Homosexuals and Heaven
September 26, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I believe that the act of homosexual sex is a sin, just the same as sex outside of marriage, stealing, lying or many other things that God decreed as sins, however, none of these sins will keep a person out of Heaven if that person accepts the fact that Jesus died to pay the penalty for their sins. Salvation is given to anyone, anywhere in the world, that accepts Jesus free gift of forgiveness.

Now, I know that some will say "What about the person that never heard of Jesus?" and all I can respond, through faith, is that God said in the Bible that He has put the knowledge of Him and a persopns need for a Saviour in the heart of every living person and if a person acknowledges their sin and their need for a Saviour (which the Jews did before Jesus was born) then they are saved.

So gay people can go to heaven? Shit, even gay people get better access than atheists.

Dangerously close to preaching my friend. The acid test is to close your eyes and imagine the vicar saying this to his congregation and I can imagine that this is just the sort of thing he might say.

Why do you think homosexuality is wrong?

Don't just say because God says so. I want to know your honest opinion on it.

Yep, I agree. And I'll extend the question to pre-marital sex as well. Why is it wrong?

I wonder if Jesus would have given up quite so easily? Dodgy

I'm not sure what this second part has to do with homosexuality, but it doesn't matter cause it's a HUGE COP-OUT.
"Sure the Aztec people never heard about Jesus, but that's no excuse - god 'put it in their brain' to find him and accept salvation." What a damn joke.

Under that premise than, the muslims are all going to heaven too?
Yeah, I kinda doubt you made room in your Heaven for them did ya?

You aren't of the belief that Jesus absolved you of your duty to follow the "old laws"?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
