Genesis 1:27
King James Version
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
"It's a boy!"
"It's a girl!"
Those are what we have come to know, the day we were born.
What caused the deviation?
Or, who did?
Who else causes confusion?
Who else causes man to sin?
Who else mocks God's creation?
Who else plants seeds of doubt in our minds?
1 Peter 5:8
King James Version
8 Be sober,
be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
Where the enemy is, expect deception, distortion, deviation, and destruction.
He will fill us with perverse thoughts.
But GOD's creation was clear:
Genesis 5:2
King James Version
2 Male and female created he them;
and blessed them,
and called their name Adam,
in the day when they were created.
JESUS was clear:
Matthew 19:4
King James Version
4 And he answered and said unto them,
Have ye not read,
that he which made them at the beginning
made them male and female,
SCRIPTURE pointed out the perversion:
Romans 1:26-27
King James Version
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.
The fallen flesh is really an abomination to God.
Galatians 5:19-21
King James Version
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like:
of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Let us walk in the SPIRIT.
That we may be saved from further sin.
Galatians 5:16-17
King James Version
16 This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
We are to hold our bodies sacred, for this reason:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
King James Version
19 What?
know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit,
which are God's.
JESUS asked we be perfect.
Matthew 5:48
King James Version
48 Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.
To the believing mind, you will want to be obedient to GOD.
To the unbelieving mind, you will find excuses not to obey.
There is such a thing as the WRATH of GOD.
Romans 1:18
King James Version
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Would you be prepared for that?
