Do gay people go to heaven
You Will Go to Hell
Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals1, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9b-10.)
A professing Christian husband and father leaves his wife of thirty years for a young girl the age of his daughter. A Sunday College teacher is obsessed with his favourite sports team, going into short phrase debt to make trips all over the land to watch his team play. A college pupil heavily involved with the local collegiate ministry regularly has sexual intercourse with his girlfriend. A juvenile man attends church regularly but frequents gay bars, looking for gay men, and goes home with them. A seeming loving and well adjusted female homosexual couple, who know the Bible well, claim to love Jesus. An elder in a church regularly cheats on his income tax and steals capital from his company. A young mother who teaches children’s church constantly badgers her husband for a bigger house, a nicer car, better clothing and runs up huge credit card bills trying to satiate her covetous and idolatrous lifestyle. A pastor preaches
LGBTQ+ church bid: 'I was told being gay would send you to hell'
"As a Christian, when you've been brought up to be taught it's not OK to be male lover or to be in a same-sex relationship, but you are. You can't change how you feel."
She even tried to utilize her faith to modify who she really was because of her conditioning.
"Believe me, I've prayed and prayed and prayed to try and change how I see boys and how I see girls," she says.
"[But] I was made this way. God made me who I am."
Betty's life is intimately bound up with her religion. She works as centre manager for a Christian charity offering people support and aid to the people of Rhyl, Denbighshire, taking over from her mother who helped establish the charity out of a church during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Her personal faith and relationship with Christianity is strong - it is clear to see it permeates every aspect of her animation, and this remains the case despite some of the experiences she has had with churchgoers who disapprove of homosexuality, and have made that plain to her.
However, when she initially embarked on a relationship with a female, she went throu
A reminder for the Christmas dinner table: No, LGBTQ persons are not marked for hell.
The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also be a time of great anxiety and dispute among families. This is especially true for many families of LGBTQ persons.
A grandparent recently told me he thinks his grandson is gay. But that’s not the problem. His angst comes from the in-laws who, he says, think that “homosexuals are going straight to hell.” What if this comes up at the dinner table? What if it comes up at Christmas? The effect of these words on a new person can be profoundly wounding.
I’m a Catholic educator. Not long ago, a Catholic teenager told me that she asked about gay people during a parish religious education class. “They go to hell. It will never change,” said the teacher. And during a recent conference, I asked an LGBTQ young person in the audience, “Has an individual ever said anything to you that was hurtful?”
Not only are these responses theologically and morally incorrect, but they are also examples of the assertive rhetoric that LGBTQ persons experience as spiritual harm.
“Yes,” the student responded. “My seventh-grade religion teacher said

I know the Bible says it’s a sin, but it also says that the only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus. If a Queer person accepts Jesus but does not change his lifestyle, can he depart to Heaven? I possess a cousin who’s Gay.
—Lucy
You’ve asked a very vital question—and a very strenuous 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 open to everyone.
Your ask is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still leave to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his life, nothing can keep him out of Heaven. In John 10:28, Christ says of Christians,
“I give them unending life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand.”
So, Lucy the real question, I believe, is whether your cousin had a life-changing experience with Christ. Jesus said in Luke,
