Ten points to anyone who gives the best advice?

I'm Bisexual....but I was raised in a very strict christian home, and also I live in such a close minded community. Everyone is like ewe she's gay she kisses girls and they're always pretty rude. But besides that which doesn't bother much, I just have conflict with myself, I keep thinking God hates you, you're going to hell, I even have nightmares about it. But I have such strong feelings for my girlfriend I love her with all my heart that I won't stop myself. I'm so committed to her, and she's the world to me. I just can't stop feeling guilty every time I say I love you or when I'm doing things with her. I keep imagining my family knowing or finding out somehow and it makes it worse. I'm always nervous too. I don't know what to do. How to stop feeling guilty with myself? Sorry to those who answered before, but I really need more detail...But thanks anyways :)Ten points to anyone who gives the best advice?

I don't believe in God, let's make that clear. And I won't use this opportunity to ';preach'; atheism. So, if you do believe in God and you believe He is infinitely wise, than he made you the way you are. There is nothing wrong with you and you are perfect in His eyes. He loves you just the way you are. So stop feeling guilty about being in love and enjoy it.
Unless God shows up in person and tells you that he hates you I wouldn't give it another thought. You know your girlfriend is real and that your love for her is real but the god thing is just something you have been taught by an organization that uses guilt as a tool to keep you in line with their beliefs.
God Does Not hate you! He hates the sin and is saddened by it when you know better but do it anyway. I do not know what else to say to you because you clearly know it is wrong as evidenced by your feelings of guilt and remorse. But be glad you are able to feel that way, perhaps it is the Holy Spirit of God trying to get your attention, the Bible says He chastises those whom He loves!
kinda blunt here but you cant expect people that are close minded to even think outside of thier own zone of beliefs,because of the area your in being close minded but im pretty sure your family would understand and besides it not wrong or immoral, thats all you need to know regardless of the spam of answer of thats wrong and evil you will porably get
To stop guilty, read a couple of books about what religion is and how it works, understand it controls you through guilt, and it will disappear.





May I recommend ';god is not great'; and/or ';the god delusion';?





Hell was made up JUST TO SCARE YOU. Look how well it works!
If Christianity isn't doing much for you, then try to find a more accepting religion. If you're dead-set on being Christian, find a Christian church that is okay with Bisexuality.
It's God trying to pull you closer. Listen to your consciense so it does not dull, and you will land in follies at every turn.


God made man and set him with a woman.


God didn't make man and make another man and a woman and say, go crazy and choose for yourself.
The fact that you feel something at all is good. You have not totally rejected the love that God has for you. But God is just and cannot ignore the wrong you are doing. Don't wait too long to really examine what is right and wrong.
Are you sure you want advise,or reassurance ?If your lifestyle is not making you happy,whats that say?You don't need advise you have already decided what your going to do,its just a matter of when.God bless

Always be true to yourself.





U are in a loving relationship. Why is that a sin?





Lighten up, dear. Life doesn't have to be that guilt-provoking.
Your just going to accept the harshness that you god hates you for being you
Do YOU believe in God? Why do you think you feel guilty?
Romans 1 26-27..it is a sin...about homosexuality..


saying that homosexuality is wrong is not a popular thing to do in our culture today.Yet GOD is not concerned with what is and what is not popular.He is concerned with peoples salvation and their obedience to his word.Just because homosexuality is viewed as an acceptable life style does not mean that it is not a sin.GOD declared it to be just that when he gave his law to the Israelites (Leviticus 18:22).Paul reiterated God's command on abstaining from homosexual sex in his letter to the Romans (1:26-27 as well as in some of his letters to the early church.
Move to a bigger city.
I think we both see the problem. And you just can't quite bring yourself to admit what it is, can you?





Note: I'm an Atheist, so you might get a hint from that.
Here is an article i found hope it helps --------------------------------------





As a young person, you may be experiencing a variety of emotions. What if you feel attracted to a member of the same sex? Does this automatically mean that you are a homosexual? No. Remember, you are in “the bloom of youth,” a period in which you are subject to involuntary sexual arousal. (1 Corinthians 7:36) For a time, your attention may focus on a member of the same sex. But having such an attraction does not mean that you are gay. In fact, statistics indicate that such inclinations usually fade in time. Still, you might wonder, ‘How do these desires start in the first place?’





Some say that homosexuality is rooted in the genes. Others say it is a learned behavior. It is not the purpose of this article to delve into the “nature-versus-nurture” debate. Indeed, it seems that it would be a gross oversimplification to attribute homosexuality to a single cause. Homosexuality—much like other forms of behavior—appears to be far more complex than that.





Regardless of the cause, the important thing to realize is that the Bible condemns homosexual acts. Thus, the person who is struggling with same-sex desires is presented with a reachable goal—he or she can choose not to act on those desires. To illustrate: A person might be “disposed to rage.” (Proverbs 29:22) In the past he may have freely given in to fits of anger. After studying the Bible, though, he becomes aware of the need to develop self-control. Does this mean that he will never again feel anger welling up inside him? No. However, because he knows what the Bible says about uncontrolled anger, he refuses to succumb to his feelings. It is similar with a person who has felt attracted to others of the same sex but who has now come to learn what the Bible says about homosexual practices. On occasion, an improper desire may still present itself. Nevertheless, by heeding the counsel of the Bible, the person can refrain from acting on that desire.





Granted, same-sex desires may be strongly entrenched. Be assured, though, that even deeply rooted wrong desires are not insurmountable. (1 Corinthians 9:27; Ephesians 4:22-24) Ultimately, you are in control of how you will live. (Matthew 7:13, 14; Romans 12:1, 2) And despite claims to the contrary, you can learn to control your impulses—or at least refrain from acting on them.





Reject Wrong Practices





How can you keep from getting involved in homosexual practices?





▪ First Throw all your anxieties upon Jehovah in prayer, confident that “he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22) Jehovah can fortify you with a peace that “excels all thought.” This can ‘guard your heart and your mental powers’ and give you “power beyond what is normal” to keep from acting on wrong desires. (Philippians 4:7; 2 Corinthians 4:7) Sarah, who struggled with the fear that she might be bisexual, says: “Whenever my thoughts disturb me, I pray; and Jehovah sustains me. Without his help I couldn’t have dealt with this problem. Prayer is my lifeline!”—Psalm 94:18, 19; Ephesians 3:20.





▪ Second Fill your mind with upbuilding spiritual thoughts. (Philippians 4:8) Read the Bible daily. Never underestimate its power to shape your mind and heart for good. (Hebrews 4:12) A young man named Jason says: “The Bible—including scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 and Ephesians 5:3—has had a powerful effect on me. I read these scriptures whenever wrong desires occur.”





▪ Third Shun pornography and gay propaganda, which will only fuel wrong thoughts. (Psalm 119:37; Colossians 3:5, 6) Some motion pictures and television programs also foster the belief that homosexuality is nothing more than a so-called alternative lifestyle. “The world’s warped thinking affected my mind and added to my sexual confusion,” says Anna. “Now I steer clear of anything or anyone that promotes homosexuality.”—Proverbs 13:20.





▪ Fourth Seek out a confidant, and talk to him or her about your thoughts. (Proverbs 23:26; 31:26; 2 Timothy 1:1, 2; 3:10) Olef, who sought the help of a Christian elder, recalls: “His counsel was very effective. I wished I had spoken to him a lot earlier.”





Do Not Give Up!





Of course, some would say that there’s no point in doing all this, that you should simply embrace your sexuality and accept what you are. But the Bible says that you can do better than that! It tells us, for example, that some early Christians who had formerly practiced homosexuality changed. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) You too can win the battle—even if at this point it is only being waged in your heart.





If your desires persist, do not give up or conclude that you are a lost cause. (Hebrews 12:12, 13) All of us battle wrong inclinations at times. (Romans 3:23; 7:21-23) If you refuse to act on wrong desires, in time they may subside. (Colossians 3:5-8) Above all, lean on Jehovah for help. He loves you and knows what will make you happy. (Isaiah 41:10) Yes, “trust in Jehovah and do good
That is something you might have to figure out for yourself, for one can not really say what they would do cause they are not in your shoes or have to listen to your parents or the neighbors remarks.





YOU have to FOLLOW YOUR HEART, AND NOT THE ADVICE OF OTHERS, and it is sure to be hard. But if you know it is wrong then that will make the decision harder for you have LOVE for both GOD and your GIRLFRIEND.


I will not say yes or no, for that is something YOU will have to SEARCH YOUR OWN HEART and your BELIEF and FAITH to find the answers.





GOOD LUCK ON WHAT EVER PATH YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE.
Right and wrong is written on your heart, it is right to love your friend but it is wrong in the way you are expressing that love. Be kind, generous, intimate, trusting and all things righteous but to have a sexual relationship is inappropriate.





It is your conscience that is troubling you because you already know this and the hate you feel God has for you are your own feelings, not His.





Consider this, if you truly love your friend, then put your own desires aside and consider their eternal future. Should your wants help jeopardize their salvation and if they love you should they help jeopardize yours?





Put the other's future first and follow God and your conflict will be gone, it may hurt at first but the pain will heal.
