A question for a devoted Christian. [+ favourites]

I have many Christian friends, and they know I'm openly gay. I've asked all of them this question, but never got an answer.
Okay, I'm gay. Homosexuality is a sin. All of my friends know me well and say that I'm one of the few good people left in this world. I follow the Ten Commandments, yes. I'm drug-free. Alway have been, always will be. I'm actually a better person then many of my Christian friends. So, If I am a good person and I follow all of these rules and do everything to deserve to get into heaven (I know there's nothing you can CERTAINLY do to get into heaven and all that, but, you know what I mean) will I really be ejected just because I am homosexual? I, personally, am not Christian. But I want to know.

You will be rejected from Heaven on the basis that you do not accept Jesus as your saviour.

Okay, assume I WAS Christian and accepted Jesus as my savior. Assume I was a good Christian....who is homosexual. What then?

If you were a good Christian you wouldn't be a homosexual. I know some gays who became Christians and they have left that lifestyle behind them.

Okay. The question isn't if I'm a good Christian or not. Just say I AM a good Christian. I'm going to be denied from Heaven just for being homosexual? Even if I believe in Jesus and follow the Ten Commandment and so forth?

to be homosexual is to be a "bad" or anti christian. you may be a nice person, a law abiding person but if you are homosexual you are not a good christian. so much so that you will be sent to hell. thats the general concensus anyway.

Ethereal answered your question. To be homosexual is to be a bad Christian, to sin, to not accept Jesus as your saviour.

Apparently in christianity it is. Why would anyone want to be a christian if they are aware of this or believe in it!!!
Utter discrimination to the extreme. Just another reason why christianity is not morally correct. I bet the so called 'God' would utterly frown upon discrimination against homosexuals.

Why not? Your implication that people should reject Christianity because it has a moral code that you dislike is absurd. There are good reasons to not accept homosexuality. Primarily it destroys the only safe environment that a child can grow up in. But I guess not discriminating against the homosexual lifestyle is better than helping our children.

It is discrimination. Whether you be completely the same as a devout Christian in every other respect, but go home with a man whom you love (if you are a man), you are going to hell.

Any associations made towards homosexuality other than who they go home with are stereotyped assumptions. A lot of gay people are unrecognizable as gay people in modern day society, hence, their effect on society for being gay is completely negligible.

That statistically proves that there is no logical reason why they should be considered sinners, since they statistically do not affect anyone around them if they do not want to.

But that is irrelvent, because gay people being fully gay are not proven to be harmful for society. I don't have proof otherwise, but there obviously is not enough proof to declare them sinners based on the assumption that they corrupt children. I don't think they have been welcomed in society long enough or freely enough to truly judge how they affect children, or people.

My belief is they don't affect children in a worse way than crusading intolerent Christians do.

you really seem socially-morally blinded. It seems you have been brainwashed.

Why? Because I disagree with you?
