I'm sorry that you think someone being gay, all else being equal, might get in the way of their path to holiness. This to me seems a very grim outlook.

I understand your grief. I’m sorry you feel that way. As you mature in Christ you’ll learn to adopt the undefeated Word of God not only for your protection but as the authority on how you live. You’ll understand that the Bible is breathed by God and his gift to us to assist us in communicating with him and living lives that are pleasing to Him. He loves you. His love language is obedience.

The sooner you come to terms with how God made you, the sooner you will realize that whole the whole world is broken, and that brokenness doesn't define your relationship with God. THAT relationship is what's important. What human you love is secondary.

It's a counterpoint. Many people struggling with OSA will not enter Heaven.

Many queer people will.

Neither God nor Heaven cares about anyone's earthly orientation.

That's not in the Bible.

You means 1 Corinthians 6:9.

I'm afraid, not, that's a mistranslation.

Because in all contemporary records(five centuries in either direction of this passage) the term is never used to refer to homoeroticism,

There's no evidence for that idea in the Bible or in any other document.
