number 20 for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power in godhead so that they are without excuse look the creation of god we're without excuse it is evident that god exists god's own creation speaks unto us that there's a creator the whole ecosystem the way things work together this can't have happened by chance you have too many systems reliant on each other that's too it's too fragile in the sense that all of these multiple things various things need to exist and be in place in order for life to survive and to thrive and you know in order for plants to grow they need to be pollinated which means they need insects to do that well the insects need the the plants to feed off of you can't just have this stuff just happening simultaneously okay it's statistically impossible for that to just happen and just continue to survive that these plants that that require other you know other elements to exist all just happening simultaneously it is ridiculously stupid to think that that can all happen at once and people who claim they're so smart are really just a bunch of fools that actually believe in that nonsense because that's what it is it's nonsense the creation speaks there is a creator you don't walk across and find a clock or a watch on the ground and go oh wow i wonder how this happened i wonder what rocks came together and just formed how many times lightning had to strike it in order for these gears to tick and actually have a meaning and perform a function that looks intelligent nobody in their right mind would think that you'd say wow i wonder who made this they must be kind of smart because all these things work together and it performs a function we could look at our world even the way that the world self-heals even with the most toxic things that that man can throw at it god has built a system of filtering the the toxins out in this world it's incredible it's amazing how god has done that this isn't by chance it's not by chance okay there is a designer there is a creator all of your organs you look internally or externally you look out deep into space you look with a microscope deep inside of yourself and you will see how amazingly intricate everything is that exists and it's foolishness to say that there is not a creator so verse 20 is basically explaining that i know i kind of gave the long version right but the bible is telling us here the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and godhead so that they are without excuse 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 so this is people who they understand they know god they've heard of god they've seen what god can do but they glorify him not as god they're saying yeah that's not god i can see a creation that's not god they profess themselves oh but i'm so smart i can tell you why these things are without god they became fools and it says here they change the glory of the uncorruptible god into an image made like to corruptible man and to birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things so they basically just create their own god whether it be in the form of a man themselves whatever right an animal a creature they come up with their own god so they understand god they don't give glory to god as being the uncorruptible god they just come up with their own they create their own idol verse 24 says wherefore which means for this cause god also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves okay clear teaching from scripture first of all unclean what the bible is about to describe is unclean not only is it unclean it's dishonorable dishonoring your bodies verse 25 who changed the truth of god into a lie and worship and serve the creature more than the creator who is blessed forever so they've heard the truth they've changed the truth into a lie and they care more about the creature than the creator verse 26 again for this cause god gave them up unto vile affection that word vile means disgusting affections right affections that you have towards people or towards things vile horrible disgusting things vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature okay who created things to be natural god did so and he's going to explain this here look at verse number uh 27 and likewise so in the same manner first he says that the women change the natural use in that which is against nature but he doesn't really get into any more detail than that just saying what they're doing is unnatural but then he explains more by relating it to the men verse 27 says 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 meat so what's this talking about this is all about men lusting after men they're not lusting after the woman which is natural which is the way god made everybody naturally a man lusts after a woman a woman lusts after a man and they want to have that affection they want to have that that relationship that is natural according to the bible that is normal that is the way god made everybody but you know what's unnatural when you have a woman with a woman or a man with a man that is unnatural it's not the way that god made people so if you believe the bible you cannot believe that oh i was born that way because that's not the way that god made them i don't care what anybody says the bible teaches here that it's not natural not only is it not natural it's vile it's disgusting it's unclean and it's dishonorable and you know what people will say that god made me this way in a sense it's true they weren't born that way but like it says in verse 26 for this cause when they gave up on god when they made up their own god when they didn't want to glorify god as being god verse 26 says for this cause god gave them up unto vile affections god gave them up when you are just completely unrestrained by your conscience to do whatever your wicked heart wants to do it'll lead you into all manner of perversion and wickedness see we have a conscience that keeps us naturally from doing certain things there are some things you just won't do because it's too disgusting it's too vile to bring yourself to do because god has given you that conscience and that guide to not do those things but when god has given that up and he's taken away that conscience now you're left to do whatever because it's not that disgusting anymore it's not that perverted anymore there is no more restraint verse 28 says and even as they did not like to retain god in their knowledge they didn't want god they're the ones choosing to not want god they didn't want to retain god in their knowledge it's not like god just came across these people and said nope you're gonna i'm just gonna steer your conscience they didn't want to have anything to do with god they knew who god was they glorified him not as god they created their own god of whatever was in their own heart what they wanted that's the point where god turns them over to this reprobate mind and even as they did not like to retain god in their knowledge god gave them over to reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient verse 29 now there here's the attributes of these people being filled with all unrighteousness fornication wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy now look that first part verse being filled with this isn't just oh they've done this once or twice they're filled with this stuff this is this is like an overflowing of all of these sins and even halfway through the verse in case you forgot that it said filled with all he says full of envy right it is repeating that they're full of this they're full of envy murder debate deceit malignity whispers backbiters haters of god despiteful proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents without understanding covenant breakers without natural affection implacable unmerciful who knowing the judgment of god they know it they know it's not right knowing the judgment of god that they which commit such things are wait what does that say in the new testament they that commit such things are what worthy of death oh but that's the old testament law i'm sorry this is romans chapter one you have matthew mark luke john acts romans this is the sixth book we're well into the new testament these people that is describing know that they would do such things are worthy of death how is it that christians today don't know that these things are worthy of death
