Pastor Joel Osteen Tells Oprah: Gay People Will Be 'Accepted Into Heaven' What do you think?

[jahlaune]

thats like asking will thieves, adulterers etc get into heaven. I think you have to be repentent for anything you do that is a sin. last time i checked all sins were ummmm sins? but maybe their are some ppl like the ones here commenting that do no sins at all who knows?

[SurfaceOfTheEye]

There is no opinion about it. What does The Bible say about homosexuality?

[MrJeter693]

you cant pick and choose on what to apologize for you have to do it in the whole law thats why its called the WORD not the WORDS

[MrJeter693]

i believe that they can and i read somewhere that you should read james 2:10 ieven if you dont see it as a sin

[TEMPYT123]

Valid question. If you are seeking the truth, read the book "INSIGHT IN SIGHT - Was I Born Like This?" written by a former homosexual who discovered the answer to this question.

[chucky55122]

He's a sugar coated pastor. Bible is clear you can't practice sin and be saved. Homosexuality is listed. 1 Cor. 6:8,9 I believe it is

[nathandutton]

No the Bible Says they will not and I believe the Bible

[deleakintimoye]

Science has not proved conclusively that anyone is born gay. No one is born an adulterer or fornicator or polygamist or polyandric or bisexual or heterosexual. Every sexual abnormality is a work of the flesh as opposed to the fruit of the Spirit. We are to walk in the Spirit so that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. If homosexuals do not repent from their sin and stop practicing it before they die, they will not be accepted into heaven.

[I21GenieLee]

They have to join the club...like all of us..they must DENY themselves to follow Christ...Osteen has no backbone...if u can't say what the Word of God says. How can u be a Pastor?..We don't have to give our thoughts on the matter..the bible is Clear!

[rigga1961]

NO!!!!!!!!!They must ask Christ for forgiveness and repent and turn from their wicked ways.

[ifcdave]

No. Homosexuality is sin and the Bible says sin can't enter into heaven.

[cmb2cmp]

I don't think the feelings gays might have sexual urges but its a choice to choose to act on those feelings yes its a sin ask 4forgiveness period

[TheBubbleGumClan]

Of course! Homosexuality is not a choice. It's the way your brain was hooked up when you where born. Homosexuality will be accepted by God because he accepts everyone, and I believe it is not a sin anymore because they didn't know it was a choice or not. Anyways, homosexuals will be accepted to Heaven.

[brooklynchild66]

Only If there Seek God and Bow to Him and repent He is a father that Forgives thats why Is son died on the cross for the people

[tank2g2]

Only if they ask for forgiveness for their choice in lifestyle.

most cases no, sadly.

[TheBubbleGumClan]

@tank2g2 It's not a "choice in lifestyle," its the way your where born.

[shicet1]

Read the Quran then ask that question again.. But you wouldn't have to because the Quran would've answered that for you!!

[UnforgetableDolly]

Yes, Yes they will.

[Soniccool2]

nope its a sin

[0326hkim]

(i mean no fight here just my thoughts) That is a quick straight answer. But as a straight guy, I struggle with sexual immorality. I am not proud of them and I am ashamed of it. Don't we all have sins that we struggle with? In no way am I trying to justify any sin. I do hope for the day where I no longer desire things of the flesh, but homosexuality is a sin, I agree, but what about the ones that are trying to overcome it, but still struggling with it?

[princsun]

yes, why? you gay?
