Bible Question: homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God, but my son was raised in the Church and he said that he is of God and yet he a homosexual. My question is God love sinner and hate the sin right ? |
Bible Answer: Shalom Mr C, Welcome to the Forum. This is not going to be the answer that you want, but maybe it will be helpful to counsel your son - so here goes: 1 Cor. 6:9 says "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 10 "nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." And further, read 1 Cor. 6:15-20 and especially verse 18 "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body..." So the above verses agree with you, God hates the sin of homosexuality. Does God love the sinner? Absolutely!! He gave His only Son to redeem each and every sinner from the bondage of sin! Can your son remain a homosexual and still be saved? Yes and No. First let's deal with the "no". He CANNOT be saved and live an active homosexual life. But Yes he can be saved and totally sell out to God's word and live the rest of his life celibately (it's been done before!). For that matter, if your son will let Him, God can completely renew your son's mind and heart! That's been done before too!! Gal. 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." Sorry, this wasn't exactly the answer that you wanted, but it's what the Bible says. And 1 Cor chapter 6 also says that what you join yourself to is what you become one with (that would be either a prostitute, another homosexual, or the Lord Himself - but you can't join yourself to both). I will be praying for you and your son Cheri |
