Whoops, I meant:

EDIT: Interesting, Servant of God... you first put "God" instead of "Gay" as being a lust...
Freudian Slip, perhaps?

Why don't you try asking God yourself. The best way to find out the truth is to ask God yourself. The trick is to make sure that when you speak to God that you do it with an honest heart. So for example: " God, I think I'm Gay I'm not sure....would you still accept me if I am Gay?" After you've asked that question, write down on a piece of paper the answer you got back. The answer will come back as an acutal intuitive feeling or you make receive actual words or thoughts back from Him. Instead of looking to other people that think they can answer for God ask yourself. I guarantee that you will get an answer back. Good Luck!! I know you can do it!!!! ; )

What makes you think you are gay? Don't fall into the traps of society that says being gay is just o.k, this is just a state of mind. God loves you regardless, however this is not his plans for your life. There are numerous sections in the bible that denounce homosexuality. The urge maybe strong, just as the urge for addicts of different sorts, but with prayer you can overcome. The devil will play mind tricks but when you are in constant prayer and don't give in to temptation he will turn away because he will see that his attempts are futile. Pray and have others pray for you. I will keep you in my prayer.
There is salvation through Jesus Christ irregardless of your sins. The bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. If you read the bible and strive to include God in your life through prayer and stop believing the lies of the evil one, you can be saved. Homosexuality isn't God's direction for our lives. Read the book of Romans 1:26-32, 2:23-24 & 1 Corinthians 6:9, 15-20 & Genesis 19:1-13. Homosexuality is a perversion of God's plan and is a lie planted by the devil to lead people away from the love of God.
The bible states there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Homosexuality is a desire of the flesh, not the spirit.

God made you so of course he accepts you. Didn't God create man in his image? Gay is no less his image than straight.
Some churches and closed minded bigots won't accept you, but remember THEY are not God. Only God speaks for God. Religions speak for the humans that are participants in them.
Find a different path to God if your current church preaches hate.
Didn't Jesus preach love? So why do so many preach hate in his name?
Incidentally, the Hebrew passages used to condemn homosexuality are subject to interpretation and because the actual Hebrew words used to write them have multiple meanings, they do NOT necessarily condemn homosexuality. I have read where the same passages read using alternate interpretations do not construe the same meaning.
In other words, some humans who run some churches have used certain translations that have chosen to interpret those words as anti-gay. That's an assumption of the meaning not fact.
There is NO evidence the bible condemns homosexuality.

God accepts everyone just as they are, but He loves you too much to leave you there.
If you admit you have sinned (any sin) and ask God for the forgiveness made possible by the work of Jesus Christ, you are His!
As you grow in your faith, you will discover things about yourself that God wants you to change. He knows the more you become like Christ, the more contented and joyful you will be.

It does say in the Bible that God intended on Male and Female together but there's a lot of gays these days if you get saved and everything and are still faithful to God you'll most likely still go to heaven. and you said you "think'" your gay it doesn't mean you'll be like that in the end . I say you should be what you want maybe you could be BI and be with both sexes to see what you like more!!:)
whatever u do just keep believin' and it'll be good in the end!!:)

Dear Gay...you can see the 'human' answers, which are all meant well, but are not scriptual...You are right being concerned about your sexual preference and I urge you to try to lead a normal life, the way God has intended us to live...as Jesus/God abhors homosexuals (thats in the Bible!) And as I can see there may be hope, as you are not even sure whether you are gay or not...

God loves you and accepts you just as you are. Any lack of acceptance that you feel comes from people, not from God.

TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN
It's a process over time, it's not going to happen overnight. But there are steps to take. First pray and ask the Father into your heart (mind) and life. Ask for change of you. Ask for guidance and direction. Ask for forgiveness of your sins. Do all this in Jesus name (authority).
Come to the reality that as long as you dwell in the flesh body you are going to fall short. All are sinners. Repentance is a change of mind not a license to sin. Perfection is maturity or full age in His Word. We are to produce fruit and glorify Christ.
His Word is an life learning process. Trust this man or no man unless you check it out in His Word. I've been at it earnestly for 16 years. I'm producing fruit but feel I'm still in the process. Don’t clean house (clean up your act) without filling that void with the Word of God.
Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
By the way, born again means born from above, check it out.

Though I personally do not believe in a god, I am told that God loves all of His children no matter what.
But, as I am sure you have seen for yourself, there are a lot of so-called Christians that are very quick to condemn those whom are different from themselves.
To them you say, "He who is without sin shall cast the first stone."
