That last part of His words is a very good question. "How will you escape being condemned to hell?" Let's ask a homosexual that and see what the reply would be.
(Sigh).
How will I "escape hell" as in that verse?
Let's "twist the scriptures" and look at who Jesus is speaking to, and why:
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
It says that he is talking to the Pharisees and scribes, people who claim to worship God, who on the outside, study the law, worship God, go to temple, but inside, are evil.
So, I would answer, he isn't talking about me, dude. He's talking to those that are hypocrites, specifically, those who say one thing, and do another, those who claim to love God, but act malicious against their neighbor, those, those who say they believe in the bible, then twist it, and pretend that a Pharisee and a Scribe in the times of Jesus, who had seats of honor, were not thought of as sinners, and respected, is the same as a homosexual today.
In other words, how can you escape the blame for your blatant attempt at misrepresenting scripture, and misportraying God willfully?
