Dear friend,

Thank you for writing me. Hopefully I can help you a bit. Occasionally I get appeals for help from those struggle over the issue of homosexual temptations and accusations.

Perhaps you would wish me to be direct in this area. I hope so. All I wish to do is help you walk out of this area of frustrating temptations.

To begin with, the road you are on only goes one direction. It is a dark path. You must fight against the idea of 'gay-ness' with all your heart and with all your soul. It is often a last step over into reprobateness, that is, an abomination to God.

Wish I could tell you exactly what to do even to the extend of taking desperate measures, such as breaking your computer apart with a hammer. (I'm guessing that porn figures into your temptations. But that would not work. It is really a matter of your own heart.

Will you make your heart right with God? I say this in lovingkindness. You really don't want to walk down that road of homosexuality. It will eventually bring harsh judgments into your life.

When a person passes over into homosexuality, it is very difficult to reach them. They do everything to justify their sin before God. Actually many even become God-haters.

Don't be fooled by how television shows these people as happy and just humble folk. Their world is militant and miserable. Some escape that world with the help of the Lord. Others die horrible deaths, without God and without hope. It is not really a 'gay.' There is nothing gay about being in the world of the homosexual. It is filled with a deadly poison.

I pray you will take my words serious. I believe they are from the Lord. He loves you and wants to help you make your escape from the temptations that you are dealing with.

> Being very religious I know that this is not a way of God, but how do I
> get rid of these thoughts and ungodly desires that have been forced upon
> me every since I can remember.

You can talk some more with me about this area. Just keep in mind that my purpose is to help you, but I can only do that by the Spirit of the Lord, and by bringing you to a better understanding of God's Word. This is not an area where games can be played. I know that you realize that. Your misery is pretty obvious.

> I hate the way I am and I dont want to be this way, but through
> experiences of being called theses names so young have damaged me and I
> want to get out of this misery for good because I know that this is of
> God I would really appreciated if my name and all of my information is

Your name will never be mentioned without your permissions. Feel free to continue your talk with me.

Help me to help you.

In Christ,

Buddy
