CAUTION:

Or 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 effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NASB)

I myself am redeemed by the Lord from most all of the trespasses listed above. Paul counted himself as the "chief sinner." God takes a rough diamond and makes it beautiful. Repent & believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is an open invitation yet today.

"Whomsoever falls upon this Rock shall be broken; on whomsoever this Rock falls upon shall be shattered."
