first off im a really good christian.. i love going to church and worshiping and stuff. i love sharing my faith with people. Im baptist raised. Im 14 years old and im a male.
So it all started a long time ago. i dont know when or where or with who exactly but it was like when i was in 5th grade. im in 8th now. but last year in the 7th grade i met the guy.. and we become really good friends. but i started having weird feelings for him that i wasnt sure about. at first i didnt know what it was. as the year went on, the feelings only continued to grow. then i realized what it was... i liked him more than a friend. but it couldnt be, not to me... its totally against my religion, against everything ive been thought by my family. the year ended.. and i was so confused. that summer i started going over to a friends house like everyday. and while in his neighborhood he introduced me to a couple of people there. and the moment i met one of them, hes was going into the 7th grade then, (a year younger than me) i knew i was hooked. i went back everyday that i could to my friends to see him. by this time i was totally giving into my feelings. i couldnt help it. all my life i was told that homosexuals made a choice to be that way. and in the bible it says that homosexualy will not be welcome into the kingdom of heaven. but i didnt make a choice.. it was just liek the feeling when you like someone... well i liked him a lot. the more i got to knnow him the more i liked him. i knew it was wrong, but i didnt care. and then i started looking at guys (mostly younger than me) and thinking they were cute.. and thinking perverted thoughts and stuff. which is a sin. (its lust) and every wednesday at churhc when we would be worshiping i would ignore the calling of god tellimg me that i was wrong, that i had to change. well.. a couple months ago i was fed up with it. i had to change, i prayed about it and it really has gone down a little bit. im not as obsessed as i used to be. but its still there. basically im looking for your view. 2 other pepple know and they are really big helps. really this is just for the christians cuz if you tell me that im wrong in thinking gays are going to hell, im gonna ignore it. because mo matter who right you think you are, your wrong. just tell me what you think.
I'm not a Christian any more, but I was a Baptist until I was 16. I don't remember anywhere in the Bible where it says "Gays go to hell." I do believe that the Bible calls homosexuality a sin, though. Find as many supportive people as you can. I have always found that pastors are great help in situations like these. It's possible that it's just a phase that you have to work through.
I appreciate your situation, and I would never tell anyone to change their beliefs. However, as a side note, if you want someone to be supportive of your beliefs and situation, saying things like "no matter how right you think you are, you're wrong" is rude and closed minded. You know, treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. I wish you luck with your situation, and I hope everything works out for you.

its not like i meant to be rude.. its just that i know that people are gonna say that they dont htink gays will go to hell. which you have your beliefs and i have mine.. and in the bible it says that homosexuals will not be welcome into the kingdom of heaven. and i knew people were gonna say that god loves everyone and gays arent going to hell. well i just told you guys flat out that if you say stuff like that that its not gonna change my beliefs. im not sayin you tried to or anything. im just sayin... but all i wanted was what you guys thought.. and i thank you for giving my your thoughts.
