"Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
nor thieves, nor {the} covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinithians 6:9-10
This means an un-repentant, practicing gay will NOT go to heaven. Repentance includes STOPPING the sin. Too bad for the gay bishop who left his wife to live in sin with a man.
The Bible is very clear-homosexuality is not just a sin, but an abomnation to God.

The translation of arsenokoitai as "homosexual" in this passage is misleading. It's funny that the Bible translation uses "homosexual," because it is never translated that way in any other text.

I've always wondered why it's not more clear. Is coveting your neighbour's ox a greater sin than homosexuality?
