bisexuality issues

[footprints123]

Hey everyone.
Im a 17 year old male who has been struggling with sexuality issues. Ever since i was in 2nd grade i've been attracted to the same sex. Just recently this attraction has grown more. I don't know where to turn and i cant help but feel disappointed, dirty and just down right wrong. I don't know if i can overcome this. I'll take any given advice. thank you.

Hey I'm 15 going through the same thing. All I do is pray over it and that's what you should be doing too if you aren't. Just make sure you're not watching porn, especially gay porn and make sure you aren't masturbating to any gay images. I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless you. PM me or message me if wanna talk....

<staff edit> its difficult when you are young and have urges, but you need to not concentrate on mens genitals <staff edit>. Its good to think about other things like Jesus and about pure things like the ocean. Hope this helps.

The great St Paul says:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Romans 1:26-18
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."

It is not good or acceptable to be attracted to the same sex, just in the same way it is not good or acceptable to steal or commit adultery. Homosexuality is an affront to god and judged harshly, because it is due to people being dominated by their passions. It is very irresponsible of you to say that it is ok to be attracted to the same sex.

Hey footprints,

I've been struggling a lot here especially recently with the same problem. For me it stems from an adversity to bond emotionally with women. I don't know why I just never have you know, but one thing that I thought about while reading your post is that we aren't alone and I mean that on both sides. Many women struggle with the same things we do. I don't understand the reason but we have to know that God has put and/or allowed these things inside us for a reason and if we trust Him to show us why I think we'll all find the answers. God said, "do not lie with a man as you would lie with a woman." I don't think He meant it any other way and I think that it applies to both sides. For women, don't lie with a woman as you would lie with a man is also true.

I think that in our society people have gotten accustomed to women being sexually active with other women. The majority of the men you run into are all about "lesbien action" but that is just as bad in God sight as males being sexually active with other males. Society doesn't bind us to doing what is right in many cases but the word of God does. We have to trust that what He has written and commanded us to do is right. Follow Him first and formost and let society take what they want from it. Just remember that you are not alone in both sides.

But sexual immorality goes beyond that. Don't mess with yourself either. I know it's hard not to, trust me. I've been doing that for as long as I can remember but stand strong and ask God to comfort you instead of seeking comfort ourselves.

Points to remember.
"Do not lie with a man as you would lie with a woman." make that a foundation in your life

Know that you are not alone and that many others in your life struggle with the same things.

Know that your confession was heard and God is sending aid. He's not going to ignore you.

And last but not least your confession has helped me to.

God bless man and take care.

Nate

footprints and dannyray,

As has been said above, you are not alone. I will be praying for you both, that God works mightily within you. Don't give up, don't give in. Be faithful and God will do amazing things. Feel free to PM me if you want. I'll give any advice I can.

it is a good thing that you have come to this realization at an early age. I have suffered from the same issue most of my life. now at 52 I have taken it out of my
hand and place it where I should have 40years ago. God is the 1 and olny answer.
By his grace I know that I will be set free. god be with you my young bro. in Christ.

footprints123,I would advise you to take absolute answers from those who gave them. It is true God knows all about you, but His servants do not. They cannot get into your head. The most they can do is claim they do not need to because God has already spoken on this. I do not doubt their sincerity. This is a very difficult issue for Christians to deal with. In Div School Trinity International U. sexual immorality was a big concern. Wisdom observed this was the greatest most powerful attack the enemy made against his servants. I had a Missions professor of no small note who was in a relationship with a trinity college student, but he was married. Countless stories were told of pastors being caught with porn. Of course the hottest topic of all was the homosexual thing. I was the vilest of the wicked. I am bi, a transsexual and hated myself for it. I&#8217;ve been healed by countless prayers, pastors, Christian counselors, Christian shrinks. At the age of 3 I gave not thhttp://www.christianforums.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=57473786ought of my likes and the way I acted. At the age of 10 or so I learned it was evil and disgusting. I was deserved to be laughed at and despised. Then I came to Christ and was healed. Healings never lasted more than 2 weeks before I made a choice to essentially turn my back to God and return to evil ways.
After 48 years, I gave up and accepted myself as I am. I&#8217;m not say God made a mistake any more so than a pastor who advises sending an autistic child to a non-Christian professional for help or for that matter a pastor who wears a hair piece. We all just try to be the best we can even if sometimes it makes us feel better
Our type of sin is a lot more common than most are willing to admit and the reason it&#8217;s such a big deal. I used to get panic attacks when the gay thing or the fem thing came up in sermons. Often the sermons were angry calls to action urging us to fight Satan&#8217;s hold on society. I panicked because the call was to fight me. Finally started to wonder why they were so angry.
Dear friend, before you can be honest to God, you need to be honest to yourself. It is easier to say I hate this boy/boy thing than to admit that as much as you hate it and cannot control it, you can&#8217;t help loving it.
This is called confession. It is a tool we have in our walk with Christ. Telling God you are wrong and hate yourself, will try better, .. is not confession. Confession is saying something like, &#8220;Lord, I have a friend and when I see him I; I like these feelings; this is making me sad; Why did you do this to me? Do you hate me? Does this make you laugh or something?
God knows the truth, do not fear you will shock him or get him angry. He is God.
Love
Kimberly
