I have discovered that my teenage daughter is sexually active with another teenage boy from our church.  I feel I should approach the mother and inform her but don't want to come across as accusatory.  Suggestions?

You should have immediately  informed the Pastor and and get both family's counseling by your Pastor. If you need affirmation on the problem see 1st and 2nd Corinthians.

The Remnant Paul referred to and Isaiah were those in Elijah's day, the 7000 who did not bow the knee to ball or kiss him....they under Jehu turned the WHOLE nation back to Jahweh

So again you read things into the bible that just aren't said and you'll start a silly argument over it. How does your opinion change what I said about the few and the remnant? BTW you bought up the "'remnant" as a defense for your supposed point.

You can read these scriptures with a different mind, if your mind is that just a few shrivelled souls will be saved then yes these scriptures will seem to back up this belief. I believe for MANY, I believe for the multitude of saved which no man could number, the present population of the world can be numbered.

 

Jesus said MANY will come from the east and from the west and sit with Abe, Ike and Jake in the kingdom of Heaven.

 

See Peter aksed the question "Lord will there be few that shall be saved?"

 

I don't think He answers that question, I think He says "that is not the question" the real question is "will YOU strive to enter in at the strait gate?" it is only among those few who do so strive that we find the great soulwinners...but boy when they ARE entered they do win souls aplenty.

 

See how Romans say concerning Israel "if the Lord had not left us a seed [remnant] w would have fared as Sodom and been made like unto Gomorrah"

 

But Israel did NOT fare as Sodom nor made as Gomorrah....the remnant saved the whole...as with Elijah with his 7,000 who had not bowed the knee or kissed baal...they turned the whole nation back to Jahweh.

 

See in every generation are those multitudes to be saved, the fields are white unto harvest my friend ...but where are the reapers?

 

God does not change, people are changeable but they always were, if multitudes of people could be saved in any age then they can be saved in every age.

 

Perhaps you should have looked up the definition of "Remnant"

We must not add or subtract from God's precious word

 

The host of heaven that John saw cannot include angels etc for they had washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white...only the saved do that

So you believe that there are no angels, seraphim and cherubim in heaven?

Yes you can read it with a different mind but I choose to believe what it states in God's precious word and I don't add or subtract to what it states and it states few will be saved because all the world seeks and serves the god of this world,  BTW all the host of heaven includes us, angels, Seraphim and Cherubim in which the bible states is innumerable. Keep in mind the human race from the beginning of time is  numbered and that number known by the Creator

I would like to ask why God would be so concerned about who I love and how I express that love towards them?

God set things to work in certain ways and that includes things that go on between His creation. So here is what medical science states about the detriments homosexuality generates.

It is about Actions and Consequences, which then determines if a person's actions (behavior in particular) are correct or incorrect... the results of the behavior.

And homosexuality time and time again proves to be a highly detrimental behavior, which needs to be corrected, not glamorized nor rights given to it.

Here are just a few examples of the detrimental results of the homosexual behavior.

- Dr. Selma Dritz in the New England Journal of Medicine: “Oral and ana l inter course present physicians with surgical as well as medical problems, ranging from ana l fissures and impaction of foreign bodies in the rectum to major diagnostic dilemmas.”
* Reference: Dritz SK. "Medical Aspects of Homosexuality." The New England Journal of Medicine, 1980; Vol. 302 No. 8 (463-464).

- “Study: Gay Men Are Twice as Likely to Have Cancer”, Yahoo story, By MEREDITH MELNICK Meredith Melnick– Tue May 10, 10:05 pm ET

- Lesbian sex is linked to higher risks of bacterial vaginosis, HPV specifically genital warts—squamous intraepithelial lesions, trichomoniasis, syphilis, and Herpes simplex virus (HSV), and cervical cancer even among women who have had no prior sex with men. In addition, women who have sex with women have a higher risk of HIV/Aids due to the fact that many of identified lesbians have had sex with bisexual men much more so than a hetero woman has. Transmission also occurs through vaginal and cervical secretions between lesbian women.

* Reference: Women Who Have Se x with Women (WSW), Centers for Disease Control, 2006 (MMWR August 4, 2006 / Vol. 55 / No. RR--11). Retrieved on January 9, 2009.
- Frenkl, Tara Lee, Potts, Jeannette (February 2008). "Sexually Transmitted Infections", Urologic Clinics of North America, 35 (1) p. 33–46.

- In The Gay Report, by Jay and Young, homosexual researchers surveyed the sex habits of homosexuals, Traditional Values reported. The result shows that:

· 99% had engaged in oral se x
· 91% had engaged in anal intercourse
· 83% engaged in rimmi ng (mouth to anu s contact)
· 22% had fisted their sex partners
· 23% admitted to golden showers (urinating on a se x partner)
· 76% admitted to group or public se x
· 4% admitted ingesting feces
These behaviors are the seedbed for a whole variety of serious intestinal parasites, viruses, and bacteria known collectively as "Gay Bowel Syndrome."

-Dr. Stephen E. Goldstone, the medical director of Gay Health.com says that 68% of HIV-positive and 45% of HIV-negative homosexual men have abnormal or precancerous an/al cells, noted Traditional Values.

-Medical experts and scientists believe that the increased number of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) cases is the result of an increase in risky sexual practices by a growing number of gay men. One in five gay men were found to have HIV, according to a study released by the CDC in 2010.

Latest… STDs continue on the increase in San Francisco for the 6th year in a row!
Reference: Article “California: San Francisco sees Spike in STDs”, from HIV/AIDS Resource for Gay Men website, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, February 13, 2012.

“MSM have higher HIV and other STI rates than do women and heterosexual men”, Reference: Article from HIV/AIDS Resource for Gay Men website, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, May 29, 2012.

“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have se x with men (MSM)1represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV”, Reference, article “ HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men”, from website HIV/AIDS Resource for Gay Men website, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, May 18, 2012.

“Atlanta researchers found a high rate of HIV in gay male couples who thought both partners were HIV-negative”, Reference, article “Gay couples at Risk”, from website HIV/AIDS Resource for Gay Men website, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, November/December 2011.

There is a lot, lot, and lot more, but as for the result of these previous studies, it is simple.

Gay men for example, have ana l sex as their main se x act, and the colon is NOT prepare to fight viruses as the vagin a does with all its acidity. Furthermore, the colon is designed by nature to absorb as much material as it can, so when a peni s is introduced in it with all its “wonderful” viruses and bacteria traveling on it, the colon simply does what it does best, it tries to adsorb all of it.... hence the person is more likely to get infections, viruses, cancer causing agents, etc.

The same with Fella tio, the mouth is the beginning of the digestion process, and gay men and lesbians indulge heavily in it, so the introduction of viruses, germs and cancer causing agents into a person is more likely in these cases.

Action and consequences... that is what the opposition against homosexuality has always been all about, the bad consequences to the individuals and society.. because yes YOU too are affected, that irresponsible reckless sexual behavior results in diseases being passes around/spread upon the population, increasing the Health Care cost for everyone! ...so when your Health Coverage BILL increases come in the mail d-o n-o-t complain... with "acceptance" of homosexuality, you asked for it!

When the Lord creates the new Heaven and new Earth, how many do you think will inhabit it?

Matthew 7:14 KJV
[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 22:14 KJV
[14] For many are called, but few are chosen.

 

Leads me to question what the Lord means by "few". Billions? Taking into account all that have lived I would hope many more than that. I know the verses mentioned weren't intended to discourage, but when I read them, I can't help but feel like I'm going to miss out. 

 

 

The bible states few will be saved compared to all that lived and will live on this earth.

Matthew 20:16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen

Matthew 7:13-14
¶ Enter in at the strait gate: for it is the wide gate, and broad way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which go in thereat. Because the gate is strait, and the way narrow that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few chosen.

Luke 13: 23-28
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that shall be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye began to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are,
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at doors.

Romans 9:27-28
Also Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saved.
28 For he will make his account, and gather it into a short sum with righteousness: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
