Bible Question: If you believe that the Doctrine of Election teaches that God pre-chose individuals to be saved then is it possible for a practicing homosexual to be one of the chosen ones? |
Bible Answer: Subject: Ask not can a homosexual be an elect? Note: Can those that are already well be healed? Did Jesus come to call the righteous to repentance? "Is it possible for a homosexual to be saved?" (I don't care for the type of question the Pharisees asked to try to trip up Jesus.) You'll find the answer in Jn 3:16; Jn 5:24; Rom 10:13, etc. . . . Jesus said in Matt 12:31(ASV), "Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven." Note: He said, "Every sin . . . shall be forgiven unto men." . . . The next thing you know someone will ask whether angels can be homosexuals, and if so, how many homosexual angels can dance on the head of a pin? |
