With Christ all things are made new old things are passed away. Once these people TRULY ACCEPT CHRIST they will turn away from homosexuality. If they do not then they did not get saved, they only had an emotional experience .
To the person who wanted to know about Homosexuals in the BIBLE read; Lev. 18:22, Lev. 20;13 and Romans 1: 26,27.

Anyone who asks Jesus to forgive their sins and save them will be saved. I don't really think that someone could remain homosexual if they've experienced true repentance. When you're saved, you are a new person- the Holy Spirit convicts you of what needs to be changed in your life.


Isn't it funny to see how many thumbs down Christians get when they tell the truth, quoting Biblical scripture? They haven't insulted anyone or tried to make people think that they're better than them, they've simply stated what the Bible teaches. I guess the truth hurts, huh?

Yes, if a homosexual accepts Christ as their savior they will go to heaven.....because we come to Christ as we are .....and then the Lord shows us how to change .........and usually a homosexual knows he is doing wrong in the eyes of the Lord to even want to accept the Lord.

Christians live by the Word. Anyone who accepts Christ will go the Heaven, but in order to be perfected in Christ you must die to your sins. So you must strive hard to deny your srtonghold. Homosexuality is an abomination before God

The biggest myth of our religious history is that God considers all homosexuality a sin. The original Bible text said no such thing. However, in 1611 when the Bible was translated into English for the first time, the selfish religious leaders put pressure on the translators to re-word the original text. The original text read something like "a married man should not spend sexual time with another man because it would cause disharmony with his wife.

If you have a Jewish friend, have him read you the original Hebbrew text.

Why did these religious leaders deliberately change the Bible? Answer: To grow their empire they encouraged their members to propogate large families so that their children would join and grow that particular religious empire. They discouraged/ condemned homosexuality because it would yield no new members, no new children to be brainwashed.

Now to your question:

The answer is in this question:

If a left handed person accepts Christ as their savior do they go to Heaven?

By the way, the original Bible text did not emphasize Jesus as the mediator and the Savior as a magic potion for salvation.

Proof: Jesus spent his career, from baptism to crucifixion giving us his message (God's message), and condemning anyone who wanted to worship him or consider him a leader.

As he stated and emphasized it wasn't who he was, it was his message that would save your soul.

Now, religious leaders want you to worship Jesus so that after a while you will worship them, the selfish egotistically rich religious leaders.

If you want to respect Jesus, then read it like his life emphasized, Everytime you see Jesus name in the English version substitute or think "Jesus' message".

I know, I know, I too was raised to believe Jesus saved our soul, but Jesus himself in the original Bible text, emphasized that his message, if we headed it, would save our souls.

Listen to Jesus, not the Pope or other rich egotistical religious leaders.

Sorry for the long response.

Yes! Christ died for all of us, we are all sinners. Eventually the homosexual will be convicted by the Holy Spirit for his/her sin. They must change to grow in their Christianity or they may face judgement day being ashamed. Remember the story of the wheat and the tares. The tares are weeds that look exactly like wheat, when they harvest the wheat, it's hard to tell the difference. Jesus said just to let them alone. He knows the difference. This is a story of people who appear to be Christians but they are not. They are pretending. Jesus knows who His people are.

The Bible does say that homosexuality is wrong, but it also says that lieing, adultery, fornication, idolatry, using the Lords name in vain, drunkenness and not loving the Lord with all your mind and soul is wrong too. We are all sinners, there is none righteousness not one. While we can't judge their heart, we don't have to go along with it either. We (ourselves) must hold close to what the Bible says. Jesus died for all of our sins, past, present and future. We are to come to him as we are. Change is immanent once we are a follower of Christ.

God Bless

yes of course, anyone reguadrless of their sin can be saved and go to Heaven. The Bible says every sin is wrong, but Christ paid the price for all of them.

The well-known Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals God’s feelings about homosexuality. God declared: “The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah, yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.” (Genesis 18:20) The extent of their sinful depravity at that time was apparent when two guests visited the righteous man Lot. “The men of Sodom . . . surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: ‘Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.’” (Genesis 19:4, 5) The Bible says: “The men of Sodom were bad and were gross sinners against Jehovah.”—Genesis 13:13.

The men became “violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males.” (Romans 1:27) They had “gone out after flesh for unnatural use.” (Jude 7) In countries where homosexual rights campaigns are pervasive, some may object to using the word “unnatural” to describe homosexual behavior. However, is not God the final arbiter when it comes to nature? He commanded his ancient people: “You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”—Leviticus 18:22.

The Bible is clear: God does not approve of or condone homosexual practices. He also disapproves of people who “consent with those practicing them.” (Romans 1:32) And “marriage” cannot give homosexuality a cloak of respectability. God’s direction that “marriage be honorable among all” precludes homosexual unions, which he considers detestable.—Hebrews 13:4.

Still, with God’s help, anyone can learn to “abstain from fornication,” which includes homosexual acts, and “get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4)

It is a mistake to believe that once we have accepted Christ as our savior, we are saved and can have the attitude “I can do whatever I want”. The phrase “Once saved always saved” is a mistaken view by many and is dangerous. The Bible is clear when is comes to condemnation of the practice of sin, and Jesus sacrifice allows us to be free of the sin inherited from Adam. However, Heb. 10:26,27 states “For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition.”

Turning to the Bible book of Zephaniah, chapter 2, verses 2 and 3, we read what Jehovah requires for salvation: “Before there comes upon you people the burning anger of Jehovah, before there comes upon you the day of Jehovah’s anger, seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.” Note the word “probably.” It is not a case of once saved, always saved. Our concealment in that day depends on our CONTINUING to do those three things. We must seek Jehovah, seek righteousness, and seek meekness. Certainly a practicer of homosexuality would not be a seeker of righteousness as it is a practice He finds detestable.

practicing homosexuality is wrong, just like practicing fornication is wrong. Be who you are, but do not have sex with men (or anyone for that marriage). REMEMBER THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND DO NOT EVERRRRRRRRR LET ANY RELIGIOUS ZEALOT TELL YOU OTHERWISE! God hates the sin of homosexuality, but not you. I love you in Christ my friend,
