Well The answer is Simple 
Give it to God.
As a person who struggled with it for 7 yrs i know.
I know what it is too be in secret and deal with it on my own.
But you see that was the Problem right there .
It was in secret .. therefore i knew it was wrong and then me thinking i could deal with it on my own.
We never have to do anything alone because God is beside us every step of the way
You have to surrender it all to Jesus.
Every piece of it and cry out to him.
The good thing is you realize its wrong because it is. Its a perversion of Love. God say One man and one woman. Do not let this world Fool you and tricking you to thinking it is okay. Because its not my friend. .
So in saying that. Lock yourself in your room . Turn off all the distractions and confess to God. Tell him to break the chains of homosexuality. And cry out to him.
The Lord is a deliverer and a GOD OF RESTORATIONS
He has delivered me and By the Grace of God he will do the same to you. God Bless you !
If you need to talk you can message me.

Honestly, being gay isn't a sin, but the lustful attributes to it are. Love alone cannot be sin, but lust can. Many heterosexuals struggle with lust, and it's not a straight or gay thing. Also, the bible correctly translated, translates this Greek word meaning 'older men who had sex with men' which in the translation to English, things got splurged. Unfortunately we are not at the time where we get the fresh bible for what it is as it wasn't sent straight down from God in English, but props to you who know Greek and Latin.
People shouldn't be comfortable in sin as Christians, and that goes for any sin. Sin=sin, there's no 'greater sin'
God Bless you all.

People are pretty shallow and stubborn on this topic as Christians, it's unfortunate. Especially when I saw a moderator bashing on gays over gay marriage. (think he was the Robo guy or something)
You can be a modern day Christian and be the less-judgey old time baptist.
Some people give us Christians a bad rep.

Turn your ways, repent of your sin. and Start an amazing journey with God. He will forgive you, and will teach you things you never thought posible. Gay/Homosexual is wrong, no matter how people package it with a nice ribbon or bow. The fact its forbidden By God. However God still loves you, and all. God loves you, but don't like the sin homosexuals practice. If anyone is really determined to give up there ways, and not just say it just for the sake of saying it for a forum. you have to mean it, repent and ask for forgiveness. and God will bless you as you start your great journey with God.

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
[QUOTE]Let me start this off with a quote from a famous lesbian, Lynn Lavner:
"There are 6 admonishments in the Bible concerning homosexual activity, and our enemies are always throwing them up to us - usually in a vicious way and very much out of context.
What they don't want us to remember is that there are 362 admonishments in the Bible concerning heterosexual activity. I don't mean to imply by this that God doesn't love straight people, only that they seem to require a great deal more supervision."
Remember this throughout this article.
I am going to attempt to keep this short and simple, so here we go.
Some claim that Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 clearly say that homosexual sex is an abomination. In fact, it merits death. Isn't it obvious that God hates homosexuality?
Yes, depending on which translation you are using, Leviticus does say, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female, it's an abomination."
However, a few points must be made about this statement:
a) It appears in Leviticus, which was given to preserve the distinctive characteristics of the religion and culture of Israel. However, as stated in Galatians 3:22-55, Christians are no longer bound by these Jewish laws. Even if you, for some reason, argue that these "laws" are still important, then you surely follow all of them, right?
It is interesting that people who use Leviticus against the Queer community forget the part that talks about religious sacrifices, making women sleep in tents outside during their period, the dietary restrictions placed on them and how to cleanse a leper, all of which appear in Leviticus.
The laws of Leviticus are completely obsolete for today's Christian; however, even if you do claim to live by the laws of Leviticus, it is not fair to pick and choose which laws you are going to live by, or condemn a people by, if you are not going to follow the others. You should not need any more convincing evidence than this; but if you do, be my guest.
b) The word that was in the original work, "to'ebah," which was translated into Greek as "bdglygma" actually means "ritual impurity" rather than abomination (or enormous sin). These passages in Leviticus can be translated to not mean homosexual sex generally, but only limiting homosexual sex in Pagan temples.
c) This passage does not denounce homosexual behavior as a whole, but just the specific act of anal sex. This was meant for the prevention of disease. It was ruled unclean because it was physically unclean; however, hygiene has made wonderful advances since that time.
d) These passages in Leviticus can be interpreted in many ways. I have seen it interpreted by scholars and priests to mean: "don't have sex with another man in your wife's bed;" "don't have sex with another man in the temple;" and "don't have sex with another man and pretend he is a woman," just to name a few.
I have never seen an interpretation in any Bible, or from any scholar, that specifically says to never have sex with a man.
Some claim the Bible simply does not support gay marriage. Chapter two of Genesis defines marriage as a holy union between a man and a woman. And later, in Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus himself reiterates the traits of a traditional marriage. How can you argue that anything other than celibacy is honorable for gay and lesbian people?
Yes, marriage is a holy union. However, in these passages, while Jesus reiterates (but does not require) the traditional marriage, he also provides an exception for eunuchs (castrated men - or otherwise impotent men, in today's terms), and allowed them to be married, saying that this law is given to those to whom it applies.
Because these eunuchs were born sexless, God made an exception for them because it was natural. The same applies to the Queer community today. Science has proven homosexuality is completely natural, so it seems God would allow for homosexual marriages.
In Matthew 19: 4-5, Jesus encourages a traditional path, but does not discourage alternatives, except in the case of divorce.
Jesus did stress purity of marriage, but not in regard to the sexes of the people within it. It can be seen that the reason that churches are against homosexual marriage is not because it is explicitly said by God, but because of a lack of instruction to specifically allow it.
In the time that the Bible was written it would have been impossible to foresee the future to be able to specifically allow or forbid homosexual marriage.
Some claim, in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, he lists homosexuals amongst the many sinners who will not inherit the kingdom of God. Doesn't that make God's position on this vice very clear?
If we look at the other types of people listed in this passage, we can understand what it is actually talking about. Law breakers, thieves, adulterers and drunks are specifically mentioned. The word "homosexual" was not found until the 1890s, so it would have been impossible for it to be in the original version.
What actually appears in the original is Paul condemning those who are "effeminate" and "abusers of themselves with mankind." In this context, the original Greek word, "malakos," is translated into effeminate, or soft, which, more than likely, refers to someone who lacks discipline or moral control.
In this passage, when Paul condemns "abusers of themselves with mankind," he is speaking of male prostitutes.
Then there are the people who claim that, even though science has proven that people don't choose there sexual orientation, the fact remains that homosexuality is unnatural. Romans 1:26-27 tells us that humans have a sinful nature, and therefore commit sins against God. Certain people are predisposed to be alcoholics and pedophiles, but that doesn't make their actions any less immoral. God tells us to "tear out your eye" if it makes you stumble. Why can't you just accept homosexuality as the part of your nature you must deny?
Because the Bible has gone through so many translations, and through the hands of many people (some being non-believers), it is not surprising that the meaning has become a little fuzzy in parts.
Homosexuality is normal. The phrase "para physin" appears in the original text for this verse. This term is often translated to mean "unnatural;" however, more accurate translation would be unconventional.
Proof for this can be found in 1 Corinthians 11:14 where Paul uses this phrase to refer to men with long hair (unconventional, not unnatural) and in Romans 11:24 where Paul uses this phrase to refer to the positive action God made to bring together the Jews and Gentiles.

You have an immoral sexual addiction and need recovery. I recommend you do tell your parents and also provide them with some recovery group materials so they can begin educating themselves on how best to help you recover from the immoral sexual addiction that has you in bondage.
They may wish to pay for counseling and there are a number of self-help groups to help you as well. Try Celebrate Recovery, for example, though there are many others operating throughout the U.S..

Charlesbro,
Your profile says you are a Christian.
Where do we find the gospel; that special information about Christ, that allows us to believe, and become a Christian?
The gospel, and ALL information about Christ comes from... the Bible.
That is where all information about Christ comes from.
If you are a Christian, your Christianity is wholly dependent upon the bible existing, and on the bible being true.
The mere statement that you are a Christian, means you have begun to accept, and believe, information from the Bible.
It isn't a very prudent, or honest approach, to take a few things from the bible, and then reject the rest of the bible.
If the bible is true, and if we want to be honest, then we must accept all the teachings of the bible.
The bible points out many many different types of sin.
We are ALL guilty of sin.
We are to turn to Christ, and repent from our sins.
Well... one of the many sins mentioned in scripture, which require repentance, is homosexuality.
You can do whatever you like, and say whatever you like... you have free will to do so.
But anyone who wants to be a Christian, and be an honest one, must take heed to the Bible.
The sin of homosexuality doesn't mean the person involved in that sin is any worse than anyone else.
Sin is sin.
And we are ALL sinners... that's why Christ died for ALL OF US.
I have sin, you have sin, we all have sin.
We are to repent, and turn from sin, and turn to Christ.
I don't get to commit whatever sin I like, and expect God to ignore it... and neither do you.
All of us are to TURN FROM OUR SIN.
All of us.
The bible is clear that homosexuality is one of MANY sins, that we are to turn away from.
No one gets to do whatever they please, and still be right with God.
We are all sinners, and we are ALL to turn from our sin.
God Bless,
Max

I believe in the gospel, but I have the knowledge through research that parts of the bible are often perceived wrong from the translation into English. The bible didn't fall from God into our English speaking hands already in English, flaws are very possible.
We must believe in the TRUE MEANING of the gospel for what it is, not what mis-translations say.
God bless you brother.

According to your LIKES you chose to be a man or whatever thing you like... I haven´t kissed an man in the mouth, I never thought I would do that, althought in childhood I had some homosexual experiences I´m not proud of and those NEVER made me "homosexual" because those DECISIONS were wrong, ill biased, because before I were a teenager, my sexual drive were not shaped with the wisdom of my will, and my will was to be straight according to my INNER man, according to my DECISIONS. I once failed, yes! As an homosexual, a sinner, IT WAS MY CHOICE then I knew WHO I was and found out I was not homosexual, because I was not homosexual. IF any thinks He is, THAT´S HIS CHOICE.
