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: 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. Romans 1:26-27
Many people like to argue today that God never condemned or prohibited homosexuality or other acts of sexual immorality. These scriptures today, given by the Apostle Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, totally destroys their false arguments, and reveals the depravity of society.
The argument these false Christians like to make is the word Homosexual is not in the Bible. There are several issues with this argument, first the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek not English, Secondly the word Homosexual is a newly created English word, therefore we wouldn’t expect to see this word in the original text. This is a straw-man argument, people who make this claim make it clear they are ignorant of the Bible or they are just being deceitful
As you read through the entire Bible, starting in Genesis, sexual immorality has always been an issue with mankind. As God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah as an example to the world, for their total depravity including their desire to rape the angels and sodomize them. (Genesis 19) In the Mosaic Law, God had to condemn the practice, as it is an abomination to God, and punishable by death (Leviticus 18:22) Scripture made it very clear, a man is not to have sex with another man as he would with a woman. There is no word play here or lost in translation, very clear, as the Bible states “there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
So how do we know when a society is under the judgement of God? Look at the level of depravity in the culture, as the Apostle Paul says here “God gave them up to their vile , shameful, dishonorable passions and affections” Why is sexual immorality so rampant today? Because God gave them over to their sins, remember previously they worshipped the creature rather than the Creator. They love their sin and depravity more than they love God
The woman gave up her natural use what is against nature, the NIV states “woman exchanged their natural sexual relations with unnatural ones” You don’t have to be a Greek Bible scholar to know Paul is talking about lesbians. Men abandoned their natural relations with women , burning in lust for one another. Again very clear Paul is referring to homosexuality. There is nothing lost in translation or debate about wording here.
Men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which is due. So is the loving thing to encourage these people to remain dead in their sins and headed for an eternal damnation? Love warns (Proverbs 3:12) Churches that encourage and affirm this behavior are the most vile, because they are leading people to the broad road of Hell. (Matthew 7:13)
Jesus set the example and model of the family and human sexuality “He who made them in the beginning, made them male and female, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become One flesh. They are no longer two but One flesh, there what God has joined let no man separate (Matthew 19:4-6)
