There is zero doubt that God in His Book condemns homosexuality. Period. No discussion.

At the same time Apostle Paul said this: 1 Co 5: 9

I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people--

10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother

but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.

With such a man do not even eat. 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

“With such a man do not eat.”

This is, I humbly submit, in an explicit Christian fellowship context. It has nothing to do with ministry to frank unbelievers. Christ showed what that looked like, and got called a glutton and a drunkard for His trouble.

Some people get so irritated with the notorious and difficult problem of homosexuality that they will drag out any verse that seems to damn them, to keep from looking like they are cheering that sin on. That’s going along with Satan’s temptation, however. Did Christ die for those sinners too? The bible answer is yes, but Satan is busy screaming in Christendom’s ears, NO NO NO.
