I love saying that!

We all have attraction to sin, because sin is very attractive and enticing. Satan helps make that happen and offers cute little lies to help deceive us into rationalizing it. It happened in the original sin and happens today. One of those clever little tricks is saying that my sin is my identity therefore its ok because I can't help it.
I'm going to take a risk here and say something disgusting to make a point. This is that part of me would love to commit a certain sin tonight, by entering a certain establishment and doing a certain activity. But God already said it's wrong and sin in black and white. I am a Christian and I also like this activity. But here's the deception: is that activity my identity? because I want it? Maybe it is, then I can't help it, maybe I was born to do it. Because it feels good, and I like or love it. And because of that, God made me that way and I can't help it. God wants me to love, right? I'm actually a victim actually. I'm only carrying out what God made me to do, right? Do you notice the pattern of rationalizations? Are these rationalizations true or a lie? I left this generic enough that this template can be applied to justify almost any disgusting sin that God hates like: adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, drugs, drunkenness, violence, murder, etc. Also: no one will know, it won't hurt anyone else, others do it too, if I don't, someone else will.
All these rationalizations are lies that people commonly do. Satan basically recycles the same temptations using the same flawed logic over and over, and we all struggle with and have temptations to sin. An opportunity presents itself and we have a choice. Are we going to follow God or not? Are we going to do good or not? Genuine Christ followers follow and obey Christ and are obviously to avoid all of these. The past can be forgiven, but we must stop it and sin no more if we are genuine about being a Christian and want hope for salvation. God bless.
I don't know if that was God's answer to your request, but if it was then the answer is obvious, you are in the wrong path. Homosexuality is a sin according to the Word of God, like any other sin. And if one doesn't repent and keep following a sinful life then the end is definitely not Heaven, even if that person is called (or indeed is) a christian. You said you are not a super religious christian, so are you born again? Have you been baptized in water, in Spirit? Do you attend a christian congregation? If not then start doing it. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and change it. Ask Him to free you from any kind of things that keep you imprisoned in a sinful life, some things only God can do, it is not up to our own capabilities. Look for and join a christian congregation where you can be tought the Word of God properly. And follow the narrow path(God's commandments). And remember, only the 5 wise virgins made it to the marriage, the other 5 were left out. All of them were virgins(believers) but only the ready ones, the ones that had light in their lamps(a shining life) entered Heaven. GBU
I need deliverance from my sinful nature, demons that oppress me, and from being under the influence of evil spirits. I have allowed anger, hate, bitterness, jealousy, vengeance, manipulation, unforgiveness, pride, resentment, entitlement, greed, control, wickedness, unbelief, and so many other spiritual influences to direct my behavior. It has caused great anxiety, depression, and failures in my life. I am my own worst enemy, and I need to be delivered from these things in order to refrain from self-sabotage.
I love the Lord, and I know I have disappointed him. I am wholeheartedly seeking him so that I may obtain HIS peace and healing, turn my life around, and be someone he can be proud of. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to believe that he loves me, because of the negative feelings that overwhelm me. I pray that he does not forget me, and that I may continue to have his favor and blessings in the areas of work and physical health. I ask for breakthroughs in my mental and emotional health struggles. I ask for miraculous opportunities in my career. I ask for protection from continued spiritual attacks. I ask for healing and restoration in my relationships. Lord, I cling to you and NEED you. Please hear my supplications. Help me Father.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

May we all as brethren in the LORD, follow hard to the words of our LORD CHRIST JESUS and endeavor to be "charitable" in all we do and say. May we all, over look the ills and problems of others, as our GOD did for us and exhort, encourage, and pray diligently for our leaders, for our friends, family, neighbors, and yes, even for those who despitefully use us.
GOD to shine HIS glorious face upon all on this forum, and be gracious unto you. The LORD to lift up HIS countenance upon you and give you peace.
Praise the LORD! Have a Happy New Year everyone.
Here is the link: Oh well SEARCH: "Verse by Verse Bible Study | Intro to the book of Revelation | Gary Hamrick" (also Cornerstone chapel dot net)
I always have this Bible online on my phone and will stop the videos and look up whatever I need to online here while doing the classes. The very last video is Q&A with Dr. Ed Hindson who sadly passed away a few months ago. This site online is my foundation but for dissecting every word in each chapter of Revelation, Gary Hamrick has the gift for teaching it.
He will also guide you to go and read your Bible so you will learn after he explains it, not easy but practice makes it much easier.
I hope this helps, follow the guidance. We are all born sinners at birth. Jesus knows this and that's why he died for our sins. You will find your way, just you and He, that's what it's all about. Don't get "LEFT BEHIND" Hugs
Waiting for the gov't, you might see yourself living in camps they have decided to deal with you. God created us to work, and work is what you must do. The inheritance you will recieve, you shall never recieve for you have not earned it! There is a good book called the grapes of wrath, you might want to read it along with your bible! Repent and be Baptized happy New Year. In Christ !
Are you baptized into Christ? If not, repent and be Baptized
Lord Bless You.
May we always show that we care about our fellow human beings. And walk in the love of God.
