Oh ok - I read an interview online (quite some time ago too) - that said he'd died and his son had "taken up the cause" - the interviewer had phoned him up and noted in the interview he was more subdued than his father was.

If anyone knows they are in sin (or fools themselves they are not) and doesn't make the slightest effort to turn away from it (repent), the Bible says quite clearly... that He will reward every man according to the works done in our bodies.

It also speaks of Heaven being a reward for the righteous.

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

And speaking of righteousness... Romans 1:17-18 says:

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

It goes on to tell us *who* holds the "truth in unrighteousness", but first tells us these people have "their foolish heart darkened" and think they are wise, when really they are fools. Then it points the finger directly at them starting in verse 24...

Homoloveuals - who are idolators - who have vile affections - and who do what is against nature. If we had any doubt about who is meant, verse 27 tells us clearly... "men leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; *MEN* WITH *MEN*"...

Then a bunch of other things are mentioned - and verse 32 says although they KNOW the judgement of God, that they are worthy of rest - they not only continue to practice their evil, but find pleasure in buttociating with others who do practice the same evil things.

Seems pretty clear to me.
