What a negative comment! We, as Christians, are required to spread the Gospel and bring as many to Christ as we possibly can, so they will be in Heaven with us. If your comment were true, there would be no churches...

I am a Christian with gay family members, and I think it is none of my business what they or anyone else does in their personal life.

Our actions on earth will not damn us to hell and will not get us into heaven. Only Christ can do that, He shed His blood on the cross for our total atonement. Nothing we can do to add to that, or to subtract to that.

Gay or straight, male or female, etc.

We are all One in Christ, male female jew gentile slave freed...

[Our actions on earth will not damn us to hell and will not get us into heaven.]

It’s in the BOOK. That’s the way it will be.

REVELATION 22:10-15
10 Then he instructed me, “Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for the time is near.

11 Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.”

12 “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.

15 Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.

Anyone can attend a church and fulfill social obligations. The true church is in the heart - and many heartless people attend churches. Aii I'm talking about is HOW teachings are done. Everyone sins, but many people sin by crippling the hearts of sinners by bashing them with the truth. Instead of leading people to Christ, they lead them to self-loathing and self-hatred. If Jesus had taken such a harsh approach, He'd have had no disciples.

Ezekiel 33:6 NIV
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.'
