No wonder you guys are hung up on Practicing
1 Timothy 1:9-10, TNIV
9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers. And it is for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
Should we change the rest of the Bible to Practicing Murderers, practicing liars and so on?
According to the NIV it is people who offend homo's, they won't inherit the kingdom!
1 Corinthians 6:9-10, in the NIV:
Surely you know that the people who do wrong will not inherit God's kingdom. Do not be fooled. Those who sin sexually, worship idols, take part in adultery, those who are male prostitutes, or homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Sodomite is the Bible word unless it has been excised of anything pertaining to sex perverts like the NIV that had two practicing perverts on the commitee. Go ahead try to find anything against perverts in that book. Remodeling before they move in?
No wonder you think the KJV is inspired -- it may be the only translation that translates the Hebrew word (qadesh) "sodomites." Such is not the case in the New KJV, NIV, NASV -- probably the RSV. The reason? Because "qadesh" actually references the act of sodomy AND prostitution in pagan religious services. The translation "sodomite" is much to limiting as a translation.
