As someone with same sex attraction and choosing to live a life of celibacy and no romantic love, why is wrong that I don’t want to hang out with anyone in the church? lol I get the whole fellowship thing, but I come to church listen to the sermons, speak cordially and then leave. I just don’t understand what conversations I need to have with anyone there? Talking about our love for Christ? I don’t have to talk about that. Or talking about what problems we are facing in life, I just don’t need to know, neither do they need to know mine. We’re not friends. Why is this perspective wrong?

How do you find peace knowing that you tell someone who is same sex attracted that they must be single and celibate for life while not having to or requiring yourself to bare that burden simply because you are heterosexual?

I want to come to a place in my spiritual journey where I don’t desire anything. I go to work and church, obey the law, remain single and diligently work till the time is up on this plane. If God said He would offer be gifts, I want to say, I want nothing.

I don’t have anything to spread. I don’t like God or want to obey Him but I have no choice because He will throw me in hell if I don’t. So why should I spread a gospel of if I don’t see it as good news?

I’m trying to understand this logic but I simply cannot. What is wrong with homosexuality and what is the harm that it causes for two men or two women to love each other? Why do we strip gay love to sex acts but when we talk about sex acts in heterosexual marriage the criticism is not to reduce their love to sex acts? Is the heart behind this prejudice truly the voice of the Holy Spirit and how do you accept the freedom you have as a heterosexual to fall in love while knowingly stripping gay people of that opportunity because your sexuality immediately conforms to what’s common?

If homosexuality is truly a sin and I have to be part of a church community that teaches homosexuality is a sin, then I would just not talk or hang out with any of them. Since God is forcing me to celibate for life or go to hell then it’s best to just remain silent in His church. I don’t need to talk to any of them about anything or be part of a community. I just go to church and leave.

If there is no real reason to talk to them, do I have to? Not really interested in the whole socializing thing and certainly not into hanging out or talking to them about my life and vice versa.

I am same sex attracted. I want to trust God but I cannot trust Him with my sexuality when it feels like He will allow heterosexuals sexual freedom in their marriages that He will never allow me because I am same sex attracted. Please. I don’t care if you think that being gay is curable or can be stopped. There is a difference between what is true and what is real and what happens in between. I don’t trust God that He actually cares about me when the whole world revolves around people that doesn’t include me as a same sex attracted person. Don’t tell me about Paul or Jesus being single. Jesus had to be single because He is God if He were in relationship that would be frankly disgusting and wrong because of power dynamics. And Paul was just blinded by light. Idk. Everything he says sounds like someone who experienced something He can’t explain and built a world view around it. Please refrain from talking about choosing celibacy as an honorable life, I didn’t choose that life.

I am same sex attracted and believe homosexuality is a sin based on what I believe scripture teaches so I’m celibate for life. Although I believe Jesus did to save us of our sins, I don’t like the idea of being called a child of God. I recently found out that married heterosexual couples are free to have oral and anal sex in marriage and get to die sex toys. If that is okay but homosexuality is unnatural, then I don’t really understand who God is. It feels hypocritical and uneven. If I don’t understand who He is, why would I want to be called His son? I obey the law because it is didactic and I believe if I don’t will go to hell. I don’t believe my actions will save me but neither do I believe I’m not supposed to obey the law. I don’t want God ever calling me His son.

Is it the point of Christianity to be heterosexual? Why do they rejoice more about them becoming heterosexual as opposed to just being celibate for life?

Just because I am same sex attracted doesn’t mean I need to be delivered so I can be attracted to the opposite sex. Just because I am single and celibate doesn’t mean I need to be cured so I can find a woman attractive. I don’t need to find women attractive.

Since homosexuality is a sin and I am same sex attracted, I am not happy that I have remain celibate for life even if I fall in love with someone. I don’t have good news to spread. I believe homosexuality is a sin and I remain single, but people keep asking me if I am not “evangelizing”. I’m not an evangelist.

Since I am same sex attracted, do you think God will honor a prayer that prays to never fall in love or be loved in a romantic way?
