• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You should really find a new church and distance yourself from these friends. It isn't healthy to spend time around people who pull you away from God - especially if you're beginning to question your own identity which you never second-guessed before! That is a huge warning sign that you need to make a change right now.

If Jesus were alive today, he would definitely treat LGBT people with respect, but He wouldn't be ok with them living those lifestyles. There are plenty of places in the Bible where it makes clear that sexual relationships are only supposed to be between a man and woman. This is why I suggest you find a different church as well, because if the minister is LGBT, I don't think you are hearing biblical teaching.

Be yourself-who God created you to be. Trying to please everyone or being all things to all people is the sin of pride really. There's no need-you're perfect the way you are. We just need to accept and love ourselves. Then we can better love and help others as well.

am hoping to break free the minster of the lgbt is away at the moment but he makes me feel like am crazy when am not
Yeah now would be a good time I think. no sense in delaying really. I'm sure you can find a better church that actually studies and applies the Scriptures instead of trying to make it say what they want...

It sounds like the deeper issue is the bonds you’ve formed. If you’ve felt accepted and been treated well it’s understandable why separating would be hard.

I think it’s important to face our weaknesses. This doesn’t mean you’re defeated. But it does mean the area you’re struggling with most of all is the same as theirs. But they’ve accepted their behavior.

It’s inevitable that you’ll be encouraged to take a similar path. This doesn’t mean they wish to cause you pain. But your perspectives are opposite. And since this isn’t an area of strength you are susceptible to their influence much more.

If you try to please your friends you will surrender your belief. Up until this point you’ve remained as you are. But the longer you’re in their presence the greater the likelihood you’ll give in.

Have you considered the consequences? In your life, with the people you know and so on? This is a serious step. If you value your peace of mind don’t take it.
