Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, NOR HOMOSEXUALS, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. –1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV)–

Justin and Brian were invited, the two married gay men at the center of all the controversy. And I’m sure that you’ve read all about that. And here’s the thing about Brian and Justin: their stories and their journeys of growing up in church and maintaining their faith in Christ and their commitment to follow Christ all through their high school and college and singles and all up to the time that they were married, their story is so powerful for parents of gay especially kids, that it’s a story gay parents and gay kids need to hear. –Andy Stanley, the Son of Charles Stanley–
20 BE NOT AMONG WINEBIBBERS; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For THE DRUNKARD AND THE GLUTTON SHALL COME TO POVERTY: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. 22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. 23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. 24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 27 For A WHORE IS A DEEP DITCH; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28 SHE ALSO LIETH IN WAIT AS FOR A PREY, AND INCREASETH THE TRANSGRESSORS AMONG MEN. 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? WHO HATH REDNESS OF EYES? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last IT BITETH LIKE A SERPENT, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold STRANGE WOMEN, and THINE HEART SHALL UTTER PERVERSE THINGS. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 THEY HAVE STRICKEN ME, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; THEY HAVE BEATEN ME, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I WILL SEEK IT YET AGAIN.

There were also FALSE PROPHETS among the people, just as there will be FALSE TEACHERS among you…They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to CAROUSE in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their PLEASURES while they feast with you. With EYES FULL OF ADULTERY, they NEVER STOP SINNING; they SEDUCE the unstable; they are EXPERTS IN GREED—an accursed brood! –2 Peter 2:1, 13-14 (NIV)–
Certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who PERVERT THE GRACE of our God into A LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord…In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to SEXUAL IMMORALITY and PERVERSION. They serve as an example of those who SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT OF ETERNAL FIRE. In the very same way, on the strength of their DREAMS these UNGODLY PEOPLE pollute their own BODIES, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. –Jude 1:4, 7-8 (NIV)–
