Bible Note: ptgard, Here is Paul in another letter. It is perfectly in accord with what he says in Romans 1:27. 1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals," Heterosexual adulters have something to be concerned about too. But there are those today who hate the institution of monagomous marriage that will point to scientific studies that they say proves men and women are by nature promiscuous and polygamous. Sound familar? Man because of his fallen state is prey to all his disordered desires. They are not natural as God created man to be. Our own consciences tell us that when we sin, even though we thought is was "the natural thing to do" at the time we did it. That is why we need redemption and grace, all of us. Emmaus |
