Hi, my name is elshiva and I am celibate. After ten years of knowing that I am bisexual, I think this is my true identity. Maybe no religious order will ever accept me this is what God is calling me to do.

Thank you. You are all so wonderful.

PEACE!!!

1. You sound as if a burden was lifted.
Good on you. Religious orders are just made up of people who make judgments erroneously. I'm an agnostic myself, but if God is a large part of your life, your God isn't judging you for your sexuality.

:hug:

3. Thank you, but you misunderstood my post.
Thanks for the support. I am a bisexual, but I choose to be celibate. Celibacy is my identity. I am very vocally pro-gay in my church and will ALWAYS BE SO, but I think God wants me to be celibate and I want that too.
I'm a Christian Universalist, so everyone going to heaven whatever... God loves everybody

2. Bullwinkle's right.

God is not judging you by your sexuality.

I'm glad things worked out well with your parents.
