Please nobody tell me that I'm "still gay". That doesn't really help. :)

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

God sees you as a STRAIGHT man once you repent :

Thanx Brittany! @Tommy4Christ you told me everything I already know! You don't know my full testimony! I was delivered and I gave my life to Jesus! I was free for a long time! I'm obviously just experiencing struggles! But thanx anyway!
God will never leave you nor forsake you, never ever. just keep seeking HIM, never give up nor beat yourself when you sin, just cry to GOD and ask HIM to help you. seek also counsel from pastors, and those you feel burdened in your heart to share.
out of experience of watching a lot of porn, i would say WHen you get close to GOD, you get far from it.

and drawing nigh to GOD, is through prayer, word reading, Listening to Gospel songs, and when the desires come and thinking also. REBUKE it brother. you are freed.

and most importantly.
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

I am going through the EXACT SAME struggle. I have been bisexual for 21 years, and up until a year ago, Jesus really started getting through. I still go to the trashy sites, but when I am done, I get this REAL strong uneasy feeling that I can't ignore. Proverbs 16 26,27 says that idle hands are the devil's workshop. So when you are tempted to type in a porn site address, type in a scripture to study. It IS okay to be around other men that used to be gay...as long as BOTH of you are focused on Christ. If you sense him straying, try to pull him back. If he doesn't want to, THEN distance yourself, BUT not in a hateful/shunning manner. You still have to love him, just as Jesus does. Proverbs 27 17 says Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man does the countenance of a friend". You and I can recognize when the other is going to fall before brothers that have never experienced homosexual desires will. My name is Jedediah Martin; [email protected]. I plan to go to places where homos gather to be a quiet light for them. When I see one that may be tired of that trashy lifestyle, "Hey man, are you tired...?" I wish someone had done that for me. So nobody can tell me that I would be wrong to do that. Jesus loves you, bro. Peace.

U knw we christians,shud understand that,jesus calls us righteous man nd we are not worthy to use such description for ourselves,therefore we come to god as sinners saved by grace,the bible says a righteous man will fall seven times.7 means perfection nd surely u will sin,bt rev22:14 speaks about wen christ wil come he says happy are those that wash their robes.bt there there's a differience wen u fall intentionally and unintentionlly.

Right you are. AND because we don't know when Christ is coming back ( although we know it is SOON), we have to be diligent to keep ourselves pure & ready for Him to take us up. If we have sin in our hearts He can't take us because He can't abide with sin. Hebrews talks about the unforgivable sin being when we come to know the Truth/Holy Spirit, and fall back into sin there is no sacrifice left for us. Christ can't die again, or Christianity has no real foundation. Don't look to the left/right, but stay focused on Christ while bearing your cross. It is hard for me NOT to get disgusted, and go look at nude men. GRRRR. 21 years of messing with other men is not an easy chain for me to break. But I have heart...JESUS IS BREAKING THAT CHAIN...AS...WE...TYPE. Your chains, too. As long as you stay obedient to Him. Jesus said that when a man cleaned his out, he did not replace it with anything. So the demon that previously dwelt there had NO problem moving BACK in. And get this...he brought with him 7 MORE demons that were more evil than he was. So the ending state of the man's house was worse than the beginning state. I think that is enough for now, lol. Talk more later.

Oh yeah, as I typed my reply, I was listening to Jaci Velasquez. Her voice, words, and spirit helps me somehow to stay focused on Christ. It may help you to find something like that. Find SOMETHING, a picture, a song, something you wear...something to remind you that you have a mission now. One that you can't (shouldn't want to) turn back from. You are free now. Now you should see how you are living on BORROWED time, and in a BORROWED body.

Jesus would say your sins be forgiven if we were in elizabethan english time but i think he would tell you you are forgiven and healed be jsut that you created in the image of God and he don't do those things so y would we and know that when you are tempting that you are not tempted of God and when u have endured temptation you will recieve a crown for overcoming and we overcome by our faith

I believe that it is going to be hard, but no I don't think you are still gay. It is in your mind and is a spiritual battle. The more time you have on your hands the more you will be tempted into old ways. Fill your time with using your spiritual gifts, teaching the word to others, finding a church group that gathers different times of the week, find christian friends to hang out with. Even if they do not understand you (no one fully understands someone, only God) so don't expect people to get you perfectly but it is still good to hang out with Christ-minded people because they can encourage you and you can encourage them.. this also helps you get past your temptations is to help others to not fall back either. Just fill up your time with prayer and other things that will bring you close to God. Our bodies go through a lot of hormonal issues and it is best to keep your mind off of it until you're married. If you honestly have been close with God that day then looking at porn will feel incredibly awkward, and thinking about Guys in that way will feel even more inappropriate.
