Is it normal to have my faith and be gay?

There are plenty of people faithful to god that are homosexual (The pope for one lol). At this point churches all over the place are raising rainbow flags, even the catholic church has your back. There are sinners far worse than you (theifs, murderers, adulterers) that pray for forgiveness, and remain faithful.

I assume you're more concerned with what god thinks of you, than what people do. God loves all his children. And he wants people to be free to make their own choices, and find him by making the right ones.

God gave us the impulse to do wrong, and the power to overcome it. From Adam, he never intended for us to be slaves to his rule. He told Adam, he'd die if he ate the fruit... what did he do. Ate the stupid fruit. God was betrayed, but never loved Adam any less for it. He gave him provisions and sent him on his way.

I don't think you should be terrified of being sent to hell for laying with other men. In the end it's your choice, what do you think you should do? I don't know if the solution for you is to live a life of celibacy. Or if you can be a god fearing man while being with other men. But if you're feeling lost, the best thing to do is ask god. Not strangers on the internet, not your pastor. Talk to god. Only he can show you the way.

I know gay people who are religious and goes to Church every Sunday. They were accepted by other christians too. For example, in the Philippines, there are 92 percent religious people, however, most gay people are accepted and aren't discriminated from going to church every sunday and treated like normal people based on my observation. A famous gay person named Vice Ganda, an actor and comedian, are loved by the filipino people. He is also religious. Some of his movies are one of the highest grossing films and his ratings qq

its the Jew that condemns gay There is not a single Greek word or phrase in the entire New Testament that should be translated into English as “homosexual” or “homosexuality.” In fact, the very notion of “homosexuality”—like that of “heterosexuality,” “bisexuality,” and even “sexual orientation”—is essentially a modern concept that would simply have been unintelligible to the New Testament writers. The word “homosexuality” came into use only in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and, as New Testament scholar Victor Paul Furnish notes, it and related terms “presume an understanding of human sexuality that was possible only with the advent of modern psychological and sociological analysis.” In other words, “The ancient writers . . . were operating without the vaguest conception of what we have learned to call ‘sexual orientation’.”1 (In the rest of this article I shall use the terms “homosexual” and “homosexuality” strictly for the sake of convenience.)

Not just y'all .....us to

You are normal and that is ok, but most traditional or conservative communities may still discriminate you. Jesus himself never condemned homosexuality, but Paul and some passages of the Old Testament did, and interpretations about these excerpts vary according to the believer, the community and denomination. More liberal Christian communities would have no problem in accepting you, and even individually, you can still keep your faith, though you may feel more comfortable after adapting it in order to better accept yourself. In terms of finding your place, there are thousand of liberal Christian communities around the world and online, and you could look for them in order to find other people like you. In any case, I wish you peace and good luck in your quest.

i actually just talked to my preacher and told him about how i have feelings for men and that i truly believe in god and he said that the only sin u can do to not go to heaven is to not believe that.

Yes. Being gay is not a sin in my opinion. I think that people are born gay so that God must have created you that way and why would he see something he created as a sin?

I completely understand what you mean and where your coming from. But know that the way you're feeling about being gay is a sin in the Bible. God wrote in it that it is a sin to be homosexual. No you are not a bad person and you're not going straight to hell but i really would advise you as a sister through Christ that you should really repent that sin like you would any other. It is very hard and conflicting because we are all born sinners in a dark world with confusing emotions that lead us to death and twist everything but you have to remember that in the Bible is says do not lean on your own understanding but lean on the knowledge and wisdom of Christ. We feel a lot of things that seem natural and uncontrollable but we need to remember that we are imperfect humans who have been separated from God through are sin but we can be freed by that with Jesus. I know it seems impossible and hard and that theres no way out of the feeling of loving a man and lusting after one but all things are truly possible through Jesus. just pray about it and repent it. I really suggest you read your word and gain knowledge. Just please start following Him today and obeying Him and His word. He will be so pleased to see your obedience and to let you into Heaven. i will pray for you too because i personally struggled with this and know it's a struggle. God bless you and best wishes.

Jesus was just a normal human. Belief that he was some kind of divine entity are absolute sci-fi nonsense. It's fair to believe the universe might know what's going on in some way, but all the father, son, virgin Mary stuff is patently bollocks. Heaven and hell are all in the mind. You won't be burning anywhere!
