Everything is about to unravel...(Moved from Christian Advice)

I noticed the pentecostal icon on your profile. Have you been baptised in the Holy Spirit?

Yes I have - a few years ago. I speak in tongues too... if thats relevant?

jason, i guess i am still not clear on what kind of help you want.

Please read these WORDS slowly and digest their meaning:

I hope now you will understand why this homo needs no help, as he refuses to help himself. I sure hope he doesn't draw you into his snare, or has he already?

Are you serious?! His "snare"? What do you think he's going to trap me into being a homosexual? How EXACTLY would you propose he help himself? Tell me, no tell us, what exactly does he need to do in order to help himself? Apparently you have the cure for homosexuality, and I'm sure there are innumerable people who would LOVE to know what it is.

Let's see if I have a little bit of an understanding of how he helps himself... He simply stops having those thoughts, end of discussion. Is that pretty close to accurate?

He came asking for help. If you don't want to offer any kind of help aside from scriptures which don't really fit the situation, fine. If you feel a call to turn him over to satan, fine. I don't.

Its ok to be in love with someone...male or female. That isn't a sin. I think it was Nathan, friend of Kind david who said (something like) my love for you is greater than the love for a woman' (sorry for the poor memory). The problem is with gay sex. God doesn't allow for it. Thats what you have to live with, there is no way to interpret it differently. God loves you with all your flaws. Where would we be if it were not so. Homosexuality is no worse than any other sexual sin and in my opinion adultery is far worse since it involves betrayal of a promise, but thats a different story. Hope you work it out. I am not sure about 'coming out' as such: I wouldn't want to define myself by my sexuality. I have had some homo-erotc fantasies occasionally (so I am say 10% bi maybe? but I dont find men attractive per se) but think thats my business and Gods. I wouldnt want to come out and say: I am 10% bi or whatever. Cross each bridge when you come to it. For instance if your mother nags you: when are you going to get a grilfriend, you could be open about it.
