Romans 1:18- 2:3
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 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:
21 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.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 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.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 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.
26 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:
27 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.
28 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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 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.
1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Is sodomy a sin? or is sodomy God`s judgement on a sinful community,nation or world????

what a bunch of frauds sitting around the table.Punt`s talks about abomination and what does the Bible say about lying and lying and lying.
Proverbs 12/22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord but they that deal truly are his delight.Rev 21/27 and there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth ,neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie ----.how can robinson`s wife and paisley`s reporter mcilvene rebuke sin when it has been unchallenged from the pulpits of
fpc and the mighty clerics that infest them.Lots and lots and lots of breathtaking lies and devilish deceit.Satan or the dup/fp cannot reprove sin.So iris robinson the phoney should stop trying to defend God`s word when she is a total stranger to the great precepts contained therein. Jeremiah 8/12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations,nay they were not at all ashamed neither could they blush----.no not even when they collect 3 salaries for pretending to do 3 jobs. It is so sad that this province had to suffer the invective from Pastry for so long to be them sold out by him and the dup liars.There will be a day of reckoning God willing very very soon.
Sam asks . . .
"Is sodomy a sin? or is sodomy God`s judgement on a sinful community,nation or world????"
Answer . . yes on both points.
Is sodomy a sin?
Answer: Lev. 18:22
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Is sodomy God`s judgement on a sinful community,nation or world????"
Answer: Lev. 18:24-25
"Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants."
James comment reminds us further that those who forged this wicked power-sharing alliance with SF/IRA lack the moral authority themselves to call into question the conduct of others.
Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.
There but by the grace of God go I . . .

Mr PP;
Very interesting points you make. What is your view on the word "Sodomite" in the original language in the OT. Does it imply they are individuals who are set apart for destruction?
Does it seem odd to you that this particular topic has been carried on by MSM day after day. Surely this could not happen without some degree of orchestration??

In answer to your questions,
"Mr PP;
Very interesting points you make. 1)What is your view on the word "Sodomite" in the original language in the OT.
I'm no prophet . . nor the son of a prophet, but I offer the following answer to your question found here: http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/sodomitesin.htm
"The sodomite of the O.T. refers to male prostitution and homosexual moral perversion practiced in connection with idolatry (De. 23:17; 1 Ki. 14:24; 15:12; 22:46; 2 Ki. 23:7). The same Hebrew word is translated “unclean” (Job 36:14). The term is connected with the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah and has come to be identified with homosexuality and moral perversion in general. The 1828 Webster dictionary defined “sodomy” as “a crime against nature.” The Webster’s Deluxe Unabridged Dictionary of 1983 defines sodomy as “any sexual intercourse regarded as abnormal, as between persons of the same sex, especially males, or between a person and an animal.” The term is descriptive of the moral perversion of the city of Sodom (Gen. 19; Jude 7).
THE NIV TRANSLATION OF SODOMY: Some modern translations, such as the New International Version, replace the word “sodomite” with “male temple prostitutes.” This rendering is an interpretation as is the rendering “sodomite.” According to Strong’s, the Hebrew term is “qadesh, kaw-dashe’; from H6942; a (quasi) sacred person, i.e. (techn.) a (male) devotee (by prostitution) to licentious idolatry.” In the Authorized Version this Hebrew word is translated “sodomite” and “unclean.” The term “sodomite” was brought over from the Geneva Bible. Many older Bible dictionaries connect sodomy with homosexuality. Eadie (1872) defines Sodomite as “not dwellers in Sodom, but practisers of unnatural lust÷the sin of Sodom. This sin was consecrated in many Eastern kingdoms.” The People’s Bible Encyclopedia by Charles Randall Barnes (1903) says: “The sodomites were not inhabitants of Sodom, nor their descendants, but men consecrated to the unnatural vice of Sodom (Gen. 19:5; comp. Rom. 1:27) as a religious rite.” Note that Barnes connects the sin of sodomy with the homosexuality described in Romans 1:27. Hastings (1898) says: “The term ÎSodomite’ is used in Scripture to describe offences against the laws of nature which were FREQUENTLY connected with idolatrous practices” (emphasis ours). Note that Hastings did not claim that the offences against the laws of nature were restricted solely to idolatrous temple worship. The term “sodomy” in these passages doubtless did refer, at least in part, to homosexuality connected with immoral pagan religions. The problem with the NIV translation is that it LIMITS this sin to that particular connection rather than allowing the larger meaning of homosexuality in general. It also creates the confusion that the practice of sodomy in the Old Testament and the sin of Sodom itself was limited to male prostitution.
OTHER BIBLE TERMS FOR SODOMY. Some contend that the Bible only condemns prostitution and forced immorality, and that sodomy, or homosexuality, in general, is not addressed in the Word of God. That this is not true is evident by the terminology used in the following passages of Scripture. The language the Holy Spirit uses in the N.T. to describe same-sex relations prove that God considers this a great wickedness, whether or not it is done with consent÷"uncleanness" (Rom. 1:24); “dishonour their own bodies between themselves” (Ro. 1:24); “vile affections” (Rom. 1:26); “that which is against nature” (Rom. 1:26); “that which is unseemly” (Rom. 1:27); “reprobate mind” (Rom. 1:28); “effeminate” (1 Cor. 6:9); “abusers of themselves with mankind” (1 Cor. 6:9); “inordinate affection” (Col. 3:5); “them that defile themselves with mankind” (1 Tim. 1:10); “filthy conversation” (2 Pet. 2:7); “going after strange flesh” (Jude 7). Under the Mosaic law homosexuality required the death penalty (Lev. 18:22-29; 20:13). The terminology used in the passages in Leviticus describe and condemn homosexuality in general÷man lying with man, and woman lying with woman.
WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF SODOMY? (1) It is an abomination (Lev. 18:22). (2) It bore the death penalty in the O.T. dispensation (Lev. 20:13; Rom. 1:32). (3) It defiles the land (Lev. 18:25). (4) It is the product of a morally reprobate mind (Rom. 1:26-28). (5) It is worthy of the judgment of eternal fire (Jude 7). (6) It can be forgiven and cleansed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 6:9-11).
IS SODOMY A GREATER SIN? While it is true that there are many sins other than homosexuality and all sin is wicked before God, and while it is true that any sin can be forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ, the Bible does not say that all sin is the same in its effect in this world. God did not pour our fire and brimstone upon Sodom because of its jealousy or covetousness or lack of hospitality. It was judged specifically because of its homosexuality (Jude 7). Though all moral sins are evil in God’s eye, homosexuality is especially corrupt because it is a sin against nature itself. It destroys the very fabric of society, which is the family as defined biblically÷a man and a woman united in holy matrimony rearing children to fear God and to be productive citizens. Homosexuality is to “change the natural use into that which is against nature” (Rom. 1:26)."
Question #2
Does it imply they are individuals who are set apart for destruction?"
No it is still the day of salvation . . the day of grace . . and thankfully God is no "respecter of persons" They, like all unconverted, unregenerated, unsaved sinners, need to experience the transforming power of the gospel.
Romans 1:16
1 Cor. 6:9-11 comes to mind . .
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
Your Question:
"Does it seem odd to you that this particular topic has been carried on by MSM day after day."
On the surface it appears to be a diversionary tactic meant to deflect attention from the wicked power-sharing alliance forged by the former DUP leader & First Minister Ian Paisley with SF/IRA. On biblical grounds, both must be vigorously denounced.
