I guess the key word here is ‘topic’, is there something in the title to indicate a discussion of form of homosexual sex acts? It seems to me the title asks about “destine to hell” could you point to the post in which the OP asked to discuss the sex practices of a homosexual?

The part where he said, “I’m an active homosexual.” That can have different definitions, depending on who you’re talking to. Some people consider themselves to be “active” even if they’re just self-identifying as gay, as opposed to actually committing sex acts, for example. In the context of Church teaching, it’s an important distinction to make.
I find that hard to believe for example the subject of masturbation arose on this thread and no one asked about how that was performed.

Well, there’s generally only one way to do it, in my knowledge. Be that as it may, I wasn’t the one making inquiries about specific acts.
In fact the relationship of this being illicit appears to be dropped quickly. i would suggest this is another example that the heterosexual practice of masturbation was treated differently than the homosexual illicit sex. occasionally yes however i would invite you to consider answering the earlier request to marty30 to correlate some of the earlier post with catholic teaching. ?? I do not understand this comment maybe when you explain the teaching base for many of the earlier posts, your comment will make sense to me?.

I had a dream last night. In it, I saw my future life if I continue to deny myself and I didn’t like it one bit. I need to be honest with myself.

In your reverse dreams is there anything besides gratification?

In some dreams are you happy and other dreams sad? Are there aspects other than gratification in those dreams?
 
Kolbe-
Thank you for answering my questions.

Hello! Thank you for your questions. First of all, I was never told to act on my homosexual desires by anyone. They are desires I have never acted out.
I am glad to hear that you have never acted on the desires. So no therapist, parent, teacher etc. has ever told you be true to yourself and just act on these desires?

I told my parents I was gay when I was 28 years old, not all that long ago. I told no one at all until I was in college. At that time I only told my spiritual advisors. I dated a few girls in high school and college, each time in an effort to appear and hopefully become “normal.” Obviously, those relationships never worked out. I was fairly firm in my beliefs before I ever told my parents so they didn’t really have to guide me as far as what the Church teaches. I contemplated telling my parents much earlier but was always afraid to do so. I wasn’t afraid at all of what their reactions would be. They are compassionate and loving people, they would never abandon me and I knew that. Anytime they spoke of homosexuality it was in a loving and compassionate way. I was afraid because I wanted so desperately and prayed so desperately for my sexuality to change. I hoped for a long time that it would. I no longer, nor will I ever again, pray that my sexuality changes. My prayer now is that I become the person God wants me to become. If I wake up attracted to women tomorrow, that’s great. If not, that’s great. I am God’s child, I am created (every part of me) and I am loved.

Kolbe- I am so happy to hear that you have such a wonderful support system in your family. 👍
I am also glad to read that you are grounded in your faith, you are right by the way, you are a child of God’s and you are loved!

It is imperative that parents do not display a disdain or hatred towards any group of people. The thought of how many gay kids listen to their parents give voice to their hatred of “faggots” literally breaks my heart. Those children are living something that even I can’t fathom. I know how difficult it is to grow up gay. I was lucky enough to do it in a very loving home. Whether you believe a person is born gay or not is completely irrelevant. A young person CAN be gay. To deny that is to choose to be ignorant. (I’m certainly not accusing you of this! I just feel it’s something people need to hear.) No matter how much love you show them they may not want to tell you. What’s important is that they know they are loved. Thank you again for your questions and have a wonderful day!

Peace and Love

TEEN-
Let me ask you, you know what God teaches about homosexual acts and homosexual people. If your dream was in contradiction to these teachings do you really think it was a dream from God or Satan the ultimate liar?

God. I keep praying to him to ask if homosexuality is truly wrong and he keeps comforting me about it.

is part of the truth all have sinned? to laugh at a young person’s belief and tell them they have a reading comprehension problem is the wise method? I remain in disagreement. However I thank you for sharing this opinion I am a parent, I teach occasionally at RCIA so am I headed to Hell with the other teachers, parents, and authorities? I am confused, did something change? The church used to teach unmarried teens were to be celibate, this thread only occasionally mentions that issue and it is not what recent pages are about.
Thank you for your reply

Texas-Roofer;

What you see is as badgering etc. or not showing what the church teaches etc. is not true. If you look back at other threads where some of us have conversed with Teen before you will see that he has been given church teaching etc. already.
If you feel that some part of Church teaching is missing by all means include it then.
You bring up masturbation, have you posted the church teaching on that? You mention celibacy have you posted the church teaching on that?
His confusion, I would think, comes from the point that what the Church teaches goes against what he wants to do, and he is not sure how to rectify those two things. That is why Courage has been suggested. It is my understanding that he is in therapy already but is once again getting conflicting information, hence this leads to more confusion on what is morally right and not.

Teen,
So God would tell you to do something that went against his teachings? That makes no sense, sorry.
I am sorry but what exactly about homosexuality are you asking God is wrong?

If God told you to murder your parents in a dream (totally against his teachings) would you do it?

No, because it hurts people. Homosexuality does not.

OK. Something we can agree on.

It hurts God and it hurts you (you did just spend time in a hospital partly due to your homosexuality).
You have been shown church teaching on sin, heaven, hell, and on homosexuality. How in light of Christ’s teaching can you say it does not hurt anybody? How in light of Christ’s teaching can you say homosexual acts ** are moral, when Christ clearly points out that they are not?**

homosexuality doesn’t hurt me, homophobia does.

It doesn’t hurt anyone because it’s love, please tell me why god is against love.

So the teachings in the bible on homosexuality are wrong? Christ is wrong? God is wrong? Do you see how silly this looks/sounds?
It is in your own mind that homosexuality is ok, in total disregard to what Christ teaches.

Teen, we have been over this before.
 
Teen,

Why would God in a dream tell you something was ok that blatantly went against his teachings?:confused:
