Thread: A question for Gay Christians?

Are you celibate? And if so, how do you do deal with it? Do you watch porn, satisfy yourself at all, or just live without any sexual release? I am trying to live as a celibate Christian male and I need the help.

Are you gay, or are you just trying to be celibate?
I want to know to give a better informed answer.

Not gay, but porn is not a christian outlet at all. I think self gratification is not good, but if it keeps you from violating God's law then it will have to do until you mature in your faith and get control over your sexual desires.

Personally I would recommend fasting and praying to God to remove this sinful urge from you and bring you back to harmony with his natural world.

I cannot imagine the struggle you are undergoing. But, I know God is over all and can see you through this dark time.

Don't, you'll make yourself ill. God wouldn't have given you sexual feelings if he didn't want you to have them. He didn't want you to live a life or torture. The ancient doctrines where all this is written down have been corrupted by people over the years, to suit their own agendas.

I am so heartbroken that a young man would ask this question.

I do not see why any self-respecting gay man would allow himself to be sullied with Christianity. The fact that you express needing to "deal" with your feelings as if they are not valid is tragic.

To my eyes, you're no different than an abused spouse asking how to keep your husband from hitting you again.

And the answer is the same-find one worthy of you.

It is the same as hetorosexuals not having sex outside of marriage...

as a gay man you DON'T have to deny your feelings, but must refrain from sex.

However, in terms of masturbation or even lust...realize that NO ONE is perfect, man is BORN into sin and there are some sins (especially lust and sexual gratification/desire) that just come natural....DO NOT beat yourself up about or stress over it.....as as a Christian all of your sins are forgiven and washed away, just refrain from it, repent if you make mistakes and trust that Jesus Christ's death will save you if you are ever to slip

Same way a Christian straight male should avoid fornication outside of marriage. It's a struggle yes, but Christ says those who deny themselves and take up their cross will be rewarded by the Father...

Dont gay people move straight to hell?
