Charlie Puth and the "kissing cousins" dilemma.....



Ok.  So if you click on the video, Charlie says something like "kissing cousins."  Now this is where a person needs to go through the bible (yes their were cousins who "kissed" in the bible....weird by modern standards, but true....a person actually needs to READ the bible to see what story I am talking about), and go through -The Talk- to help young children understand what is safe and what is -not safe- as far as close intimate relationship is concerned.  Try these books for basic info.:  Sam and Sue   (the ministry as a whole is ok for supporting patriarchy[women only end up building bigger titanics that sink more people.....and faster....because of the nature of pride] and dealing with those types of issues, but it is NOT a good resource for overcoming misogyny)  Also TEACH and encourage your children to LOVE GOD's LAWS! :)  YAY!  There is a reason it is written as it is!

I can say that me and cousins "joked" about things, and some of my cousins may look and act like "Charlie", but if there is something wrong with the way a cousin is "interacting" with your children, DO NOT assume it is ok.  Do not pressure children to "kiss" or other things!  Even if all the cousins look like Charlie Puth and his cousins etc etc.

What about that "one" cousin who is a little "colorful" and seems to behave as a LGBT person.  Hear Hear ye people, yes even THEY may be a "victim" OR a "betrayer" of trust!  The other cousins do not "cause" him or her to act like that or to behave like that, it is within their HEART to do wrong.....or the other cousins to assume the wrong things!  Even the very smart LGBT cousin can do wrong or vice versa!  (Further studies indicate that family drama does NOT cause LGBT people to commit suicide or to act in social problematic ways, unless there is severe mockery in the family.  No, it is internal SIN issues at hand that need to be dealt with!  It is like an internal desire to constantly MOCK the creator!)  Constantly "giving" a person what they "want" is like constantly giving a child "sugar" without thinking of the consequences (**diseases and mistrust happens)

There is a mature and appropriate way to "kiss" your cousin, but it NEVER by force or intimidation!

Do I support Charlie's approach to dealing with things like the "Orlando Shooting", and he went to play a song for them?  Yes, there is no reason a person needs to get the "Death sentence" just because well just because they have a sexual-impurity issue.  Do I believe in following around and "supporting" the lifestyle of the Orlando Nightclub victims.  No.  I believe in standing for -your values- despite the behaviour of the "Orlando Nightclub" people (it would be no different if the relationships were of other types that were not right).....even if they label you as a person that goes by these titles: http://www.godhatesfags.com/ .  We don't hate "the people" or "the cousins" we hate the sin........just like any other sin, infidelity, stealing, vandalism, mockery of orphans etc.


Another possible resource: www.settingcaptivesfree.com  (you can still follow your own "method" of overcoming these things by going to a different type of faith group as listed in this website....rather than the ones listed, just incorporate bible study)


Or you may have cousins like these guys.  This is called -being human-.  In case some people don't understand the definition of -Humanity-:

Then there are other folks who have family that look and act like -Cher-......not gonna say too much about that....but interesting as many people are -melting pot- combination of something.....
