    There is no God. Religion is a story you believe bcz you haven't stopped to examine it. Everything you think is God is just you.

    God does not hate the sex. Don't let people tell you that. This is a very complex issue but God is love: "faith hope and love but the greatest of these is LOVE." I am praying for you. what you have been told is very sorrowful. I am sorry.

    its true, god does hate the sex, but what about the way we think? what if we lust in our minds? is that still wrong? the bible says that we have to train ourselves to not lust for someone in our hearts. God treats any sin equally, because a sin, is still a sin. you can choose what you choose, but im just saying, at the end the answers will be revealed.

      Thanks for your consideration. I may be wrong, but I'm getting the sense that you're peeved at me and my experience. I attempt to respect and greet every person that I encounter with love. I say attempt because we ALL are born into sin and ALL fall short. If my situation was merely one of lust perhaps I could have the clarity that you exuberant. Just so happen it isn't and therefore I have to remember and respect that God is molding me and his light will illuminate all the wisdom that only He is. I know that I am a work in progress as are you. As a brother/sister in Christ you should respect that another of God's children isn't as far on this path as you are. Instead of a "I told you so" attitude you should be a disciple; reaching out with his love, shouting God's truthfulness, and encouraging him towards his salvation. Indeed ALL sins are equal whether it be of any flesh or your complete soul. I don't have all the answer but absolutely in the end Wisdom, that is God will reveal all. If it is in your heart pray for me and my prayers you shall have.

    Tides, I'm a Christian - straight, conservative, male, ordained... all the bad things. I can't speak into your situation so to speak, but I can speak from my heart and understanding of the Scriptures.
    God... is unable to approve of sin. That is the reality of His character. Understand that He HATES it when I look at *********** or lust over some girl other than my wife. He HATES it when I eat too much, or am lazy, or tell a lie also. This isn't a matter of Him specially hating your struggle with homosexuality. It is Him specially hating it any time His children are over taken.

    What your pastors did though, was wrong, and immature, and not holy at all. You're a created being, and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. You were also wrong perhaps in hiding the truth - obviously you had some hints as to how they were going to receive your sexuality. We're all called to treat each other gently, and to take care not to harm one another. It seems like you guys didn't take a lot of care with one another.

    Again, just my perspective, but God is concerned with the HEART more than the activity. He wants you to be fully submitted to Himself, and to His ways for your life. IT seems like there will always be a tension or conflict between you and Him, so long as you try to juxtapose holiness and carnality.

    Can a Christian sin? By all means! We all do it all the time! Should a Christian be content with ongoing patterns of sin in her or his life? By no means! We're all on a journey, ma'am. Your struggles are different from mine, but you no more deserve to be harmed for them than I do. I'll be praying for you.

      I want to first say thank you for your prayer and the poignant way in which you addressed me. I also wanted to say that I am evermore being molded by our Father. There are many of his truths that I haven't put in my works to understand yet. BUT I don't feel him hating a love that is beyond any physical desire. A love that was a vessel of his light; reminding me that he was still God. She pulled me out...HE pulled me out of darkness kicking and screaming. There are many truths of his written words that aren't clear also. I feel closest to our Savior when I'm the only one awoke at sunrise. When there are blues skies and birds whistling with the breeze. When I talk with him throughout the day that's our place. God is revealing more of himself in me and around me by and by. And with a combination of love, respect, studying the word, meditation, and acceptance of all his emerging revelations; I hope to die knowing I've earned my salvation. Again thank you for your prayers and my prayers you shall have.

      beautifully written. as my earthly father has said, 'there is no wrong motivation to know God better.' this is drawing you closer to HIM. I pray for you.
