You ignored this reply on another thread,maybe you'll answer it here,if you can.
It concerns the meaning of Romans chapter 1.
Paul was talking about 2different things,the manner in which they worshiped false idols (taking part in sacred prostitution) and the manner in which
they lived their lives.
Romans 1:21-23 (man 'creates' false idols)
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made
like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Verse 26 uses the words 'for this cause' meaning the cause/manner of worship undertaken by the people.
26 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:
Verses 29-31 talk of how they behave in general.
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Bottom line is,in America especially,homosexuals have become like the witches of the not to distant pass.Anything and everything,no matter how
ludicrous,is being blamed on us.Homosexuality is the new evil.Just like Islam has replaced Communism.And it is perpetuated because those in charge
know that it is very easy to rile people up with the topic of homosexuality.Its very easy to paint all homosexuals as nothing but sub-human perverts
who love nothing better than seducing children and destroying families,and when that is done,its a simple step to accusations and blame.Funny how its
never the Christian fundies who have manipulated the Bible and their followers.
There are many things that threaten life and people's way of life,but there's something important you should know about them....
Homosexuals did not invent divorce.Homosexuals did not invent abortion.Homosexuals did not invent atheism.Homosexuals did not invent
terrorism.Homosexuals did not invent birth control.Homosexuals did not invent drugs.Homosexuals did not invent alcohol.Homosexuals did not invent
violence.Homosexuals did not invent extreme Christianity.Homosexuals did not invent war.And homosexuals did not manipulate the Bible in order to gain
power,wealth and control.
So,you tell me,how those who did not create any of these life/religious threatening things have brought down the Wrath of God upon America.
