1 Corinthians 6:9-10
World English Bible
9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God's Kingdom? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God's Kingdom.

^ You're absolutely right, that is a direct quote, it is doctrine. What qualifies as sexually immoral, though? Is hard core S&M moral under the bonds of marriage, but a sweet little roll in the hay with your significant other immoral, and therefore you'll be tortured eternally because of it? Seems vague to me. I figure under those rules virtually all of us are f**ked.

But if you read further, Paul says: "And such were some of you, but you have been saved . . . "

Acts 22:12-15 NKJV

12 "Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there, 13 came to me; and he stood and said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' And at that same hour I looked up at him. 14 Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. 15 For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

Romans 5:6-8
New King James Version
Christ in Our Place

6 For when we were still without strength, [a]in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
