[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. [/i] --Matthew 7:21

What is this will of the Father in heaven?

[i]For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day." [/i] --John 6:40

There are many who claim to be Christian but saying you are Christian does not make you one. If you believe in Jesus you will believe what he said and obey his commandments. Jesus told the woman who was convicted of adultery, "Go and sin no more." This was not a suggestion or an optional "only if you feel like it" set of words, it was a command.  A person who is truly a Christian will 100% make the effort to "go and sin no more" and obey what Jesus said.

In the time of Jesus, both adultery (sexual immorality) and homosexuality (abomination) were sins that carried a death sentence.  If Jesus told the adulterer to "Go and sin no more" he would have told a homosexual the exact same thing.

To say that the bible does not speak out against homosexuality, or that the sin of Sodom was not homosexuality is to twist and omit scripture to get it to say something it does not.

--The men of sodom were homosexuals
--God said he would spare Sodom if only 10 righteous people could be found in the city 
--10 righteous people could not be found

Conclusion:  homosexuality is not righteous behavior.

[i]Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, 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[/i]. --1 Corinthians 6:9

Notice here that some in the church were formerly homosexuals but they had repented and turned away from that sin. 
  
What we are seeing, in what is surely the Last Days, is a dividing in the church which happens to be over the issue of homosexuality.  Those Christians who obey Jesus will not accept, condone, call normal, approve, nor celebrate this sexual deviance from the normal order God created. As a result, these Christians who know Jesus as Lord and obey his commandments will become persecuted, their churches closed or certainly lose tax exempt status, and just as in communist countries these righteous Christians will lose their jobs, be kicked out of the universities, blocked and banned from social media, and eventually, as stated in the book of Revelation, prohibited from buying or selling.

Those Christians who want to "get along with the world" so as to avoid persecution will hear Jesus say to them, "I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws."

Eventually, the Catholic church is either going to adhere to God's word and purify itself, or it will become as the apostate Episcopalians and compromise with the world, trying to be friends with evil which cannot be done. It explains in Revelation why the 10-horned beast will eventually turn on this "whore church" and destroy it once that church is no longer necessary to achieve power.
