In this world it is so easy to be convinced something is right, from a little white lie to a stack of hard lies, my neighbour or friend does it they are thought of as good people so it must be right, or we were taught it at school it must be right teachers are professional, maybe even because it is law.
The world can be very convincing, media can be extremely powerful, if we have issues often the first people we talk to are friends, their views become your views but were they right? But who else can we talk to, a friend wouldn't hurt me and will listen and give his or her thoughts and advice. Two heads are better than one they say.
We all know what the world says but what does scripture say, strange how with many this is further down the list when it comes to wanting issues to problems, or for many it may not even be on there list... until they become desperate.
We all know what the world says but what does scripture say?
Read the following scripture:
Romans 1:16-32 (NKJV)
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."
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.
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.
What used to be homosexuality and lesbianism, is now joined with other sexual activities, outside that of man and woman in marriage which God created for us.
They call it Pride, LGBTQ+ = Pride and as Proverbs tells us Pride comes before a fall.
The scripture above is very clear is it not, how can people not see these things are wrong?

I have not included verses from the Old Testament, especially from Leviticus, or mentioned Sodom and Gomorrah, as people in the LGBTQ+ group have told each other, we are free from the Law the Bible says so. They know what they want to know, listen to what they want to listen to, their minds are debased by God because of their acts.
This is the devil at work in the latter days of the end times, scripture is used in part, to make them and others believe what they do acceptable, they continue to tell others there is nothing wrong in what they do. Note - we are free from the law, the rainbow,
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV)
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,
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 sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Is marriage therefore just for man and woman?
Matthew 19:1-12 (NKJV)
1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"
4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'
5 and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
10 His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry."
11 But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given:
12 For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it."
The KJV Bible puts things this way
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.
Some versions say they will be repaid in kind! Either way God is clear there will be a payment and sin leads to death.
Yesterday I read an article at BBC News, relating to the UK though other countries are no doubt in a similar position.

The most commonly diagnosed STIs were: (STIs - Sexually Transmitted Diseases)
- chlamydia (218,095 cases, 49% of all new STI diagnoses)
- genital warts (57,318 cases, 13%)
- gonorrhoea (56,259 cases, 13%)
- genital herpes (33,867 cases, 8%)
- The number of gonorrhoea cases has been increasing for years among both men and women, despite repeated warnings from public health doctors about the risks of unprotected sex.
Sometimes referred to as "the clap", it is a bacterial infection passed between people through unprotected sex.
- (Unprotected sex is the same as sex with anyone other that a husband and wife in God's eyes.)
Scriptures says they will be repaid for their sins, but also says elsewhere in the end times there will be, increases in pestilences, super bugs etc.
