they well know from the Bible that God doesn't forgive all sins, consider When the sacred Ark was brought up from Beth-shemesh after its disastrous seven-month sojourn among the Philistines, it was deposited in the home of Abinadab, and his son Eleazar was sanctified to guard it. Here in this home the Ark remained for some 70 years, until David arranged to transfer it to Jerusalem. During the transfer another of Abinadab’s sons, Uzzah, dropped dead in his tracks when Jehovah’s anger blazed against him, because of his touching the Ark in disregard of the command at Numbers 4:15.—1Sa 6:20–7:1; 2Sa 6:1-7; 1Ch 13:6-10.
(Hebrews 10:26) 26 For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left. . .

Jesus Christ did not found the Christian congregation to attack anyone, but to preach the "good news" of the Kingdom. The bible's judgment message is not against just one particular form of sin, and it would be a mistake to pretend otherwise.
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations
(Luke 9:6) They went through the territory from village to village, declaring the good news
(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
(Matthew 13:49) In the conclusion of the system of things: the angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous
Note that it is not humans but angels who primarily perform the separating work. Of course, only Jesus and Jehovah make the final judgment regarding each individual.
(John 12:48-49) The word that I [Jesus] have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; 49 because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment
(John 8:16) if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me
(Matthew 12:36) They will render an account concerning it on Judgment Day
(John 5:22,27-30) [The Father] has committed all the judging to the Son... 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out... I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
(Acts 17:30-31) God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. 31 Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man [Jesus] whom he has appointed

Neither of those 2 scriptures has anything to do with your comments of homosexuality. The New Testament says all sins are forgiven except blasphemy of the Holy spirit and there is much debate over what that exactly is.
Being gay is no where near blasphemy against the Holy spirit.
I remember when Jeffery Daumer died in prison had just repented and became a Christian, but many so called Christians today declare he is in hell, but if the bible is true he is in heaven.
Even Hitler, or Charles Manson if they were to repent and follow the Bible version of becoming a christian, they would be in heaven.
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you need to learn how to study the bible and learn how to quote scripture in context.

My friend, If you are saying that for every action there is a reaction, I can accept that. I do see your complaint and do understand your position.
I do have one thought. This Q&A is open to everyone so why not let everyone who desires to ask a question, do so. I do that and I would never try to stop someone by first judgment on them or about what they do. I was not appointed to be a judge before and I am not now one. Why not let each do what they want in their acts and/or actions and then let them be the one to accept the reactions or consequences.
My bierw is I do not want to set the standards in the creation I did not create.
Do gave a good day and smile OK

Gays practice homosexuality no more "willingly" than you may practice heterosexuality! Can you be "willing" in something you are BORN with!?!
As for homosexuals, remember, even in that type of relationship, there is always a "male" and a "female", and in spiritual terms, nothing much is different.
Thank goodness Canada allows gays to marry! I'm much more touched by the love of a truly committed gay couple that embrace marriage and the love between each other than a heterosexual couple who profanes marriage by getting married for the wrong reasons, not loving each other, abusing each other and divorcing each other.
Yes, I'm a proud Christian, but I also proudly support and love gay people too. They have every right to be equal, happy and loved, God does the same since they are His children as much as you are!!!

we unquestionably know what to do approximately starving babies: Feed them. possibly this is why. greater suitable capacity for harm? It strikes me as an incongruent question, incredibly. The starvation of babies comes from countless components and that's not actual addressed. There are national borders, political powers and financial components outdoors of our sphere of impact. The homosexuality element is invading our sphere of impact.

I see NO question here, but no where does the Bible say that sexual immorality is unforgivable. Wrong? Yes, but someone can decide to change their course and follow a Christian life.

God does not hate homosexuals. He hates the sin. If someone who is fat, loses the weight and doesn't gain it back, they have repented from the sin of gluttony.
In the same way, a homosexual, can turn from that lifestyle and be forgiven...All of us have a sin that controls our thoughts if we let it. The thing to do is to resist the devil when he tempts you with this and he will flee from you.
All of you who read this, have heard that is a sin...if you choose to ignore God, that is your right. If I was in your place,,I would want to find out for myself if I really had to worry about Judgment Day. It is not a joke as so many of you try to make it. And your homosexual friends will not be there with you when you stand eye to eye with the God who made you and try to explain to him, why, although you knew his word, you ignored it...it will too late. Think.

Boy way to quote made up stories. i hope it makes you feel good about your homophobia. You seem like a typical self hating closet case. Maybe you should try kissing a boy. you sound like you would like it.
Now you can read while I quote Spider-man for no reason
Kraven said "Everyman has a demon. I am proud to say you were mine. They said my mother was...."BANG shoots himself in the head.
