demons. They rejected Him. But of Sodom, a City far more wicked, He says it would have repented and would not have been destroyed if He had done the same things there. Thus Jesus condemned homosexuality. Today He wants all who participate in it to repent. If the homosexuals of Sodom could have repented, homosexuals may still repent today. And there is a way out.
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrong doers will not inherit or have any share in the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; 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 foul-mouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the Kingdom of God. And such some of you were. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin); and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed); and you were justified (pronounced righteous, by trust) in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
A way has been provided for you to escape. You do not have to continue living in "Gay" life. God is willing to receive you. "And such some of you were" means some of those cleansed and made clean by God during the early Church times were homosexuals. God has not changed. What He did then He will still do today. Don't tell yourself that some day you'll change and go straight. You will change, but only for the worse. Do you want to end up an "old Auntie" sitting in gay bars dishing and becoming alcoholic? Do you want to end up paying for tricks because no one wants you for yourself anymore?

Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God
will not allow Himself to be sneered at-scorned, disdained or mocked (by mere pretensions or professions, or His precepts being set aside)-He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows that and that only is what he will reap. You try to convince yourself daily that the life you are living is right, but you cannot completely quiet the doubts and fears. You know in your heart it is wrong. You are being deluded and misled. You are wrong. You will reap in the future the folly you sow now. It just doesn't make sense for a man to "Swisk" or have long hair and wear make-up, or for a woman to cut her hair and act "Butch". When you were coming out, was it easy? What about the guilt and fear of being found out? Slowly you hardened yourself until it stopped bothering you so much. You had days when it bothered you, but you made excuses or got drunk in order to forget. Days, weeks and years you have made excuses and refused to face the truth. Admit it-you are lying to yourself. Read what God does to those in this condition: . . . they did not welcome the truth but refused to love it that they might be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false in order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness. God will bring you into judgment for being a homosexual, because He has made a way out for you. It is not an easy way. It is a way of self-denial. It is painful at times, but it's worth it to be free.
If you will come to Jesus Christ you will find the answer. He is the answer. Why? Because God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
