Does having gay feelings mean that i am sinning?

According to the bible,gay sex is a sin.Having lustful thoughts is a sin also.The bible says something about if you lust after a man's wife,you are just as wrong as commiting adultury.So I guess that applies to lusting after the same sex also.\n \n\nI disagree.How can someone not lust after someome,unless they are asexual.Testosterone is what gives you sexual urges.Everyone has testosterone within their body.If a preacher tells you that he doesn't have lustful thoughts,he probably is lying or he has a low sex drive.I have my own personal definition of a sin;Anything that causes intensional harm to someone.Homosexuality does not cause harm to anyone unless it is rape or intensionally spreading a disease.When people tell me certain things are wrong that doesn't cause anyone harm,then I don't pay them any mind.\n\nIf you are a Christian,you probably will try to resist these feelings.As you resist,the feeling will get stronger and stronger.Why not just give in?You won't be hurting anyone.The bible isn't any more holy than my english book.What makes you think it is the word of God?Because the bible said so?That's not proof.People forced Christianity on others.Every country that is mostly Christian were settled by Europeans.They forced their religion on them and the messages went from generation to generation.You don't have to follow this religion.Why should you?It has no proof whatsoever to be the word of God.The muslims think the Koron is the word of God,are they going to hell for being raised with the "wrong" religion?No.It is insane to believe that 67% of the world are going to a fire pit for being raised with the "wrong"religion or for simply not believing something that has no proof whatsoever.\n\nMany may say that you have choice to act on your feeling.It is so easy for a heterosexual to say "don't have sex with the same sex" or force yourself to be with a woman" while they have concentual sex with adults who they are attracted to.Don't listen to them.I'm sure if they were gay,they would act on it.There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay and having lustful thoughts.\n\nHomosexuality is not a choice.If that's the case,then why can't heterosexuals choose to be attracted to the same sex.Homosexuality groses them out.If they can't choose to be gay,what makes them think we did?Next time someone tells you it's a choice,ask them are they attracted to both sexes and chose to be with the opposite sex.

I don't believe that it makes you gay. But, it also depends on what your definition of Gay is.  I do believe that you have homosexual tendencies.  That means that you may not be actually having sex with or being sexually intimate with men right now.  But, if the right situation presents itself, you may become involved with a man sexually.  Now, whether you will just like guys then or not, I don't know.  However, anything is possible with anything.  Just take you time and find out what makes you feel good as a person and what makes you feel good intimately and that will be your answer.  Don't worry about the label too much.

Hi Mathias, think of the terrible price that Jesus paid for your salvation and the agony He endured for you in the garden of olives, think also of the rejection that He endured and still does to win you the grace to live by Christian standards, now if you can do this then surely it is enough to let you know that spilling the seed of life that God gave you is indeed sinful and is not what Jesus would have you do as if it was right.\nthink to of your Angel Guardian who is at your side and has to turn away from you whenever you resort to this, you are like the rest of us, weak so pray for the courage to stop this degrading act

The bible says LITERALLY that lust is a sin.  Your reasoning is very good...  It is ok to appreciate someone for their body, but not to follow up on it.

As a Christian, i want to apologise for the answer of some other people calling themselves Christians. Certainly i believe what the bible says about homosexuality, but i am always amazed at how little Jesus actually has to say about it.\n\nHe is far more on about loving God and others than about judgement of people who are gay.\n\nSo buddy, i reckon that what you are working through (your sexuality) is perfectly normal. It is always nice to have other people around who know how you feel. \n\nYou would be surprized how many of the people at your school are gay as well. Starting a gay youth group may be one way to find out who they are.\n\nJust be careful not to get yourself into a place where adults can take advantage of you.\n\nDON'T DO ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH!!!\n\nif you are not sure. it's better to just say - 'no i don;t want to do this anymore'.  and then if you feel like trying it again later, with a different person - go for it. God is big enough and ungly enough to cope. and he will love you at the end of the day whatever you have done.\n\nSee ya.

There is nothing wrong with being gay, be proud of who you are.  \nNow search for a GOD that you want to worship and who will accept you.   GOD is all loving\n\nDEMOCRACY IN HEAVEN

i think that you are totally right. liking someone of the same sex isnt a sin. god loves everyone and it doesnt specifictly say any where in the bible that gays and lesbians and going to hell. no one knows for sure. i thin kyou should turn the other cheak when someone tries to tell you that you are sinning because of what kind of person you are interested in! if god didnt want people to like other people of the same sex than why did he make htem that way? it think you should be you and not listen to anyone who puts you down! dont ever change because of something some one says to you!

in my opinion no. you confess your sins to God and accept him into your heart and you are forgiven. the sins hang over your head kind of as a reminder to not do them again and that they are wrong

Uh...yeah....\n\nIt's totally normal to be confused. You could be having gay thoughts but end up being totally straight. Or vice versa

WE are taught in scripture that we are to love the sinner and hate the sin.  So you are not wrong to feel the way you do.  And I agree it is destroying the foundations of civilization, as it always has every great civilization in history before they came crumbling down as it became more acceptable.

Well, all I can say , is what does your heart tell you. It sounds like you are confused. You have to think about everything, rationalize a little bit, think about the pros and cons and why it may be right or why it may be wrong, then YOU Decide. \n\nI have my opinions about that. I don't agree with it, but that is me. I would never turn away from someone who is gay, it's not my business and it is certainly not my place to judge someone. \n\nIt's your choice , do you feel like it's wrong? remember everyone has their opinion. ;)

I am straight myself.  But if you have sexual feelings for the same sex and none for the oppisate then perhaps you are.  You have to really think about this one

Did you enjoy it? Did you seek it out? Did you ask for it again? Is this a recurring behaviour? If you answered yes to any of these questions it still doesn't mean anything! Lots of people have isolated same-sex experiences. And it is entirely possible that you may be bisexual (everyone always forgets about us!). If this was forced on you that is rape and does not "make" you gay any more than me going into a church "makes" me a Christian.

Thas not true.  I am neither one of those but I can tell you that God says no sin is greater than the other.  Wether you murder your parents or do a man when your a man thats still sin to him and every soul may seek forgiveness.  You may not be correct in your actions, you may not follow all the laws of god, but you can still believe.  God says that taking the same sex to bed together is a sin and he also says that gossip is a sin but nine out of ten times i bet you do that, so what makes you or anyone else better than the other.  If you are gay or a lesbain, to me, that is your sin, you will answer to god just like me for my sins.  Which is greater?  How can god put a scale on how bad you hurt him?  A sin is just that, a sin to god.  Worldly pleasures are just worldly pleasures.  Just try and live your life as correct as possible for god and it shouldn't matter if you're gay or a lesbain.  Just let him know you believe and ask him to live in your heart.  If you truely except him than the lord will help you discover who he has planned for you to love.

To the one who thinks he's the Bible and God expert. Being gay IS NOT a sin. Doing "gross" things with people of the same sex IS a sin. People are born being gay, so they can't do anything about it. Nobody can force you to like someone.

There's no "political sin" and nothing to be forgiven. If you 've been saying what you feel to be true, where is the fault? I will never apologize for my opinions or emotions because then I would only be a liar to both myself and the people I've compromised for. If you feel like you're going the wrong direction, just change it. Don't dwell on past actions with regret because ultimately they bring you to the point you want to be at (if you're lucky enough to find that point), and there's really no other way to get there.
