Doing what they want

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 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. – Romans 1.24-27

Paul’s scathing attack on a God rejected world continues. Uncleanness, lust of the heart, dishonouring bodies are the way exchange to truth of God for a lie and then man begin to worship the creation more that the Creator.

So eventually God gives man what he wants. He gives man over to carry out all the sins in their hearts. God very plan for the continuance of the human race is thrown out the window through ‘men leaving the natural use of the woman burning in their lust for one another.’ God’s plan is also ignored when the ending of a child’s life through abortion is made legal and freely available.

Men say they want to do what they want. They say they want to have their way and they don’t want God or ‘religion’ to interfere. So the time comes when God lets them do what they want. He lets them have their way. He lets them suffer the consequences of their own decisions. A lot of what happens in these situations is not because of God’s direct justice but because it is the natural result of making a choose to do whatever they want.

No wonder our world is where it is today.
