- Leave him alone.
- Relax. Just have a dress-up party with him.
- take him to a therapist or physiologist.
- Try to understand and accept him.
- Try minding your own business? If you fear for his safety, how about trying to take up for him. He is your brother after all. He is who he is. Just love him for that reason. The rest doesn't matter.
- Take him shopping so he doesn't have to borrow yours.
- If you truly love and accept him why should you think any action should be taken? He's probably going to come into enough opposition from most close minded moronic people he meets, he doesn't need it from his sister as well.
- You know, it's only Leviticus that warns against wearing clothing of the opposite sex. Old Testament doesn't apply to Christians. Do you question the state of your soul if you wear jeans or unisex t-shirts? Mortal sin, huh? You must be Catholic. Why wouldn't you consider this a venial sin, as it harms nobody? Love him and leave him alone.
- Call him Celeste and enrol him in EHarmony.com.
- Borrow from his closet.
- It's not that uncommon. Sounds like you're not so accepting of him, so maybe he should seek some like minded (or at least open-minded) people to befriend and have for social and moral support.
- Make sure he has pearls to go with the black dress.
- Just let him. Crossdressing is in. There is no sin in dressing up. It is more a sin to undress and expose your nakedness.
- Him dressing up like a girl is not wrong in terms of Christianity. Stop fearing for his soul because yours is most likely damned at the moment. If he ever did have sex with someone of the opposite sex it's not different from you lieing to your teacher about your homework. As it says in the bible... "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
- This is a pervertion of Nature, this is a pervertion indeed becuase it will cause confusion among people, an God is not the author of Confusion. 1 Corinthians 14:33 33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. This tells you how to become a Christian, and how to go to Heaven John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God . Acts 2:36-38 36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
- Is he borrowing your clothes?
- Talk with your parents, eventually you guys will probably seek help from your religious community leador (pastor/preist/rabbi). They can be and often are cured. God bless you for loving & caring about your brother.
- Try supporting him or risk having many fights which could end up to not talking in the future and it could ruin your relationship. EDIT: "Men clothing" and "woman clothing" are a creation of man, in other words there is no such thing.
- Get him a new dress.
- Listen, they only tell you its mortal sin because they fear things and peolpe that are in any way different, your brother is not in mortal sin at all, he's just experimenting, perhaps he will take it further maybe not, but God loves us all just as we are, he did not say anything about this being a mortal sin - the men who rule the church did and they're wrong.
- Let him be.
- Lite him on fire and send him to Hell.
- There is no reason to fear because of the "fundi Christians". Whatever gave you that idea, the Atheists??? Christians do not believe in violence. It is the wicked who are mean-spirited who would cause him trouble, the ones who are bigoted against these kind of people. Christians will not hurt him. They will only pray for him.
- anyone will fear in this situation, and we all sin in different ways but he is comfortable, leave him .
- why is it a mortal sin to wear make up and long dresses?Please realize that there are many parts of the world where men wear long flowing robes. And makeup was also once common for men. Actually you can today buy even extra make-up for men.
- Live and let live. He is not hurting anyone not even himself. I don't really think it is a mortal sin. It is different but it is differences in people that make the world an interesting place.
- He's your brother, so it makes sense to worry about him. He may be transgendered, or just getting a kick from dressing up. Don't worry about his soul; most people who have/show these characteristics are just trying to find their true selves. Sometimes that means "other than what you'd expect". Let him know that you're concerned out of love and please do not fuss or fight with him about it. He has obviously heard of others who do this and right now it may be fun, but when he's older, it's not as much fun. There are tons of stories about gender-identity out there, so educate yourself and him at the same time. In today's society, it is extremely difficult to be cross-gendered and, if he really is trans-sexually identified, he needs to know what he's up against. But you're right to continue to love him, no matter what. Lots of us march to the beat of a different drummer. That doesn't make us sinners; remember God created all of us and for a specific reason. Calling what he is a sin, is basically admitting that God made a mistake and I don't think this is true, do you? So hang in there, love him and read up more about cross-gendered and trans-gender people. It will help! Sincerely, Bret
- Depending on his size, I would ask him not to wear things he might stretch out. And for God's sake, please show him how to apply blush tastefully. There's nothing sadder than an over made up boy. For the more technical aspects of cross dressing, he should consult a professional, e.g. disguising foundation garments, etc.
- He'll be fine.Will you go to hell for wearing pants instead of a dress or skirt? I didn't think so. Your brother will be fine. And if a guy wearing make up is enough to send him to hell, then most males who appear on television or in plays are going to hell too. I don't see why any god would worry about what humans wear.
- Pray for him. You would worry about Christians harming him but not about the perverts who might be sexually attracted to young men in women's clothing?
- Ah geez what's wrong if he's gay. I have a brother i suspect who's gay as well but i don't mid. I personally think God is also testing our belief and ideas about his words. He is our father but I think he is letting our mind grow as the time pass on and he maybe only testing our ideas. He checks if we are free enough to think if it's right or wrong even though it's in the Bible. Some animals are gay as well. Those are my ideas. God maybe is simply testing us. I have another idea, maybe the Bible isn't actually the word of God, those who wrote them misinterpreted God or put it down themselves and not actually God's words.
- If your brother isn't hurting anyone I wouldn't worry too much, there are some places that still hold in high Regard the Hermaphrodite because they are considered closer to the De-vine Image which at the very beginning, the first spark of life, was androgynous. I believe that if the Christian God saw a Trans-gender or Gay or Hermaphrodite person as an abomination, he would not hesitate to kill them, and it seems to me that more and more people are admitting to having both male and female feelings and emotions, I believe it to be the Goddesses way of balancing out an overly masculine world. Just be there for him and love him unconditionally. Let the Goddess in you, shine through. Blessed be
- laugh at him.
