Of course, God is cool and he understand your situations, if this wasn't true he wouldn't be God.\nHe is the one who has given the sexual desire so don't worry.

Young lady there is no better place than church to chat about sin, God is the answer to the problems of the world. How do you expect to beat this sinful problem without going to our Lord Almighty. If you have a Bible (New International Version) turn to Galatians 5:19-26 and find out more about this. I was the biggest porn junky there was before I studied the Bible with my church members and got saved. To God be the glory!!!!!

not only that, but what you did with your life, gay sex is very different from having morals, they are viewed differently and specially the way you exercise your morals...we are all gods children and he loves us with our virtues as well as defects, he understands that none of us are perfect...what God cares is what you did with your life, if you used it well and did good to others

First of all, as a fellow brother in Christ, I want to commend you on your commitment to save sex for marriage. Too often we see people today giving into the pleasure of a few minutes, only to suffer a lifetime of pain and hurt in the future.\n\nI don't normally answer questions on here, but the situation you are in is too similar to mine for me to ignore.\n\nI have been a Christian all my life, and constantly seek to glorify Him by living and dedicating my life to Him. I also believe that sex is the ultimate expression of physical love, and is the most special gift anyone can present to the person that they want to dedicate the rest of their life to. If someone commits premarital sex, they are giving that gift away, and tarnishing any future romantic relationships they may have.\n\nNow, obviously, I am a virgin; and am extremely proud of this fact. I cannot wait to let my future wife know that I've saved myself for her. Instead of channeling my energy and resources to fulfill sexual needs, I instead look to strengthen my character and serve others.\n\nBut I've recently fallen for this girl.... She's a born again Christian, who was saved this past summer. However, her previous life was filled with sin, as she drank and had sex with guys before me, enough guys to number on 2 hands.\nI was so devastated when I found out. I was literally torn because I only had one romantic relationship before this point, and had only gone as far as a kiss.\nNeedless to say, I was more than a little hurt. In fact, I don't believe anything or anyone else hurt me as much as she did when she told me that.\nI was ready to just end things at that point.\n\nBut then I remembered. If God, who is the only one who is perfect and holy, can forgive us for all our sins without judgment, who are we to judge others and use their past against them. If she really came to God after her mistakes of the past, and surrendered herself to his forgiveness and mercy, then she is literally, emotionally, and spiritually a new person.\nGod calls us to forgive one another, and if a perfect God can forgive our sins, both past and current, without question (as long as we are sincere!) and love us with the greatest love of all; shouldn't we as Christians (who are also guilty of sin) replicate that love toward one another?\n\nI'm not saying it's easy. My heart aches and burns daily from the suffering that her past brings to me. But I trust that God will allow us to overcome this obstacle, and allow our relationship to prosper. As the first guy she even kissed after God came into her life, I know that she's changed.\nI'm going to continue to trust in God that He will allow me to get over her past; because who she is now is someone who makes me happy and has allowed me to experience love.\n\nIf you really love your girlfriend, pray about it. She's a new person now, she has Jesus in her.\nPlease keep Jesus Christ in the center of your life and of your current relationship. That's the only way that your relationship will be able to reach it's true potential.\n\nBe blessed.\n\nIn Him....

Maybe not the best place to ask for non glib answers...\n\nWell, firstly you'd need do your research for yourself, if the bible defeniately says, in your opinion, that it's wrong to act on those desires.  It also might be important to think about whether it says it's wrong to be gay, ir just wrong to act on it.\n\nIf you believe it says it's wrong to act on gay feelings, and you are a committed Christian, then I guess you will have to stick with it, and try to get some proper help on how to deal with the feelings you have.  \n\nDon't run out and marry someone though.  No point pretending to like women in that way if you don't.  You'll just have to go without sex.  There are worse things that could happen you know.\n\nYou can't fit religion around what you feel like doing.\n\nWhich is one reason why I'm not religious.\n\nAnd i'd like to add...the bible may mention that it's wrong to have gay sex, but the ten commandments says you can't lie, and how many people go around lying without getting hassled by supposed forgiving chritians for it.  It's a rather hypocritical subject really that gets blown out of proportion.\n\nOne of the postings above had this to say of those with gay feelings..\n\n"They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided"  \n\nAnd good christians could do well to remember this.

God does not love one person more than another. It doesn't really matter if what the person did was a million times worst than what the other person did. God is no respector of persons. Once your sins are wiped away by the blood of Jesus, then you don't have to feel any kind of fear or guilt. Take care.

there should be no limit on forgivness. we are all human and screw up. does Jesus put a limit on how many times He will forgive you for your sins? no He doesn't so why should we. if the problem is big enough to where you can't trust him anymore then you probably would just be better off finding someone you can trust. there can never be unconditional love if there isn't trust. so basicly it depends on you how many times you want to forgive.

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.\n \nYes it is a sin. You answered your son correctly.

I would not act any different...he knows whats in our hearts. I would confess my sins and ask for his forgiveness like I do every night before bed. You never know when you will have to answer for your sins.Yes I am a God fearing christian.

I am not sure...\n\nChristianity that allows for support of the gay lifestyle will also be a Christianity that will allow for unbelief.\n\nIf a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination . . . (Leviticus 20:13) \n\nFor this reason (i.e. their refusal to acknowledge, thank and glorify God) God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error. (Romans 1:26-27) \n\nDo not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral (or fornicators), nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals (or sodomites; literally those who have coitus, or who sleep, with men), nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

I doubt fun things like orgasms are allowed in the Christian heaven.  You're going to need to go to Islam heaven for that sort of thing.  Just ask for a transfer. :)

God Hates Sin! God Loves the Sinner. He feels the same way about Fornication, and Adultry as He does about Homosexuality. The Bible states when we sin sexually, we sin against our own body. The Bible also states that Our Bodies are suppose to be the Temple of God. Read it for yourselve.  \n\n1 Corinthians 6:\n12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. \n15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.\n18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.\n\nAs for the behavior of some that call themselves Christians, I apologize. To be a true Believer We are called to Love one another and even commanded to Love our Enemies. As a Believers In Christ, we are to strive to show the Love of Jesus to the world. \n \n1 Corinthians 13:\n\n 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing.\n4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. \n8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. \n11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. \n13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.\n\nMost of all, it is by the Grace of our Lord and Savior that we can even call ourselves Christians.\n\nEphesians 2:\n7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

I feel badly for you  but rest in this:  Most of the time when you are wronged by someone else great blessing will come to you. It might not be immediately but it will come.  Do you remember that situation where the man and woman divorced and the woman was wronged and then she won the lottery?  That's just one example.  The main thing is to not try to get back at the one who wronged you. Put it in the hands of God and He will take care of it for you.   Of course if you aren't a Christian this probably won't work.  You first must believe that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for your sins and then you will have a relationship with the Creator of the universe.  He will take good care of you in every situation in  your life. Trust me this is true.

"God forgives those who forgive themselves".\n\nI wonder, could that person ever, in retrospect, manage to forgive himself or would he carry the guilt?\n\nAnother way to look at it is, if he has no remorse, he is unlikely to ask for forgiveness, which is also a requirement. You not only have to forgive yourself, you have to ask for forgiveness.\n\nThis makes me think there is little chance for this person to ever receive God's forgiveness.

Sure.  Sin is a terrible thing.  The good news is that no matter what it is, if we are repentant and try our best to be obedient and live as God wants us to live, our past sins don't matter.\n\nGod is greater than our sins.  You have to trust that in order to let it go.  He doesn't forgive us because we deserve it, He forgives us because He is so great and He promises to.  Believe Him, and forgive yourself.  \n\nDon't be discouraged.  Just keep working on being at peace with God and yourself.  You do that by doing what He wants you to do to the best of your ability.  We all sin and fall short (present tense) of the glory of God.  But He offers us salvation.  \n\nConcentrate on all His blessings.  Read His Word.  Pray to Him and tell Him all your heart.  He will heal you.\n\nThere is no sin we could ever commit and repent of that is  greater than God's forgiveness.

He is also so loving that he will completely forgive you if you are sorry for your sins. and foremost he create us through his image.So we must all act Godlike. Good , righteous and loving, Does that answer your question.
