Everyone dies, not just same sex couples. The fact that God is not all forgiving contradicts God as forgiving. I thought Jesus took care of that.
Sons of Glory said that me and my sweetheart wont end up in hell and you imply that we will not enter into the kingdom of God. Where do gay couples end up? I hope it's in a land of unicorns and fairies so I don't have to deal with people who threaten homosexuals for using God to condemn them.
still don't see God stating it's a sin clearly, only writers in the bible who are interpreted by later readers that it's a sin.

And that pretty much sums up where things stand on this thread (bolded quotes above).
Not much good presenting you with things from the Bible . . . because you don't believe it's veracity. So ultimately this kind of discussion is futile . . .
However, if the Bible is indeed the word of God, then the verses conveyed by various ones on here, will have some impact. Maybe not immediately apparent now, but He says, "My word will not return unto me void." So, I pray, let us let the word and the Spirit do it's work in people's hearts, and shine loving light as He may!
And a word on hell and the kingdom. Christians - those who have Christ's life in them - are not eternally damned. We are His children. However, there is still accountability for Christians, as the word says, "For things done in the body." Therefore there are rewards for what we do on earth now, or there may be loss, but not eternal fire.
