I don't believe that homosexual thoughts are more harmless than heterosexual thoughts. Lust in general is adultery, it knows no orientation. I'm not endorsing homosexuality, but I'm just saying that you don't have to feel like you're more sinful than the lustful straight people. You and us are fighting the same fight. Lustful desire is inevitable, it's something that we have to fight, not only through God's help but also our own will. And there's a difference between 'desire' and 'want'. Desire is only an impulse, we have a choice to follow that impulse or to deny it, and 'want' is when we choose to follow that impulse. Desire is inevitable, while want is a sin. To simply have lustful impulses, in my opinion, isn't a sin by itself, but to act upon that impulse is what we consider as a sin.

Are you attracted to women?

Are the thoughts intrusive?

If they are, just ignore them. Pretty much everyone agrees that totally intrusive thoughts are not sin by themselves. Giving in to them is.

Remove all sources of these thoughts from your life. Avoid areas and websites likely to trigger them, etc.

Keep praying. Read the Parable of the Unjust Judge or the Parable of the Friend at Night. Be persistent and Jesus says that the Father is good and generand will grant you what you ask for. I'll pray for you the next few days, too.

To be honest, it's lust for a sin which screams vengeance against God's throne, so I think it's worse than "vanilla" lust on some level.

hey OP, i have a similar problem - i get thoughts and ideas about sleeping with lots of women

on top of that i have a lot of rage, so i often feel like murdering people who have angered me

i'm also quite selfish, so instead of giving my time and energy to folks in need, i indulge in useless entertainments that only serve to please me - and in effect: idolise my own pleasure

oh but much worse than that, i don't love my Creator as much as He deserves; the One who gave me life and salvific faith often being forgotten as i go about my other pursuits and sins

thankfully, He is a wonderful and merciful God who goes out of His way to rescue those whom have gone astray; continually sanctifying them and bringing them back to a humble submission and a recognition of His glorious grace; His mercy overwhelming me to the point where i prefer to spend time in true worship than indulging my lusts

so if you are a believer in Christ, having turned from your own self-determination and having been gifted with the ability to place your trust in Jesus to save you; then He will complete the work He has started, and even use your sin as a means to make you more dependent on Him - for He works all things together for good, for those that love Him…. and those who have been forgiven much, love Him much more

of course if you're not a submitted slave to Christ Jesus then there's no hope for you, so it doesn't really matter how much homosexual stuff you do - you're facing an eternity set apart from the One who is Life, and that would ruin you just as much as if you were a heterosexual adulterer

Well you're reprobate if you're actually attracted to dudes

Do you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord? That is the rubric. As for homosexuality, continuing in that path does not indicate a heart that believes that Christ is Lord. If He is your Lord, then you must listen to Him, and He has expressed that unrepentant homosexuality is the fruit of a reprobate mind that has rejected the authority of the Lord over it.

Does a fig tree produce thorns? No.

Does a thornbush produce figs? No.

Produce good fruits of your deeds in keeping with faith in God, in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit.

This is how the cunt does it. This is temptation, all designed to derail and stumble you, regardless whether you were tempted or not. If he can make you THINK you're tempted, he's got you.

A little whisper here, a supportive "everybody's doing it" there, and if you don't resist the temptation before long you're … what? you were perhaps expecting some explicit details here? in a truckstop cafeteria while stop looking for shit, fam on the trapeze.

No, seriously:

RESIST!!!

RESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!

You are NOT gay, and the vile one cannot make you so. So, scourge the thoughts from your head. Pray diligently Christ's name every time the vile one comes to you with these thoughts

Seek Christ at all times.

I can't imagine what a messed up mind, broken personality, and ruined soul you'd have to have to see another man's anus and think, "Yes, putting my penis in that and getting it covered in blood and feces seems like the right thing to do." Anyone who has even that temptation is mentally ill to the point of insanity and is dangerous. My mother is a rabid feminist atheist leftist and horribly physically and emotionally abused and my brother and me and tried to brainwash us to become faggots when we were children. My brother was raped by a neighbor boy as a child and was "raised" for four years by my mother after I left home and after his life of hedonism and militant atheism he recently turned into a sodomite at the age of 30 and "came out of the closet" to me defiantly during a phone call on Christmas. I instantly lost all trust for him and I want to cut off all contact with him. Anyone crazy and evil enough to actually commit sodomy can do anything including murder and child molestation and I want nothing to do with him anymore. He'll never accept the Gospel. I've tried. I think it would just be best for him if he committed suicide.

It's part of depravity, it turns something that's not attractive into attractive because of the lack of attraction and how "wrong" it is for you to want it.

I used to be the same. Remove everything that promotes these feelings in you and your thoughts will go away, pray constantly. Remember that being attracted to something i only a biological/psychological reaction and you have the power to choose to stop it and focus on anything else.
