Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankindMaybe in your translation?

If you use the word Christian to describe a follower of Christ, then this is an oxymoron. Perverts go to Hell. Christians go to Heaven. There are no perverted Christians. If this man is a homosexual, he is lost and needs to know it. Maybe then he can become a Christian ex pervert.

P.S. I would not wait long to tell him.. God can punch his ticket before you know it and it will be forever too late.

PERVERT ALERT! Who were the other PERVERTS? "It is often overlooked and even outrightly denied that some of the heroes in the Bible were themselves homosexual."
