    I encourage you to look it up for yourself. The English translations are pretty unequivocal, though there are those who insist they are miss-translated.

    That insistence has not resulted in any of the major English translations shooting different wording.

    Is a good list.

    Of course, none of that matters because gay people should have more rights than any book.

    Bible is pretty clear.

    1 Corinthians 6:9

    Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

    Romans 1:26-27

    For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    As for the "hot and cold", that type of thing is up for interpretation, although I hold that hot water is good and so is cold water. I believe that's what Jesus was referring to.

    The "Camel through an eye of a needle" with the "eye of the needle" being a gate is a total myth made up by the rich to try and justify their greed. Jesus meant what we read it as today. For extra clarification, the original greek even refers to the word "needle" with different words, one is surgical, I believe the other one is fishing related. So it couldn't be a place. Jesus meant what He said - it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven.
