Have you ever wondering why there are so much homosexuality in our days than before? Even some of us personally know someone who is Christian but also become gay or declare their gender identity. What should we do as Christians. Signs of time.
Well, whenever people became vain in their imaginations, where they are professing themselves to be wise in their conceits or self-satisfaction and gratification, they become fools. And God brings His judgments down upon them. Look at the first sin God names in Roman, where He speaks of this same thing.
Homosexuality tops the list. In Sodom, homosexuality was prominent in God's narrative of that place. None of this is by coincidence. When man turns away from righteousness and starts to forsake God, he becomes like a beast, carnal where his prominent desire is the lusts of the flesh. He is filled with coveting, Greed, pride, violence, vanity, and sexual perversions (lusts).
The increase of homosexuality is the sign that
God has then given them up to these things to defile themselves in abominations
because of their
continued unfaithfulness. They grow worse and worse (as it is today) until it becomes a earthly judgment before the final heavenly judgment. See Romans chapter 1 where God speaks of their foolish unfaithfulness and says
"Wherefore," (or in other words,
because they were unwilling to retain Him in their knowledge, and they chose instead to do whatsoever was right in their own eyes), God gave them up. That is the language of God abandoning them, removing His Spirit that restrains evil, and allowed them to act out all the evil of their heart which He had previously hindered. 2nd Thessalonians calls it the Restrainer taken out of the midst, and revelation chapter 20 calls it Satan being unbound. These all point to this same act of
"giving them up" by God. It is God taking away his hand of restraint and allowing wickedness to multiply on the face of the earth as judgment, a precursor to Christ's second advent. This unfettered rise of acceptance of Homosexuality is part and parcel of this "giving them up" by God. Everything in this chapter of Romans has been witnessed right here in this forum continually.
Romans 1:24-32
- "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 recompense 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."
If that's not a commentary on the world today, I don't know what is. And particularly the growing apostasy in the church. The church today is continually making excuses not to be obedient to God's word, excusing homosexuality, fornication, divorce, undisciplined children, lusts, virtually everything under the sun can be rationalized away by the church today in name of "love" and "equality". And the mantra is, "don't you dare judge!"
Why now? Because I believe that we are very close to the Lord's second advent, and these are part of the signs "His servants" were prophesied to see, which other professing Christians deny even exist, or rationalize away as nothing special. They will insist that we continue to show love and show some tolerate toward their sin. To them it is the same "business as usual" of the world.
