"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
Today's quote relates a list of the things that caused God to remove the "chosen" status from the Jews.
Mankind has always been guilty of this list of abominations. Today's text describes the mind set of the majority of the world's population today, including most of those hypocrites who present themselves as "Christians".
This lesson also exposes the idiocy of those who contend that homosexuality is "natural", as Paul so clearly states: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;". Herein we find that God has already turned those who practice these abominable sins, over to a "reprobate" mind.
The dictionary defines "reprobate" as; "a depraved, unprincipled, or wicked person: a person rejected by God and beyond hope of salvation."
Therefore, scriptural justification for ANY of the above listed acts, does NOT exist. Homosexuality CANNOT be tolerated in, or condoned by, the Church, EVER.~
