Them that Defile Themselves

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Ron Graham / Rapture Ready


 

“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers. For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sounddoctrine;”1 Timothy 1:9-10. Contained in these short verses is Paul’s admonition to his young protégé Timothy that the above described sinful actions are contrary to sound doctrine. The portion of the verse above that I’ve underlined is translated from just one Greek word“arsenokoitēs”, which stands out above all others in these verses. Its simple translation into English is homosexuality.

 

In a recent commentary I mentioned how the word of God is being tweaked (changed) on a continual basis. I received numerous responses to that commentary but one in particular caught me by surprise. It’s the way the statement was formed that struck a nerve in my soul. I knew he had hit the nail on the head. “Christians believe in God, but they don’t believe God” Wow! I couldn’t have said it better. The word of God has been passed down through the ages so that all who have a desire to grow closer to Him can do so by diligent Bible study. Hebrew and Greek are the two original languages in which God chose to deliver His word to the masses. About four hundred years ago the entirety of the Scriptures was translated into English. Since then it has been translated into other languages from those same original texts and has now been distributed worldwide. During the distribution of God’s word to every nation, civilizations have undergone a metamorphosis from literally thousands of years of agrarian societies (horse and buggy) almost instantly changing into a civilization fully engulfed in automation and technology. With each step we’ve taken in advancing our culture we’ve fallen back two steps in believing God and His word.

 

Now here we are in the 21st century; a highly technologically advanced society. Who, for the most part, reject God, and all His precepts. Mankind has come to a point that God and His word no longer hold the position of reverence it once did, thus it is no longer relevant to the majority of earth’s population. We are living in a time when Pilates question to Jesus “What is truth” is answered: “Whatever I want it to be”. Today some Christian denominations, as well as non-denominations, dismiss many portions of their Bible as nonsensical, irrelevant, some allegorizing huge portions of it, and others considering God’s word as nothing more than fanciful mythology.

 

Today we see much error and confusion being purposely integrated into the teaching of God’s word, and there’s always a cause and effect that occurs whenever falsehoods are taught as truth. First, the cause: There’s always an underlying malevolent supernatural force purposely leading men and women to teach lies concerning the word of God. Second, the effect: People begin to believe the lies about God and His word, thus they allow themselves to be led away from sound doctrine. The statement I mentioned earlier, “Christians believe in God, but they don’t believe God”, has become a sad commentary on today’s Christian Ekklesia (assembly of the called out).

 

Many Christian congregations around the world are now teaching that our perfect, sinless God does not nor has He ever condemned the practice of homosexuality. For anyone who knows the truth, this teaching is heretical, and whenever I hear of it I’m perplexed. There are numerous scriptures that plainly speak of the abomination of homosexuality and of the consequences of such behavior. God is so opposed to the lifestyle of homosexuality that He deemed the participation in such perversion as worthy of death. That’s a pretty strong punishment for what so many these days preach as an alternative and acceptable lifestyle. “Christians believe in God, but they don’t believe God”.

 

The origin of homosexuality had to have come from outside God’s precepts, thus outside our space/time continuum. Satan knows what the effect of homosexuality will have on any society. He’s played this game numerous times in earth’s history. Every civilization from the dawn of time that fully embraced homosexuality has perished from the face of this earth. That historical fact is so obvious that it should raise some eyebrows here in America. We should all share a sense of foreboding as we come to realize that God will not be mocked.

 

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”Jude 1:6-7. The abomination of homosexuality began way back in the antediluvian world (introduced by fallen angels), was personified in the days of Lot, and it has continued throughout history. Because Satan has been so successful at marginalizing, distorting, and removing the word of God, many simply ignore God’s warnings concerning homosexuality. Today there are Christian congregations embracing homosexuality as a normal lifestyle; they want this abomination embraced by all. In the midst of these congregations we see that the cause has created the desired effect. When pastors stand behind their pulpits and proclaim they too are homosexual and their congregation remains seated listening to these deceived individuals, we know Satan is well on his way to accomplishing his goal.

      Total BS. Arsenokoitēs is an open ended word meaning opposition to something without specifying what. It is a Greek word whose culture was open about homosexual relationships, in fact it was the done thing because it avoided unwanted children.

      In biblical terms it means the oppostion to the spilling of seed including masterbation or any intercouse that can’t produce a child as a sin. It gives full rights to sperm over the rights of women to say no. Typical of sexist religions.
