sorry i didn’t read all posts, but did read few. to answer your question, No, you are not destined to go to hell, but its your choice to make, you can always change. did you know no matter how many times you have committed sins against humanity and God, you can always become pure. pure means you have no more sins (confession). so your destiny is totally in your hands. God wants you to be with him for eternity, so does lucifer…think about it.
The sins of Sodom are listed in the writings of some of the prophets.
Yes, and people were so wicked they wanted to rape the Angels, they weren’t even interested in Lot’s daughters, even when Lot offered his daughters to them.
Not sure what that has to do with the sins of Sodom being detailed in the writings of the prophets. Did you intend to reply to my post?
If you turn away from the sin, ask God to forgive you, and accept Jesus into your heart, you will not, but if you continue and don’t allow Jesus to come in, you may. THis is what scriptures say, not me.I try to live a good christian life for the most part, so am I? I believe i’m not but I would appreciate your take on the matter
Read what the bible says if you don’t accept Christ into your heart and then get carried away with your own sin. Not my words, but His.
I am a psychiatrist I am familiar with similar religious arguments. I have dealt with the results of said arguments.
We don’t know that they haven’t accepted Chirst and are repentant on a daily basis yet haven’t left the sin. IOW, we don;t know who goes to hell and to state unequivocally that someone is going there is to usurp the power of God.
Repent means to turn away from the sin, so if they haven’t left the sin, they aren’t repentant, just to clear that up. Scripture says that if you don’t believe that He died for your sins and that He is the son of God, both God and man, and if you don’t accept Him into Your heart, you will not go to heaven. Again, it’s written in scriptures, not my words. It is true that we don’t know who goes to heaven and who doesn’t because we don’t know if the person has accepted Him into their heart or not. That is the main point, if we have accepted Him into our heart.
Why can’t we leave it at that???.for God to judge…My friend your sin is for God to judge but I am of the opinion that the ice you may be on is no thinner than that of a heterosexual adulterer.
And it is possible to accept Christ and still be in sin. After all we are all in some sin or another even though we have accepted Christ.
Right, we all sin, but we are called to turn away from perpetual sin, not live a life of a certain sin if we know it is wrong. And when we do sin, we can be forgiven if we ask for it, but then we need to turn away from the sin. That is the crux, to turn away from it. For some, it is a struggle, but we need to ask God for His help and grace to turn away, and He will supply it.
Yes, I agree, we do not know if the person has accepted Christ or not whether he will go to heaven or not, no one knows. There are certain scriptures which give the conditions one will not go to heaven, and the main one is not accepting Christ into your heart. If you believe in God, you will believe His Word, and if you have the Holy Spirit living in you, you will know the Truth of His word.
