Working on additional info on the verse in question. Suffice to say the movie is in error.

Here's my research. I went to biblestudytools.com and looked up 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 in the KJV to turn on the research tools. https://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/1-corinthians/passage/?q=1-corinthians+6:9-10A


Click the gear settings and turn on the Strong's numbers. That'll make most of the words in the Bible text turn into links. Click the word "effeminate" and you'll see it's from the Greek word "malakos", which means:


1. soft to the touch (I doubt that's a sin)


2. a catamite (a boy in a pedarasitic relationship with a man, in the Greco-Roman world it was used as a sign of affection)


3. a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man


4. a male who submits his body for unnatural lewdness


5. a male prostitute



Hmmmm.... I think it's pretty clear it means the gay thing ain't good for inheriting God's kingdom. But then, I don't claim to be a theologian, nor have a played one on TV.

The NIV is more explicit “men who have sex with men”. Looks to me like a concerted effort to twist the scripture. Romans Chapter 1 around verse 26 is pretty straightforward also. I have no malice whatsoever to homosexuals and I certainly don’t speak down to them or try to cause them trouble over the issue. But I stand firm in what I believe.

I’ve had a couple of friends of that persuasion. One died from Aids in the early 1980s. One seems to have turned from that lifestyle after a long-term relationship. From what I see, the Bible is clear.

I will swim against the current here and do so as a flaming heterosexual - without reaching the biblical aspects.

What do we do, whether we regard ourselves as Christians or not, with those "who cannot alter their biological state of being"?
(And here I am thinking of what has been imprinted on their psyche while in the womb rather than their physical structure.)
Are we dishonest enough to call them "freaks"?

How many of us have seen toddlers with opposite sex characteristics that later proved our suspicions correct?

Does the statement, "The removal of the LGBTQIA+ person from the sin category is akin to this century’s abolition of racial discrimination and the passing of women’s suffrage." have any credibility?
