I said that technically im bisexual, but I only go with girls, and nobody knows I like guys too. I think its nasty, and I love God, so I only use those "thoughts" in the "bathroom"
I'm also already saved, and as long as I don't do anything with those sinning thoughts, then I can still go to Heaven, because I don't want to go any where with those thoughts. Right?

jinenglish68,
Obviously it is if I'm attracted to both sides. That's it, it's only attraction, I'm the only one who knows, and I am happy with my choice not to let it go any farther than attraction. OK? I've already made my choice, I'm just as much a Christian as you are, I turned my sinning ways, so I should get some slack, ok?

bassamsa,
I appreciate that you are strong in your faith, and I'm glad you try to let us know more about islam, but I didn't ask to be converted.

yeesang,'
You are right. You will go 6 feet under. It says in the Bible many times 'the dead are sleeping', and if you haven't recieved his gift, u'll just perish. Hell is only meant for the sinners sfter Judgement Day {As Hell is only mentioned in Rev.} So, u have nothing to worry about, but I'd rather accept his offer.

The rules for you are the same as those for everyone else. We must repent genuinely of our sins, begging forgiveness from the Lord. Then we must turn from the sin, no matter how strong the desire to sin again. We cannot genuinely repent and then continue in the sin.
The real question is have you turned from the sin or do you just reserve it for one room in the house? Surely you don't think He cannot see your heart when you're in the bathroom! If you love God, you know the answer in your heart already. Good luck and God bless.

"I'm not a proponent of the "once saved, always saved" theory, so you can just forget that as well."
I'm afraid I have to agree with him on that. Don't be too familiar with God or your salvation. The bible says ;
(Phi 2:12) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
The act is sin, true, but so are the thoughts...we all think bad/evil things because;
(Gen 6:5) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
But God promises to forgive if we are truly repentant and confess our sins anytime we err and try to stay away from it.
(1Jo 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
God can change you and your thoughts
"When you call on Jesus, ALL things are possible"
-Just had to add this;
You sound like you're a good Christian....bad feelings and bad thoughts don't change that. All you need to do is PRAY. It will take time (you know how God is) but He'll always come thru for you....If you really want those feelings to go away, I know God will help.
You could also ask all Christians reading this to pray with you...and of course, we will :)
Rom 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

No. Not right. You are acting out on your bisexual desires. You may not be doing anything with other males...but you are lusting after them enough to take matters into your own hands. Lusting is the same as doing. It is sin. You need to talk to your pastor or church counselor. This can only lead into more and more until you are literally have sex with another man. You seem to know that homosexuality is sin....what make you think that bisexuality is not? Don't fool yourself. You are living a life that does not please God. Turn from this sin. Go back to God. God bless you.

You go to heaven when you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and you have the righteousness of God in you by being in Christ. You are saved by grace by Jesus' death on the cross and not by what you have done to earn your salvation. Since you did nothing to be saved your wrongful thoughts or even deeds would not cause you to lose your salvation or your righteousness in Christ. You are still righteous in Christ if you sin and therefore can pray to God to help you to turn away from your sin. If you are separated from God when you sin how can you ask God for help. In your times of challenge know that you have God's abundance of grace and His gift of righteousness in you to overcome your sin (Rom 5:17). Keep yourself in God's grace and sin shall not have dominion over you (Rom 6:14) and you will overcome your weakness. God bless you.

I understand what you are saying (I didn't see the original question) and I appreciate that you are resisting evil due to your Love of G-d.
However, keep in mind that Jesus did say that lusting after a married woman is the same as committing the sin of adultery.
So we have to guard against letting Satan take control of our thoughts. And if you keep thinking about a sin, it makes doing a sin easier.
Keep strong! One way when I try to overcome "sinful thoughts" is by whenever I have them, I grab my Bible and read a passage or two and then dwell upon their meanings.
It infuriates Satan!

I think it's a spiritual crime (if there is such a thing) to not be yourself. Who are you hurting??? No-one! How are you hurting yourself unless it becomes an obsession. I believe if Jesus walked the earth today he would throw away half the **** that's written in his name. For the record I'm straight but believe that not everything is black and white. I will never believe that great beings like Jesus would ever condemn another for something like sexual preference.

Technically, you're doomed if you think you've been saved from hell....but is there such a place?....
When we leave this world, we only either go 6 feet under or inside a jug.
So it doesn't really matter who or what you sex around with.
By the way, I'm ex-christian no more different than what you believe in and what you are.

Yes, I agree with you on the yeesang part, but I say you are alright. I really don't know though, but if I were you ;) I'd try to get those thoughts out of my head, and do less often.

There is nothing wrong with being bi. You may have been brainwashed by Christians to think that way but the reality is that your sexuality is your business. It is not a sin, it is not detestable. It is simply who you are.

Ask God to take those thoughts away and everytime Satan brings them into your mind, tell Satan to get behind you because you follow Jesus. Rebuke the devil and he'll flee. Remember the battlefield is in the mind. Keep putting those thoughts our of your mind and when they come say, "Jesus, take them away." Do this enough times and those thoughts will quit coming into your mind.
