If homosexuals do not go to heaven, then neither do boasters, adulterers, self-centered people, thieves, liars, or anyone for that matter.
For someone that has been a Christian for 10 years the writer should know that he is off base here. Every REPENTANT sinner that has accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, goes to Heaven. If one is actively, unrepentantly engaged in the behaviors listed (not the personality traits) then they would NOT go to Heaven. Just like an unrepentant sodomite will burn in hell, so shall they.
But don’t take my word for it, try reading the Word of God.
homosexuality is a behavior or action, not a person.
I think we have to let God be the judge about who gets to Heaven. However, if you really love God then you don’t want to make him unhappy, and sin makes God unhappy.
Can you give a specific citation supporting your assertion that behaviors and “personality types” are distinct in God’s eyes?
I have a question. What about sexually active homosexuals who go to church and consider themselves Christians?
The reason I ask is because I was browsing through some threads that I'd previously book marked and came across this one.
When I became a Christian almost 18 months ago the first church that I attended was United Church of Christ (an offshoot of Obama’s church). At least half the extremely liberal congregation (I was 1 of maybe 3 or 4 conservatives) were male and female homosexuals most of them attending church with their “partner”. The assistant pastor was also a sexually active male homosexual.
I left this church when I read far enough in the Bible to discover that homosexuality is a sin.
Thanks for your input!
