Will i go to hell for being gay
Is being gay a sin?
Answer
In order to answer the question “Is being homosexual a sin?” we want to challenge some assumptions upon which the doubt is based. Within the past fifty years, the term gay, as applied to homosexuality, has exploded into mainstream culture, and we are told that “being gay” is as much outside one’s direct as “being short” or having blonde hair. So the question is worded in a loaded way and impossible to adequately answer in that establish. We need to divorce this question up and deal with each piece separately. Rather than seek , “Is being gay a sin?” we need to ask, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” And, “Is it sinful to engage in gay activities because of those attractions?”
Concerning the first ask, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” the answer is complicated. First, we should probably distinguish between (actively) sinning and (passively) being tempted:
Being temptedis not a sin. Jesus was tempted, but He never sinned (Matthew ; Hebrews ). Eve was tempted in the garden, and the forbidden fruit definitely appealed to her,
This I Believe: Homosexual Forever, Hell For Never
You’re going to hell. Yes, you, the adolescent male wearing the clamorous shirt, scarf, and skinny jeans. Yes, you, the student tutor with a GPA, who aspires to have a family, who has goals for your life and a career in mind and who was baptized in a Southern Baptist church? none of that matters when the Correctness is that you aren’t natural and neither are your actions.
The previous paragraph is what much of the LGBT (Lesbian, Queer, Bisexual, & Transgender) people hears on a daily basis from “Christians” everywhere. As a young homosexual man, I have learned to hide it in front of “those” people; the ones who I know will condemn me for wearing eyeliner in public or holding my boyfriend’s hand. I contain quickly learned that in their eyes it doesn’t matter what kind of home I was raised in, what kind of childhood I had, or how many scriptures I memorized between the ages of five and twelve. None of it matters as long as I want to live happily ever after with my handsome prince instead of the stereotypical and “normal” princess that
Can a Gay or Lesbian person proceed to Heaven?

I know the Bible says it’s a sin, but it also says that the only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus. If a Lgbtq+ person accepts Jesus but does not change his lifestyle, can he leave to Heaven? I have a cousin who’s Gay.

You’ve asked a very crucial question—and a very hard one.
And you are exactly right: there is only one sin that is unforgivable. That is the sin of not believing and not receiving Jesus Christ into your life.
A queer or homosexual person can acceptChrist, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can accept Christ. Jesus’ offer of salvation is unlock to everyone.
Your scrutinize is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still travel to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his animation, nothing can preserve him out of Heaven. In John , Christ says of Christians,
“I provide them eternal existence, and they shall never perish; no one can take them out of My hand.”
So, Lucy the real scrutinize, I believe, is whether

Silence Equals Support?
In a article for Slate online, Will Oremus asked a provocative question: Was Jesus a homophobe?1
The article was occasioned by a story about a gay teenager in Ohio who was suing his high college after school officials prohibited him from wearing a T-shirt that said, “Jesus Is Not a Homophobe.”
Oremus was less concerned about the legal issues of the story than he was about the accuracy of the utterance on the shirt. Oremus suggests that Jesus’s views on homosexuality were more inclusive than Paul’s. He writes,
While it’s reasonable to assume that Jesus and his fellow Jews in first-century Palestine would have disapproved of lgbtq+ sex, there is no log of his ever having mentioned homosexuality, let alone expressed particular revulsion about it. . . . Never in the Bible does Jesus himself offer an explicit prohibition of homosexuality.
Oremus seems to suggest that since Jesus never explicitly mentioned homosexuality, he must not have been very concerned about it.
There are at least two reas
