bi-sexuality

[felinefan]

About a year ago I found I was attracted to women and have had a short relationship with one girl. I want to know if I can be bi-sexual if I'm a Christian. I have been a Christian since I was 7 and I'm not about to change that. I just don't know if it's right because it's not really something I can change. I know all the facts and it's inbuilt to whether you'll be gay or not at 6 weeks after conception so it's not really something you can change. I'm so confused cos some people say it's alright & some people say it's not. PLEASE HELP!!!

I would say that you need to follow your heart. Believe in the LORD and be the best christian you can. Some will quote scriptures from the bible that state that it is wrong, but if you love the person you are with, that is the LORD.

The LORD will understand. Do not let anyone put you down for what you know in your heart to be true.

Bless you for being so brave.

First of all, it is sin that is inbuilt, not homosexuality. You always have a choice of whether you want to act out upon a certain sinful attraction, whether that's stealing, going out and getting drunk, or an unnatural attraction to a member of the same sex. Never believe that you are "born gay." That is an absolute lie. You are born with sin. And as long as you recognize that you have simply acted out according to your inborn nature, then there is yet hope.

I fully disagree. I know several homosexual individuals, all upstanding people that live life to the fullest. I do not believe that it is a "choice" that is made.

Some would argue that belief in the lord is a choice that we are born with.

Follow your heart, and the LORD.

Because someone is "upstanding," does that mean that they are not sinful?

[Constant]

Yeah, you may have chosen your words alittle better instead of calling someone a liar, MHO. It is true though, bi-sexuality and homosexuality IS A SIN and it is in the BIBLE!!!!!

Good job WSB

We are all born with a sin nature. Homosexuality is just one expression of that nature. Just because we are born with a condition does not justify a behavior. There is a chromosomal issue in some males that makes them predisposed to violent behavior. we would not excuse that because it is something they are born with

Amen. My viewpoint exactly.

Dear Felinefan,

It is not a fact that homo or bisexuality is "built in." That is a lie that someone has told you. There are plenty of lies around on this earth. If we listen to them, then that becomes our fault and we are to some degree responsible, even though the perpetrator of such a lie is more guilty. The fact of the matter is that you CAN learn to discren between truth and falsity. The way to do it is to read God's Holy Word and try to implement it into your life. When you do that, then life becomes a very exciting adventure. You then learn how to put down all those thougts that may plague you.

I may be attacked with thoughts about stealing something. If I entertain those thoughts, eventually I will probably act on those thoughts. However, if I realize that it's wrong to steal, then I can put down those thoughts and become a better person for it. Eventually I will be less and less plagued by that. One way to put down such thoughts is to use Scripture. That's what Jesus did when the devil tempted Him. Find Scriptures that are the exact opposite of what you are tempted by (perhaps Romans 1 in your case). Think of those Scriptures whenever you feel weak. Get Scriptures into your heart and mind and the devil will flee from you.

[Iryssa]

I agree with Pastoreric.

Remember to search your Bible for answers, and to compare other's answers against scripture. Always always always be in prayer.

My guess is that somewhere in you you think that there IS something wrong with it, otherwise you wouldn't be asking people here about it...

Romans Chapter 1 is very clear on the issue of homosexuality and bisexuality.

Remember that just because you have certain lusts, whether they be for a man or a woman, does not mean you need to or should give-in to them.

Also, think about your biology...to me, it's obvious in a man and a woman's physical makeup that a man is intended for a woman, not man for man or woman for woman. You wouldn't try to force puzzle pieces that don't fit together; that would mess up the whole puzzle.
