(Letter)

I know the Bible says it’s a sin, but it also says that the only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus. If a Gay person accepts Jesus but does not change his lifestyle, can he go to Heaven? I have a cousin who’s Gay.

You’ve asked a very key question—and a very hard one.

And you are exactly right: there is only one sin that is unforgivable. That is the sin of not believing and not receiving Jesus Christ into your life.

A gay or homosexual person can acceptChrist, just as an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a mass-murderer can approve Christ. Jesus’ offer of salvation is open to everyone.

Your interrogate is whether someone can acceptChrist, not change his lifestyle, and still go to heaven. The Bible teaches that if someone has truly accepted Christ into his life, nothing can verb him out of Heaven. In John , Christ says of Christians,

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand.”

So, Lucy the real question, I accept, is whether

What Does the Bible Tell About Homosexuality?

What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality?

Introduction

For the last two decades, Pew Research Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible say about attraction to someone of the same sex?”

Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the term homosexual wasn't even coined until the late 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.

Before we can jump into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a brief but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.

This I Believe: Gay Forever, Hell For Never

You’re going to hell. Yes, you, the young male wearing the adj shirt, scarf, and skinny jeans. Yes, you, the student tutor with a GPA, who aspires to have a family, who has goals for your life and a career in mind and who was baptized in a Southern Baptist church? none of that matters when the TRUTH is that you aren’t natural and neither are your actions.  

The previous paragraph is what much of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender) community hears on a daily basis from “Christians” everywhere. As a young gay man, I have learned to hide it in front of “those” people; the ones who I know will condemn me for wearing eyeliner in adj or holding my boyfriend’s hand. I have quickly learned that in their eyes it doesn’t matter what kind of dwelling I was raised in, what kind of childhood I had, or how many scriptures I memorized between the ages of five and twelve. None of it matters as long as I want to live happily ever after with my handsome prince instead of the stereotypical and “normal” princess that

ALEXANDRIA, Tenn. (BP) &#; &#;Why doesn&#;t God love gays?&#; a teenager asked during our youth ministry time the other night.

It was sort of out of the blue since the discussion was on the return of Jesus, but clearly it was on the heart of at least one, if not many, of the teens there that nighttime. I appreciate this teen&#;s boldness to ask!

It&#;s a question this generation has had to wrestle with that previous generations did not. In fact, the speed with which the topic of homosexuality has come to dominate the social and political conversation is staggering, aided by what pastor Voddie Baucham described as &#;a coordinated, well-funded, well-connected propaganda strategy&#; in a article at The Gospel Coalition.

The movement has become like a snowflake that turns into an avalanche, demolishing any opposition in the adj arena, and it&#;s still growing.

Without a doubt, many young people are confused. They&#;re hearing in pop culture and maybe even in their schools that homosexuality is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle that not only should be tolerated but celebrated and
