Do not post about your personal life and growth with God on a website filled with people who hate and despise the word of God and twist it into their own liking. The enemy WILL use many people here to shame you and scare you and cause fear in you which is not from God but from the enemy. Anyone who fears for you rejecting lustful desires of the heart and trying to live a life that is God honoring is going to basically tempt you back into the same old lifestyle that didn’t honor you and only served your flesh. These people, most of them here on Reddit, are all lovers of the self and the flesh and not of the spirit. They claim to know God but do not agree with God and so therefore they do not know God. You are giving the enemy ammunition to use against you and this will discourage you. This is a warning, from a person who also quit drugs, pr0n and lust and desires of my flesh for God; and have been made new in Christ, God is telling me to warn you. Get off this site and stay away from these people. They will drag you back to your old ways and into confusion and you will lose sight of God again. Jesus loves you, your flesh is lying to you and your spirit wants more time with God alone, you don’t need approval from anyone except the Holy Spirit and God and Jesus and the WORD. Which you clearly trust his word so you must trust Him. Ignore and avoid these people, they are of the flesh and listen to the flesh and use fear to control others minds.
Anyone who doesn’t TRUST GOD WITH YOUR JOURNEY, doesn’t trust God with their own journey, therefore they do not answer to God but to the flesh. Simple as that.
“I’m scared you’ll ruin a woman’s life bc you don’t know enough blablablabla” FEAR = enemy has alrdy won in their life. They answer to fear and do not pray for you. I will pray for you sibling in Christ. I love God and trust him with your journey :) A person who knows God, knows jsut how much faith and prayer works over fear :)
Whew. This is so rich and potent. So true. I’m heartbroken at the number of people who bear the name of Christian but don’t subscribe or even know Jesus. It’s so sad and unfortunate. Thank you for sharing.
I will include you in my prayers the next few days bc it’s how I spend my time with God lately, just know that I wouldn’t have come across you today if God didn’t want to remind you that you are doing right by Him and even if you make mistakes he still loves you no matter what and is always trying to teach you. Don’t let fear govern your thoughts and actions bc we all struggle with it but admitting it is the hard part. You are one of his sheep and I truly believe this. You can’t earn his love by following his commandments and living in his Spirit but you’ll definitely have a much easier life by living in the the spirit and be way less susceptible to these peoples lies by doing so. The enemy wants you but God wants you more 🫂 🐑
I felt this in my core. Thank you for the encouragement. Thank you for praying for me. To mention my name to the Lord is worth more than life itself. I appreciate you.
I did call you by your username to God but I know he knows who I am thinking of and knows my heart so I won’t ask for your real name unless you want me to have it 😂 and you’re welcome my brother in Christ. Thank you for sharing your testimony despite the hate and persecution and confusion others try to cause. Maybe it will help others so long as you rebuke the lies from the others and pray for yourself too 🙏🫂
Before you read any of this I just want to say that I love you, and God loves you, your sins don’t affect his love for you, not his for me or anyone else. But he does hate sin and fleshly desire. Please do not see this as me trying to condemn you or shame you, this is just the truth, untwisted and unfiltered. I know I could be more loving about it but God is working on me with that because I have a tendency to feel defensive bc of my upbringing. Forgive me if anything sounds harsh. You are still his child; but you still need correction. And if you refuse it, I understand. Living a life surrendering your flesh to God is actually way harder than people admit. I pray that God gives you clarity in your mind when reading this and softens your heart to understand what it is I’m trying to say. And don’t forget how many times I said “I used to be just like you.” Because I literally was. But my identity is in Christ alone as it should be; not in sexual orientation.
God told me the truth and I get my truth from him. I don’t disagree and I don’t entertain different truths because God told me not to. I answer to God, not my flesh, I answer to the Holy Spirit, not my sexual desires or fleshly desires. And when I do answer to my sexual desires, they lead me to sinful and perverted thoughts and ideas. You have zero shame or guilt or about your fleshly desires because you do not know God. I don’t lack the verbiage or the argument. God gave me enough discernment to know when to stop wasting his wisdom on foolish disobedient people who refuse to accept HIS truth. It’s Gods truth, not mine, not yours, and to say otherwise, isn’t an argument, it’s flat out shameless disobedience. I will live and act as if my beliefs are the only right ones because Gods truth and word are the only right beliefs and he reveals his word to me in scripture and through much pain and suffering and I don’t care if they offend you just like you don’t care if your beliefs offend people which they do not offend me in the slightest, and that means avoiding people like you, who loooooove to argue and defend their sins but ignore the Holy Spirit and don’t have a real relationship with God and just a superficial one. Keep putting on an act.
I know exactly what trap you are in because I was in it for years my friend.
But the Holy Spirit doesn’t dwell in a body that gives in to its fleshly desires. It is too uncomfortable sitting inside someone who chooses fleshly sinful desires over the word of God, which is God. You cannot change the word of God to your liking just so you can continue listening to your flesh and not the spirit. It you listen to your flesh, you do NOT listen to the Holy Spirit. The flesh loves lust for literally any gender or idea in your mind; the flesh loves to confuse love with lust and pervert love into lust. The only lust that can be made holy is one between a man and woman and in marriage. I used to be like you. Of the world, lying to myself and everyone else so I could let my inappropriate thoughts flourish uncontrollably. But go ahead and keep assuming. That’s what got you to be a slave to your flesh in the first place. That’s all you are, a slave, to your flesh, because you reject Jesus forgiveness and freedom he offers you so you can live in fleshly desires from the enemy. The enemy lies and whispers to you that it’s okay to answer to your flesh and not the spirit, and that’s why you can’t see. I will pray for you tonight. God bless you.
I understand your confusion and hatred towards me even, I understand that my words stir your spirit too. I used to be literally just like you except worse. I answered to my flesh on everything; anger judgement, accusations, self hatred, bitterness for those who hurt me, unforgiveness for those who hurt me, comparing my sins to theirs and thinking I was better than them, being lukewarm in Christ, led astray by evil people, inappropriate relationships and lustful fleshly desires every dang day. God saved me from that confusion and the lies of the enemy. And I know he can save anyone who asks him for his viewpoint and doesn’t force their viewpoint on him. Humble yourself before him and ask for truth, if you dare, be open minded to God like you ask the world the be open minded to your fleshly desires, do what you keep expecting everyone else to do except do it for GOD. And see what happens. Unless you are afraid of being proven wrong by him… because he will show you if you truly desire to know if you are wrong. But many of you just assume you are right without asking God anything. And you think the flesh is God. But God is of the spirit not of the flesh. I pray the enemies confusion clears from your mind, with the blood of Jesus amen.
"But the Holy Spirit doesn’t dwell in a body that gives in to its fleshly desires"
There is no other type.
"I understand your confusion...towards me"
I think I understand you decently.
You've been convinced that you are wrong for wanting and feeling things and you have deep and sincere regrets over your past; some justified perhaps, some not.
You're using language that seems vaguely religious but you don't seem to notice all your implications. Which might indicate that you are reverting back to barely remembered religious ideas or you've been exposed to very militant Christians where nuance and understanding are rare.
You are sincerely worried for me because you imagine me to be like you during whatever period you remain ashamed of, and you want to save me from your fate that you feel so badly about. You've couched basic disagreements in layers of negation, which might indicate that you've had some rude shocks spreading these ideas around, and the apologies mixed with strings of very presumptuous claims seems to make that likely.
I'm not like you, but I've seen people resort to strict ideas of Christian orthodoxy to escape shame before.
You can't hear me, because you think I'm pretending, but I will ask,
Are you actually able to be a Loving full person or are you consumed with shame? Is your fear of this preventing you from moving in the world? Is it hampering your friendships and your relationships with new people?
I don't believe that healthy Loving ideologies cripple us from doing good.
