Will a gay person go to heaven?

As a gay man and Christian I was told by alot of people that homosexuals will not go to heaven but will go to hell instead. I know that alot of older people believe this and I think that is not true because god love everyone. He would not make homosexuals unless there is a chance of them going to heaven. My question is where (book and chapters) does it say that homosexuals will go to hell or where (book and chapter again) does it said that they will not or does it not say neither?

I also agree that homosexuality is not a sin, but that promiscuity, may not be a wise course, or lifestyle, and that has nothing to do with what gender we prefer.

Nicole82 disagrees: it is a sin;its in the bible Sodom and Gomorrah
boredINmind : Totally in sync with you on this one. Sin is in the eye of the beholder, and religion is obviously something that should not be used to judge someone. Judging, in the Biblem is defined as a sin.
addaddadd agrees: good judge, Homosexual is not a sin. no part of the bible saying it is a sin

Scott,

In regards to Father Chuck, that is his name due to the fact he is of the clergy and is to be respected by referring to him in that way. You are not aware of Father Chuck's background, and perhaps it would have been best to ask Fr. Chuck, who I respect immenseley.

I am of the Catholic faith, and we do indeed call our priest, "Father".

As you say, the bible was written by man and we all are fallable.

As you say, the bible was written by man, known to error.

Edit: Here is the Catholic's repsonse to the utilization of the title "Father".

Call No Man "Father"?

Dear Brian,
homosexuals is not against God it is a part of God Creation. God does not stop creating in Genesis He Continue to create the bible says" But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." (John5:17) God continue to work and one of His work is Homosexual. Lets read it to bible, Exodo 4:11 "and the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?" If God created the deaf, even the homasexual created by God.

Its a sin; the bible story Sodom and Gomorrah. Ask GOD for wisdom knowledge and understanding. Being deaf dumb or blind isnt a sin. GOD loves us all but no sin will enter The Kingdom of Heaven

Comments on this post
scottyv disagrees: That is the best answer you can come up with? Sodom and Gammorah, really? You do realize we live in the 21st century right? Wow!
inthebox agrees: correct. Love and sin cannot coexist.
boredINmind : Maybe you should do a refresher on the Bible.

God made man. Man, Adam, made a free choice to rebel against God and sin.
We are all sinners, straight or gay.

Where does it say that in your bible? Just curious. I thought your bible addressed sinful conduct, and behavior, but being gay doesn't have to involve either, does it? I ask again, didn't God create homosexuals, when he created all men?

Homosexuality is against the law of god.

However, so is eating pigs, having a bank account, cutting your hair and doing any work on saturday.

Jesus came to fulfill the law, that phase of existance is over, and it is up to Jesus who goes to heaven or not... and Jesus has promised that if anyone asks him to come into their life, he will.

scottyv disagrees: It is not the law of God unless you accept the bible as Gods law. SInce man wrote the bible it is the law of man.

But homosexuality is not just an old testament law it is also said to be an abomination in the New Testament.

scottyv disagrees: It is not a law in the Hebrew scriptures not the N.T. They represent cultural norms and values. Laws are different and very specific.
