I understand what you’re going through. I struggled secretly with this in high school and for a few years after. I still have to guard my thoughts. My advice is to read Psalms 139. God made you perfectly, He knows your thoughts, and He is always with you. Pray and praise Him for what He has already done in your life. Remind yourself He has a good purpose for you, He loves you, and He is Your deliverer. I would also find a worship song that you know and love, something you can sing or say when you feel bombarded and attacked.
Struggling with sexuality
Lately, I’ve been feeling attracted to women. I don’t know what brought this on or why it’s happening. What can I do to help me through these feelings. I’ve just been feeling super guilty about it, ever since it started happening. Any advice would be appreciated. Have any of you ever dealt with this?

Hello again, I wanted to clarify this. The guilt is not from God, it’s a part of the attack from Satan. He wants you to believe you were made flawed, he wants you to think that these thoughts are uncontrollable and that they are your own, and he wants you to feel bad for having them. God doesn’t want any of that for you. Psalm 139 says God protects you, He is with you always, and He made you wonderful from the beginning. It is not wrong to be tempted or deceived, and even when we fall into temptation Jesus redeems us when we repent. I stayed in that guilt for years. Trust me, if you continue to worship God, He will not leave you in this struggle.
Homosexual thoughts and tendencies in of themselves are not sinful. hat is who you are. You do not need to feel guilty. I have a dear friend who is a very strong Christian woman who happens to be pansexual. Does that make her less of a human? Less of a Christian? Heck no!I do believe it is wrong when you act out in these tendencies. That being said, God does not look at you and see everything you’ve ever done wrong. He looks at you as a forgiven child he loves so, so much. It hurts Him that you have to deal with all this confusion. But He will help you, he promises. Sending Christian love, and prayers your way. I hope you get through this season of uncertainty and become even stronger as a woman and a Christian❤️❤️😊😊🙂☺️

That’s a matter of personal belief. There’s a lot of scripture that says what you think matters, but temptation is not a sin. You can easily get into splitting hairs this way. Personally, I don’t believe that is who people inherently are or that people are born this way. Everybody’s story is different, but for me what made the biggest difference in my life is knowing that in Christ I am born again! God makes us each a new creation and He gives us the Holy Spirit to encourage, guide, and strengthen us. I don’t know your friend, so I can’t tell her story. Please don’t assume you know this woman’s story either.

Oh, and Romans 8 is an EXCELLENT chapter of the Bible.
Alright homosexuality is a sin. (Read Roman ch 1) but just to clarify, just bc It saids a life style is wrong does not mean that we as Christians should hate them (like Jesus loves everyone). Anyway, what I noticed that the bible has a completely different attitude on sexuality than our culture. Meaning it’s acting like what we have a choice on how we use our own bodies. (Like our bodies is a temple for the Holy Spirit so we must protect it) Our modern day culture is saying things like “u can’t control who yr attracted to” “u define yr own sexuality” “love is love” and really it just opens ourselves to get hurt. This is probably a spiritual attack and when these thoughts come, just pray and the Holy Spirit will guide u. Please do not feel guilty bc guilt does not come from god.
There is nothing wrong with homosexuality, love. You shouldn't feel guilty for something you can't control.

Please do not call yourself a CHRISTian and say homosexuality is not wrong. The bible clearlu says its wrong and so does a persons conscience. Unless of course its seared.

It is wrong. Don’t come lie

Many Christians disagree. The Biblical stance on sexuality is that anything outside of marriage between one man and one woman is wrong and is very damaging. You’re half right though. Guilt is not a part of God’s plan for our lives, but our desires are within our control through the power of the Holy Spirit. We live for Christ not for our bodies. God loves and wants a relationship with everyone, He loves us and is with us in every situation and is always waiting to give us grace and mercy.
