Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

I don't, in any way, shape, or form. These individuals are headed to the lake of fire fire, and I pray for them.. I pray that the Lord softens their heart, and that they come to know Jesus on a personal level.

Before I became the safe, I was across dresser, and I had some gender dysphoria.. I know what it's like for them, and I know the confusion that they're suffering from. The Lord saved me out of that vile life, and I praise Him, and thank Him everyday for it

Such is the workings of the Devil ! to be sure.

The Workings of the Devil are every where, promoting depravity !

Such people can not enter into the Kingdom of God in fact, because they do not cut it, regarding the List ! for the fact is that they are not worthy of the Kingdom of God, for a fact ! so how can one enter, they can't !

I was thinking about Heaven ? thinking who would be their ? I thought of Some people i would not like to be their ?

I never gave much thought to Gay people in the 60's 70's 80's i just though such people were a joke ! some were ok to talk to and just funny.
Come the 90's and the Gay movment started to get Nazi like dictating their ways over everyone. so i started to dislike that type of forcing people to idolise them ! and that they could threaten anyones livelyhood with no regard with total power over anyone regardless to destroy them ! just like a Nazi could do ! It's the same coating of display that people feer for their lives in a way, for one can not speek out with ones own freedom in any way, it's just the same dealings say as it was under the Nazis ? just that the majority are to stupid to understand such workings and have been brainwashed to accept such as the New Normal ! Do not question any such things or else you are branded as the monster !

But i am ok with some Gays and not ok with outher types of Gays, because some are not a problem but others are a problem ! because they are depraved to outright Evil. I say to others that i known, Who would of thought that such could of come to this ! Gay rights ? is it Gay rights ? or is it truly Gay Demands !

What it is truly is Disrespect ! disrespect for themselves and others ! Period !

As i have said, some i am not bothered by, for they are not a problem, but the Nazi type is a problem ! I do not like such dictating over me at all ! and the people i am more peed off with is the average person ? for they let it happen and get right out of hand !

In the same line of depravity, that the majority of people are guitly of is the lack of true regard for Women !
So that now a Woman is not recognised ! as a Woman in fact ! for such political idiots can not define what a Woman is in fact ! how pathetic ! back in the 1980's they could ! Not now ! people would loose their Job for pointing out the fact !

Why do women call men women ? that astounds me ! A man is always a man regardless as far as i am concerned, period ! it can never change in fact !

I watch History regarding peoples forefathers and i see that the shows nowadays peddle, She was a Strong woman ? this stereo type is played out in spades ? but i noted that the man is never promoted, as he was a Strong man ? The Strong meaning of Strong mind will power ? but what of the feminine qualitys ?
Would the person under display, of wanted to be seen is such a light ? that is just seen as under the trend of nowadays is idolised ?

Reading 1 Cor. 6-10, Gal 5:19-21 & Rom. 1:29- 32, the lists of those that "shall not inherit the kingdom of God" and those "worthy of death", you find those who are fornicators and adulterers, those who slander and gossip, are quarrelsome, those who are jealous, those desiring more than is due them, those who envy others and those who form the cliques, the 'in group' in the churches.

Those who gossip and slander, are quarrel and contentious, or form the clique are in these lists of who isn't going to enter the kingdom of God. We hear so much about Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transsexuals/Transgendered or the Queer(LGBTQ) and their wickedness and banishment from God's kingdom, but...

Who does the most damage to the body of Christ? The gossip and slanderer, or those who are jealous and envy? Maybe it is those who are eager to form the cliques and be in with the spiritual 'in crowd'? NO, NO, it must be that quiet and unassuming young man in the pew who sincerely loves Christ and is truly born again, yet he is gay! He is the real danger to the church?

The mainline churches may be apostate, but it looks like the fundamentalist/evangelical conservative type churches are as bad or worse, being disgustingly hypocritical by biblical standards. This is clear to a great many today, so it is no wonder attendance and reverence for the churches of Christ are going downhill. Maybe we are in that "little season" when Satan is loosed after the 1000 years and Christ's return is near? Is a true 'Holy Spirit brought revival' a real possibility today, and I mean the true revival by the Spirit, not the emotional frauds. Can we or shall we pray for that true revival with hope, with that earnest expectation?

It's just a Trend !

It's just a Trend like Nazi Germany was in a Trend !

It's just like Communism becomes the Trend !

Why do things become Trends ? well it's the Media who peddles it and Governments support it all or Un elected Bodys like the UN etc promote such things as Law.
For they have an agenda !
So what happens is, They work so as to drown out the percentage that have no regard for such, and then They come against you all, with every Dog cunning that they can muster. So as to shut you up or out !

They do Not value free speech in fact ! for such as that can expose Them for who they truly are !
So out comes the old Nazi and Communist tactics to dominate and frighten the rest away in fact ! and then they make Laws, so as to Jail anyone who stands up to them, Free for all Abortions anyone !
No one is allowed to question anything to do with Abortions, it's Forbidden !!! The Political Correct gods have made such Taboo !

So we are living in the Dark Ages ? Backward people who are just like they were with Moloch in fact ! it's the same deal serving the same gods !

What is it that they are Idolising ? Their right to be a Moron ? Government giving power to The lowest denominator ! empowering the fools for Satanic Governments ends ?
Is their depth to the issue ? or is it a Game play, that promotes they who can not see past their own nose, for they are so shallow !
I understand the right's of a Mother, i do not look down on that ! but not just having no regards at all for a Life like that !
If one could be like that, i feer for that people like that are not far removed from the worst of the Nazis and Communist, for they had the same regards in fact ! Total lack of regards anyone in fact ! So i do understand where they are coming from. That's why i do not suport such.
If one suports such you are going to Hell in fact ! for if one can not enter into the Kingdom of God ! they have not a chance to get to Heaven!
Like will their be Abortion in Heaven ? No !

Sexual immorality is not only practiced, it is taught by politicians and other sexually immoral persons.


Those who teach it by promotion or failing to call it for what it is are as guilty as the ones practicing sexual immorality.
Romans 1 says they are deserving of death, so unless God shows His mercy to change your heart you are headed to the infernal regions of hellfire.

28 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; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.


  1. Revelation 2:14
    But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Means have nothing to do with it, and have nothing to do with anyone calling themselves a brother who is sexually immoral.
They do not abide in the doctrine of Christ or walk as He walked. They are evil persons, like wolf in sheep's clothes, they entice others to the same sinful life which they live.

Sexual immorality is friendship with the world AND makes you God's enemy.
And God destroys all His enemies. People can be self deceived you know as well as deceived.

James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.


Immorality Must Be Judged​

9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to [f]keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

And sexual immorality is taught, just like to heathen nations of old taught it to their children, it is taught today by the world.
Revelation 2:14 is New Covenant not old. And it is just as relevant now as then.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”


Such people in the scriptures come to bad endings.

What behaviors do you include under the very broad term "sexual immorality"? Would anal intercourse between husband and wife be "sexual immorality"? What about oral sex, is that "sexually immoral" for a married couple? Is every sexual act apart from penile-vaginal intercourse between a husband and his wife in missionary position "sexually immoral"? How about use of condoms, "sexually immoral"? Was King David "sexually immoral" for having more than one wife? Is God's moral law immutable?

Yes, I consider the translation" sexual immorality" to be a meaningless and useless phrase.

Anal is a death sentance one is a fool regardless ! do you not know History !

Regarding condoms, AIDS is small enough that such can get through the rubber fool ! it's not Safe as idiots promote. and that is not the all of it. you are being fooled into believing the rubber is a fool proof insurance, it's not ! it is an insurance of sorts tho !

Having sex with anyone but that who is your wife is not right period ! because it's a carnal Sin !

Under Grace one is married to one other and the two become as One ! you can not have more, because it does not work that way at all.

Sexual immoral is just that in fact ! Immoral as it's a Sin !

The GOOD LORD says this in several places to several churches .
Ye allow . take note that said YE ALLOW her to teach and to seduce my people .
And churches just let this movement right into its doors . in fact , my friend , if one even dares
to remind the church that this is sin , watch how fast they go after them . chase them right out of the doors they will .
calling the ones who correct , haters who dont know love or God . i seen this too much my friend .
This gringo gonna keep on with all biblcal reminders .
WHO is the judge . GOD is CHRIST IS . and what do HE say about such acts .
SO who is man to try and say and act LIKE GOD is wrong . This is not gonna bode well scott .
Not only that but now they even try and act like other religoins be serving the same God we do .
All under the banner of what they think is OF GOD and is LOVE .
Only it aint of GOD and it aint His love . its another entity scott .
WHO is the one who has desired to be AS GOD .
and how does that one get the worship . through the lusts of the flesh . The devil scott . its the devil
using the name of JESUS to try and seduce the entire christain realm and the false religoins to finally merge as one
and to come against any and all WHO DID NOT CONFORM .
The ecumincal phase has almost run its course .
What do YOU think will follow this phase . THE CRUSADES will follow . it will be CONFORM or DIE .
I know we dont think its possible , BUT IT IS possible . And things like this aint new either .
Always the message of come and gather with us is sent . and in time many do come and merge
THEN it becomes JOIN or PERISH . We almost in the crusade phase . right at the door of it scott .

Folks will do anything to justify their sin my friend . i seen this way too much and specially in these latter years.
But in the end , GOD IS THE JUDGE and has comitted all judgment to the SON .
Any and all who tried to twist His words to honor their sin
made themselves the judge and tells GOD he is wrong and by golly they are right .
THAT aint gonna bode well on the day of the LORD either . THEY can do everything
and anything to try and get sin accepted . To even try and turn God and His christ into the minsitir of sin .
BUT its all a delusion . And though many hands now join with many hands and unify as one
THEY got no chance on the DAY of the LORD who they DENIED and taught rebellion against .
Folks better repent now , while there be time to do so .
Folks hate things in that bible my friend . they hate it and they twist it . Wont bode well on the day of the LORD for such folks either .

No he hasn't.
What is up with you and sexual immorality not existing?
Attacking the scriptures like that.

Here is another example of sexual immorality, the lust of uncleanness.

4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [b]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.

How many here agree with the teaching of these scriptures?
The teaching especially clear and notice 1 Thessalonians 4, what it specifically says!
That if you reject this then your reject the Lord God.


Galatians 5
24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 7:2
Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

1Thessalonians 4
1 Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;

6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.

8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.

To use your example from the prior post, from the NKJV, I'll quote the first sentence you highlighted:

2 Peter 2:6 NKJV "and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;"

I suppose you are interpreting "ungodly" as "sexually immoral(ly)". I imagine you are going to tell us that the sexual immorality in Sodom was homosexuality. Can you find any Scripture that tells us that the sexual immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah was "homosexuality"? Quote it for us!

The NKJV records for us what the Lord GOD Himself declared the iniquity of Sodom -

48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit."

"abomination" is the Hebrew to ebah and the Strong's defines that as "properly something disgusting (morally), that is, (as noun) an abhorrence; especially idolatry or (concretely) an idol:—abominable (custom, thing), abomination."

Read the 40 times that Ezekiel uses to ebah, and you see he uses it in the sense as I showed in bold, not homosexuality.

Compare 1 Cor. 6:9 in the NKJV and in the NRSVue -

"9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites," NKJ V

"9 Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, men who engage in illicit sex," NRSVue

In the NKJV, "fornicators" and "adulterers" are not the same as "homosexuals" or "sodomites", fornicators are distinguished from homosexuals or sodomites!

The NRSVue instead of "fornicators" uses "the sexually immoral". So, we see clearly that EVEN in the NKJV, homosexuals and sodomites are different from fornicators and adulterers.

As far as I'm concerned, I'll toss the phrase "sexually immoral" into the dust bin, and stay with the KJV fornicators or whoremongers. Or the consistent "fornicators" of the ASV.

1 Corinthians 7:2
"Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband."

I find in the evangelical community a disagreement whether "masturbation" is sexually immoral or not. Can you show anywhere that Scripture shows masturbation to be sexually immoral? How about mutual masturbation between husband and wife, M-F?

Are people so dense that they cannot see the same principle as expressed in the idiom -

"One man's trash is another man's treasure" suggests that what one person may consider worthless could be considered valuable by someone else. This phrase often relates to varying perceptions of worth and can apply to a wide array of scenarios, from physical objects to ideas and experiences.

To use your example from the prior post, from the NKJV, I'll quote the first sentence you highlighted:

2 Peter 2:6 NKJV "and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;"

I suppose you are interpreting "ungodly" as "sexually immoral(ly)". I imagine you are going to tell us that the sexual immorality in Sodom was homosexuality. Can you find any Scripture that tells us that the sexual immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah was "homosexuality"? Quote it for us!

The NKJV records for us what the Lord GOD Himself declared the iniquity of Sodom -

48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit."

"abomination" is the Hebrew to ebah and the Strong's defines that as "properly something disgusting (morally), that is, (as noun) an abhorrence; especially idolatry or (concretely) an idol:—abominable (custom, thing), abomination."

Read the 40 times that Ezekiel uses to ebah, and you see he uses it in the sense as I showed in bold, not homosexuality.

Compare 1 Cor. 6:9 in the NKJV and in the NRSVue -

"9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites," NKJ V

"9 Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, men who engage in illicit sex," NRSVue

Crazy,
Here it is in Genesis 19 v4

Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.”

And they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the open square.”

3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.

6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to [a]stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed​

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
