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?
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."
