The apostle Paul wrote a book in the New Testament of the Bible to new Christians in Rome regarding their conduct and the penalty of it. Scary how many of the things listed below are the very same things we are seeing all around us today – and this was written some 2,000 years ago!
Ever wonder why such behavior seemed to go unmentioned by history since then, and is only now resurfacing? Folks need to understand that God is still in control, even if He occasionally gives us a little time to live how we want (for a while). Participating in things that have been condemned will not go unnoticed. They say ‘if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything’. We as a people are indeed falling…
Consider this passage from Romans 1:18-32
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
It’s not too late to stand up and reject the sinfulness that the world calls ‘normal and good’. Stop looking at church doctrines and look at the Bible to find what God wants from you.
