Does god forgive gay people
But God never depicted coital relationships between two men or two women in a positive way. When God made Eve, Adam said “this at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman” (Genesis 23).
Romans –27 teaches that
Marriage is represented frequently in Scripture. The Bible makes it clear that God offers forgiveness to all people, regardless of their background or struggles. Today, we’ll discuss what the Bible says about God’s forgiveness for those who identify as gay, and how His love and grace extend to everyone. While the Bible is clear in its view of homosexuality, it is essential to remember that God loves all of his creation and offers forgiveness to those who repent and turn away from their sins.
Leviticus ~ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Only homosexual acts are gravely sinful. But God does forgive those acts, provided the sinner is truly repentant. In fact, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) clearly teaches: There is no offense, however serious, that the Church cannot forgive. Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Strongly condemning sin as sin is in actuality showing deep compassion for a person who is caught up in such an act but does not realize that repentance is needed. And that is what some of you were. It is important for us to observe that Paul speaks of those believers in Christ as once being adulterers, homosexual offenders, etc. Following their repentance and trust in the Savior, this pattern of deliberate sinful lifestyles ceased because of their love for Christ in justifying them by his grace.
To those caught in a sexual sin, either on a one-time occasion or successive occasions, the full forgiveness, of Christ is to be offered them when the Law of God has convicted them of their sin. David, who had committed adultery with Bathsheba, was immediately restored in his relationship with God, after making confession of his sin to the prophet Nathan. No doubt there is a despicable prejudice exhibited by many today against those who were once heavily involved in sexual sins but now have been brought to repentance.
We believers need to fight hard against this tendency to not fully accept such a repentant sinner back into the fold. Upholding the status of full restitution for the penitent is just as necessary as upholding the matter of condemning sin as sin.
