gay help: I’m a gay Christian. - Help.com

Im gay and so is my sister. As a man, im fine with me being gay, actually its a good and god-given blessing. She on the other had was very unaccepting of herself. She joined this group Courage for gays that want to be straight, but like most members ended up going back to some gay relationship. Dont try to fight your human nature, its totally natural. For some things the beurocuracy of the church is wrong. Do some internet searching for gay churches in your city and check them you. You will find people like yourself.
good luck

I thought I was born gay. I suffered severe child neglect and abuse. I have been in your shoes and have felt your pain. 30 years after I left the church and 20 years after I dived into the gay lifestyle, I was a broken man. I was sick with Kidney disease, lonely, my life had been wasted, no wife or kids and I determined that ending my life was the answer. That night the Holy Spirit came to me and I felt God’s total peace. I then started to seek God with all my heart soul and mind. I prayed to be healed from homosexuality. It was anything but easy. Yes, God could heal you from it as if he was turning off a light switch. But then if he did, how could you help someone else later who is in your shoes. God can turn your nightmare into victory. We are made stronger by our battles and yes you are in a terrible one that most people will never face. Treat your Homosexuality as a dire battle that must be won at all cost. God revealed to me hidden hurts from childhood and how to truly feel forgiveness in my heart. Then I Started to reject every gay thought. This was very hard, for every thought that I rejected 10 would come in and take its place. This lasted for weeks, it was torment at the very least. But This is true, resist the devil and he will flee. It may take weeks or months just don’t give up! I also had the elders of my new church lay their hands on me and pray to relieve me from my tormented thoughts and heal my mind (homosexuality). And I also Prayed To God to help me. Many times the battle seemed impossible to win. That is when I poured my heart out to God to HELP ME and asked him to take away the feelings I could not. God was faithful. Please don’t waste your life. Seek God he is your best friend. Brother, I want to rejoice with you in heaven forever. You are in my prayers! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!

If all things are possible with GOD then why cant you seem to accept your GOD given homosexuality? To thine own self be true. Peace will come when you accept and embrace your gayness and see that it really is a true gift from God. Pray for acceptance.

I accept what I was. The Gift From God was healing. I am no longer Gay. I know you may not accept that but it is true. I did not want to go to a church that would tell me that it was okay with God to live with homosexuality. I found a church that believed in the bible, all of it. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9 “OR DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. DO NOT BE DECEIVED; NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATERS, NOR ADULTERERS, NOR EFFEMINATE, NOR HOMOSEXUALS, NOR THIEVES, NOR REVILERS, NOR SWINDLERS, WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU; BUT YOU WERE WASHED, BUT YOU WERE SANCTIFIED, BUT YOU WERE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD”. I was positive that I was born gay. I was wrong, it was the child abuse from My mother and stepmother that made me fear women and seek men. God showed me how to forgive ALL of the people who have harmed me. When I was able to forgive, I was able to be healed. I now live with the joy and happiness of the Lord. When and if you are willing to seek Jesus with all of your heart mind and soul he can heal you too. To answer your question: why don’t I embrace my God given homosexuality? God does not give us sin. Sin is from the Devil and was not brought into this world by God. If someone was a thief or a liar should he say I’m going to embrace it be cause God made me that way? Heaven forbid! But Jesus Christ can forgive a liar and a thief and help them to overcome. Don’t be deceived, The Devil wants you to think you homosexuality is okay. God wants to you to trust him, so he can help you overcome it.

There is a lot of goodness in the church and most of its teachings. There is also a lot of wrongness. The church is the oldest beuracrocacy in the world. Created by man, perhaps devinely inspired but created by man to serve the church. Remember the Spanish Inquisition? Think they were right? 2000 years ago people didnt know much about about anything. Remember the church affirmed the right to own slaves? Remember the pope and church leaders taking money in exchange for prayers and promises of eternal salvation? One day you will realize that you can no longer deny your homosexuality, maybe you will think that god has forsaken you but its not the case, God for acceptance and it will come. He will love you no matter what. Think only unholy men are Homos? That is what the priesthood was made for, same with the sisterhood. I pray your suffering is ended and you accept who God made you to be.

I would give anything i could to have someone that loved me and spend my life with them, but becuse of my situation right now i cant… you should consider yourself lucky that you have someone to share life with, some of us arnt that lucky =/

hmm, this post is interesting especially to me (im doing a survey on gay rights)

do you think you would be able to check this site out? and post a comment in the guestbook?

pal, you are not hurting anyone else and there are much more serious sins than being gay.
Did Jesus mention homosexuality? And He is Lord.

Love your neighbour as yourself, and The Lord God is the only God.

The New Testemant sweeps away some of the prejudice of the old Testemant.

And maybe the New Church got a bit carried away with piety and rules after Jesus went????

Love God, never mind that you are Gay, maybe that is meant to be.

God loves you as you are.

I think “cmbdayto” hit it on the head! Do not defend homosexuality. It is a sin. You are cursed with it. Pray to God for healing. You will NOT enter the Kingdom of God if you are gay. And do not commit suicide as that is a sin too!

Pray!

Also, being gay is not “God given” as some tend to believe to justify their existence and make themselves feel better about things. This just causes a delusion. To believe this is to practice false doctrine. To teach this, to share this point of view is false doctrine and false doctrine is a sin.

You will need to give an account come Judgment day.

There are only 2 types of people in this world. (Maybe this will help everyone see “clearer” when they are caught in the fog of “labels”, “religions” and “denominations” and blame these external things for their reasoning to not come to Christ)

1. There are believers. 2. And there are non believers. (In Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior)

There is ONLY ONE way to Heaven (and yes it is a place). And that is through Jesus Christ.

For all those that complain about your churches and the failure of religion, etc hear this.

It is irrelevant. (Yes many Christian churches do not preach/teach properly and not every so called Christian is truly “born again”)

There is only one church and that is Jesus Christ. He is the head of that Church.

All you need to do is study the Bible and take it literally. The Bible was created so that you can understand the “Word” of God. Jesus’ very existence is to show you the way.

Anyone who tells you not to accept the Bible is leading you astray from your own salvation.

The Bible is the Word. The Bible is the Truth. If you don’t accept the Bible you will be lost.

Any other spin on the Bible is false doctrine. Understand the Bible literraly and it will become clearer and easier to understand for you. (I would recommend starting from scratch and doing one of those “read the Bible in a year” programs.) There are many on the internet for free is you look.

The Bible is God’s inspired Word created by the manuscripts of many but most importantly the Apostles of Jesus Christ.

Homosexuality, as in many other forms of sin, can be overcome. It is the devil who grips you. Yes, it is painful but you can overcome with prayer and true brokenness. Seek his mercy. Cry to him for help. Repent your ways! Do not look back! Do not worry! Trust in him! Do not doubt! You can be saved… this is why it is called being “saved.” (when you turn from sin and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior)
Do not give up in you efforts. Nothing in the world is better than the feeling of being accepted by God!

Friends, families, and lovers do not compare to the comfort and love that comes from God.

I think you have to be prepared to turn your back on all those things you “publicly committed to” and the friendships that will be ruined once you are healed. That is okay. You will have a new family. You will have new relationships. Perhaps you may be able to help out those that grow to hate you because of your faith?

Trickery:

The devil puts you and aligns you with certain “like-minded” people so that you feel “bonded”. He knows it is hard for a son to leave his father (Luke 12:53)so he possesses you (and them).

Finally, there is no such thing as being a gay Christian.

You can not be gay AND be Christian. It’s just impossible according to the Bible. And the Bible is Law! You must be “born again” to be a Christian. Just cause you were born into a Christian family doesn’t make you Christian. You need to be “born again”.

There are many reason/ways one becomes gay. But do not accept it as truth because it is not. It is the devil and he is very powerful. Only through Gods grace can we be healed. And I pray you and every homosexual person on this planet is healed from the devils grip.

p.s. my mother is gay. and i still love her. do I think she is going to heaven? Unfortunately no. i pray she will be healed and turns to Christ so that she too is healed. I mention this only to bring context that I do not hate people who are gay and I understand as much as an heterosexual can about homosexuality.

important note: Read your Bible! That’s ALL you need! God is your Father. He will help you but you must repent!

I pray for you. I love you my brother.

how can you say such a thing…

its religious radicals like you that make the world have hatred.

god is supposed to be forgiving and such… how can you go to “heck” if its something that you cant help?

and dont give me that crap that its a choice, because its proven that people are born like that.

you cant “cure” homosexuality”.

“anyone who tells you not to accept the bible is leading you away from salvation”

what are you a prophet? no? then i dont see how you could speak for god.

god is supposed to be understanding… not condem people for somethnig they cant help. so i suggest before you go preeching all this nonsence, you take in account others feelings about the subject.

infact there are christian churches now that are supporting gay marriage, and homosexuality… maybe not in your small minded community, but there are.

being gay in your oppinion is a sin… but isnt judging people a sin as well?

before you go bashing people for what you consider a sin, take a look at what you are doing…

i think you should go repent now…

and quit putting people down with all this nonsence.

I know the Word can be upsetting to some. Of course it is seems funner to enjoy these lusts of the Earth. Satisfying the human lusts just feels so good. The temptation is just so great. And too great and burdensome for many.

However, God’s message was not meant to be a nice guy. (See Matt 10:34)

I’d rather hear the Truth than false promises. Friend know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free! (John 8:32)

I do not have to apologize to no one. None of which I say is “my” opinion. It is the Word from the Bible. “Legalistic” religion is flawed if yur church is legalistic I’d be concerned. If your pastor is legalistic I’d be concerned too.

The Bible is the Truth. That’s all you need to know! That’s all you need to follow. Not my words. I can’t save you. But you can.

Politicians, the Constitution, lawyers, do not make sinning right in the eyes of the Lord. It angers him. That is why we must repent for our sins.

I guess it would help if you knew what homosexuality means according to the Bible as well as sin in general. Once you understand the Biblical context perhaps it would be easier to understand.

Being a nice guy or gal will not get you into heaven and the original poster understands this. I’m sorry for those who continue to accept homosexuality as okay it is not whether mankind says it is. That is not the point.

It’s okay to be angry at my posts. I am okay with that.

I will pray for you too.

dont bother, im not christian.

you did not answer my question… does the bible say thou shal not judge?… or something along the lines of that?

and what are you doing right now?

yes the Bible does say that. I believe you are referring to Matt 7: 1-6

And that is true. Do not judge lest ye be judged.

However, God judges. And this is what we all need to understand.

Some folks simply don’t know this. Worst there are those that know this and deny this. Your Father in heaven wants you to worship him! Jesus shows you how. Obey him!

Just remember the most important commandment of them all…

Matt 22:36-38 “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” To do that means to do what he asks you to do, behave, and live.

lol… now your preeching to me because i choose not to believe in religion? did you take history class?

look into the history of religion… not just what it says in the bible either…

and when do you plan on repenting your sin of judging me, and the poster of this question?

again… you seem to be speaking for god here… your commanding me to obey god and such when really that is not in the bible anywhere that christians HAVE to try to convert people… i made it clear im not christian.

also are you aware that through out history, almost every war that was started was over religion? or later was blamed because of religion as a scape goat? im sick of people hiding behind religion, like you are now doing.

religion is not, has not, and will never be 100% true. look up your history books… instead of a bible that was written by one person, and then edited over the years to benifit the higher up people in the churches waaaay back when.

WOW… fighting with eachother on somes post that is asking for help, thats selfish… + Im gay and i really dont care if i go to hell, if god wants to send me there for a dumb thing like sexuality then thats his/her problem and as far as heaven goes it looks like it was designed by a gay guy =P

what iw as arguing was the fact that the other “bugger” who was posting anti gay posts was prolly not making the poster feel any better.

thats not selfish. you may believe that but whatever.

i am trying to show that being gay is not a horrible thing, and people should not go put people down and hide behind religion because they are insecure.

whoever this poster is obviously does not need that.

Lust is not Love. Sex is not Love. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with Love.

Following the commandments of God, which are derived of Love are Love. Because God is Love.

A person who believes they are born gay are trying to say “I can’t love God the way I am because I am different.”

Same as if a poor person says “I can’t love God because I have no money.” Don’t fall into this trap.

You CAN love God the way you are though your lusts tempt you, even if you feel like you are born that way.

Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

I think these religious nut-cases scared this poor person away from this site. They havn’t replied for over a month. Just hang in there sweetie. Jesus loves you and so do I.

i totally agree!

i like how they ignore my points against theirs…

i hate people who go and shove all that religious crap down your throat.

well besides the small gramatical errors, the way you put your point is really good. thank you. up until now most religious people i have seen on this site are incredibly… “pushy” so thank you for restoring my outlook on religious people on this site.

HI,

Not sure if this will be posted. First time that I have done this. I was looking for a gay christian group of people to share thoughts and stories of the spirit. I cannot say what you will do or others. I really try not to get into an us-them scenario or judgement game, as I do not think that is what it is about. I can only tell my story and hope that it might do another some good. I too first felt a sadness and shame around who I was, even made an attempt to end it but thankfully I realized this is not what God wanted for me. And I have come to realize that the voices that led me to think I was of no value were not from a good source, they were not from the Source. Though I will admit it has been a challenge living as a christian and gay, it has not been so much about being gay as much about some who have treated me and others in an unchristian manner. At the same time, I have been fortunate enough to encounter some incredible christians and people of other faiths (some within the church and outside), and have been able to experience some truly wonder-filled moments of God’s grace.

I hope you and others find some peace and joy in this life,

c
