No one goesto hell forbeing gay25% Voted for by Glamorous, frndofyaweh, green-eternity, jonesz12, looking4realtruth. (6 total)
As a Christian, I would like to point out; no one goes to hell because of being gay or bad or any thing like such. People will finally go to hell for, Not accepting Christ, as their Physical, saving God. Sin is a product of the curse of temptation and plagues us till we die. Good person or bad makes no difference.

God creates them, they make themselves.12% Voted for by keyman7, Glamorous, huffnpuff86.
Indeed, God made everyone. But if you are talking about the Biblical God, he did not specifically make people with a gay sexuality. No more than he made people who rebel and disobey their parents, or people who lie. But the reality of the matter is that the human race has messed up. We've all got problems we must deal with. Some of them are bad habits and others seem to be woven into our very being. The Bible indicates that homosexuality is not a natural, created thing. Rather, like all sins, it is the exact opposite. The Bible also states that God will tolerate nothing in opposition to his will forever. Therefore, if homosexuality is in opposition to God's will, it will suffer the fate that all opposition will face. The good news is that Christ came to redeem all peoples from this punishment. The call to repent and turn again to God has been said for a long time. Our futures, whether in heaven or hell, whether with God or apart from him, are in our own hands and at the mercy of our free will.

Maybe they don't really go to Hell and the writers of the Bible just got it wrong. Or they had some prejudices, just like us. Or maybe the Church added some lines into the Bible 'cause they didn't like it. I don't think God really wants gays to go to Hell, someone somewhere along the line has gotten it wrong.

No such thing as hell8% Voted for by Moonlight Serenade, mizundastoodgal.
Gay people aren't going to hell because there is no hell. I personaly belive that god is a passive God, so he doesn't help OR punish us. So there is no such thing as hell, Karma, yes. Hell, no. (So no, I don't know what happens to sinners. Just not going to hell)

Now, I agree with Humanimal onVoted for by frndofyaweh.
count number two. All men even Christian folks, will eventually, even if unintentionally, steer you wrong. The Bible says within itself; It is "the Living Word", because it has different personal messages for each individual. So for example: Jesus said; Never look to man for the truth, for he will surely fail you. This has dozens of interpretations and they all are correct, for specific situations. For instance; aman who tells truth, but from Gods guidance, may be giving council(absolute truth).

If you want a suggestion...Voted for by humanimal.
If you're going to concern yourself with anything having to do with Christianity, then look more towards what the Bible says, instead of what Christians and non-Christians say. ____________ I say that because there are two things I notice about your question. -1.) It's kind of giving all Christians credibility in actually knowing what the Bible says, which is not a good idea, AT ALL. -2.) It's betraying your your own lack of understanding of the concept of "sin", by various interpretations of it, flawed or seemingly otherwise.

Okay, All My Personal OpinionVoted for by broken4ever.
Okay well in my personal opinion religion is all talk..man wrote the bible not "God" and man will lie to make things go his or her way...its how things work..everyone has a biest opinion on everything and yes and word can be taken in differnetly say you take a sentance and you translate it into a different language-not all languages have the same words so it comes out different..German doesnt have the word `Drama` and in Spanish there are no apostrophies to show possession or anything such as that..so when the bible was translated from Hebrew there is a very good chance somethings were changed and parts of the bible are quite contradictory such as how it says that if you sin and do not ask for forgiveness you shall be banished to Hell for all eternity when you die but then if you ask for forgivness no matter what it is you've done you dont but yet if you disobey the Ten Commandments it doesnt matter it you ask for forgievness because those are the "laws"see it doesnt add up but supposedly "God" made us all in his own image and just the way he wanted to be so our freewill is still his doing according to the bible and he made us able to be persuaded by anything satanic or not so the Adam and Eve story it is all his fault we made our first sin and that his "son" had to die because of it..so since it doesnt make sense to follow it is contradictory towards life in general isnt it? so I dont think it is posible for "God" to burn his own "Children" so Hell is in a way proven to be imaginary..why would you punish someone for the flaws you put in them?? So if he created us then he created the part of us to believe or not to believe and what is right and what is wrong and the knowledge we are supposidly born with so its all contradictory...I appologize if I have offended anyone.

Can you not see past yourself?Voted for by northerner357.
Does I really need my IQ of 166 to figure this out? It is completely irrational and illogical to believe in any sort of religion. Think about it: Have you ever actually seen something spiritual? You haven't. Even if you think you might have, is it 100% clear to you? No, it is never 100% clear, 100% of the time. And then, even if you are a very spiritual person, do you possess the capability to understand other religions? Why is it that people can not be Catholic and still understand how other people worship. Einstein said, "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment, few people are capable of even creating such opinions." Are you all so blind as to follow a religion without evaluation? Are you all so blind as to think that the version of morality you have been taught is the correct one without doubt? Are you so conceited as to believe that no one else is correct in their own frame of thinking? And then comes the gay issue. Many religious-right people can not come to terms with it. They can ONLY believe what they have been taught, as they are literally only CAPABLE of believing it. In other words, they are not intelligent enough to understand another's viewpoint with equanimity, as Einstein said. Thus, perhaps you should all sit down one night and try to see yourself living in Iraq right now. Then try to understand what that would be like, and create your own respect for those people. Try to understand what it might be like to be gay, thinking outside of your own titter-tatter belief system based upon on one church, one family, and one life. Try to do as Einstein said, and perhaps even with an IQ of 100, you will come to understand.

Exactly!
The "wages" of sin is death. (Penalty is bad choice of word.) that is exactly why sin doesn't send you to hell. Sin only keeps you seperated from God; which is, finally death. The sin is still there. Sin is just covered, by the sin debt, Jesus paid for us. The sin does not directly send you to hell, it's the fact that God cannot accept you that way and death will continue to stalk you. If sin sends you to hell; then there is no reason for the great white throne "judgement"(weigh the good and bad) to occur. Those being judged will have know case to defend themselves. Thus, the judgement day would be un-needed. ----The prophets of old, did not go to heaven, they went to Sheol(side of the pit, in Hebrew. Also means: absence of God). THey(Ezekial,Moses,etc.) stayed in Sheol for hundreds of years, sleeping in limbo. When Jesus died physical on the cross; He went to hell and brought the saints out with(moses, Jeremiah, etc.). They were not in hell(Sheol) becuase of the sin, but because the debt was not paid yet(Jesus). Accept Jesus and you go to Heaven. Sin Is not directly the cause of damnation. Lack of belief about Jesus however, is the cause.frndofyaweh

Wages are earned over time
Wages of sin accumilate over your lifetime, eventually resulting in death. Penalty is immediately demanded at judgement time. That is why the Word uses "Wages" or earned over a period of time.frndofyaweh

A gay person
can be gay and not practice it and still go to Heaven. That is why an alcoholic is still an alcoholic after years of sobriety. Again I say; If sin sends you to hell, then we all will be there and no one can go to heaven.July 14, 2005

Sorry my friend but frndofyaweh is right for it does not say that in the Bible no matter how much you wish to believe it does. yes, being gay is a sin in that it goes against God but you must remember ANY sin can be forgiven. It all boils down to what you do with the cross of Christ. God hates sin but He loves the sinner. Besides, if the truth be told, one thing and one thing only will send you to hell: "rejecting Christ as Lord and Savior". Plus I got news for you, if you think that accepting Christ will make you not have to worry about sin no more then you are totally wrong. Upon accepting Christ the Bible teaches God, in the form of the H.S. comes to live in your heart to help guide and teach you. The Bibles says you are a new creature in Christ, BUT.... the flesh refuses to give up that easily. It does and will put up a very demanding fight.September 16, 2005

this implies that accepting Christ is all that is necessary, that you can do whatever you want and still go to heaven. this is a fallacy. God is said to be love and if in fact He exists (I would like to believe He does) wants us to love others and do good. I believe the way God would have it is that we are "good people" over being someone who has said the sinner's prayer and is hateful and uncaring, like so many "Christians" I have met. I have seen love from people who made no special claims as to their religion or morality. I would rather be an Athiest who loves people than a Christian who doesn't. because God is supposed to be our Creator, I believe He would have it the same way.frndofyaweh

Euphoria, you missed the point
It is the amazing love of God and Christ that compells you to improve as a believer. Although we all continue to sin until our physical death, we as believers are constantly learning and improving our relationship with Father/Abba. What it does imply is: accepting Christ is necessary, as well as, being compelled to make the Father/God proud of you. If the acceptance is real and valid; you will strive to elimate sin, more and more as you grow. Accepting Christ as a condition(to keep sinning) is called direct defiance and elimates you from being a serious believer in Christ.----- Energizer Bunny: you are very well spoken and the above is very well put!

What you said is nowhere in the Bible, and I'd like to point out that if being gay is a sin and a gay person accepts Jesus than they are FORGIVEN! Hell is for those who reject God and his Son...not for believers who weren't "good" enough. Faith saves us, not works. And secondly Hell is not a place of eternal torment. Do you think God would want to torture people in Hell? The flames are figurative, and so are the other illustrations. Hell is a horrible place to be because it is without God. I don't know where you read that gays get the worst torment but I hope that you know that it's not in the Bible.Please register or login to comment! It's totally free
