Will you go to hell for being gay

My God and I have talked about the fact that I

“You want to shove those words back in and put the lid on. But you can’t. Your child is gay. This goes against everything you’ve been taught. It was not what you had in mind, and you instantly wonder where you went wrong.”

When you grow a parent, you comprehend to expect the unexpected. But for many Christian parents, nothing can ready them to hear that their beloved child is gay. This is the child you have cradled, spoon fed mashed bananas, and dreamed a gorgeous future for. How could this be? What will the church say? What will your friends say? What does the future hold? You can’t even get your head around this.

If you are a Christian parent, family member or friend to whom your loved one has come out as queer or lesbian, then this is for you.

I call on you to sit down, relax, maybe get a cup of tea, and soak in what I’m about to tell you. My hope is to guide you as we walk for a bit through this maze of confusion, to help you find your way to wholeness. In many Christian circles, this is not good news, and you may begin to spiral into reflection and self-searching. We’ll get to that. But at the bottom of it all, this is not about you. Most parents’ first mistake is to mak

Is being gay a sin?

Answer

In order to answer the question “Is being same-sex attracted a sin?” we require to challenge some assumptions upon which the scrutinize 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 rule as “being short” or having blonde hair. So the question is worded in a loaded way and impossible to adequately answer in that develop. We need to shatter this question up and deal with each piece separately. Rather than inquire, “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 scrutinize, “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

Can a Gay or Sapphic person go to Heaven?

(Letter)

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

You’ve asked a very crucial question—and a very unyielding 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 scrutinize 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 unending 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,
