If the Bible says (it does) that homosexuality is a sin, then former archbishop Desmond Tutu says he will definitely not want to go to heaven.

Speaking in Cape Town at an event sponsored by the UN, Tutu said,

“I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place.”

Translation: Desmond Tutu thinks he knows some things better than God, who, after all, has made it perfectly clear that homosexuality is a sin.

God will not force anyone to enter heaven. He does not like human rebellion – not even that instigated by a former archbishop, either, but calls all people to repent of their sins.
