school, and if she's not taking well to the idea, try to gradually tell her some positives about the choice and how you think it would help her and tell her how God feels. It might even help to just take a moment out of each day and just have alone time with her, so you can both pray, communicate and fellowship. If the private school idea isn't working out, and God hasn't told you to take her out, let her stay in public school and just guide her. Public school isn't all bad for Christians. I went to a private Christian school before public and i'm much happier at public. I think public school has provided me with opportunities to witness and help others more than private school ever did. However, only you know your daughter best so follow God and listen to her. Public school can grow you in faith or tear you down in faith. I've experienced both. It's what you make it. I have many Christian friends at public school (including teachers) as well as non-Christian. However, I spend most of my time with my Christian friends, but I hope my non-Christian friends see how I live and choose to follow God. Pray about it for awhile. I'll pray for you and your daughter. I hope this helped. God Bless.

@Digitallady:
I would suggest you to tell your daughter some more things about Christianity. Send her to the church and as rightly said by @Holdingon2013 in above post,

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

I too believe you won't face much of a problem there.
There are ministries and groups which conduct various activities and teach to Love Him and Christianity...
Take Care

Have you asked her what she thinks. Is she a christian. If yes to the last then the bile can help. Get resurch tools such as a bilde diconary and concordanc. Look up the issue then compear notes. If no to the last then live with the best christan morails you can. Bible thumping wont help. Lastly have conversation wher she can express her self. If she is wrnog do not jump right then. The key is to know her thought process when you know that pray God give examples that van be seen the lead in the right dirrction. God can not change her mind he can only give examples to show us how we are heading down thr wrong path

ALHAMDULILLAH.Sorry to know all this.Plz talk to me if u really need solution

It is the schools responsibility t teach children about everything if being gay is wrong why would god make her have these feelings Jesus main message was love , love is love no matter what sexuality

Just a couple of questions I am wondering about before I try to help you the best I can. Do you and your daughter have and attend a Bible based preaching church with an excellent teen ministry program to help you supplement what the truth is that your daughter needs to know. If we really sit down and think about this situation there are not only public schools to fear but just basically the whole end time scenario IF we are not saved Christians. If we indded are saved already then we must first focus on the word of God and the Bible says God has NOT given us as spirit of fear but of power, love , and of a SOUND MIND. I had first hand experience with this verse back in2010 when the man I married tried to beat, choke , and kill me and then went to a jury trial and got out of jail 6 months later. He was charged with attempted murder but the jury only gave him a lesser charge and he got out 6 months later vowing that we would still go to our graves together. Besides seeking a family counselor to help me deal with the fear I put my fears into God's hands. I cried alot and prayed alot. Then one day all of a sudden I was not afraid anymore. I said that verse over and over about how God has not given me a spirit of fear...over and over. Your daughter must learn that not everything she hears is going to be correct. If you teach her now with the help of a teen ministry program at church she will get reinforcement. Running from the problem is not the answer. You have the whole armor of God on your side...PUT IT ON DAILY. This fight we are having down here with all this homosexual stuff and more stuff to come is only temporary but it is predicted by God so it will happen. This is a spiritual battle we are in. This is not something we can fight and win by using the flesh and making emotional decisions. Stand strong mom. Seek out help in the right kind of church. Pray daily and fear not...God will never leave you nor forsake you. He walks right beside you if you are a saved child of God. If you are not a saved child of God or you don't know if you are please write back and I can tell you exactly how you can know for sure that you are a saved child of God that God will listen to and will answer in His perfect timing. I pray that you will have or begin to have His peace right now.

I would pay heed to christymiller0912's post and HoldingOn2013's and pray for God's guidance for how to handle the situation. The power of prayer is the best tool we have in this world.
I have witnessed countless wrongs righted through the power of prayer. When I pray with others I always tell them that they are to keep thanking God for answered prayers and His will which in your case would be directing the steps of your daughter to hold on to what is right in His Word.

 

[paulguyer]

Look up the definiton of love in the bible. It is not a fealing its not even logical. So to conclude that love and sex are one in the same is the wrong teaching. Love should come befor sex yet the direction thatwe take it is on us. In fact you are teaching that if l want to kill becouse I feal like it whos to say I wrong. Fealing are above all decitful. This is the gospil that will lead to hell. Not becouse Iam hollyer than thow or thats the way I want to beat you over the head with the bible to do what I want you to. But becouse God dose love us and wants us to live life how he created it. Any thing less in not excepting that is to see the cross and say thanks Jesus hang in there Im going to do my thing becouse it has worked so well in the past. Keep calling him lord and dont what he is saying to do. See where that leads. And before you say Jesus loves. Let me just point out that Jesus is the Word made flesh. That right there is old testiment. You know the part of the bible with all the wars. The thou should and the thuo ought nots. And sodom and gamora. In fact Jesus refers to sodom and gamora.

When we Christians understand who we are in Christ we will learn to walk in a lost world unafraid. Remember the lost think many things are normal. Easy to understand. They do not have the Spirit of Truth residing in them.....

Your daughter is gay. I'm sorry, but you need to call your local priest to fix this. It is against God.

What is your problem? She never mentioned her daughter being gay. You're the one here with the problem (reading into things). Maybe you should get a priest. How insufferable.

 

[Red_Skull]

EverythingIsHoly must have misinterpreted her words, don't gang up on him guys!

Digitallady, as for your problem I see in your profile that you live in the United States. I don't know if you have to pay anything for it but from what I've been told it's allowed in the U.S. to take your kids out of school and educate them yourself. In Sweden we don't have that opportunity and risk having the child taken away from us if we pull them out of the first 9 mandatory school years. If you are truly concerned about your child going down the wrong path then I suggest you start homeschooling!

She didn't say her daughter was gay..or was even thinking about being gay..but that the

school system is teaching against the bible concerning homosexuality...and she is

concerning about what influence it will have upon her daughter...
