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❤️❤️.
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.
hey guys, i am really really struggling and i feel like crying. evry day i get this feeling of sexual attraction to the same gender, and i get those feelings even just thinking about it now. i hste them and want them to go away but they simply won’t and it has me thinking that this is just how my life is gonna be like. when i was fully healed or atleast thought i was healed from the false attraction and soocd, i still sometimes got that attraction feeling, and i would force my body not to feel it. i hated it and was scared of liking it so i would like stop breathing and make it stop. it was only ever occasional but this is making me concerned now too, because i still sometimes felt that feeling when i was healed. now currently my main trigger is masculine girls, but when my soocd first started i had no false attraction or attraction like this towards girls, and it was all just in my mind like saying, “don’t look at that girl or you’re gay.” there was one point in my soocd where i was worried about being attracted to my friends, but i am greatful in the sense of i know that that is not true and my main issue is the false attraction watching videos and i have experienced it once in real life too and i hated it. please lmk what i should do or even if you can relate. i am sick of feeling th is way, and i am a christian too so this makes it harder. i’ve tried everything like accepting it, or trying to even say to myself yes u do like it but it always just leads to me being scared.
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?
