Giving up something you are attracted to is not easy.
We all have that problem in one way or another.
Don't think sin isn't one of the most attractive pulls in our lives. Sin is attractive, very very attractive!
Don't let anyone kid you into thinking it is not sin just because you think you are pulled towards it with such a irresistible force.
Do you believe Jesus? Or do you believe the lie of that attractiveness in sin?
If you don't allow Jesus to Rule over that thing you don't want to give up, then what do you expect? You have to give up that something in order to
gain freedom from it. That's the whole premise of many of the lessons in the bible.
Nothing happens if you don't look for change. Ask yourself,
are you offended by the word repent? If so, then you will never find a solution to this quandary you say you are in.
If you want to keep it, and hold onto it, then what does that say to you?
It says you don't really want to change. Vain requests get you nothing. You have to be serious in wanting to give it up to be free from it.
If you don't want to be freed from it then why are you looking to Christians to help you cope with something that is taught in the bible as being an wrong behavior? You can't expect to get sympathy from those who don't ignore the truths in the bible. You can' only get sympathy from those who ignore the biblical truths. If you refuse to repent of the things that are manifesting as problems in your life, then what do you expect? sympathy and acceptance because you refuse to get out of something that only brings trouble into your life? If you want to remain in the homosexual mindset, then you better be prepared to not be accepted by people who know it as being sin. How can you expect any different? You can't force a wrong mindset to be thought of as a right thing. It just doesn't work that way. No matter how much the homosexual community tries to force their behavior onto the whole of society, they will always find they are in the minority and will not be accepted. They are the minority 10 to 13% out of. If you want to be in the minority, if you don't want to change your mindset, then what do you think your life will be like? You will be no different than the person who refuses to stop being a prostitute, or the person who refuses to stop being a thief, or the person who refuses to stop being a drug addict. It's like saying you are what you are and if you don't like it then too bad, I don't care how much others say it is wrong.
Listen, I've been down that road of living in sin. It is not a good pay off. And if you refuse to believe that, then you are not going to find any help.
You only get help when you want to turn towards that which brings blessings into your life, It means to turn away from the thing that is bringing problems into your life. Homosexuality only works to bring problems into your life. If that's what life style you want to join then I pray for you to see that it doesn't work. You would only find more trouble in that type of life style. Not to even mention the risk of diseases you are playing russian roulette with, and all the promiscuousness amongst the gay community, you must be aware of the risk of injury of a perforated colon can kill you. And at your age, you might be caught in situations were jealous men will be fighting over each other. :-? Let alone going to gay bars when you are older. That scene is nothing but sodom and gomorrah enacted out in public places. Is that what kind of people you want to be around, is that what you want? :-?
Think about it.... To not want to repent, to refuse repentance to be the first step towards making a change in your life.....
That's like going to the Jesus and saying you are a prostitute but you will not stop being a prostitute but you still in spite of His saying to you to go and sin no more, you come right back at him and say please help me be accepted for who I am. I refuse to change and Let you tell me to go and sin no more.
That's like going to the cops and saying you are a thief but you will not stop being a thief but you still saying to them please help me be accepted for who I am taking claim to.
That's like going to a drug rehab center and saying you are a drug addict but you will not stop being a drug addict but you still say to them you want to be accepted for who you are.
IF you truly want to get out of this type of mindset, and are really serious about getting help then you have to not toy with it and you have to be willing to give it up, meaning to repent, to allow repentance to come into your life as the first step towards finding help out of this type of life style, no matter how strong the draw, the pull to stay in it is. We all have a thorn in the side that we must learn to overcome. Let Jesus teach you what it means to be stabbed in the side from the sins of man. How to overcome that sin. He will teach you how to live without giving into that sin that keeps whispering in your ear to follow it. You have a choice, you can either give into the sin or give into Jesus and allow him to steer you away from that life style and mindset, into a place in which you GO and sin no more. He said it to the woman who had many husbands, he will say it to you also. To Go and sin no more. It is up to you to listen to the truth in the Word of Jesus and not what man tells you as if it's okay to continue walking in that sin! Jesus wants you to be free from it, not to walk in it. It is up to you to follow and obey and believe that what Jesus teaches you is truth, not what the pull of those thoughts in your head are trying to do. And you must stop believing these people who tell you it's okay to be living in that sin and come join them in their group that accepts those who are walking and refusing to give up their sinful way of life. They pull you away from Jesus who is telling you to Go and sin no more. You need to read the Words of Jesus and believe and obey him. No one else. Just follow Jesus and your life will change for the better. You must die in "spirit", that old "spirit" of perdition, it must be left behind, and the "new and holy spirit of Christ Jesus" must be what you listen to and follow. Other wise you will be against what he teaches, and that would be living in defiance of the blessings God wants you to have in being whole, to not be lead by the thoughts that bring sin to manifest into your life, instead of blessings God meant for you to have.
If you just want sympathy because you don't want to give it up but only want to be accepted, you are looking in the wrong place. This is a Christian Forum that is not here to promote the gay agenda but to help you overcome the mindset and to be set free from it, not find sympathy or a reason for staying in it.
If you want real help there is help. You have to be persistent in getting it and sticking with it. If you give up then you would not be following the teachings in the bible. It takes a whole lot of persistence and hard work to overcome those things that come to whisper in our ear and try to make us look elsewhere than on the teachings of Christ Jesus.
Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience,
I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
