9 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 homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will 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 and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (New King James Version)
According to a plain reading of this, this is saying to me that anyone who is homosexual is immediately disqualified from going to heaven. Is this a correct reading of these verses or is there something more to it? Because I'm reading and it says homosexuals won't go to heaven, and it says that the group that will is "were" specifically use of the word "were" in v 11.
