We live in a time when our silence empowers the sinful living their lives in error. Sure we are all sinners but Romans 1 if nothing else was the voice crying in the wilderness.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
There are people twisting the truth about God's will and how he perceives us as all sinners. We are actually afraid to speak our minds, run our businesses, be able to shun them for their lusts, refuse to allow them to be a part of us for fear of man's law, to be in the spot light of their judgement. Verse 24 explains how God gave them up and how He felt about their lifestyle.
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:
27And 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.
28And 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;.
The final verse should resonate with all of us because I'm having difficulty seeing how allowing it to surround me in public, with use of the the rainbow (which is suppose to be a symbol of God's promise), in our schools with God's children, and in the title of holy matrimony that somehow I am forced to accept it or have any pleasure in that acceptance. Does it not imply in verse 32 all that take any pleasure in them that commit such things are worthy of death?
32Who 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.
