I have a daughter who is gay. I have no question in my mind that she was born gay. As early as age 6-7 I began to wonder if she might be gay. I just knew. She dated one guy in high school for a short time. In college she met a girl and fell in love. They have been together now for several years. They are both delightful, bright intelligent women. As far as spiritual matters are concerned, of course they would never be drawn to any of the churches for any kind of guidance because they know exactly what the church people think of them already. Their spiritual path is between them and God. I do not worry about that because I know God loves her as much as he loves anyone else. Incidentally, I have two other daughters who are definitely not gay. They love their sister who is gay and my son does as well. They accept her just the way she is and do not try to change her. Her best friend from high school who is heavily involved in a Pentacostal church dumped her outright after finding out she was gay. She completely severed all ties and communication with her. My daughter cried so much about that. What a great friend!
God does love them in that he sent Jesus to die for the wickedness of humanity ... which is why OT Prophets \ NT disciples and the NT church is commanded by Jesus to proclaim the message to the unbelieving world REPENTANCE and TURN
Isaiah 30:15
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:
“In repentance and rest is your salvation,.."
Ezekiel 14:6
“Therefore say to the people of Israel,
‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent!
Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!
Jesus' message did not differ
Matthew 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent,
the consequence of not repenting:
Luke 13:3
"I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." ~ Jesus
and despite the haters of the truth who vomit out the "mind your own business \ focus on yourself" ... Jesus said:
Luke 24:47 ... repentancefor the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 20:21
I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God inrepentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

What more could any parent pray for their kids to be--HAPPY, LOVED and INTELLIGENT!!
And what more could a kid ask for from their family but the exact SAME!!!

Ain't that wonderful!
And all Jesus had to say was
LOVE GOD,
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
In god's eyes, is incest morally OK?
Because, you know, those two sisters had incentuous sex with their father.
Many of the stories of people in the Bible, are stories about people, with little in the way of whether God likes or dislikes the behavior.
The sisters had grown up in the twin cities. They thought that all of mankind lived in those two cities. With the cities gone they thought all mankind was gone, except for themselves.
Nowhere in that story does God imply yea or nay.
Simply because a story exists, does not mean that God approved, or disapproved.

Ok, but I'm not convinced.
It seems to be that the god of the bible was perfectly fine with incest and that was not only in this story, if you read Genesis, Adam and Eve's children also had lots of incestuous sex and that is how the human race populated the Earth.
According to the bible we are the product of incest.
