LIE -"You're going to Hell because you're gay."
TRUTH - "You're going to Hell because you're a sinner."
When you preach this, "You're going to Hell because you are gay", you're preaching a gospel with just a little added twist to it; which makes it a false gospel; a lie. Does being gay make you a "worse" sinner than being greedy, or a glutton, or a thief, etc...? The Bible does allude to some sins carrying more dire spiritual consequences than others, but that's for the Judge to decide. For now, we're all in the same boat, "for all have sinned..."
I Cor. 6 clearly states that the "unrighteous and the wrongdoers" will be separated from God. Do you look at porn online? You make the list too, under "impure and immoral". SIN separates us from God, of which participating in homosexual acts is but one example (more on that in one of our next unpopular sermons).
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God. ~I Cor. 6:9-10 (AMP)
Waiting for Westboro Baptist Church to start picketing our local churches with signs reading, "God hates alcoholics!", "Burn in Hell greedy person!" and "Pray for more dead gossipers!"
