>>In the New Testament, the context of prohibition is against any behavior that supplants God as an object of worship.

Here's the scripture mentioned - 1Corinthians 6:9-11. You can judge the meaning.

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And 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.

Note that folks of all types are welcomed into the kingdom of God. However, God's goal is for sinners to be sanctified. It is not for them to perpetually hang on to their coveting, thievery, adultery, homosexuality, etc.


When you break the big laws, you do not get freedom; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.
- G.K. Chesterton, Daily News, 7/29/1905
