Podcast: Depart from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. (Psalm 34)

 

 

 

Avoid the evil.

Be careful concerning that which you choose to watch on TV.  There is great evil flaunted before our face today.  Many sins against God are approved by humans today.  So it is up to us to avoid those sins when we choose what we will use as a pastime.

There was a time when movie makers had to go by a code and could not film many of the sins of man that are listed in the Bible.

But that is not the case today.

I Corinthians 6

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexual/lesbians), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

People now think they have a "right" to do all manner of things without any judgment.

The Bible tells us about the last days and how lawlessness will be rampant and violence will be a way of life.  I'm still shocked by the thinking of many today.  But it shows us how much closer we are to judgment of God and the return of Jesus.

2 Corinthians 6

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?  for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Save yourselves from this untoward generation, says Paul.

Even in the days of Lot, homosexuals were living in every quarter of the city of Sodom.  God sent 2 angels to Sodom to remove Lot and also to destroy Sodom with fire and brimstone. (Genesis 19)

2 Peter 2

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

(The evil of Sodom is shown in Genesis 19:4-5 ... men of Sodom "from every quarter" were homosexuals.)

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

The apostle Paul tells us the last days before the return of Jesus will be dangerous.

2 Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection (homosexual & lesbians), trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness. (attending church), but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Turn away from evil when you see evil.

What God says in the Bible concerning homosexuals and lesbians:

Romans 1

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;

Some say they were just born this way:  

Jesus says:

Mark 10:6  From the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.  

(God turned them over to vile affections and to a reprobate mind.  Romans 1:26-28)

Concerning fornication:

I Corinthians 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

💥💥💥

Concerning adultery:

Mark 10

Jesus says:  11 Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Therefore we must not show approval of sins of man, such as homosexual/lesbian, fornication, adultery.

Depart from evil and do good.  Seek peace and pursue it.   (Psalm 34)
