Dose it say in the Bible (even an old barn needs a new coat of somethings )

Isreal's comment on 2020-12-18 23:25:53:

When I believe I know how God can work and what He will or won't do or what is even realistic and possible based off of my experience and understanding of the world I am actually learning on that understanding. One must discard what their senses, knowledge and experience tells them is possible for that is the knowledge and understanding of man. Instead know that anything is possible for our Father regardless of what we have been taught. He did drop meat from the sky and produced bread on the ground and brought water from rocks for the Israelites while they traveled through the wilderness. Those are what seem to be extremely unrealistic and impossible tasks in our eyes yet for God they were delivered daily as if no problem. If God wanted me could produce a brand new vehicle out of thin air and drop it in your driveway if He chose to do so regardless of what you may understand to possible. Place no limitations on God and what he can or will do and be amazed at the wonders He will reveal to you.

This is the only other verse in the KJV that mentions the word "unseemly". More proof of what I already concluded: "unseemly" means "against its own nature" not "against man-made customs".

Frank Garcia's comment on 2020-08-26 21:34:43:

My dear brother indeed the words of the Holy Spirit are true so the Holy Bible are also true to the Christian because we walk by faith without faith the words in the bible are not understood because the words of the Bible are spiritual not of the natural. May love follow you in words and faith.

The bible is the written word of Almighty God,and nothing cannot change it.Whatever we sowed we shall reap.

Solomon N.'s comment on 2014-09-13 14:48:28:

It is abnormal when a man is seeking sexual interest from fellow man . But remember those those who think they can correct God now will be sorry when they will stand before the judgement seat.

Alwyn Charles's comment on 2014-04-02 01:02:19:

The Bible is the Authoritative word of God. For all those that know everything but really know nothing. There is a day of Judgement.

Bruce's comment on 2014-02-23 17:01:34:

THE WORD OF GOD has proven itself to the fullest What we see happening is clearly written in the Bible When we say that the gay life is an abomination according to the word of God we find so many people trying to justify the life style by saying the Bible isn t real or we have people that try to understand it from a carnal non believers mind It s sad but true that theses things must come to pass as the Bible said they would GAY LIFE STYLES GOES AGAINST the creative act that God put in place We need more true born again believers to stand up and say yes I am intolerant to anything that will cause you to go to hell It s our Job to cry loud and spare not God s word has been here long before we have and it has not lost it s power when lived according to our faith Yes all sin is sin on the other hand Men having sex with other men leaving the natural use of the woman which God created is a out right ABOMINATION

ephraim's comment on 2014-02-18 13:47:20:

God made man and women for procreation the question is can marriage of man and man fullfil this purpose Let us not deceive ourselves this union negates the natural purpose of creation It is nothing than sodomy and fragrant abuse of nature take it or reject at your own peril

What do I think about romans 1 27 What is written

Bubba's comment on 2014-02-11 17:29:01:

This argument only holds true if you believe the bible is the word of God Which it is not

Happy's comment on 2014-01-13 19:46:53:

The world is lost and they have tried to divert from the truth. People are defending same sex marriages as if it was God's plan. May God help his people to stand firm against it.

andre's comment on 2014-01-05 11:01:56:

CARTER's comment on 2013-11-17 03:43:30:

IT IS GOD NOT PAUL WHO SPOKE THESE WORDS, SO MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO LIVE RIGHT, THIS IS MY PRAYER. FOR WE ALL WILL STAND BEFORE HIM, SO CLEAN UP WHAT YOU HAVE MESSED UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Enlightened One's comment on 2013-10-19 09:23:06:

Hello I mean did GOD say this or was it Paul. Lets be careful of who we're calling GOD

Zo's comment on 2013-09-26 17:37:22:

We all know stories were orated over time and finally binded into the Bible. Therefore this entire book is interpretation and has been and will continue to be taken out of context. Recompence (Romans 1:27) is not even a word anymore! But yet and still we dame, we judge, and ridicule people everyday because the way they choose to live their lives. Leave it to GOD to judge because at the end of the day, not anyone of you or anyone else can verify or prove that anything mentioned in the Bible or interpreted to be in the Bible has sent anyone to hell or purgatory. People are so willing to follow the masses. Get your life and know that you too shall be judged. Will YOU go to HEAVEN or HELL because as the Bible makes clear, SIN is SIN!

Janice Brown's comment on 2013-07-08 15:38:22:

My Thoughts: For it is written, this thing is an act of abomination to God, this is there own evil thoughts, lustful minds, evil deeds. Although God loves them, he hate their evil ways. THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO BE SAVED FROM THIS UNNATURALNESS IS TO BE BORN AGAIN. Take off the old man putting on the new. Becoming Christ-like, it will no longer be you, but Christ in you who will strengthen you to do and become righteous being. AMEN!!
