Doing the wrong thing will generate bad results. Unregenerated man sits in a self-destructive spiritual position because his bond is with Satan, his spiritual father, the spirit of disobedience, whose M.O. is to steal, kill, and destroy.
It must be repeated that all of God’s commandments are given for the edification of man. God’s word is mankind’s owner’s manual. Inherent within each of them is a blessing or a curse. Galatians 6:7:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Regardless of this obvious truth, man chooses disobedience and he disobeys himself to death. A short list of man’s self-destructive roots showing themselves in self-destructive deeds follows:
Those who reject the directives of the Word of God find themselves in these very hurtful ways. Psalms 34:21: “Evil shall slay the wicked:”
If you have yet to repent of your sins and surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, do it today. Turn away from the self-destructive life of disobedience while you still have time. Click onto “Further With Jesus” for simple, instant, how-to instructions. Now for today’s subject.
GOD SAID, Matthew 5:31-32:
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
GOD SAID, Leviticus 20:13:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
GOD SAID, Romans 1:21-32:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
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:
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 recompense of their error which was meet.
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;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
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.
GOD SAID, I Corinthians 6:9-10:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
GOD SAID, Jude 1:7:
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
MAN SAID: Homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle and no one should be hindered from choosing it by a bunch of archaic, discredited writings of mere men in a book called the Bible.
Now THE RECORD. The homosexual agenda is to convince the world that their homosexual proclivities are perfectly normal and functional and should be embraced as such by all. This is in spite of the fact that their orientation is condemned by God, and that research reports the average life span of the homosexual to be 41 years. That number — 41 — has been ridiculed by the homosexual community. The number was originally published by Dr. Paul Cameron, president of the Family Research Institute in 1992. Dr. Cameron is also a peer reviewer for the highly prestigious British Medical Journal and the Canadian Medical Association Journal. As a peer reviewer, he participates in analyzing and recommending which articles are of sufficient academic stature to warrant publishing. New-Life.netrefers to Cameron’s research in the following paragraphs:
Life expectancy of homosexual men and women without AIDS is about 33 years shorter than that of the heterosexual (Cameron, Playfair, Wellum, The Homosexual Lifespan, Family Research Institute, Feb 14, 1992). Surprisingly, AIDS has only a modest effect on the average life expectancy of a homosexual male. The average age of men dying from AIDS is 39. The average age of homosexuals dying from all other causes is even more revealing: 41. Only one percent die of old age. In study after study, less than three percent of all homosexuals surveyed are over the age of 55.
Homosexualities
The following excerpts are from a June 2005 article published by Lifesite.nettitled, “Yet Another Study Confirms Gay Life Expectancy 20 Years Shorter:”
WASHINGTON, DC, June 6, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) — A new study which analyzed tens of thousands of gay obituaries and compared them with AIDS deaths data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has shown that the life expectancy for homosexuals is about twenty years shorter than that of the general public. The study, entitled “Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS,” has been published in Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697).
After a short search for Canadian life expectancy charts, which was unsuccessful, we did find that male life expectancy in the United States in 1890 was 42.5 years.
Various surveys of homosexual life expectancy have been conducted in recent years. According to the research of which we’re aware, the homosexuals’ life expectancy is considerably lower. Where is the government? Where are the warning labels? Where are the no smokes?
In February of 2001, GodSaidManSaid published a feature article titled, “Homosexuality.” It deals with God’s judgment against it, the fruits of homosexual disobedience, and God’s forgiveness and deliverance for those bound by it.
In that 2001 GodSaidManSaid article, we examined the homosexual community’s claims of “genetic” homosexuality. If homosexuals are born gay, then it follows (incorrectly, I must say) that they cannot be faulted. That argument, due to the huge lack of scientific support, has been abandoned. As an aside, we must note that an unborn child can be spiritually affected in a mother’s womb. Matthew 1:18, 20:
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 1:15, 39-44:
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
It also must be noted that the sins of the father will be visited on his children. This will become obvious in the remainder of this article. Exodus 34:6-7:
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
All of mankind was born in sin and the solution is to get a new Father. God created a way of escape. Jesus calls it born-again. Click onto “Further With Jesus” for clarification.
Massive new research has just been published that again points to the dramatic effects of environmental factors, social and family, upon the homosexual mindset. The reason the first verses in the “GOD SAID” portion of this article were Matthew 5:31-32, which declare God’s stand against rampant divorce, is that new research reaffirms the deleterious effects of divorce on the adolescent mind in regard to homosexuality. The following paragraphs are from an article published in the AFA Journal. The title of the article is “New Study Challenges Popular View of Sexual Orientation.” This January 2007 article was authored by W. Throckmorton, PhD, of Grove City College. He is a psychologist and the producer of “I Do Exist,” a documentary about sexual identity. More of his information is available at www.drthrockmorton.com. The excerpts follow:
Mark Twain said once: “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” If environmental factors in sexual orientation could talk, they might say the same thing. For sure, social or family factors in influencing sexual attractions have been written off by numerous scholars and media. However, a new Danish study may prompt a fresh evaluation of the role of social factors in sexual orientation.

It’s true that outside factors influence homosexual activity. It’s also outside factors that correct and deliver. Jesus Christ: he is the answer; the outside factor. Choose him. The cause of homosexuality and the solution is addressed in some detail in the GodSaidManSaid article, “Homosexuality.” If you are seeking deliverance or help for someone who is bound, click on and review the information. May the face of the Lord shine upon you with light and truth.
