Will gays go to heaven
“You want to shove those words support in and position 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 become a parent, you recognize to expect the unexpected. But for many Christian parents, nothing can organize them to listen that their beloved child is same-sex attracted. This is the child you acquire 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 top around this.
If you are a Christian parent, family member or friend to whom your loved one has arrive out as male lover or lesbian, then this is for you.

My aspire is to manual you as we walk for a bit through this maze of confusion, to help you find your way to wholeness.

ALEXANDRIA, Tenn. (BP) — “Why doesn’t God love gays?” a teenager asked during our youth ministry time the other night.
It was sort of out of the blue since the discussion was on the return of Jesus, but clearly it was on the heart of at least one, if not many, of the teens there that nighttime. I appreciate this teen’s boldness to ask!
It’s a question this generation has had to wrestle with that previous generations did not. In fact, the speed with which the topic of homosexuality has come to lead the social and political conversation is staggering, aided by what pastor Voddie Baucham described as “a coordinated, well-funded, well-connected propaganda strategy” in a 2012 article at The Gospel Coalition.
The movement has become like a snowflake that turns into an avalanche, demolishing any opposition in the public arena, and it’s still growing.
Without a doubt, many fresh people are confused. They’re hearing in pop culture and maybe even in their schools that homosexuality is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle that not only should be tolerated but celebrated and explored. Then, however, they catch from faith communit
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 rule as “being short” or having blonde hair. So the question is worded in a loaded way and impossible to adequately answer in that build. We need to separate this question up and deal with each piece separately. Rather than request, “Is being gay a sin?” we need to ask, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” And, “Is it sinful to engage in lgbtq+ 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 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

(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 Male lover person accepts Jesus but does not change his lifestyle, can he move to Heaven? I have a cousin who’s Gay.
—Lucy
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 same-sex attracted or homosexual person can acceptChrist, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can accept Christ. Jesus’ offer of salvation is unseal to everyone.
Your scrutinize is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still depart to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his animation, nothing can preserve him out of Heaven. In John 10:28, Christ says of Christians,
“I provide them eternal existence, and they shall never perish; no one can plunder them out of My hand.”
So, Lucy the real scrutinize, I believe, is whether your cousin had a life-changing experience with Christ. Jesus said in Luke,
