I believe that you need to evaluate your situation again. The scriptures
clearly state in Leviticus 20:13 " If a man shall also lay with mankind, as he
lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall
surely be put to deathL thier blood shall be upon them."
There are also references found elsewhere in the scriptures against
homosexuality. This is one of the reasons that God destroyed Soddom and
Ghommora. I am a firm believer that the scriptures teach that once you are
saved, you are always saved. I would have to say that in this you are confused,
and that you have what is called a head knowledge of Christ. If you are truly
saved by the blood of Christ, then you will realize the sin of what you are
doing, sin, and will have the desire, and through strength in Christ the
ability to change your sinful ways and accept Him genuinly.

Please feel free to private email me if you wish to discuss this more in depth,
I have references to people who were in similar situations as you and come out
of it.
