It is written, "for the wrath of GOD is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of GOD is manifest in them; for GOD hath revealed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and GODHEAD; so that they are without excuse. Because that, when they knew GOD; they glorified HIM not as GOD, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became as fools; and changed the the glory of the incorruptible GOD into an image made like to corruptible man; and to birds and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore GOD also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves; who changed the truth of GOD into a lie [ an aside:for themselves only--they cannot make GOD a liar], and worshipped and served the creature [another aside: the devil] more than THE CREATOR, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause GOD gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which i 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 [dictionary defines as indecent or improper] and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due them [their punishment]. And even as they did not like to retain GOD in their knowledge, GOD gave them over to a reprobate mind [aside: defined by dictionary as depraved & foreordained to eternal damnation by GOD] to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness,fornication,wickedness,covetousness,maliciousness, full of envy,murder, debate,deceit,malignity,whisperers, backbiters,haters of GOD, despiteful, proud,boasters,inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable,unmerciful; who KNOWING the Judgement 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."
Romans 1:18-32, King James Holy Bible
Posted in bold letters as reminder of GOD's words condemning homosexuality and idolatry and as warning that they cannot defy GOD. Read last sentence in passage of scripture again which refers to physical death & spiritual death of those guilty of sodomy abomination & lesbian sin.
