• 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.

Hello,

I am a 61 year old man, I want to be a good Christian but I believe I am homosexual. I don't want to be homosexual I want to be straight, but I have never had a girlfriend and women are clearly not interested in me. How do I sort this out? Is God unhappy with me? Am I sinning?

I have been involved with mediumship for many years and spirits have told me that homosexuality is a sin. I don't want to go to hell. Please let me know what I can do?

It's a cross u have to bare. Some people have no arms it's the way it is but to please God you can't act. No he isn't mad u didn't choose it. You just have to learn to live with it. I'm attracted to women but I married a man. Sex isn't the best but I don't want to act and go to hell. Pm me if u want to chat.

While lustful thoughts are a sin, Not engaging in homosexual acts is not a sin. Also if you are worried about going to hell you can become a true Christian! If you follow the instructions below wonderful things will happen when you finally believe and accept our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Once you are saved and you believe it within your heart you will not have to fear going to hell. Your journey will still be hard but if you pray to God, talk to him, ask him for help and guidance he will help you! That being said, you should not use it as "fire insurance" as my husband like to call it, accepting Christ only to try to steer clear of hell, and continue to live your life as a happy sinner. To be truly saved there has to be true repentance as well as a willingness to turn from your sinful ways and try your hardest to reject the sins that burden you. You and God will know if it is true:) That being said, I used to consider myself bisexual. I eventually married my husband and became truly saved and it took me a while to figure out that those years of my life I was living in complete and total sin....I became ashamed of my actions and so embarrassed. Im not perfect and still have to keep myself from not looking lustfully at another woman once in a while but when it happens I pray to God to help me keep my thoughts pure.
there is a link up in the top right hand corner that says "Be a Christian" You should click on that for proper instructions to accept Christ as your savior!
God Bless

Let's see here.

1. It's a good thing that you seem to be convicted to not sin.

2. Where is the conviction coming from? If I'm reading this right, some spirits are telling you this via a medium? Is this accurate?

If that's true, you're not going to find release from sin through that means. Dabbling in the "spirit world" outside of the biblical structure is going to do just the opposite - it will make you an easy target for demonic spirits.

If you're finding your heart seriously convicted to turn away from sin, talk to a local clergy member or ask for guidance and support here and you will be supported and guided to learn and grow in Christ.
