When there was an argument about homosexuality and debauchery and immorality and arguments that Paul had with people you know concerning things like lesbianism and being effeminate and all this stuff we are arguing about today, that's old stuff. Paul, pauses, look. Paul says, look, this is deep, you know. Paul says, I don't need a quote in this scripture to y'all. He says, even nature proves that this ain't right.
Y'all remember that? No, y'all don't remember that, okay. I know some of y'all don't read the Bible, so I don't want to assume that.
Romans chapter 1. Paul is talking about all these things he's fighting over today. You know, same-sex marriage and lesbianism and all this stuff. Paul says, look. He says you don't need God to write something on the wall for you. Look at verse 18. The wrath of God is already revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
That's an important thing. Suppress the truth means, I saw something on CNN yesterday, it still makes me sick thinking about it, a man who became a woman. So they claim. I think it says her name was Steve.
And I'm watching this program now, don't turn the TV off, okay? And I'm sitting there thinking, what is this? Let me read what it was. Verse 18, this is the Bible. This is exactly what you saw on CNN.
It says, the wrath of God is already revealed against that. Men suppress the truth by their wickedness. You cut your penis off and call it a vagina. Now you know it ain't none. But you suppress the fact that it ain't not.
You suppress the truth. The truth is you's a male. But you suppress it.
You put some hormones and get a little bit of bubby. And now you're telling me you's a woman. You ain't no woman.
Anybody with me here? They suppress the truth. The honest truth is I'm a male. What did I say? Oh, sorry.
Boy, my beta stuff comes out sometimes. Tell your neighbor, tell the truth. Let me tell you something.
All my homosexual friends, I love you guys, and girls, lesbians. But you are simply dishonest. If you want to have that kind of sex, just say so.
But don't try to convince us to sanctify it, sanction it, and give it dignity. Just say that's what you want to do. That's all. If you want to use an exit as an entrance, just tell me the honest truth. Don't try to get me to dignify it, sanctify it, glorify it, and then make it legal.
This is crazy. You're suppressing the truth. The truth is this is an exit. This is an exit. Nature say this is an exit.
It's a garbage disposal. This gets rid of waste. Now I ain't attacking nobody. Biology, simple, 101. Biology 101. It's a law.
The law of my rectum is excretion. It's a law. No legislation can transform that into something else. So you see a fella walking around with his wrist break Just say, tell him, legally you are a brother By law you are a brother Your walk don't cancel that law at all Your earrings don't touch that law Your relationship don't change that law These are laws So at least be honest with God, tell God violate your law okay thank you very much be honest what did i do you're making me behave interestingly look at verse 19 look at verse 19. come on all you young people read this please verse 19 because some of you are getting tempted verse 19 says come on i want you to read this in the bible try to get by with pastor i want you to read this Bring this back to your- mind now it says in verse 19 of Romans 1 since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them in nature for since creation of the world God's invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made the dogs got I've never seen two male dogs getting it on. And in Baintown we got pork cakes.
They're wild dogs. They still get scents. He said it's made plain through what? Creation.
So that men are with excuses. These laws are built in the nature. Oh, by the way. Might as well read the next one.
For although they knew God, they go to church, take communion. Yes, they knew God. They neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him.
But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts, although they claimed to be wise. Ooh, yeah. They have become fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God. for images made to look like mortal men and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore, God gave them over in their sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their own bodies with one another. Can I go a little further? They exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
I said, look, this is plain. You're telling me it's legal? And nature says it's illegal. Not me, nature says.
Nature says this is cow-wicked. Two women cannot have children, okay? Let's just, you know, don't lie and tell me this is what you are.
You know, listen, be honest. Now God already gave you over, so you're going to self-destruct. But at least don't try to let, don't make all of us vote to support something illegal.
And I say naturally illegal, naturally illegal. This is why democracy is so dangerous. I am very suspicious of democracy because it makes laws based on majority, not based on what is right. If enough of us agree, we try to make wrong right. I want to also correct something I've been hearing for years in this country.
The voice of the people is the voice of God. That's a lie. Because what you're telling me is if enough of us agree on something, it must be God's voice. Are you crazy? You need to act like Joshua.
Joshua says, look, I don't know about you all, but as for me and my house, sometimes you got to go by your own self. Come on, give God a hand. God's voice may tell you walk alone. Don't let the majority convince you to do evil.
Look at verse 25. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever praised. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations to unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relationships with women who were inflamed with lust. for one another and men committed indecent acts am i reading the bible in these acts with one another with other men received in themselves they receive in themselves the due penalty for their perversion about now let me tell you what you cannot pervert what is not real i want to say this again perversion implies that there's something that is right that you have skewed to be wrong you cannot take and make it wrong you can pervert it so Paul is correct Paul says it's perversion sex is good but you can pervert it you cannot pervert what is not present and what is not good it has to be Present first, then you pervert it.
It's like using a knife that you bought to slice tomatoes and you slice someone's throat. The knife is innocent, but you perverted the knife and made it a weapon. So, as a male, I am pure. And Pastor Richard is a male, he's pure. But we're not built to go together.
But we can be... Pastor Richard don't worry about a thing. But we can decide, that's the problem, to come together. That's called perversion of the male entity.
Perversion. Now if you try to sanctify perversion, dignify perversion, and then legalize perversion, it's impossible. Because it will never work.
Two males cannot produce. Cannot. They can pass all the laws they want.
They can have operations. Surgery. They cannot.
It will never work.
