What to do....

Guest
I need help with this one, because i really don't know what to do about it.

My best friend is male and we've been friends since we were 4 and a half when we started Primary school. We're really close friends and i even started to have feelings for him. I thought about how i could possibly tell him, but i lost my nerve everytime because i am a naturally shy person unfortunately and i was also afraid of it ruining our friendship.
I short time ago, he had a secret to tell me first. He told me he had feelings for a guy.

I was, and still am kinda in shock. It's not that i have anything against people loving the same gender, infact i just want him to be happy, but of all the people in the world why did it have to be the person i have feelings for and have known the longest??

It felt like being hit by a ton of bricks. >_< So i am just wondering whether you have any advice for me. What i am supposed to do now and how i am supposed to stop myself feeling really jealous of his boyfriend.

Any help would be really appreciated.
 
At least you found out now BEFORE something became of you two. Two of my ex boyfriends from middle and high school are now gay. Go figure.
:-?

All I can say is to pray for him. He needs it since he is sinning. Maybe he will leave that lifestyle and something COULD become of you two in the future.
 
TAKE A STAND FOR THE TRUTH!
Please do not waver, else truth be lost!



Be blunt and truthful! This is not a matter to take lightly or ignore!


Talk to him about the truth of the meaning of the word sodomite.
Ask him what if someone called him a sodomite? Would he still consider
that to be okay?
Being gay and being a sodomite is no different. Tell him to not ignore the
truth of it!

Sodomy is an abomination in the eyes of God. And for good reason!
It ruins a persons life! That lifestyle has the highest suicide rate and
many of them are severely depressed people. They think turning gay will
solve their problems, but it only makes it worse for them.
He needs to get help before he gets pulled into a life style that only
confuses truth and deceives more and more as time goes on. It robs a
person of truth about what God intended for us in relationship to each
other.

He needs to learn about the truth about what being a sodomite really is
and does to a person the more they get pulled into that deceptive life
style.

Sodomy is ungoldy and a sin. Get help for him quick! And yes! people
should be against same sex relationships! Why would you think it is okay
to do such a thing? It is totally against all that God intended for us. It
defies the truth of what man a woman stand for in a loving relationship.


Ask him to please reconsider his thoughts and find the root cause of why
he thinks it okay to be a sodomite. Do not use the word gay to him. And
if you lose him because he insists on being a gay then what friend was he
in the first place? You are trying to help him not make an enemy out of
him. He needs to learn beforehand, the REAL TRUTH of what that life
style is all about! It is like being a drug or a sex addict. It is not healthy.
It is destructive!

You come to a Christian place for help... If you want
to Trust in the Holy Word of God, you must learn it and know it! And stand
by it and live by it! else, you be decieved instead.


Ask him if he wants to spit in the face of Jesus and deny the truth of the
Holy Word of God. If he is any kind of Christian, he will reconsider and
not act like those who defiled the Holy word of God as thos who did in
Sodom and Gomorrah. History still stand true! The bible is full of lessons
about fornication and sexual sin and the damage it does to self and others
involved. If he wants to sin like that God will not stop him. God will only
be there for Him when he TURNS AWAY FROM SIN and LOOKS TO GOD'S
HOLY Word for salvation from that sin. You have to understand that you
can't sin like that and still consider yourself as living IN the Spirit of Christ.

How can you sin if you are focused on the life that is sinless. Being IN the
Spirit of Christ takes lots of determination and trust in the HOLY Word not
the SIN FILLED LIES OF THE Deceiver!

I don't mean to scare you or be so blatant. But the truth is that IF he
choses to go sodomite he will be headed down the wrong road!

Please understand this, the devil comes disguised as an angel of light and
if you don't have the Holy word of Christ Jesus in you you will be deceived
and fall for that trap of sin. You will get snared by that trap.

See if you can help him out of that type of thinking.

There are plenty of organizations that can help him out of it before it
takes the course of destruction on him. Can you and him attend church
together? What state are you in? Maybe you can find a good bible
believing church that has a good program for preventing homosexual
behavior. Maybe someone here is close to your area and they can help
you find a good church. Don't give out too much personal information to
anyone. Just ask for a list of churches in your area and that should be
enough for you to go on. Maybe you and your friend can find a good
church together.


Do some research and help him see the truth. Ask him to be
open enough to do research about that life style before he jumps head
into it and it does aweful damage to himself.


I don't know how old you are, but here are some articles about teens and
homosexuality and also, some other ones for all ages and adults.

Please seek to help him!
If you lose him as a friend don't fret. Stubborn hard hearted people will
then learn the hard way and you can do nothing else but to try and help
them see the truth. It is up to them to TURN TOWARD the TRUTH in the
light of the Word of God.

God provides TRUTH ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO
TAKE HOLD OF IT!


Ask Him to please not deny the truth and go on this journey of
educating yourselves about the Horrible truth of what SODOMY really is
and does to a person!
There are far too many more horror
stories about homosexuality than there are happy endings of that kind of
life style! It is not a Christian life style. Don't let the ones who think it is
tell you that lie! If you don't know the truth in the bible you will tend
toward beleiveing lies that are potential towards harm. That is exactly
what the wicked nature of spirit wants. To make people belive lies that
only destroy their character and life. Please. Know that this is a spiritual
battle that is set out to ruin people. You have to know that difference
between good and evil. you have to learn to know that evil comes
disguised as an angel of light and if you don't know the truth in the Words
of what Jesus taught while he was alive, you will not know what the real
truth is. Please, don't disregard until you have learned the Words of
Jesus for yourself. Read it. The new Testament isn't all that long of a
book! Here, listen to it if you are too lazy to read it. http://www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html
If you need help finding where in the New Testament it speaks against the
homosexual fornication. Please ask and we'll help you. or go find it in a
concordance at http://www.studylight.org just type in the word
fornication and vile practices, use keywords similar to that.

Please let him know it is not the right road to take! And if he does, he will
be making a horrible mistake. God made man for woman and woman for
man! Not for homosexual fornication! Please make him see it is wrong to
turn away from the love of a woman. And same is true for woman to turn
away from the love of a man. They are meant to be together IN the
SPIRIT of love as taught by JESUS. not as taught by the evil spirit of
wicked vile perversion! Please help him see this truth. Tell him you love
him enough for him to see the truth of the wrong doing of that type of life
choice.

Please do try to help him see the truth of it. Do some research together.
Tell him you love him too much to stand by and watch him destroy his life
like that!

Take the straight and narrow road and God will provide.

Take the wide and crooked road, and you will for sure run into the devil
and his wicked ways of things that look good but are not good for you.

Take your pick.


I pray for you both.

What does the bible say about homosexuality?
http://family.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/...aqid=1219&p_created=1044995750&p_sp=undefined


What should be the attitude of a Christian toward those who are gay?

Answer

That is a very important question considering the related
turmoil going on around us. I feel strongly that Christians have a
scriptural mandate to love and care for all the people of the world.

Everyone is entitled to be treated with respect and dignity, even those
who are living in immoral circumstances. There is no place for hatred,
hurtful jokes, or other forms of rejection toward those who are
homosexual. We cannot hope to win others to Jesus Christ if we insult and
wound them.

Remember, too, that Jesus was more compassionate toward the
adulterous woman caught in the very act of intercourse -- a capital
offense in those days -- than He was to hypocrites in the church. That is
our model for how to respond to a person living in sin. Indeed, we should
be trying to reach out to those who don't know Jesus Christ, which is
impossible in an atmosphere of hostility and fear.

Also, it should be remembered that there are celibate homosexuals who
are trying desperately to live godly lives. Many of them struggle every
day to do what is right, fighting inner battles that rage like wildfires. These
men and women need every ounce of compassion and support they can
get from Christian people who know of their tendencies. Often, however,
they are rejected and excluded from the church community because of
fear and misunderstanding by those who find them repulsive. This is
wrong! These individuals need the community of Christ and the fellowship
it can provide. They must be embraced as fellow believers who are trying
to please the Lord and conform to a standard of moral purity. How can we
do less?
