1 Corinthians 6:9-10

(9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Leviticus 18:22

(22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Up to here it's all deliberately false translations.

Romans 1:26-27

(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

King James Version

It has been demonstrated that Romans 1:18-2:29 was written later by someone else and inserted into Romans (I think it even continues until 3:21, because the beginning of chapter 3 is still strange and 3:22 would be a very smooth transition from 1:17). This is clear based on style, the sudden shift in tone and audience and back again, and contradicting Paul's beliefs (especially chapter 2's statement that justification is by works of the Law).

Nevertheless, what Paul thinks of something doesn't matter, unless he successfully makes an argument for his case (which he does many times, but not here). Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
