Jesus has been challenging us to accept confrontation when it happens with courage. And it has been awesome overcoming fear in those times, striving towards the faith measurements for the bride's dress. Now we are attempting to understand how we have all been bound, loosed striving to never be bound again. The question is can we accept the psychosomatic attributes of people who are bound as well? Their feelings are also to be loosed, and accepted. So we have to explain things about our imperfect selves, to them who saw us bound and struggling now being perfected, and want some of it for themselves without being judged. Even when they are homeless, wreckless and possibly drunk.

I am a 23 year old female. I've been struggling with my gender and sexuality since I was around 13 years old. I "came out" as gay in highschool. I "came out" as "transgender" a few years after that. I started dressing like a male around that time. I cut my hair short. I wore really baggy male clothes to hide my feminine figure. I even bound my chest. Everyone in my family knows me as a transgender. They know I like male stuff (Like video games, sci-fi, and fantasy stuff). They started calling me my "preferred name" a few months ago. I don't want to be known as a transgender or lesbian anymore. I want to be a woman. A godly woman. A woman who wears women's clothes, and covers her head like women are told to in the Bible. I believe pants were made for men. And, 99% of women's pants are too tight and not modest at all. I want to be a modest woman. I want to start wearing skirts and dresses. I want to grow my hair out. I dont want to sin like this anymore. Is there anyone here who has been suffering the same as me? I really need help right now. I feel so lost. I prayed to God for help, but, so far, nothing's happened. Well, I don't think anything's happened. I've been watching people's testimonies on YouTube, of ex-transgenders and ex-homosexuals. I think that is God's way of telling me that what I am doing is a sin. Is it? Do you think so? I've never acted on my homosexual thoughts, but I have watched porn before, and I feel really ashamed, guilty, and disgusted at myself for doing so. I believe masturbation and pornography is a sin, but I can't stop. I'm addicted to it. Please, anyone, help. Any ex-transgenders or ex-homosexuals, preferably women, on here? I would really like some advice on what to do about this situation. Thanks in advance, God bless, and sorry that this post is so long! ♡

Daily Reading 71 If you prefer, you can look up the following verses in your own Bible, or by whatever means and in whichever version you choose. Matthew 14:1-21 Leviticus 20-21 Proverbs 30 Audio 4:14 Audio 4:18 Audio 3:51 The above verse addresses are linked to Bible Gateway. That is an easy way to read (or listen to) the Bible verses, and choose your version. Personally, I prefer written, that way I can go at my own pace, and think about it, before moving on. Nothing wrong with doing either or both. The Bible says faith comes by hearing. See the picture below to get an idea of what to expect if you follow the above links. Note: The audio will not play the exact verses, it will play the whole chapters, in which the verses exist. Thank you Lord for making the your word so accessible for us in these times. Amen

In the past few days these verses of scripture keep coming at me. What I mean is I have many of my favorite Internet pages set up to give me a "verse of the day". And many have been giving me this. It's in 1 Peter Ch 4: . 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. I'm not claiming to understand all the nuances of the meaning here. But it seems obvious Peter is saying what we do matters. If our practicing the act of Godly love towards others covers over a multitude of sins, then even though we may be saved our sins are still effecting us somehow. That's the part I don't know yet. In what way our sins effect us after we accepted Jesus. And I'm bring this up because we're living in a time where even saved people think they can do as they please, without consequences. This is not true, and these verses are but a few that prove this. We all have sins and some are very hard to give up even when we want to. But we also have other sins that are not so hard to give up once we want to. But the churches have been teaching that all sins are automatically forgiven, to the saved, for so long now, that most Christians see no reason to give any of them up. This is wrong. And these are a few of the scriptures that prove it.

Firestormx, There is only one unforgivible sin,, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Putting it plainly,, the sin of disbelief is the only sin that can keep you out of Heaven. As for the Rev. verses you share.. This comes in a time after the rapture.. Christians well already be gone by the time these verses come into play.. God owes the Jews 7 years in which to repent and take Jesus as the promised saviour. Give me about 3 months of saturdays and I'll outline the whole deal.. Just keep studying with the Holy Spirit at your side and all this will come to you. God bless Linehaul
