I know this might not be the place for this, but I can't think of any other place. I'm a teen growing up in the church, and I'm so confused. Does the fact that I am bisexual mean that I am evil? That I will burn in hell? What does this all mean? I'm confused, and scared beyond belief, because everything I have ever learned goes against who I am!

First of all I may not be the right person to answer this question. I am lesbian (therefore I do not think homosexuals or bisexuals are evil) and I am not a christian (although I have been a member of the Danish protestant church). But no, I do not think you are evil and I do not think god will think you are. As Boy George says in the son Same Thing in Reverse: In God's image I am made. We are all made in the image of god. If he/she created us this way, how can it be evil? I think God rejoices every time he sees love, no matter what kind.

God is love, dear one. Always remember that. When you are old enough and independent you have nothing to lose but your chains if you come to terms with who you really are..........until then read other books that discuss a more temperate view of the world and a real, living, non judgemental deity.
Good luck,

Well, the way I see it (not being a particularly religious person myself, bar the odd bit of pantheism here and there when I want to justify things) is that, as most people in a position of religious authority say if you badger them about it for long enough - the soul does not really have a gender/sex/whatever. It is something metaphysical and beyond all this bipolar structure.

So why would one be damned for loving someone of the same gender/sex/whatever? After all, if the relationship is entered into with a good heart and pure intentions (that is, I want to actually care for this person and love them, I am not just looking for a quick one on the side), then on a metaphysical level, it really does not matter if you are both men or both women or one man and one woman or one or both of you have no gender or both gender or a third gender or what, because souls are beyond this petty sort of thing. If the soul really cared about these sorts of thing, you would be damned if, say, you had green eyes and your partner had blue eyes.

And to be sure, there are a few passages in the Bible (can't find the exact ones... I sort of went into a hissy fit and ate them after those friendly JW's told me where exactly they were...) that say that men with men is wrong, and women with women is wrong. However, most of these are about rape - because, as we all know, all non-heterosexuals are paedophiles and rapists...

So while on the surface it appears that Christianity condemns all non-heterosexuals to a fiery doom (incidentally, there is no real fiery Hell, it's actually just an absence of anything for the rest of eternity - including an absence of body and an absence of thought so if you go to Hell you wouldn't even know it), in actuality if you approach the issue with logic and a clear knowledge of context and whatnot, it actually doesn't really hate it too much at all.

So even if the Christians around you do not approve, God/Jesus/Moses/Dave+Johnny still love you. And hopefully even for them there'll be a day when the gays and the grims can live peacefully together. Not for a while, by the looks of things (http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,21805331-954,00.html) but someday, maybe.

Hi, Jade. I read your post with rapt interest. I just want to say that God loves you. He doesn't reject you because you are bisexual. If you have asked Jesus to come into your heart already, praise God! I am a transgendered, born again Christian who is also a crossdresser. I discovered my transgenderism only two years ago. God did not reject me because I'm transgendered just as He will not reject you because you're bisexual.

Jesus is interested in your heart, Jade. Seek his guidance and wisdom in this matter. All people need to come to Christ whether gay, straight, transgender, or bisexual.

I know your scared. I was when I found out that I was transgendered and like to dress in women's clothing. When I admitted to myself that I am a crossdresser and transgender, all the stress and tension disappeared. I have peace about the matter and feel no guilt or shame about it. I have a desire to minister to men and women like yourself.

You can read my testimony on the website posted below.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I will be praying for you, Jade.

Hi, Jade. How are you doing? It's been nearly a year since I posted about this and I'm wondering if things are going well with you? If you want to send a private message feel free to do so.

I'm pretty sure God doesn't want people to be evil so he won't make something you have no control of make you evil.

[gennee]

Hi Jade. How are you? I pray that you are doing well. I pray that you have found some peace in your life. God loves you as you are.
