I Am Worried Because I Am Gay...

I Am Worried Because I Am Gay...

I am dan a nursing student in Philippines and I like dancing, surfing and writing my personal jounal entries. First, I am worried because I am gay. Not in the sense that I am afraid of going to hell because I know am not. I was raised in a protestant faith and I understand very well the essence of christian faith that only by claiming Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior can get you to heaven and also by being true to that declaration you made by reflecting good deeds. I have never done any immoral acts although I surely know I am gay because I like men.

If ever I would find a man whom I will fall in love and in the same way he will propose love to me will it be a sin to be with him? What are my options then if it is wrong?

Well, there's no quick answer to this issue. But there is a REAL answer. First, it's not simply "claiming Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior" that gets you to heaven. He's the only way, but claiming something is sort of shallow. I can claim I'm a burrito, but I am not one. Besides, God warns us that it is possible for people to do miracles, pray, and do the Christian thing... and then one day Jesus says... "Depart from me... I don't know you" Read this in Section 3.33 of the Book of Hope.


To be a Christian means to "follow Christ”. If you choose the way of Christ WITHOUT repentance, then you choose the world... not Christ. The Bible makes it very clear that homosexuality is a sin. Therefore we must repent of that sin… LIKE ANY OTHER SIN. It's no different. I believe that if you are truly following God and living according to His Word and listening to the Holy Spirit, you will KNOW it is sin. If you listen to your flesh, you will NOT know it is sin. Your question about getting married. Well, marriage by definition is the union of man and wife. Not man and man. No, Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuality, but he made it very clear that man is to leave mother and father and cleave to his WIFE. He didn't say to "another person", or a "spouse", but a man to his wife. Nature makes it very clear, Scripture makes it very clear, and common sense makes it clear. The problem is... "The way that seems right to man... leads to death." You need to embrace God's Word by confessing your sin and turning from it. Now, God has given awesome resources to help men and women leave that sin behind.
