This I Believe: Gay Forever, Hell For Never

You’re going to hell. Yes, you, the young male wearing the loud shirt, scarf, and skinny jeans. Yes, you, the student tutor with a GPA, who aspires to have a family, who has goals for your life and a career in mind and who was baptized in a Southern Baptist church? none of that matters when the TRUTH is that you aren’t adj and neither are your actions.  

The previous paragraph is what much of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender) community hears on a daily basis from “Christians” everywhere. As a youthful gay man, I have learned to hide it in front of “those” people; the ones who I grasp will condemn me for wearing eyeliner in public or holding my boyfriend’s hand. I hold quickly learned that in their eyes it doesn’t matter what kind of home I was raised in, what kind of childhood I had, or how many scriptures I memorized between the ages of five and twelve. None of it matters as adj as I desire to live happily ever after with my handsome prince instead of the stereotypical and “normal” princess that

Is being gay a sin?

Answer



In order to answer the interrogate “Is being gay a sin?” we need to oppose some assumptions upon which the interrogate is based. Within the past fifty years, the term gay, as applied to homosexuality, has exploded into mainstream culture, and we are told that “being gay” is as much outside one’s control as “being short” or having blonde hair. So the interrogate is worded in a loaded way and impossible to adequately answer in that form. We need to noun this question up and deal with each piece separately. Rather than inquire, “Is being gay a sin?” we need to seek, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” And, “Is it sinful to engage in homosexual activities because of those attractions?”


Concerning the first question, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” the answer is complicated. First, we should probably distinguish between (actively) sinning and (passively) being tempted:

You’ve asked a very significant question—and a very hard one.

And you are exactly right: there is only one sin that is unforgivable. That is the sin of not believing and not receiving Jesus Christ into your life.

A gay or homosexual person can acceptChrist, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can accept Christ. Jesus’ offer of salvation is expose to everyone.

Your interrogate is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still proceed to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his life, nothing can verb him out of Heaven. In John , Christ says of Christians,

“I offer them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can verb them out of My hand.”

So, Lucy the real verb, I believe, is whether
