I'm a 17 year old male. I am gay and since I am hated and everything I think it's time I left. Is suicide a sin?

You are Loved
by: Cheryl

Jesus loves you and I do to......really, my youngest daughter struggled with this for about five years. She lived with two different women, but she knew that it was a sin, and eventually began crying out to God, and He helped her to get out of the bad relationship she was in. Now she is married and has a son who is about 18 months old, and she is happy. So there is lots of hope for you. Yes, it is a sin, but God loves you and does not want you to be destroyed. He came to set the captive free, and give you hope, and a life more abundantly. He loves you even when you are struggling. I wish I had known several years ago when I had struggled with sin, instead I turned my back on God and kept going back and forth. But to know He truly does love you and He does care about you and He does want you to have a good and blessed life, not be depressed, unhappy, and feel unloved or unneeded.

You Are LOVED...
by: Mary

PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE BY GOD. IF ANY THOUGHT TO HURT OR TAKE YOUR LIFE,IT IS NOT OF GOD, BUT OF SATAN WHO ROAMS THE EARTH LIKE A ROARING LION TO DEVOUR.

PLEASE GRAB TIGHT TO THE GOD WHO LOVES YOU AND ME.
WE ARE ALL SINNERS, THAT IS WHY, OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU BECAUSE GOD SO LOVED YOU HE DID NOT YOU TO PERISH, HE SENT HIS BELOVED SON TO DIE ON THE CROSS TO TAKE OUR SINS ON HIM FOR US. BECAUSE GOD IS HOLY AND CAN NOT LOOK ON SIN JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS TO TAKE YOUR SIN, SO BY ACCEPTING HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR, YOU CAN STAND IN HEAVEN ONE DAY WITH GOD.

AND BECAUSE JESUS LOVES YOU (put your name here)
HE WENT TO THE CROSS WILLINGLY. SO IF GOD CHERISHES YOU THIS MUCH PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE LIFE HE GAVE YOU. AS AMEERAH SAID, HE HAS PLANS FOR YOU, FOR A FUTURE AND HOPE. GOD IS ONLY GOOD, HE IS LIFE, HE IS PEACE, HE IS JOY, HE IS PROTECTION. WHEN YOU ACCEPT HIM NO ONE CAN SNATCH YOU OUT OF HIS HAND AND NOTHING CAN SEPERATE YOU FROM HIS LOVE.

THERE MAY PEOPLE WHO GOD CHANGED THEIR LIFE ALL AROUND FOR THE BEST. AND YOU AND I ARE TWO OF THEM. PLEASE WRITE BACK JESUS LOVES AND SO DO I.

You are not hated. I am sorry you feel that way. I am a Christian and have friends that are dealing with homosexuality as well. I also have friends that deal with alcoholism, drug addictions. gossiping and hatred.
I can tell you from personal experience about attempted suicide. I was in a dark place in my life where I felt that no one cared. Not even God. I slit my wrist. I was so far gone that I felt my feet and legs on fire. It was a horrible feeling. I saw visions of hell and knew thats where I was going. Thank God a christian peramedic cam to my rescue.. He told me that I was not gonna die on his shift and in the name of Jesus get up! He took me to the hospital. This was many years ago. since then. I have stuggled with how can God forgive me for trying to take my own life when one of the commandments is thou shalt not kill. God forgives us of our sins. Jesus died on the cross that we might be forgiven. You can be set free from homosexuality. My pastor shared last night that some people "feel they are born that way" and thats its "feelings" you constantly have. But also... a drug addict has to ask God to remove that addiction. and those feelings and not to give into them. same with an alcoholic. I know something about both. when the craving tries to come back.. I get in the word of God. I pray and ask God to help me to stay away from it. and to also remove anyone or thing in my life that can be trying to pull me in that direction.
I will be praying for you. I believe you posted on here because you want answers and deliverance. I will be praying for you. That God put you in the path of some true christian people that will reach out to you and show you the love of God.
I encourage you to get a bible and read it. Read in the new testament. John 3:16-17. Romans 8:28. Hang in there!
Lord I come to you in the name of Jesus for this young person that is struggling with homosexuality. Lord i come against this lie of the enemy that this person is hated. Lord i pray that you show them that you died on the cross for their sins. that you love them. and care to set them free. Lord I pray that you put people in this persons life that will lead them to you. that will help him /her to cry out to you and will pray right where they are. That they see they have a need for you in their life. Lord encourage this person. strengthen them.Let them see past the lies of satan and realize that satan is the one that came to steal kill and destroy (john 10:10 and that you (Jesus) came to give life and give it more abundantly.
In Jesus name I pray. amen.

You Are NOT Hated
by: Ameerah

First off, I want to start off by saying that you are NOT hated. Regardless of our mistakes and imperfections, God does not hate us. In fact, it is the exact opposite, God loves you. The Bible reminds us that Jesus loves us so much that, even while we were still in sin, He chose to die to reunite us with God.

No, bisexuality is not God's will for you, but neither is fornication or hatred or envy or greed, but that does not mean God hates every person who has ever participated in any of these things. If you really study what the Bible says about homosexuality, you'll find that it is what the Bible calls a curse.But the Bible also says that Jesus' sacrifice set us free from the curse because He became a curse for us. He already bore the brunt of the curse so that we can be free. But we have to fight for that freedom.

You asked the question, is suicide a sin. I believe it is. First off, it is murder - no one else has the right to choose when a human life will end but God. But, in addition to that, suicide assumes that things will not get better. It assumes that God's plan for you is not worth living for, when that is not what He's promised. The God of the universe promises that He has plans for you. Plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. But suicide says you don't believe Him. The Bible reminds us that anything without faith is sin. Without faith it is impossible to please God because we must not only believe that He is, but that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. But suicide proves that we don't believe God is who He says He is. We don't trust His unyielding love for us, and we don't trust that, if we yield our lives to His will, He can put things back together.

Is suicide a sin. Because it is totally without faith, and anything without faith is sin, I believe it is a sin. Not only is it a sin, but I believe it breaks the heart of God and truly grieves the Holy Spirit. he loves you so much and wants to help you make sense of everything, but suicide is like slamming the door in His face.

If you are truly considering suicide, before you make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion, seek help. Find a local poster or Christian counselor who can help walk you through all of this. You don't have to go through this alone. No matter what Satan would have you believe, you are not hated, but loved.

God Bless,
Ameerah
