By the way, let me just pause to say anybody's welcome at Lancaster Baptist Church. We don't care where they're from what they've done how they're dressed
You just bring them in
Right here in verse 24 says wherefore God also gave them up just underline that real quick
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own heart to dishonor their own bodies between themselves
Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever?
Amen
for this cause
Underline again, God gave them up unto vile affections
Or even their women did change the natural use and to that which is against nature
We're talking about homos. That's what it's talking about
and likewise also
The men leaving the natural use of the women homos
Burned and their lusts one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense
Of their error, which was meat AIDS and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge
God gave them over to a reprobate mind you can underline that
God gave them over so they didn't want to retain God in their knowledge
They didn't want they they wanted to you know, profess themselves to be wise
they wanted to make God into some four-footed beast and and and they want to worship these animals and
And all the weird stuff and worship idols God gave them up God gave them over God gave them up to a reprobate mind
To do those things which are not convenient
Okay, being filled with all unrighteousness fornication wickedness
and that's what and just so you know that little
Semicolon right there means that it's continuing on the thought of what it was talking about the subject before it
Says being filled with all unrighteousness fornication wickedness covetousness
Maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit malignity whisperers backbiters. So what's that say right there?
haters of God
So are we supposed to love these people? No, they're reprobates. They're hate when they're haters of God
And it says despiteful proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents
Without understanding covenant breakers without natural affection
Implacable unmerciful implacable means you can't placate them
They're unable to be placated no matter how much you try to deal with them and how much you try to be good to them
They're not gonna be placated. They're gonna just want more
Then and you know sadly enough
You know, they've been full the homos have infiltrated all these churches and look they're knocking at the Baptist door right now
There's the guy down Lancaster, what's his name Paul Chappell no Paul Chapel
He's saying yeah, let the homos come in and you're not allowed to say anything to him about it
there was a preacher years ago in the south of the 1950s and
they had certain standards that they would not compromise for their Sunday school teachers and
They they had some requirements. We have similar requirements here
And though the times keep changing you pray for me that I stand by my convictions and by Bible convictions those areas
Amen. I
told you you got to help me this morning a little bit so and
This preacher he had someone in his church that was testing that and by the way
Let me just pause to say anybody's welcome at Lancaster Baptist Church. We don't care where they're from what they've done how they're dressed
You just bring them in
But but what's the bot that's not what the Bible says we're supposed to not let those people in okay
So it says who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death
That's what the Bible says. They're worthy of death not only do the same but have pleasure and then that do them
So based upon these very clear scriptures who's doing it, right?
When it comes to the subject of being haters, you know, the Bible says we're supposed to there's a time to hate
There's people that we're supposed to hate and those are the people that hate God and wanted and wanted to say wicked things about God
so, you know
Richter says we should never hate
But the Bible says we should hate those that hate God at this church. We hate when it's appropriate
Okay, and we're not just based on hate only. Okay, but you got a bout you gotta have a balance, you know
You can't just say all hates a bad word. It's worse than blaspheme in the Holy Ghost
You know what? We love the brethren the people we love fellow Christians
