I tried telling that to a few people over the last few years who tried to claim that God told them it's ok for men to marry men and women to marry women, and their pastor said it was ok. They couldn't stand when i made it clear that there's nowhere in the Holy Bible that says that's ok, and multiple places that says it's not ok. They lost it. Blind have lead the blind.
If 2 gay men are married and they are also Christian and live great positive lives, more so than most others on this planet... will they still go to hell for eternity without a chance of redemption?
First if all, a true Christian is repentant if sin (sexual immorality is sin) so they aren’t true Christians if they are gay. God condemns all sin. So lest they repent if their evil deeds, they will reap their just rewards and will not see the kingdom of heaven.
Galations 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Members of Christ
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Romans 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Leviticus 20:10-21 Punishments for Sexual Immorality
(Proverbs 5:1–23; 1 Corinthians 5:1–8)
10If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
11If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.
13If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.
15If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.
16If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations,c it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.
18If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her,d he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.
19You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.
20If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.
So even if they lived the best lives possible, saved many many people from evil, torture and death, they would still be sent to hell because they love each other and both have a penis?
Homosexuality is sin, but because Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, the only sin anyone can go to hell for is refusing to believe in the name of the only Son of God, Jesus Christ.
John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."
Every believer will always have sin in their lives to some extent.
1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."
But, the better job we do of putting to death the sin in our lives:
The less Fatherly discipline God needs to give us on Earth. (see 1 Corinthians)
The more useful we will be to Christ on Earth, and thus the greater our treasure in heaven, that we will enjoy for all eternity will be.
Matthew 5:19 "Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Straight into hell they lead them

Can't be Christian and gay so the question is invalid
Change your name to unstable genius. You have the same way of thinking as the extreme left.
Ask God.
I'm asking the people here who say they know the word of God.

Quite a paradox. God will sort it out.
That's a non-answer. Try again.
