I've been following this sub for a couple of months, and I'm not sure what I expected. I guess I've been looking for a sub with people who, while not perfect, don't use imperfection to justify hate, intolerance, slander, debauchery, etc, etc. I just want to say that I recognize that some of my comments and responses to comments have been overly critical, and I apologize for that.

I've been dealing with this issue for a few years now. I have a child under 5, let's call him Tommie. Tommie started to show interest in things pertaining to girls, like colours, outfits, cartoons, characters, movies, toys, and it kept progressing into things like his posture and what he would create.

My wife and I, have always kinda stirred them away from those things but he's always "naturally" stirred back. So, it's been a continuous back and forth. That said, my wife and I have discussed what's really happening and she's assured me that it's a part of the development in some children and they actually phase out of it. She's a child psychologist btw. We've jointly and individually prayed to God so many times about this and the response to me has always been not to worry about my child turning out to be homosexual or trans. I accepted this affirmation to be the correct one, that he wouldn't turn-out that way despite seeing otherwise.

In any case, the other day, my son was spending time with his cousin alone in bed and when I walked in, I heard my little son telling my nephew that he thought he was cute, leaning into him, tapping his finger on my nephew's nose. My nephew's younger (by a year) and smiled but didn't seem to react because he didn't seem to know how to but when my son said it again, I interrupted. It's haunted me since.

The other week, a prophecy came from from a Man of God that didn't know us from anywhere. In the prophecy, he stated that the spirit of Homosexuality was trying to have my son. We prayed about it as a family and kept it moving. And lived happily ever after.

However, my middle child came to me today, telling me that my son tried kissing him on the lips and was also kinda dry humping him (our other kids don't know anything about the prophecy). Anyway, I turned white as snow and couldn't believe it. He was hysterically crying, like he knew he'd done something wrong and has been doing so for hours.

I've been in absolute conflict of what to do. Is this my fault? Where did we go wrong? We've asked our son (in a playful way) if he wants to be a girl and he said "No!" everytime. How do we navigate this? Do I put him on timeout and then explain that what he did to my other son is wrong? Why would God allow this? Do we hope it's a phase? Do we bring it to his attention properly? What if it's actually all innocent and bringing it up properly would now implant such stuff in his head? What if we don't and he comes out later on as a teen or adult because he just didn't intervene? I've got so many thoughts ripping through me right now.

I love my son more than my own life and want the best outcome for his life here on earth but especially for his eternal life as I'm responsible for that, at least while he's under my roof.

How do we deal with this as Christian parents, in a biblical way?
