I received some feedback on my article concerning homosexuality. Let me be clear: the Bible plainly states that homosexuality is a sin:
Romans 1:18-32
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
For our government to condone sin and make a mockery of morality shows the level of evil that permeates our “government”. From “The 5000 Year Leap”:
Characteristics of Anglo-Saxon Common Law or People’s Law:
There were only four “crimes” or offenses against the whole people:
Treason
Cowardice
Desertion
Homosexuality
All four were capital offenses.
Why was homosexuality considered a crime punishable by death by both Common Law and the Bible? Second, why is the government so hell bent on destroying the morality of the country?
I know the answers and so do you. And so do our churches who accept immorality in violation of the Word of God.
David DeGerolamo
Amen, Brother Dave.
“And so do our churches who accept immorality in violation of the Word of God.” Predominately black churches have no problem preaching politics and leading their congregations, Muslim churches have no problem doing the same, why do predominately white church pastors not preach the gospel ? Instead they seem to just talk about the latest government approved party concern. Right now its about our “duty” to accept our share of Muslim immigrants.
Our sick churches act in this manner because God has caused them to be in derision and derision it’s for them. they have no biblical spinal fluid and no common sense what so ever any longer, God has removed it from them. The time of purging is upon us now. God tells his people to flee from these type of churches because Satan rules in them.
Romans 1:20… “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”
Does that verse read “…against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness…” or does it not? Fortunately for us God is not pouring out His just wrath on this sick world as of yet.
“Why was homosexuality considered a crime punishable by death by both Common Law and the Bible?”
What should I or anyone care about the common law of men? Since when are we ruled by equal and reasonable application of law at all? Romans 13 anyone? So too were there far less offensive Biblical offenses punishable by death in the dispensation of the Law. Adultery was punishable by death… for both the man and the woman (read Lev 18, 19 and 20). Since we exist in the dispensation of grace (and NOT the law) what does this matter? Are you suggesting, as the muslims do, that homosexuals “should” be killed?
“Second, why is the government so hell bent on destroying the morality of the country?”
Consider carefully these two verses:
Luke 4:5-6… “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.”
A better question is; “why are all governments so hell bent on destroying the world?” “Morality” has little to do with it as morality is subjective. It is because satan owns the seat of highest power in this world and he gives lower positions to whoever suits him. In Amerika of late it is to “men” such as; bush 1, clinton, bush 2, obama and perhaps bush 3 or clinton 2… It could be a cruz, sanders or a rubio, but it is up to him. Dominion of earth (as opposed to heaven) was given to him by Adam (who got it from God) when Adam chose to obey satan over our Creator God.
Atheists can be “moral” people. All the morality in the universe will not buy a man one second of eternity with God. If I come up with the cure for cancer and provide it freely to the entire world and die without Christ, where am I going? I am going to spend eternity in hell because I believed not the one thing God asks me to believe. The gospel of my salvation.

Dave, can you tell me specifically what that is (the gospel of my salvation) using scripture please?
“Predominately black churches have no problem preaching politics and leading their congregations, Muslim churches have no problem doing the same, why do predominately white church pastors not preach the gospel ?”
As a white pastor I am not sure I follow you. What gospel?
And Phil; what is this “time of purging” you speak of? Scripture please.

Simply believing that one thing (the gospel of his salvation) will however, buy him ALL eternity.
Gods grace is in no way, shape or form dependent upon what we DO here; good OR evil. The grace of God in this present dispensation is entirely dependent upon what God did on mans behalf. To think otherwise is to place religion over Gods very Word which far to many men do. Religion (all religion) states that there is something a man can do to be pleasing to God and that the man must do such a thing to be in Gods “good graces”. Get baptized, pay tithe, attend church, don’t drink, be straight… add your own “church doctrine” here, ignoring appropriate rightly divided Bible doctrine.
A true Christian knows that there is NOTHING he can do to save himself, or to please God before he is saved. A true Christian knows one thing very well… he knows he is lost and hell bound and that God provided all he needed on the cross, for him, in Christ. Period. That same true Christian then has a whole lot of wonderful things to learn thereafter; but he either knows that or he is no Christian… he’s just another religious man. The world is full of them. Churches, mosques and synagogues are filthy with them. It is these places men should flee with haste.
Titus 3:3-7… “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
I say again, re-think grace y’all. Read Romans chapters 1-8 (KJB only) and Ephesians chapters 1-3 (KJB only) over and over until you see that through Paul something new has occurred. Paul is our apostle, not Peter and the twelve, who taught the law.
Romans 3:21… “BUT NOW the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;”
Romans 6:22… “BUT NOW being made free from sin, and become servents to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.”
Romans 7:6… “BUT NOW we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
Romans 16:25-27… “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the MYSTERY, which was KEPT SECRET since the world began, BUT NOW is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to ALL nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.”
Grace and peace… it is a mystery to way too many. Let it be no longer a mystery to you.
