**Please don't say there is no God** Ok here's what's going on. I have tried to follow the Bible to its exact word and follow everything that He wants of me. BUT ever since I was a kid I have started to have feelings towards the same sex. I have prayed to Him. I have tried everything He asked of me but I can't possibly change. Even telling myself that I will go to hell couldn't change me but then I thought, "God made me for a reason and he has a master plan. Since God is all loving, why would He make me this way if his intent was to send me to hell right when I was born?" Please can anyone out there explain if I am going to hell or not? I really really don't want to go there.

Dont worry you are not going to Hell, there is no Hell. God sends our soul here to learn and grown and to try to live a spiritual life and be closer to him. We each chart our life before we are born. You may have charted the course for being gay. There is nothing wrong with that except there is lesssons you must learn. What are those lessons: being poor, fear, poor health, death, pain and sorrow, patience, forgiveness, wisdom, and there is a whole list. God whats you to be you and help people and try to be more like him. He does not judge you, you only judge yourself.
Hell is just a word humanity made up to scare people to be good. If you came to this plane with an evil spirit that is different but you sound to me like you believe in God and if you can love your spirit is not evil.
I believe some are born gay, it is written in their chart. Follow your chart and lead a good life following the ten commandments. When you die you go to the other side (heaven) just like all of us. There you will review your life and see how it matches your chart. Then you and your mentors will decide if you need to come back.
Read any book by Sylvia Browne. The main one you need to read is The Other Side and Back. It will open you eyes. She wrote this book like all her books with her spirit guides help. He is from heaven and guides her. Good Luck

Dear German Dude, I would like to take this issue very sensitivly and very seriously. I had a similar problem, except my problem was that I was addicted to porn. I called myself a christian, but I continued in sin and i couldnt let it go. what I had to realize is that the BIble says "if you continue in sin, your of the Devil." There was an underlying problem, I needed to examine myself to make sure that I was saved. I wouldlike to do that with you now. Please open, patien and Honest as we go through the following examination.
Do you Consider yourself to be a good person?
Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; have you ever hated someone? The BIble says "he who hates his brother is a murderer." Please be open and Honest, Listen to your conscience, if God judged you by this standard on the day of judgement, would you be innocent or Guilty? If we have broken those commandments we would be guilty, we have sinned against a Holy God, and the BIble says the punishment for our sin is death and hell. But God has done something for you so that you can be forgiven, do you know what that is? I would like to tell you, He sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. In other words, you broke the Law and Jesus paid your fine. Thats How much God loved you, he is merciful, and If you will Repent (turn from sin) and put your faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and savior, God will forgive you and grant you the gift of everlasting life. So heres what you do..... get low before God, Think about your sins, and think of Jesus dying for you and fall to your knees and plead for forgiveness. God is faithful and he will save you. Once your saved God will give you a new heart with new desires, and he wil give you the strenght to say no to your temptation, and live a Holy life.
God Bless

Hello, my question is to you to you. Do you believe the bible is the word of God? If yes, than if you pray to God; Do you wait to hear from God? I was gay for about 8 years. I was separted from my husband who was apart of my homosexuality. I was way out there. I was always in the doctor office for various diseases. I continue to be permissible until I met my future husband(who was my boyfriend at the time) and one day still in sin I have a bad dream. In the dream God left me see my boyfriend getting saved after I have died on my way to hell because I didn't break up with him. So after the dream I broke up with him. Years later we were both in a Pentecostal Church and God deliver us both. The devil will alway tried your faith in Jesus Christ, but now I have Jesus power to turn it down. I was so happy God gave me the strength.
I hope this help you.

Your delusional in your belief in a God. There is NOTHING wrong with you, if your gay that's o.k. Stop letting religion direct your life and start thinking for yourself. Ask different questions, and you will discover how wonderful the world really is without the belief in a deity.
The only evil in the world is from those who would try and control people for their own benifit. What do you think is worse, a church that would condem you to hell, or an athiest that would support and welcome you as a fellow human. By the way I'm not gay, I have a wife and three children.

I am so sorry that you are in such pain. Eventually you will be at peace. You are going through a difficult time in your life as we all do and you will work it out. There is a God and He is all loving. He is with you at this difficult time. Read Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus had a message of love. Not comdenation. I believe that God loves all the diversity He created. I follow the spirit of the law not the letter. I refuse to believe that God is that small. See you in heaven.

I'm not going to say that God is not real, but I am going to say the the idea of hell is not real.
God loves you unconditionally.
Unconditional means no conditions are necessary for you to qualify for God's love.
I suggest you think of religion as a lie that you have been told about God.
There is a book called the course in miracles that might help you to realise that much of what religion says about God is false and contradictory.
Email if you need some help locating a copy.
Reread what sevenlights had to say. He understands how it works.

We are all born into a state of sin. Our desires are not what leads us to Hell, but our actions on these desires. Let me tell you a story. All my male and some of my female famliy are over 6 feet and close to or over 200 pounds. I was born to a crack and alcoho addicted mother, was almost always poor. When I was born I was 7 pounds and 7 ounces, and was born with a condicion called a server deformity club foot. I was in a cast for day one and had to go through 7 operations form 2 years old to 12. At the age of 19 I was 5 ft. 6, and 113 pounds. There has been times when I hated my self and wandered why god would make me a cripple. I spent my youth and teen years trying to make my self feel as good as others by beating them up. By the time I was 19 I had 16 adult arrainments and was sentenced to 57 mouths in prison. I actually got 12 years but because the judge ran some of my time concorent I only had to serve 57 months. I tried foot ball couldn't run, shoilin long fist, couldn't do the standses, boxing, couldn't get the foot work. I hated my self and thought I was cursed by God.I'm 27 now and for most of my teen years I believed I was going to hell anyways so when I get there I was going to take it over. So I lived my life hating everyone, selling drugs, shooting guns all that, but deep down I knew that I loved. For no good reason I found my self doing this "out of character" like feeling sorry for hungry people things like that, and I hated my self even more and thought my self weak which made me even madder. Then one day I just got bailed out of jail for assault and battery, and was heading to the block to sell some drugs to get my bail money back, when someone was standing in the drive way. I walk up to him to see what was up, when he said to me,"God has a message for you." I laught at him and said, "Oh yeah, what does God got to say to me?" And the man said," He says " I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DO AND WHY YOU DO IT, YOUR SPEICAL AND THE DEVIL WANTS YOU, KEEK YOUR FAITH." I laughed again and the man looked up and said "Am I lying?" and as God as my wittness a giant cloud came and thundered 3 times. The point is this I realised that we as God's chosen elect, which you are, we all have our own trial and struggles we MUST over come. I realise now that EVERYTHING I ever went through was to mold me into me. I no longer have to be a "killer", I can be the loving being that God created me to be. I believe that God made me the way i am because if i was any differant i would not be who I am RIGHT now. Now I speak to youths and there parents about self esteem and gang and drug violents. So i leave you with this, no matter what you see and feel, follow God, believe in Jesus and learn to see your self the way that God does, and read this. Job 42:1-3 in the N.I.V. Nothing you or anyone else can do, can mess up God's plan for your life. The enemy wants you to think bad about your self and to dout God. Always trust God. Always. I pray you found encouragement in this. God bless.

If you have accepted Jesus as your savior, and are sincere in asking God for his help, then no i dont believe your going to Hell. God loves you so much and He knows what your feeling and struggling with, stop beating yourself up.
Keep holding Gods hand and he will deliver you, I'll be praying for you. God bless you.

Trying to be good does not get you into heaven. Actually everyone deserves to go to hell (even I) because we are all sinners. But God is offering you a gift (the gift of salvation) If you accept it, you are guarantied a spot in heaven.
Those who accept Jesus is saved. Because he took the punishment that we all deserve.
Tying to follow the law won't save you. The Law was only made so you can acknowledge that you are a sinner and need forgiveness. Put your trust in Jesus and you are forgiven.
