Ask Pat Robertson

QUESTION: Over five years ago I experimented with other men sexually. Will I still go to heaven if I now believe in Jesus?
PAT ANSWERS: There's something that people need to understand and I want to make it very clear. There are certain sins that can go on to heaven: pride, envy, arrogance and slander. They can attach to your spirit. Jesus said out of the heart of man come certain things -- blasphemy and lust and so forth. But the bodies we have are going to die. And when they die, we will be like the angels. We will neither marry or be given in marriage and all of the sexual urges will be taken away. What I am trying to say is that the body that you have you are going to leave behind. If you come to Jesus Christ, He has forgiven you of your sin. What you did was wrong. Confess it to the Lord and say this is wrong. It is something else to say I am going to justify it, and whether the Bible says it is good or bad, I am going to keep on doing it. God says your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and we need to behave that way. Nevertheless, God also remembers that you are made out of dust and He remembers who you are and what you are. Of course He will forgive your sin. Of course you will go to heaven, if indeed you have received Jesus and have been born again by His Spirit. That's what is important. What happened before is under the blood of Jesus Christ and you need to leave it there.
