VALLEJO, CA. – Mayor Osby Davis received rebukes from homosexual activists after stating that “gays are committing a sin and that sin will keep them out of Heaven.” Davis followed with an apology to those who may have been offended.
Homosexuality is a sin and will keep them out of heaven, so is adultery, murder etc.
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such WERE some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Please note that they WERE sinners before Jesus saved them. This says that they cannot continue in sin and go to heaven.
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?" Romans 6:1-2
"Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" Luke 6:46
Obedience to the will of God is an expected thing.
"For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please." Galatians 5:17
Please note that I used God's word and not my own to prove my point. God stands ready to forgive any sinner and to adopt him or her into His forever family but those who thumb their noses at His offer of mercy will face His wrath at the judgment.
