Romans 1 [The Message]

Sexual confusion and perversion is certainly a sign of our age. The author or Romans (probably Paul) addresses such issues in his provocative letter to the Church at Rome. Yes, even in the first century, there were individuals who had sexual identity issues. (At least is wasn’t being taught in their government schools)

Paul blames a society which shrouds God’s Truth with a mindset of folly … “Because, even though they knew God, they did not honor him or give him thanks as God. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless heart was darkened.” [Rom. 1:21 ERV] The King James Version calls this “reprobacy.”

The problem is not the plumbing … it’s the programming.

Personally, I am compassionate toward any person who who claims God made a mistake with them. His love, acceptance and forgiveness brings them to His front row through the shed blood of Jesus. Our thinking should please God, not the popular trends of our culture.
