I didn't like this before. You know the Bible said that Homosexuality is wrong. And I thought it was stupid. But Lately, I believe in heaven and Hell. And I suddenly start wondering 'Than Is bible right? THere's a really God exist and If I sleep with other men than I'm gonna go to the hell?'
Man. I really wanna have sex with other men but I'm afraid to do it? What should do? Just keep my virginity? And How did this happened?
And If you think bible is wrong. Then show me something That I can trust. Not that 'Gay or not god still love you.' thing. Oh and not the one 'Who know? Some who wrote the bible was homophobic?' They all just guess.

There is not one place in the bible that condemns gay people.

It condemns homosexual acts between ostensibly heterosexual people. When the bible was being written nobody knew that people could be born gay. So when they talk about gay activity, they assumed it was being done by heterosexuals who were either worshiping idols or just being kinky.
There is a lot of information online about what the bible does and doesn't say about homosexuality. It does NOT condemn gay people. Fundamentalists do, but they have to twist scripture around to make it support their hatred.

Well, I can tell you something that is a fact, not a guess. The bible was written by numerous groups of people, some that were completely seperate from one another, and over the years, the stories have changed so many times, that the Bible really doesn't count for much in terms of validity.
Aside from that, sexuality is something totally personal and you should do what comes naturally to you, not what you think you should do or what God wants you to. I personally am agnostic, but if there is a God, why would he create people that are then supposed to hide themselves? Aka. gays, etc.
So just live your life well and love who you love, and if God does exist, that will certainly be enough for him.

Don't fear hell. Instead, seek a relationship with God. Speak out to God in prayer or just speak up to heaven. Ask God to guide you in your life, and listen to the reason that comes to you. Knowing God and learning why God created you is the beginning of self awareness. Learning who you are as an individual is a step towards uniqueness. When you learn more about who you are, in the image of God, this will reveal to you what is right, acceptable, and clearly wrong.
When you focus on your desires and especially sex you know you are looking for sexual pleasure and release. Wanting sexual pleasure and intimacy is normal and is a good thing. However, it must not control you or be the focus of your life. When you let any one thing be your focus then it obscures the view of reality.
Reality is that you are created in God's image. You are good and wonderfully made. You are born into a fallen world where sin abounds. You are subject to all those sins and you will sin yourself. You have the ability to choose to do the right thing. The more better choices you make the easier it will be to make better choices in the future. There is a God who loves you in spite of yourself, and has a wonderful plan for your life. God offers you grace when you sin, and will be there waiting for you in those times when you cannot forgive yourself. Don't ever forget that God is there for you. God will not leave you. Live seeking God and you will find God (Leo Tolstoy).

you had a lot of answers given, but I don't think any address what you are asking.
first, regardless of how you struggle with any issue in your life, be it stealing, drugs, porn, it does not matter, you will struggle with those issues. It is part of growing.
Now to the core of the matter. You say you have come to believe the bible is true. That is a good thing. But for the bible to come alive and for you to have some victory in your life addressing any issues, you need Jesus. You do that by asking him to forgive you, to come into your life and be your LORD and Savior and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead.
Something else to keep in mind. Every christian struggles with some issue. Yours might be homosexuality, but for some it could be alcohol, or gambling. Don't let someone tell you that once you are a christian, all your problems go away. They do not, but you view them differently and if you are growing in Christ, you see that they are temporary and that you will overcome them.

What does the Bible say about homosexuality?
Rom. 1:24-27: “God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them . . . God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.”
1 Tim. 1:9-11: “Law is promulgated, not for a righteous man, but for persons lawless and unruly, ungodly and sinners, . . . fornicators, men who lie with males, . . . and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching according to the glorious good news of the happy God.”
Jude 7: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they . . . [had] gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (The name Sodom has become the basis for the word “sodomy,” which usually designates a homosexual practice.

Sex for straight and gay is about the same in the sense of touch, but sex is not everything in the world, you can be gay and have your sexual preference as long as you don't practice sexual behavior and you can still be in the path to heaven, find something that you enjoy so much that has nothing to do with people, i for once i needed to stop having sex with my girlfriend because of the same thing fear of god, so i started overwhelming my self with cars and fixing them, and at night i think of problems and solutions until i fall asleep, but i still go out and do everything the same of hagging out with her and going on dates, once you find something that you alone can do and sometimes include your partner that does not involve sexual content everything will be easier, i promise, and i will pray for you. Hope you find it

agree with first answerer.
there are evidences pointing that homosexuality is due to genes defect or something.
let me explain to you .
there are people born with 2 sexual organs , and they can choose which to keep or keeping both together .
there are people who are female physically and yet is genetically male ( one case in my country )
now , i wouldnt be surprise if you have a male body , but genetically female , then you would think like a girl right ? if so , you would like man .
gene defects can also cause your hormones to be imbalance.
if you really have intention to change , you can see a doctor
i cant say it's right or wrong . but if it's due to gene , i believe whatever god you believe in , he will understand

It sounds like Satan is tormenting you so that he can add another soul to Hell. Pray to God for a hedge of protection around you and remove all evil influences from you. You might want to read Joyce Myers' book called Battlefield of the Mind.

ahh! please dont think this!
in NO way is homosexuality wrong, thats pants.
also, if you really want to have other sex with men, then in the eyes of 'God', thats probably just as 'bad' as you actually having sex with them
you're not going to 'hell'
you cant help your feelings and who you're attracted to, nobody can
its rubbish talk and it makes me angry :)
