Your body is not the boss of you...your brain is (liz lemon quote lol)
Hormones are jerks and they lie to us all the time. I would say 'especially when you're going through puberty' but that's not true. Hormones are jerks always, it's just that as you get older you can distinguish between hormones and body chemicals and ACTUAL desires. You also get slightly better at ignoring social pressure (some people never learn to ignore it or even identify it... but it should be easier for Christians, I'd imagine).
I think it's great that you have such a good friend that you're so close to. Friendship is a bond that can last a lifetime. Hormonally driven sexual encounters, however, can really only haunt you for a lifetime.
Let your hormones cool down so you can think clearly... that means waiting a few years.
Don't feel pressure to put yourself in some kind of social box and stake claim in a sexual identity. That's all an illusion. Society tells you that you have to do that as young as possible and your body is ready to start reproducing so it's pumping out this nonsense that's screaming at you to partner up with someone... and it's not developed enough to help you discern a good partner from a bad one! Stupid bodies.
There is a lot of junk out there (and in you) but you gotta learn to cut through it. Educate yourself! And really please don't be in a hurry. You have the rest of your life.

Read my other post on this thread. It's about midway through page 1... I think it more accurately represents what the rest of these fella's who're opposing you are trying to get across.
Again, though, it's not my place to judge another person's servant (God's servant, perhaps.) It is my place to try to help out a sister in Christ who's in error... (Or at least, I perceive it is so.)

Of course he will!
If you are close to Jesus you will change in the outmost postive way
That does not say that you are going to be Hetro... There are a lot of christian gay people out there that pray to Jesus and are changed and strengthened by him without turning straight.
Jesus goal is not to change your sexuality but to guide you to him.

HisLastWalk, surely not everyone will have the same experience as you.

It's really inspiring
Thanks for sharing that
Kayleigh, yeah..I had similar experience from you. The difference that i was more attracted to lust. I did some horrible thing which abided to it. Sometimes, I had lustful thought and literally to almost everyone. I even sometimes thinking of how gays had sex or being intimate. It was sinful and yes i was being tempted. But Christ has saved me. Deep in my heart i know it's wrong, but i just couldn't stop it (I think it's similar to you in this way).
It took me like 1 year to stop the actions, half a year to start a new life with Christ(I had repented, but "re"repent again) and another year to segregate it from my life (although sometimes these thoughts suddenly come into my mind). It's hard to renounce it, I know but with prayer, it actually really helps.
I've started reading bible again, going to church again, meeting with fellow christians, listening to hymn and it actually helps my determination stands firm.
I think your problem, your wonder and thoughts wouldn't just go away in a click. It takes time, step by step but always remember, He is there holding your hand in walking this difficult path.
It would be really easy if you just abide to the temptation. However, you would lose the fulfillment and hope in your life. God makes those laws because it's good for us. We follow these rules out of love don't we?
Ok, I'll stop being nuisance. You have our support and His care and you'll get through it by letting Him works in your life, I guarantee

You should not compare everyone in the world with yourself and your experiences since we all are different. And that goes for your relationship with God.
I say it again... they are a lot of gay christians out there and Jesus have helped them and changed them but not made them straight since Jesus loves them anyway.

SMH. speak for yourself, not everyone will have the same experience
Did I ever say "God wants you to be gay"? I just wrote that I've personally never struggled with my sexuality (which is pansexual), and that not everyone's sexuality will change .
I haven't repented of my pansexuality, and I don't feel the need to, I'm with a man anyway so as far as most know I'm straight, ha.
!!!! (added for emphasis)

I do wanna say this, the bible only condemns the ACT of homosexuality, so simply struggling, or thinking someone is attractive, isn't necessarily a sin.
I'm sorry if I sounded a bit rude.. I never tell gays they will go to Hell (because I'm not God.) but I will tell them they can find freedom, and all that other stuff
