Can a gay or lesbian person go to heaven???

If that person does not change their lifestyle(If they continue have homosexual sex)NO,they will not go to heaven.\n\nIf that person does not want to change their lifestyle,they are not showing very much love for Christ,are they?\n\nEven if a person could not choose what they were born as,they can choose not to sin.\n\nIf someone tells you they are a Christian homosexual and they do not abstain from homosexual sex,then they are lying to you and themselves.\n\nIf Jesus could go through the torture he went through for us we can abstain from sin for Jesus.

larrykeutner,\n\nYes, but God isn’t interested in changing or removing any particular sin. God gives a brand new life. \n\nI have no personal experience with homosexuality, but in my humble opinion, Sy Rogers is the best source of information on the subject and many other questions regarding Christians and sexuality.\n\nYou can easily find his website, and he or someone there will respond personally to your questions and concerns.\n\nSy was gay – and then some. He was 1 ½ years into the process of having a sex change at Johns-Hopkins medical center when he turned around. He had to live as a woman for 2 years before he could have the operation. (I’ve seen pictures of him during that time period, and he was a pretty good looking woman.) He told God to give Him a sign and the next day he heard on the radio that Johns-Hopkins was no longer going to do sex change operations because it was not a real fix for the deep-seated troubles that it was supposed to cure.\n\nHe has been married for over 25 years and has a daughter. He speaks to groups in churches or bars. He and his band were performing his music in a bar one time, and he asked if anyone would like to learn more about Jesus. About ½ the bar or 500 people went out into the parking lot to hear more. He is one of the boldest and most effective ministers of the gospel that I have ever heard, and I’ve been hearing them for over 50 years.\n\nI trust this helps.\n\nGod bless.\n\nlarrykeutner,\n\nOne of my best friends as I was growing up is gay. We have been friends for over 35 years.\n\nSy Roger’s good friends were the first 2 gays married in Hawaii. What started him thinking about leaving the homosexual lifestyle was when those 2 friends started reading their Bible while attending their gay church, and they decided that what they were doing was wrong. They told Sy the news, but it didn’t thrill him to say the least. That event was the impetus that caused him to question his desire to have the sex change operation.\n\nHe was so blessed to find a church where the men loved him and hugged him even though he still looked and dressed like a woman. (After all these years, Sy still has female mannerisms and sounds effeminate.) I pray that you will find that same kind of acceptance. \n\nThe real issue for all Christians is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. I don’t know you, Larry, but I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am to know you. I will never understand homosexuality without the requisite experience, but I know a lot about struggling with sin. If you like, I will tell you what has worked best for me. It is rather lengthy, but if you’re interested, I’ll send it to you.\n\nGod bless,\n\nTom

What does religion and homosexuality have to do with anything?\n\nYou can be gay and still be spiritual, just the same as a straight person can be spiritual.

Gay like in happy. No. Gay as in homosexuality. Yes, it is a sin. You can be a homosexual far as not the sexual act to some Christians. Some Christians prefer gays to be celibate therefore it's the only way you can get in Heaven to some if you become a christian. Some people say that there are Christians gays that are celibate and living Christ-like therefore they have eternal life with Jesus!

Go ask the Mormons they will hook you up with a great false teaching about degrees of heaven. You can't be a little sinful. Like you can't be a pregnant. You are  in sin or you aren't  No unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God.. One little patch of filth makes you dirty..  Jim

Yes they are. According to my religion, you have to be a christian to go to heaven.Since they are not christians, they are going to hell

why would a gay person go to an organisation which openly preaches intolerance and bigotry....people only go to church when they need others to do their thinking for them or they need a crutch...most gays i know are pretty well balanced, thinking people so what they need a church for...?

I will definitely go to Heaven. I belong to Jesus and He has paid the price for past, present, and future sins. \n\n\nBelieve in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved\nActs 16:31\n\nThere is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of Heaven for people to call on to save them.\nActs 4:12\n\nYour sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.\n\n1 Corinthians 6:11 \n\n\nAnd we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.\n\nRomans 3:22\n\nWhoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.\n\nMark 16:16

Why would gays want to go to church in the first place. From what I can tell the Bible is homophobic . 1 corinthians 6:9 says they don't go to heaven, and mainstream christianity pretty much says,  "well heh heh read your babble or go to hell"\nso\n\nits like jews and blacks going to kkk ralleys, just dont make sense

God wants everyone to be saved it is not His will that anyone shall perish. Even homosexuals have a chance at Salvation if they repent and change from their wicked ways. But, if you have a whole lot of them in one church chances are the Truth isn't been taught there; and if the pastor of that church is marrying them it's definitely isn't taught there.  Homosexuality is a SIN not only that it's unnatural and whosoever teaches it be it a pastor, church members, or society that this sinful act is right is just as sinful as the people that are doing it. NO ONE IS BORN THAT WAY; GOD DON'T MAKE MISTAKES LIKE THAT! God is a just God if He beleive in this gross sin He would have made a world with only men or a world with only women. My goodness! how can two hard bodies lay up in the bed together and call it pleasure. Farther more how can two women lay up together and call it pleasure.\n\nRomans 1:21-28\nBecause that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in the imaginations; and their foolish hearts was darkened.\nProfessing themselves to be wise they became fools.\nWherefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  For this cause GOD GAVE THEM UP into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense (to pay for) of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO REPROBATE MIND (reject as worthless) to do those things which are not convenient. NEED I SAY MORE I DON'T THINK SO!

33. mary is just his mother, so no. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...

yes, they are going to hell for not believing this: you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it.

It is one thing struggling with lesbian tendencies, while repenting and whole-heartedly wanting to be set free....it is quite another to be actively involved in such a lifestyle, without repentance....if you are of the former type, there is every chance you are heading to heaven....either way you can be sure of one thing : God is not so judgmental as one of those "holy" elder/pastors who run churches, while sitting on high horses....Jesus understands you and He loves you.....

Yes!  The Only way to Heaven is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.  \nSeveral years ago I came out of witchcraft and the occult! I got hooked up in that mess because I was searching for Spiritual Truth and ended up in a realm of hell!  Major contemplations of murder, suicide and the list goes on.  Physically attacked by demons and so on.  I had opened up doors that should've remained closed.  Today wish I had never opened them.  Needless to say I Thank God that He Literally Chased Me Down and Preserved My Life (because by all rights I should be dead) Until I Came To A Point Of Surrender And Allowed Jesus Into My Heart And Saved My Eternal Soul!  That day it literally felt like a HUGE Heavy weight had been lifted off of me!  I know for certain that my name is written in the Lambs Book Of Life, and that is only achieved by CONFESSING WITH YOUR MOUTH that Jesus Christ is Your Lord And Saviour.  There is NO other way to Heaven than that!

This is a serious question and I don't appreciate others making light of it.  First of all, the Bible is clear that being homosexual is a sin.  "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet" \n(Rom 1:26-27).  Just look at the example of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:24)!  Now, can a person be homosexual and go to heaven?  Well, if one has a sin of which is not repented, then he will perish:  "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5). This is talking about the "2nd death" which is Hell.\n\nPut simply, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind," (I Cor. 6:9).  The "abusers of themselves with mankind" is refering to homosexuals.\n\nNow, God is a just and righteous God!  He would NEVER make it to where someone was UNABLE to repent.  Therefore, homosexuals are that by choice.  They can choose to repent, and obey God faithfully, and get out of that sin.  "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Cor. 10:13).  Therefore, these that are involved in this sin are able to come out of it.  They can escape it, and repent, and become Christians, and then go to heaven!  How wonderful our God is.  The God of mercy, the just One!\n\nI hope this has helped.\nPlease e-Mail me if anyone would like a Bible study (Treytrumpet1@hotmail.com)
