From now, I want to dicipline myself so that I will be no more gay, I know I can because Jesus with me...

Answer 1

U deserve the best, u are a believer coz those who repent are believers. God will forgive u...is very likely.

Answer 2

Well if you think your God makes mistakes, then try as you will. If you believe that God made a mistake by making you gay, then you have Jesus to turn to. I doubt he would disagree with his father in that you are created the way you were meant to be.

This whole gay thing is out of control. God did not make imperfect people and Jesus did not die for sins that were not against God. Yes, Jesus is with you, but that doesn't mean that you can't be the way God made you.

Jesus said, "I am the truth and the light, and that no man comes to my father except by me" He did not say those crimes of the ten commandments, because they had not been given to man at that time.

You must understand the time of when the scriptures were written and most of them were written by men hundreds of years after the fact. You also have to include in your decision that the Bible was written by men and not by God or Jesus.

You want to be no more gay, that's OK. Does that mean you won't sin in other ways? I hardly think so. Being gay is no more or less a sin than any other. Live as you wish and worship our Lord. That is all he askes from any of us.

Answer 3

Sounds like you had a bad experience to me. Would you still be saying the same thing if you had fallen deeply in love with another person. Would you all of a sudden dump them? You sound as though your not sure, because if you were this would be the last place you would come to for advice to encourage you. How can you discipline yourself anyway. A city that is divided eventually falls. If you believe that Jesus is with you then what more do you need? That's your prerogative to believe. Only time will tell...be gentle on yourself..don't take things too seriously..I am happy being gay and I don't need saving..

Answer 4

Like any sin you will need to get away from the environment and people who will drag you right back into it. Get away and breathe the free air again. Don't focus on the discipline and what you can do only rather focus on God and what He can do. Any lifestyle that has addictive behavior needs a support group and encouragement. Often loneliness and discouragement are our two worst enemies. Get into Gods Word and allow the Holy Spirit to do something new in you. Go ballistic for Jesus who saved you. Die to self and live to Him and I guarantee you will be a whole new person.

Answer 5

for encouragement and instruction, read and meditate on proverbs 16:3, 3:3, psalm 45:1, and romans 8:37. read these verses out loud. psalm 45:1 and proverbs 3:3 will explain to you why it is CRUCIAL to speak the same thing to yourself out loud, over and over and over again. once you understand the message, you will understand what you need to do in order to accomplish ANY great undertaking. if you still don't get it after a few days, email me. i can go on and on and on about this stuff, and why it's so important, but i really don't think i could explain everything in one answer, or maybe not even ten, because there are literally dozens of verses relating to this topic. i believe you can change.

Answer 6

Dude, you're wasting your time and energy. My ex-step-father is queer as a three dollar bill. He always was. He tried not to be. Married my mother, raised my sister and I, had a good life. Prayed every day that God would take the desire from him. It didn't work. He came out of the closet after 21 years of marriage because he was HIV positive. He had to tell us. I'm still a little angry with him for lying to us for 21 years. But in the end, he is who he is. And I don't hold that against him. I say, it is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. Be true to yourself and if other "christians" won't accept you so be it. They will have to work on their feelings of hate. It is truly rare in this world for a person to find true love. If you can find it with a man instead of a woman, more power to you brother. Just don't water yourself down to conform.

To quote Randall Munroe(an excellent webcomic artist)
"The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops. Reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a few paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.
And no, I don't have all the answers.I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: The solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up."

Basically, I'm asking you to not make the same mistake my step-father did. Learn from him. I believe the reason he ended up HIV positive is that he had to sneak around. The church and society as a whole instilled in him a fear of being different. And because of that fear he put himself in situations he would not normally have been in. He is a good man and was a good father to me. I'm sure you are a good man as well. Please be true to yourself and don't let the church change who you are. The Joy of the Lord is being happy with what you are given. I'm not saying turn your back on the church. If it makes you happy and you feel love for having been a part of it, then that is where you need to be. Because the two messages of christianity are: Love your God, and Love your neighbor as yourself. You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. And in the end all you need is love.

Answer 7

Good for you. I have faith in you. Just ask God to help you. If you ever need a friend though, I'm happy to be here, you can write to me if you like. I also love Jesus. Just click on my pic and then on "email Brooke H". God bless. I hope you have an amazing day.

Dreamstuff, i see you here again. Jesus is waiting for you, He will forgive anything you have done, all you have to do is ask Him into your heart. God bless. I will continue to pray for you.

Answer 8

It is never easy to choose the right path when our desires lead us in a different direction, this is true with many things, like money, power and greed. I am overjoyed to hear you have accepted Jesus, and are putting forth an effort to follow his path. : )

Answer 9

i encourage you to learn to be comfortable with yourself.
i don't think you can make a choice about being gay, either you are or are not.
If you are experimenting and you prefer same sex relationships, then learn how to deal with that fact that you are gay.

Answer 10

Whatever you wish to do with your life should be completely up to you. I do however wish you the best of luck in whatever makes you happy. Being happy with ones own self should be the most important thing in ones life.
