Jude 7, “Even as SODOM and GOMORRHA, and the cities about them in like manner, GIVING THEMSELVES OVER to FORNICATION, and GOING AFTER STRANGE FLESH, areset forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” NKJV, “…having given themselves over to SEXUAL IMMORALITY and GONE AFTER STRANGE FLESH,…” NASB, “…in the same way as these indulged in GROSS IMMORALITY and WENT AFTER STRANGE FLESH,…” NIV, “…gave themselves up to SEXUAL IMMORALITY and PERVERSION…”

  10. Why Is Homosexuality Worldliness? God Condemned It From The Long Ago Lev. 18:22, “THOU SHALT NOT LIE WITH MANKIND, AS WITH WOMANKIND: it is ABOMINATION.” NKJV, “YOU SHALL NOT LIE WITH A MALEAS WITH A WOMAN.

What Happened To Sodom & Gomorrah? What Happened To The Benjaminites (Judges 19-20)? What Happened To Rome? What Will God Do To The U.S.A.?

I Kings 22:45-46, “Now the rest of the acts of JEHOSHAPHAT, and HIS MIGHT THAT HE SHEWED,…46 AndTHE REMNANT OF THE SODOMITES, which remained in the days of his father Asa, HE TOOK OUT OF THE LAND.”

The New Testament – It Is “Against Nature” Rom. 1:21-32, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, andTHEIR 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…”

  23. Why Is Homosexuality Worldliness? It Is Ungodly II Tim. 3:12-14, “Yea, and all that will live GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But EVIL MEN and SEDUCERSshall WAX WORSE and WORSE, DECEIVING, and BEING DECEIVED. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.” Fifty Years Ago - Homosexuality Was Illegal!

Although This Sin Is Practiced By Relatively Few, They Are Demanding Their “Rights” And Recognition In Society!

To Learn That God Loves Them (I Tim. 1:15; Cf. Jn. 3:16)! ToLearn That We Love&Pray For Them (I Tim. 2:1-2;Eph. 4:14-15)! To Learn & Practice The Truth That Saves (I Tim. 2:3-5)!

  27. Why Is Homosexuality Worldliness? Propaganda Used To Justify Homosexuality “Psychiatrists Claim That Sexual Preference Is Genetic, And Therefore God Is Responsible For Homosexuality!” Rom.1:26-32,“ForthiscauseGODGAVETHEMUP UNTOVILE AFFECTIONS: for even THEIR WOMEN did CHANGETHE NATURAL USEinto 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 MENworking that which is unseemly,…WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION,…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.”

Grace be with thee. Amen.” Cf. II Tim. 3:16-17 NKJV, “…avoidingTHE PROFANE and IDLE BABBLINGS and CONTRADICTIONS of WHAT IS FALSELY CALLED KNOWLEDGE…”

Abhor that which is EVIL; cleave to that which is GOOD.” Cf. I Jn. 4:18-19
