"Our Bodies"I've been thinking about these sexual sins for some time now, and satan has really done a number on our country, and others, by fanning the flames of sex and drawing mankind into a fire over perversion. Sex is great and was created by God, but it was created for marriage and that marriage between a man and a woman. Sex was also created for procreation, and a procreation involving a family with a mother and a father. But look what satan has done. He has taken the emotionally charged aspect of sex and turned it against us. Illicit sex is all over the TV and movies. Small children in public schools are being indoctrinated into the perverted aspects of sexuality. Preaching against gays can be a "hate crime." Ministers are having to leave the church for having affairs. Gays are filling pulpits today and promoting the gay lifestyle. The "litmus test" for a liberal running for political office is their stance on abortion and allowing it to continue. Support for gay marriage is also fast becoming another "litmus test" for achieving high political office. America loves their sexual sins and we are fast becoming the Sodom and Gomorah of the world. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romans Chapter One: God’s Wrath Against Mankind
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
