<p>ROMANS 1:18-32</p>
<p><strong><em>Unbelief and Its Consequences</em></strong></p>
<p> <strong>18</strong>For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, <strong>19</strong>because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. <strong>20</strong>For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. <strong>21</strong>For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. <strong>22</strong>Professing to be wise, they became fools, <strong>23</strong>and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.</p>
<p> <strong>24</strong>Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. <strong>25</strong>For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.</p>
<p> <strong>26</strong>For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, <strong>27</strong>and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.</p>
<p> <strong>28</strong>And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, <strong>29</strong>being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; <em>they are</em> gossips, <strong>30</strong>slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, <strong>31</strong>without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; <strong>32</strong>and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. </p>
<p>NOW I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME HERE IF VERSE 26 IS TRUE WHY ARE WE SO AGAINST SAME SEX MARRIAGE UNLESS IT A BROTHER OR SISTER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST ,FOR AS I READ THIS, THOSE WHO ARE DOING IT ARE DOING IT BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBEIF IN GOD AND HE GAVE THEM OVER TO THIS DEGRADING PASSIONS ,AND FOOD FOR THOUGHTS IF WE BE AGAINST THEM ,ARE WE FIGHTING AGAINST GOD ,SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT ,BEING THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAY IN JOHN 6:43-51</p>
<p> <strong>43</strong>“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. <strong>44</strong>“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. <strong>45</strong>It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’d Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. <strong>46</strong>No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. <strong>47</strong>I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. <strong>48</strong>I am the bread of life. <strong>49</strong>Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. <strong>50</strong>But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. <strong>51</strong>I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” </p>
<p>SO HAVE satan TRICKED US ALSO TO BE AS THE JEWS WAS IN JESUS DAYS DOWN HERE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF I'M LOOKING AT THIS FROM A ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE WHICH I'M TRYING TO LIVE OR AM I TAKING THIS OUT OF CONTEXT ,PLEASE RESPONSE BECAUSE OUR BELOVED BROTHER PAUL WROTE IN 1 CORINTHIANS 5:9-13</p>

<p>We all know about Columbine and churches that have had individuals martyred for their faith in Jesus. Here is a video of a man who was holding Bible studies in his own home, he was sentenced for 60 days in jail because of this. He has to turn himself in on the 9th of this month.</p>
<p>I would love to hear everyones input regarding this.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Greetings all Theology Group brethren,</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Let me present what the Holy Spirit pointed out to me.....that maybe you can pass along during this momentous season.</span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Greetings all Theology Group brethren,</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Let me present what the Holy Spirit pointed out to me.....that maybe you can pass along during this momentous season.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Luke 19:41:(paraphrased) On what we call Palm Sunday, Jesus is looking over Jerusalem....weeping and lamenting that they just didn't get His message....and missed out on true peace. In addition to that, in the coming future the Roman army would levy total destruction and a heavy loss of life in the city.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Compare Acts 1:8,"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth".</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Now, compare in Acts 8:8, "..........And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles".</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Resulting in........Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 being fulfilled....as church planting and a missionary movement was begun........</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">And......the church folks were removed from Jerusalem about 30 years before 600,000 men, women, and children were killed in the wiping out of the city.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">While the Christians were being scattered......do you think they were praising and thanking God?.......might there have been some moaning and groaning?.....maybe blaming Satan for this forced exodus?.......doubts?.....faith issues???</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Our lesson from all this.......Next time we hear some of the brethren murmuring about church, or questioning God.........we can relate this Scriptural example of how our Heavenly Father accomplishes His will, which doesn't always fit with ours..........</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p>Alright Brothers and Sisters,</p>
<p>You've had respite from the debate on this matter long enough. As they used to say in Rome, " Let the games begin." (Again).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you want to start posting your favorite verses supporting your position again, go ahead. Were you ever able to sway the other camp with your Biblical points? Are there verses that each person thinks will convince the other of the final answers? Do Bible references of each camp seem to set the story straight? Is the issue still at a stand-off?</p>
<p>Let me offer a different approach:</p>
<p>I think that both beliefs (Calvinism - Arminism) ARE CORRECT.</p>
<p>Now, before you move your mouse, please hear me out.</p>
<p>I think the Holy Spirit pointed this Biblical explanation to me, because I'm sure not smart enough to have noticed it myself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To start with, we see Jesus preaching to the dead in 1 Peter 4:6.</p>
<p>Compare Acts 26:23 with Peter's verse. And bring in Matthew 27:52. So, we see godly souls who have been "waiting" for Jesus to come free them from their "way station".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please go to Luke 16:19-31.</p>
<p>This is the only story that Jesus told that characters were identified with names - Lazarus, Abraham. Also, according to "The Companion Bible" quoting from John Lightfoot"s writings, this was not one of Jesus' parables, because He was lashing out at the Pharisees for their intentional changing of the Law.</p>
<p>It seems this Abraham"s Bosom (Paradise) and Hades had a great chasm separating the good souls and the wicked souls.</p>
<p>And, at that time, Paradise and Hades were both in the bowels of the earth (compare Samuel "coming up" in 1 Samuel 28:13-15).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously, all godly people who died before Jesus' redemptive work at Calvary had to be CHOSEN by God, because He knew their hearts. Compare Luke 16:22.</p>
<p>Jesus preached to those saintly souls in the time between Cruxifiction Friday and Resurrection Sunday because God knew their hearts, and they were destined to eternity with Jesus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jesus moved Paradise (Abraham's Bosom) from "down" to "up" in Ephesians 4:8-10, where I believe it is now. Compare 2 Corinthians 12:4.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm going to stop for now because of time and space. To be continued..........................</p>
<p>What do you think so far?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grace and peace. </p>
