As the title suggest whats a good place to start. Ive barely read any of the bible and i want to start. What do you suggest?

Hi Angels4u. Is it really a sin to be attracted to other men if you are a man. I've always thought as long as you control yourself and don't have relationships with the same sex you are not committing any sin. Edit: Just read the article about those parents. How sad. Makes me a bit upset to say the least.

I want to quote something I said in another topic (I hope it's okay). It's something I was afraid to say originally but I feel it's needed if others are to help me fully. Sometimes I feel as though God has no room for me, like maybe he doesn't like me because I'm this way. I know it's not true but there are times I feel this way. I feel like I'm all alone and I'm afraid to make friends because maybe they would judge me if they found out. Especially in the Christian community. I hope you all will be understanding of my situation and not judge me. I haven't had a relationship with a man yet and i don't plan to. But when you go through life having thoughts and dreams that are deemed sinful in the eyes of God it's just hard not be overwhelmed with sadness. I wish that I could be normal and these thoughts were to be taken away from me. I hope you all understand.

On the topic of Sexuality I would like to voice something real quick. I hope it doesn't get me into trouble so forgive me if I offend anyone. I do not condone LGBT acts or ideals, however I have sympathy for their situation. As a man who has had romantic attractions towards other men, I know what it feels like to be isolated and to be rejected. I know what its like to be different and to feel like you are living a lie. This is something I struggle with on daily basis and it hurts. Being a Christian I understand it would be a sin for me to act on my desires therefore I must be more careful. I do not ask of anyone to condone LGBT acts, I only ask you have sympathy for our situation. Its important that LGBT individuals be supported, not because they should act on their desires, but instead uplift them, show them God's loving grace so that he may free them from their transgressions.

Any passages that would be helpful in my situation that you wouldn't mind sharing?

Hi everyone. I'm turning 22 pretty soon and it's for me to thinking on my current situation. Since about a few years ago I've been contemplating my singleness and it has been frustrating dealing with loneliness in my life. I've been a loner all my life. I've never really had any friends or a girlfrirnd. I go to church and a few social programs but I always distance myself from everyone. I'm not good at socializing and I'm afraid I'll never be able to share the good news of Jesus with anyone. God expects us to share this news with everyone, it's the entire reason we a live on earth. But I'm just not confident. I have self esteem issues and I just don't feel I can develop the relationships or courage required to fill out this mission. What can I do? I just don't want to feel lonely anymore. I feel so depressed right now and I've been contemplating suicide the last few months. I already have a plan and the means of doing so. I'm scared and the feelings I'm having hurt. Please tell me what I can do?
