Ever hear of Lilith? "
Yes, but it is not found in Genesis, but Isaiah 34:14, and it means a screech owl, not a human woman.

Isa 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

Isa 34:14 ופגשׁו ציים את־איים ושׂעיר על־רעהו יקרא אך־שׁם הרגיעה לילית ומצאה לה מנוח׃

The surrounding context even shows this:

Isa 34:11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.​
Isa 34:13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.​
Isa 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.​
Isa 34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.​

An owl is an unclean night bird, which is the natural, but in the spiritual meaning, represents a fallen angel, a devil, an unclean spirit (intelligence) of darkness.

No.


I don’t find Lilith in Scripture.

Isa 34:
[14] The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
The Hebrew word for owl is her.

Jude 1:7

GOD’S WORD Translation

7 What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them is an example for us of the punishment of eternal fire. The people of these cities suffered the same fate that God’s people and the angels did, because they committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities.

Romans 1
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 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.

The phrase “without natural affection” comes from one Greek word (astorgos) that is found in only one other place in the Bible– Romans 1:31. It means exactly what it says, “unsociable”, “unloving”, “inhuman”. It is the absence of the kind of love for family that is instinctive. It is NOT eros kind of love. Please stop wresting scripture out of context in order to appease your obvious bias.
Creepy !

Everyone knows that un natural relationships are a work of the Devil. One does not abuse ones Wife nor does a Wife abuse herself, because both will fall into a pit.

My wife recorded Play boy Hero Hefner, so my Wife and I was just watching H Hefner, the 3 series now that I have seen, this is his women and some men talking out, now that the monster is dead !
I believe that the top women were monsters themselves.

Typical of how many in show business are total Trash Demonic !

That's without natural affection ? H Hefner is seen as loving and sociable but in reality one can see such is not true at all in reality. Such a one is depraved totally depraved in fact. What does he and such do to such people ? it's not natural regarding God at all but is an attack at God.

All attacks on God are of Satan. They lure people in, they drug them they play every trick in the book to dominate over others.

I am sure they believe it's Love ? but do they truly understand what real Love is ? Abuse is Abuse regardless, so they are taking such that is un Godly ! Acts of Sodomy are 100% Anti-Christ and such are wagers of Sin = Death ! everyone who is worthy totally understands Sodomy is a carnal Sin, one can not be saved ! they must be taken out ! for the good of all ! God said so in fact !

Once one is depraved you will see that they demand depravity from others. I have seen such in people. and if I tell them the facts then that is like casting pearls before them and they will only go on the attack. Now I ask myself why is that ? well I believe such depravity is due to the ego in fact, they feel empowered by doing such acts, because they are laughing like a Mutt on the loose, a Wolf wanting to devour for the thrill. Telling everyone that Sexual depravity is the norm !
Don't worry I have had young people want to punch my head in for just pointing out that they are the lowest of the low for their own good ? You see they turn on you in fear for their miserable lives being exposed as nothing but total Trash !

But they are so proud of themselves because they are living a Lie ! and so delusional that it's totally pathetic. Boasting of sexual depravity is not Love at all.

Gay people are predatory, because they are slaves to Satan in fact. Such a one can not enter into the Kingdom of God in fact as the Bible says so.
Not to mention anyone who does not call them out on the issue is on the path to Hell as well in fact.
Wrong is wrong regardless !

The Jews Gods people pointed such out and they are the foundations of our blueprint, they were not wrong as to God, the NT is not another religion it is one in the same. but under Grace ! that's the difference.
We do not kill such but we do not prop them up ! so as too go around like wolfs devouring others. That's what is Love of thy neighbour is all about.

The Greek word “astorgos”​

Found just twice in the New Testament (Rom. 1:31; 2 Tim. 3:3), the Greek adjective “astorgos” meant “without natural affection,” “heartless,” “inhuman,” “unloving.” Paul used this term “in vice catalogs” (Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament, 1:174). Examples of without natural affection in ancient times included exposing unwanted infants to the elements and thus death, plus drowning sick and deformed children."

Rom 1:31 - Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, G794 implacable, unmerciful:
Tools

Ti 3:3 - Without natural affection, G794 trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

You're going to have to forgive gays and transexuals. Yes it is a sin, but Jesus told us to forgive prostitutes and corrupt tax officials, so we have an obligation to forgive other sinners too. Think of them as people who are spiritually disabled. You wouldn't think you're better than someone because they're in a wheelchair, so don't think you're better than sinners either because that is a greater sin than what they're doing. Treat a sinner like someone in a wheelchair, give them help if they ask for it, but if they want to be independent, wish them your blessings and let them be independent. God gave people the free will to live their lives as they desire.

It is not my place to forgive them that is God's place. My place is to love them for Jesus.

Not true ! God does not forgive them who have no regard relating to Sin in fact.

One who comes to take advantage of another in Sin ? is never forgiven ! unless such a one truly repents of that Sin.

Two wrongs do not make a right !

One has a desire to speed reckless through a crowded Town street with no regard to anyone at all ? does one give them a blessing ? Look he does such all the time, as the poor little darling can not help himself in doing so ? Public menace number one ! Their is no excuse at all for such disregard for others ! The same for morons who spread the Pox AIDS you name it, pandering to a wrong or evil is no excuse regardless.
People who promote Sodom are going to Hell ! for they have proven they are of Satan.
