Hello, well this is just something that happened to me recently and i just hope you can give me your opinion....
Well I am bisexual, and I dont think there's anyway im gonna change my view on that. I was in a relationship with a girl, and i love her so much, but a little after our first year anniversary she told me things wouldn't really work out because she didnt wanna hurt her parents if they found out about us(they're very religious) but she didnt wanna hurt me cuz she loves me too...we ended up breaking up cause of this but we still talked as if we were together so it wasnt much of a difference...since her parents are very religious, there is this youth group at her church that was going on a retreat so she was gonna go....she went to the retreat only for two days and a half, and after she came back she told me we needed to talk about "us"...well we talked on the phone that night and she said that we cant really be doing things anymore and that we would just have to be friends, not more than that...i asked her why did she change her way of thinking so quick and she told me that after experiencing what she did at the retreat and what they talked about how people of the same sex shouldn't be together, she told me that it was wrong for us to be together and that its not right to have feelings for someone of the same sex...basically she told me all about how her religion says that love should be between a man and a woman and thats it, it got me pretty down....i dont know what to do and i was hoping you can tell me what i should do or what to say because im just lost....
i believe in a god, but i dont know if theres a right religion....i mean sorry if im offending anybody, but i dont think we should be living by how its written in the bible, generation thru generation we have changed, and we change to make things better, before i guess it was a huge sin or whatever to love someone of the same sex, but now i think its different... its just my opinion....but shouldn't love be something special u share with someone, whether its a boyfriend girlfriend relationship or girl and girl or guy and guy....what's so wrong?
Nothing is wrong. You can love god and a nother woman, it is only the people that prevent you from being together. It sounds like she really loves you, but her faith is conflicting with her love for you. If you have fealings for a nother person, you cannot deny them because other people may dissaprove. As long as you love and respect each other for who you are, I think that you should not be looked at with distain. I believe in god, but I fell in love with a girl and I actually love her more than I've ever loved a man. I hope she figures out a way to love you and have religion.
I believe you can love God and your friend, but I also believe that gay relationships are a sin according to the Bible. It grieves God's heart when people go against the natural way He intended relationships to be: between one man and one woman (Romans 8 ) I would encourage you to love your friend as a sister and encourage her in her faith in God. I would also encourage you to seek wise counsel from a trusted friend in this situation.
How do you know God said that? Is he the one that put it on the bible saying we cant love who we want to love, did he physically write it down? Did u hear him say that? Don't get me wrong, I do believe in God of course, but some of the things listed in the bible i do not agree with. Why should it be a sin that we love who we love? Why is it NOT a sin anymore to wear two different types of fabric, as before it said in the bible it was a sin...why is it NOT a sin anymore for a guy to shave his beard as it said in the bible as well that it was a sin. There's many things people disregard now, why cant loving someone be one of them. Think about it, what if one of your children turned out to be gay? or a cousin? or a sibling? dont u think it's ok for them to find love with whoever they do?? It's not right to say who one can love or not...and FYI people dont chose to be gay, it's how we're born, it's in our genes, we dont inheret it from our parents but it's how the chromosomes in our body are formed the reason we are gay. If it were a choice i think everyone would chose to be straight.
Love is Love, God loves me for who I am as long as he is in my heart.

Our biggest glory is in NOT never falling, but in RISING everytime we fall
Even if you were to "seek council", what would that do? It is my belief that anyone who says they are "cured" of being gay is a liar. You cannot cure a part of who you are, you can just deny that it exists. You can love who ever you want, and no one should tell you that you are wrong.
Faith is like a glass of water. When you're young, the glass is small, and it's easy to fill up. But the older you get, the bigger the glass gets, and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. Periodically, the glass has to be refilled.
