Yes they do go to hell because it is unnatural for God wanting people who like the same gender as themselves.

1Corinthians 6:9&10;Or do you not know that wrong doers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

You need to prove the Bible correct before you use it to make assumptions.

The Bible is based off of pagan mythology.

You cannot use it unless you prove that it is the word of god.

First: Why does Judas use the money he got to buy a field, and upon God's wrath, he falls head first into it, his stomach rupturing and his organs bursting out, due to his greed?

Second: Why does Judas throw the money into a temple in guilt, then hang himself?

If a man believes in Christ, he may go to heaven... but while he lives he must also try and conquer his own temptations.... Regardless of whether homosexuality is chosen or not, he must overcome his lusts... For we are all sinful men of the flesh but only a man who is truly of the Spirit will be able to prevail over himself.

Romans 7:25 "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin."

1 John 1:5-10 "This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

The word "homosexual" did not exist until about 1869 when it was coined in the German language. Here is an article for you to read.

As I understand it any wrong doers who fail to repent and who do not believe in Jesus will not be given a heaven pass and will therefore perish for eternity. This includes Homosexuals.

Side: Yes

Yes, but all unrepentant sinners go to Hell. Since all sin is equal in the eyes of God, all sinners who reject him are condemned by their own sinful nature.

You could get the same answer of "Yes" from "As mentioned in the Bible, do Prostitutes/Cheaters/Liars/Murderers/Etc go to Hell?"

So yes, I am saying this is a loaded question.

Side: Yes

I'm actually kind of yes-and-no(ing) to this one. Remember, Jesus Hung out with Whores and Tax collectors. Salvation is for everyone. So, you can be saved as a Homosexual, even though gay sex IS a sin. However, the Bible does not say that being attracted to a member of the same sex is a sin.

It actually says that performing the action of homosexual...well, um, SEX is a sin. Remember, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are all tempted. Jesus himself was tempted, however, he did not fall to actually sinning.

I really think there should be more of a, "Don't ask, don't tell" attitude to it.

Side: Yes

Sad to say but yes they do because God made man for woman.

You can't go somewhere that doesn't exist. Also, if there was a god who sent ANYONE to hell, he would be an absolute bastard.

how do you know that it doesn't exist no one has been to heaven or hell it lies in what you believe and God didn't create Adam and Eve for them to be homosexuals and sleeping or getting married to a person your sex is unruly and at some stage you will definitely feel out of place and in what i believe heaven and hell do exist so being you i wouldn't call God an absolute .............. because he is the one who made sure that you exist because if it wasn't for God there would have been no humans and none of these privileges like phones and stuff wouldn't be there if it wasn't for God but that is what i believe and i don't know about you.

Depends. In the old testament or new? In the old they would but in the new Lord would forgive them if they believe in him.

No...because everything written in the bible is not real.

It's a fictional book for me like Dante Alighieri's Comedies.

Much of the bible is historical fact not fiction the cast really existed, it is a cop out to say its fiction. Take the accounts of Matthew mark Luke and John, who were witnesses to some of the events. Most of what they say supports precisely the same observations , with slight variations typical of witness reports, and some of what they say isnt reported by the other three presumably because they either forgot it or didnt think it was relevant or they simply weren't there.

Always takes an atheist to school Christians on their bible...

No, none of the four gospels were written by anyone that witnessed any of the events described in them:

Luke estimated dates: AD70-90

Mark: AD60-70

John: AD90-100

Matthew: AD100-140

So the earliest gospel was written 60 yrs after the death of Christ, even if you assume the gospel writers lived 70 yrs (life expectancy was faaarrr lower in those days) Mark would have been 10 at the time of Jesus' death.

"with slight variations typical of witness reports" or... with slight variations typical of folks who are copying one another's work.

Jeesh, do Christians ever google? If you do y'all should google something called 'the Council of Nicea'.

If a homosexual believes in God, knows how to forgive and be forgiven, and is generally nice to other people, why should he be denied a chance at salvation? Jesus did have prostitutes and tax collectors (worse outcasts) in his association. Also, the Old Testament argument is getting old. The Old Testament is also the same part of the Bible that says "And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you" (aka, God Hates Shrimp)

Homosexuals go to Heaven. There are plenty there and the bigots who didn't like them have now discovered how wonderful friends they make.

Once saved always saved....It's alarmingly obvious that religion is a very successful business model....Homosexuals are equally similar to a straight person except for their sexual preferences. If they never claimed so, their church and devout individuals would never judge them adversely. Change is what the church views as sin.

Side: No
