Do gay people go to heaven

We may not think of deceit, boasting, greed or a rebellious attitude toward parents as equally depraved as same-sex behavior. Is that equally depraved in our book? Are we just as clear? The question of whether gay people go to heaven is a complex one that requires carefully examining what the Bible says about homosexuality and salvation.

Romans 1, Rosaria explains, revealed her heart. We have to ask: Who gets to declare what is good? How she defined herself. He does care. My point is that we often present it differently than the Bible does, as a sort of uber-sin in a categorically different realm.

Let me say something very clearly: Homosexuality does not send you to hell. At the heart of this issue are questions about sin, repentance, and God’s grace and mercy. We only grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know 1 Tim.

We will see in the face of every sinner a reflection of the corruption that afflicts our own hearts, the fruit of the rebellion we have participated in. Consider, for instance, materialism and pride. She goes on to say that in Romans 1, Paul shows us that we all go through what Eve went through in the Garden of Eden.

My point is not to say same-sex behavior is not sinful. When Jesus met with those in sexual sin, he graciously invited them back to him. In Romans 1, Paul lists same-sex behavior as one corruption among many. Our final destination depends not on what we’ve done but on how we responded to Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf.

But when he met those who were religiously proud, his words were blistering in their confrontation. Unrepentant sinners will die in their sin and be judged accordingly. Scripture is crystal clear in its condemnation of these two sins, both of which are enormous issues for the American church today.

Gay people go to either heaven or hell on the same basis that drunkards, liars, haters, and self-righteous church people go to either heaven or hell. It should be. I recognize Jesus is Lord and turn over control to him. Anger or ambition or certain sexual desires are not right simply because they come from deep within me.

A gay or homosexual person can accept Christ, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can accept Christ. He told her that according to Romans 1, the real issue was who got to call the shots in her life. The biblical depiction of sexuality hangs on much more than these passages, but the relevant passages directly addressing homosexuality are Genesis —11, Leviticus andRomans —27, 1 Timothy and 1 Corinthians b— Possessing a desire innately just shows us that we have corrupt hearts and we need to be born again.

So the only conclusion I can come to is that I must have been born polygamous. Jesus’ offer of salvation is open to everyone. How she sought fulfillment. The worst sin—the core sin, the sin behind all the other sins—is something of which we are all guilty.

We all come to Jesus in the same way.
