Romans 1:18-32 (KJV) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
I find it insulting anymore to see what so many so called Christians share in their news feed, and I don't mean what the hackers do. I mean what people choose to allow in their lives even after being shown Gods rejection for it. Some of the idolatry and symbolism and imagery that gets passed around ...
I am far from better than anyone, but I don't make excuses or justify. I simply admit. I still watch programming and movies on Netflix. I still enjoy video games occasionally, but my time is more well spent in Gods word of late. Where as many of you have all but ignored God entirely in your daily lives. I see it all too well in your posts. Many times I must remove you to avoid being unequally yoked. Sometimes I make it a point to tell you, but you never listen. You ostracize me for making you aware of God's Word. How do you think that makes Him feel? Because He is who this is all about. Your disputes are never with me, they are with Him. I am only the messenger and you choose to kill me rather than heed my words of warning ... worse yet I have to remove those of you who choose to argue and confuse because I will not allow that demonic spirit to reign in my ministry. If you cannot handle biblical reproach then I pity you ...
We are in a different age and perhaps facebook has become to me as Rome was to Paul ... albeit a stretch by comparison, but the sentiment is the same still. My numbers would be larger if I were in this for the money and tickling your ears. Well I hate the need for money and the only ears I tickle are my wive's ...
My point is that many of you are dragging yourselves straight to Hell without any help from the devil ...
So continue in your selfish vanities, in your fables and witchery. I can do nothing to stop you, tho it saddens my heart to see where many of you are heading ...
