no you cant, if God meant you to like men then he would've made you a women, dont say gay and Christian in the same sentence either.

Of course you can go to Heaven, and if anyone tells you otherwise they're wrong. It's not the sexual preference He will judge, it's acting out your desires He will judge. If you really try to abstain and you go to Him when you need help or when you fall, He will be there for you and forgive you. God will judge your sin just like He will judge mine. Your sin is not worse than any of mine. If I look at another man I'm not married too and have a sexual fantasy then I'm no better than you. (It's happened before). The good news is that God forgives all if we just ask.

Some people are saying that you can't be gay and be a christian and that you will go to hell! Well, I believe that anyone who tells someone that they are going to hell shouldn't be calling themselves christian. If there is such a thing as heaven and hell then only GOD can make that call, certainly not people. Saying you can't be gay AND christian is like saying you can't be a sinner AND be christian. EVERYONE sins whether or not you call yourself a Christian. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". People get so hung up on doing exactly what the bible says. Did GOD himself write that bible??? NO! Humans wrote it which means there is room for error. People get so hung up on following the bible that they turn it into a finger pointing contest. The important thing about being a good christian is to live a good life. Be kind to others, do good deeds, try to do your best each and everyday. If God is really a loving and forgiving God, he won't care about your sexual preference! He will care about how you lived your life and what you did for others! Don't let people tell you otherwise.

If you repented of your sins and asked Jesus to come into your heart and be your Lord and savior and believe JESUS is the Son of God who died and rose again on the third day then Yes. "For there is no condemnation for those in christ"-bible
On the other note even though you will go to heaven the bible says those that love god obey his commandments. So I would pray to God about this matter and read the bible and study the bible. Just because you have feeling for the same sex doesnt make you a bad person. I would however try not to sin. God loves you no matter what. We are all sinners saved by grace. Hope this helps.

I am a Christain myself and I support gay rights and everything, it's not a sin to be gay and I'm sure everybody breaks the rules of the bible one time or another. I feel that God wants us to be happy and live our lives the way we want to. I think we all can go to Heaven in the end, plus the bible only meant man and women because the population was so small back then, it doesn't really matter now since there's a big human population.

Yes if you do sexual acts with other gays then yes it is an abomination. If you put forth the idea that sexual acts with the same sex is anything but, disordered you are sinning. If I am a glutton and I continue in my gluttony by eating great amounts (far more than what is necessary to the point that I am huge fat) then I say to people there is nothing wrong with gluttony, I am sinning and teaching other people to sin and Scripture says you will wish you were never born with the punishment headed your way. Being a homosexual is not sin but disordered, acting on the tendencies is.

You are judged on whether you have accepted Christ into your heart or not, not on what sins you have committed. Christ came to pay for those sins. That said, "Why would you continue in a sin when you know that that very act was part of the reason Christ suffered the way He did?" We all have temptations that we struggle against, but it appears from your question that you have given up the struggle. I think you need some serious 1 on 1 with God about this. I would urge you to make sure you are on the same page with Him regarding your relationship with Him. If one of you is off base, I'm guessing it won't be Him.

I don't think that will stop you from getting into heaven.
But I do believe that it says MULTIPLE times in the bible that homosexuality is unnatural and wrong.
Sex was made for a man and a woman, not a man and a man.
But, that's not really my place to judge you, and I pray that you will make the best decision you believe God has given you!
--edit--
Also, something that I always find helpful is to ask youself (be honest!) What WOULD Jesus do?
As christians we are supposed to be "like christ", and I don't think christ was gay.
(I hope that didn't come off offensive! sorry if it did!)

I'm sorry , I mean about the christian part. God is the creator he makes no mistakes , you don't need the acceptance of the "Christians" I have yet to meet a real one .
No I am not gay but I also don't care that you are , I don't see how a man wouldn't want to lay with a woman but this isn't for me to judge.

Yes you can go to Heaven
You say you are Christian. What does that mean to you? You should learn more about Christ. Go to church and read your Bible. Christians know that in order to go to Heaven, they need to accept Jesus as their Savior and try to follow his example. Also, acknowledge your sins, ask forgiveness and repent (which means to turn from your sin - really try not to perform that sin anymore). Everyone sins and all sins are equal in the eyes of God (except denying God), but all sins can be forgiven if the sinner asks forgiveness and repents. Please pray on this.

If you claim to be a Christian then you mustve read the Bible. And the Bible categorically condemns the act of homosexuality. If you feel that you cannot live withint the confines of a natural hetero marriage, then you need to stay single and dont ever have relations with the same sex. One cannot expect to enter Heaven and not listen to what God has said.
If it makes you feel any better, I have a really bad temper and lust, and I have to be content with not killing people that make me mad or sleeping with lots of girls! We all have our challenges in life and you have available to you from God what it takes to persevere.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. -James 1:12
