Jesus will decide who is a believer, and reward all those who trust in Him. We are saved by grace through faith, not by being perfect.
However, is it not a bit strange for the Democrats to be frothing at the mouth about Trump's morality, while they applaud something the Bible clearly condemns?
Those who support homosexual marriage have clearly decided to move beyond Biblical moral standards. They do it by claims to human sexuality being determined by feelings and hormones, instead of the standard of male or female based upon physical sexual development.
Sure, there are some people who are born sexually indeterminate. There is a group in India, the Hijra,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijra_(South_Asia),
who claim as their community all who are born indeterminate, and males who have been castrated.
They dress as women, practice sexual immorality, and are very aggressive beggars. We are blessed to have taught and encouraged a community from the Hijra to become believers in Jesus in the great city of Mumbai, India. These believers stop practicing sexual immorality, and learn to live productive lives.
The Bible teaches sexual abstinence for all except man married to woman. We (believers) are not to be led by feelings, nor by popular opinions, but by Bible teaching we believe has been given us by the Power of YHWH, by the Holy Spirit who inspired the writings of the scriptures accepted by first century believers as being inspired.
This understanding produces a clear divide between those who believe that the Scriptures in the original languages were given by God and are our guide for today's moral teaching, and those who discount the authenticity and authority of the Bible.
We (who believe the Bible) refuse to compromise moral instruction clearly revealed in the Bible. The rejection of the practice of homosexuality is clearly established in scripture. Beginning with Lot at Sodom and Gomorrah, continuing with the story of the man and his concubine, and clear teaching by Apostle Paul in his letters to believers, the practice of homosexual intercourse is condemned.
Gibeah's Crime Judges 18
Judges 18:22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, worthless fellows, surrounded the house, beating on the door. And they said to the old man, the master of the house, “Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him.”
Adam's Descendants to Noah
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man[a] when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son 29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed, this one shall bring us relief[d] from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” 30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen 9:20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.[c] 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan;
a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
Lev 18:20 And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make yourself unclean with her. 21 You shall not give any of your children to offer them[b] to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Jesus will decide who is a believer, and reward all those who trust in Him. We are saved by grace through faith, not by being perfect.

The history of homosexual practice as part of pagan worship is well established, and contributed to the corruption of Greek and Roman society.
From the beginning, the Creator intended for man and woman to join together in a union that would produce righteous offspring, so that the family becomes the foundation of useful society.
Adam's Descendants to Noah
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man[a] when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
After the flood, there is a sexual immorality problem with Ham, son of Noah. From the language used, it is likely that Ham sexually assaulted his drunk father.
Gen 9:20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.[c] 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan;
a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
The Law of Moses condemned homosexual intercourse.
Lev 18:20 And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make yourself unclean with her. 21 You shall not give any of your children to offer them[b] to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
Apostle Paul made it very clear in his letters that homosexual intercourse is not to be practiced by believers who are actually following Jesus.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.

Paul instructed believers at Corinth to avoid sexual immorality, specifically mentioning men who practice homosexuality.
1 Cor 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous[b] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[c] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
So Pete claims to be a Christian, and openly practices homosexual marriage. And he won the Iowa caucuses for Democratic candidate for President of the USA.
Yet radical Democrats take pleasure in attacking Evangelical Christians who support Donald Trump, because Trump is rude, crude, and unattractive. Yes, Trump has moral baggage, but at least he is married to a woman. And he is against killing babies.
Time for a wake up call. Whose side are you on??? The choice is between respect for God's moral laws given through the Bible, and respected by true believers as God's Word, or humanity's support of feel good society which rejects God's authority and pushes the political correct agenda, while promoting abortion and killing of babies.
Is it "He's impeached forever" or "I have been acquitted!"
Surely it is time to do some more things that are useful to society.
Let's bury hatred and give life to good will. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
