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: if you are a practicing homosexual the answer is "no" Matt 22:14 14 "For many are invited, but few are chosen." (NIV) the only way to be chosen,is to choose Jesus. you see God knows those who will except his son Jesus and be saved because he knows all things about your life right to the end. until Jesus is excepted as your Lord and Saviour, its quite simple what will happen to you even i can tell you what will happen to you "you will go to hell" ohh! but why does God send people to hell? well here is somthing that might suprise you, he doesnt sent you to hell, all God does is he honors your decision to go. you cannot be saved and still practice sin as a way of life, a change has to take place. you agree that Jesus set the example of how we should live, in fact the will of God is for you to become more like his Son Jesus and my bible says nothing about Jesus having a sexual relationship with a man or teaching that it is good to do so, how Could he, he is God. ohh! please open your eyes and see the truth except Jesus and allow him to change you, it wont be easy i know, but with the Holy Spirit and someone you can be acountable to one that you can trust you can beat the devil God has a gift of life for you and you may already of recieved it but you havent opend it yet i challenge you to open it and see what the Good Lord has in store for you only by putting to use what the Lord has given you will you find change starting to take place in your life. remember not all who say Lord Lord will enter the kingdome of heaven Matt 7:21-27 21 "Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to me as 'Lord,' but still won't get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey my Father in heaven. 22 At the Judgment many will tell me, 'Lord, Lord, we told others about you and used your name to cast out demons and to do many other great miracles.' 23 But I will reply, 'You have never been mine. Go away, for your deeds are evil.' 24 "All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won't collapse, for it is built on rock. 26 "But those who hear my instructions and ignore them are foolish, like a man who builds his house on sand. 27 For when the rains and floods come, and storm winds beat against his house, it will fall with a mighty crash." (TLB) Luke 6:46 46 "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? (NKJ) the key to success as a child of God is to do as He says to be obediant God doesnt save religious people but rather obediant people willing to do his work and homosexuality is not one of them. i dont know who you are or even if this is for you or if you are doing this on behalf of a freind, but i love you with the love of Jesus, and i would really like to see you in heaven one day so please, please, please make the right decision and do what you know deep down inside what is truly the right thing to do. remember the decision you make to day will determain were you will be in the future. your election is only a life changing faith choice away, so choose life. joelove |
