I believe that we do not need to wait till 'we get there' to know the will of God, if we would accept humbleness before our Maker than we can know his will, after all he is very open to our questions and he most certainly answers them...
Are you aware of a study carried out quite recently on religioustolerance.org, to test whether we can discover God's will? Religious conservatives were asked to pray to find out God's will regarding a topical issue - same-sex marriages. They reported back on what they believed God's response was to their question.
Now, if God has a will regarding same-sex marriages, you'd think all these people would report back the same result - yay or nay. Yet, even those who were adamant that they *were* reporting back God's will after sincere prayer, had conflicting answers from God.
So - how do you discover the will of God? Certainly not through prayer.

Re: ask yourself
God hates the sin and loves the sinner... thank God heaven is not about our sex or food or drinking or rules.. but that it is by faith in God, the willingness to humble ourselves before our Creator
If getting into heaven is only a matter of faith, then why does God have so many rules and prohibitions?

Re: ask yourself
I will say homosexuality is certainly a sin
Can animals sin? If homosexuality is an abomination, why does God let his animal creations indulge in it?

Re: ask yourself
If you were to read the bible you would see that we only in truth have one maybe two rules.. first is to believen his only begotten son Jesus the Christ and second is to love each other as he loved us.
Hmm... well, is it one, or is it two? You don't seem so sure.
If there is only one or maybe two rules, I presume this means that we can ignore the rule about homosexuality. And the one about stealing. And the one about murder. And the one about adultery...
