Gays 'will never go to heaven'

reply to post by TarzanBeta


Well stated...

Respect is how people treat others in the same regard as they (the person handing it out) expect to receive. Regardless of whether or not it is received in the same amount/manner; the "giver" knows that he gave what he felt he deserved in return. (kind of a selfish circle but it works for me)

I have no thoughts on who gets to go to heaven/hell. God/Higher Power/WhoEver picks who He/She see's fit. I'd hate to be in Their shoes especially if the boat only holds 1000 people and you have 6 billion to chose from!!

Good to know that someone else gets it. Indeed ...God chooses who are His..not we. God chooses who gets into heaven and for His purposes..not ours.

Also ..one can give respect, civility, decency...but it does not mean it will be returned. This is how we know to separate from such.

Well stated Just Listening...well stated,

Thanks,

I can't be the only one who sees the irony of a man in a dress telling us gay and trans-people won't be going to heaven

Karl,

This is actually comical..yet at the same time very serious and sad. I do not think many understand what it is that they are proposing here.
No amount of cartoon humor can hide what is known by those who can think outside the box of what many today consider intelligence and sophistication.

The natural intellectual tendency of men..natural men... is to define themselves by their sexuality. To glory in their sexuality.

All of the categories you post there are marks of the ancient pagan religions and glorying in mans humanity by sacrificing to pagan gods.

There is no such instruction ..Olde or New Testament to glory in our humanity..in such a manner. In the flesh.

What is very interesting to me is that Science..particularly the social sciences are today quietly and by subtilty advocating a shift back to these ancient pagan dogmas and practices under the guise of glorifying man and man's human traits.
These dogmas are also by subtilty being used and channeled to support a new class of emotional voters who can be predicted in the manner in which they will vote. In other words this new social scientific shift is being used and channeled to serve the body politic...no matter what effect on the general public.

Science is now being hijacked to support humanity by supporting the body politic..through social engineering. Science here is not independent but instead dependent on government largess/favor. They will deliver the product required and paid for by the masters of science...the body politic.
The average American has no concept of this but sits at what they think is safety behind their steering wheels and television sets. They do not see science as a tool in the return to the pagan practices/dogmas/ and religions.
But I do..most definitely.

Do not misunderstand me here. I am not against science. For science has put us in better clothes, better houses, better medicine, better cars...et al.
What science has "not" done for most of us is make us better, more intelligent, more civilized peoples.

It has with the aid,financing, and seduction of the body politic...made us better consumers.
Consumers who tend to define ourselves by our flesh...what we consume..not how well we think or know for ourselves. What we have on the outside..not what we know or are on the inside. And open sexuality is a sign of a better consumer defining themselves by thier outside..their flesh. By pagan dogma and practice. Exactly as did many of the ancient civilizations.

I do not believe that science will ever be able to solve this dilemma as long as science is tied like a parasite to the body politic for funding. It will be crippled by the religion of politics...which is occult..concealed..and esoteric religion.
The religion of politics is in short...pagan.
And if science persists in attaching itself to the body politic for funding...it too will become pagan...and religious in nature. It is inescapable.

Thanks,
Orangetom

This might sound like a silly question...

But how exactly is it HEAVEN for a Gay person if they disallow Anal Sex when you get there anyway?



Being silly but it's also a serious question, if your Gay that wouldn't exactly be your idea of "heaven" now would it?

Maybe One Man's Heaven really is another Man's Hell

So by the nature of it... if you wanted to punish a gay person.... you would send them to heaven no?

HOMOSEXUALS and transsexuals "will never enter the kingdom of heaven", a leading Roman Catholic cardinal said overnight.

Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan said that while the Church regarded homosexuality as an "insult to God", this did not justify discrimination against gay and transsexual people.

(visit the link for the full news article)

silly pope, god made them why would he do that... i suppose now it is to be argued that gays are a result of the devil.

Bull#, i say. sorry .

[OP] Gays 'will never go to heaven'

These old dinosaurs, when will they ever wake up to the real world and realise how silly they are?

In re: OP,

As a smoker, I have to admit that I am doing damage to my body; the human body... which is oft referred to (in general) in faith as 'God's Temple'. In a sense this is a sin and as much as I do believe in God, I continue to smoke... rather unrepentantly at that.

So, assuming for a moment that homosexuality is indeed a sin, then the question becomes: Will all smokers, all gays... and beyond that, all those who gamble, drink, cuss, look upon others with sexual desires of any form... will they (or we) go to hell?

I tend to think that God is far more understanding of the human condition than we humans ourselves are. And while I am no authority on what will finally be the the end of us all, I have a tough time thinking of God being as narrow minded as mankind.

I think that a lot of it has to do with what is in the heart of the soul. A good person, smoker or not, gay or straight, obese are anorexic should be held accountable for their character and their deeds, not their physical imperfections.

That is the God I personally believe in. If I am wrong, then I will be with most of you cracking sulfur in the after life.

But I still think God to be far more forgiving of His imperfect creations.

Cheers

Repeat after me -

There is no heaven
There is no heaven
There is no heaven
There is no heaven

and if there is -

Gays will be as welcome as anyone else.

Curiously, if there is no heaven, no God, nothing after physical life, then I have nothing to lose in believing that there is.

On the other hand, if you are wrong...

What happened to "judge not, lest thee be judged thyself?" In Christianity, doesn't Christ alone "Judge the quick and the dead"?

I thought these 2 statements were general understandings in the Christian community; am I wrong? Saying someone won't be retiring to "club heaven" in their post-incarnatory years sounds like a gavel-slamming judgment to me.

I think there is something after physical life -
I don't think there is a "heaven" or at least what we have been
taught that heaven might be. If we need a heaven and hell to remind us
to be decent beings, then we have nothing. We don't need the threat of
heaven or hell. In fact we should be furious that such a notion has gone on
so long. It's an obvious way to control the masses.

I do believe in the concept of God if you define "God" as:
"The word used to describe the various ways people, animals and any being or spirit loves one another."
But I don't believe "God" is what the majority of us has been taught that "God" is.
And we don't need the threat of a God - to be good.
We already know what that means.

Well, I do not now, nor have I ever viewed the existence of God as a threat, lol. But regardless, I hope that you find your answers where you seek them.

mopusvindictus,

The natural tendency of humans is to think in the flesh. Education seems to help not in this arena. The human tack is to substitute human reasoning and logic/desires/expectations for those of God.

What is known from the Bible is that God views things from a standpoint of Purity. Not from the flesh.
This is one reason the Ark of the Covenant was removed from the temple.
The Hebrews had become impure...corrupted into the flesh of this world.

The Olde Timers say that when we stand before God ...God sees whether we are covered in the Blood of Jesus..not whether we have sex. For it is the Blood of Jesus which saves us..not sex/flesh. Understand now?? This puts it totally outside the ability of humans...period.
God needs to see the Blood of Jesus covering us...not our flesh. If God sees only our corrupt flesh...we don't go to heaven.
Who is covered with the Blood of Jesus. I don't know..it is none of my business. I don't determine that. Will there be homosexuals there. I have no doubt that there will be. The pope does not determine this. Neither do you and I. If there are homosexuals there..it is not by my design or yours but by His and for His purposes. God will do the work necessary to get them or anyone else there..not us. Not we ourselves.

Bull#, i say. sorry .

There is a story or narrative concerning Hebrew history in the New Testament. It concerns two twin brothers..of the same father..Issac. Their names are Jacob and Esau.

And here we have declared that God hated Esau and He loved Jacob. Both born of the same father..Issac. Of the same lump of clay.
For Jacob was in the book of life and Esau was not.
It is that simple.
Man's rationale wants to substitute anything and everything ..including..."that's not fair!!"

What is known is that God chooses who are His and for His purposes..not for ours. Chosen people do not choose..they are chosen.

This is how I know of whom and what I read...concerning salvation..even among Christian Brethren. Are they teaching a choosing doctrine...I choose...I determine...I decide who goes to heaven. Or are they teaching a Chosen Doctrine..where God chooses who are his..not we.

God determines who goes to heaven...not the pope or anyone else.
Anything short of this is a counterfeit. And of the counterfeit god.

This leaves natural men totally out of the loop. And the natural tendency or pattern of men is to reverse God's process by emotions..by logic.. by reason...by the religion of men. This is not what one sees in the Bible.

There is no clear cut doctrine in the Bible to not smoke. One can make the arguments about bad for your health or bad for the temple..etc etc. But there is no clear cut statement about smoking. It is not in there.

There is also no clear cut statement about drinking alcohol. There is a statement not to be drunken..but no statement not to drink.

Many believers go overboard about drinking alcohol.

If you cannot handle alcohol without being drunken..don't drink..it is that simple. But don't stretch this out to mean ..no one can drink or you are going to hell and damnation. Same with smoking. It is not there.

What is known by Believers well versed in the faith ..is that "all" ,including Believers, deserve hell and damnation..no exceptions.
Any knowledgeable preacher, pastor, priests..speaking on hellfire and brimstone..damnation is speaking of and in particular about themselves.

jem78,

This quote above is textbook and predictable of human logic and reasoning. It will pass for intelligence among most peoples because they don't thing further than the flesh or surface reasoning. It just sounds good like a catchy slogan or sales point.

People judge all the time..judge many things. If they don't they will be carried to and fro with every changing wind.

Judgement is how Believers know not to mix new wine with olde..leaven with unleavened. Corrupt with uncorrupted..by judgement.

Not only that ..but unbelievers have the ability to judge Believers in whether they are of God or not.

But to tell others not to judge is just plain Illogical. People judge things every day ..lots of things..and other people as well.

If Believers are not able to judge..they will never know when to separate from the ways of this world and the god of this world.
This is precisely why this man made logic does not make good nonsense when one thinks it through. Because someone out there does not want Believers to have the ability to separate from the things of this world and the god of this world. Someone does not want them to Judge.
Believers are to judge Righteous judgement. Not human judgement pe se.
Righteous here is a person...and not we ourselves.

Thanks to all for their posts,
Orangetom
