I'm hoping to find someone to relate to. A little about me well, I'm from the US I struggle with same sex attraction but have recently learned after all these years God does not hate me and indeed just wants me to control my feelings. And that he also, really just doesn't like any sin and really does seem to know what's best for me. For the most part, I have a heart of gold and really just want to talk about how God accepts us all for who we are and makes us who he wants us the be. And how is love and mercy is so wonderful. I'm also on a search just to see if God has made a man on this Earth who is not controlled by his desires but one who actually loves God as much as I do. Basically, just seeing if there are actually gentle, kind, God fearing men on this Earth. But mostly, I just want to discuss God and get other people's thoughts and interpretations on the Bible.

We all have something wrong with us. If we didn't then like Enoch, HaShem would simply take us. It is when we turn to Yeshua, and open our hearts to Him, that we can see, it is in our weakness, that His strength is seen the most. Ever read the poem FOOT PRINTS. If not I will happy to find it and post it on here for you.
My pray for you.
May HaShem guide you, and give you strength, Teaching you His word through His Spirit, sharing in your triumphs, and carry you when you are lost. Placing in your heart the Shalom that can only come from Him.
Peace and a blessing
Amen

Well thanks everyone really for all the love and prayers. It all means so much to me. It's refreshing to be reassured others actually do love God the way I do. I pray he blesses you all for just accepting me with love and kindness.

My grandma who passed away in December used to have the footprints poem hanging up in her house. But for the life of me can't remember the poem. If you could post it that would be great. Thanks

Homosexuality is a judgment from God.

Homosexuality is: forbidden (Lev. 18:22), considered an abomination (1 Kin. 14:24), punishment for (Lev. 20:13), unclean (Rom. 1:24, 26, 27).

...For the most part, I have a heart of gold…
Jer 17:9
…[A]nd really just want to talk about how God accepts us all for who we are…
Re 21:27
…[A]nd makes us who he wants us the be.
Are you willing to allow him to clean you up? Ps 24:4

The wickedness of Sodom ([Ex 20:14]
heterosexual [Lev. 20:10–12] or homosexual [Lev. 20:10,13]) was notorious (Gen. 13:13).

One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

J, that isn't a serpent in her emoji. It's meant to emulate a stripper on a dance pole. :/ SerpentDove is just a troll looking for attention, don't even engage her.
