How do you suppose Jesus would respond to the homosexual lifestyle?

III. The Extreme Reach of the Exchange, 23-32 A. They exchanged the reality of the unseen God for images. The entire unseen world of God has been dismissed. This is a perversion of the idea of God. God has been redefined. God is no longer perceived as an unseen element. The idea of God is now...

B. The descent into homosexuality, 26-27 “Their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural. In the same way also, the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their...

II. In Verses 24-32, We See that Reduction to the Lowest Element Always Forces the Hand of God. Now, what I am going to do first is give you an overview of what is happening in verses 18-32 and then we will examine each of the four stages of decline in their proper order. “Therefore, God gave...

C. Reduction to the lowest element is the result of the human mind separating itself from God. This reduction then gives birth to the idea of natural causality. 1. Natural causality is a false idea generated by man about God and reality. In other words, God is no longer perceived as the...

B. We can also generalize here that the suppression of truth creates a terminal condition. 1. “They became futile in their speculations.” Their way of thinking had become the primary problem, but they perceived it as an advantage because they regarded their thinking as wisdom having professed...

By Dr. J. M. Strawn and oldhermit. I. Incline to the Lowest Element, 18-32 What I want to do in Romans 1:18-32 is two-fold. First, I want us to read these verses as if Paul were talking just to us, to our society, to our nation, to our culture. I want us to read these verses as if God is...

"Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted." Gal. 6:1. " "Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be...

You are completely missing the point friend. It is not we who are judging, it is the word of God. All we are doing is showing what scripture has to say about homosexuality, those who practice it, and those who stand in its defense. God has left no doubt about how he feels about homosexuality and...

The bottom line people, is that one can either embrace homosexuality or one can embrace Christ. One cannot embrace both, no matter how passionately one may feel to the contrary. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and...

No, Jesus never accepts anyone one their own terms. Jesus laid down absolute criteria by which he will accept sinners. One of those requirements is that the sinner must repent of his sins and change. One cannot claim to be a follower of Christ and continue to hold on to his sinful practices. If...

Numbers 17 does not say that Moses went into the holy of holies. What it says is that Moses was commanded to place the rods in the tent of meeting. This was the sanctuary that contained the alter of incense, the table of show bread, and the candlestick. The tent of meeting is always distinct...

That was an entirely different thing. That was when Moses' tent served as the tent of meeting at Sinai before the tabernacle was built. Moses never went beyond the second veil of the tabernacle.

It is true that only the high priest was permitted to enter beyond the veil and only once a year on the Day of Atonement. Absolutely no one else was ever permitted beyond the veil under any circumstances.

That is not what I am talking about Willie. Of course we must embrace the sinner who repents as the son did in the parable. What I am talking about the acceptance of the lifestyle by those in the 'so-called' Christianity. This is unacceptable.

I really do not care what the world does or accepts. I expect the world to behave this way. It is no surprise when the world behave ungodly, but when it begin to be embraced, accepted, and defended by the Christian community, then that is another matter entirely. For those who may not know any...

With the exponential rise of defenders of homosexuality in the world, I cannot help but wonder how it is that many who claim to be of the Christian community can defend this lifestyle so fervently. I suppose I will never be able to understand why anyone who claims to be a Christian can feel...

Do not confuse speculation with curiosity. The only thing that produces faith is revelation...nothing else. As Paul reminds us, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Rom. 10:17.

No, faith is not based on speculation. Faith is based on revelation. Revelation is the sole product of the mind of God. Faith then is rooted in what is presented to us from the mind of God - the Bible, which is the surface form of the absolute intelligence.

Yes, and the most obvious thing in reading scripture is the language of the text. People blatantly disregard the plane language of scripture in favor of speculation and human imagination. To them, truth is not in what scripture says but what it does not say.
