I Am a Gay Christian

Non Religious Gay Christian

By: uhmmidk
Written on October 25th, 2012
I'm not religious at all, and do no push Christianity on people but I do consider myself as a gay Christian. I absolutely believe in god, but I don't believe everything in the bible. I often catch myself doubting god. And I know that's wrong of me to do. I never go to church, because I don't feel like you have to go to church to feel gods presence, maybe I'm wrong. I just believe That you can praise god anywhere. Hell, even in a Night Club, although it would be awkwardly weirdly, god has no limits on this planet. I am still in the closet, and I don't know how much more of this I can take. I know that if I were to tell my family that I'm gay they would drift away from me just like logs in a river stream. Their completely Homophobic. Despite all the horrible things they say about gays, lesbians, bi, transgender, I still love them and wish they would be more opened minded people.
Hell will freeze over before that happens though.

    faith without action isnt proof that you believe, you can call yourself christian yet you dont follow the bible. its like wearing a clean shirt over a dirty body, its like being a hypocrite.

      No I'm not a hypocrite I don't sit in church then go to the bars the next day. I do have faith in god and i know what he is capable of doing. So yeah I'm from righteous but god says not one is righteous.

      faith comes from listening to the word, if you dont believe that everything in the bible is correct, then your just obeying the word in your conditions, not in god's. you are right when you say that no one is righteous, but god ment that as in being born. after all god said that the righteous go to heaven, what he wants us to do is practice in selfcontrol and sacrifice our body and mind for god. If you really had a faith in god, then you would believe his word and sacrifice your feelings for him because you would do it for love.

    As a transgender christian I am thankful you are willing to claim yourself as a person of God. I believe all creation is of God and is good. I also believe that in our faith journey we were never meant to walk it alone. Scripture reminds us that accountability (not judgment) is critical to our growth in faith. We were meant to function in communities of faith that aid us in our spiritual walk. I would suggest checking this site out and attempting to find a place of worship near you that is accepting and affirming:
    http://www.gaychurch.org/
    You can select from international countries/regions or individual states if you live in the US.
    Know that there are many of us out here that are willing to help and befriend you in this, your faith journey.

    Hugs,
    Regina

      I'm here for you. I've been coming out to my family slowly. I started with my younger brother because he expressed that he doesn't think we should hate gay people, even if homosexuality is a sin. Later I came out to my youngest brother. They both expressed doubt, saying, "It's just a phase. It will pass." I tried coming out to my oldest brother. He asked me, "Are there any girls that you're interested in?" And I gather the courage to say, "I'm not interested in girls," but he took it as I'm not interested right now. Lol.
      I'm most worried about coming out to the parents. Dad might be my best first choice. Mom just keeps making close minded comments, like, "You have gay friends? Why? You need to be careful around them!" "I don't like Ellen Degenerous, because she's liberal and lesbian." "You want to be careful how you're portraying yourself on Facebook. Putting pictures of you holding other guy's hand will make people judge you. I'll judge you. You want to show yourself as the Christian man that you are."

      It's rough, tough, and lonely in the closet. I can walk through these tough times with you.

      Thank you for reading my story. And I think you and I should really stop caring what people think about us. I've come out to my friends, just not family yet. If you are a Minor try to wait on the parents. If you need someone to talk to I'll be than glad to speak with you.
