Galatians 3:28?

Question

For there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave or free, male or female, in Christ we are one....if God can't see us as male or female...he cannot see us as gay or straight.

1 Corinthians 6:9 says that gays and adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God...The book of Luke says that anyone who divorces and remarries is committing adultery.

If you take the Bible literally and say that gays will not be in heaven...you will also have to say that the divorced and remarried ones will not be there either.

In addition fat people will go to hell based on the Bible...because gluttony is a sin...if you don't get thin...you don't turn your back on sin..therefore you are screwed.

What about those that speed every day and break the government laws...if you continue to do so you are committing sin and will most surely burn in the fiery pits of hell.

I am gay...I am going to heaven...God lives in my heart...and it would be blasphemous of you to claim otherwise...only God knows my heart..

and unless you claim to be God..you cannot know my heart...nor can you be the ultimate authority on scripture...

You will be surprised...if you make it to heaven...there I will be dancing down with the heavenly host of angels singing glory to God in the highest and on earth...peace good will to men.

Answer 1

All fall short of the Glory of God... what it takes is to turn from our sins in order to be forgiven... no matter what the sin, turn away from it here or you will be turned away there... we can't sin and expect God to just 'let us in' without choosing Him over the sin

when the final moment comes, it is just between each of us and God... but His decisions are definitely gonna be shocking for anyone who has been deceived..

Answer 2

Galatians 3:28 is talking about baptism. Read verse 27. Once you are baptized with water, you are in Christ. You become a Christian. God can send anyone he wants to hell for mortal sin. Homosexuality is an objective disorder. Those who don't become celibate and put God at the center of their life, burn in hell.

Answer 3

I read your "question." I know there was one in there somewhere. :-) You've pointed out quite a few examples of sin that will not allow a sinner to enter the Kingdom of God. What you've forgotten to mention is that .... in order to enter those gates one must "REPENT." (I capitalize not to yell but to emphasize.) I seem to remember Jesus saying to a woman "Go and sin no more." He didn't say "Go and I'll see you tomorrow, same road, same sin."

When one repents of a sin one does not commit that sin again ..... if that is at all possible. Is the sinner who walks into church on Sunday and asks forgiveness for robbing a bank forgiven ...... if they go out on Monday and rob yet another bank?

God can see the heart. He/she can see the repentance if it is truly there. If it is not ....... well ......... it's up to God, isn't it?

Answer 4

I'm glad to see someone really using the Bible to figure this life out! But what I see in you is the refusal to deny who you are, right? I think that's a fair statement, right. You won't comprimise who you are for words. Consider Jesus' words. "Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me." DENY who you are, what you do, what you love, your family your friends and even what is considered good for the sake of God's Word. That is a hard step. Yet the Apostles did it and that is why they are remembered. They "left all" as Peter said. When talking about marriage Paul said " I wish you were like me..." since Paul abstained from even heterosexual marital activities because he could control himself and his urges. Do not my friend try to deny God's Words though, for when you deny God's word you deny The Messiah they represent. They are perfect as He is perfect. Search out Paul's writings because he talks many time about homosexuality. It is wrong, my brother. And remember that with God all things are possible and that I don't stand over here against you, but I do want you to be full of all knowledge and wisdom of God. Peace be with you, friend.

Answer 5

I am a realist and I know that I will not be going to heaven, I don't kid myself. And I don't copy the text that makes my argument work. I know that in the last page of the bible , he says no man add or take away. I believe that you will believe what you will, but I will not lie to myself to make me feel better. If gays were okay then why did he send the angels unto Lot and tell him to get his family out of the city because god was going to destroy it.? Good Question uh ? I don't remember him ever destroy a city because it was to fat!!!!!

Answer 6

What about repenting of your sin, and seeking forgiveness daily.
I agree with anyone who divorces, which by the way under certain circumstances is allowed, remarries is committing adultery. But once you have committed that sin, should you divorce, because maybe now you understand God's Laws. I think he would want us to take what we have at the time we get saved, and build from there. Getting a divorce will not cancel out the other.
Gluttony is stated as a sin, I think that when one chooses to ignore his own health, to a point where they cannot care for themselves it is a sin. But there is a difference between what Gluttony is and not being thin. You are reaching far off base with that one.
Yes breaking the Laws of the Land, is not honoring God at all. I think that there are things that we all do daily that break all kinds of laws earthly, and heavenly. But to seek forgiveness and try to correct those things, breaking those bad habits, is what is going to make the difference. What good is is to do bad things, and ask for forgiveness. Will he not harden our own hearts, because we do not seek to change ourselves.

If you would have asked me 4 years ago, would I go to hell if I died. I would have told you in a heartbeat yes. I was not willing to change my own lifestyle, to fit where it needed to be, to being honoring God, The walk of lifestyle in no way Glorified God. Now I have been saved for over 1/2 of my life. But as a young adult, I decided to walk without his blessing and protection. Now as I have gotten older and seen where my walk was taking me, I had a lot of rethinking to do. I had a lot of things to answer up to on my own. How far had I gotten without him. What had my decisions cost me? I know now looking back what mistakes and life changing choices I have made. I have since returned to Christ. I have changed my life, in such away that anyone who knew me even for a minute noticed. It was not the easyist thing I have ever done, but it is what makes me worthy of his blessings. There are still many struggles that I face everyday, I spend more time getting to know his whole word, getting to know the whole truth. Looking at the whole book not just a verse. To learn the Bible, is more than to read it, and make it say what you want. I as a Christan face more struggles and battles than I did when I had shut my mind to it. I think that if you sought the truth, you would find more to it than you are willing to admit. Even if it means that your whole lifestyle and the choices that you make will lead you on one way street to hell. It is what I have had to do, with all aspects of my own life. While you may say only God knows your heart, it should be reflected in all walks of your life, in all that you do. Just something to think about. As always seek to know the truth, and may God be with you, for no matter what, WE ALL do wright & wrong, non of us are without sin, we are all his children, he loves us all and Forgives us all, but we must seek the truth, to do so.

Answer 7

It's true, no man can judge your heart, only God can do that. Instead of trying to convince everyone else that homosexuality is not a sin, perhaps you should just get as close to God as you can and let Him let you know if there is a battle here He needs to fight. He will defend His own, although it's not always in the manner we envision it.

Answer 8

No sinner will be in heaven. If that was the end of the story, then the Son if God could have stayed in heaven and let us all die. But that's not what happened.

This is a proof in text of that:
14"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. "

If you are saved then we are brothers!

Answer 9

OK Starting with Galatians 3:28..... This is not to be taken literally Paul is simply saying that God wants us and is going to view us as one body and that one body is of Christ. Now as for our phyiscal body he absolutley knows that we are male or female... gay or straight, he knows us better then we know ourselves! Galatians 3:28 is talking more so about spirtually speaking because when Paul wrote this to the church they were all fighting with each other and trying to justify themselves or make themselves better then another group of people. So again part of this is Paul saying "common guys stop fighting Christ has made us one, we are in unity and toghether we need to act as a body of Christ"

NOW... 1 Corinthians 6:9 says that gays and adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God...The book of Luke says that anyone who divorces and remarries is committing adultery.


Your right, they won't ever get to heaven, and do you know if you even look at a women with lust you have commited adultery in your heart with her! # (Matthew 5:28).

So we know no gay or re-married person can go to heaven... neither can liars or thieves or people who use God's name as a curse word. That is because God is sinless and we are sinful because we have commited sin.

SO that is why God sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you so that if you trust in him your sins are wiped clean and you are sinless in God's eyes.

I would like to see the passage about fat people please.

Also if you are a gay you might not be saved, you migth not truley have turned your back on sin. (1 John 1: 5- 7) Sure we all sin everyday but as a christian you need to let the sinning be less and less each day with God's help. Because sure we are all still sinners but we have repented and turned our backs to sin, you seem to be still living in sin by being gay.

Now God did not make you gay, who knows why people turn out that way but I know people who have stopped being gay with God's help, it was hard and it was taken day by day, but I have stopped getting angry (a natural feeling) day by day with God's help. I dont simply live in the anger or in the lusting of women (although I do stumble) day by day I get better

after all the bible says it is better to rip off whatever part of your body that causes you to sin because entering heaven without would be better then hell with it... now this obviously does not mean go cut off your arm but it means to full on remove yourself from porn, anger, crime, drugs.. what ever is bringing you away from Christ

hope this all helps, and if you seem to be struggling with homosexuallity I would ask your pastor, get help but your right only God knows your heart and hopefully you really did repent and turn from your sin because I care about you and your soul.. I will be praying for you
