And if you accept Christ and have sex with men?Or if you are a pathological liar and accept Christ... or a kleptomaniac, or ... or... a sin is a sin.  

---

 

  Would you say any sin habit you're unable to break before death negates your accepting Christ? Or as long as one makes a sincere effort to accept him, it's not absolutely necessary that you successfully fight off temptation till your death?

---

No. I wouldn't say that at all. Resisting temptation as best as one can and repenting when you fail is a necessary part of following Jesus.

---

"Resist not temptation"

---

More than ten schools of biblical scholars have used the term homosexual in their translations of this verse. But yet, the devout and faithful Christians rebuke and refute this word of god. Blasphemy!

It seems that religion has become a following of convenience; for a select few.

No.

 If Hell exists, you go there because you reject Jesus Christ.

---

And if you accept Christ and have sex with men?

---

You're living in sin, but the sin is still not what would send you to hell. In this case, it would be the lack of repentence on your part.

Yes. You posted it. I pointed out that out of all of the translations in the world, that is the only one that says "homosexuals" not "those who commit homosexual acts" or "those who practice homosexuality."

There's a big difference there, and why you would choose to use a translation that's known to be taken from a faulty manuscript is beyond me.

Where in the Bible?

Note that verses that have been shown to mean something else in this topic? Don't count.

You said it yourself, or rather you said what another interpretation of it was

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
  fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals/"those who commit homosexual acts/""those who practice homosexuality." ", thieves, will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

---

Which =/= going to hell absolutely.

Does not inherit the kingdom of God, not equal not getting into heaven?

No, "will not inherit the kingdom of God" =/= "will go to hell no matter what."
