Just know that God loves you as you are and all he wants is to be your strong place and your friend.. Don't be scared. Focus on spending time with him, tell him what's going on in your life, and those fears about him accepting you will gradually lessen as you get to know him. Just think like when you're afraid of God or swirling with OCD doubt about him, that those thoughts and feelings are not from God and therefore not real.
Remember, God knew what He was doing when he created you, He knew the struggles you would face, and He knew that they would become your story. You are YOU and God doesn’t mess up, and I know the church can be a scary place to go when you’re gay. I’m sorry that it’s this way because it shouldn’t be.
I’m gay and also religious. My sexuality really doesn’t affect my faith and vice versa. It is what it is!
Hi❤️. I’m a Christian. What particularly are you looking for advice for?
Thank you 😊
No problem! We are in this together! I mean we even have the same username and everything
@Anonymous I think there are actually three different users who have the same username and avatar as you.
@Anonymous I could only tell the difference by tapping on your usernames to see when you became members.
@catlady advice about being gay and religious
A verse that helps me when I’m facing temptation is 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
I don’t know what your religion is, but I want you to know that Christians who are only judgmental of gay people are NOT a true representation of how Jesus sees gay people. While God condemns sin, He offers grace and forgiveness.
As in being gay or as in gay marriage? Or both?
But is what im doing wrong?
Acting on gay sexual urges and leading a gay lifestyle is wrong and the Bible condemns it. God doesn’t make anyone gay. Since Adam and Eve sinned humanity has been flawed and had a sinful nature. Some people are gay because of it and other people aren’t gay but they struggle with other sins. But, God loves gay people and He desires to forgive them and have a personal relationship with them just as much as He does anyone else. Any Christian who has shown you judgment for being gay rather than love and guidance to help you is wrong and going directly against what Jesus taught. I am so sorry if you’ve ever had one of these experiences. 1 Corinthians 10:13 teaches us that God will never allow us to be tempted above what we’re able. If we do sin, however, God is still there for us to reconcile with and forgive us. Go to Him with all your troubles and pour your heart out before Him. Nothing is too small for His attention or too big for Him to help you with❤️❤️.
So, I’m gay, but I have obsessive thoughts about being straight. The idea of being with a man is not something that I find appealing, but a mix of OCD and compulsory heterosexuality causes a lot of anxiety for me. Does anyone else have similar issues? If so, do you have any advice on how to cope?
Why is it scary to be gay? Is it religious? A fear of not knowing who you really are? I am genuinely curious. I feel like this is one of the few types of ocd that I don’t deal with so I don’t really understand it.
I’m in turmoil trying to figure out if I’m a homosexual. I keep thinking I’m homosexual but never believed that I was until very recently and have had multiple heterosexual relationships. I cannot tell what is real and what is not anymore and I’m losing my mind. I have no idea of whether I am heterosexual, homosexual or bi-sexual? I can accept being bi-sexual as it means the relationships that I had were not fake or simply a cover up. However my counsellor has told me that I’ve more than likely repressed all my homosexuality and used my relationships as a cover. Has anyone had serious trouble with their sexuality and can you please help? This is horrible
