The second half of Romans 1 has come up in past threads as God's revealing wrath in giving us over to sinful behavior.

Romans 1:18-32
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 that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.



So here's my question - are all of the gay people coming out an indicator of God's revealed wrath on this country?

No.

It's a sign that we as Americans aren't all a bunch of religious or political or sexist zealots who want to deny people their full rights as citizens of this wonderful country. It's a sign that the LGBT community knows we've reached a point where they can, hopefully, come out of the shadows and live their lives and not have to worry about having the fire kicked out of them because they are "different".

Next question?

The so called wrath on this country may be the iniquity of the customs and currant tradition of men and the devil can be given authority as other nations who have a death cycle on the destiny as other nations have experienced , who will then need Lord Jesus to redeem the sin for peace of God ..... See the error certainly is the sin of the world which will attract the devil and his curses ...... But the truth is a gross error in the Church of Christ, which brings the lack of Holy Spirit to do anything about it ..........As there is a gross ignorance on the power of God and the dwelling of Holy spirit , and the small fry understanding into spiritual warfare which can bring release into peace , which is usually blocked by doctrines of men which closes the door to God and His blessing ............ One gross error is divisions in the heart of the church which antichrist does have authority , other errors are selfishness and greed , and pride and unbelief , acceptance of self determination , which rejects Heaven determination ....... In case all in all you cannot just blame the guys or the liberals , as the church of Christ hold all power to redeem all of God wrath , as all Wrath of God is Gods plan A, just as Jesus is God plan B, because Adam was a plan A, Again Jesus is plan B ,,,Go and do it

I think it is more likely to be one of those thing which will lead to God revealing his wrath.

We should realize that Breitbart is an extremely biased news source and not take everything it reports as gospel.

It's about being led astray by one's ego desires.

No, nothing's new here. Life's on repeat. Even the Romans indulged in sexual acts with men back in the day.

Yeah, all those evil young men and women today who according to Paul, obviously must have worshiped bird statues or maybe Cybele, so God gave them over to homosexuality in their puberty and refused to take it away (eventhough they prayed and begged God nightly to do so shortly before their parents disowned them) all to reveal his coming wrath!!! Repent!! The end is near!!!

...Oh wait, its just the near the end of the Sale on Joe Fundi's new book "His Coming Wrath: The Homosexual Prophicies." The end is near!! Only $19.95!! Get to Barnes and Nobles!!!

Amen.

So be it. This nation deserves it. Maybe people will wake up and know who the LORD is.
