Drunkenness, God speakes of this as a sin. It was, and it led to death.
The sins of the flesh takes many forms. If mankind doesn't know what is sin they are not held accountable untill told. Some call this the Age of Accountability. This is what this series is all about.
To inform and to in-lighten. Look closely what Paul says about judgment of different types of people. The Apostle Paul backs up what I have said in Romans 2:12, For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law, and in Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. I had not known sin, but by the law: The Law of Judgment or Mercy. For there are still those that live in both. Sin is a learned system.
Mankind in this day and age are without excuse as far as knowing the difference between right and wrong. All men know that there is a God and they also know that there will be a judgment. The law of man was based on the laws of God. We have God in our Laws, on our Money and even at the very doors of the Supream Court . Thou Shall Not ! Atheist say they don't believe in God, well I'm afraid that God doesn't believe in an Atheist. Now lets take a look at the sin, Effeminacy. Effeminacy; [from effeminate.] The softness, delicacy and weakness in men, which are characteristic of the female sex, but which in males are deemed a reproach; unmanly delicacy; womanish softness or weakness.(Cross Dressers.)
Voluptuousness; indulgence in unmanly pleasures; lasciviousness = (Feeling or devoted to sexual love or desire: Amative, Amorous, Concupiscent, Erotic, Lecherous, Lewd, Libidinous, Lustful, Lusty, Salacious, & Asexual. Of, concerning, or promoting sexual love or desire: In American legal jargon, lascivious is a semi-technical term indicating immoral sexual thoughts or actions. It is often used in the legal description of criminal acts in which some sort of sexual activity is prohibited to differentiate that activity from innocent conduct.
For example, a lewd or lascivious act would refer to sex crimes such as child rape. Whether an action amounts to lascivious conduct rests to a large degree on whether society is currently condemning the action. For example, lascivious cohabitation refers to a mostly archaic crime of living with a member of the opposite sex, and having sexual intercourse (Homosexuals) with him or her.). Having unsuitable feminine qualities, not manly, womanish, Having qualities more appropriate to women than to men. Characterized by excessive softness or self-indulgence, the trait of being effeminate (derogatory of a man)
This is men (or Women) who are pretending to be something that they are not. Having the hardness of Heart, ignoring the basic law of nature. 1st. Co 6:9-10; 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.
Be not deceived, God is very specific on sin and its consequences. God has never made man sinful in nature, man creates his own sin after birth and makes his own choice weather to be an effeminate. The old excuse, They cant help what they are. is not acceptable with God. He destroyed Sodam and Gamorah for that very fact. The life style that many live today are learned Characteristics and made by freedom of Choice. Our Television is becoming full of debotchery and learning tools that will turn many into something they are not. Sin comes by the acceptance of society of lifestyles and acts that are against nature and against God.
Many say that, I serve no gods, but in fact they are serving not one, but many. As such stated by Paul Himself in Galations 4:8, Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. This is not a disease of the flesh but a disease of the mind and spirit. A Spirit that is in bondage to Sin and Satan. In other words man was not born into Homo-sexuality nor into being an effeminate.
Remember this, write it down, burn it into your memory; God will not create something that He has already Condemned! Here is Gods answer to those that do not believe His word and will not obey His laws of Conduct. Psa 50:16-22; But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. end part 4. ars |
