I've grew up in the church, I still am in the church. Pride month was last month and once again my lasted did his service on homosexuality, All he says about it is true which makes it worst for me. I know better. But yet I continue to have feelings for women and other homosexual behavior.

I'm 12-15 (Not giving real age) And I've had feelings for girls since 2 grade. That's the earliest thing I can remember. There was this one time in 2nd grade where I wanted to be "Friends" with this very pretty girl and was holding hands with her. That's when it started, a small homosexual spark that's now a wildfire I can't control.

None of the adults in my life know about this (Except teachers) I have kissed a girl, Nothing past that. The sad thing is that I WANT to go past that. I can't to have sex with a female the only thing that's stopping me is knowing that once I go there I can't turn back. I currently Saying pansexual (Which means you like someone regardless of gender identification or like expanded Bisexual) And I've tried to say I'm straight and get my mind on the right path, But it's hard.

I've never like guys, And I know I don't have to worry about any type of love life but it worries me. I get scared that if I don't figure this out while I'm young then I won't ever fix it when in grow. I can't built a chain with a weak link. Being homosexual is like smoking, Once you get a taste and you figure you like it you keep doing it and doing it and doing it till even if you really want to quit you cant.

I know people makes excuses like "God made me this way" and "I was born a homo" but I do feel like that's not true. God wouldn't make you a sinner (Besides being born one) He wouldn't choose a path that takes you to hell. I do wish I could come out and not be put up with the homophobia but I know if I came out and they accepted me I would become more comfortable in the spot im in.

I am in a relationship and I did take her to my church and she is Christian, but she doesn't know I want to stop being homosexual, I don't wanna stop loving her. I want to spend the end with her which makes is 20 times more complicated. 😥

Any Advice??

EDIT: I'm not here to have the whole "Homosexuality is not a sin" Debate you can send me links but what I think about THAT is certain.

This is a long shot but i am very new in my walk with Christ and i am really wanting to get to know more about God and grow in my faith, problem is i cannot afford a bible so i was wondering if anyone knows of any places that give out free bibles that yall can recommend.

Over the past 2 years, I've been feeling extremely lonely, empty, and just unsatisfied. In middle to high school, I've had few friends, and as time has gone on, I've gotten fewer and fewer friends, and generally just fewer people to talk to. As a result, I started looking for things to fill the hole I've been missing. I had an extremely heavy fall into lust and a porn addiction. And as of now, while I'm still dealing with the consequences of it, it's gotten better, glory to God.

It wasn't until I came to God that I felt as if I needed a relationship, or a significant other, in order not to feel lonely. After a few failed attempts later on, I started to realize that I don't need a girlfriend if I'm going to drag her down with my own struggles, as I still wasn't over my addiction, nor did I have anyone to really talk to. I tried beg God to make me to where I would be ready, but I would still defy him. I still didn't do what I was supposed to do with little responsibilities; I still lusted, even deep down I knew I wasn't ready.

It wasn't until I met someone online that I was immediately smitten. To me, she was great, and we hit it off quickly. Despite being so different, we fit each other so well. We were in a long-distance relationship, but recently she started to not only have issues with her mental health, but I was also displeased because of the distance between us.

I've never liked long-distance relationships due to personal reasons and previous bad experiences, and I feel like as if this was a lesson from God about why I'm still not ready for a significant other yet, as not only can I not see her, but I also cannot help her. I'm not equipped to handle her mental health problems, and mine. I'm not where I want to be with my body, my studies, or with God yet; I rushed into a relationship thinking that it would fix me, only to hurt me and her.

As I get ready to split up with her and go back to being single, I look at the future with fear and anxiety. I'm scared of being alone again; I'm scared of having no one to talk to. I have little to no social circle due to my parents controlling where I go and who I talk to, having little to no serious friends at school or work, and being unable to go to church and talk with a priest. I feel as if this is all that I have.

Please give me advice; any is helpful. I feel as if I've disappointed God, and that I've let him down for being so impulsive and letting my lust and loneliness ruin what could have been a great relationship. I don't expect anyone to read everything, let alone see this post, as I've always been like a wandering ghost online, but it's worth a try. Thank you.

I've had same-sex attraction my entire life but until now I've just ignored and denied it and I've prayed and prayed for it to go away but it will never go away. In high school right now it really sucks never dating anyone or doing anything romantic whatsoever. I don't really see a path forward in my life where I don't fall into extreme hopelessness, loneliness, and no idea what to do with my life.

Many straight Christians like to say it's just a choice or they brush it off or don't know how to help. I'm alone and don't have friends either. I've tried for so long to make good friends that I actually feel comfortable with but they all fail or hurt me or I end up catching feelings for them and it ends in a horrible mess. The only person I am decently good friends with I just really don't want to talk about this with because I don't feel comfortable with her at all and we'll probably drift apart after high school anyway.

If you're straight, you don't think about how much of your life revolves around the fact that you're attracted to the opposite sex. It allows you to have a companion for life, have kids and start a family, feel loved and accepted and provided for. After a long day of work you can come home and spend time with your family, plan vacations together, do stuff together, have intimacy and romance, etc. Almost everything meaningful in your life is because of that.

If I follow the Bible on this, it's not just "don't have gay sex" or "don't get married to a man" but it inevitably means that I will:

- Live alone, which would be torture for me and my literal biggest fear
- Have no kids and no family
- Spend the vast majority of my time outside of work alone, because I don't and won't even have any friends and even if I do they'll be married and be having kids and can't spend time with me 24/7 so i wouldn't feel supported at all.
- I'll be surrounded by no family on my deathbed, and die alone - I'll never get to go on vacations and explore the world because I'll be alone - I'll die a virgin and never even kiss someone - I can't be provided for or have someone to help me if I get sick or injured. - I have to pay and buy things all on my own

Loneliness is the worst thing for me, I don't think it will even be worth living anymore once my family dies or I don't see them often, or when the friends I do have or even ever have get married and don't have time to spend with me

As for God, I've prayed and tried so many times for him to give me discernment but I just don't understand why he would make me this way. Honestly there's just no point to life anymore

I’m just now getting into studying and finding new friends who will help me while I also help them would very much benefit both of us , I already got one friend who’s learning to study and just use taking and making the time for the Lord would help so much.

Hi! My name is Landon and I’m looking for a nice Christian friend who would like to message on here and if you’d like, play my favorite game Supremacy World War 3 with me.

I brush my teeth then read my bible and pray!
