I feel like I'm losing the battle against lust and homosexual tendencies.I accepted Christ in July 1993?

Question

I accepted Christ in July 1993 and although my walk with Christ hasn't been stellar.....it seems that when I purchased my first pc or computer in October 2001....it opened me to a world of internet pornography and online gay chat rooms where you can meet other guys and hook up.....I know that Christ is coming back soon and I need to be ready....I feel so lost and empty....maybe I don't know Christ???? sometimes I ask myself this....however...I know other Christians struggle with these issues also....I dont think I'm alone....

Answer 2

You are not alone. I had the same problem with strait pornography which is just as bad of a sin in God's eyes. You need to block temptations and get help and encouragement from other Christians. What I did to stop was I Installed a filter on my computer as well as received help from a good Christian friend as well as some Christian message boards.

Answer 3

Everyone sins, you aren't alone. I am struggling right now myself with certain temptations. Fact of the matter is that once we die in this world nothing else matters. God says to store your treasure in heaven. Satan is everywhere, sin is everywhere, and the lines between good and bad are being blurred. What was once unthought of has now become accepted in society. The bible also says that it would be this way in the end of times.

Nothing in this world will last or is worth giving into. Spend time in prayer. If you want to get to know someone, don't you have to talk to them? If you search your heart and ask Jesus for help he is there, will listen, and will lift you up. He has been the reason I have got through many tough times in my life. It is wonderful to have someone who cares for you that much and will always take you back.

I wish the very best for you. You are in my prayers :)

Answer 4

accept yourself...as a Christian. I love how you said "lust" & "temptation" instead of "uncontrollable desire." Don't listen to the "you were born that way" nonsense. You can control anything and everything you want to be. If you know deep inside that you are doing things God doesn't accept, FIGHT them. And don't settle for what "science" says you are. I'm sorry but this is the most honest i can get. <3 Many blessings!


oh and you are not alone

Answer 5

Brother, remember that if just one person in your entire line of ancestors at ANY POINT in the past was a practicing homosexual, you would not be asking this question as you would not exist because of that person's choice to be a practicing homosexual. Now think about all your cousins and other members of your family who would not be allowed to breathe the free air of the Holy One!!

Thus homosexuality has that dimension that in a very subtle way kills off people from being born. It is a grave and serious issue, not just an issue of free choice. Just because I exist, do I have the free choice to murder people if I feel like it or because if God forbid I am a serial killer, should I be allowed to go on a rampage and kill people so that my urges are satisfied? Similarly, homosexuality is literally endangers hundreds of lives of your own future children and grand-children, plus denying females who wish to have children the right to have their own progeny.

Once you understand the basics of why homsexuality is not allowed in all traditional religions, you will see why it is wrong.

I will complete my answer by stating that if one percent of all males would become homosexual, at least one percent of humanity will be eliminated in the next generation. If ten percent become homosexuals, then ten percent of humanity will be eliminated. If one hundred percent of all males turn to homosexuality, then all human beings as a species will disappear within ONE GENERATION!!!

Remember the holocaust of the Jewish people, when less than one percent of humanity was eliminated, and to this day we remember the Nazis as the perpetrators of evil.

YOU choose where you wish to stand after this clear argument. I am a Muslim by the way. ...

It is important people are explained the import of being natural and not resort to unnatural directions which are always replete with dangers of all kinds.

May the Lord help you and me so we stay away from hurting others knowingly and unknowingly. Amen.

Answer 6

as a replace of giving in to carnal lust, why no longer provide into your different lust - the lust to study bible scripture? With that a lot leopard print that is clear she commits sins (of style if no longer something else), and may want to income from someone piloting her back to God. And besides, 25-fifty 5 is a robust age variety for a noticeably woman. possibly if issues pass properly you may want to instruct her your cockpit, and show what pitch and yaw are all about.

Answer 7

Knowing Christ doesn't mean waiting around for His return. He is with us now! Turn to Him for guidance and know that He is with you no matter what.

Gay, not gay, Christ loves you.

I have a real problem with pornography because it is treating other people as mere sex objects. We are supposed to love one another, not use one another for our selfish pleasure.

There are gay Christian groups and perhaps they can help. I think for somebody gay, you would find far more happiness seeking a meaningful relationship with someone who shares your values, instead of cheapening sexuality through pornography and anonymous hookups.

Please pray about this and know that Christ always sees our hearts.

Answer 8

There are a couple of ministries that might be able to help you. One is called "Setting Captives Free" and they provide free online courses to help work your way out of sin.

Another one is called Triple X church, which helps people get out of porn and lust addictions, hence the name Triple X Church. If you have an iPod or an MP3 player, they have awesome podcasts.

Setting Captives Free is at www.settingcaptivesfree.com and Triple X Church has three Xs, the word church, and the dot com.

Answer 9

Be yourself and let the chips fall where they may. God made you and you should be proud of who you are and how he made you. If the church doesnt accept that then perhaps the congregation of the chuch are far less perfect than god, and less forgiving too. God is everywhere, not only in a building people tell you to find him. Go to the mirror, look at what god made and say thank you.

Answer 10

Personally, i have no problem with porn. Its a guy thing, and its human nature. Idk about the gay thing, thats something you have to accept about yourself and live with comfortably. But as for the porn... if you wanna stop, You have to have the willpower to change your ways, talk to a close friend about this for help, read a book whenever you start to have weird thoughts, go running or do some type of exercise, read a book (probably the bible), (in your case) think of girls, try to do something to take your mind off of the thoughts, turn off the computer, or call somebody and talk to them about anything (NOT PORN THOUGH). Think of a sad event, watch a sad movie, or depending on how desperate you are, slap yourself silly. Hope that helps. somewhat.

Answer 11

The God I put my faith in loves you for who you are - straight or gay. Those who claim that "God" hates gays - well, they must know a different God than the one I know. The Bible I read say "whosoever" not "whosoever as long as they aren't gay" - don't let the haters of the world fool you into believing God isn't there for you. If you believe, and ask for His love you will get it. Unconditional love is just that - unconditional. If you say you must be straight... well, that sounds like a condition to me. May you find peace with yourself and know that you are loved by God.
