Coming out in the church is tough. I grew up catholic and I struggled so much because of it. I too thought I had to follow my faith but ultimately it left me unhappy and I left. Hopefully religion will realize that all types of people are worthy of love and acceptance, gay or not.

Right on, Jackie! Jesus and I approve this message ! Love from a (gay) christian... Montreal, Quebec, Canada !!

I am not a judge and I am not in the mood to argue the topic that you are talking about. You seem like a sweet, lovely person. Jesus Loves you. You are MASSIVELY LOVED by God. The idea is for you to know that (the more the better) and to Respond to the Great Love that He has for you by loving Him back. Dear God, Thank You that You Love me. You Love me with an Astonishing *Love,* a Love that is _beyond my wildest imagining._ Thank You that You have for me an Amazing Super Future of spectacular Joy, spectacular Gladness, spectacular Health, Happy Surprises and *"Love* ...beyond what words can even explain." Thank You that You don't want me to feel like You are some unconcerned and remote spectator who is a billion miles away from me... no instead of that what You want is to be my best Friend. You know all of my life experiences and You know me better than anyone else. You want me to have and enjoy Sweet times of having a joyful sense of Your nearness. Thank You that what You want is for me to talk to You often and Your attitude towards me is one where with Love You say to me "you can talk to Me anytime." Thank You that You want to give me Higher levels of Love, joy, Peace and glad wonder than I have ever known before even in this world which isn't the Disneyland, it's just the temporary road to the Disneyland. The temporary road to the *Amazing Wonderfulness* and perpetual Bliss in the Eternal Glory which You call me to. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and *no mind has imagined* what God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9) And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He is *a Rewarder* of those who sincerely seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) *Draw near to God and He will draw near to you...* (James 4:8) God is Love. (1John 4:8) The fruit of the Spirit is Love, joy, *Peace...* (Galatians 5:22) "Do you at last believe with all your heart that I created you in order to make you eternally Happy? It was out of *Pure Love* that I created you... to give you Infinite Bliss. O thank Me for your creation. Turn your life towards Me. Never cease to look at *My Love* enfolding you; and feeling loved, love Me..." *"Nothing* that you may possibly have imagined of *the Love* of My Heart comes anywhere near *the Reality."* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after Righteousness. Pray without ceasing. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus... LOVE covers a multitude of sins. We are saved by GRACE. Each one of those sentences is a Bible verse. You can google them if you need to know which ones they are. It's a short version of something called *the Royal Path of Life* that leads to the Place of Amazing Wonderfulness where we will be Blissfully astounded at the Love of God and the Majesty of God in ways that we can't be done on earth. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus... who (right this very second) *is seated at the right hand of the Throne of God.* (Hebrews 12:2) .....

You should have stayed a Christian. And allowed God to heal you, and help you find your identity in him. Which would have been your heart being towards a Man and man only. The church/ true Christian goes by God’s word which is against homosexuality / bisexuality etc. God clearly says it’s a abomination and no homosexual will enter heaven. You seem so nice and sweet and I hope you will come back to Jesus.

Wait! There's a podcast?! I've been so out of the loop. Glad to have you back in whatever capacity.

[@JackieGTV]

Yes!! It's called "The Unity Project" -- apple.co/2G49TeZ :)

Your voice is beautiful..

[@christophergibson7155]

Either you believe the Word of God, The Holy Bible or you do not. There is no in between. And that also applies to being born again by the Spirit of God like Jesus said you must be to see the kingdom of God. You are either in or your out. There is no in between.

[@Jkila25]

I think we have a bigger conversation if you’re entire identity is based in your sexuality. Because I feel, I can disagree with acting on those sexual desire, while firmly believing, you are a human being made in the image of God worthy of love, dignity, and respect. I believe we are more than just our sexualities, jobs, things we do and don’t do, believe and don’t believe.

[@renny3816]

Who are you to agree or disagree with what other can or cannot do with their own lives. I want to engage in sexual relations with a member of my own sex, who I’m in a relationship with. If you deem it to be “wrong” you don’t have to engage in that yourself.

[@renny3816]

I’m an adult, I can have sex and form a relationship with any other adult who’s willing to be in a relationship with me. To be honest, I’m not interested in being close to people, who believe I should be in heterosexual relationships, instead of the one I’m in. They don’t actually love me, unless I deny my sexual orientation and pretend to be heterosexual, just to fit into mainstream society. I’m my own person and I find love and pure happiness, with my partner. If religion has a problem with it, then I want no part of that religion. If somebody can disagree with me acting on my sexual desires, then I can disagree with you acting on yours.

@@renny3816 What if god has a problem with it?

[@57andstillkicking]

@@renny3816 As a Christian I can disagree in that I believe the Bible makes it clear that homosexual behavior is not in God’s order.
