does god forgive gays

⁹Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers, ¹⁰nor the effeminate, nor males who sleep with males, nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor the inebriated, nor slanderers, nor the rapacious shall possess the kingdom of God. ¹¹And some of you were like this. But you have been absolved, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified: all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

²⁸And one of the scribes, who had heard them arguing, drew near to him. And seeing that he had answered them well, he questioned him as to which was the first commandment of all. ²⁹And Jesus answered him: “For the first commandment of all is this: ‘Listen, O Israel. The Lord your God is one God. ³⁰And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from your whole mind, and from your whole strength. This is the first commandment.’ ³¹But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

²²You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

²⁶For if we sin willingly, after receiving knowledge of the truth, there is no sacrifice remaining for sins, ²⁷but instead, a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire that shall consume its adversaries. ²⁸If someone dies for acting against the law of Moses, and is shown no compassion because of two or three witnesses,

¹³If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

¹⁰just as it was written: “There is no one who is just. ¹¹There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks God. ¹²All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. ¹³Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. ¹⁵Their feet are swift to shed blood.

⁶If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth. ⁷But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. ⁸If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. ⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity. ¹⁰If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.

²⁷For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with Christ. ²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

¹But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives. ²And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them. ³Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them. ⁴And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery. ⁵And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?” ⁶But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
