I don't know if this is the right place for this post, but I'm freaking out to much to really think about it right now, i"m sorry, I just really need someone to talk to or something. It started with me questioning how my church view gays, I felt you should love everyone, no matter what. So I found gay christian network, another forum like site, and everyone there helped convince me you could be gay and christian, it was as if a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders, being able to openly accept gays because I hated having to turn away from someone. Looking more into it I found the opposition, they said how gays and gay supporters would go to hell if they did not repent, but I felt if I did I would be breaking gods rule of loving everyone as you love yourself. I was split and freaking out slightly, as one of the people quoted the verse of Jesus saying people could call out "Lord, "Lord," but he would tell them to depart as he never knew them. I went to pray but I realized something, I felt nothing, I never really felt anything when I prayed although I did often, I'd always find my self saying 'Amen' over and over, as it felt the message hadn't got sent. This got my stupid brain thinking a million miles per hour, "What if I'm not saved? What if I can never be saved damned from the start? What if one of my family doesn't believe in God and they go to hell? What if Christianity is false and another religion is real?" And so many other things, I nearly had a panic attack instantly. I feel as if I do something slightly wrong I'm going to hell, but I'm not even sure what the wrong things are any more. I feel trapped, condemned, helpless, alone, nothing good. I'm crying right now, sick to my stomach and absolutely shaking, I've had episodes but never this bad, I'm still absolutely split on the gay thing but that's the least of my worries right now writing all this down calmed me down a bit and I just went to pray about it again, but I still feel nothing. If you could write a comment to help me calm down or even just pray I'm sure it'd help, I'm sorry to put such a downer on your day but I'm not sure how bad I'd be right now if I hadn't sat down to write this, again sorry.
Breakdown, please pray

Hate the sin not the sinner!
some believe differently about salvation... there are 41000 different christian sects...
I have been to many only to see the doctrine of man being taught... I had no self control when i WENT TO THESE man made CHURCHES.
After 40 years I received from Jesus christ freedom from masturbation that In had sought from the first day WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD. guilt ridden begging God 40 years!
the day Crist took away my drunkenness, masturabation, tobacco use and other desire's was not when i went to church..not acupuncture not any man or womans advise or action it was the Gift of God through his Son Jesus Christ.
so I went on a church quest to see what church followed the apostles doctrine in worship.
after many churches and seeing so many different worship services and the error.... I found the non denominational non-instrumental churches of Christ.
this is the same church that Baptized jeffrey dahmer after he was jailed confessed repented and received the Gospel of Jesus Christ and was baptized for the remission of sins in Obeying the gospel of the lord Jesus Christ.
My friend do not give up get a bible and read study please!
all have fallen short of the glory of God!
New American Standard Bible
"Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
there is hope! believe in jesus christ death burial and ressurection and be baptized for the remission of sins and continue in remembering the lord's death on the first day of the week sunday with like precious faith individuals of the church Of Christ
He Befriended a Serial Killer, and Opened the Door to God

Welcome to CF!
Regarding your walk with Christ. Sometimes, our emotions get in the way of our relationship with God. Our culture is so obsessed with emotions and emotional triggers and sometimes we apply the same desire for our church services and relationship with God. We "need" to feel something in order to believe that we are saved and that God exists.
However, our mind is deeply rooted in the Scripture, it will guide and stimulate our emotions well because emotions are indeed an important ingredient in the Christian life.
Sometimes we feel empty and only silence from God but during those times, we should rest our minds in the Holy Scripture. Remember, our relationship with God comes from faith and not feelings. It's also important with discipline, to study the Holy Bible, pray, reflect upon God's creation and wonders daily. We are followers of Jesus Christ, we are His disciples and such, we try to walk in His footsteps and focus on the fundamentals and not to be so concerned with the next "spiritual high".
In due time, you will feel and know that your relationship with God grows by the minute.
As for homosexuality, the Holy Bible is clear on the subject and we as Christians shouldn't try to appease the current societal norms if they go against God. With that said, we shouldn't shun away no one. There is however one thing to justify sins and totally another one to be respectful and loving of our neighbour.

honey, it's natural to have some questions and even some doubts, but it sounds from your post like maybe you do not study the Bible or even truly know what you believe. if you make a study of Christianity, you will find that all other 'religions' are false and the words of the Bible are the very words of God. you can come to know Him through the pages of the Bible, beginning with the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the writings regarding when Jesus walked this Earth. this will give you a good overview of who Jesus really is and what Christians believe and try to emulate. please do not get a paraphrased version, such as the message. i suggest the KJV. you can study on line. there is a website, which i will list a link for, where it shows various Bible versions all on one page for comparison study and commentaries at the bottom of each page for each and every verse. this is an excellent study reference. God bless you sweetie. i am praying for you in Jesus' dear name. love in Christ
