“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women & were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, & received in themselves the due penalty of their PERVERSION.” –Rom. 1:26,27, NIV.
[NIV footnote on vs.27: “Homosexual practice is SINFUL in God’s eyes. The O.T. also condemns the practice (see Lev. 18:22).”];
“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, & receiving in themselves that recompence of their ERROR.” -Rom. 1:26,27, KJV;

“For this reason, God gave them over & abandoned them to vile affections & degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural & abnormal one; And the men also turned from natural relations with women & were set ablaze (burned out, consumed) with lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men & suffering in their own bodies & personalities the inevitable consequences & penalty of their WRONG DOING & going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.” – Rom. 1:26,27, Amp.

No matter which Bible version one reads, homosexuality, i.e. Sodomy & lesbianism is CONDEMNED! End of argument.
We find the words ERROR & PERVERSION et al. mentioned: ERROR: Greek, planē/planos, means “astraying from orthodoxy or piety: – deceit, to deceive, delusion, error, raving, i.e. an impostor or misleader: – deceiver, seducing” (Strong’s #4106, 4108).
We hear so much about “gender binary” these days. You would think the human race has just now discovered the secrets of sex. WOW! A man can claim he is now a woman; A woman can claim she is a man. Ho hum! How utterly STUPID & REBELLIOUS! The babbling about LGBTQIA BS is literally sickening: the misinterpretation of Scripture by the LGBTQIA folks is likewise sickening.
With the latest act of REBELLION coming from the Methodists, the controversy over homosexuality has reached Fahrenheit 212°. Tempers are BOILING! This world-wide denomination has struck down the prohibitions against sodomy (i.e. LGBTQIA+ stuff).
Our “target” texts – Romans one, vss. 26 & 27 – are plain and need not to be debated. But the LGBTQIA+ “Christians” demand & command we interpret them to fit their LUSTS/PERVERSIONS.
And, for the record, Paul’s “vice” list in 1 Cor. 6:9,10 includes (sex) fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, & sodomites. Idolatry could be thrown into the mix, for the LGBTQIA+ peoples WORSHIP their form of sexual perversion. Please tell me HOW it is that they exclude unnatural sexing from the rest of the list… seeing they will keep the guilty out of the kingdom? Why did Paul list homosexuality/sodomy among other sinful vices/lifestyles if he did not believe they too were SINFUL?
The NKJV lists 10 vices/lifestyles that will KEEP those who do/practice them OUT of God’s Kingdom.
Paul makes it CLEAR that “sexual immorality” is a SIN! (1 Cor. 6:18-7:2).
When Jesus spoke (e.g. Mt. 19:4) about marriage & about God’s Creation, He spoke of only two sexes: male & female (19:4), meaning a man/male & a woman/female were to be joined in marriage, not man/man & woman/woman! PERIOD! Jesus did not need to address lesbianism/male homosexuality. Please note His words: “Have you not read (O.T.) that He who made them at the beginning made them male & female.” Jesus referred back to the creation of the human race (Gen. 1:27; 2:7; 5:2 etc.). Romans 1:26,27 tells us what we need to know about sexual perverts & sexual perversions. Shame on the Methodists for their utter CONTEMPT for God’s condemnation. The United Methodist Church (UNC) have finally capitulated to the “Cultural Norms” of the day. “Hey, we’re Gay!” We’re not a bit impressed!!! The danger of syncretism, i.e. the BLENDING of different beliefs & practices, within Christian faith. If you belong to this UMC RUN for the exit!
In prayer this morning (over this capitulation), the Spirit revealed to us that God was going to PLAGUE those who adhere to this QUEER/STRANGE UNHOLY FIRE. Many that belong to the UMC are leaving, Praise the Lord!
UMC is NOW part of the LGBTQIA /UMC family of perverts. This denomination has bit the dust, i.e. become totally APOSTATE.
We have cried out against this “Queer” movement for years now (go back and read our first printed publications in 1981). We started crying out in public in 1971 when we were new believers.
The call to “Come out of her my people” is sounding LOUD & CLEAR. The “stay in” had its place (called to “sharpen one another”) stay in & receive of her plagues if you want: God wants those who still believe sodomy et al. is a sin need not linger. This church has had decades to decide on what the Holy Scriptures actually teach: They DO NOT teach sexual perversions are ok with God.
Let me be plain here: not all Methodists are of the UMC, and not all agree with this “Cultural Damnation.” When Jesus discussed adultery, He made no distinction between the thought & the deed. The LGBTQIA+ “Christians” try and convince us that feelings /thoughts are not the same as the deed. Well, Jesus stated: “you heard that it was said, ‘you shall not commit adultery’ (deed). But as for Myself, I am saying to you, ‘everyone who is looking at a woman in order to indulge his sexual passion for her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.” – Mt. 5:27,28. This principle applies to the LGBTQ+ disciples.
If one dwells on sexual perversions long enough, one will eventually do the deed. In Romans one God delivered them over in the passionate cravings/lusts of their hearts to bestial profligacy which had for its purpose the DISHONORING of their bodies among themselves. God never created men/women to engage in bestial (i.e. vile behavior) sex. This kind of sexing will RUIN one. Unnatural sexing is immoral and shameless, extremely vile & will land one in HELL if one continues in that lifestyle.
Jesus also said anger is the same as murder. The LGBTQIA+ “Christians” TWIST the Scriptures in order to justify their SINS of ABOMINATION. If Paul said adultery/fornication will keep one OUT of Heaven, it goes without saying UN-natural sexing will also. One person has said, “Being straight is not a sin. Being gay is not choice.”
Fewer & fewer people – Christian & pagan are buying this Pink BS! Your fallacious un-Biblical reasoning is really disturbing.
When one starts debating known revelation one will find himself/herself on the wrong side of God. This whole “perversion” debate distracts from the purpose of the Gospel: to preach salvation to the lost. The church itself must teach from the Scriptures, exegesis, not from what we want Scripture to say, eisegesis. We do not owe our loyalty to one particular organization or denomination or church but Christ ALONE.
As for me, I gave my life to Christ in a Methodist church at the age 16 (KY). But I’m so ashamed of this denomination. True, there are good saved folks in this church but the devil has infiltrated it, contaminated it with “Pink Stink!”
Pride Month is truly disgusting. To start, “PRIDE” is an ABOMINATION to God. Celebrating sexual perversion is an ABOMINATION. What an affront to God’s name to claim He accepts what His Word rejects.
While it is true that we are free moral agents – choose good or evil – we, as Christians, have the obligation to preach/teach/witness for Christ Jesus. If people want to live the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle, hey, I’m not going to try and force my Christian faith on them; I will however tell them what God’s Word declares on this subject. This is love, not homophobia.
Would you like to live in a world where men/women, boys/girls do as they “feel?” That “vice” list in 1 Cor. 6 for instance: would we want thieves to steal without consequence? How about drunkards – do whatever enters their drunken minds – kill, rape, steal, et al. crimes. What about fornicators, rape, molesters, harm without restraint, what about the “vice” list Jesus put forth in Mark 7:21,22: “evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders…” say, will you be comfortable with murderers who have a craving/lust/desire to MURDER those of the LGBTQIA+ camp. If you can dismiss God’s condemnation against your sexual perversion, why would you not dismiss the crime & sin of murder? Read all the rest of those “defilements.” Do you want a world with no prohibitions at all? If you want God to bless/honor your lust/desires/passions for unnatural sexual sins, will you not want others also to ENJOY their crimes/sins as well?
You may believe same-sex attractions are from God, but will you believe murderers who are murdering LGBTQIA+ people are also from God? They too have urges as you. If we wanted to make a real issue here, we need to focus on temperament/character, not gender etc.
And, in ending this short article, you LGBTQIA+ folks need to STOP comparing the obsolete Jewish dietary/ritual laws with God’s timeless moral laws: The New Testament Christian church is not obligated to follow obsolete Jewish traditions/laws BUT we are obligated to follow God’s moral laws.
I have dozens of publications, DVDs etc. on Homosexuality et al. My “Gay Way” magazines are loaded with Biblically researched articles. (note: After our arrest (in 2017) & prison, our free materials were locked down, therefore we can’t send out many (we have a small arsenal though) packs like we once did. I’ve been trying to post subject articles for our followers).
One last thing, get it out of your heads that the destruction of Sodom/Gomorrah was because of inhospitable, not because of sex-sins.
Q. Are you disgusted with your “gay” supporting church?
A. Many are!
If you belong to one of the many gay affirming churches, which basically starve their congregations of spiritual manna, feeding them humanistic “junk food,” i.e. “Devil’s food,” you are not obligated to DIE with the rebellious.
Any church, gay or straight, that embrace anti-Biblical teachings are abominable! It is time for REVOLUTION… the overthrow or repudiation & thorough replacement of an established organization/denomination with Biblical principles… whereby the Holy Spirit is allowed to rule & reign.
If a revolution is unlikely because of “fear of the queer!” it is time to LEAVE. There is NO way to sanctify sexual sins. NO way! Put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig. You need not become a prostitute ruled by a pulpit pimp (gay minister). If you are in a straight church, you do not need to become a whore or whoremonger ruled by a pulpit pimp. You need not be partakers of their plagues, their pretention, their prostitution. The Bible tells us to “FLEE SEXUAL IMMORALITY” – 1 Cor. 6:18. 1 Cor. 10:14 tells us to “FLEE from IDOLATRY.” Paul was referring to “sexual immorality” (1 Cor. 10:8).
The Greek word, FLEE is pheugō, which means “to RUN AWAY (lit. or fig.), shun, vanish, escape.”
If any church (Gk., Ekklesia) teaches/preaches “another Jesus” practices what Scripture forbids (e.g. sexual sins), GET OUT! After all, does not the word “Ekklesia” lit. mean “called OUT?” Yep. Sure does. The Spirit calls us out of the world, aka “Old World Order.” If or when a church goes reprobate/apostate, the same Spirit will call us OUT of that mess. Open your spiritual ears & eyes. Obey God – FLEE SEXUAL IMMORALITY.
