Will you go to heaven if your gay

You’ve asked a very crucial question—and a very challenging 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 gay or homosexual person can acceptChrist, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can accept Christ. Jesus’ offer of salvation is open to everyone.

Your ask is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still leave to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his life, nothing can keep him out of Heaven. In John 10:28, Christ says of Christians,

“I give them permanent life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand.”

So, Lucy the real question, I believe, is whether your cousin had a life-changing experience with Christ. Jesus said in Luke,

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

What Does The Bible State About Homosexuality?

Introduction

For the last two decades, Pew Research Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible say about attraction to someone of the similar sex?”

Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the term homosexual wasn't even coined until the delayed 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.

Before we can spring into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a short but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.

For Christians to whom the Bible is God’s very written word, it is widely understood that God produced its content

Is being gay a sin?

Answer

In order to answer the question “Is being homosexual a sin?” we require 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 create. We need to shatter this question up and deal with each piece separately. Rather than question , “Is being gay a sin?” we need to ask, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” And, “Is it sinful to engage in queer activities because of those attractions?”


Concerning the first interrogate, “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 4:1; Hebrews 4:15). Eve was tempted in the garden, and the forbidden fruit definitely appealed to her, but it seems that she did not actually sin until she took the fruit and ate it (Genesis 3:6&n

     A: First off, leave me say that I can judge no one’s salvation. Only God can ultimately know if a person is saved or not. Of course, if a person has surrendered his or her experience to Jesus Christ and accepted what the Bible says a person must do to be saved, then that person WILL be saved. (For the sake of space, I will not go through the steps. Please see: Jesus Died For You!)

     According to the Bible, a key step in salvation is repentance. Repentance and salvation are connected over and over (Acts 2:38)(Mk 1:14-15)(2 Cor 7:10)(Mt 4:17)(Heb 6:1). In coming to Jesus, we must ALL admit that we are sinners, and we need His sacrificial payment for our sins. We must also sense great sorrow and remorse for our sins, and be willing to spin from them, forsake them, and go in a new direction with our lives. This is repentance. If we are willing to turn, God will help us. However, if we come to Christ unwilling to turn from sin, we cannot own a saving relationship with Him.

     Looking at repentance in regards to homosexuality, the Bible clearly says that homosexuality is a sin (Lev 18:22)(Lev 20:13)(Rom 1:24,26-27)(1 Tim 1:9-10)(1 Kin 14:24)(Deut 23:17-18). If a homosexual w
