Hello Sir,<\/p>\n
I’ve sinned against God. I am gay. I slept with a guy just recently. Please, is there any hope for me to inherit God’s kingdom? I’m really confused.<\/p>\n
Please help me.<\/p>\n\t
The same passage that says that homosexuals cannot inherit the kingdom of God also says that fornicators, adulterers, and drunkards cannot inherit the kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:9-10). You sinned, yes, but you act like that sin is permanent. If you read the next verse (I Corinthians 6:11), you will find that the church in Corinth had members who were former\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, and even homosexuals. These people gave up their sins to be Christians. There is no reason you cannot also give up your sins and return to God.<\/p>\n\t Thank you, sir. I’m so very grateful!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Hello Sir, I’ve sinned against God. I am gay. I slept with a guy just recently.
