AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 6:9 ¶ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality, |
Bible Question: If you are saved for many years, then one day you start living a openly gay lifestyle or your gay and get saved and still live an openly gay lifestyle/ struggling to become free , will you go to heaven? |
Bible Answer: Babbigil, 1Co 6:9,10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. May I ask a question in return? How do you reconcile two things in your own question: 1. "Living an openly gay lifestyle 2. "Struggling to become free." Perhaps we are just having different terminology, but "living a gay lifestyle" whether hidden or exposed does not mean to me that they are struggling to become free of the sin. Regardless, rest assured that there is no salvation without repentence. Carefully note what is said in Ephesians chapter 4. Eph 4:17-24 So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Note very carefull how this passages says that if anybody has been rightly taught Jesus Christ, they were taught to turn from old sins in repentence and to instead walk in holiness. This is a jarring passage because it causes us to conclude that a great deal of the "easy believism" that passes itself as christianity today are teachings that fail to teach Christ. Repentence is required. In Christ, Beja |
