Romans 1 Study

Complete study of Romans 1. This is spiritual meat in due season.  Please be blessed by this!

Let's break down Romans 1:

And yes my primary reason for going through Romans 1 is to discuss the spiritual state of the homosexual and what God's word says not what some limp wristed lukewarm hireling who masquerades as a Pastor says. I have heard people the past week or so say we as Christians should stop talking about the subject of sodomite/lesbian pseudo marriage. If you know anything about the Faithful and Wise servant teaching, then you will understand that it is up to us to give our domestics spiritual meat in due season. Is this not the due season to teach and warn the brethren about the spiritual state of the sodomite and lesbian?  Your spiritual health depends on having a proper understanding of how we are to veiw the perverted filthy dreamers of our modern Sodom and Gomorrha here in Babylon. The false, apostate and lukewarm pastors/teachers/prophets of today are telling their congregants to just "Love" the perverted homosexual. This "Love" that they speak of, is not based on what the word of God teaches but rather the "Love" that the world teaches. The worlds "Love" is ineffective for the preaching of the gospel. In order to love someone the way the bible teaches, you must warn them if you see them headed for destruction. You must tell them of their sin and preach a message of repentance not just a sinners prayer. Once the homosexual rejects the gospel, which according to Romans 1 will be very likely due to being given over to a reprobate mind, then you kick the dust off your feet and let not your peace be upon them. You don't keep trying to win their soul and keep being their friend and spending time with them, like many of these milquetoast limp wristed Pastor's tell you to do.

Romans 1  (KJV)

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

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.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

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:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

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:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Verse 1-2, Paul was set apart for the gospel of Jesus Christ just as we who are "Born Again" are today. Note, we are set apart for the gospel of Jesus Christ not the rudiments and philosophies of this world. You must as a bond servant of Jesus be preaching his gospel not the worlds wisdom. If you call yourself a Pastor and you are preaching using wordly techniques and speech them you are a Wolf at worst and a hireling at best. This gospel of Christ was promised before by the prophets of God, his incarnation, death, burial and bodily ressurection. This was not a plan b scenario where only because the jews rejected him he went to the cross. That was the plan all along according to scripture.  Jesus never intended to rule as a literal earthly political king on this earth and he still doesn't as his Kingdom will be heavenly after his second coming. Even now he sits at the right hand of the Father and even sits with him on his throne. After our thousand year reign with Christ in heaven our eternal home will be here on this earth made new with Jehovah and Jesus Christ dwelling with us. 

Verse 3- This gospel concerns Jesus Christ who is of the seed of David via his mother Mary and step father Joseph. This is his fleshly royal bloodline.  We know that he also has a  heavenly bloodline as Jehovah. 

Verse 4- It was Jehovah that raised Christ from the dead (the ressurection) and this declared Christ to be the Son of God with power over all in Heaven and in earth. All his claims were vindicated by the resurrection. 

Verse 5- Obedience to the faith? Calvinists would tell you obedience isn't necessary for salvation but Paul makes it clear that the grace of God gives us the ability to be obedient. If obedience wasn't required for salvation, why is there such a emphasis on it in the scriptures? This obedience will come into play later on in this chapter of Romans as some are teaching in error, that even if you live a certain way that you cannot lose your salvation. 

Verse 6- We are the called of Christ Jesus and him alone.  We are not the called of any preacher, prophet, evangelist,  teacher,  theologian and or anything of this world.

Verse 7- Remember when we became Born Again, it was a call we were answering. This call was from God the Father Jehovah , The Son of God Jesus Christ  and their Holy Spirit. 

Verse 8- Note, God through Jesus Christ.  Some false cults will use the verbiage "In Union" rather than "through". This confirms the deity of Christ as the Divine Son of God, He and His Father Jehovah are of one mind and Spirit. Jesus as the literal Son of Jehovah is of the same DNA and substance as His Father.

Verse 9- We always need to be praying for the brethen especially those in our midst.  The gospel that Paul preached was Jesus Christ and nothing else. When anyone adds man made commandments to the gospel l, do not be deceived as that is a false gospel. Jude talks about the gospel delivered once for all delivered to the saints and that is the one we contend for.

 Verse 10-Even the Faithful and Wise servants of God need the prayers of the Saints in order to run the race set before them. Pray for those doing the work of the ministry. It should be all of us doing the work but also give a point to pray for those laboring full time. 

Verse 11-With the spiritual gifts Paul has been given by the Holy Spirit, he seeks to establish those believers in Rome. Those spiritual gifts can be the actual miraculous ones bestowed upon the apostles or the strengthening and encouraging in the faith of the Saints in Rome through his ministry. I tend to go with the latter.

Verse 12-Our mutual faith as brothers and sisters comforts each other.

Verse 13 and 14- Paul is a debtor to both the Greeks and the Barbarians to preach the Gospel. Those within the Greek culture (Romans and Greece itself) and those without it (Barbarians). Paul's preaching was to the learned and unlearned. As it should also be today, when we preach that it should be able to be understood by the wise snd unwise of this world. Watch out for those who make their teaching of the gospel complicated and almost unattainable. 

Verse 15- Paul declares his readiness to preach the Gospel in Rome.

Verse 16- Look how Paul states boldly that he is not ashamed of the gospel. How many of today's Pastor's or even Christians as a whole can say this?  Not many I suggest. That's why you have many Institutional Church leaders watering down the gospel so as not to offend others. They substitute words for sin that the bible uses for words that are softer and easier on the ears. Itching the ears of their domestics and unbelievers. Paul makes it clear that it is the gospel of Christ that is the power of God unto salvation. It is not the philosophy of this world or the arguments and smooth speech of man that saves people but rather the pure unwatered down gospel of Jesus Christ and every word that is written for man does not live by bread alone. Ask yourself this,  are you ashamed of the gospel?  You might say "of course not" but I submit to you that if you are not using the words the bible uses to describe sin and rather are using softer words, then you are ashamed of the gospel. If you have not spoken truth to the sinner about his/her need for repentance and rather have misled them to thinking they are a child of God then you are ashamed of the gospel. If you have not told sinners that the punishment for their sins, unrepentant of, will lead them to the Lake of Fire which will be torment and suffering with brimstone and the blackness of darkness then you are ashamed of the gospel. If you have misled them in any way to thinking that God will understand their living in sin and have compassion on them in the day of judgment then you are ashamed of the gospel.

Verse 17- The just shall live by faith. Living in sin is not having faith but it is the fruit of unbelief. 

Verse 18- The wrath of God will be poured out on all unrighteousness and ungodliness at his second coming so this false teaching that you can live the way you want and still be saved and enter in God's Kingdom is heresy. Not only at his second coming but even after the millennium as the unrighteousness suffer the torments of Hell fire and are destroyed. And even in this life, as they receive in themselves the recompence of their error. These ungodly hold the truth of God in unrighteousness as they twist the word of God in order to justify their abominable sin. For example,  the false teaching that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrha was one of being bad hosts rather than them being filthy dreamers, defilers of the flesh, abusers of themselves with mankind, natural brute beast, men trading in the use of the woman for man and vice versa doing things that are unseemly.

Verse 19-20, There will be no excuse for anyone when they stand at the judgment seat of Christ. God has manifested himself in the invisible things of this world from creation until now and even the fact that we have physical life reveals this to all. It says that we who are made understand these things that God manifest himself in invisibly and in visible terms. Even His Godhead (His Majesty, divinity) and His eternal power are clearly seen by the creation and understand. Being without excuse, God's judgment on the unbeliever to be destroyed in the Lake of Fire is righteous and just.

Verse 21-Most today profess a belief in God but many don't glorify him as God. Whether they are Mormons,  Catholics,  Jehovah Witnesses,  Muslims,  Messiah rejecting Jews,  those who are sodomites/lesbians,  those who practice other sins described in scripture. They are vain in their imaginations,  for the cultists,  it is denying the diety of Jesus Christ as Jehovah. For the sin practicer, it is glorifying a false God that co- signs on their wicked lifestyles. These people, not being thankful that Jesus Christ died for their sins as a once for all sacrifice have turned the grace of God into lewdness. Due to their vain imaginations of the false god they worship, their foolish hearts are darkened. Their hearts began as foolish per the reason they did not glorify the true God of the Bible. Because of their unthankfulness, their foolish hearts then darken which leads to a giving over to a reprobate mind and searing of the conscience. This is when repentance is no longer an option for them.

Verse 22- In their rebellion against Jehovah God, they speak as though they have wisdom and exclaim such arrogantly but in reality they became fools once they rejected the true God of the Bible.

Verse 23-This verse speaks to Idolatry which is not only when we erect statues of supposed diety's such as Mary, Buddha etc. But also those who call the earth "mother" or make statues of animals and consider them some sort of spiritual diety or even calendars of astrology that associates an animal with a persons birthday (chinese and astrological calendars). Any belief system that promotes any worship of a created being, place or thing. So, it is the unbelievers foolish heart that causes him to do this leading to a darkness of said heart. He 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 24- After all this, Jehovah gives these foolish unbelievers over to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts. So, this is not some thing where men and women one day people wake up and decide to defile themselves with others of the same sex. According to the word of God, it was a process of not glorifying the true God of the Bible then making a god of their own vain imaginations in order to fit whatever wicked lifestyle they were in or desired to be in. In the process, turning already foolish hearts even more dark changing the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man. Once this happens, they are then given over to uncleanness which results in them abusing and dishonouring their bodies with each other. This was not an immediate process but rather a progression of rebellion against God. When anyone who is a Christian starts buying into the world's lie that sodomites/lesbians are born that way or are that way because of their childhood read them these scriptures.

Verse 25- So, these defilers of the flesh turned the truth of God into a lie twisting and perverting the Bible and the person of Christ, either by denying his absolute deity or altering his character. They need to do this in order to justify to themselves so that they can live their wicked lifestyles thinking God approves of  it and them. The result of this twisting of God's truth into a lie is them worshipping creation rather than the Creator. This can either be, outright worship of false gods or worship of physical creation or representations of the physical creation.  Think earth,  stars,  planets and people such as the sodomites/lesbians and their worship of themselves by going after those of the same sex. Their rebellion of God's natural design for sex between man and woman has resulted in idolatry of men worshipping men by seeking perverted physical union with each other.  Women seeking perverted physical relations with each other have also fallen into the idolatry of women worshipping women as they rebelled against God's natural use of female and male union. 

Verse 26-God gave up these creature worshippers to vile affections.  That is what the practice of homosexuality is called in the Bible-"vile affections". It is not called same sex attraction or gay sex but it is called "vile affections". And note that it is God himself that gave them up. It is not something they are born with or a result of some traumatic child hood experience. Nothing says because you went through a childhood trauma that it means you have to practice sin as a result. It always comes down to obedience. The Bible doesn't mince words about the sin of sodomy and lesbianism. Note how it says "for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature". So the verse gives no pass to women who practice lesbianism, as this is also deemed a vile affection where God gave these women up. The last part of the verse has a tone of amazement and disgust that women are even practicing what is vile and unseemly. 

Verse 27-The Bible is clear that sodomite sex is unnatural and that lust is what drives the men burning for each other. Don't believe the world's wisdom that these sodomites and lesbians love each other thereby they should be able to get married. The  Bible says the root of sodomite/lesbian passions are lust and not love. Where a man and woman in marriage can sincerely claim Love as the basis for their relationship a sodomite/lesbian couple can never claim that. This verse says that when men engage in this disgusting behavior that it is UNSEEMLY. When a woman and man engage in affections and are not married, it is sin but it is not described as Unseemly or vile. They only need to get married to make themselves right before God in that case.  A sodomite or lesbian is not afforded the same privilege due to confirmation of marriage being the physical consumation of when a man goes into a woman. This is something that sodomites and lesbians can never do. The result of their vile affections which they are given over to by God almighty, is receiving in themselves the recompence (consequences) of their error (their practice of vile affections) which was meet. The word "meet" in the greek is "dei" which means necessary,  binding, ought, should, needful, unavoidable,  , what is right and proper in Itself or prescribed by law. So what are the recompenses of the error of the sodomites? Aids, colon diseases, other sexually transmitted diseases,  and oppression which brings depression. Many of these things bring about a literal early death for the sodomite and guess what? The Bible says that it is Just and Right "meet".

Verse 28- The Bible says these sodomite/lesbians did not like to retain God in their knowledge which is what led them to worship the creature rather than the Creator. The result of this is being given over to vile affections, burning in lust for those of the same sex and trading in the use of what is natural for unnatural. All the while, getting the Just and Right consequences of their error. Because they refuse to retain the God of the Bible in their knowledge, they are then given over to a reprobate mind. So just when these milquetoast false pulpit preachers tell their congregations to just love the homosexuals into the Kingdom we read in this verse that they are given over to a "reprobate" mind. Reprobate in the greek is "adokimos" which means unapproved,  rejected, worthless, castaway, not approved, worthy of condemnation,  useless. This to me doesn't sound like these sodomites/lesbians can repent but are actually rejected and worthy of condemnation.  This my friends is what they call "A Game Changer"!  So they do those things which are not convenient due to being given over to a reprobate mind. The word for convenient in the greek is "katheko" which means to reach for that which is not becoming or fit. These sodomites and lesbians have to actually reach and go out of their way to practice these vile affections as it is not convenient to do so. The convenient thing is what God made natural,  physical affection between a man and a woman. Think about it,  they have to purposefully go out and find those who practice such abominations as these vile people are not the norm in society. They are a very small percentage of people, so that's why they migrate to our modern day Sodom and Gomorrha's such as West Hollywood, San Francisco,  Manhattan,  Miami Beach,  Tel Aviv, Downtown L.A., Minneapolis, Palm Springs, Atlanta etc. They do this as it is not convenient to find fellow sodomites/lesbians in the suburbs or rural towns. Even physically, the sin of sodomy and lesbianism is not convenient as they have to bring gimmicks (objects) into the bedroom and use supplements (oils/creams) to accomplish their goal of lustful pleasure.

Verse 29- These filthy dreamers are filled with ALL unrighteousness not just the practice of sodomy/lesbianism. The sinful vile affections of their same sexcapades are just the fufillment and pinnacle of them being filled with all unrighteousness which this verse describes. Note the attributes ascribed to the sodomite/lesbian. They all apply. Fornication=Porneia (greek) derives from greek word "Porneuo"=Pornography-These filthy dreamers do pornographic things with each other such as indulging in unlawful lusting. Porneia=Harlotry which includes all forms of unlawful sex, Porneuo=to act the harlot, to indulge in unlawful lust. Wickedness=Porneria (greek)- Depravity, malice,  iniquity, (plural) plots and sins. Look at how the filthy dreamers plotted for years to get their agenda accepted and now it's a done deal here in Babylon. Their sins are many and not just of sodomy or lesbianism. When you have traded the natural use of the opposite sex for the same sex to do unseemly things and are given over to a reprobate mind then you are in depravity full throttle. They are malicious in that they not only push for their "rights" but they go after businesses of Christians in order to get them shut down. They don’t sincerely want the services of these Christians often times but do this purposely knowing that they will be refused service. Iniquity- It is abounded in the sodomite/lesbian heart which is evidenced in that they are practicing vile affections which was the result of not retaining God in their knowledge and creating their own false image of God. Covetousness- They desire and lust after those of the same sex that they have no permission to go after.  God tells them "NO" and they rebel and covet after those who are of same sex. A sodomite will even covet after a married man and a lesbian will covet aftee a married woman.  I have seen this happen where the result is divorce between the married man and woman. Full of envy-They cannot stand that men and women in marriage have the blessing of God and of society and that being fruitful they can bear children. The sodomite/lesbian in their heart of hearts knows that Jehovah doesn't approve of them or their filthy unions. They also have to adopt to have children and can't by nature do so. Envy is also a big issue within their communities, especially in regards to the sodomites. These men often trade in older partners for younger ones and steal each other's partners. They often exhibit unbridled wantoness in theit wicked lifestyles. Debate- If you as a Christian quotes the Bible and stands for truth they are quick to engage in quarreling and generate strife. Even if you quote something from the word that Isn't related to sodomy/lesbianism they often will angrily come against you. They know you are a representation of Christ thereby it convicts them just by being in your presence. Deceit- They will claim they just want their rights but they have an agenda to pervert the Churches with their vileness. They will come after Churches that refuse to compromise on validating their filthy pseudo marriages. There is a decietfulness in how they operate as a movement and on a personal level due to their lust. They will often use coniving means to get the man or woman they want. They will go after the heterosexual employing deceiving methods in order to pervert them. Malignity=Kakoetheia (greek word)-means to have bad character,  mischievous, evil habit, the desire to do evil to others. This fits the sodomite/lesbian to a "T". Many of them are not content to just live and let live but they desire the sexual corruption of others by going after the heterosexual even if they are married. They also go after children in the sense of having their agenda pushed on the schools. They go after the general population by having their agenda celebrated in media. Whisperers=Psithuristes (greek)-means to be an accuser, a backbiter who does his slandering openly, can also be secret slandering and whispering. Look at how those sodomites blasphemed the cross in Brazil with their filth.  They accuse the Saints of the Most High of being bigots and hateful. They slander us openly to the media. They also do this secretly in the shadows speaking false wickedness of Jesus true Church. They often are backbiters at the work place causing dissension because they have no peace inside them and hate those who love God.

Verse 30- Backbiters=Katalalos (greek) a couple of synonyms for this word are blasphemos and diabolos,  blasphemer and devil. Katalalos means to speak against, talkative against,  slanderer, slanderous, backbiter. As noted in verse 29 commentary, these sodomite/lesbian reprobates speak evil of the Saints thereby speaking evil of Jehovah's precious children who have been Born Again. They also speak evil against Jehovah himself. They speak evil against the Bible which is God's word which is Jesus Christ thereby speaking evil of our Lord. Never believe these filthy dreamers when they say they love Jesus as they hate him by hating his word which is him and hating his children which are the Saints of God. Haters of God-I think I have covered that above. Despiteful=Hubristes (greek)-means insulter, maltreater, despiteful, injurious, contemptuous,  insolent. Combines the idea of arrogance and violence against others. The very act of sodomy is violence against the body. Even agreed to, sodomite sex is a violent act. When men do this to their wives, they are commiting violence against her. Likewise men against men and even women against women as they will use objects to do their sodomy. Also, don't be suprised to see an Increase of physical attacks against Christians that open air preach or street witness as these sodomites/lesbians have violence bound in them due to being given over to vile affections to commit what is unseemly and unnatural.  Spend anytime with a sodomite/lesbian and you will see an insolence about them, they are not controllable in tongue or action often times. They are very open with their contempt of all things Biblical, be it the devout Christian and Jehovah himself. They have contempt for Christian values and speak regularly in the media against those values and those who hold to them. Proud=Huperephanos (greek)-means to be haughty, proud, arrogant. Those who show themselves above otheers. Often associated with those who despise God. I feel we have covered these filthy dreamers hatred of God which is pride on steroids. Boasters=Alazon (greek) which means braggart, boaster, This word comes from Ale (greek)-a wandering about. This word is a derivative of Alazoneia which means vaunting in those things one does not possess.  When these sodomites/lesbians boast about their perverted sexual conquests and brag about their partners they are in perverted union with, they are doing so of people they do not possess. God has not granted them permission to have those of the same gender, so when they say this is my boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife they are boasting of what they don't have permission to possess. A wife and husband do possses each other as one flesh and they have been granted this right by God. Inventors of evil things pertaining to their sin. Just look at the adult entertainment industry and the filth the sodomite/lesbian had contributed through videos and sexual help objects. Disobedient to parents-greek word for disobedient is " apeithes " which means unwilling to be persuaded, unbelieving, disobedient. These ungodly sodomites/lesbians start their rebellion often times in the home against their parents. They disobey their parents idea of how a boy and girl are supposed to behave. As they become older, they even become even more antagonist towards their parents values and they act out accordingly. 

Verse 31- Without understanding, these filthy dreamers reject Christ and his word and create a god of their own image which will fit into their desire for wickedness. They can no longer discern that their sin is against Jehovah's plan. Covenant breakers= asunthetos (greek) means a breaker of a covenant or agreement,  faithless,  treacherous. So when you hear sodomites and lesbians talk about how they love God and have faith in him they are lying. Their practice of their sin actually confirms that they lack faith. They are also treacherous,  you see this in society with their hatred and persecution of Bible believing Christians. Often times they go out of their way to trouble Christian businesses and Churches. They break agreement and covenant with Jehovah by doing the very abomination he hates which is going against nature by men lusting after men and women lusting after women. Without natural affection=astorgos (greek) which means without family love, without natural affection,  Inhuman,  hard hearted towards kindred. Wow! So these sodomites/lesbians are inhuman according to scripture. It makes sense since their sexual perversion is more suited to an animal than someone made in the image of God. They are without family love since they have no wife/husband in the Godly plan of life. Their pseudo wife/husbands are not their family as Jehovah doesn't allow sodomites/lesbians the blessing of true marriage and they can call their pseudo marriage partners husband/wife all they want but it is a Lie! They are often hard hearted towards their blood family especially those who profess Christ.  They know that their families no matter how much they say otherwise, truly look at them different and as a gimmick. This feeling of rejection they have causes them to be hard hearted towards blood family and even outright disrespectful at times. So the affection they show to their sodomite/lesbian partners is not natural but it is Vile and inhuman! Implacable=aspondos (greek) which means truce breakers, truceless, Implacable,  averse to any compact, without libation. So these filthy dreamers are adverse to making or keeping truces or devotion. That's why it is utterly foolish for Christians to try and satisfy and compromise with the homosexual community. They will will not make truces with us and even if they did, they would break them easily. The Church should not give these perverts an inch. Once we do, they will seek 100 miles. That's why the Church is to stand for Bible truth and not in any water down the message of the Word of God. We should never in even the slightest way show our approval of their vile sin. Unmerciful=aneleemon (greek) means unmerciful,  cruel, not compassionate,  merciless. Hang around the sodomite for any length of time and you will see an unmerciful spirit in them. They are rejected (reprobrate) due to being given over to vile affections so they have no compassion for others. Sounds like what happened to lucifer.  Those who are rejected by Jehovah have hate in their hearts especially towards those who profess the name of Christ. Absolutely no compassion shown by the sodomite/lesbian community when Christians lose their livlihoods for holding to their biblical values.

Verse 32 - Judgment=dikaioma (greek) which means a decree, as defining and establishing what is right and just, precept, law, ordinance, judgment,  justification, righteousness,  a statute or decision. So these perverts know the judgement of God according to this verse and guess what? The judgement they will receive according to scripture is just, righteous and equitable and establishea what is right. The judgment they will receive is eternity in the Lake of Fire and it is righteous that they are sent there. It is a law and ordinance decreed by Jehovah and no one is to question the justness of his decrees. The sodomite/lesbian is without excuse as they clearly see and understand the invisible attributes of God from the creation of the world. They even see and understand his eternal power and Godhead ( The Trinity ). They know in their heart of hearts that Jehovah's judgment of their sin is Hell Fire! But they did not retain God in their knowledge so they are given over to a reprobate (rejected) mind. Which commit=prasso (greek) which means perform repeatedly or habitually,  to execute,  accomplish, to do or conduct evil deeds, expressing an action as continued, continually.  So this verse and really much of the 2nd part of this chapter is talking about the continual practice of sodomy/lesbianism not a single act. I truly believe someone who commits this act as a one time thing can repent as they may have Godly sorrow after. However once they are practicing sodomy/lesbianism as a repeated evil they have become reprobate and repentance is not available to them. If God gives you over to something it's "Game over"! So these filthy dreamers are worthy of death according to this verse. We no that we no longer live in Old Testament times where stoning of certain sins took place so I believe this death spoken of here is the second death which is being cast into the Lake of Fire which burns with brimstone. This will be after the white throne judgment. However,  even in this life the sodomites often die young due the recompence of their error such as aids, other STD's and also colon related diseases. Here is the kicker though,  not only are the sodomites/lesbians worthy of death but those who approve of them and have pleasure in them that practice these vile affections.  So, if you are a Christian that in any way has supported homosexual pseudo marriage either by word or action (voting) then you are worthy of death according to scripture. Repent of your sin before it is too late. Jehovah will not want to hear your opinion that these sodomites/lesbians deserve the same civil rights that heterosexuals enjoy. God's law trumps civil law. Unbelievers who support this wickedness will also be deserving of death in the Lake of Fire!
