Hi, my name is Jax, and I’m new to Christianity. I’ve recently been on a meaningful faith journey and finally feel ready to connect with a church.

That said, I’m a little nervous about taking this step. I’m queer, and my family isn’t supportive of my faith. It’s been tough navigating all of this on my own, and I’m really hoping to find a church where I can be myself and feel welcome.

Would you be able to give me any advice on what you think I should do next?

Many Thanks,
Jax

I would start by reading the bible each day and praying for God's guidance on how to apply what you learn into your life. I recommend that you start with the gospels that are at the beginning of the New Testament. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.

Welcome Jax. Jesus came to set the captives free. You do not have to remain "queer".

hi and welcome, I take it you mean by queer. your a homosexual.

When you say your family are not supportive of your faith is that because there of a different faith ? Or for some other reason.

But since coming to the faith have you stopped having gay sex ?

I only have seen parodies of woke families on YouTube that are very exaggerated; so sorry if you are having to deal with that kind of family dynamic. You are welcome here at Christian Chat, to learn, adapt and be molded, to become more like Jesus.

A lot of the comments on this thread so far show me that some people here don’t know how to communicate properly, to someone who is trying to repent and needing community in their life; regardless of the sin.

I’ve actually walked away from churches because of people like that because they obviously did not have the fruit of the spirit in their lives but thank you guys for commenting and revealing yourselves to the entire Christian Chat community.

A lot of comments ?

What do you mean by comment.

A person asks for advice but doesn't tell us, or paint a full picture of his situation.

It's impossible for anyone to give such a person advice who is asking for advice.

Secondly I never hear a gay person calling themselves a queer, and for that reason something is not adding up.
My advice would be go to a church he knows for sure the vicar is 1 hundred percent straight.

And stay away from churches that allow gay marriage.

If he is going to think about going to a church where by the vicar is gay then I would advice him to ask the vicar also if he is still living in sin and practicing. gay sex.

As someone with a younger brother, who goes to a school in Southern California, where a bunch of these teachers basically try and force you to identify as an LGBTQ, I think I have a heart for these kids who come here looking for community and servant leadership.

Well, apparently the definition of queer has changed in the last few decades, ever since the LGBTQRSTUV became a thing, according to the left. Where when I was growing up, queer meant gay but to these younger kids, queer has an entirely different meaning, due too a lot of the educational brainwashing.

So when you ask a person if they have had gay sex on a public forum, where the entire internet can see, I expect you or anyone on here to be a little more well-rounded and maybe think before we just write something so vulgar for the whole world to see.

It’s something that needs private messaging at least.

I also don’t believe that once someone is gay, they are gay forever. Homosexuality is a lie from Satan, confusing our youth.

I was about to sleep until I got called out but I am going sleep now. Good night.

Yes it's people like you that let these people continue to be lead astray and also give cause Christianity to Devide fight and argue.

As to why I say this is because your idea of truth is to attack me and call me vulgar in favor of protecting somebody boasting they are queer on a Christian web chat of all places to boast they are queer this is not one of them.

Well obviously I must of have come to the wrong place if this all ok going to be subject to.

Then let's look at the vulgar remark,. Let's see

What is sin to you ?

If i asked are you still committing adultery after you confided in public and told the whole world your cheating on your partner
Would that still be vulgar then. ?

Why get so offended really ?

Are you living in sin ?

Or have you even considered this ?

Would not one single person be made to think about gay sex after being told directly by someone there queer.


Or let's put it another way.

Can many people after being informed they are queer in a public Christian chat forum not be made to have the thought of queer sex cross there mind. ?

As I never asked anyone if they where queer I just opened this page with a sandwich and coffee in my hand only to made feel slightly uncomfortable with reading what I read.

But instead of being abusive like you I asked a mature question which you find vulgar

Obviously you must be offended for other reasons as far I can see as I can't justify your reason for.calling me vulgar ,

Oh and btw God finds two men lying down with each other abominable.

Oh and btw as Christians we are instructed to inform you it's not good to carry on living in sin


Peace and blessings to you

Okay, your nervous and have proven that by not responded for an extended time. Right off, that tells me something is amiss but not fully. When people come to the faith, they are as Jesus put it glad, not nervous. It's actually exciting, heck, He said even the angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner who repents.

But back to this nervousness, I don't wish to confuse as it isn't uncommon. Did you happen to consider it could be God sending you a gentle nudge to lead you along to a place that would be a haven for that un-rest? My advice, don't swallow the Devil's lie that has presently saturated the known world that ''I was made this way''. At the onset of your journey, member 'tourist' is right, start with the New Testament towards the back of your Bible, and you'll see them divided into what is called books of the Bible. I would forward through Matthew, Mark, Luke and finally start with 'John' and continue on through to 'Acts'.

One final note on your nervousness, it is absolutely imperative once you get your feet wet in John and Acts is to find a Church which basks in the Word of God and continue with them for a time. I call on all members here to hold 'Jax06' up in prayer that God would open doors of opportunity for the peace and joy the Lord has called us all into.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,
after you have suffered a little while, will himself
restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:10​

Hello Jax.

Your family who shun your faith, do they accept/support your attraction to people of the same sex?

The faithful in Jesus will greet you compassionately, but they won't give their blessing to your sexuality. With that in mind, the right church for you won't necessarily be the one that makes you feel most comfortable.

Welcome to the forums.

When someone walks into a church for the first time; do you greet them with love or ask them if they’ve had gay sex recently and are they done having gay sex?

Hi Jax , I also wondered why your parents might not support your faith , r they of a different faith ? I hope this is something that can b sorted out peacefully with them . I personally would assume that if u r ready to become a commited Christian , u have already made a start on studying the Bible . God has given us His Word in order to guide us to Himself and to help us to get to know Him and His Son , Jesus Christ our Sinless Redeemer . If u haven't yet started reading the Bible u should do so soon . When I first started I read it from the beginning to the end , Genesis to Revelation and I did it that way for many years . With regards to your sexuality , in my limited experience , most churches would not ask u about it . They r likely to assume that if u r single then u r celibate . If that's not the case then u should know that that is what most churches would expect from u . Mostly they r too polite to ask .

hi and welcome, I take it you mean by queer. your a homosexual.

When you say your family are not supportive of your faith is that because there of a different faith ? Or for some other reason.

But since coming to the faith have you stopped having gay sex ?
I’ll help you out.

Hi Jax06, welcome to the fellowship here at CC! What I suggest is to look up all passages in God's word that speak to homosexuality. This is not another person responding to queerdom but our Creator's warning. And if 'your faith' doesn't agree w/God then what is 'your faith' based on? We ALL have weaknesses to overcome and through the love and sacrifice of Jesus, we absolutely can. 'Nothing is impossible with God' Lk 1:37. I have myself given up fleshly deceptions. I pray you will value your eternal soul and ask God for help, like I did. God bless, guide & keep you Jax06🙏✝✡🙌
