I wasn't going to post here because I believe more "mature" christians would have better comments on this post than I. However, I don't quite understand the purpose of pointing out one person's sin (rebuking, I understand that) and then leaving them high and dry. That's like saying someone is going to hell without pointing out the saving grace of Jesus. We should be lifting people up as well, right? Please forgive me if I'm wrong or I'm making assumptions. I'm always up for learning. I don't want to speak for anyone but I believe that's why the teens in this thread have responded as they did. Again please point out if I'm wrong, I'm always up for learning.
And I say this with no disrespect to anyone.
The gay community considers their sexual orientation apart of their identity so when one calls it a sin it IS like you are attacking them personally. I hesitant to admit this because it's my shame to bare. I once considered myself bisexual. And, yes, I know it's a sin. God is changing my outlook in life and I'm SO thankful for his mercy, but I don't want to get off track in what I wanted to say...
Levi, I'm not sure what you were expecting when posting this on a Christian website. You seem like a smart guy.

You are bound to have heard what the bible says about homosexuality and if you don't then I encourage you to look for yourself. I remember being 14 and how confusing it was. I hated it. I was too young to do anything but too old to do things as well. I think you are looking for who you are in all the wrong places though. Try looking to God to find who you are. You are trying to find love in all the wrong places. God loves you more than anyone on this planet. He's the only one who can satisfy that "need to be loved" feeling.
And imho people aren't born homosexual. You are NOT defined by who you are attracted to. *Really* think about that, doesn't that sound silly? It's okay to think outside the box in how this world wants you to perceive and take things.
Anyways, I hope I helped any ?? and not made things worse. That wasn't my intention of this post. Sometimes on this site I'm afraid to post because I think someone is gonna jump out of the bushes and attack me for my thoughts! Lol! Silly!
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS I COME IN PEACE
