On an off topic: The Virgin, do you believe God will accept you into his heart as a gay person?

Disclaimer: I fully support gay people and am always torn about whether its allowed by God or not. Personally I think it has to be, it seems to me people are born with it, little children show signs of being gay even! God created us to be imperfect.

Sort of on topic: I'm no theologist, but if you commit a crime such as murder and hate crimes, and do not have God in your heart there is no way you will get into Heaven or be cleansed etc. I'm not entirely sure about reformed murderers etc, but the consensus is that God will look back on an individuals life, weigh up how they behaved, treated others and whether they had any love in their hearts and determine if they deserve an all access pass to heaven or not.

On topic: I believe my life is predestined, but I have no clue into what the destiny is. Some people are given insights into how their destiny will be by being given certain roles to take in life that are important for God. You can argue that free-will is really predestined, but God knows all of us so well that he can pin point we will make certain decisions over others. Some decisions will be good, others bad but it's all about us growing as a person and learning about ourselves. Mistakes happen (drug abuse, prostitution, lying and adultery), however, there is always time to change your ways and give back to others/repent in some form/connect with God.
