Wow! What a load of absolute garbage!
All sexual immorality is condemned in God’s word regardless of gender or orientation.
Sexual acts are sanctioned by God in a scriptural marriage between a man and a woman…..it’s the very reason why gender exists….to produce children as an act of love, between two committed people who are beginning a family of their own. In today’s world sex is for pleasure, and pregnancy is seen as a unwanted side effect for them. Good grief!
Homosexuals cannot marry in God’s eyes because their sexual attraction is unnatural. It is the greatest insult to God to place the sacred seed of life in a sewer, which is why male homosexuality gets the most attention. Sex has a noble purpose in a God sanctioned marriage, but aberrant sex is purely to satisfy the fallen flesh. It serves no noble purpose at all.
Women are not missing from Paul’s admonition…..
Romans 1:24-27….
”That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene.”
I don’t know about you, but that scripture seems pretty clear to me…..my lens isn’t fogged up by justification for what God clearly abhors.
Christians who find themselves with gender issues have some serious decisions to make.
Sex is a decision….whereas lust is a product of sinful flesh. We have to know the difference. God has clearly outlined in his word what is acceptable to him and what is not.
Those who love God more than they love themselves will do what he says and make the necessary sacrifices to obey him.
The whole world apart from Christ loves what is perverse and sinful and wicked, and not only encourages what is sinful, but makes it legal.
Well explain the difference then of what I interpreted you to say versus what you said.
Feel free....we are waiting with baited breath.
Even after one third of men on earth have perished,
the remaining two thirds refuse to stop serving demons.
Not a good outlook for those who sin willfully and wantonly.
Some of us are not waiting at all.
The righteous continue to be becoming more righteous;
the wicked continue to be becoming more wicked.
As God Says, So It Is.
God the Creator made all things simple (true).
Dishonest men came up with many explanations/devices (sinful).
The internet and governments and religions of the world
greatly encourage and promote dishonesty and lies.

Here it is again. The end is redemption, not annihilation.
Anyone who has knees to bow and a tongue to speak, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (in the realm of the dead), will whole-heartedly, and without reservation, acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. No one can say that “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved. Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. (the reason for the bodily resurrection) Scriptural support below.
Philippians 2:10-11
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says,
“Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 14:9
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that
he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Note on "acknowledge" in Philippians 2:11 from Strong's Concordance
S1843 eksomologéō (from 1537 /ek, "wholly out from," intensifying 3670 /homologéō, "say the same thing about") – properly, fully agree and to acknowledge that agreement openly (whole-heartedly); hence, to confess ("openly declare"), without reservation (no holding back).
Further reading: Isaiah 45:23; Romans 14:11; Revelation 15:4

Or by controlling demons. Very common on earth as people worldwide refuse to give up serving demons even when none third of the population on earth dies.
It is a very singular thing called sin.
The true believers simply say to stop sinning. Repent in order to be saved.
Nope....it's called salvation by grace THROUGH FAITH.... faith that actively demonstrates gratitude for the Salvation afforded to us. Not by wallowing and stubbornly refusing to give up obvious sins.
You are either grateful or not.
You can try to claim Salvation by saying "You owe me salvation and give me what's mine!" Or....you can live a life in gratitude in humility. "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble"
Huge difference once again.
And well it should have been and still be a shock to find that false teachers and false teachings are rampant and are promoting sin everywhere instead of salvation.
Yes and as seen God opposes the sin but the world promotes it. With a sinful support system set up to deceive everyone, some believers get deceived as well as the unbelievers have been. They apparently do not want grace but want and seek the approval of sinful men, instead of God's Approval, and God rejects them.
Well, they do not lose (not having to start with) salvation in Jesus. They might lose the opportunity if they never repent of their sin though.
The sinful, wicked world/ society loves sinful wicked contributors.
"The world loves its own." as written.
Not a surprise when the Scripture is Revealed.
A carnal worldly section of a forum in the world might be a place to discuss them.
The uncarnal, unworldly believers and followers of Jesus are told not to promote the darkness, but rather to expose it. Not to discuss it perse. Never to promote it.
