Yes...I am a christian...but im searching for the living God at the same time. Im having a hard time finding Him in basic christianity. Can you look past my moon and karma questions and be patient with me you guys that seem to be getting nervous at some of my questions about Him, my sexuality, my desires, etc. ? Im just being real and honest. Im having alot of spiritual expeiences as if He is reaching out to me and Im trying to understand what they mean. Im starving for truth and the kiss of Jesus.

Keep looking, you may never find an answer to all of your questions but that doesn't mean you shouldn't look.

I'm a Christian guy -- I know what struggles are out there -- trust me.
I don't really see a discrete question there, but I felt the need to post anyway -- it seems like you're genuinely looking for something, but you can't seem to find it. Don't worry, it's good that you're looking, and specifically that you're looking for it in Christianity. You might not be finding the answers right now, but they are there -- and no, I'm not going to accuse you of not looking hard enough, or not being spiritual enough, or not "being chosen" (in a Calvinistic sense). I encourage you to keep looking for truth, but don't ever feel like your behind.
I don't really know what to tell you, other than I agree with you that other people's sharp criticisms aren't very Christ-like at all.
You're being real. That's good. Always be real. Anything, even Christianity, is meaningless unless it's real.
If you'd like, you can contact me though email and I can try to help that way -- but if not I totally understand how that could be weird.

Desire is confusing, that's why the great Buddha said the first stage towards enlightenment is to set aside all of your desires, and contemplate peace. On the other hand, keep one desire as you contemplate, and that would be to understand the Christ spiritual, for that seems to be your path. Honestly, find a pastor, a real Christian, you will know them when you see them. You may have already seen them in your mind, and talk with them about the living God and God coming alive in your life.

seek ye 1st the kingdom of God.... I hear you . i have to respect a woman who has honest questions and wants real answers. please, do not get hooked by any specific religion. instead, strive for a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have not yet, find a good Bible believing church that teaches from the bible, not opinion.
we all have the same struggles. When Jesus came to earth, He also had these urges. He was able to be true to His role. I lknow, a bit easier to do WHEN U ARE GOD!!!! but as for the rest of us, the Bible tells us we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!
God did not give us sexual urges and other desires to frustrate us. He gave us desires and will provide for their appropriat efulfillment if we follow hIm.
1st - read through the new testement. i recommend beginning w the gospel of john. next, go onto the christian apologetics research ministry website. they have sound doctrine and excellent links.
good luck on your journey for the truth - God bless!

BE CAREFUL!
You have been playing in a dark world and Satan has a real hold on you. He will not let you go easily but you can be set free by Jesus.
If you are experiencing any type of "spiritual sex" you are in grave danger! That is NOT Jesus!
2Co 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself is disguised as an angel of light.
Call out to Jesus and ask Him to protect you as you begin to learn about Him. Ask Jesus to break the chains that the devil has on you. If you truly desire Jesus, you MUST stop all activity in witchcraft, horoscopes, astrology, any type of spiritism and avoid everyone who is still associated with it.
Get a bible and read through the New Testament. Read it again.
Every time you come to a verse that you think is speaking to you specifically, stop and pray, ask Jesus for help, ask His Holy Spirit for guidance.
Find some sincere Christian Believers in your area and have them pray with you. Ask them for guidance. Someone very close to you is a sincere believer and has been praying for you. NOW is the time for you to listen to what they have to say.

Well, I think you would be better off kissing the boy next door than waiting for Jesus to kiss you. Too many women think their repressed sexuality is religious fervor. So get outside, do sports, get into some normal girly things and stop dwelling on Jesus kissing you.
I have a woman friend who told me that after years of rolling on the floor, talking in tongues and getting the holy ghost at church, that when she remarried she found out it was orgasms she had been having at church all those years.

You are just young. Relax, it's not that complicated. Things will work themselves out. Don't try to rush yourself. You do not need to find all the answers out now. Life is what happens while you are trying to make plans.
This is a phase in your life just like the last phase and the next phase. There are things that you learn now that will help you for the rest of your life. There are things that you learn now that will be useless now and forever. The point is that you may feel that you need to know these things to continue on your journey. You don't.
The truth is that none of us know the answers. Some may claim to, some may seem to, some may say they do.. We are all wandering and looking.
Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Relax...and have fun.

I was raised in christian home, yet I know what it's like to be confused. . .about my sexuality, my desires, church. . .and God knows that. But He's not giving up on me--and He won't give up on you. He wants to have a relationship with you. But let me say this, if you believe in God, you have to know THERE IS a devil out there who wants us to be confused.
There are so many religions and churches and they all say they're right and everyone else is wrong. It's no wonder that so many people are confused. You should just sincerely ask God to help you understand. God warns us that there will be many false teachers. You have to read the Bible for yourself. God wants you to know the truth. Pray that God will direct you to the right church.

God created the men,and browed on the men a very little part of His Spirit,after that the men begin to live.
In each men God Lives.(Is the beautiful part of the men soul).
If you a starving for truth and the kiss of Jesus,please speak in your mind to Jesus,He is also your friend and will answer to you,if you are sincere.

Most peoples 'doctrine' is neither inspired nor read. Some of this is not even Biblical. Take drinking for example. The Bible clearly states that if you are not the head of a church, you can drink. I've heard everything under the sun about why alcohol is bad and sinful, yet none of it is Biblical. It's sad really that people that randomly preach in passing are so quick to take something that they've heard in their childhood and pass it along as scripture.

I don't know how you feel about it... but I think church is more of a scam than anything. I know people are going to get pissy about that one, but just because you went to school for it does NOT mean you can tell me what the Bible says. Read it for yourself, take everything with a grain of salt and understand it for yourself.
God is everywhere and as long as you life your life as a good person (what you know to be good), you'll find him. God won't condem you because you are confused and exploring... its part of growing up. Why else do you think the church took out all the parts about Jesus growing up? It was hard on him to ya know!
