Question Posted Sunday May 1 2005, 10:53 pm
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 dont think that gays go to hell. You dont make the choice to be homosexual. It chooses you. You dont just wake up one morning and go " gee today i think im going to be homosexual " and then because of that you go to hell. because i dont think anybody would do it for fun. You cant help the way you feel. You cant choose the people you love. Your not going to hell because you love someody of the same sex. You dont just voluntarally just say hey, ill be gay today. it just happens. so when you think about it, it says you choose to be homosexual-so your choosing to go to hell? no i dont think so. nobody chooses to be gay nobody chooses to go to hell, it just happens. its just there. please remember this is just my opnion [ XxKaTiExLeIgHxX's advice column | Ask XxKaTiExLeIgHxX A Question ]
Michele answered Monday May 2 2005, 2:49 pm: Hi son,
I am a christian, and I do not think homosexuality is a sin. God made all of us, and he made gays too. I don't believe that God meant us to hate anything humane as long as no one gets hurt. consenting adults is the key here. I do not like people who abuse children though, but most pedophiles are heterosexual. So. here is my advice. You can't help how you feel, and you can't help who you are attracted to. But you must be strong and ready to be dissapointed because most people do not feel that way, and will not like the attention. This boy you like, you have to be sure that he feels the same way, that he is gay. Until you know for sure, you have to keep it to yourself, and if you find out that he likes girls, then you have to just keep him as a friend. All of us at one time or another, love someone who does not love us back, gay or straight.
You have a lot more to worry about and that is your family. But I don't think you have to worry about God, though you won't find that answer in our christian doctrine, I just want you to know it in your heart. God did not write the bible, man did. Jesus loved everyone. As long as you don't hurt anyone, you are a good person. Just don't go out of your way to get hurt yourself. If you persue this lifestyle, you will make a lot of new friends and good friends, but your family may turn on you. You are too young to think about that now. Actually you are too young to even be having sex. So just be patient, give it some time, and when you are older, persue thelife style that you want. But be safe, you know about the sexually transmitted diseases right? I just don't want you to feel bad for who you are and what you feel. You can't help it. But you do have control over your actions, and you KNOW if you persue this lifestyle NOW, you will be bringing a lot of trouble on yourself. Get an education, become independent, and then persue the life you want. There are some strong christains who are gay, and they have their own churches. They are good christian people. I am sure you can find them on the internet. search on christian gays.
I hope this helps

cailoisa answered Monday May 2 2005, 9:22 am: 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. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]
LilBSUBabe08 answered Monday May 2 2005, 3:02 am: Ok, I am a christian and have been since I was like 10. I was raised in a chirstian family, so, I think that I can help. First off, I, for one, do not believe that homosexuals go to hell. Thats just crazy to think that. God loves everyone. And that excludes NOONE! Now, on a more personal note, I also, personally, do not agree with homosexuality. I think that since the bible says it is wrong, then, point blank, it is wrong. End of dicussion. However, I know a few christians who are either lesbian or gay and they get along just fine. I dont think that it really matters if other people thik it is right or if they accept it. I think that all that matters is if you accept it and you can live with it. Just pray to God about it and ask him to lead you down the right path. If you think that being homosexual and christian is not wrong and that you can live with that, then, that is your choice. Noone can make that decision for you. However, if, deep down,you think it is wrong and you cant live with it. Then, I say it is time to change. And God can help you do that through prayer and worship with him. I just really do not think that other people's opinions matter in this situation. Hope this help. The ball is in your court now. Its up to you to figure out. I will pray for you!
