I got into an who claimed to be a Christian, but demonstrated such a hateful, damning spirit that it cast a lot of doubt on that claim.

One part of his stance was that Jesus didn't perform miracles on [homosexuals] in any of the parables (of course, Jesus TAUGHT in parables; the accounts of his miracles are not parables, but this guy isn't the sharpest sword).

That stumped me for a bit, and then I was reading about the healing/exorcism of the Gerasene Demoniac. This guy had many many evil spirits in him, maybe as many as two thousand (one for each pig in the herd). I am certain that every evil you or I have ever heard of, including foul language and homosexuality, were dwelling in that man.

Jesus healed him. Of course, another part of the user's claim is self-refuting: if any homosexual would have been "executed ASAP" in Jesus' day, then there wouldn't have been any homosexuals around to perform miracles on!

Jesus paid the price for - and forgave - all sin: past, present, and future.

Yes, those sins - like any/all sin - separate an unbeliever from God. God cannot dwell with that sin, and we are (without Jesus) enemies of God.

But now that salvation has come, no sin sends a believer to hell. The only sin now is refusing to believe in the perfect, once-for-all-time sacrifice of Jesus.
