No, man, I'm serious.
From my understanding of Jesus, there really isn't an UNFORGIVABLE sin. It's the part about "go forward and sin no more." That is the hard part I would imagine.

If you get a straight man to hug a woman in a non-sexual way, would it turn them gay I strongly doubt it.

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Unforgivable. I stand corrected. Matthew 12:32 "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come," (All Scripture quotes are from the NASB).[QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"]Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

can homosexuals be saved? yes if they stop being homosexuals. if not than bible prescribes death penalty to them.Harisemo
It's not really possible for someone who is homosexual to stop being homosexual. The same goes for heterosexual people.

what does political sway have to do with religion?From what I can tell, there's actually two different way of looking at this.
1. You always going to be saved, no matter what, so long as you accept Him into your life and ask for his forgiveness whenever you sin.
So in short, you can do no wrong, just keep asking for forgiveness.
2. Unless you do exactly what the bible says, you're going to hell.
So I guess it all depends who you ask.

Grammer? :P Only one who is as good as God himself is capable of being in the presence of God. As Romans 3:10-12 states, "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Because of our lack of righteousness the only way we can be found righteous is through our faith in Christ. The rest of Romans explains how and why that is the case.[QUOTE="mindstorm"]

I'm not exactly sure, but I THINK that we are called to emulate Christ to the best of our ability. That is, the default setting for mankind is sinner, so we are called to do our best to avoid sin, and to make choices that support others. I'm sure there are others that can explain it a heck of a lot better than me."Place support rod A into slot B. Using the included alan key, secure four screws into the underside of the left panel, fixing a small amount of PVA glue to bind both sections together. Once dry, turn over and affix front handle using the included 3 inch bolts."

Being gay isn't a choice. I don't know a single gay person that would prefer to be gay Nor do I know a single homosexual that has been "saved" from being gay They may become celibate, but they're still homosexual.
The "sin" isn't with being homosexual, it's with having premarital intercourse.

Correct, you cannot go to Heaven without accepting Christ.So every other religion is bound for Hell? Even the Jews, who worshiped the same God as you hundreds of years before Christ was born? And Muslims, who worship the same God you do and accept Jesus as a prophet but consider Mohammed more important?

I agree that homosexuality is not simply a choice. However, I do not simple choose that I will be a sinner or sinless. All of us are by nature sinful and imperfect regardless of our sexuality.People that take every passage of the Bible literally make me die a little inside.

I'm not sure I fully understand "Only by faith are we saved but in our love of Christ we seek after his good pleasure." Ephesians 2:8-10 explains it this way, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."[QUOTE="mindstorm"][QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"] I'm not exactly sure, but I THINK that we are called to emulate Christ to the best of our ability.

Only problem with this is blasphemy is so non-descript so bendable that it usually is defined by the party that rules instead of anything coming close to a true meaning.
What about tribes living in the jungles of the world? I guess they'll all just burn in hell too? God's not very fair. Ninja-HippoI think Fulton Sheen wrote about this in one of his books in the section titled Divine Invasion. He basically states that if there is a person that lives a good, decent life, but has not taken part in the Eucharist, but likely would if it were available to them, that person would not be excluded from heaven.
