How can "Christian" parents justify kicking their kids out of the house?
It's not biblical that's for sure.
1 Timothy 5:8 says "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
And yet it seems like the "normal", "okay" thing to do if their child is homosexual or transgender.
It's happened to me, it's happened to friends of mine..
I just don't understand how parents can claim to be Christians and still do this to their kids??

Because being and practicing LBGT is a sin, and evil in God's sight. Homosexuality is unnatural to how God created things to be regarding men and women. Christians are supposed to shun evildoer's. Their certainly not going to condone and enable that deviant behavior. Repent of your sin, ask God for forgiveness and turn away from the LBGT lifestyle..

...you really believe that kicking your own child out of your home to try and fend for themselves (while they're still in highschool and unemployed mind you) is okay? really? what about that verse? it says anyone who does "has denied faith"

Well, some christians have different levels of faith. Some want nothing to do at all with a sinner, others just don't want to acknowlege the problem, so they shun the person and send them off to fend for themselves. I didn't say it's right or okay to boot you out, but that's how your and your friend's parents' have chosen to deal with this. As I stated before, repent of your homosexual sin, ask for forgiveness from both God AND your parents, and ask Him to help you shun and rebuke this nasty lifestyle that you got going on. And if you can, get some counseling or at least talk to somebody about this. A teacher or pastor or somebody.

Because many people identify themselves by their religious beliefs and combine those with their own, man made, concepts. Claiming a religious belief is not the same as living it and truly following it.
Personally I don't think it's right as a Christian. Nor is it legal. But if the child is being directly defiant by bringing it into their parents home then the child bears their own responsibility for that.

Personally, I don't really agree with what you say about it. A child isn't necessarily being directly defiant by simply bringing it into their parents home. I mean. A lot of people feel that they personally don't have say- much of a choice in the matter. That they were "born that way". That it's just who they are. especially being a teenager things can be confusing, really quite horrible to deal with, and quite frightening at times. Saying that they are just being defiant against their parents is a little overboard don't you think?

That don't mean you let your children openly sin against God...in fact the scripture is talking about not putting the burden to care for ones family on the church... The law would have had a child stoned to death for such behavior. The scripture also says if you don't work..you don't eat..if your old enough to be a pervert? your old enough to work.

By the way ..what scripture do you think your quoting ? have you read it in context? It don't say the nonsense your trying to make it mean.

In that case the child should say something like "I'm struggling with this; can you help me?". That way (in most cases) a parent won't see it as defiance, but as a true struggle for the child. But if a child were to essentially say "this is how I am and you're just gonna have to deal", that would be a defiant attitude.

Well... If you're talking about "letting your children openly sin against God" that's kinda unavoidable. Children sin. You sin. I sin. Everybody openly sins agains God it's not a matter of allowing it, it just happens.

There is a big difference in slipping and openly sinning.We're not suppose to be openly sinning.If we are we're no different then the world. We're supposed to be a new creation,leave the old man behind. If you're openly sinning everyday you have a misunderstanding of the Bible.

There is a huge difference between the weaknesses that we all have while trying to honor God..and the open rebellion against God and His Will... any honest person should be able to see that?

If a parent is against it, then it's likely they don't want it in their house. So bringing over a bf/gf of the same sex would be a direct defiance.
Nowhere did I state that a child should magically stop being gay just because they walk into their parents house. Get a grip and think a little.

How can a mama say such a thing to her own child? She dont recollect giving birth to that child? She dont recollect the nights and days praying for him, doctoring him, feeding him, comforting him? She has been raising that child for years, and now, because that child is struggling, she is telling him to scat? I cant imagine saying such a thing to my own child...the most precious I have...

I'm praying that yall will get this sorted out.

I think your hearing one side of the story...maybe that's what you want to hear?
Of course a parent should not allow this manner of evil in their home....

No, Mitspa, I'm just a mother failing to understand how a mother, and a father, can cut a child loose like this...

If you knew the whole story..not the story of someone who uses the scriptures to make a charge against their parents and rejects the scriptures when they clearly reprove their sinful behavior ..you might understand?

Well... using your own argument- none of us know the whole story... personally, I agree with jennymae. But I mean for all of you people, there's no need to act out towards one another.. Maybe they did tell their parents they were struggling with it, and their parents- like some of you, simply said there's no room in their house for that and kicked them out just like that? Also, I'd just like to point out that homosexuality and transgender people are two completely different issues.

Agreed. Situations that result in this manner are usually a culmination of long, drawn out battles involving lots of tears, tempers and heartbreak rather than a one-time differing of ideologies.
