Now, here is the deal, from God's perspectives.

Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers—none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

please notice that it is mentioned that the word some is used, in the above scripture, not all.

All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.
