As a Christian, can you sin and maintain your testamony infront of the non-believer? How can you say Jesus delivered you from a particular sin if you still do it. That makes a mockery of the Christ. If you do not continue in Homosexual practices, you are not a Homosexual. You have to let Christ clean you up. Sin cannot enter into heaven, the Blood of Jesus cleans us from sin, but with out guidance from the Holy Spirit and fellowship with other christians, we will wander back into the muddy pit. (backsliding). No, scripture clearly dictates who will not enter into heaven, and those that continue in homosexual practices will not. Read leviticus18 and 20 and 1Corintians. God hasn't changed his laws. He just made it easier to get into heaven.

Zavien, I'm going to repost again:

>"...one can be Christian, and still fall into sin. The question is, will you recognize it and yourself to be set free?

>The difference between the "Christian" and the "Sinner" is not that the Christian never sins; it is that the Christian repents and is forgiven of his sins. The difference is not in the person - the difference is Jesus Christ in that person."

The word, repent, is indicative that the person sinning no longer sins. There is no continuation of the sin, and if one falls back into bad habits, one repents yet again and tries even harder to make it work.

Please read the above post before you continue. I have posted the word repent three times in this post. I have not even remotely suggested that any person can continue in sin. If you truly do not understand what I am posting regarding repentance of sin, and it's place in Christian life, there is a wonderful discussion available at

Gospelcom.net: Pathway of Repentance and Growth.

Actually, (and this does not appear to refer to you, Zavien) I just got completely amazed. I referred to this article not knowing that it directly addresses those who struggle with homosexuality and Christianity - it seems that God is trying to reach someone here on this board. Someone needs to know they are not alone, and God does not abandon us to our struggles. He is there with us, every step of the way.

Zavien, I think God just used your misunderstanding to reach someone. Thanks for being persistant!
