Say no to these people against Christ and send them to hell.

I agree to say no to their agenda and do not let them corrupt others, but as for sending them to hell, likely they are headed that way, but your attitude is way out of line. They need to be prayed for so that they can be saved and be set free from that kind of bondage to that kind of sin.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

James 2:8-13 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Jude 1:22-23 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

Scripture does indeed teach that homosexuality indicates a certain level of depravity in one's heart but NOBODY is beyond redemption and that kind of attitude is NOT Christlike.

In the Beatitudes, Jesus says that looking on a woman to lust after her is the same as committing adultery with her in his heart. Anyone who is so judging others had better be sure they have been absolutely perfect in their thought lives before casting the first stone.

Jesus died for ALL and it is God's will that all come to repentance and a knowledge of the truth, and I'm pretty sure that when He said that He knew that it would include homosexuals.

I will never condone that kind of sin, any more than I would condone ANY kind of sin, but there but for the grace of God go I or you or any other person. They were made in God's image just as you and I are. They are as deserving of salvation and being set free as any of us.

For myself, I pity anyone trapped in that lifestyle and who has to struggle with that kind of sin. Separate the sin from the sinner.

Your attitude is reprehensible.

Do you not know of the Second Resurrection?
If you want to read it described, read Ezekiel 37.

I thank you for 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, but I recommend reading the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 6.
It will give you a more complete context of your reference.
I've had it with Satan's It's time we sent them to hell (the grave).
Never forget, "so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. "

What's "reprehensible" is that we don't OBEY God, and we contiue to THINK that we know better than He does.
So we "Compromise" his judgments
and Satan continues to take us further away from our God.
Send them to HELL!

You are right. Thank you for expressing God’s true message. He does not want us to fuel the fires of hell. He loves us all, and wants us to turn away from sin, not embrace it.
