Now, how do they justify this writing of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians?
Corinth was a place where sex was a form of worship and sex and church went together. Priests and priestesses were there to be done to or be done by according to history. So Paul, who started the church there wrote them this letter.

1 Corinthians 6:13-20

13. "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16. Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
17. But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20. you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Seems like the "Sexually Inclusive Church" wants to turn the Apostle Paul's work a 180 degrees and make the "Church" back into the former "Corinth" instead of turning the of Corinthians into a "Church."

Amen, Ghost Warrior.

They toss Paul from scripture. While they think I Cor is authentically Paul's, they don't accept Paul's apostleship.
