18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.20 For 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 people are without excuse.
21 For 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. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They 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, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love,no mercy. 32 Although 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.
So the Liars, Cheaters, Terrorists, Genocide planners, thieves, drunkards, fornicators are somehow left out but homosexuals are targeted???
Are you a retard???
A spot look at the Bible, there is not a single actual stoning of Homosexuals recorded.That is not me saying.The law was there, but its application is not seen anywhere in the Bible.
On the other hand, we can see the punishment for fornication and adultery in almost every book in the Bible. And the Judeo-Christian God used a variety of tools ranging from mass epidemics(Numbers), genocide(Judges) and mass deportation of people(Kings, Choronicles, Isaiah,Jeremiah).
Not a single peep about homosexuality being the cause of anything there.
In the New Testament, Jesus keeps mum on the issue. Roman brothels all over Roman Syria aside.
Paul has a lot to say about homosexuality. That they, alongside adulterors, FORNICATORS,DRUNKARDS,(I emphasize on those two, because it is like you put white-out there), liars and thieves will enter the Kingdom of God. I Corinthians 6:9-11
No Earthly pnishment is mentioned.
Paul hated fornicators.In fact, in I Corinthians 5:9-13 Paul made it very clear that No Christian should even be called a Christian if they are fornicators.
In essence, once you fornicate, you are the Christian version of an Apostate.
The verse even goes further to clearly state that such a person SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE CHURCH and Christians should not even eat at the same table with him.
Please read your Frigging Bibles!!!
On to more secular matters, Biyawhatever died of AIDS complications and somehow it is God punishing him???
Are you high???
Are you saying the children who used to die from getting AIDS after getting it from their mother either during pregnancy or during birth before those blockers and ARVs were formulated were being punished by God???
Your God is worse than Kalima and the Norse Gods, He seems to love human sacrifices then!!
In addition,
And African following the religion of those who oppressed massacred and took away the land of their ancestors is no different from a Droid. They preached hell but did the very same things the Bible says will take people to hell the following Monday on Africans.Apparently Hell is for Africans only.
Read those Bible verses that call for the stoning of fornicators and those that led to epidemics, genocide, and deportation of people because of fornication.
There are five verses on unnatural relationships in the OT and two in the New Testament(all by Paul.None by Jesus).You all love to concentrate on those ones while ignoring like 250 verses condemning fornication and Adultery.
SMH
The entire Ezekiel is dedicated to condeming Adultery and Fornication.
Show any evidence that homosexuals ever led to any disasters that befell the Israelites(And please do not mention Sodom and Gommorah, that had nothing to do with Homosexuality and did not happen to Israelites anyway.)
There ISN’T ANY!!
But fornication alone nearly caused Israel to be wiped out.
But of course, hoosexuality is somehow a greater sin???SMH!!
you are for the most part correct. however you seemingly attempting to whitewash homosexuality is a great miscalculation against The Word.
that Jesus didn’t mention it? Homosexuality falls in the category of sexual immorality, as does zoophilia and necromancia. Did Jesus speak on that when He was on earth? Apply The Word not your own understanding.
truth. it is of the great satan.
God never gave versions of His Word. He gave one and preserved it.
NIV is a version that deletes several portions of His Word and waters down several verses.
Issthendeffo
The religion didn’t take the land away. i think we examine issues from a very flawed perspective that keeps you focused on the wrong thing. Read the verse up there… about beeing given to wrong…
KJV was translated in 1611. It was based on textus receptus which was written in Greek. NIV is based on textus critism which came as a result of having manuscript which were older than the Greek.
