can i b catholic and might b bisexual too?

Question

i'm Catholic and really believe in my religion, but i might b bisexual too. I'm still a virgin since I follow my beliefs; I'm 21. Its being hard since all girls want to sleep w me cause of my looks, but i've managed to still stay virgin. Well the problem is that when i was a kid i use to have sexual relations with another little boy and that is why i'm confused...i was like 8 he was like 12. Well we didnt have sexual relations because there was never intercourse or something to the extent, it was like a game.. is this normal?

Answer 1

You could be a priest

Answer 2

Catholic here:

Sounds like you're causing yourself needless confusion. Whatever happened when you were 8 was a long time ago. Kids do crazy things and it usually doesn't mean anything. Have you had any other homosexual experiences since then? If not, then I'd say quit worrying about it.

I will say God bless so much for your decision to remain pure and chaste. You make God's heart smile. I'm a bit older than you and I, too, have maintained my virginity (I know your pain, LOL). Stay with it. You're saving yourself a lot of pain and heartache. I can't tell you how many times I've had the opportunity to do otherwise, but I didn't. One thing I know for sure, I don't have any weird diseases and no illegitimate children and I like it that way.

If you feel the need to talk to a counselor or priest, do so. Make sure, though, that your counselor is a devoted Catholic so that whatever advice they give you will be based on the Faith. You don't need somebody telling you some garbage like you're a closet homo and possibly need to explore your sexuality.

Stay the course. You'll be fine.

Take care, and God bless.

Answer 3

Experimentation as a youngster does not mean you are bi-sexual. It is very common and comes more from curiosity than sexual desire. As far as being a Catholic is concerned, I don't think that would matter. You are living up to God's command for purity at this point and I hope you will continue do to so until you are married. Don't let some of the smark aleck answers on here make you think less of yourself or your faith. Although I am not Catholic and do not agree with many of the Catholic ways, I would rather see you be a good Christian Catholic than a bad anything else. God Bless and keep the faith hon.

Answer 4

This happens very often
If you understand the Catholic Faith then you know that this is a disorder. What happen to you is the devils way to subvert your belief, Stay strong in the faith and ignore that temptation that has been put in you at an early age. Pray the Holy Rosary and ask Mary to help you and She will as long as you are faithful

I've gone through the same thing but worse see if you can speak to your priest, do not be afraid it will help. God Bless

Answer 5

Are you sure you're bi or you just say it because you are probably traumatized because of what happened when you were younger? Beause let me tell you I'm a Catholic, a virgin also and follow my beliefs and the same thing as you happened to me. I did some things I shouldn't have when I was younger with another girl and I'm not bi. Just talk to a priest about it, I did.

Answer 6

HEY, Listen to TG.

I would answer, but I will have the SAME answer as he said.

You can't be a Chrsitian and be a Practicing Bi Sexual. Its an abomination. As with all sins done willfully. You must repent and take it out of your mind.

Sin starts in the mind. If your lusting after it, eventually you will want it, and figure out a way to get it.

Don't let the lust burn in your heart, pray to the Father in the name of Jesus to help you.

Gay is not right. God never made you to be gay.

WATCH OUT FOR THE PRIEST.

GOING TO A CATHOLIC PRIEST TO CONFESSION YOUR HAVNIG GAY THOUGHTS... well, you might as well put your pants down for him.

He might convince you to be with him and be more holy or something. Don't you watch the News? Serious. Pray to God. Not the Priest. We have ONE mediator for us.

That is Jesus, not the Priest. The Catholic church doesn't want you to know this Scripture ( I am an EX Catholic)

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

In othe words, we only need JESUS, to come between us and God!!!

Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Answer 7

Well at eight you probably weren't aware of your sexual orientation. You can be catholic, and bisexual too.Just don't act on it.You can be one but refuse to have relations with other women if you want to remain in your religion.To him,all sins are the same so being a liar and a thief is the same.If you stop stealing, and follow God he wont punish you.You might want to talk to your priest.

Good luck!

Answer 8

You cannot be a faithful Christian and be bisexual. Homosexuality is a sin and to be saved you must repent (turn away) from all sin.

THREE SIGNIFICANT NEW TESTAMENT PASSAGES

God, through Paul, makes it clear those who practice homosexuality will not go to heaven. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). The word for "homosexuals" comes from the Greek phrase which means "men having sexual relations." For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due (Romans 1:26,27). Note the words Paul uses in this passage: "vile," "against nature," "shameful," "error." These are not words of approval. In the context, Paul is discussing the unrighteousness of the Gentiles (Romans 1:18). But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine (1 Timothy 1:8-10). In verse 10, Paul mentions the "sodomite." This is the same Greek word that is used in 1 Corinthians 6:9 translated "homosexual."

All of these passages show us the way God views this practice. It is not approved, but condemned.

CAN THE HOMOSEXUAL BE SAVED?

God loves all people and wants all to be saved (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:4). The homosexual can be saved the same way any other sinner can be saved. They must repent and be baptized (Acts 17:30; Acts 22:16).

Then, the practice must be stopped! And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Answer 9

It is normal to be curious but you are now an adult and you should make correct decisions for your life. You need to ask Jesus to come into your heart and empower you to walk his way first by completely accepting his mercy for you then asking for his Holy spirit to fill you and start the process of becoming like Jesus. It does not mean that you stop sinning but it means that you keep turning away from sin and when you fail ask God for forgiveness and get back up again.

Answer 10

I think that you should follow your instincts and just be yourself. Don't let a religon define you. When you were with this "little boy" you probably had no idea how you were really feeling and if you actually are bisexual. If you do find someone (boy or girl) sleep with them when you feel ready and that may or may not be after you are married.

Answer 11

Well, if you're a Catholic, all ya gotta do is go to confession every week. The Priest will forgive you. But, God? Well, He knows what you're doing anyway.
