I don't know what category I belong to, if any.
I'm a born again Christian. I attend a community church. I am a bi sexual but trying to live as the bible says to.
Any suggestions?

More moderate in both areas. Sounds like I'll fit in just fine around here.

precisely
Just to give you some back ground, my community church is probably a little more conservative theologically speaking than myself. However, I was raised Southern Baptist, so it's a nice compromise for me.
I was born a bi sexual, but as I see it, we were all born sinners in need of a Savior. So, here I am. Make sense? (Hope I'm not crunching too many toes here)

Gosh, well, for one thing I've realized that Jesus example for us was simply to love people as they are, not fire and brimstone preach at them about going to Hell.
Also, a few years ago, I realized I could no longer believe in young earth creationism, and that obviously God created us through an evolutionary path. 
I've also just been open to new views since I've realized how many problems I feel the Southern Baptist church has.
That's the short version.

Bisexuality. I have found that some women who believe they are bisexual are more very sexual than truly bi. When sex is not discussed very freely and healthily it is easy to not see any distinctions between the two categories.
