Noone can judge the actions of anyone else. The fate of a homosexual is no different than an adulterer, murderer, liar, or thief. The point is that we all are sinners because we were born into a world of sin. But through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/salvation_frequently_asked_questions.htm\" title=\"What Is Salvation\"><strong>salvation<\/strong><\/a> granted by the grace of God The Father and sealed by the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ The Son we are cleansed of our sins and have eternal spiritual life in Heaven. So as you read the scripture below from the Bible, remember that if you are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbn.org\/index.php\/1.html\" title=\"Get Saved Today!!!\"><strong>saved<\/strong><\/a>, you can be delivered or set free from sin and you can live eternally in Heaven with God The Father.<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#800080\">1 Corinthians 6:9-20<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#008000\"><span id=\"en-NLT-28436\" class=\"sup\">9<\/span> Don\u2019t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don\u2019t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, <span id=\"en-NLT-28437\" class=\"sup\">10<\/span> or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people\u2014none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. <span id=\"en-NLT-28438\" class=\"sup\">11<\/span> Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#008000\"><span id=\"en-NLT-28439\" class=\"sup\">12<\/span> You say, \u201cI am allowed to do anything\u201d\u2014but not everything is good for you. And even though \u201cI am allowed to do anything,\u201d I must not become a slave to anything. <span id=\"en-NLT-28440\" class=\"sup\">13<\/span> You say, \u201cFood was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.\u201d (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can\u2019t say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. <span id=\"en-NLT-28441\" class=\"sup\">14<\/span> And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#008000\">\u00a0<span id=\"en-NLT-28442\" class=\"sup\">15<\/span> Don\u2019t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! <span id=\"en-NLT-28443\" class=\"sup\">16<\/span> And don\u2019t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, \u201cThe two are united into one.\u201d<sup>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20Corinthians%206;&amp;version=51;#fen-NLT-28443d\" title=\"See footnote d\">d<\/a>]<\/sup> <span id=\"en-NLT-28444\" class=\"sup\">17<\/span> But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#008000\">\u00a0<span id=\"en-NLT-28445\" class=\"sup\">18<\/span> Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. <span id=\"en-NLT-28446\" class=\"sup\">19<\/span> Don\u2019t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, <span id=\"en-NLT-28447\" class=\"sup\">20<\/span> for God bought you with a high price.
