God doesn't put anybody in hell because they sin-if that were true we would all go to hell because we all sin. If your Bible faithed then you should know it teaches that if you accept Jesus into your heart you will go to Heaven regardless of anything else that ever happens including any sins we may make. As far as not changing, sorry that happens to all of us-none of us are the people we used to be to an extent-however if God wants you to change your sexual orientation or anything else He will.
Listening to a whole lot of other people on this subject (or anything regarding your personal salvation/relationship with God) will only confuse you because you will get as many opinions as many people you ask. Just know God loves you and only he can judge you. Some people will be quick to point out things in your life they perceive as sin because it makes them feel better about the sin in theirs.
Don't get caught up in the whole victimization that political groups push for gay rights either-When any group is given special rights it ultimately makes that group of people feel segregated and alien. We are all Americans and it should be equal rights across the board for all of us-no less-no more!
Regardless of your faith,orientation,sex,color,etc.-That's the American way-Alot of people will always believe this!

Just because we are gay does not give us one way ticket to hell. Look at the so called men of religion today and politicians who preach hate against those who gay. One gives them the idea they are going to heaven? Being gay is not sin is lifestyle of our community and if we end up in "hell" we all be in good company.

I don't share your beliefs, but I do think that if you believe in god, then you'd have to believe that he made you that way, because you know you're not making a choice to be gay. Why would god make you gay, and expect you to not act on it? That would make god sadistic, wouldn't it? If the god of the bible is a loving god, then he wouldn't do that, right? There is nothing wrong with you, you're not going to hell, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Best wishes to you.

according to Christian belief, you may be going to hell. This is not because you are or have been gay, but rather that you have not repented of your sins ( including your sexual ones) and therefore are putting yourself outside of God's salvation plan. Yes all sins are equal in God's eyes , so why pick and choose which sins you want to continue? Why not repent of them all. ( P.S. repenting means "turning aside from") Jesus said " your sins are forgiven go and sin no more" not, " Your sins are forgiven, go and sin some more"

Firstly, there is neither hell nor heaven; these two are just tales the church made up...Secondly, since you believe in Jesus Christ you probably know that He accepts everyone the way the are....Don't believe what priests tell you.... Love yourself and everyone else you want, no matter if it's a man or a woman....

No honey. You're not. This is something that is said out of cruelty and ignorance. You are a blessing from God. He chose you to be in his wonderful image. Why would he send his son to hell? God sees our hearts. If he's truly there within your heart and you love him as much as he loves you, I don't think he'd send you to hell. Not the God I know. Be pure of heart. Gods sees the love because he IS love.

My Father lived a gay life until he passed... I truly believe that he is waiting on me and my brothers in heaven. So do I think that you are going to hell... NO.

no, of course not! it's the people who preach hatred and intolerance and justify that behavior by claiming to be "Christian" who are going to hell! God created and loves us all, and He makes no mistakes! If God didn't create homosexuals, there wouldn't be any!
