Welcome to Gaia! ::

If I'm gay, do I go to hell?
The answer is (unfortunately) yes. Being gay isn't who a person is, as many may say. It's just a way to make it acceptable. Now PLEASE don't get me wrong, I have a few friends who are gay, most of them aren't trying to stop it and aren't really Christians, but I have one friend Named jared who is trying to stop. He still wears makeup and does ballet with a passion, but He is not acting on any urges that have ot do with his same sex and Is trying to just focus on God KNOWING that He can help (and has been!).

Okay So Why is it wrong? Well, The Bible says that people who refuse to turn from their sin and recieve God's forgiveness will end up in Hell whether they are gay or straight. Does the Bible teach that homosexuality is a sin? Yes, very clearly!
~Leviticus 18:22 says (speaking to a male) "'You shall not lie with a man as you lie with a woman. It is abomination,..'"
~Romans 1: 26-28 says "For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of a woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and recieveing in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."
~1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be decieved, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulturers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, nor will inherit the kingdom of God."
But it also says that sex outside of marriage, drunkenness, lying, and stealing are sins. So lets lay aside the whole issue of being gay for a moment, and imagine that our homosexual friend is straight and married. He/She still has a problem. They, like all of us, still have broken a number of commandments (Psalm 143:2). Regardles of the nature of their sin, all people, heterosexual or homosexual, must turn to the Lord and trust in Christ in order to be saved (Acts 4:12; 17:30-31).

Did thid help?

Im unsure as to why you are so upset..? (:
You did say it yourself, however, carbon is found in all living things.. Did you catch that? LIVING things. Also, carbon-based LIFE forms. After an animal dies, the carbon leaves the dead carcass of bone, thus your statement above doesn't prove valid. Also, You cannot really cite wikipedia as a source, as almost anyone has access to change the information inside. Source cited was not recognized because of this fact. I am getting my information from several people and my own research, just so you know. An Highschool classes teach alot of things, It doesnt necessarily make them right. The school system (owned by the government) Has to toeach a certain curriculum by law. Otherwise We would all be learning whatever the science teacher thought was fit and best in their eyes.
Carbon dating DOES indeed test the decay.. but of what? CARBON. hence the name CARBON-dating. If there isn't carbon in a DEAD animal, then the measurements are interfered with and thus, wrong.

I encourage you to find another source, because this one is not reliable whatsoever. also, If you read what I wrote, You will understand that I agreed carbon is found in all life forms, not dead forms. Carbon is a gas so when the skin and muscle et cetera deteriorates and rots away and all that is left is bone, the carbon will leave because it is no longer being contained. a gas will continue to expand and thin out when it has no boundaries, simple chemistry. Im done arguing the clear point and reality of what is and isn't true to someone who is so hard hearted and set to their beliefs than to take another's into consideration. And please don't say that I am like that because I suspect you will. I have considered ALL points of explaining the universe and I have done my homework. Thank you, and au revoir, Monsieur.

Goodbye, Have a nice day Sir. And please don't comment on my grammatical errors, It isn't my fault if my keyboard sticks and Im too busy to go back and check all of my errors. Thank-you.

Thank-you for your post biggrin It does make a lot of sense, though smile If you can thinkof any questions that people might have, let me know and I will do my best to answer them for anyone else who happens to look at this thread ^^'

cause he created humans to worship him freely i was told that was one reason he made us

well i have a couple things to say.
1. homosexuality was verry comon before and slightly after the bibil was written (thats out of my history book)
2. isn't it also said that if we ask for forgivness we wont go to hell? we're taught to be good people. that we have a kind and forgiving god. he is our father (church)
3. i belive god created sciance. he created evolution to throw us off but Jesus forgot to mention it. or purposly didnt say anything.

i used to go to church and i have a bible of my oun. i went to sunday school. my parents have taught me about jesus and we celibrate him on christmas, not santa.

Here's a scenario that always comes to mind when someone asks something like this:

God created man, no robots. He could have created robots; perfect beings that would never do anything wrong and love him with no doubts. But God wanted true love. I used this example recently to another person smile When you are forced to sit in a room with someone you dont care about, things are awkward, and just not fun at all. But if you go and make plans with someone you like, it can be a whole bunch of fun. God didn't want to create robots that just loved Him because they were programmed to. He created Humans with a choice to Love him, real love. Giving us the choices he did in what we want to do with our lives was a gift so we weren't robots.
Here's another example: You get more joy out of watching a puppy come to you joyfully when you call him then when he's being stubborn and your making him come, right? That's God, He gave us the free will, because forced love isn't love at all!
