For those that understands the KJV and know that we are spiritual being and the body is the Temple to house the spirt should know that spirits do use us even if they are bad one or good ones, I believe that Gay is a sin but one of many. A lot of people sin.and I am not saying that it is right (judging is a Sin) I just don't like when people take one sin and Blow it up (Gay) and not do the same to the other ones . No such thing as a small or big sin. Sin is sin.

KJV states that Thomas said to the Lord how can we know the way, St.JOHN 14:6 tells us that Jesus told Thomas That he is the way ,the truth, and the life: NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by him( Jesus) This is written. Read it for yourself

doctor, nurse, Pope or anyother person in this world that doesn't receive JESUS as LORD OF ALL! The bible says that "there's one God", & the bible also says that "God is a jealous God" & also "not to have another God before thee" not mary or anyothwr saint; I pray to God in Jesus Name b/c JESUS DIED ME NOT mary. juss saying!

-Yes @ Lazar I agree with everything u said thats AWESOME & so true

-I also agree with Joel Olsteen, in that point when he said that some Christians think that homosexuality is worse than another sin b/c if u have ur 85 ur old grandma baking cookies & feeding the homeless & picking up crash around the city, no matter how harsh it may seem but if she doesnt receive Jesus Christ as her Lord & Savior she's going to hell right along with the homosexual, drunk, cheat, thief, policeofficer, fireman

Very scary. Joel Osteen probably means well. He wants folks to be saved, but it's like he's trying to sell Christ without actually saying what it means to be in Christ. It's watered down a lot. A lot of loop holes where folks can shrug their shoulders and say, "Well Joel Osteen said..." The bible is clear that no other name is given for salvation, and that those who have not repented from their homosexuality will not be saved. There are homosexuals who have repented and are now saved.

did he just say gay ppl can make it to heaven? ? ?

[Anordinarypersonable]

Being gay is not a sin. Trust me on this.

@alexrimbo Amen brother....God Bless!

@Windo64 We can not do better .... Our works are like filthy rags..... Instead we need to bare our crosses daily and let the Holy Spirit live inside of us! It can not live inside a sin filled person either so we must be saved and contunally have faith that our flesh was crucified on the cross with Christ and is dead(Gal.2:20)

[Windo64]

Sin is sin we all commit sin on a daily basis. It does not matter if its homosexuality or killing someone....it is still a sin. So repent of the sin and try to do better on a daily basis. The bible was given to us to live out what God wants for us...not what we want....!!!
