What does Paul say about homosexuality in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10? Is he saying that those who are gay or lesbian won’t enter God’s kingdom?

How do these verses apply to committed, loving, faithful same-sex relationships?

There is a strong argument that Paul isnt thinking about committed, consenting same sex adults. He’s condemning the terrible abuse which seem to be often covered up or ‘dealt with privately’ by churches. Spotlight’ and the RC come to mind first when we talk about abuse and cover-ups, but it is just as bad closer to home:

Victim: Elder Named in Church Probe Has History of Abuse Cover-up

Pastor On Leave Months After Allegations He Helped Cover Up Relative’s Abuse

John MacArthur’s Church Failed to Report Kidnapper & Child Molester for Two Years

Class-Action Lawsuit Claims RZIM Covered Up Ravi Zacharias’ Abuse, Misled Donors
