I don't know what to tell them..

I had to tell my friend How I wasn't going to try and identify as pansexual anymore. He claimed I am like an old woman when it comes to religion and to choose my own path. Nothing I say is making a difference. I feel a little bad about it

Be proud of your morals and your desire to please God, for it will be rewarded by Him if you do. The Father gave you free will to make choices like this. Do you want to walk in blessings or in troubles? I think that is a simple choice. Will you choose the love of your friend over the love of God? If they are true friends who really love you, they will accept you just the way you are. There is a reverse prejudice that gay and bi people hang onto. They think that we should love and accept them, and they/we don't realize that we should hold them to the same standards. They need to accept our desires to honor and please God and if they are good friends they will see it your way too.

I have asked a few other Christians and looked up the verses they gave me and concluded that homosexuality is a sin. I just have so many people I communicate with including siblings that think I still support it when I don't. I am unsure What to say when they ask me my opinion on it or What to say when I tell them I will only date males and ignore being attracted to females, that I will no longer identify as bisexual or pansexual. Does anyone have any advice on How I should respond when these topics are brought up to me? I'm worried they will dislike and ignore me

You could tell them you flirted with the idea, but you realized that it was wrong.

There shouldn't be any need to elaborate further; and whatever internal feelings you might have don't need to be discussed, nor should they matter to your relatives, so long as you don't contradict yourself and cause them to wonder if you meant what you said to them.

if he is upset then he feels your changing affects him somehow. he probably feels like your leaving him or betraying him or against him. express your love for him.

Hi. ALL true Followers of Christ (which means God and the Bible) SHALL BE persecuted for taking a stand for righteousness and what God has to say on matters. Remember, we live in an immoral unethical society and no one is going to clap their hands when you expose the lies of our culture regarding lifestyles. So, you really need to get used to be ostracized for your Christian walk. If someone asks you what you think of this or that..then simply tell them that you have come to realize that the Bible is the absolute truth on matters and therefore you believe that ________________________ is wrong (or right) .

And..when you get ignored or disliked, remember they did the same to Christ who didn't do a thing wrong or who never harmed anyone. That is the depravity of mankind. Embrace it and dig your stilletos in and be a Soldier for Christ. As you grow with God, it will become second nature to take bad comments from others. But yuoull be rewarded in heaven I promise you .

don't make enemies, when you take away that persons innocence you are demanding that they be your enemy which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Don't assume peopl are evil or are your enemy, that will cause what your trying to prevent. Good vs Evil is not all you need to percieve.
