Sin is sin. However, the church world seems to have two unforgiveable sins: divorce and being gay.

However the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.......Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 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. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

]Can a gay person be a Christian? Sure. So can a guy who has sex with a woman outside of marriage. Personally, if I were gay and wanted to be right with God I'd do my best to not sin. Losing heaven is not worth the pleasures of this world. It's OK to slip and fall. It's not OK to embrace something that the Bible calls sin.

With that said, I really don't have any use for the opinions of people who don't believe in God and/or those who think the Bible is bunk. The Bible says what it says.

I sin and fall short, but I am sure as hell am not going to embrace the things that I know are not pleasing in the sight of God.

I have a gay friend who is a Christian. He struggles. But he does know what his priorities are. Does he slip and fall, sometimes. Does he embrace gay sex? Nope.

Sure Jesus can save gay people , but when It come to the Baptism of Holy Spirit people may have to decide which God they may choose whether it is the living God through Lord Jesus or the spirit of lust which is not of God , because the gifts of Holy Spirit come with Jesus Holy Spirit indwelling in the Believer bring the gift for ministries of Lord Jesus, and dark spirits of lust would interfere with the authority of the minister , as All Christians have a ministries in their lives for the reward of Christ in their lives .... Still Lord Jesus will get a guy person born again , and the guy person will have to make the choice ....

.
Many would disagree with your assertion.

Christians in general understand that the only "unforgivable sin" is willful rejection of God's mercy and forgiveness.

Divorce and homosexuality are certainly forgivable.

The verse you quoted said that homosexuals won't get into heaven. I am a homosexual whether I am having sex or not.
