i've been struggling with this for a long time. I became a christian at 19, i'm 25 now. I strongly believe homosexuality is a sin. I don't think it's chosen but i do believe that sex should be between a man and woman. But here's the problem. I'm a lesbian. I know all the scriptures for homosexuality by heart. I study my bible intensely, and I have faith in God. But I don't understand, why was I plagued with this sin. I have prayed to God since I was 8 to take the feelings away. I have not given into the desires mostly because the only women I'm attracted to are christian women and I will NOT be the cause for them to sin. I will not knowingly lead someone down the wrong path. But what do I do? I'm confused. How can I have these feelings when I'm doing everything, I mean EVERYTHING that we're supposed to do. I love Jesus sooo much that I ask him to take me home rather than live in this shame. What do I do? Please, Christians only answer. I'm really serious.

I don't have an answer for you but truly admire you. Being a Christian lesbian must be soooo difficult. As a Christian, I sure don't judge you as I know others in your shoes.

How does God refine us? By testing us. That either makes us stronger or weaker. The testing is to improve our character (if we do the right thing).
