1 | Are gays/lesbians bound for hell? | Rom 5:8 | Marquita Blakemore | 41206 | ||
So If I continue to live the lifesyle of a lesbian I wil not inherit the kingdom of god. Even if for example me and my partner cintinue to study the word of god, spread the word of god, and live rightously together, because of our relationship we will not inherit the kingdom of god. I am very dissappointed because I first love christ and understand and acccept that he died for the remission of our sins, and I acknowledge him in all my ways but I still have a posssible chance of going to hell for living this lifestyle. | ||||||
2 | Are gays/lesbians bound for hell? | Rom 5:8 | prayon | 41233 | ||
Greetings Marquita, Homosexuality is considered and acceptable practice by many in our worlk today - even by some churches. But society does not set the standard for God's law. Many homosexuals believe that their desires are normal and they have a right to express them but I refer you to the verses below: 1Cor 6:9,10: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders not thieves not the greedy not drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Lev 18:22: Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Lev 20:13: If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. Rom 1:26-28: For this God gave them up to degrading passions, Their woman exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women were consumed with passion for one another....And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. God's plan for natural sexual relationshops is His ideal for His creation. Unfortunately, sin distorts the natural use of God's gifts. Sin means not only denying God, but also denying the way we are made. Homosexuality is strictly forbidden in scripture (see above scriptures). However, the good news is that God is willing to receive anyone who comes to Him in faith. God can and will forgive sexual sins just as He forgives any other sin. But when we come to Him we must put away our former ways and walk in His ways. I know I am being blunt and may sound uncaring or condescending but I do not mean to. You are a sister in Christ and with that comes my love in Christ. But I feel that a issue is either black or white. There is no gray area. Suppose that a murderer or a thief or a liar, or a swindler or a slanderer believed in God and studied His word religiously and went to church each week but still continued to murder or swindle, or steal, or lie, or slander: do you believe that he should or will inherit the kingdom of God? Luke 13:24-27 tell us that the door to heaven is narrow. It also tells us that Many will cry "Lord, open the door" and you will say 'But we ate and drank with you' and He will reply, 'I tell you, I do not know you. Go away, all you who do evil.' In your question you stated that you were concerned. I believe this to be the Holy Spirit at work in you convicting you of your lifestyle. Please let your prayers be that God show you the truth Himself and that He lead you to the place that He wants you to be at. You will be in my prayers. prayon |

Hello Mr. Nicohlson I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me on this issue. Yes I do belive also that the holy spirit is working on my conviction because although I feel like I'm happy in this relationship I'm not I'm scared because I know that in gods eyes I'm wrong I just thought maybe ther was some way of justifying it, that was satan working on me. Please I beg you and the brothers and sisters to keep me in prayer because I'm weak to this lifestyle it's an addiction that is very hard for me to kick. I need strength from god to save me and my friend from the hands of satan. I love you | ||||||

Greetings again Marquita, You are being very wise in recognizing Satan for what he is - a liar. He indeed will use any scheme or trickery in the book to try and get you to rationalize that you are not sinning. You said that you feel as though you are happy where you are at, and I applaud you for realizing that this is Satan making you think this. God will give you the strength that you need to get away from this lifestyle. Pray hard for that strength Marquita. You can and must resist acting upon the desires to remain in this lifestyle. Consciously avoid places or activities you know will kindle your temptations. This includes breaking the relationship you are in now and putting and keeping a good distance from this person. Never ever under estimate the power of Satan. Get involved in a church that is bible based and knows homosexuality is a sin. Find a professional Christian counselor or pastorial counselor that you can receive help from. What you are in is a type of addiction and you need counseling to break free of this addiction. Continuse to remain scared of Satan. It can be a driving force. I don't know if it will help you or not but I read a book once and whenever I start to sin by telling a little lie or getting back more that I should by a cashier it comes to mind and I easily have the strength to say no to Satan. For me it was a "scared straight" book. The book is called "A Divine Revelation of Hell". If you are interested in it I am sure you can get it from any Christian bookstore. Again my prayers are with you in your battle. You can also e me at my email address that is listed in my profile if you would like. prayon |
