Father gay son relationship
Only Jesus can.
The importance of fathers and father figures in the healing journey of the homosexual struggler cannot be overstated. A father cannot make him do this. Everything you do in interacting with your son has to flow out of love, a pure love. You must never ever give up.
If you want your son to truly be healed, he has to completely give his life to Christ. Eventually you will get through; the wall will collapse.

If you try to love with ulterior motives of trying to fix him or make him change, it will fail. It is like slowly chipping away at the wall surrounding your son. It starts with you and your relationship with the Giver of Life. The only thing you can do is model this yourself and that means completely giving YOUR life to Christ.

I cannot understate its importance. Only He can change you and help you love like this. They have to be able to say that to their son and ask for forgiveness. If you do, Satan wins. Love is key.
