The Just Live by Faith
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
For in it… this is The Gospel of Christ… The Power thereof unto Salvation.
For in it… The Gospel of Christ… The Righteousness of God is Revealed.
For in it… From Faith to Faith. An Increasing of your Faith to which only God is able to Work.
Yes, The Just, The Believer Shall Live by Faith.
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Most times in hearing this passage ministers stress the point of Homosexual sin, yet recently my mind has been challenged by another thought, to which was stimulated by this question: ‘ is it wrong for a man or woman to appease their natural Lusts/Desires through the means of Masturbation, and/or Pornographic material?’
I was always able to understand the statement: women exchanging the natural use for what is AGAINST nature, and also men leaving the natural use of the woman, BURNED in their Lust for ONE ANOTHER… men with men; yet there was something colorful in this statement… the term NATURAL.
The Natural Desire; for Women…
desire to be Married
desire to bare Children
cleaving to thy Husband
The Natural Desire; for Men…
desire to be Married
desire to have Children
desire to have a Help Meet/Wife
For women and men to Desire one another; even if they do not produce Children would be the Natural Order in Creation. The man was made in “Our Image”. ”Let US make man in OUR Image”… the Image of God. First Order is Man. Because Man is in the Likeness of God; although he (man) is dust of the earth, and God is Spirit. he (man) is only an imitation, or reflection of God. Therefore God is Masculine. The woman in Creation was formed by God from the Rib of Adam: ”flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone”. The second order is Woman; who is an Extension of Man. Children become the Extension of both man and woman as the Natural Use of their Desire is properly used. The desire does not end in the case of a Barren Woman, nor does it end in the case of a Non Productive Male… inability to produce children. The Natural Order is Man, and Woman.
The Unnatural…

Today I hear more and more young woman who aren’t married, and more Christian Women who are married speak of their Playful Sexual Experiences with their partners. These women are open to share; even excited about expressing their avenues of pleasure. I am Alarmed. I believe there is nothing new under the sun, therefore these playful and dangerous practices should not be surprising, or shocking to us; yet these practices seem to be Quite Favorable, and have become more widely Accepted among Christian Men and Women.
Why is it both men and women do not WANT to see these Vulgar Practices as Unnatural? I will be honest here…
The Natural Order of our mouth was created to speak and ingest, and the anal canal was made for solid waste elimination. Neither one of these were to be used AGAINST the Natural Order in which they were created. The Perversions of the Imagination is what leads to Sexual Immorality; also known as: a Debased Mind.
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, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, 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 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, 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.
