1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
How many threads are you wearing? Do you kill your kids when they dont obey you? Think owning slaves is fine as long as they survive a couple days after you beat them?
Is that the "lay with another man" bit? I'm pretty sure there's arguments over the original text, and scholars think it originally meant "don't have sex with little boys" not don't have sex with men.
It's very specific, and it's in many places across the entire Bible. It's written with the same concept, in different ways, leaving no room for misinterpretation when you read the entire thing.

Romans 1:26-27 (NIV):
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV):
1 Timothy 1:9-10 (NIV):
