Homosexuals and Heaven

[Stucky]

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.

[ElDinero]

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

[Stucky]

Okay, forget it. I tried but you tell me that anything I say is preaching. I dont belong here. Yes, I'm mad now. You wont even give me a chance. Like Jesus said, I am casting pearls to swine. Goodbye

Wtf, man!

We have unanswered questions.

Don't be a little bitch about it.

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

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?

A presidential facepalm

You aren't of the belief that Jesus absolved you of your duty to follow the "old laws"?
