I think that frankly it's a trap question. If we answer one way, we're not following the bible that is at the heart of the religion we believe in. If we answer the other way, then we are hating, disliking, disapproving, whatever of someone else which also would be against our religion. why don't you ask if god is so powerful, can he create a rock that even he can not lift? the question has no answer. The plain truth is that we can try as we might to interpret the bible and the teachings of Christianity but none of us knows what heaven looks like and none of us will until we get there. None of us knows for sure if someone who is gay will be denied Heaven for being gay. If I was a betting man I would like the chances of a gay man with character over a man who hates him because he is gay. All of this is like saying, "So you believe in Jesus? well prove that he exists." but that's the beauty of it, because I don't have to. I believe what I've already stated in this thread and when my time comes, there will be no one here on Mudcat or anywhere else that will get a vote as to whether I get into Heaven or not.

I have never complained or put anyone down for not believing the same thing I do, it's simply not my place to do so. But here on this site, the comments are constant that are there either to berate or degrade me. My intelligence is questioned. I may not be singled out but I am a Christian and therefore I am included. I'm responsible for my actions and for my words, attack me when they offend you. If my opinions and beliefs offend you, there's nothing I can do about that.
