What do you think will happen to me when I die? (Christian's only please)?

Question

I've spent a lot of my life trying to help people, to get close to people, and to make them happy when they're down.

Most of my attempts have met with utter failure, so absolute that I've come to a point where I honestly just don't care about people too much anymore. I'll always be willing to help them but I'm tired of going out of my way just to be met w/ anger and fear.

I'm also gay (but in the closet) and though its something that I've fought with for the longest time, I've learned to accept it and I choose not to make an effort to change what I feel is a natural compulsion (the attraction was always there I just didn't really feel it until after puberty).

I choose to remain "a sinner" in these two respects and I am not ashamed of either of them.

Every other sin I do my best to repent for and I'm still to many people "the nicest guy in the world".

So, if I choose not to repent for these two sins, will I go to hell, or will my other good deeds outweigh them?

Answer 1

God knows your heart, you sound like a good person....God not not hate you or think you are unworthy because you are gay. God loves us - all
If you believe in God and try to be kind to everyone - even when you are disappointed in the human race - you will be rewarded in heaven!

Answer 2

James 1:3-Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

It's good you try to help people with their lives, but dont be discouraged becuase you run into more failure than success let it encourage you to pray harder and improve your methods.

2. If you've read the Bible at all, then you know that homosexuality is not condoned. It's considered nasty,detestable,abominable, and NOT NATURAL. If you spend enough time to take not of the world around you, then you would notice that everything is some form or another is made up of oppisites. A baby does not come from two men or two women but from the union of a man and a woman. Electricity happens when a negative electron and a positive proton join together and so on and so on.... you would be making a big mistake to think for one moment that being gay is natural. Life is natural; and homosexuality is anti-life.

So if you believe in Jesus, then I recommend you engage in some faith, prayer and patience and ask God to give you some wisdom and guidence.

Answer 3

I am sorry you feel that way. Do not give up on people, though, because we're not all bad. I get discouraged dealing with people sometimes too because it can make you feel unappreciated, but don't give up. A simple good deed or a smile can go a long way for someone who is down. I can't tell you where you will go, because I myself do not always know what to believe, but I think if you are a good person your soul will be rewarded for the good things you have done. I believe if God is supposed to be an all-loving entity then your sexual preference should not matter. It's not what makes you YOU. The things you do are what makes you YOU. So keep your chin up and try not to dwell on these matters too much because there is nothing you can do either way, right? Keep doing what you do! Good luck

Answer 4

From a non-philosophical view (Christian or in any other case) the frame is relatively robust while it's demise. Chemicals are published during the frame to support it deal with any soreness or trauma, similar to endorphines. Systems start to close down, awareness fades, and you're none the wiser. For all you recognize, the equal factor occurs while you cross in for surgical procedure and are given an anesthetic. What makes us human is our capability to admire our possess awareness and lifestyles. With that being absent, we're not anything greater than veggies. On a brighter be aware nonetheless, I have come to the realization that the universe has a specified stability and hierarchy. Energy with ease does no longer disappear, so I firmly suppose it ought to cross someplace. It does no longer keep trapped within lifeless tissue. All we ought to realize is that if there's a auto in the market that may seize it, and re-animate our awareness. That too might be the name of the game to everlasting lifestyles.

Answer 5

I'm sorry you have had such a bad time of trying to be a friend to people in your life. It sounds as if you have some remorse and sadness in your own life. You say you choose to remain a sinner in two respects and are not ashamed of either of them. Have these choices led to happiness in you life? Do they usually end in happy endings? Rethink your choices and see if they really are the best ones for you. No one can say what will happen to you when you die, but you can be certain that God knows your heart.
As far as your choices go you will either be resurrected to life or not. To help your understanding of what hell really is I have included some web sites for you to check out. Even heterosexual people have trouble in relationships. The most important relationship you can have is the one with your heavenly father and it is imperative that you do not leave it to chance. It means your very life. You should try to understand how he feels about your lifestyle and make every effort to live up to his standards. You can do it others have before you.

Answer 6

Good deeds are worth nothing, being a good person is worth nothing when it comes to what happens when you die. Everyone falls short and can not enter heaven short of asking Jesus Christ into their hearts.

I don't think you can give up on trying not to sin if you are a Christian, we all fall short but we should not stop trying to follow Christ.

I think you are more than a little confused and you are following what society say instead of what God says. You have that choice, but don't think christian will accept a sinful lifestyle because God will not accept it.

I hope this does not offend you, that is not my purpose. I sometime receive warnings from yahoo because I tell the truth. I will pray that you find your way back to God, he is still there for you and still loves you.

God Bless...

Answer 7

Depending on what is transpiring when you die you will either be taken to one side of 'the gulf' to await the white throne judgment (pretribulation) or you will be taken directly to the white throne judgment (post Armageddon).

The white linen you will be wearing is your good deeds in this life, so trying to help people and make them happy will go far towards clothing you in the hereafter.

Being gay does not doom you at the white throne judgment, much to the disappointment of some of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters in Christ. I too am a sinner and all we can do is repent of our sins and try to do better.

There is but one 'unforgivable sin.'

This is to be one of God's Elect and blaspheme the Holy Spirit when brought before the synagogue of Satan during the tribulation.

All other sins are forgivable.

It is not my place to judge you for any aspect of your existence, be it lifestyle, deeds, or mindset.

Just know that if you ask for forgiveness in the name of Yeshua the Christ you will receive it because he became the sacrificial lamb for all of us and absolutely none of us are without sin.

No, you are not doomed to hell. Not by a long shot.

Answer 8

A sin is a sin. God does not have a "sin point system" where one sin will outweigh another sin.

I do feel you. I continue to act out with a clear knowledge that it is unacceptable to God.

The God I serves...allows me to "mess-up"....and He also wants me to learn to stop messing up.

We are commanded to help our fellow brother. I have a sister-in-law who I love to death...but she just don't get what I am trying to do for her. But that's my fault. I put these expectations on her. I would do this and that for her when no one else would...and in return I would expect for her to change her ways. This is probably what happened to you.

Now I do very little for her....I won't help her unless she complies first...vs. me giving and expecting.

For example...before she can ask me for money...she must clean up her parents house...or do something rewarding.

The gay issue: I am not gay...however, I am curious....but not that curious to seek it out. I have gay friends and I am quite fond of them. There lifestyle is a choice that all americans have.

God truly frowns on the gay lifestyle....He calls it an ambominaiton.

All your good may not count as good....I could give a person money...however, in myheart did I want to give that person money. If yes, then and only then will God conider it a good deed.

Answer 9

"God made me to be a homosexual, so He doesn’t want me to change."

Homosexuals argue that they did not make a conscious decision to be that way, so it must be natural. They are born that way—just as all of us are born with a sin nature and sinful desires (Ephesians 2:1– ). Tell them that it is natural for them, and for all of us, to be tempted to do things that God says are wrong. In the same way, pedophiles and adulterers (alcoholics, drug addicts, etc.) don’t make a conscious decision to "choose" that self-destructive lifestyle, they simply give in to their sinful desires. However, although sin is natural for unbelievers, that doesn’t mean God wants them to remain that way. God can set them free from their sinful nature (Romans 7:23–8:2), give them new desires (Ephesians 4:22–24), and help them withstand temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). See 1 Corinthians 6:9– 1 footnote.

"God made me like this. Sin is His fault!"

If this won’t work in a civil court, it certainly won’t work on Judgment Day. Even with an expert defense lawyer, it would take a pretty inept judge to fall for the old "God made me do it" defense. We are responsible moral agents. The "buck" stopped at Adam. He tried to blame both God and Eve for his sin; Eve blamed the serpent. It is human nature to try, but it doesn’t work with God.

Answer 10

When you repent you acknowledge that you have sin then you are showing how sincere you are in wanting to be like your Father.

Good deeds do not bring you to heaven, so much of us do not know that.

You know what brings you to your Father is acknowledging and believing he is God and Son Jesus Christ.

Question: How do you get to Heaven?

Answer: Through Jesus Christ the Son of God!
