    Insight for those worrying about masturbation

    Um, "sexual thoughts" is very vague. If you are talking about fantasy or thinking about having sex with someone or sexual actions with someone or objectifying someone in your mind, then I say I can and have masturbated without thinking sexual thoughts. If a sexual thought means, "I think I'll...

    My Concerns With My Feelings Of Homosexuality

    Hey, everyone. I wanted to share what God has taught me through my struggle with same sex attraction in hopes that it may help you through this and strengthen your faith. Many of the previous posts were correct in what they were saying. The first thing is in reference to God making you this...

    Hey man, consider yourself lucky that you are attracted to women to, as I am more on the other side, only attracted to men sexually. So, just chose the hetero route, it's in God's plan. Recognize that God can change you, but that it may be your lot in life to always have those attractions...

    Lust vs Love

    Praise the Lord that you learned that at 15. It will spare you some of the heartache, not all mind you, but some of the heartache that occurs with our situation. You are one of the few young people that has recognized our plight early on and see the purpose and design for us to be with women...

    Is lust a sin?

    To answer the poster's question and not to debate: Romans7:5-6 "For when we were controlled by the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies so that we bore fruit for death. But, now by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we...

    Is lust a sin?

    We are not to live as sexual creatures, gratifying the desires of the flesh. That is reserved for marriage. If you think looking at a woman and thinking of the things you would do to her is not a sin, I have to tell you that is not Biblical. It doesn't matter whether things are specific in...

    good encouraging verses for my gay dorm mate

    I understand your point. I would actually call this orientation, but its a difference in symantics. Being attracted to someone is not sinful, correct. Lusting after them is. But are you telling me you want to live your whole life with your same-sex partner eventually and never have sex...

    Is lust a sin?

    We have to look at what we define as lust. Desire does not equal lust necessarily, but lust can be part of desire. Sexual fantasy involves lust. Imagining you are talking to someone is not sexually lusting after them. My opinion is that lust is a sexual fantasy for someone that creates a...

    good encouraging verses for my gay dorm mate

    Hey man, it's great that you are keeping the focus on ministering to this guy. That's awesome. I must say, however, that I don't have "any good verses that would be suitable and encouraging to gay people." That's like saying, "Do you have any good verses that would be suitable and encouraging...

    Is this natural?

    First, of course he's compensating. Imagine if you had to hide the fact that you loved women. How would you deal with that? How would you cover up something that seemed so natural? My advice: Do not ask him if he is gay. That's the last thing you should do. As a Christian guy who...

    I' totally Lost

    This is where we begin healing--dealing with the questions and frustrations we have. God wants us to question and yell at Him. He can handle it... No one said that you cannot have companionship, love and "other nice things", and God doesn't say that either. But I will say, that all God...

    I' totally Lost

    Hey listen, I understand the frustration and hopelessness, for I struggle with the same things. Yes, I am younger than you, but I have spent all 26 years of my life single and am considered the parent figure among all my peers. Many of my friends are married or are getting married in the near...

    I' totally Lost

    The reason why you are having trouble wrapping yourself around the idea that God loves you but condemns you to burn in Hell if you don't do what he says is because that isn't what Christianity is all about. The only thing he asks you to do is repent and ask Christ into your heart to be Lord of...

    A Lonely Secret

    LoneFox, Hey man, I know what you are going through is tough...I've leaned same sex attraction and inappropriate content addiction consumes you, until you lose all ability to control your actions. It is a sickness like alcoholism. I've struggled off and on with this. BUT, the one thing I am beginning to...

    Question about homosexuality

    Hey bro, just responding for the benefit of others as well, although we've touched on this already. I believe homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. I don't believe our orientation is a choice, however. For me, and many others I'm sure, have ALWAYS had an attraction to men, despite our being...
