Why Not Call It Sin?

BY PGF

A mea culpa, (via WRSA) but why not call it what it is?

“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; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 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.” – Romans 1:26-32

Everyone comes to the realization of sin in their own time, in their own way. Most deny it when faced with it. This post isn’t against the author of the linked piece. It’s Christian instruction and what used to be common knowledge.

Verse 28 of Romans 1 says of sodomites that “God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” Sodomy running rampant in your country isn’t a sign of judgment; it is judgment. The Holy Bible says that God will wreck your entire civilization over the course of generations that you may fill up the measure of your iniquity, bringing your Descendants to faith by repentance, crying out for forgiveness from Him. Yeah, I don’t like it either, but we don’t get a vote; He is God, we are not.

God’s chief attribute is that He is holy. He is perfect first, before all other things. A people do not mock His created order except under severe penalty, which is death. Those that do such things are “worthy of death.” And so the unrepentant will die in eternity, and the West along with them because the Church is no more. If the individuals in your civilization are worthy of death, then your society, which also becomes worthy of death, will not stand.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness” – Romans 1:18

When people know the truth but identify good as bad and evil as good, they hold the truth in unrighteousness, and the wrath of God abides on them being revealed from heaven against that people. Romans 1:18 is the difference between national blessings bestowed by God or national curses for rejection of righteousness; God handing your civilization over to wickedness.

“Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” – James 1:15

I feel sorry for sodomites. Their mind is not their own; they have been handed over to vile affections and the unnatural use of their body. A little sodomy is ok, but we shouldn’t teach children about it? This is not a serious-minded position. There is no such thing as a little bit of sin against God. Sin begets more sin. God is Judge, and the penalty is death.

The scary part is that so few understand what’s happening to America and the depths of where we are headed. The American Church is false and therefore has no more influence.

When your Church has no response to sin, you have no Church! American Christians, if that’s what they are, have no answers to what’s happening. They are also blinded. The American Church hasn’t a clue as the people there are busy watching porn and football, playing video games, getting abortions, and handing their children to the State to raise because they couldn’t be bothered. The American Church says, well, maybe there isn’t anything that bad as sin. These, too, will burn! You teach the whole counsel, the whole ordinance of God, or you are false. Either the church of the living God calls evil against men and God sin, or there is no church at all.

Don’t expect the State to solve this problem. It can’t. Even if the State wanted to solve sin, it lacks the capacity to do that which only God retains authority over. This duty falls to the church.

This isn’t only about sodomy; that’s just one sin of many. Most sinners, and all men are sinners, like just a little private sin. But that’s not how sin works. Sin is the gateway drug to sin and more sin. You can’t have a little indulgence on the side; that’s not how sin works. Sin isn’t the result of what we do; it’s what we are, at our core. We are cursed and produce evil at every turn. The more we do it, the more we want it.

“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.” – Ecclesiastes 8:11

Always and forever, men misunderstand God’s patience and longsuffering in love as tolerance, but it is not so. They go so far as to say, where is God? But be sure, your sin will find you out. Sin is sin; it violates God’s created order; the sentence will be passed and executed.

“But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.” – Ecclesiastes 8:13

In God’s economy, there are two kinds of people; them that believe on the Lord to the saving of their soul and them that don’t. Among them that don’t, some are wholly wicked and perverse. God makes clear that He is sore displeased with those people, has turned them over to a reprobate mind, blinded them to Him, and that they need to be, depending on the nature of it, put out of society or killed for the preservation and good order that a people walk not as animals but upright before the Judge of all. Some people actively make war on God, and they need to be dealt with. That’s what the laws of Western Civilization have reflected for hundreds of years until recently.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” – Romans 1:22

If anybody can claim to be anything and nobody may call it a sin, we have lawlessness; it’s anarchy. They are as animals! Equality is government-created anarchy attempting to invert creation itself, causing a state of corruption not only civil and legal but, most importantly, moral; it’s an open insurrection in rebellion against Holy and Almighty God!

The fundamental Christians are right. They keep their women home and dress them modestly. Their women obey their menfolk, and their children keep silent until addressed. They homeschool and teach; yes, ma’am, and yes, sir! They train their children daily in the moral code of Holy God. They do these things so that perverts and freaks don’t lay hold of their women and children and turn their family and all of society to follow after the wickedness of sin! Do they still sound crazy; or seem a little extreme? Maybe they’re on to something and not so foolish after all. Oh, and they still call sin, sin.

Creation is God’s; His created order is ordained that it might go well with you and that your days may be long upon the land. You either operate within His order or are cursed, damned to suffer the consequences, both personally and as a civilization.

God doesn’t compare us to each other, He holds out holy as the standard, and no cursed man can attain. But you can be forgiven, even delivered from your sin. God can deliver the drunk to be sober. God can deliver the addict to clean, the deviant to a lovely heart with pureness of mind; only the Lord can reform the wicked. God can restore a man, a marriage, a family, a nation if only you would submit to His authority.

God doesn’t just forgive sin through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ; He can deliver the sinner from His affliction. And which is the greater miracle, to be forgiven or made whole? Forgiveness is not a license to sin; go and sin more.

    I recently had a beautiful but meth addicted couple and their three beautiful kids rent my ranch house on the homestead . They ran door dash and instacart daily and took in a couple hundred each day . They couldn’t even bother to pay me the $10 a week for a home that would rent for $1200 a month easily . Of course I ended up evicting them . The husband confesses Christ . Pray for them please . Three beautiful kids . Drugs [pharmacopia] are destroying America .

    Amen – this post moved me. Thank you so much for all your posts and this site. The Biblical posts are so important right now as many of us (I speak for myself especially) over the years have strayed from the narrow road to the wide road and are working our way back. God Bless.

    Robert Orians, I will pray for your prior tenants. May God bless them and their children. And God bless you and your family too.
