Hi Jose, Thank you for the encouraging word. Yeah maybe we can talk more about it if you would like. I am glad it helped Nathan. Stay strong brother!

I'm sorry that you feel so alone. I have dealt with this most of my life (I won't say my age, but it is closer to being your older brother than your father). The temptation comes and goes. I see the triggers for it so I try to avoid those. I have dealt with this directly mostly on my own - I...

I have dealt with the same attractions. Here are some thoughts: -Stay away from homosexuality; flee from tempting situations. It's not worth it, not for one second! -You are correct in saying that it is not right. It is very destructive. -The feelings don't just "go away" on their own. Part...

I just can't take this seriously. Are you spending hours each week worrying about this and doing rituals? If not, then this is not a serious issue. When I dealt with OCD, I dealt with DEBILITATING fears (however unfounded) and spent HOURS each week dealing with it. I would not casually speak...

Yes it is possible in my opinion. I don't know you, but I'd be willing to bet there are deep-seated lies that you have come to accept, unbeknownst to you, that have been feeding this lust. In your journey, try to avoid these cliche' mistakes: 1) Thinking that you have not overcome this issue...

What will happen if the videos are NOT liked in order? And what difference will it make if they are liked or unliked?

If you remain in the Lord you will be fine. I have dealt with this for years, and still do to a very slight degree now. I don't consider it a dominant issue in my life and I do not describe myself using the term "homosexual", and in my opinion neither should you since you are not advocating that...

I have felt kind of like you at your age, minus the fear because I knew no one could force me to commit homosexual acts. I believe that you may be hindering yourself by referring to yourself as "gay". You seem to be implying that is part of who you are intrinsically and that you can never...

It sounds like your are frequently being tempted to leave your position of security. So rather than knowing that you are loved and secure in Christ, you may feel like you are not loved and secure in Christ (because you did something wrong or what you perceive to be wrong) - hence your OCD...

What helped me with this was realizing that I am utterly helpless without God. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 5:5 "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the...

Insults and rejection do not cause suicide, people make a voluntary choice to do that. You don't let insults and rejection harm you by rejecting them if they are lies and believing the truth instead.

No, but I don't think I've been in traditional churches long enough to really see that. I also don't depend on people in church as much for those kind of answers.

That doesn't sound like OCD to me. Maybe in the informal sense of the word it's OCD, but it does not sound like the actual disorder. Everyone I speak to that has OCD thinks about their obsession for long periods of time, more than they want to. Also, the person suffering with OCD typically...

I personally know someone that is no longer on meds and no longer has bpd or bipolar (supported by documentation if you were wondering). The sad thing is that half the time I mention her story people get angry. She used to call me several times a day - lately I wonder if she is doing ok because...

I encourage you to read my other posts about this subject. For now I will say, the entire premise of your post is wrong. Homosexuality is an activity people do and not a person. To suggest anyone is "gay" or to ask "am I gay?" implies that sin can be irrevocably part of a person, which I think...

What you're dealing with is actually quite simple to get over. If you are thinking of getting angry at me for saying that, I have one word of advice: don't. I have dealt with many types of OCD in the past exactly how it feels to be in the middle of what you are dealing with. By getting angry...

Now, to deal with the matters you wrote about. A man does well not to marry.[a] 2 But because there is so much immorality, every man should have his own wife, and every woman should have her own husband. 3 A man should fulfill his duty as a husband, and a woman should fulfill her duty as a...

I am disappointed by the notion that you can't change. Yes, homosexuality (that act of sin whether physically or lust in the mind) is a choice and you can choose not to do it at any time through the power of Christ. Will you still be TEMPTED afterwards? Very likely yes. But remember, temptation...
