hi guys thanks for the replies. Just to clarify i was confused about being gay (I’m female) so went on a Christian chat and spoke to a guy called bob. He didn’t give clear answers and sent me a video called Jesus tattoo. I’m not trolling I just didn’t feel like typing the whole story. I’m confused whether being gay is wrong.

Having thoughts isn't wrong the same way that having lustful thoughts isn't "wrong". Actions are against scripture.
Sitting around fantasizing would fall into a different category, but just having your own drive impact your thinking is natural up to a point.
Young males have many lustful thoughts straight or otherwise over their lives...as they continue to war against the flesh these things lessen over time as we gain self-control and obedience.
Take every thought captive
2nd Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;...and then I'd continue to read when you have taken that in.
Let's say someone has lustful thoughts about woman (as a man) and considers themselves straight but this is in opposition with holiness also. There is a certain idea floating around in the church (I feel) that adultery or "straight" sexual immorality is a lot better in the Lord's eyes than homosexuality. This is completely false. It is true they are different but they are still sin.
Sin ranking is incorrect thinking. There are distinctions in gravity vs "accidents" and willful sin but that's a different discussion.
If you have found lustful thoughts assailing your thinking to the point of convincing yourself that your orientation is somehow different just pray about it and talk to some people you know about it. I've had many thoughts about many different things sexually speaking...dreams also. Categories that are rarely discussed...I've only heard one sermon about a particular sexual sin mentioned in passing but I felt the Lord in it. He cares for the sinner and hates the sin...I heard when I was young before I even really knew what that was, but I did later.
I've heard many people be pretty insensitive when the preach/talk about homosexuality and just understand that there is a lot of hate propaganda out there that the Lord hates people that struggle with certain sins (their flesh)...That is a lie.
He wants you to be delivered, can and will do so if you turn toward him and lean on HIS strength and HIS righteousness. It's a battle for sure though. There's some pretty cool testimonies of people that have been led out of that and had their thinking reoriented. I'm not going to judge anyone for their flesh. Each person has been given different burdens to bear. You are NOT your flesh, but you do have to battle it daily. He does give rest though for sure

Firstly, you might not be a guy because speaking to a same gender do not make you a gay/lesbian, could be bisexual also
Joke aside, personally, i believe that people born with sexually loving the same gender is not sinful or abnormal. It is just that God gives you a challenge to experience and overcome it (with His help if you are willing). When you have overcome it and help others to do so, your reward will be great in heaven. Thats my personal opinion.

The idea that homosexuality or bisexual is a type of love, is a lie from the pit of hell. It is not, it is perversion and lust, and the lack of self-control; due to sexual addiction. No different than fornication or Crack. To call it love is deceit because it is not love at all. When personal opinion violates the word of God or Secular humanism replaces the Plan of God that is work of wickedness. Roman chapter one says it very well. Homosexuality is demonic ploy place in the world to mock the living God and to destroy man. That is all it has done.

Hmmmm, ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm not sure why it is relevant that bob sent you the movie or how the 2 are tied together...but
If we believe in the word of God, that every word is His inspired, then we need to come into agreement with the will of His. I am not saying it is wrong because of a personal opinion but God, the One who designed us for the opposite gender, does. He is very clear!!
I don't have this particular cross to bear. I am certain it is a burden. However, if you are indeed legit and seeking answers, might I suggest you take that particular question to Him.
Read the word, have an open and earnest heart to know Him. He is so much more than thou shalt and thou shalt not. Maybe....start in John. Talk to Him, believe in Him.
Seek Him first and all other things will be added. He loves you so very much and yearns to help you find peace, real sustainable peace, this world can not offer.
I will be lifting you in prayer, hoping He reveals His glory in your life.

what one believes or my innocence or lack thereof does not dismiss 'Truth". If I was not innocence than I too would be held accountable to the Word of God. I do not justify my sin by pointing at another sin. Your point is unfounded in truth. Gods plan for marriage is found in Genesis 2:24 One man and one women. That is it. Jesus also said it again in Matthew.

Hi Sis, With all love and compassion sincerely in Jesus name ..
I don't care personally and don't like to sound judgmental but if some one asks, I say what I know ..
If some one is or tells me they are then I must act accordingly which limits our conversation to pretty much Jesus only or either pure work business only...
If I don't know then I assume they're not and can speak the word freely as usual ..
I'm still working on my own shortcomings and working out my own salvation with fear and trembling with Jesus as author of my salvation ..
I do think being sexually attracted to the same sex is caused by a demonic spirit or abused by someone demonic oppressed or possessed at some point ..
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

The more Jesus in a person the more beautiful a person they are ..
I've never saw any man I wanted to touch unless it was to ring his neck
I've never ever seen a woman in my life that wasn't beautiful that acted feminine with Jesus .. I fell in love with Ruth and I know exactly how Boaz felt .. We have a few Ruth's on CC

I will recommend one piece of advice and please take it to heart. If you want answers to questions don't go making conversations with strange people over the internet and this "Bob" character is one that i would purely avoid. Get into the scriptures and find answers there. Now, the people here that have used scripture to back up their claims take those seriously by looking it up in the bible and study it yourself. The bible talks very clearly about false prophets that will lead you astray and this "Bob" sounds like one of them and I would hate to see someone get hurt or be given wrong advice over a serious issue.
