Actually no it does not. Again that's why stupid people.. (Sorry Freudian slip) People who blindly reguard the bible as stupid should take the time to see what it actually says before they hate it because others hate it.
The bible condemns Evil. Romans one identifies Evil as sinners who love their sin more than they love God, so God turns them over to their sin. Meaning God allows them to see their sin as being " moral."
Then in romans 2 Paul points out that the people in the church do Commit the exact same sins as the evil people of romans 1.. This means Evil is not defined by what you do, (Your works/acts themselves have or hold no moral value in relation to sin and evil) but your feelings for your sin over your love for God is what is Evil. In essence Paul says their are Homosexuals in the group of sinners (romans 2) who are in line for forgivness of their sins and therefore in line to goto Heaven.
So again no. Not all homosexuals goto Hell. The Evil amongst all of us will go to hell, our indivisual sin are not what send us there. it is our attitude toward them (The fact that we prize sin over God) that sends us to Hell. Whatever that sin maybe.
The bible has little intrest in changing people's religious beliefs, or way of life Except in so far as it directly conflicts or leads to what the bible/Paul identifies as "Evil." (romans 1) Then it is stern and unyeilding. Thier is mercy, but only in the form of patience, Not latitude. God even seem to let us cling to whatever 'christian' notions that will foster this change, but do not mistake His patience for acceptance. Because when it comes to change, change you must, or you will never find a home with God, but have destroyed yourself in your own self righteousness.
