Philippians 2:14-15, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life [THE GOSPEL]; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
Most Bible students interpret Romans chapter one with the individual sinner
in view, and this is proper, because ultimately we will all stand alone as
individuals before God in eternity. Yet (as a dear web visitor pointed out
to me this week), throughout Romans 1 plural terms are used. You can
actually see the progression of the USA right down the Romans 1 road.
FIRST, we started worshipping the creature more than the Creator in the 1960s, with all the evolution and nature worship (notice that ten plural pronouns are used)...
Romans 1:20-25, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 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. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 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.”
THEN, God gave Americans over to fornication (aka, “free love”). After that we, as a nation, did not repent, so God gave us over to the sin of homosexuality, letting us go down the road we were already traveling down toward destruction...
Romans 1:26-27, “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: 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.”
TRAGICALLY, we are still not showing any signs of turning from our wicked ways in America, so God is giving us over completely, as a heathen society, to all wickedness and ungodliness. God is giving us enough rope to hang ourselves...
Romans 1:28-32, “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; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Satan pounded the nails in our nation's coffin
in 1963, when we removed and banned God's Word from our classrooms. It is
not a coincidence that in 1962 homosexuality was still a punishable crime in
all 50 states, but then that began to change immediately following the
removal of God's Word from our schools. Our wicked nation legalized abortion
in 1973. In 1988 our nation ruled that a biological father had no right to
stop a pregnant mother from murdering his child. America shamefully
legalized “gay marriage” in 2015. And may I say, homosexuality is not a
“lifestyle,” it is a “deathstyle.” And then we legalized transgendered men
(perverts) using women's restrooms. We are witnessing Romans 1 in living
colors. Woe unto the USA!!!
Romans Chapter One is All About Accepting Or Rejecting the Gospel
Do
you know what Romans chapter one is saying? The Bible is saying that God
lets people be people. I can prove it, with the chapter that everyone
overlooks in Romans two! Romans 2:4-6, “Or despisest thou the riches of
his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the
goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and
impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every
man according to his deeds.” God is incredibly patient. We learn in
Romans 1:18 that the unrighteous “HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”
So God says, fine, have it your way, but judgment day is coming. God is so ethical that He won't force Himself on anyone. The wicked fully KNOW what they are doing. They CHOOSE to live without God, hating even the knowledge of God (Romans 1:28). So, God never gives up on anyone getting saved. But He knows when someone rejects Him, and only then does He give them over to their vile affections and lusts, to dishonor themselves with one another, laying up God's wrath against themselves on the DAY OF WRATH (which is what the Word of God calls it) when all unbelievers will face the inexplicable horrifying judgment of God. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
The alternative is to get saved, by trusting the Good News (Gospel) of Christ Jesus, and then the blood of Jesus washes away all your sins, and you are under grace instead of the curse of the law. Carefully notice that everything said in Romans chapter 1:17-32 follows Romans 1:16 about “THE GOSPEL,” “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans chapter one is all about THE GOSPEL my friend. Either you believe the Gospel and are safe in Jesus Christ, or else you are an idolatrous Christ-rejecter and God gives you over to your sins to lay up wrath against yourself on judgment day. That is what Romans one is about.
People error in doctrine when they attempt to make the issue about
homosexuality. Whether an adulterer, murderer, gossiper, drunkard,
pedophile, feminist, coveter, thief, kidnapper, whoremonger or filthy
homosexual, one sinner is no different than the next as far as God's
judgment is concerned. All sin is black! All sin brings the harsh judgment
of God! There are only two categories of sinners in God's sight: redeemed
and condemned.
Woe Unto the United States of America!
I saw something really sad and horrific in the news this week. As an adult man was drowning in Florida, crying out for someone to get help, four punk teenagers recorded the drowning, while laughing and cruelly saying to the desperate man, “You're going to die!” Well, he did die. Those brats should all be water-boarded! Seriously, a good beating would be the best thing for punks like that. Most Americans disagree with what I just said, which is why 6 million Americans are locked in prison each year. Proverb 20:30, “The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.” Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
We've taken human rights to such an insane level in the USA, that we protect guilty criminals and murder innocent children. This Is What We Deserve in America for Removing God's Holy Word From The Public Schools. Romans 1:32, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” It's called television and Hollywood! Americans love to watch violence on TV. Psalms 11:5, “The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” The average American child sees 200,000 acts of violence on TV by age 18. Think about that horrible fact. As a nation we've banned the Holy Bible from children's lives, while filling their minds full of violence and perversion from TV. By age 18, a U.S. youth will have seen 16,000 simulated murders and 200,000 acts of violence (source: American Psychiatric Association). Romans 1:32, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Our youth and adults alike, multiple generations since 1963, are completely devoid of morality, because they are woefully devoid of God's Word. Communist dictator Vladimir Lenin said, “The best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals.” He was right. You raise a youth devoid of morals and he'll steal, rape and murder for the government. There's nothing wrong today in our nation that couldn't be remedied by putting the King James Bible back into every classroom in America!!! The two biggest problems in our nation today are the PAPA and the PREACHER. You get those two right with the Word of God and our nation will be saved. Evangelist John R. Rice Teaches How To Save Our American Heritage (the Holy Bible is the answer). Thank God for the inspired King James Bible!!!
The Nails in Our Nation's Coffin: Betraying
the Inspired King James Bible
The most shocking and horrific evil today, which so many preachers have become oblivious to, are all the corrupt modern Bible versions. The abandonment of the inspired King James Bible by THE CHURCHES has been the nail in our nation's coffin. The new Bibles are as corrupt as can be doctrinally! The modern Bible revisions are based upon the Alexandrian, Egypt texts, which are of the Devil, attacking the deity of Jesus. The Devil's purpose behind publishing literally HUNDREDS of Bible versions is to confuse everyone. Acts 19:32, “Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.” Could the Scriptures be any plainer? I think not!
One Bible says this, another Bible says that, and people all over are utterly frustrated and confused. Don't take my word for it. In an 2010 article by The Christian Century magazine, titled, “Are More Bible Versions Bad for the Good Book?,” the author states...
“I think we are drifting more and more to a diverse Babel of translations,” said David Lyle Jeffrey, former provost of Baylor University and an expert on biblical translations. Jeffrey believes that Americans need a “common Bible”—a role the King James Version played for centuries—to communicate the grandeur of scripture without reducing it to “shopping-center-level” discourse.
“When we have so much diversity we lose our common voice,” he said. “It is in effect moving away from a common membership in the body of Christ into disparate, confusing misrepresentations of the rich wisdom of scripture, which ought to unify us.”
Leland Ryken, an English professor at Wheaton College, a leading evangelical school in Illinois, was more blunt. “When there is wide divergence among Bible translations, readers have no way of knowing what the original text really says,” Ryken said. “It's like being given four different scores for the same football game, or three contradictory directions for getting to a town in the middle of the state.”Scholars estimate that at least 200 English translations have been published since 1900—many of them revisions of earlier texts. Sorting out the differences between the New American Bible and the New American Standard Bible, for example, can be daunting even for experienced readers.
The market can be so confusing and crowded that half of the customers who visit Christian stores to buy a Bible leave without one, according to a study presented to Christian retailers in 2006. [emphasis added]

Satan's purpose for publishing hundreds of Bible versions is to confuse and discourage people from searching the Scriptures. Consequently, people are becoming spiritual without forming a doctrinally sound foundation. The average churchgoer attends Sunday services to sing, fellowship, tithe, hear a watered-down sermon and live the Christian life, but they've never been born-again!!! Each new (modern) version that comes out takes the churches a little further away from the deity of Christ. This is all a part of Satan's plot to prepare the churches to embrace the Antichrist when he comes. If you think I'm off base and wrong, please read my shocking article about Alice Bailey's book called, “The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy.”
Also, please read the insightful article, “The
Counterfeit Emerging Church Of Alice Bailey.” Miss Bailey boldly taught
that the philosophies of the Luciferian ideology would be conveyed through
THE CHURCHES!!! The Alexandrian Bible versions are largely a major
fulfillment of this conspiracy to corrupt the churches. Have you believed a
lie? The average knuckleheaded pastor these days won't listen to reason, and
refuses to be put outside the gate with Jesus, not willing to suffer
reproach for the name of Christ. Please don't make the big mistake of
approaching the Holy Bible with human rational instead of faith.
