 Welcome everyone to class. Thank you Anita and Jefina for joining class. I'm not sure what happened to the other online students. I would also like to welcome all our e-learning students to this class on Romans. I hope you're enjoying the study so far we just began but I hope you're enjoying the study on the book of Romans. We'll begin with a word of prayer and Jefina to lead us in prayer please. Jefina, can you hear Jefina? We can hear her now. Can you hear her? Yes. Okay, sorry. Yeah, go ahead. Jefina, we thank you for this day. We thank you for the class we are about to have. We just bless all the classmates over here and especially the first pastor Selena who's teaching us. She's teaching us not help us to open our mind and heart and listen to the word and understand it and don't play it in our life Jesus. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and let it be your foundation so that we can go out be both and teach your gospel. We give you all the glory and Jesus. Thank you, Jefina. On Monday we began looking at studying Romans chapter 1. We reached right up to verse 10. We'll move further. We'll look at the rest of the many verses in Romans chapter 1. So can somebody please read Romans chapter 1 verses 11 onwards? So each of you can just maybe read 6-6 verses. So can somebody read Romans chapter 1 verses 11 to 16? Then somebody else can read 16. So another few verses so we can have a couple of you reading 5 or 6 verses please. Romans chapter 1 verses 11 to 16. For I long to see you that I may impart to you some spiritual gifts so that you may be established. That is that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Now I do not want you to be unaware, President, that I often planned to come to you but was hindered until now that I might have some fruit among you also just as among the other gentiles. I am a debtor who pleads and to barbarians both to wise and to unwise. So as much as in me I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes for the due first and also for the freedom. Amen. Amen. Thank you Rosalind. Somebody can read verses 17 to 22. 17 to 22. Anyone would like to read? For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith. As it is written they just shall live by faith. 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 has showed it unto them. For the invisible thing of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his internal power and good head so that they are without extras. Amen. Amen. Thank you Loubega. Somebody can read from 21 to 32. Anyone to 32 or maybe what we'll do is we'll stop here. We'll study verses 11 to 22 and then maybe we can read on after that. Okay. So in verse 11 and 12 Paul says, for I long to see you that I may impart to you some spiritual gift so that you may be established that is that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Now we know that the church at Rome was not a baby church. We know that this church at the church of Rome were founded by believers who were there at the time of Pentecost almost 27 years you know since the church was birth at Rome and you know believers have been there and they've been growing strong in their faith. Their faith has been heard of Paul mentions that and here Paul is saying I want to come and give you some spiritual gifts. Okay. So we see that you know spiritual gifts can be imparted and they can be trained. Some things can be taught and some things can be taught. Okay. So impartation can take place in different ways. No, we can share it. We can teach it. The word impart here in Greek basically means to give a share of. Okay. So the Greek word is metta didomi which means meta is with and didomi means give and this is the same word that is used in Romans chapter 12 verse 8. Okay. If you look at Romans chapter 12 verse 8 it says he who exalts in exhortation he who gives with liberality he who leads with diligence he who shows mercy with cheerfulness. So you know if you have the gift of giving you know it says you give with liberality. So here the word is metta didomi. We read also about this in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 28 and Luke chapter 3 verse 11 where it says you know if a man has two quotes let him give one to another who has none. Okay. So here we see it's basically imparting means to give. So spiritual gifts can be imparted through association when we associate when we relate with people when we associate with them when we fellowship with them it can also be passed on you know from one person to another person through association through fellowship and also it can be taught. Okay. So Paul is saying that he's longing to see the believers at Rome so that he can gift them impact them you know into that through his association through his fellowship just passed on spiritual gifts also he can pass on the spiritual gifts by teaching them and he says that you know he says that he longs to see them and impart to them spiritual gifts so that he can and they can be encouraged and he can also be encouraged him so look at Paul's humility here his humble attitude his attitude is one of not just hey I'm an apostle I'm a great man you know I'm the only one who can impart spiritual gifts to you you people can't impart to me you can only receive for me but we see that you know Paul's humility is that he not only wants to share or give impart spiritual gifts to the churches that he visits or the people that he associates with but also he looks forward to receiving from them so you know as ministers of God you and I also carry grace gifts you know we also have revelations of the truth of God's word so we carry something in us God has given us special grace in special areas he's given us gifts in certain areas you know all of you are also part of the Bible college you're learning so you are receiving the truth of God's word and you're you're carrying something and you even as you carry this you know let it be your desire to give it to people you know to to release it even as you associate even as your fellowship even as you go out and preach and teach you know just impart the grace that gives the truth of God's word that you have received in your life and Paul is intentional about what he's saying here he's saying hey I'm carrying something and I want I know I can impart that to you and I want to give it to you I can impart it you know so so also we need to be very intentional with you know using what God has given to us knowing what we carry knowing what the grace of God that is upon our life and we also need to be intentional in you know sharing it with others giving it out to others and also imparting it to others which means you know there's a christian input we can give and continue to give to those who have been christians even for a long time so Paul is not saying hey you know you are all mature believers so there is nothing that I need to come and give you you know but I would just like to come and meet all of you but he's saying you know even even if you are a mature church you know 27 years you have been growing in the things of God your faith has been spoken of but yet there is more that you can receive so there is a never ending revelation of God's word sorry there is a never ending revelation of God's word the truth of God's word that we can learn that we can receive that we can impart and give to others and there is also you know grace and gifts that we can continue to even pour out into the hearts and the lives of believers that we associate with you know or even christians who have been believers for a long time and make them more stronger secure and make them more established in the faith so even as you and I have you know journeyed along with God in our faith walk we are you know maybe trained in bible college we're studied your teaching you're a pastor and a minister but there is also things that you can receive from other fellow christian believers so never think that there is nothing that you can receive from others we all can receive we can all learn we can always we can give and also we can receive okay versus 13 to 15 Paul says now I do not want you to be unaware president that I often plan to come to you that was hindered until now that I might have some food among you also just as among the other Gentiles I'm a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians both to vice and to unwise so as as much as in me I'm ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also so this is the second time Paul is making known his desire that he wants to come and be with the church the believers at Rome he wants to see them you know in the ministry we also have desires to do a lot of things but Paul makes known that his desire to go and minister to the believers in various cities is not according to what he plans in the flesh but is you know according to the spirit and if we look at this or we read about this in second quarantine's chapter one was 17 he says in second quarantine's chapter one was 17 the things I plan to do I plan it according to the flesh so he plans not according he says the things I plan to do do I plan it according to the flesh he says no I plan it according to the spirit so he plans not according the flesh, but according to the Spirit and he depends on the leading of the Holy Spirit to lead him and guide him. So even as we plan things for our lives, even as we plan things in ministry, just give me a minute please, there is a, okay, even as we plan things in life, plan things for our ministry, we must not plan it according to flesh, but according to the Spirit, you know, where we have to go, what we need to do, whom we need to speak, we need to be constantly be led by the Spirit. And verse 14, he says, I'm a debtor, both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to the unwise. So he says, you know, Paul says, I owe people something to these people. What does he mean? You know, we read in Galatians chapter 2, verses 8 and 9, Paul was a Jew, but we know that Jesus has called him to be an apostle to the Gentiles. And God has appointed him to serve or to minister to a certain group of people. Now, the major part of the Gentiles were Greeks. And we know that the Greeks were highly intellectual people, there were people who think and reason, and they're also barbarians, you know, people who may not be highly educated. Now, why is Paul saying that he's a debtor? Because he was made an apostle, or he had a calling, or he was called to preach both to the Greeks and the barbarians. So Gentiles were basically made up of Greeks and barbarians. His calling as an apostle was to preach, to serve, to teach the Gentiles. And the call of God, he says, makes him indebted. That means he owes them something. Why? Because God has appointed him, God has called him to fulfill a special calling to serve, to minister a special group of people. And the only way that he can pay back the debt, so to speak, is to go to these people that God has asked him to go to and to minister to the people that he has been asked to minister. So he says, he owes the people at Rome something. And he says, hence he's ready to come to them and preach the gospel to them. So he's basically looking at it more as his call. And he says that his call has been an apostle to the Gentiles. And he says, you know, his call makes him, you know, indebted to go and preach and teach and to fulfill what God has called him to do. So we also have a calling upon our life. We are also indebted to God. And the only way we can pay back the debt, so to speak, is to go to the people group, to the nation or to the city that God has called us and preach and teach God's word. Verse 15 he says, so as much as to me, I'm ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. Now, why does Paul say I am ready to preach the gospel? You know, why preach the gospel when people, the believers at the church at Rome are already saved, right? Okay. Now, when we think of gospel, we always think as the gospel, as a good news or the message of salvation, but gospel is not just the message of salvation. It's also the message about the king. It's everything about the king and it's his kingdom. So the gospel is not just about salvation. It's also about the king, everything about the king and also about his kingdom. So the gospel is the good news of the Son of God. It is gospel is about how the kingdom of God operates, the principles in God's kingdom, how the kingdom of God functions. It's also about the Son of God, who he is, what he, how he works, what he does. So all this is about the gospel. So he says, you know, I'm ready to come and preach the gospel to you. Now, we know that when Paul goes to Rome, let's look at what it says in Acts chapter 28, verses 30 and 31. Can somebody just turn a few pages for Acts? Just the one or two pages behind. It's just there. Acts chapter 28, verses 30 and 31. Can somebody read that, please? Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house and received all who came to him, reaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. Amen. So here we see that, you know, what did Paul do when he was in Rome? He was in the house arrest. He had appealed to Caesar. So he was there waiting to meet Caesar. He was, you know, in the house arrest and it allowed him to meet people. And what does it say? He says, I'm ready to preach the gospel. So what is the gospel he preached? He preached the gospel about the kingdom of God. And he taught the things which concerned the Lord Jesus Christ, about who the Lord Jesus Christ is, who the Son of God is, what did he come to do? How did he live his life? So his teaching is about the kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who he is, what he came to do and all that we can receive in the person and the work of Jesus Christ. Where's the Christine? He says, but I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes for the Jew for us and also for the Greek. Okay. So very powerful statement. It says, you know, for us as we shouldn't be ashamed of the gospel. Why? Because it's the message of the kingdom of God and about Jesus Christ. Why shouldn't we be ashamed of this gospel, which is a message of the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ? Because everything we preach and teach is about Jesus Christ. It's about its kingdom. And it's the power of God for salvation. Now we know that salvation is a comprehensive word. It includes healing, deliverance, wholeness, safety, victory, preservation from every harm, danger, protection. So everything that delivers us from sin, sickness and Satan is included in this word, salvation. And so Paul says, you know, I'm not ashamed because I know when I talk about Jesus Christ, which means when I talk about who he is, what he does, everything about him. You know, when I talk about the kingdom of God, when I talk about the power of God, sorry, when I talk about the kingdom of God and I talk about Jesus Christ, the power of God is made available for people to be saved, delivered and healed. It's the power of salvation that takes people out of their lives of sin and misery and sickness to a place where they are part of the kingdom of God and they enjoy his blessings. So that is what Stigfield's a very powerful statement and he says, I'm not ashamed because he says when I talk about Jesus, his kingdom is salvation, the power of God is made available for people to be saved, delivered, healed, but the power of salvation to take place in their lives. Verse 17, foreignates the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written that just shall live by faith. If you read this in the new international version, it says, for in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last just as it is written the righteous will live by faith. Now let's look at the amplified Bible so that we can understand this a little more, better. It says, for in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed both springing from faith and leading to faith and it's in brackets it says this close the way that awakens more faith as it is written and forever remains written that just and upright shall live by faith. Now this is actually a very, very important verse. Why do I say this is a very important verse because this verse gave birth to the Protestant Reformation or the Protestant Movement. Okay, Martin Luther who brought about the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant movement and everything he he did, he drew inspiration from this verse. So this verse is a very monumental verse in the Christian faith or the Protestant faith. Okay, now Paul is saying in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith that means the righteousness of God is revealed from one generation of faith to another generation of faith and then he says righteous will live by faith or the just shall live by faith and so he's quoting here Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4. He uses two words here righteousness and just. Now in the Greek the words righteousness, just, justifier all have the same root word and hence it means the same thing. Okay, now what do we understand from this verse or what did Martin Luther understand so much that it led him to bring about the Protestant Reformation. It says the fact that God is right, he is blameless, he's a right and he's a he's a God who's righteous. So this God who's righteous, blameless and that's what is right you know is revealed where for us is revealed in the scripture. The scripture reveals the righteousness of God and the scripture unveils the righteousness of God, unveils to us God is blameless, he's righteous and you know and in the gospel we see that this righteousness is imparted to the people of faith. Okay, so when this scripture which you know reveals or unveils to us that God is righteous that he is blameless that he's holy and the same scripture when it is preached or it is shared it is imparted to people people who have the faith receive it and when they receive it they become just or righteous. Okay, so when we get saved we know that we become just or we become righteous which means that you know it's not because of our works that we become right in God's sight but it's Christ's righteousness that has been imputed upon us which means Christ's righteousness has been put into our account so to say or we are clothed or we are covered with Christ's righteousness and we become people who live by faith so you know it call and once we become we receive this righteousness we are called to live a life of faith. Okay, so this is what triggered Martin Luther's thinking that the gospel which is a message of grace which is unveiling God's righteousness and that righteousness is given to people who have faith and this righteousness is calling us to live a life of faith it's not calling us to do to live a life of works then he says hey you know we no longer need all of these traditions or rituals because the church during Martin Luther's time was you know filled with traditions and rituals you know you have to do this if your sins have to be covered you have to come you have to come to the church you have to you know speak to the you need to make your confession you know the the Catholics have all of those things you know so it was all about works and then when you read this verse you realize hey it's not works but it is grace okay the righteousness of God is revealed to us is unveiled to us in God's word and when this word is preached to people who have faith they receive it they receive it by faith okay and they are called to live by faith and not by works so how does a person become just it's because the righteousness of God is given to that man how is it given to that man once he accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior when does he accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior when the gospel is preached to him and when it's preached to him he receives salvation he becomes right in God's side he receives the righteousness of God and then he's called to live by faith okay so in the gospel we see the righteousness of God being revealed or the gospel is unveiling the righteousness of God and then we see that the righteousness is imparted to the people of faith and that is how we become just a righteous and then calling the calling here is for us to live by faith so here we see it's grace righteousness and faith okay so that's what this verse explains to us so till verse 17 it's like the introduction of what Paul's letter to the church at Rome now he gets down to serious things where he's talking about God he talks about God's rock he talks about the proof of God's existence and how man denies the existence of God and continues in sin and then he goes on to talk about judgment for sin okay verse 18 and 19 says for the rock of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness because what may be known of God is manifest to them for God has shown it to them again now this verse does not tell us that God is ignoring the sins that is going on in this world but it tells us that God is angry he opposes sin and how man you know ended up in sin or in a situation that he is in now so how did man end up in the sinful situation that he is in now this was to say that men have suppressed the truth instead of acknowledging the truth what he says in verse 19 God has made it plain to them he is revealed the truth the truth is very evident is is plain to them is the truth is made known to them but instead of receiving the truth they have suppressed the truth instead of acknowledging the truth they have suppressed the truth and what has happened it has led them into all kinds of ungodliness and unrighteousness so how has God revealed the truth to them or how does how has God made the truth plain to them you know it leads us to verse 20 in verse 20 he points to Paul points to creation he says in creation the invisible attributes of God are clearly seeing be understood by the things that are made okay so he says in if you look at creation creation reveals the invisible attributes of God it reveals God's eternal power it reveals the Godhead it reveals the trinity and so in verse end of verse 20 he says that they are without excuse okay so verse 19 he says because what may be known of God is manifest in them for God has shown it to them so God how has God made his truth manifest plain easy for them to know in verse 20 he talks about creation creation itself you know reveals the attributes of God you know he says that the invisible attributes of God are clearly seeing being understood by the things that are made and says because God has made his invisible attributes his eternal power the Godhead has been clearly visible is clearly seen in nature we don't have any excuse no one has any excuse that they don't know God that you know they do not know this true and living God okay so no one is without any excuse so he says if anyone makes any excuse show them creation ask them to look at creation because the attributes of God have been put on display in creation so for example you know we know that one of the attributes of God is that he's infinite God okay so how do we look at this and it's an invisibility attribute of God right God is infinite it's an invisible attribute and how do we see this in the universe if you look at the universe there is not just one world just not just one planet called Earth there are numerous planets which we don't even know of there are stars there are billions of stars infinite number of stars and galaxies you know that are there and we don't even know some of them so if you just look at space if you just look at the planets if you look at the stars they're so infinite and it actually reveals to us the infinite nature which is the invisible attribute of God so also there are other attributes of God that is clearly seen in scripture okay many people tell us hey if there is a God show him show him to me or reveal him to me and here scripture tells us that God has given us neither enough evidence to prove that here there is an God who's made all of this and said enough proof to show us the invisible attributes of God it's clearly seen in creation so men and women are without excuse hence he's saying that creation is like a big signpost that says hey there is a God okay and then in verse 20 he goes on to say that you know talks about the creation of the world invisible attributes of the scene which can be clearly understood but the things that are made even is eternal power in Godhead so that pen out without excuse so God makes himself known to God sorry God makes himself known to man through his creation and this is evidence enough that he exists okay verses 21 and 22 because although they knew God they did not glorify him as God nowhere thankful but became futile in the thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened professing to be wise they became fools so he's saying that even though people saw creation and they knew that there is this there is a God who is infinite who is invisible but powerful and creation is so great it's so brilliant that it proves to us the work of God the attributes of God but verse 21 says they knew God they knew everything they saw creation they knew this God but yet they chose not to glorify him as God and what happened when when they came to a point where they knew that there is a God by looking at creation but yet they did not chose to glorify him as God what happens they became vain futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened and professing to be wise they became fools which means they knew the truth but they deliberately departed from the truth okay and we know that you know creation is cannot be an accident it did not just come by a bang and just what it was just coming together and you know it's certain speed at certain temperature and all of those things but when you look at creation we see it as a masterpiece it's the work of a creator a great designer someone who had a plan and a purpose who brought everything in such perfection but yet you know people chose to become foolish in their thinking they became they chose to be fools and when they chose to be fools they profess to be actually wise and what why does Paul says is because he says two scientific reasons they try to bring about scientific reasons for explanation how everything came about in this universe and so professing to be wise by using scientific reasons they're actually becoming foolish because if you look at their scientific reasons reasoning it comes to a dead end where there is no proof for certain things you know say hey how can you how can just temperature just come about how can the perfect temperature just come about how can these molecules or these you know codes or everything just happen automatically they have no proof so trying to be wise they actually became foolish okay then we'll go on to look at what versus 23 to 27 says you can somebody please read versus 23 to 27 please anybody would like to read versus 23 to 27 and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness in the lust of their hearts to dishonor their bodies among themselves to exchange the truth of God for the life and worship the worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever amen for this reason God gave them up to wild passions for even their women exchange the natural use for waters against nature likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust for one another men for one another men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a tea-based mind to do those things which are not fitting amen thank you Rosalind so here we see these verses that instead of worshiping God and giving the glory for who he is what he has done and you know who he is as God you know they looked to corruptible things you know things that will pass away okay they brought brought down the glory of this great creator God and they likened him to a man or to animals or to creeping things okay so they said hey there's God who created everything you know they looked for corruptible things things that will pass away they look for man and they said hey this is God they looked for animals and said this is God and creeping things and said this is God so because man chose to do this you know man knew God okay but yet they did not want to give the glory to God and two times in this passage we read in verses 24 and verse 26 what does God do he gives them up he gives them up he lets them go God let them go God said if this is what you want to do and this is what you think what you this is what you want to think fine you know even though this is not what God wants or this is not what God expects or this is not what God desires it's you know God just gave them up he lets them go he says this is what you want to choose go ahead and choose it so showing us that God respects that we are free moral beings he created as as free moral beings he created us with the gift of volition to choose you know whatever we want to choose and so he says hey you want to choose this in spite of knowing and looking at creation you know that there is a creator God there's an infinite God there is a God and you're taking him and using your knowledge and likening him and giving the glory to a man to to creation and bringing him down to a created being to an animal and I'm going to let you do what you want to do I'm giving you up I'm letting you go and he said it says here he gave them up to uncleanliness so how unclean can man get well he came to a position where they they dishonored God in their bodies and among them selves so when God let them go they went all the way to this extent or this they went all the way to this extreme of even dishonoring their bodies among themselves okay and in verse 25 what he meant is in verse 23 okay in verse 20 he says they changed the glory of corruptible things into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things and verse 25 says to exchange the truth of God for a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who is blessed for ever more okay so what did they do when they changed the glory of God for corruptible things verse 25 says uh they they exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the creator so they worshiped created things rather than the creator God okay look at what was 26 says and for this reason God gave them up to wild passions for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature so he goes on to explain what he meant by saying that no they were dishonoring God among themselves which we read in where do we read that we're dishonoring God among themselves yeah in verse 24 you know God gave them up to uncleanliness the lust of their house to dishonor their bodies among themselves okay so he goes on to explain what he meant by saying that they were dishonoring their bodies among themselves in verse 27 he says women with women and men with men so now this is the climax or the high point of them being wild in their passions and dishonoring God in their bodies the ultimate of uncleanliness of being wild in their passions now we know that this is such a big issue not just in our time and day but it was also right back in the the beginning Genesis Noah's time you know it was also a problem during Paul's time so you know and Bible and it's also a problem in our time today where people are just endorsing all of these things homosexuals and everything just coming into the church as well it's acceptable and they're saying it is how God created them is not how God created them it's because they you know gave up the truth they they took on the lies and that has led them to all of these they've exchanged the truth of God for a life they worshiped and served creature rather than the Creator and that has led them into dishonoring their bodies among themselves okay so we read here in this passage that you know God's word says that this is clearly wrong verse 26 it says it's wild passions and it's against God's natural design okay and we we know that in the world that we live in today there's a demand all over the world for homosexuality to be normal but we see here in script holy scripture that this is not normal this is not God's design or what he intended and this is this honoring God with our bodies okay and then he ends in verses 28 to 32 so can somebody quickly read that please verses 28 to 32 can somebody quickly read verses 28 to 32 verses 28 to 32 and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a debased mind to do those things which are not fitting being filled with all unrighteousness sexual immorality wickedness cautiousness maliciousness full of envy murder strive deceit evil mindedness they are whisperers back writers haters of God violent proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents un-deserving untrustworthy unloving unforgiving unmerciful who knowing the righteous judgment of God's that those who practice such things are deserving of death not only do the same but also approved of those who practice them amen thank you Rosalind so here we see that people chose not to retain God the truth of God and we see that happening even in our day today and what does God do what does God do when they do not retain the truth when they do not want to choose not to retain God God gave them up so for the third time here Paul is saying that God gave them up and what did he give them up to he gave them up to verse 24 we saw that he gave them up to uncleanliness verse 26 we we see that he gave them up to wild lustful passions okay and verse 28 he gave them up to a mind that is corrupt and a thinking that is you know going in the wrong way and then Paul lists out all the things you know that is a result of man's uncleanliness it's a result of man's wild passions and corrupt mind and Paul ends by saying that they will face judgment he said there is eternal consequences and eternal death so you know if anyone says homosexuality is you know created by God it's ordained by God this is how God created them we can't blame them you can show them these verses and you can tell them this is not how God created them this is not what God it's not normal this is not God's design this is not God plan or what he intended and when people engage in these things it's a dishonoring their bodies and then you can go on to verses you know 32 where it says those who practice such things will deserve death they will deserve they will face judgment
