Christians with bible knowldege ?

Question

If one was once a born again evangelical Christian and walked away from God and, let's say for arguments sake, became a homosexual. Would you still go to heaven? Please provide bible verses.

and are living in that lifestyle now.

Answer 1

Becoming a homosexual is just walking in a course of sin. It's no better and no worse than lying all the time, never praying/spending time with God, murdering, disobeying God.

If a Christian eventually became a homosexual, I would assume they also abandoned their belief in God. This is indeed very hypothetical, as I never met a born again Christian that completely abandoned thier faith.

Anyway, the word says that when you backslide, all you do to get back with God is repent--tell God you know that you're wrong, and let him have his will in your life.

It's hard to make a distinguishment between heaven and hell for that kind of situation, I'm not the judge. You should ask God on that one.

Again, a lot goes into that kind of situation. If a person becomes a homosexual after having a real relationship with God, something had to have gone horribly wrong.. Salvation is a condition of the heart, not of what you appear to be on the outside.

Answer 2

John 10: 27-30

Answer 3

Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death."

1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals"

1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers"

Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

Answer 4

I believe that once a person exercises saving faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is forever in the family of God. God never kicks anyone our of his forever family. A number of Scripture passages support this view. For example, in 1 Corinthians 12:13 we are told that at the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ. Once we are infused into the body of Christ, we are never excised from the body. In fact, Ephesians 1:12 and 4:30 indicate that at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, we are permanently "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. At that point, we are God's everlasting property. That seal guarantees that we'll make it to heaven.
Moreover, we read in John 10:28-30 that it is the Father's purpose to keep us secure despite anything that might happen once we have trusted in Christ. Nothing can snatch us out of His hands. God's plans cannot be thwarted (Isaiah 14:24). Further, Romans 8:29-30 portrays an unbroken chain that spans from the predestination of believers to their glorification in heaven.
Another fact we need to keep in mind is that Christ regularly prays for each Christian (Hewbews 7:25). With Jesus interceding for us, we are sucure. (His prayers are always answered!)
Of course, the fact that a believer is secure in his salvation does not mean he is free to sin. If the Christian sins and remains in that sin, Scripture says that God will discipline him or her just as a father disciplines his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11).

Answer 5

Yes They would still go to heaven. read the parable of the prodigal son. It tells us in no uncertain terms that God is unconditionally loving. It is not a story of forgiveness like you have been told. Read what it says your self.

The father never judges the son in any way so no forgiveness is called for.

Every one goes to heaven except in the silly little dream of superiority that exists no where but in the religious mind.

Answer 6

This is a highly debated topic within the realm of Chistendom. Some say yes and others say no. I say that if one were to profess a belief in Christ and be a Christian but fall away, it is possible that that person never really and truly gave their whole life to Christ in the first place. So there inital confession would have to be questioned.

But if in fact they did give their life to Christ and sincerely did, but because the pull of sin is so great, it is possible to fall back. In this situation I believe that their salvation is not lost.

Heb 6:4-6
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

If you have once given your life to Christ, it is impossible to give your life to Christ again. You can only accept him once. You cannot accept him again and again and again, because once you are in the hands of Christ he never lets go. You might fall away, but Christ does not. If you fall away and then come back and think that you can accept him again, you cannot, because you already accepted him in the first place. Just confess your sins.

If you don't come back to a full relationship with Christ then you will still go to heaven, but the level of reward will be diminished.

1Corinthians 3:13
His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is bunred up, he will suffer loss, he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping throug the flames.

The key phrase is "he himself will be saved." So if the person did give his life initially to Christ, he/she will be saved.

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 7

There is going to come a time when we all will have our judgment day. Then God and only God will decide if we will go with him or not. Only God can tell you if in that situation you would go to heaven. I think God wants us to be true to ourselves, he wants us to lead healthy and happy lives, as long as you know where you stand with God don't worry what others say, you know what is true and right, God will show you where you need to be as long as you let him. Bless you.

Answer 8

I do not believe homosexuals will be kept out of heaven (as it were). We are all children of God and as such will all return to God when it is our time.
Now about walking away from God.. this may be.. but my dear God has never walked away from you.
Just because one becomes a homosexual does not mean you walked away from God.. Maybe it felt like it, but I promise you were never far.

Answer 9

John 14:5-7 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.

No man comes to the FATHER (aka God) Except by the grace of Jesus's shed blood. If you leave Jesus.....you leave the Father...and the FATHER is in heaven!

Answer 10

Not without true repentance. That person must turn away from this thing and return to CHRIST. No I do not believe that this person can get into Heaven without turning away from homosexuality.
