Help

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?

Do you find yourself politically liberal but theologically conservative or politically conservative but theologically liberal? Or maybe moderate in both spheres? That's generally the type that falls into this forum.

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

Of course, everyone here who reads this is wondering what you mean by "I am a bi sexual but trying to live as the bible says to" but is probably too polite to ask.

I take it to mean bi-sexual inclination but trying to live heterosexually—is that correct?

good point

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)

Hopefully you aren't. What is behind your journey from Southern Baptist to where you are now?

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.

Thanks. A bit similar to my journey.

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.
