How am I judging him? Judgment implies a statement, a verdict. I am asking a question regarding his sins. And I have only included information regarding his statements.

A far more interesting question would be.. how did such a goofy looking vanilla idiot end up in a "stable relationship" with him:

For Lance Bass to claim being a Christian, then to engage in homosexual activity is clearly hypocrisy. The bible clearly states that "homosexuals shall not inherit the kingdom of God". Whether or not he has engaged in such behavior is not for
us to judge, but rather God. However, (as it has been observed), one can claim to be a Christian, and yet not be one at all. Many people throughout history have believed that simply because they were good people, went to church every Sunday, did a lot of good deeds in their lifetime, were baptized as a baby, etc.........
that they were Christians, when in fact, none of those things makes you a Christian. And undoubtedly, when those same people stood before God after they died, they were sent away.
into eternal punishment. That's because they never personally received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. That's the only thing that will even get you into heaven. You can be as "religious" as you want to be by your own personal efforts, but you can never attain salvation on your own. It is only through
faith in Christ that anyone can ever hope to escape Hell. Anyhow, that's all I have to say.

He didn't commit any sins. So what?--The guy is gay. Big deal. There are more pressing issues out there in the world today. If God made everybody the way he wanted, then he must have wanted people to be gay...end of story.

Give me a break- why cant someone be christian and be homosexual. I do not believe that God ever came down and said gay = sin. If you are going to quote the bible to me--please keep in mind that it is a BOOK written by MEN.

One of his sins is lying to the young fans who used to be crazy about him. Another is being gay and admitting it. Next will be molesting young boys. Another is being gay and not putting cowboy hat, longsleeved polo shirt, tight jeans, cowboy boots, and not going fishing with your fishing buddy.. that is a sin because that is what gay people do and not doing it is not being true to one's self. So it is a sin. Also Lance planning to go to space is a sin because if heaven is up there, gay people aren't allowed.. jk people.

He has not acknowledged He is a sinner needing a Saviour. He has not believed on the name of the Son of God. He has not confessed Jesus Christ Lord of His life to the glory of the Father. He also needs to believe in His heart Jesus died on the cross for His sins & rose up for His justification.
Being religious doesn't save anyone. Having Heart faith does. Salvation is the free gift of God (not by works or being good enouph), through faith (believing in heart).

He is guilty of homosexuality, as it is an abomination. But, chances are, he's also guilty of lying, stealing, hating, lust, putting something unimportant above God in importance, failing to love God with all his ability, and so on and so forth. He is no greater a sinner than you, me, or any other average-joe.
The problem is, has he repented of his sins (a requirement of being a Christian. Repentance means: acknowledging his sins, and doing his utmost best to not commit them again)? He might have repented of his childhood lies, repented of briefly hating that guy who cut him off while switching lanes, repented of making fame more important than God, and so on... but has he repented of his homosexuality? If he has not, it jeopardizes his salvation. If he has, then there's nothing for him to worry about.

Who are we to judge him do u know him personally?and you all are judging him which is a SIN! I personally believe God Cares about you really being a christian and believing he sent his only son to die for our sins. If he was taught that and he believes that then God has promised us that we will be saved. And since you do not know what exactly he believes is JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! remember you to will be judged.

Stop judging people. The Bible also says that women are nothing compared to men, it's alright to stone (to death) people and have slaves. Do you believe THAT too? Or are you like all the rest of the homophobes who take bits and pieces of the Bible and interpret it in
a way to justify your OWN prejudice..while ignoring other parts of the Bible?

Anyone can "claim" to be a Christian...Lance is just religious, not a true Christian. The Mormons claim to be Christian, yet the Jesus they worship is brother to Lucifer...not biblical at all. The Jehovah's Witness claims to be Christian yet their Jesus is Michael the Archangel...again, not biblical.
Lance will answer to God just as we all will.

Uh, only hypocritcal Christians would presume to judge another. Christ had nothing to say on the subject, so, in the name of Christ, shut the heck up and let the man live his life.
