I would like to add that I don't think homosexuals need to feel that they will necessarily be the same sex that they are now in the next life. It may make life easier for them to hope that 1 John 3:2 (Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever it is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is. ) (From Net Bible) means that they will have the body they feel most comfortable in, in the next life, if they can control themselves in this life. God wants us to be happy on the new earth and I am quite sure they would be quite contented in a body they are desiring even now.

uh

no

not all

not even a wee bit close

Why do you say that? Jesus is human spirit and we will be also, not angels or other types of spirits, so what's left except male or female? Enlighten me, please.
Jesus is not a 'human spirit'

He is the Son of God and not born in the natural way

Read John chapter 1 and perhaps Revelation as well

I ALWAYS WONDER...ONE OF MY BOSSES IS A LESBIAN AND THEY HAD A DAUGHTER THROUGH SOMe kind of medical procedure if they would turn to Christ would they have to divorce?
they certainly could not continue in that lifestyle and God does not see their marriage as a marriage

the Bible is clear that a believer should turn from sin and not embrace it

I don't imagine that would be easy but if a person is 'born again' they should have changed desires or at least desire to put the sin away

I think about how hard it will be since they thought they were Christians on the right road and in their minds they were in love and have a family loving each other...now to have to separate..and the kid involved how that would twist their mind... I know it is what has to be done...since they believed a lie...and try and turn from it is why I compared it to the rich man going to heaven..but I think this would be much harder.

I think that would be an obvious choice...if you have feelings with her and if you continue your communication and knowing lesbian is a sin your opening up the wrong doors to temptation..don't make it harder getting snagged into it see it for what it is ...and walk away...or better yet run "away"

I recommend a sincere heartfelt prayer to God for guidance. This is probably not something that you're going to be able to accomplish alone. I have said a prayer for you for God to address this area of your life.

Yes, I believe that you should so that you will not be tempted and your thought process muddled further on this matter.

No, not really. You just need to find a way to look at them differently than you are now doing. Perhaps you just simply find it easier to relate to girls rather than guys for some reason.

just jumping for temptation ground yourself in the Lord to the point you have no doubt its wrong and when your understanding is understandable to you...to where a question like the one asked by yourself it will be clear to you..the answer..if you need the tools, read Proverbs 8 then you can talk to girls with wisdom and having to starve that idea from your head by separating yourself with the same sex and focusing on the Lord you will be stronger...put on GODS amour am/pm Ephesians 6:10 to protect yourself. ;)

I'm attracted to new car lots, does that mean I can go against God's law and steal a new car? Homosexuals are not the only ones who want what they can't have, we are all tempted by something. Being tempted is not an excuse to have what God does not allow. Jesus says if a part of your body causes you to sin cut it off, today we have surgeries for that. What we don't have is excuses to sin- sin is sin, and there are consequences- God disciplines those He accepts as a son or daughter.

You can make friends with anyone, and at the same time set up a boundary which neither can violate without destroying the friendship. As they say, fences make good neighbors.

The Bible is clear about this subject. Read Romans 1. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, galatians 5:19-21

And thats just the new testament, we all know what Leviticus has to say on it, dont we :D

In other words: bible does NOT approve of it.

I am also in a predicament with this where I know someone who is practicing that lifestyle, and while he is a fun guy to hang around with, I dont think its right either.

Its heart breaking really, what some people go through. ALL sin is negative, remember.

They would not stop of there own natural volition. In that way no one can serve two masters (the flesh and the unseen Spirit of Christ).They would or could stop if they desired to do the will of God. God can take a believer who sins against Him early .

The gospel can take away a ungodly desire by giving us a new desire that can please Him as he does work in us to both will and perform His good pleasure.

I would sincerely like to ask. Has the pray the gay away thing EVER actually worked for someone?
I understand its a touchy subject to talk about, but if someone has experienced it working, I would gladly hear your testimony, you can PM it and obviously its between us only, OR you can give your testimony here in public if you so please.

But I was just wondering, has that EVER worked? Im asking because I am assuming that gays feel the same kind of attraction to the same-gender as I do towards women. And no matter how much I pray, I dont think I could ever stop feeling attracted to women. Then again you could say apples and oranges, one is natural one is not, but still.

God wants us to be happy on the new earth and I am quite sure they would be quite contented in a body they are desiring even now.
I would agree and offer the father of lies seduces men to believe he is the one that "brings about change". As if he could create anew to begin with.

What God joins or calls together. Satan the counterfeiter calls separate. And what God calls separate, the father of lies calls together. Turning things upside down is his method of operation .

Its like what someone said in respect to history; in so much that it repeats itself. Human nature does not change Technology does change but hopefully not change us. It cannot make a person wiser than they are and therefore smarter than they are.

At the rise and fall of any kingdom, tribe, family on earth the bottom line was morality as it was when Christ came . There was homosexuality in the Priesthood along with other sexual violations even in the high places, the churches. The place where judgement begins.

When Christ came he restored the proper kind of goverment back to a period before there wicked kings in Israel a period He used as a parable to represent that time period.

Christ finishing the work as the glory promised elevates the woman back to the rightful place of her husband who represents Christ not seen.. At the same time humbling the husband to be one with his bride. Restoring its proper order as Christ loves the church ,His bride.

It must of put a wonderful effect or freedom for husbands and wife's to love in a new way as Christ loved us His bride the church.

The time of reformation had come. The period of Kings in Israel that was temporally used as a parable to represent the pagan form of government, walking after that which the eyes see and not the faith that comes by hearing God. Therefore confirming the kingdom of God does not come by observing the things seen of this world the temporal.

Below we are informed the work of the Holy Spirit signifying or using a sign as a sahaow of the unseen to reveal the spiritual understanding. That understanding or interpretation of God was used as a parable using the English word figure from the Greek word "parabole".

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, "imposed on them until" the time of reformation.But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Hebrew 9:8-11

The words above .Not made with hands is "the holy unseen place" reserved for the glory of our father in heaven alone.

We are not what we will be. It would seem to be the goal of the fathers of lies to create an illusion we are already in our new incorruptible bodies that are described as neither male nor female, Jew or Gentile but a new body .

Feeling like a person is a new creation is not the same as being one. The word marriage has left the chopping block what the next word to lose value in distinguishing the thoughts of God from those of men?

The LGBT mindset seems to be on the rise what's next. The end?

The scriptures define the word friend in respect to his own love he has for us .God is the standard.

Jonathon loved David his friend as his own soul . David is called a friend of God. God loves at all times. (no sexuality hinted)

1 Samuel 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

Jesus defines a friend as those who have no righteousness of their own self but one imputed by the work of Christ's faith that works in His friends. to both will and do the good pleasure of the labor of His love.

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. James 2

A friend loves at all times but only God loves perfectly. His love is first and foremost patient as in long suffering so that it can perform another aspect of His love, it is kind. If not patient it could not be kind.... following that order to the end. Love does not rejoice in what God considers wrong doing.

You can be a friend and work as God gives a person strength to love.... regardless of what those that surround you do . Perhaps God's love will give you the peace to continue or the strength to look for others associate with as it seems you have by beginning your quest .


Romans 12:17-18 King James Version (KJV) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
