Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
kmcheng, Paul wrote those infallible and seemingly very unloving sounding words under the Holy Spirit's guidance (Romans 1:15-32). Lawfully written since the Holy Spirit is ofttimes referred to as our Advocate (Attorney) and I can't help but now wonder in our day, wherein modern "christians" would never adhere to the Bible because that would just make them sound nuts (I've learned that here in reading the religious wisdom of someone else) if God The Holy Spirit had failed in His politically correct speech classes so as not to offend anyone He spoke about, including homosexuals and all those fine "christian" church religions which ordain homosexuals (gay men and dyke lesbians) into their ecclesiastical clergy.
Sheesh, what was wrong with the apostle Paul in not refusing to record such seemingly hateful words when he should have been able to forsee the day when it would come to pass that ALL WE NEED IS LUV, LUV, THAT'S ALL WE NEED IS LUV.
because many christians don't want to offend people (or want to get praise from people, depend which way you look at it), so they don't want to speak out against abortion and homosexuality, and the marriage with it.
Well, being a christian will bother someone, you may as well as not being a christian.
Jesus call believer to be salt in the world. Salt favor, salt also bother. If people are not bothered, we are not good christian
bible has a clear warming about the consquence of fearing people instead of fear Go - That's how Saul lose his throne in 1 Samual. If christian fear people, then he is not much useful in God's kingdom.
