I'm Bisexual. How do I reconcile that with my faith?

How is this handled? What does The Church say about individuals with my condition?

(This is a sensitive topic for me)

just come to grip with reality, you were not created that way, it is simply a desire you have. it probably started as a temptation and you just fell for it, don’t be brainwashed to believe that’s who you are, you are better than that because you were created in God’s image, and that doesn’t mean you look like God, it means God gave you the ability to be perfect like Him. “be perfect like my father in heaven is perfect” that was not a figure of speech! He meant it…

God DOES not creat people as bi sexual, tri sexual or any other.
God created** ALL **men and women to enjoy the use of sexual relationships ONLY in the relationship of MARRAGE.
Mankind (women included) fall into other relationships and say that “GOD MADE THEM THAT WAY”

Well the world will tell you that, reporting it that way through media, and education, and others.
BUT that is the way that Jesus tells us that satan works. Satan puts the thought there and tells it’s followers to programm it into others, as convincingly as can be.

That is not God’s plan though, DONT be fooled.
Peace

Everyone here has given very good practical advise on remaining chaste prior to and after marriage, explaining that though you may be attracted to more people, it’s not much harder to remain chaste as it is for others.

I suggest to look at your faith with a positive spin, not just as a “restraining” agent. God is a good God! He wants only the best for us!

For us, a loving sexual relationship occurs in marriage between a man and a woman, for their the benefit of spouses and for procreation of life…

Thinking organically, though some may argue that the same sex possibility can uphold the “for the benefit of the spouses” clause, it definitely cannot uphold the “for the procreation of life” [or at least openness to it] clause.

I suggest meditating on LIFE…maybe on the Holy Spirit [the Lord, the Giver of Life] as an agent of life. Mary’s prayers are good as well.

Our humanity is holistic, not just sexual. It has many other dimensions.
When we are fragmented, parts of us get “out of alignment”… As we learn to align ourselves to the LIFE principle, all of our humanity aligns as well, eventually.

Just dwell on LIFE! Be more organically-minded!

Peace be with you!
