Hi all, ive seen many many threads on homosexuality that feature loads of unfounded opinions from harsh christians, loving christians and non christians alike.

So i decided to start my own question and answer thread, i myself was completely gay but was healed by God and am now completely straight. So seeing as Im a christian both when i was gay and now, and Ive had lots of experience on the subject, ask me any questions you like :)

People can believe that Jesus was the Son of God but that does not make them Christians. Even SATAN believes that Jesus is the Son of God. But that does not make him a Christian. A person that practices homosexuality is NOT saved. A person that has tendancies towards homosexuality but does NOT practice BECAUSE they believe in Jesus and know that His word says it is wrong, CAN be saved. There is a difference. But there is no such thing a a PRACITICING homosexual Christians for the two terms, homosexual and Christian Biblically conflict with each other.

May I ask how you received deliverance from the bondage of homosexuality? I'm really glad you are free from it now!

First of all i definitely was a christian during my gay period, i know this because i would talk to God and He would talk back to me, also ive been saved pretty much all my life. It was a struggle for me to come to terms with loving Jesus as well as loving men but I want to make it clear that during that stage I was still a virgin, i never acted on my feelings, and i truly hated the fact that i had them because I knew my emotional and physical attraction to guys wasnt glorifying God and it certainly wasnt His will for me. But let me also point out that a homosexual is not someone who just has sex with men (acting on it) it is the complete package of emotional attachment, repulsion of the female body, attraction to the male body etc etc its many many things so in a way yes i was a practicing homosexual christian but in a another way i wasnt.

I was freed from my bondage through Jesus. Basically I just prayed and believed and allowed Him to work in me. He started by changing the emotional side of things by convincing me, teaching me and showing me just how able I was and am to be a man, and how precious I was to Him and as a human being with a unique personality. Then He Himself changed my physical attraction to men.

As for my side of things, i just needed to have faith hope and love. Faith in God that He would heal me and help me through the process, Hope in the future wife/soulmate He had created especially for me and Love for myself and being comfortable in my manliness.

I understand only one in seventy million persons recovers from being gay. I commend you, that is a Real miracle! Has it been difficult recovering? I understand that it is a difficult psychological and emotional revovery. I am sure it is hard spiritually, too. G-d must love you so much to save you from a lifestyle that so few people never make it away from. G-d love you, always. I hope your way is always easy for you to fulfill what G-d has obviously called you to do.
Amen.

It is a miracle, because it was literally all God. It was only difficult in the judgment i received from christians, the healing itself was really smooth and even though the process was a little hard God was with me all the way. And at the end of it I was so happy to finally be free so the time after being healed was truly wonderful for me and in no way difficult at all.

I truly think its sad that people dont recover from it, but i definitely believe that if they completely rely on God and keep the hope and faith in Him and let Him work in them His way then they can be successful. After all God wants us to be healed cos homosexuality is an abomination to Him.

quick question, why do you type G-d? I've seen it again and again in these forums and I don't get it?
What's wrong with fully typing out the word God?

And Lad, awesome testimony,..

Thanks :)

And as far as I know its a Jewish thing to not say the whole name of God which is why they say Yehoveh instead of Yahweh. I think its just something to do out of respect for Gods 'elohimness' or 'high above us ness' lol and his holiness :)

Yes im attracted to women now but its a different kind of attraction, instead of lust-based its not love-based. so im not alll like "OH.MY.GOSH! BOOBS!" *commence drooling* lol because i dont see women as sex objects but as beautiful creations of God and I look forward to a lifetime with my wife.

LOL i just say 'straight' and no i havent dated, because i dont believe in it, i believe in courting which is where one day God will say BAM there she is! and ill ask that girls father if i can court her, and if he says yes then i would spend time with her falling in love with her and her with me in the company of either mine or her family and then eventually marry her and spend all of my life with her.

Who is anyone to judge who is saved and who is not? Homosexuality is a sin. So it lying. So it over eating. So is sex outside of marriage. All is worthy of death. We as Christians can judge that someone is sinning and approach them in love, but only God decides who is saved and who is not. Stop pointing your self righteous finger at others and worry about yourself.

Lad, I think you have an awesome testimony. And sexual bondage is difficult, whether it is homosexuality or sex outside of marriage. Such a violation of our bodies have deep seated roots in our hearts and minds. I commend you for being willing to admit that it is sin and surrendering it to God. Especially in today's world where the world is trying to tell us it's not. I think you are very brave for sharing it and I hope your testimony will help others. I know it has certainly encouraged me.

Thanks for being so open and willing to answer questions.. Since being healed do you ever feel attracted to men at all? Do you have interests stereotypical of gay men such as .. fashion, etc? Have other interests changed since you were healed?

Yes to some degree I am still attracted to men but its so weak now that i can easily ignore it. And yes im a very stereotypical gay, i love fashion, im somewhat of a feminist, i often find myself talking in an accidental 'gay' way or flopping my hands etc etc but all of that is part of my personality not my sexuality so to me its got nothing to do with being gay :p :D As for 'straight' interests i didnt really pick them up, i still hate sport etc but im no longer afraid to play if its a group activity or do 'manly' stuff whereas i was before.

As i said, im physically attracted to men but NOT as physically attracted as I once was, and i was prepared for this because God told me I would continue having a small attraction. And i am attracted to woman physically, i look forward to the day where ill have sex with my wife, i just dont lust after women like most guys do. And as for the interests thing, as i said interests, stereotypes etc are all part of someones personality and nature which God creates us with, it has NOTHING to do with our sexuality and its the worlds view that it does that has had such a profound impact on the increase of homosexuals. I dont act as though im a homosexual, I act as though Im Jayden, which I am.

I agree :), we are not to judge. I don't know why people focus so much in the YOU ARE GOING TO HELL 'CAUSE YOU ARE GAY like if other things were less of a sin , as you pointed out, any sex outside of marriage is a sin, lying is a sin, etc,etc.
If christians hadn't separated homosexuality as another sin without cure, maybe we would see it like what it is: Another sin some people have to struggle with more than other people, so this way we can encourage each other to overcome that sin. But well...now the world sees it as something that is normal.

So Lad, you have my admiratioon , I stand up and applaud you , haha. I guess it's not easy to admit it and then accept that is wrong when the entire world tells you it's not. What a miracle really.

And I have a question for you . After you got healed, did u consider to stay single or you immediately decided you would like to get married someday?
