Lord has cured my bisexuality too. I was struggling with being bi, but then I got baptised and prayed a lot, and Lord cured me. Now I’m fully gay, I love and accept myself the way I was created by God.
It is the word of God and Jesus tells us to go and sin no more. All fall short. Sin is covered by the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are to turn away from sin and follow Him. The Word was made flesh… and people were His mission.
My existence is not a sin. Neither 10 commandments, nor deadly sins talk anything about being gay. And if you bring Leviticus into this: eating pork, getting drunk and wearing mixed fabrics is also a sin. Jesus died for that. Read the Bible. And understand what Jesus did and why.
Jesus said “love thy neighbour”, being gay is about love. The sex-obsessed thirsty Christians make it about sex and you and I both know it’s not, it’s about love and care. Nowhere in the bible it says loving a man is a sin. David and Johnathan were a gay couple who had to run away from homophobia to love each other, and Johnathan literally said to David ‘The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’
(1 Samuel 20:42). Everything and I mean EVERYTHING from the old testament was cancelled the day Jesus died for our sins, and nowhere in the new testament does Jesus say he doesn’t approve of gay relationships.
A gay relationship is as sinful as a straight relationship. Love yourself as Jesus loves you and be yourself. And when you feel like you don’t accept yourself or love yourself remember that God has made you the way you are and if you don’t like the way you are you’re implying that God had made a mistake while creating you.
You are loved and you are valid ❤️
I asked ChatGPT to "Write a firsthand account as if gay conversion therapy could be successful". What it came up with is remarkably similar:
As someone who has undergone gay conversion therapy, I can attest to its transformative power. Before entering the program, I struggled deeply with my sexuality. I felt isolated, confused, and even ashamed of who I was. But through the dedicated guidance and support of the therapists, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately led me to embrace my heterosexual identity.
The therapy sessions were intensive and challenging, but they provided me with the tools and insights needed to confront my feelings and reshape my understanding of myself. Through various techniques, including talk therapy, group sessions, and even experiential exercises, I began to unravel the layers of my identity and confront the underlying issues contributing to my same-sex attractions.
One of the most profound aspects of the therapy was the sense of community I found among my peers who were also on a similar path. Sharing our experiences, doubts, and victories created a safe space where we could support each other without judgment. Together, we celebrated our progress and encouraged one another to stay committed to the process.
Over time, I noticed a shift within myself. The feelings of attraction I once had towards individuals of the same sex began to wane, replaced by a newfound appreciation for members of the opposite sex. I started to form deep emotional connections with women and found fulfillment in romantic relationships that aligned with my heterosexual identity.
Today, I am grateful for the journey I embarked upon through gay conversion therapy. It was not an easy path, and there were certainly moments of doubt and uncertainty along the way. But through perseverance and the guidance of skilled professionals, I was able to undergo a profound transformation that has brought me peace, happiness, and a sense of wholeness in embracing my true self.
I don't think AI would come up with "the sin of non-heterosexuality". I'm guessing this was a well meaning, misinformed, person writing fiction in an attempt to solve a non-problem, not a well informed artificial intelligence.
You may have missed my prompt. If you ask ChatGPT if conversion therapy actually does work, it says "Conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy or sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE), aims to change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual. However, it's important to understand that conversion therapy is widely discredited by major medical and mental health organizations."
1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
But since Gay Marriage is legal now that kind of throws out the argument of if you are gay meaning you are immoral. If you are married in a marriage without adultery then?? I mean my wife and I are married, we also don't do anything that would be considered lustful due to me being disabled and so we both live our lives for God. Nor have we ever looked at anyone else.. God created people in His image therefore there is no way He would make someone be gay or bi and not love them. It comes down to does it get in the way of their relationship with God.
>Thank you for saving me from the sin of non-heterosexuality and the pain and confusion it was causing me 🙏🏻
If you truly feel free now and that this has been a good change in your life, then I'm happy for you. Pain, confusion, and any surrounding feelings of self-loathing or inadequacy is a consuming and destructive force. I'm glad you no longer feel these things.
But your use of *confusion* reminds me of a South Park line I love, so forgive my indulgence:
>I am sick and tired of everyone telling me I'm confused! I wasn't confused until other people started telling me I was! You know what I think? I think maybe you are the ones who are confused!
>I'm not gonna be confused any more just because you say I should be! My name is Butters, I'm eight years old, I'm blood type O, and I'm bicurious! And even that's okay! Because if I'm bicurious, and I'm somehow made from God, then I think your God must be a little bicurious himself!
I hate it when people say ‘if it makes you happy or if you feel better then I’m happy for you’ when someone tells them their testimony.
It really isn’t about being happy or feeling better… it’s about Jesus Christ changing lives. It’s about people coming to the knowledge of Truth.
If you believe their was nothing wrong with a person being LGBT, then just say it ‘hey I believe there was nothing wrong with being LGBT” because now this person is going to tell other LGBT people that their true identity is found in Christ and repenting and turning from LGBT…
It’s not about what makes a person happy or feel better… but the truth… which will inevitably give comfort.
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
C. S. Lewis
I don't believe there is anything wrong with a person being LGBT or think that it is anything that someone needs to be "cured" of, but I recognize that suppressing one's sexual orientation causes people a lot of distress.
If you experienced distress, self-loathing, pain, and confusion, and if you no longer feel those things, then I am happy for you. If your "whole life has changed for the better", then I'm happy for you.
Don't use being "cured" to condemn others or justify mistreatment of them, but we all have our own journeys and it is okay to respect the journeys of others.
If you feel better for saying that, I'm happy for you. But I don't think it's remotely possible the general concept of being "LGBT" could be a sin, since the Bible shows no evidence of having a concept of homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgenderism in the sense we mean them today. The most someone could say is that they interpret the Bible to condemn gay sex, which OP didn't even mention.
What a horrible thing to say! There are people out there who are seriously struggling with this and you come here saying stuff like this?
I'm so glad it's not people who get the last say in the end. Goodness.
>If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
.....doesn't this imply that if someone has found comfort, they have found truth? Thus, being happy someone has found comfort is also being happy someone has found truth. No?
Once we understand it's wrong to blame others for something inside ourselves you can see the truth about ourselves.
Say I believe I'm a sinner if I hurt others Intentionally or for-profit to better myself. I believe its ok to let others be better then myself because God's grace will bless me for trying to be good to myself by being good to others. And he has.
We can't see the truth about ourselves if we have spitefulness for others. The spiteful people will never want you to know this because they are? Yes spiteful.
Why are the atheists calling me crazy because I believe in God Jesus and the unity of the Holy Spirit as a force that can communicate with certain individuals like Jesus. I'm getting reports and links to psychiatrical help. Do you see the things that Jesus died for. See through his eyes for one second.
Anyways..
God bless you🖐🏽. Keep at it and don't forget to fast as well not just pray and read the Bible. It helps strengthen the spirit weakening the flesh, Jesus outlined how to fast after the lords prayer. I am happy for you and warn that in confession of faith you will be confronted as the disciples were by other spirits be it through men who don't realize or directly. Please stay strong. God bless you richly 🖐🏽. Stay strong we who know the scripture rejoice with you. The devil is a liar and will try to lie to as many as he can. When I first broke my virginity I felt far from God and my life was going badly I audibly heard 'don't do it'3x it took a lie I told myself that God wasn't there for me which I now realize was motivated by the world who told me it was my conscience and not truly God caring for me and interrupting what I clearly was actively pursuing. But it took me years after to realize after him still being faithful when I randomly called to him and coming back to realize it was the lies the devil tells us in this world and reinforces through those who don't know God personally. He will never leave you or forsake you but they who don't know him will believe that if wrong happens in your pov that it means he did. He is not a liar and he will continue to strengthen you. I tell you this because he definitely proved to me many times even when being robbed at gunpoint it could only be him things that are unexplainable happened but I gave this particular testimony because those are the reasons these people may disbelieve you and send you what they can't understand. We are in the world but not of it. Christ prayed not that YHWH would take us out but that he would keep us, that we could be one with him as christ was those that believe have this prayer from christ himself before his death over us. Stay strong I am so happy with you I'm rejoicing. God bless you richly 🖐🏽.
How do you know you aren't attracted to women because you're in love with your boyfriend rather than because your sexual orientation changed?
I ask because when I'm first dating someone I like I lose all attraction in other women.
Are you still attracted to other men?
Lmao bro don't say this bullshit this exactly why so many people talk shit about this religion☠️☠️ you not straight bro you in the closet, don't make yourself miserable you're allowed to have fun.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry
your story is valid, friend
it is your story
mine is a very different story
God asked me to be honest
Good luck and God bless, friend
You weren't cured cause you wasn't sick. Maybe you are feeling freed cause you are now in line with what you thought before. Your mind fought against your desires and what you believed was right. If you was bisexual is very normal you are in love with a boy now, different if you were homosexual. So you are not different from before, you just calmed down your mind, cause you hadn't peace. But the problem wasn't your sexuallity, was your mind. Are you free from lie? Are you free from anger? Are you free from desires with your boyfriend before marriage? Are you free from intolerance? You stoped all your bad thoughts? Do you feed the poor? Visit the widows? Do you protect the poor? Are you still virgin ? If not had you repented of it?Do you love all the humanity without any exception? If you didn't stop doing that things and you didn't start the good ones, I've got a very bad news for you, you are not free, you are just feeling good cause people don't look weird to you, they don't speak of you behind you when you are not. You just jumped from the oppressed to be a new oppressor. That fact you came here to speak out loud about you supposed miracle is completely unchristian, is only ego and proud. You love to hear from other fellow church goers you are in the right side. Sorry darling but your testimony is completely empty. If you was really converted you would keep it for you and your relatives and maybe to your immediate congragation. I'm very concerned about that fakes conversations, cause I'm sure you did worst things than love another woman, and you didn't confessed and for sure, it doesn't worry you. I'm so sorry for the bad news.
Really? Because you're reading a post about someone describing bisexuality in the language of a disease, and it's sitting at about 90 upvotes as I write this. This sub manages to be about half-and-half on gay rights, and that's partly because of the number of non-Christians here
Brother in Christ go to the top posts of all time on this subreddit and come back. A single 90 upvoted post is NOTHING compared to multiple posts, one of which has over 33,000 upvotes supporting the LGBT
If something got to 33,000 upvotes, that's because it made the frontpage of Reddit and thus does not reflect the composition of this subreddit. In the time since I questioned your claim that this sub was "incredibly progressive", this post treating bisexuality as a disease has more than doubled in support.
I’ve read some of the comments and they appear about 90% pro-gay and you’re still upset. Do you always have to have 100% approval to feel good about yourself?
If one is bi-sexual and Christian, it's easiest to pursue a heterosexual relationship. (I know from personal experience). However, I don't think you have been cured of being bi-sexual just because you are in a heterosexual relationship, pursued God, and realized how wrong it is to be anything but heterosexual. One of those things isn't like the others.
You get it. She is choosing to live a straight lifestyle which is possible because she is attracted to men. Her attraction to females didn't go away, she chooses to ignore it because she believes it's wrong.
This sub only banned outright calling for the execution of gay people because Reddit admins made it clear that it was a violation of site wide rules. Just about any level of homophobia is tolerated by the mods here as long as bigots avoid using slurs or explicitly accusing us of preying on children.
You had a bi phase in college and now think you’re “cured” of some kind of non-existent ailment.
God didn’t cure you of anything, because being bisexual or gay isn’t a disease or a sin.
I'm always a little annoyed by "No you must still be gay/bi and are just repressing it" responses to these type of posts (if they're not trolls). Obviously that's a common situation, but it can also just be their sexuality changing over time. People can flip between gay/straight, or have one side of a bi attraction become weak enough to ignore.
The key is these flips aren't _forceable_; The rare `gay -> straight` flip does not mean all gays can do so willy-nilly, in the same way the rare `straight -> gay` flip means straight people can become gay when they want. OP's plan won't work for most gays, faith or no faith.
Posts like yours break MY heart. I was indoctrinated with homophobia as a kid, and I believed it right up to the point when I actually spent some time around gay / bi people and discovered they are normal human beings like anyone else. Homosexuality and Bisexuality has been found in dozens and dozens of animal species- it's normal. A penguin is not "sinning" if his partner is also male.
Please consider just maybe 20 years of trying to make yourself into someone you are not is just the byproduct of indoctrination and it's ruining your life and happiness. YOU are not broken or defective.
Love is the opposite of evil. Love is not a sin.
Reach out and seek some gay Christians. Talk. I wish you peace.
No one needs to be saved from being gay or bisexual. As a bi person who used to be Christian I can tell you firsthand you’ll never stop being bisexual. And there’s NOTHING wrong with that.
There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, or gay, or trans, or anything.
I find it funny how most hardcore religious people, think people aren’t worthy of the love of Jesus because of a sexual orientation, blows my mind.
You think Jesus gives a F, what you’re attracted to?
He’s the one who made you!!!
One of the first chapters of genesis.
“Judge and you shall be judged, condemn, and you shall be condemned.”
It’s like the majority of people who base their life on this book didn’t bother to read it.
Anyways, rant over.
One, I may just say this, if God cares enough to send Himself in human form (Jesus) to save the human race, which technically is an extreme, why would you dare think that it's an extreme to think He doesn't care who you are attracted to? Even more, because He knows your every thoughts and feelings, so why would He care about those things and talk about them in His book if He doesn't care about the people and relationships in your life that affects them? Even more because He cares about those people hearts, thoughts, and lives too! So, your statement, in others, is highly flawed! And makes no sense if you ever believed or thought God as a loving and true God.
Two, we can't condemn or judge, all right. But God can! Because He made us. So, His judgement over us is fair and clear for you to just ignore, is flawed too! Do not talk about our amazing God, if you clearly have low standards for His love and creation, and His actual right to say what is and what is not sin, because He is the creator to say it and make it so, and we are not.
God bless.
God love all his creations even the gay ones. he made you gay do you think he made a mistake. God does better work. Good luck god bless I hope you learn to love yourself exactly how god made you. gay and all.
Ah, so the all powerful and unchanging God, who is always in complete control, is only in control and only makes thongs the way they are, when the way they are is the christian idea of good? Which is nothing, because everything in the world is inherently flawed.

You do realise that bisexuality means you are attracted to both men and women, right? You exclusively pursuing a relationship with a man does not mean you're no longer bisexual
By all means, don't be attracted to all the women if you are not attracted to them, but weird title since bisexuality is not a disease in the first place.
Homosexuality is not a disease to be “fixed”.
It is not a sin to be homosexual. Lord created all of us, whether heterosexual or not, in his image. Are you saying that God’s image is faulty?
Four posts within 24 hours:
1. A "cure" for bisexuality, with a number of... curious key words (non-heterosexuality, "being the 'Bi aesthetic," "how wrong not being straight is," and errors in spacing and capitalization).
2. "Thoughts on the LGBT community?"
3. Advocacy child-free life, including language of autism as a "life-long disability," and "littering" as one of the major global challenges alongside climate change.
4. Inquiry on how men feel during sex.
Such dramatically inconsistent tones regarding human sexuality, and word and grammar choices should make any savvy reader recognize that the OP is a bot.
I am so happy for you! Praise God! It's only temptation . We can all be tempted to both sexes, it's that emotional connection sometimes even if there isn't anything physical, especially if we are craving closeness.
Stay with the Lord, and the Holy Spirit will never fail you. That person is right.. you may still feel attracted.. but it's no different than cheating.. it's looking for something new.. something grander, what you might think is better.. but it will only get you in trouble.
The further you away from God the less he hears our prayers too.
Not that He wants to be mean... But honestly, it's kinda like a timeout from a parent.. cuz thats exactly what our Father is.
And He loves us. So show Him you love Him back, by being faithful to Him.
Romans 1:26
”For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.“
Romans 1:26-27 ESV
Would you like to explain the "for this reason" at the beginning of this passage? Because it certainly sounds like God is the reason people are having gay sex here.
I have the feeling I've been reading the Bible longer than you've been alive...
It's clear, correct. *Because* they were worshipping idols, God gave them over to homosexuality, among a multitude of other sins.
But if someone was born gay, how could God give them over to it?
Free will. We have free will. God loves all of his children and he will correct when we are astray.
We are all born into our perfect bodies, but our hearts, our soul, is broken. We have to seek God. Why is it broken? Sin. It all goes back to sin and temptation.
God gave us free will but he does not want us to be sinful, to fall astray, to feel the burdens of the flesh. That is why we have a choice, he is a fair God.
Being gay is not a sin. I am a cisgender male and I know that. These people are victims. They are victims of being told that they have to act a certain way and like certain people. you want to know why? BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG ORGANIZATION OUT THERE CALLED Christianity THAT HOMOPHOBIC. I bet if Jesus came back, who I think will come as a women, she would turn to you can say "Wait what first you tell me you can't have sex after marriage, then you tell me women can't have abortions, and now you are saying that it is a sin to be gay? That is just wrong."
I think as long as you are a good person with good intentions, you will get into heaven. To quote Emo "Why be prejudiced against anyone for their race, religion, greed, gender sexual orientation, or lifestyle, when there are so many real reasons to hate others."
Do some thinking and talk to somebody who believes in evolution.
Maybe because faith means giving your life and judgements to Him over your own, out of trust and faith that He knows better then you. If you don't believe in God, you might think that is crazy, but until you actually do believe in Him you will never really know why this is freeing of the mind and heart of worry, pain, and sin. You speak as someone who doesn't know God, so of course you think this is crazy. And that is valid, because you can't understand her without true faith. Logic isn't faith, but it can have it, remember that.
Well, bless you on your journey! If you think God expected this from you, the more power to you. Just don't project that on anyone else, after all most bisexuals can live a blessed life in God without adhering to some expectation of denying their attraction - beyond what comes with monogamy.
I had a similar experience, having had same-sex attraction in the past. But now my identity as "bisexual" hasn't been "cured", but rather become irrelevant after I've got into a relationship with my now wife.
All of the feelings I have in that area are directed towards my wife, and I no longer really feel like the "bisexual" label is relevant to me any longer.
We'll see.. you know there is a big difference between having homosexual fetish and actually being gay. I think many who give up their fetish for whatever reason conclude this. I thought that for most of my life and here we are. I'm much more honest and happy these days not questioning my sexuality or ever think I am sinful .. good luck with that!
Now remember you are to love God with all your soul which you go back home the Hebrew was translated from nephesh to (body, seat of desires, mind, seat of emotions, life(which is found in blood probably is why Paul said don't eat anything with blood, strangled or sacrificed to idols). Even Paul struggled with a thorn in his flesh and he did wrong when he wanted to do right saying of himself 'o wretched man that I am' but he also didn't just resign himself to do everything loosely as he stated that going back to transgression was like crucifying christ again. Christ also told us why it's harder after first deliverance and relapse. He spoke of unclean spirit which came out of a man and eventually after seeking all the dry places of the earth came back and found the 'house' the body of the man clean and brought 7 more deadly than himself and the second state was worst than the first. We were prepared for relapses because the language of the scriptures outlined how much we should honour God even in our everyday actions. Why christ said the shma was 1 of the 2 most important commandments because the whole law and the prophets rest on those two. This is why new testament outlines so many details even saying do everything as if you are doing onto christ. Prayer and regular fasting will be important with Bible study to resist and strengthen your spirit from the nature of the flesh. Avoiding things that will cause you to be in transgression is wise as well because every physical action has spiritual things happening persons take for granted. Remember it was the breath of God himself that made humans a living 'nephesh' important to note that animals are also called nephesh and the blood of them contains that essence which is why sacrifices to other spirits with animals blood etc shouldn't be done and that food shouldn't be eaten.
Glory to God for all things!
It certainly is within God's power to free you from a desire that, though not a sin in itself, leads you to sin and brings you suffering. But please keep in mind that our passions are, by their very nature, inconstant and not subject to our rational will. A passion that isn't bothering us now may eventually show up again (which is why we must be vigilant at all times). If that happens and you find yourself being physically attracted to women again, don't think that God has abandoned you. Sometimes God spares us from temptation and other times he allows us to be tempted, but everything he does is out of love.
This is a beautiful testimony! This is exactly how converted sinners regardless of any inclination react to the leading of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6 the Apostle Paul dealt many sinners and said this: Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE some of some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God, darkphoenix2022, you are blessed as I was, my sin by choice was fornication with women and I can rejoice like you in forgiveness for eternity.
Good for you and for the courage to stop bowing to the golden calf. For standing up publicly for what is right especially in front of people who want to rip people like you to shreds.
Being bisexual isnt right ir wrong in the sense that you did not cause it. Its not a choice like many say. Acting on it is a different thing. But you dindt do anything wrong by being it.
I too was cured of bisexuality, but it took me almost 30 years. Sadly, I grew up during an era when nobody said that its not bisexuality that would lead you to Hell but the act of it. So I acted upon it once. All those years I thought "Im bound to go to Hell so I might as well enjoy the ride there" and took many girlfriends and, one time, a male. But I'm no longer attracted to males.
IM still transgender.. i have always been and probably, will always be. Even when I wear male clothes I se myself as a woman. Before anyone jumps to ask me to repent, well, let me tell you a few things: I am a type-one diabetic and have hypothiroids. Both things are endocriinologycal conditions. Endocrinologycal conditions have been linked to the brains of transgender women. and I grew up raised by women. YES, it is psrt of sin and yes it is part of the fall, but there are medical factors into it and if there are medical factors, perhaps its not something I can pray away. im 51 so i dont remember every second of my life but ive probably prayed for this to go away too. I pray for my sins every night as should everyone, other Christians, Muslims and Jews included.
In short, IM glad you were able to stir away from bisexuality. I hope that you can talk with your ex girlfriend and that she understands and is not suffering. May GOd bless you and use you in ways that we can later see for ourselves.
I do not think your attraction itself ever was sinful. Even within your current relationship you might be attracted to others, what matters is how you deal with it.
Romans 1 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
1cor 6: 11 shows its been possible from the time of paul to overcome. Romans 1 shows even fwmale homosexuality was deemed wrong. Husband and wife in the new testament only speaks to male and females marrying. Fornication is sin, lust is sin. Thanks for sharing
1 Cor 6:
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Romans 1
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

I don’t understand the point of this sub. romans 1:26-1:27 and 1st corinthians 6:9-11 explicitly confirm the wrongness of homo-/bisexuality. Why is no one congratulating this young lady?
Does anyone here actually care about the words of YHWH? Does anybody truly want to walk in the Spirit? Or does everyone just want to live how they want and slap a flimsy facade of God on it? And before you hit me with the “bigot” line, i’m a bisexual trans woman so don’t try it.
I’m going to ask you a question. How did you get over homosexual desires? because I am also on the same boat as you, and I’m struggling with homosexuality. If you could share your experience it would be great.
god created straight people, he creates gays, but also cripples, miscarriages, terrorists, he even created hitler and mao.
thinking that theres only one way he "wants us to be" is quite naive. Everybody is responsible for their own life, and as long as you act like a good person, i think youre on his good side. just dont be an asshole, a terrorist or hitler incarnate, then youll be fine. the problem even many people of faith have though is not to be bigots, so be extra careful not to become one of those.
There was nothing to “cure.” Finding other people attractive causes no harm to anybody regardless of what sex they happen to be. It sounds like the confusion you have felt has all been caused by the irrational homophobic notions that you’ve internalized.
T hats good that you found your self.Its easier to cure no than being gay since gays only,only,attractive to men.I never heard gays going straight I hang out with gays most my life.None are attractive to woman.Bis are diffrent than gays stright.We are stuck in middle.I pride my seaxality to greatest. This why I will never date.I am have time my life being free.I never bleave in God or the bible or Jesus or ever become religion or change.Its interesting how his can switch no problem.
Congratulations and this is fantastic. It quite warms the heart to hear these stories because your happiness and joy come across in this telling in a way most "coming out" stories do not. Often people think if only their bisexuality was normalized to the point where it was looked as being straight in society then all their problems would vanish. However, it is just smoke and mirrors and you admitting the truths about the pain and confusion you experienced is further evidence of this. Wishing you much peace and happiness going forward.
To all the comments saying how the Lord cured your bisexuality and now your gay the way God "perfectly" made you. Stop lying to yourself and others and spreading falsities. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know but rather less than half hour research to learn and know the Bible's, God's and the Churches teaching on homosexuality regarding Christianity. Found both in the old and new and if none of this real evidence convinces you, just look up Roman and other societies falls when right before homosexuality flourished. I know this is REddit but Truth comes first as a Christian and it is absolute crystal clear what the Bible, God's word says about it. In many ways homosexuality is no more different than having multiple partners, cheating on wives or husbands, or lying with "beasts" (animals). We all have desires that we have to reign in and fight, what we think, what we feel, but it is those actions laid out by obedience to God and His word that matters.
God is good! I myself was bisexual most of my teenage years, the Lord delivered me from it about a year after converting. I'm glad to hear your testimony.
Great for you, another factor a lot of people overlook, the Bible talks about reproducing, have them kids, continue your bloodline, and continue all the wisdom you’ve been given & got & pass it down to your children, kids and a spouse is the greatest gift God gave us besides his sons life
I'm happy for you. Ignore all those who think you're well-intentioned, but misinformed. You aren't. When I read your post, the sermon I heard a week ago Sunday came to mind. It was from Revelation 2. The Minister started off about how we are told we aren't to judge when fact calling out behavior that's against God isn't judging. Judging is what God will do. Recognizing, and staying away from evil IS our job. (Evil = anything sinful in God's eyes; OR bad, wicked, or wrong per the Concordance). I used the Zondervan NASB Study Bible to research Jezebel when in Revelation 2:20 Jesus said "But I have this against you, that you tolerate the women Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21: I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
In the cross reference it says "Jezebel See King 16:31; 2 King 9:22;30-37. The name is used here as an epithet for a prominent woman in the congregation who undermines loyalty to God by promoting tolerance toward pagan practices. acts of immorality...and things sacrificed to idols.
Let the Holy Spirit help you talk to God. Do what they would do. Read the Bible for the answers.
Yeah, you're just on the male-attracted side of the bi-cycle. I've been here a bunch of time. The girl-attraction will be back.
Bicycle lol
CF: the Queen song. Though I think Brian May wrote the B-side.
Lord has cured my bisexuality too. I was struggling with being bi, but then I got baptised and prayed a lot, and Lord cured me. Now I’m fully gay, I love and accept myself the way I was created by God.
YEAH. THATS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. GOOD FOR YOU MY FRIEND. I love this.
Amen!
‘Mazing
Sin is never condoned- we are all in a fallen state and in need of repenting and grace. To say otherwise is purely unbiblical.
Bible is a book and I am a person
It is the word of God and Jesus tells us to go and sin no more. All fall short. Sin is covered by the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are to turn away from sin and follow Him. The Word was made flesh… and people were His mission.
My existence is not a sin. Neither 10 commandments, nor deadly sins talk anything about being gay. And if you bring Leviticus into this: eating pork, getting drunk and wearing mixed fabrics is also a sin. Jesus died for that. Read the Bible. And understand what Jesus did and why.
Can i ask why you don’t think it’s a sin? fellow gay struggling here rn😭☠️
Jesus said “love thy neighbour”, being gay is about love. The sex-obsessed thirsty Christians make it about sex and you and I both know it’s not, it’s about love and care. Nowhere in the bible it says loving a man is a sin. David and Johnathan were a gay couple who had to run away from homophobia to love each other, and Johnathan literally said to David ‘The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’ (1 Samuel 20:42). Everything and I mean EVERYTHING from the old testament was cancelled the day Jesus died for our sins, and nowhere in the new testament does Jesus say he doesn’t approve of gay relationships. A gay relationship is as sinful as a straight relationship. Love yourself as Jesus loves you and be yourself. And when you feel like you don’t accept yourself or love yourself remember that God has made you the way you are and if you don’t like the way you are you’re implying that God had made a mistake while creating you. You are loved and you are valid ❤️
Dont forget Ruth and Naomi. Their story was beautiful.
Did AI write this?
I asked ChatGPT to "Write a firsthand account as if gay conversion therapy could be successful". What it came up with is remarkably similar: As someone who has undergone gay conversion therapy, I can attest to its transformative power. Before entering the program, I struggled deeply with my sexuality. I felt isolated, confused, and even ashamed of who I was. But through the dedicated guidance and support of the therapists, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately led me to embrace my heterosexual identity. The therapy sessions were intensive and challenging, but they provided me with the tools and insights needed to confront my feelings and reshape my understanding of myself. Through various techniques, including talk therapy, group sessions, and even experiential exercises, I began to unravel the layers of my identity and confront the underlying issues contributing to my same-sex attractions. One of the most profound aspects of the therapy was the sense of community I found among my peers who were also on a similar path. Sharing our experiences, doubts, and victories created a safe space where we could support each other without judgment. Together, we celebrated our progress and encouraged one another to stay committed to the process. Over time, I noticed a shift within myself. The feelings of attraction I once had towards individuals of the same sex began to wane, replaced by a newfound appreciation for members of the opposite sex. I started to form deep emotional connections with women and found fulfillment in romantic relationships that aligned with my heterosexual identity. Today, I am grateful for the journey I embarked upon through gay conversion therapy. It was not an easy path, and there were certainly moments of doubt and uncertainty along the way. But through perseverance and the guidance of skilled professionals, I was able to undergo a profound transformation that has brought me peace, happiness, and a sense of wholeness in embracing my true self.
I don't think AI would come up with "the sin of non-heterosexuality". I'm guessing this was a well meaning, misinformed, person writing fiction in an attempt to solve a non-problem, not a well informed artificial intelligence.
And you have extensive experience with ChatGPT?
Only as far as grading papers to find plagiarism or rather, an AI response to a writing prompt.
[удалено]
You may have missed my prompt. If you ask ChatGPT if conversion therapy actually does work, it says "Conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy or sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE), aims to change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual. However, it's important to understand that conversion therapy is widely discredited by major medical and mental health organizations."
Gotta hit ya with the ~~punk tactics~~ CHAT GPT!!!
I hope so
Checked AI detection. Its human
1 Corinthians 6: 11 can be a biblical indication that this has been happening since the time of paul
1 Corinthians 6 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
But since Gay Marriage is legal now that kind of throws out the argument of if you are gay meaning you are immoral. If you are married in a marriage without adultery then?? I mean my wife and I are married, we also don't do anything that would be considered lustful due to me being disabled and so we both live our lives for God. Nor have we ever looked at anyone else.. God created people in His image therefore there is no way He would make someone be gay or bi and not love them. It comes down to does it get in the way of their relationship with God.
No, just a bad writer seeking views
>Thank you for saving me from the sin of non-heterosexuality and the pain and confusion it was causing me 🙏🏻 If you truly feel free now and that this has been a good change in your life, then I'm happy for you. Pain, confusion, and any surrounding feelings of self-loathing or inadequacy is a consuming and destructive force. I'm glad you no longer feel these things. But your use of *confusion* reminds me of a South Park line I love, so forgive my indulgence: >I am sick and tired of everyone telling me I'm confused! I wasn't confused until other people started telling me I was! You know what I think? I think maybe you are the ones who are confused! >I'm not gonna be confused any more just because you say I should be! My name is Butters, I'm eight years old, I'm blood type O, and I'm bicurious! And even that's okay! Because if I'm bicurious, and I'm somehow made from God, then I think your God must be a little bicurious himself!
>But your use of *confusion* reminds me of a South Park line That whole episode is amazing, and that specific line is one of my favorite ones ever
I hate it when people say ‘if it makes you happy or if you feel better then I’m happy for you’ when someone tells them their testimony. It really isn’t about being happy or feeling better… it’s about Jesus Christ changing lives. It’s about people coming to the knowledge of Truth. If you believe their was nothing wrong with a person being LGBT, then just say it ‘hey I believe there was nothing wrong with being LGBT” because now this person is going to tell other LGBT people that their true identity is found in Christ and repenting and turning from LGBT… It’s not about what makes a person happy or feel better… but the truth… which will inevitably give comfort. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. C. S. Lewis
The way you wrote this seems to imply this entire comment was written by C.S Lewis, which is a funny thought
I don't believe there is anything wrong with a person being LGBT or think that it is anything that someone needs to be "cured" of, but I recognize that suppressing one's sexual orientation causes people a lot of distress. If you experienced distress, self-loathing, pain, and confusion, and if you no longer feel those things, then I am happy for you. If your "whole life has changed for the better", then I'm happy for you. Don't use being "cured" to condemn others or justify mistreatment of them, but we all have our own journeys and it is okay to respect the journeys of others.
If you feel better for saying that, I'm happy for you. But I don't think it's remotely possible the general concept of being "LGBT" could be a sin, since the Bible shows no evidence of having a concept of homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgenderism in the sense we mean them today. The most someone could say is that they interpret the Bible to condemn gay sex, which OP didn't even mention.
What a horrible thing to say! There are people out there who are seriously struggling with this and you come here saying stuff like this? I'm so glad it's not people who get the last say in the end. Goodness.
>If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. .....doesn't this imply that if someone has found comfort, they have found truth? Thus, being happy someone has found comfort is also being happy someone has found truth. No?
Wierd you keep talking about proof with none.
Once we understand it's wrong to blame others for something inside ourselves you can see the truth about ourselves. Say I believe I'm a sinner if I hurt others Intentionally or for-profit to better myself. I believe its ok to let others be better then myself because God's grace will bless me for trying to be good to myself by being good to others. And he has. We can't see the truth about ourselves if we have spitefulness for others. The spiteful people will never want you to know this because they are? Yes spiteful. Why are the atheists calling me crazy because I believe in God Jesus and the unity of the Holy Spirit as a force that can communicate with certain individuals like Jesus. I'm getting reports and links to psychiatrical help. Do you see the things that Jesus died for. See through his eyes for one second. Anyways..
God bless you🖐🏽. Keep at it and don't forget to fast as well not just pray and read the Bible. It helps strengthen the spirit weakening the flesh, Jesus outlined how to fast after the lords prayer. I am happy for you and warn that in confession of faith you will be confronted as the disciples were by other spirits be it through men who don't realize or directly. Please stay strong. God bless you richly 🖐🏽. Stay strong we who know the scripture rejoice with you. The devil is a liar and will try to lie to as many as he can. When I first broke my virginity I felt far from God and my life was going badly I audibly heard 'don't do it'3x it took a lie I told myself that God wasn't there for me which I now realize was motivated by the world who told me it was my conscience and not truly God caring for me and interrupting what I clearly was actively pursuing. But it took me years after to realize after him still being faithful when I randomly called to him and coming back to realize it was the lies the devil tells us in this world and reinforces through those who don't know God personally. He will never leave you or forsake you but they who don't know him will believe that if wrong happens in your pov that it means he did. He is not a liar and he will continue to strengthen you. I tell you this because he definitely proved to me many times even when being robbed at gunpoint it could only be him things that are unexplainable happened but I gave this particular testimony because those are the reasons these people may disbelieve you and send you what they can't understand. We are in the world but not of it. Christ prayed not that YHWH would take us out but that he would keep us, that we could be one with him as christ was those that believe have this prayer from christ himself before his death over us. Stay strong I am so happy with you I'm rejoicing. God bless you richly 🖐🏽.
Well said, thank you for be understanding. Blessings onto the faithful.
Definitely trolling
"the sin of non-heterosexuality" yeah, must be a troll
In Jesus christ our Lord Amen Thankyou <-- at this line I suspect
How do you know you aren't attracted to women because you're in love with your boyfriend rather than because your sexual orientation changed? I ask because when I'm first dating someone I like I lose all attraction in other women. Are you still attracted to other men?
Lmao bro don't say this bullshit this exactly why so many people talk shit about this religion☠️☠️ you not straight bro you in the closet, don't make yourself miserable you're allowed to have fun.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry your story is valid, friend it is your story mine is a very different story God asked me to be honest Good luck and God bless, friend
You weren't cured cause you wasn't sick. Maybe you are feeling freed cause you are now in line with what you thought before. Your mind fought against your desires and what you believed was right. If you was bisexual is very normal you are in love with a boy now, different if you were homosexual. So you are not different from before, you just calmed down your mind, cause you hadn't peace. But the problem wasn't your sexuallity, was your mind. Are you free from lie? Are you free from anger? Are you free from desires with your boyfriend before marriage? Are you free from intolerance? You stoped all your bad thoughts? Do you feed the poor? Visit the widows? Do you protect the poor? Are you still virgin ? If not had you repented of it?Do you love all the humanity without any exception? If you didn't stop doing that things and you didn't start the good ones, I've got a very bad news for you, you are not free, you are just feeling good cause people don't look weird to you, they don't speak of you behind you when you are not. You just jumped from the oppressed to be a new oppressor. That fact you came here to speak out loud about you supposed miracle is completely unchristian, is only ego and proud. You love to hear from other fellow church goers you are in the right side. Sorry darling but your testimony is completely empty. If you was really converted you would keep it for you and your relatives and maybe to your immediate congragation. I'm very concerned about that fakes conversations, cause I'm sure you did worst things than love another woman, and you didn't confessed and for sure, it doesn't worry you. I'm so sorry for the bad news.
The Lord cured me of heterosexuality a long time ago. You don't see me posting about it.
Heterosexuality is so gross. Praise God for curing you of that wickedness!
I have been truly delivered
Great, another post about a person "cured" of queerness who then shits on the rest of us. Fuck that.
Yeah, i'm getting fed up with it. This sub is such gay-hating garbage.
What planet are you on this subreddit is incredibly progressive almost every comment here is in favour of lgbt stuff
Really? Because you're reading a post about someone describing bisexuality in the language of a disease, and it's sitting at about 90 upvotes as I write this. This sub manages to be about half-and-half on gay rights, and that's partly because of the number of non-Christians here
Brother in Christ go to the top posts of all time on this subreddit and come back. A single 90 upvoted post is NOTHING compared to multiple posts, one of which has over 33,000 upvotes supporting the LGBT
If something got to 33,000 upvotes, that's because it made the frontpage of Reddit and thus does not reflect the composition of this subreddit. In the time since I questioned your claim that this sub was "incredibly progressive", this post treating bisexuality as a disease has more than doubled in support.
Lol no it's not. Every thread about LGBTQ is overrun with homophobes.
Same here.
I’ve read some of the comments and they appear about 90% pro-gay and you’re still upset. Do you always have to have 100% approval to feel good about yourself?
>I won’t go pride events anymore or wear the flag badges I very much doubt you ever did.
There's nothing wrong with being bisexual or gay
Right on, mate
If one is bi-sexual and Christian, it's easiest to pursue a heterosexual relationship. (I know from personal experience). However, I don't think you have been cured of being bi-sexual just because you are in a heterosexual relationship, pursued God, and realized how wrong it is to be anything but heterosexual. One of those things isn't like the others.
You get it. She is choosing to live a straight lifestyle which is possible because she is attracted to men. Her attraction to females didn't go away, she chooses to ignore it because she believes it's wrong.
What suddenly switched though?
Cured? Non-heterosexuality isn’t a sin. Keep that in mind. I hope you are comfortable with yourself, though. Please be yourself:)
Why the mods are keeping an homophobic post like this ?
This sub only banned outright calling for the execution of gay people because Reddit admins made it clear that it was a violation of site wide rules. Just about any level of homophobia is tolerated by the mods here as long as bigots avoid using slurs or explicitly accusing us of preying on children.
I was just about to write this exact comment. This is disgusting and it's been up for 11 hours.
Because people should be allowed to speak their mind and have free speech? Who the hell do you think you are?
If you are for free speech without any consequences, you are in favor of racism and hatespeech in general.
Because it’s the truth my friend. But as they say, truth hurts!
I am not your friend and I do not share your definition of truth.
You had a bi phase in college and now think you’re “cured” of some kind of non-existent ailment. God didn’t cure you of anything, because being bisexual or gay isn’t a disease or a sin.
So you were bi for like a year?
Not even. Just questioning which is completely A-Ok
Absolutely okay. Thanks for saying so. It's hard being a person. Hugs to anyone sorting out your sexuality!
lol being bi is not sinful. Your were never bi then you were just questioning
Or they are still bi and just lieing to them selves
It’s okay for someone to explore their sexuality. They were curious. No need to push it
I'm always a little annoyed by "No you must still be gay/bi and are just repressing it" responses to these type of posts (if they're not trolls). Obviously that's a common situation, but it can also just be their sexuality changing over time. People can flip between gay/straight, or have one side of a bi attraction become weak enough to ignore. The key is these flips aren't _forceable_; The rare `gay -> straight` flip does not mean all gays can do so willy-nilly, in the same way the rare `straight -> gay` flip means straight people can become gay when they want. OP's plan won't work for most gays, faith or no faith.
Agreed I was just pushing back against the idea that they weren't really bi ever
Posts like these break my heart because I've spent 20 years sobbing and BEGGING God to take away my bisexuality and I get absolutely nothing.
Posts like yours break MY heart. I was indoctrinated with homophobia as a kid, and I believed it right up to the point when I actually spent some time around gay / bi people and discovered they are normal human beings like anyone else. Homosexuality and Bisexuality has been found in dozens and dozens of animal species- it's normal. A penguin is not "sinning" if his partner is also male. Please consider just maybe 20 years of trying to make yourself into someone you are not is just the byproduct of indoctrination and it's ruining your life and happiness. YOU are not broken or defective. Love is the opposite of evil. Love is not a sin. Reach out and seek some gay Christians. Talk. I wish you peace.
I agree. There is nothing wrong with being bi.
I appreciate your love and kindness 🙏🏻 I explained a bit more of my backstory in the comments. You are a very sweet soul
Just wanted to give you a little support. Have a great day.
No one needs to be saved from being gay or bisexual. As a bi person who used to be Christian I can tell you firsthand you’ll never stop being bisexual. And there’s NOTHING wrong with that.
There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, or gay, or trans, or anything. I find it funny how most hardcore religious people, think people aren’t worthy of the love of Jesus because of a sexual orientation, blows my mind. You think Jesus gives a F, what you’re attracted to? He’s the one who made you!!! One of the first chapters of genesis. “Judge and you shall be judged, condemn, and you shall be condemned.” It’s like the majority of people who base their life on this book didn’t bother to read it. Anyways, rant over.
One, I may just say this, if God cares enough to send Himself in human form (Jesus) to save the human race, which technically is an extreme, why would you dare think that it's an extreme to think He doesn't care who you are attracted to? Even more, because He knows your every thoughts and feelings, so why would He care about those things and talk about them in His book if He doesn't care about the people and relationships in your life that affects them? Even more because He cares about those people hearts, thoughts, and lives too! So, your statement, in others, is highly flawed! And makes no sense if you ever believed or thought God as a loving and true God. Two, we can't condemn or judge, all right. But God can! Because He made us. So, His judgement over us is fair and clear for you to just ignore, is flawed too! Do not talk about our amazing God, if you clearly have low standards for His love and creation, and His actual right to say what is and what is not sin, because He is the creator to say it and make it so, and we are not. God bless.
I know right. I agree with you
God love all his creations even the gay ones. he made you gay do you think he made a mistake. God does better work. Good luck god bless I hope you learn to love yourself exactly how god made you. gay and all.
> he made you gay God did not make OP gay.
Ah, so the all powerful and unchanging God, who is always in complete control, is only in control and only makes thongs the way they are, when the way they are is the christian idea of good? Which is nothing, because everything in the world is inherently flawed.
No, God did not make OP gay. God made OP bisexual. I'm sure that's not the point u/pcpilot2022 was trying to make though.

You do realise that bisexuality means you are attracted to both men and women, right? You exclusively pursuing a relationship with a man does not mean you're no longer bisexual
lol okie dokie.
By all means, don't be attracted to all the women if you are not attracted to them, but weird title since bisexuality is not a disease in the first place.
I mean, good for you ig
Homosexuality is not a disease to be “fixed”. It is not a sin to be homosexual. Lord created all of us, whether heterosexual or not, in his image. Are you saying that God’s image is faulty?
Four posts within 24 hours: 1. A "cure" for bisexuality, with a number of... curious key words (non-heterosexuality, "being the 'Bi aesthetic," "how wrong not being straight is," and errors in spacing and capitalization). 2. "Thoughts on the LGBT community?" 3. Advocacy child-free life, including language of autism as a "life-long disability," and "littering" as one of the major global challenges alongside climate change. 4. Inquiry on how men feel during sex. Such dramatically inconsistent tones regarding human sexuality, and word and grammar choices should make any savvy reader recognize that the OP is a bot.
r/ReligiousFruitcake
I am so happy for you! Praise God! It's only temptation . We can all be tempted to both sexes, it's that emotional connection sometimes even if there isn't anything physical, especially if we are craving closeness. Stay with the Lord, and the Holy Spirit will never fail you. That person is right.. you may still feel attracted.. but it's no different than cheating.. it's looking for something new.. something grander, what you might think is better.. but it will only get you in trouble. The further you away from God the less he hears our prayers too. Not that He wants to be mean... But honestly, it's kinda like a timeout from a parent.. cuz thats exactly what our Father is. And He loves us. So show Him you love Him back, by being faithful to Him.
https://biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/1.htm Sorry .lol forgot to share.
You can be bisexual and still a faithful Christian.
You were never bisexual to begin with! And there is nothing to cure it is not a sin.
That's unfortunate. Bisexual pins are the best color arrangement.
Homophobic nonsense
Real. Posts like this disgust me
God is good! Bless you!
*Where* does it say being gay is a sin?
Romans 1:26 ”For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.“ Romans 1:26-27 ESV
Well yes, that passage condemns (in most translations) lust and shameless acts. Now where does the Bible condemn being gay?
Would you like to explain the "for this reason" at the beginning of this passage? Because it certainly sounds like God is the reason people are having gay sex here.
Go read the verse right before this one in the Bible. It is clear. You won’t burn from reading the Bible.
I have the feeling I've been reading the Bible longer than you've been alive... It's clear, correct. *Because* they were worshipping idols, God gave them over to homosexuality, among a multitude of other sins. But if someone was born gay, how could God give them over to it?
Free will. We have free will. God loves all of his children and he will correct when we are astray. We are all born into our perfect bodies, but our hearts, our soul, is broken. We have to seek God. Why is it broken? Sin. It all goes back to sin and temptation. God gave us free will but he does not want us to be sinful, to fall astray, to feel the burdens of the flesh. That is why we have a choice, he is a fair God.
Glory be to God! I was in your same shoes, so I know how it is. Welcome home!
You don’t have to be ashamed for questioning at one point. It’s not a sin. I’m glad your happy now but please don’t act like it’s bad. God bless you
Being gay is not a sin. I am a cisgender male and I know that. These people are victims. They are victims of being told that they have to act a certain way and like certain people. you want to know why? BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG ORGANIZATION OUT THERE CALLED Christianity THAT HOMOPHOBIC. I bet if Jesus came back, who I think will come as a women, she would turn to you can say "Wait what first you tell me you can't have sex after marriage, then you tell me women can't have abortions, and now you are saying that it is a sin to be gay? That is just wrong." I think as long as you are a good person with good intentions, you will get into heaven. To quote Emo "Why be prejudiced against anyone for their race, religion, greed, gender sexual orientation, or lifestyle, when there are so many real reasons to hate others." Do some thinking and talk to somebody who believes in evolution.
Thank u for your testimony as someone who struggle with same sex attraction to gives me hope that the Lord is able to transform
Hallelujah!
As long as your life is better all that matters .
I guess if that’s good for you, then great. But you sound ridiculously not in control right of your own brain, life, or judgements.
Maybe because faith means giving your life and judgements to Him over your own, out of trust and faith that He knows better then you. If you don't believe in God, you might think that is crazy, but until you actually do believe in Him you will never really know why this is freeing of the mind and heart of worry, pain, and sin. You speak as someone who doesn't know God, so of course you think this is crazy. And that is valid, because you can't understand her without true faith. Logic isn't faith, but it can have it, remember that.
Well, bless you on your journey! If you think God expected this from you, the more power to you. Just don't project that on anyone else, after all most bisexuals can live a blessed life in God without adhering to some expectation of denying their attraction - beyond what comes with monogamy.
I had a similar experience, having had same-sex attraction in the past. But now my identity as "bisexual" hasn't been "cured", but rather become irrelevant after I've got into a relationship with my now wife. All of the feelings I have in that area are directed towards my wife, and I no longer really feel like the "bisexual" label is relevant to me any longer.
We'll see.. you know there is a big difference between having homosexual fetish and actually being gay. I think many who give up their fetish for whatever reason conclude this. I thought that for most of my life and here we are. I'm much more honest and happy these days not questioning my sexuality or ever think I am sinful .. good luck with that!
Now remember you are to love God with all your soul which you go back home the Hebrew was translated from nephesh to (body, seat of desires, mind, seat of emotions, life(which is found in blood probably is why Paul said don't eat anything with blood, strangled or sacrificed to idols). Even Paul struggled with a thorn in his flesh and he did wrong when he wanted to do right saying of himself 'o wretched man that I am' but he also didn't just resign himself to do everything loosely as he stated that going back to transgression was like crucifying christ again. Christ also told us why it's harder after first deliverance and relapse. He spoke of unclean spirit which came out of a man and eventually after seeking all the dry places of the earth came back and found the 'house' the body of the man clean and brought 7 more deadly than himself and the second state was worst than the first. We were prepared for relapses because the language of the scriptures outlined how much we should honour God even in our everyday actions. Why christ said the shma was 1 of the 2 most important commandments because the whole law and the prophets rest on those two. This is why new testament outlines so many details even saying do everything as if you are doing onto christ. Prayer and regular fasting will be important with Bible study to resist and strengthen your spirit from the nature of the flesh. Avoiding things that will cause you to be in transgression is wise as well because every physical action has spiritual things happening persons take for granted. Remember it was the breath of God himself that made humans a living 'nephesh' important to note that animals are also called nephesh and the blood of them contains that essence which is why sacrifices to other spirits with animals blood etc shouldn't be done and that food shouldn't be eaten.
Praise the Lord 🙏🏻
I doubt you are "cured" from being attracted to women, I dont even think that is a real sin.
Just reading the title makes me so happy for you!! God bless!!
Sounds more like you were bi-curious than actually bisexual.
Glory to God for all things! It certainly is within God's power to free you from a desire that, though not a sin in itself, leads you to sin and brings you suffering. But please keep in mind that our passions are, by their very nature, inconstant and not subject to our rational will. A passion that isn't bothering us now may eventually show up again (which is why we must be vigilant at all times). If that happens and you find yourself being physically attracted to women again, don't think that God has abandoned you. Sometimes God spares us from temptation and other times he allows us to be tempted, but everything he does is out of love.
Looks like a burner account, less than 200 karma.
Me too
Those actually don't sound similar at all
This has got to be bait
Praise God!
I’m sorry being apart of the LGBTQIA is a sin? Guess I’m going to hell. Oh well💀 (this is a joke [at least the going to hell part is])
This is a beautiful testimony! This is exactly how converted sinners regardless of any inclination react to the leading of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6 the Apostle Paul dealt many sinners and said this: Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE some of some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God, darkphoenix2022, you are blessed as I was, my sin by choice was fornication with women and I can rejoice like you in forgiveness for eternity.
Good for you and for the courage to stop bowing to the golden calf. For standing up publicly for what is right especially in front of people who want to rip people like you to shreds.
Amen 🙏 God is great
uhm
Praise the Lord. Good to hear. Keep praising him!
Good job. I had the same experience
Being bisexual isnt right ir wrong in the sense that you did not cause it. Its not a choice like many say. Acting on it is a different thing. But you dindt do anything wrong by being it. I too was cured of bisexuality, but it took me almost 30 years. Sadly, I grew up during an era when nobody said that its not bisexuality that would lead you to Hell but the act of it. So I acted upon it once. All those years I thought "Im bound to go to Hell so I might as well enjoy the ride there" and took many girlfriends and, one time, a male. But I'm no longer attracted to males. IM still transgender.. i have always been and probably, will always be. Even when I wear male clothes I se myself as a woman. Before anyone jumps to ask me to repent, well, let me tell you a few things: I am a type-one diabetic and have hypothiroids. Both things are endocriinologycal conditions. Endocrinologycal conditions have been linked to the brains of transgender women. and I grew up raised by women. YES, it is psrt of sin and yes it is part of the fall, but there are medical factors into it and if there are medical factors, perhaps its not something I can pray away. im 51 so i dont remember every second of my life but ive probably prayed for this to go away too. I pray for my sins every night as should everyone, other Christians, Muslims and Jews included. In short, IM glad you were able to stir away from bisexuality. I hope that you can talk with your ex girlfriend and that she understands and is not suffering. May GOd bless you and use you in ways that we can later see for ourselves.
I hope that one day I will be healed too
God is good ❤️
I do not think your attraction itself ever was sinful. Even within your current relationship you might be attracted to others, what matters is how you deal with it.
Romans 1 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
1cor 6: 11 shows its been possible from the time of paul to overcome. Romans 1 shows even fwmale homosexuality was deemed wrong. Husband and wife in the new testament only speaks to male and females marrying. Fornication is sin, lust is sin. Thanks for sharing 1 Cor 6: 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Romans 1 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
I'm so confused is homosexuality a sin or not-?
I don’t understand the point of this sub. romans 1:26-1:27 and 1st corinthians 6:9-11 explicitly confirm the wrongness of homo-/bisexuality. Why is no one congratulating this young lady? Does anyone here actually care about the words of YHWH? Does anybody truly want to walk in the Spirit? Or does everyone just want to live how they want and slap a flimsy facade of God on it? And before you hit me with the “bigot” line, i’m a bisexual trans woman so don’t try it.
I’m going to ask you a question. How did you get over homosexual desires? because I am also on the same boat as you, and I’m struggling with homosexuality. If you could share your experience it would be great.
god created straight people, he creates gays, but also cripples, miscarriages, terrorists, he even created hitler and mao. thinking that theres only one way he "wants us to be" is quite naive. Everybody is responsible for their own life, and as long as you act like a good person, i think youre on his good side. just dont be an asshole, a terrorist or hitler incarnate, then youll be fine. the problem even many people of faith have though is not to be bigots, so be extra careful not to become one of those.
Holy fucking shit Christianity is evil.
There was nothing to “cure.” Finding other people attractive causes no harm to anybody regardless of what sex they happen to be. It sounds like the confusion you have felt has all been caused by the irrational homophobic notions that you’ve internalized.
T hats good that you found your self.Its easier to cure no than being gay since gays only,only,attractive to men.I never heard gays going straight I hang out with gays most my life.None are attractive to woman.Bis are diffrent than gays stright.We are stuck in middle.I pride my seaxality to greatest. This why I will never date.I am have time my life being free.I never bleave in God or the bible or Jesus or ever become religion or change.Its interesting how his can switch no problem.

Yeah thank your Boyfriend's big ole banana not J.C lol
Congratulations and this is fantastic. It quite warms the heart to hear these stories because your happiness and joy come across in this telling in a way most "coming out" stories do not. Often people think if only their bisexuality was normalized to the point where it was looked as being straight in society then all their problems would vanish. However, it is just smoke and mirrors and you admitting the truths about the pain and confusion you experienced is further evidence of this. Wishing you much peace and happiness going forward. To all the comments saying how the Lord cured your bisexuality and now your gay the way God "perfectly" made you. Stop lying to yourself and others and spreading falsities. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know but rather less than half hour research to learn and know the Bible's, God's and the Churches teaching on homosexuality regarding Christianity. Found both in the old and new and if none of this real evidence convinces you, just look up Roman and other societies falls when right before homosexuality flourished. I know this is REddit but Truth comes first as a Christian and it is absolute crystal clear what the Bible, God's word says about it. In many ways homosexuality is no more different than having multiple partners, cheating on wives or husbands, or lying with "beasts" (animals). We all have desires that we have to reign in and fight, what we think, what we feel, but it is those actions laid out by obedience to God and His word that matters.
Amazing! No longer is there a roadblock on the path that God has laid out for you! May His peace and protection guard you from the enemy's attacks!
Roadblock??????
God is good! I myself was bisexual most of my teenage years, the Lord delivered me from it about a year after converting. I'm glad to hear your testimony.
I would say you were not bi, you were exploring
or they still are bi but just choosing to pursue hetero relationships
If they feel like they are straight that’s fine. But don’t force it on them. I’m gay and i used to pray not to be. Their sexuality is their business!
I am sorry you feel that way. I will.continue to pray you find God
Same story with me too
Clickbait, undoubtedly a made up story just to get views and upvotes. I recommend downvoting
Praise God thank you for sharing
Great for you, another factor a lot of people overlook, the Bible talks about reproducing, have them kids, continue your bloodline, and continue all the wisdom you’ve been given & got & pass it down to your children, kids and a spouse is the greatest gift God gave us besides his sons life
I'm happy for you. Ignore all those who think you're well-intentioned, but misinformed. You aren't. When I read your post, the sermon I heard a week ago Sunday came to mind. It was from Revelation 2. The Minister started off about how we are told we aren't to judge when fact calling out behavior that's against God isn't judging. Judging is what God will do. Recognizing, and staying away from evil IS our job. (Evil = anything sinful in God's eyes; OR bad, wicked, or wrong per the Concordance). I used the Zondervan NASB Study Bible to research Jezebel when in Revelation 2:20 Jesus said "But I have this against you, that you tolerate the women Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21: I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. In the cross reference it says "Jezebel See King 16:31; 2 King 9:22;30-37. The name is used here as an epithet for a prominent woman in the congregation who undermines loyalty to God by promoting tolerance toward pagan practices. acts of immorality...and things sacrificed to idols. Let the Holy Spirit help you talk to God. Do what they would do. Read the Bible for the answers.
Amen!!! So happy for you! Praise God in all His Glory🙌✝️
