#18: Arsenokoitai

The Greek word in 1 Corinthians 6:9 is arsenokoitai. Some will try to say that this doesn't mean homosexual.

There's nothing else it can mean.

Look at the word,

Arsen - which means man. Plain clear.
Koite - bed (the marriage bed in particular) and sexual intercourse

arsenokoitai means a man who engages in man-sex.

So that Bauer's lexicon reads, "a male who practices homosexuality, pederast, sodomite."

The person who practices homosexual activity has no place in the kingdom of heaven.

Number 1: 1 Corinthians 6:9

We read in 1 Corinthians Chapter 6 verse 9

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders"

Do those who have no place in the kingdom of heaven have any place in the church?

The church has always welcomed repentant sinners. The church is full of reformed sinners, in fact the church is made up of repentant sionners, that's what it is. But there is no place in the church for unrepentant sinners.
