I think I’m gay

I offered some. As have others.

I don't think Tourist was meaning to be insulting or anything btw. In either case, it's not unreasonable to not expect some things that feel like "barbs" when someone is considering a course of action that the word calls sinful.

Have you read what scripture has to say about it? Some things are hard to accept and we may need some clarification on precisely what is meant, where the line is, etc.

Nowhere in scripture are you going to find that it's alright...but you can find grace and forgiveness. Redemption and deliverance. You will NOT find a license to sin in grace, it is stated that this is not so.

I don't think anyone would condemn a struggle. Some are rougher than others. Some are in the background and can be deadly and others are "in our face" and everyone sees them and it is a lot easier for others to "have an opinion" and inappropriately call to question our sin/flesh. Other times it's entirely appropriate and correct, we just don't want to hear it.

What I mean by inappropriate is a sort of "gossipy", backbiting, pharisee like "calling someone out"...Perhaps some haven't ever had a time where they've done that, but there are times where I've straddled that line and crossed it.



I see some caring posts. Maybe start over and be a little clearer? Based off what I've read, there's not much more I can say. I will say that bad company corrupts good morals, so be mindful about who you keep company with. Has it hurt people's feelings when I stop hanging out with someone whose life went a direction I couldn't stand by? Yes, but that wasn't my intention. I did what I felt was right but a hard choice and it does cost something to pick up your cross.

You guide people to the eternal lake of fire when you say their sin is good.. Thats pure evil.. satan also whispers into the ears of sinners saying don't worry it's ok.. You would do well to be loyal to the LORD and his Message rather then aligning yourself to your human friends..

What a way of addressing anyone.

You’re really showing your true colors.

Is it better for a sinner to lose his or her life, than to keep sinning?

I’m going to tell you something that you aren’t going to hear much. It’s going to be difficult to hear, but it’s the truth.

Murder and homosexuality are the two worst behaviors any human being can engage in.

This is because they not only are contrary to God’s law, but because they are moves to strike at God’s created order...and he deals with them as such...Cain killed Able and was immediately cursed, with God saying “the blood of your brother cries out to me.” Likewise, God struck and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their homosexuality. His tolerance for these things is extremely limited.

Now the good news. “Is it wrong to be gay” is a nonsense question. That’s because there is no such state as “being gay”. God makes men and women. How we chose to behave is up to us. Notice the word choose. All sin is a choice. You need to choose differently.

God made Adam and Eve.. Not Adam and Steve, or Eve and Ellen..

You need to look inside yourself for the answer ... not why you are attracted to females but why you are not attracted to men.
There are experiences that change a person.

Yes... but not that simple...she needs to find the source otherwise it is a losing battle....or she needs a move of God to heal her.

I was looking at phone plans on tmobile website.
One plan was "the magenta". I thought you were probably on that plan.
Lol

Hello, how are you doing today?

I'm not sure if you are still here or not. The last thing I wish to say to you is there are people here who have dealt with your struggle. Perhaps, if you have no one in your everyday life you can talk to you could talk to one of them here. They are wonderful and mature people who would love to share their struggles with you I'm sure. We don't all face the same struggle, not everyone can speak to your struggle, they haven't been there. I haven't been where you are, but I've had my own struggles to stay on the right path. So please speak to one of these people here at CC who understand what you are going through and can give you better advice than any of us can. I wish you the best.

I did not question Gods commandment. only question those who try to manipulate the Truth and claimed that it is from God.

I am giving you the truth.. (and others who are reading along).. You.re throwing of mud trying to make me out to be some kind of mean person does not work with those who know the truth and those who are coming to the truth..

People need to believe God to be a follower of God.. If a person denies that homosexuality is an abomination to God (clearly revealed in the Bible) and tells others that homosexuality (and that includes the sexual act) is ok, then they are not a follower of the God of Abraham.. They are following an Idol god of their own creation and they are attempting to lead others into the eternal lake of fire..

It would be better if a sinner died.. Death brings about the end of sinning.. But God is longsuffering towards us not willing that any should perish but that all would come to salvation.. So unsaved sinners would be better to continue living a very long life.. At lest there is some hope that they may eventually repent and believe Jesus before they die.. Where there is life there is hope..

Not even sure why you asked me that question? what has that to do with the issue of homoseuality and it being sin?

So it’s all about works?

If you don’t sin, it’s all good, but if you do, you’ll be heading for the lake of fire?

According to you I’m attempting to be leading people to the lake of fire...so I must be en route to the lake of fire myself? But you, of course, sinless and rejoicing, will enter Heaven?

What about Grace? Am I ineligible for that as well?

i dont know who Bob is or why you think you are gay OP you sound rather confused

But if you read the Bible...do you have a copy? God didnt want men to sleep together the same as a husband and wife because our bodies are just not designed that way.
However sadly some men did and they found out they couldnt have children that way and also they would get horrible diseases if they tried.

the bible doesnt mention much about lesbianism, OP are you female? But if two women try to sleep together as husband and wife they also cannot have a baby that way either. and if they marry, as some countries allow them to do, it still doesnt mean they can have children without a man. (donating his DNA)

the Bible does not have to mention lesbianism because God as already defined what a right sexual relationship is, One man and one women.

Romans 1
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

...

32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

I see her online all the time. I’m trying not to stare down there while she talks about her tough time. Girl of your dreams, you know what I mean?

I would say that Murder and Rape are the worst two sins....

Don't misrepresent me.. That is dishonest.. bearing false witness will get you nowhere..

I have stated this many times before on this site:: Salvation is by believing God and Trusting in the Way God has made for us to be saved.. Works do not save..

Believing God entails believing that the sexual act of homosexuality is an abomination to God.. Thus it is a transgression against His will..

People are saved when they do not resist the Word of God but accept ALL His Will.. They must believe God to be followers of the actual God of all existence..

Don't put words into my mouth.. I never claimed to be sinless.. Never..

If one does not believe God ( which is demonstrated by them not believing that the homosexual act is a transgression against the will of God) then they are in fact Not following God and thus they cannot be forgiven a sin that they have not repented of.. If a person claims that homosexuality is ok and not sin they cannot ask for the Atonement God provided through the LORD Jesus Christ.. Thus they will have to personally pay the penalty for that sin which will be eternity in the Lake of Fire..

If you do not believe God but are believing in an Idol god that is a pro gay pride god then yeah you are ineligible for the grace that can only be had by believing the actual God of creation who grants grace to those who believe Him and trust Him..
