Hey, guys, I posted a question on Yahoo Answers and it's about to expire so Im just posting my question on here to see if I can get any more helpful responses. All answers are appreciated. Thank you all. Peace.
Fellow Christians, help me out here. I'm a Chrisitian, but I am also homosexual. I know that the Bible says being gay is an abomination, but it also says that eating shrimp and lobster and wearing clothes that are made of more than one material are abominable things too. Also, doesn't the Bible say that Jesus surrounded himself with the outcasts of society? Who better represents the outcasts of this day and age than the LGBT community? Pastors say "God's grace is limitless", and that gives me hope that He would accept me, but others say God condemns the gays, which scares me. People say God loves all His children, so why shouldn't He love me? Am I not a child of God? And is it not also said that God has a plan for all of us? Wouldn't that make this part of God's plans for me? If it is part of His plan, who am I to deny it? This is all really confusing, and I'm not sure what to think, where to turn, or what to do. It blows my mind to think that one wrong decision in this short life could make my entire eternal life hell. Eternity is a long time. I'm afraid. I'm deathly scared for my soul and I just need a little help. Thank you all.
So, from what I'm reading, it looks like I can be gay, but I can't live a gay life. Is that right, because it doesn't make sense that God would want to take love from me. Maybe I'm naive. Thanks for all of you who are truly helping.
Ok, wherever I ask this question, I get the answer: "Gay: acceptable, gay lifestyle: condemned". What do you all mean by gay lifestyle? If you mean just sleeping around with men like we're all man-whores and callboys, you couldn't be farther from the truth, because I can say that as a gay male, I don't think fornication is right. But if by gay lifestyle, you just mean having sex with men, married or not, does that mean I'm supposed to stay celibate all my life? Thanks again to everyone who's helping, all answers are indescribably appreciated.
