(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) During the month of June as I mentioned before our nation has essentially taken this month to celebrate the detestable act of sodomy and Throughout this month. You'll have gay pride parades in different cities and you know, unfortunately there are often Christians who are advocates of street preaching who often go to these parades and Hold up signs and you know protest against them and tell them to turn or burn and repent of their sins And you know some of them do it with the intent that you know some of these sodomites will actually turn from being a homosexual and Turn from their perversion and believe on Jesus Christ now, obviously we understand that according to the Bible You don't repent of your sins to be saved. You have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved You know God doesn't require for us to just stop sinning in order for us to obtain eternal life because of the fact that no one can Stop sinning. Okay, we are we will be sinners and we will sin until the day that we die But you know, there's people out there that believe that you have to repent of your sins These people can be reformed and become Christians, right? But here's the thing folks is that that is a fool's errand Okay It's a wild goose chase because of the fact that according to the Bible sodomites cannot be reformed number one Number two sodomites can't be saved Okay Now if you are a Christian in this generation growing up in this generation or in a previous generation That might sound shocking to you. It might be offensive to you, but that's only because you've probably only heard pastors Preach sermons in regards to sodomites where we're supposed to reach them and love them Whereas the Bible doesn't even talk about that Okay, and I want to show you in this video that sodomites are actually beyond the hope of salvation now you think to yourself Well, you know, how can that be? Can't anybody be saved? Doesn't the Bible say that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved who server will and to that? I say absolutely, but what people need to understand is the fact that you know, there is exceptions to that rule Let me give you one for example You know the Bible talks about those who blaspheme the Holy Ghost that they shall never have forgiveness in this life Nor in the life to come the Bible talks about in Revelation 22 that if anybody removes from God's Word God shall remove his part from the book of life So if anybody chooses to tamper with God's Word add to or take away from God's Word in this life The Bible says that God will remove that individual from the book of life in this life If anybody blasphemes the Holy Ghost in this life They have never forgiveness in this life or in the life to come So if you have those two examples of people who just can't be saved in this lifetime You know, why is it hard for anybody to believe that people such as sodomites can't be saved either? And in fact, let me give you some proof here in Romans chapter 1 is the quintessential chapter dealing with homosexual Sodomites and what the Bible also refers to as reprobates. Okay, and let me read to you from verse number 24 Will start at verse 21 it says 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 So the Bible tells us here that these individuals they knew God in other words They they believed that he existed they know of God and to what extent we obviously don't know We don't know if this means that they went as far as being given the gospel or someone preached the Word of God into them but we know according to the previous verses that in verse 19 it says Because that which is maybe known of God is manifest in them for God has showed it unto them So God has shown every human being in this world The fact that he exists in some way or another whether through nature the law of God written in their hearts, you know through preachers Christianity and here it says that when they knew God they glorified him not as God They became vain in their imaginations Their foolish heart was darkened verse 24 says wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor 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 forever Amen verse 26 for this cause God gave them up to vile affection. So this is referring to sodomy Okay, and we're gonna see later on the Bible gets a little more descriptive But a synonym for this detestable act of sodomy that the Bible uses is vile affections, it's not a natural affection It's filthy. It's perverse. It's vile. He says for even their women to change the natural use into that which is against nature This is referring to what people would refer to as lesbianism, right? He's saying that these women they rejected God They don't they basically change the glory of God into an image made like into Corruptible man and then it says in verse 27 and likewise also the men Leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lusts one toward another Men with men working that which is unseemly receiving themselves the recompense of their error, which was me referring to male sodomites You know these people who burn in their lusts one toward another they have a lascivious Inhibition within them to be with other men. Okay, this is filthy disgusting act, but I want you to notice verse 28 It says 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 So notice it says that they didn't want to retain God in their knowledge now Here's a simple question for you the viewer to answer in order to be saved You obviously have to believe on Jesus Christ and a prerequisite to that is that you would want to retain God in your knowledge So if a person doesn't want to retain the concept of God in their mind They don't want to retain him in their knowledge. They don't even want to think about the Creator What makes you think they're gonna want to accept his son as their Savior? It's kind of ridiculous to think about you know, but yet you have people out there that think well You know, they don't want to tame in their knowledge, but we still got to get them safe Well folks, we can't enforce salvation upon anybody You know people have to choose to be saved and according to the Bible Sodomites who the Bible also refers to as reprobates don't even want to retain the fact that God exists in their knowledge And because of that the Bible says that God gives them over to a reprobate mind. Now. What is a reprobate? Well, a Reprobate number one is just someone who's just completely depraved which would match up with what the Bible says regarding sodomites You know, these people are depraved they do depraved acts filthy perverse things The Bible says that they go after strange flesh We have examples in Genesis 19 and in Judges 19 But reprobate according to the Bible also means someone who is beyond the hope of salvation because the term reprobate a Synonym for that according to Jeremiah chapter 6 is someone who's rejected So because they rejected God according to the Bible they are rejected of God and more specifically It says they're given over to a reprobate mind. This is what first Timothy chapter 4 refers to as a seared Conscience okay. This is an individual who is past feeling and so God When he gives them a reprobate mind Essentially removes their moral boundaries, which is why they're able to commit some of the most vile Disgusting filthy crimes known to mankind, you know, in fact if you were to look up the definition of sodomy It's not just men with men women with women It's often referring to bestiality and pedophilia as well Which are acts that an individual who does not have a moral boundary can commit but normal people do not do these things Now, let me read you from 2nd Timothy Chapter number 3 because we obviously see there in Romans chapter 1 that the byproduct of someone who rejects Jesus Christ and Begins to become adversarial toward against him will be given over to a reprobate mind But the Bible expands the meaning of what a reprobate mind is in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 in verse number 7 It says this that they're ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth So if someone is ever learning, but they can never come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ It's essentially meaning that they can never be saved they can learn the Bible all they want and memorize all these verses and say all the Christianese terms and you know act like a Christian look like a Christian But the Bible says that they will never come to the knowledge of the truth It says it goes on to say in verse number 8 now as Janus and Jambres withstood Moses So do these also resist the truth listen to this men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith Listen again reprobate concerning the faith now. What does it take to be saved faith? The Bible tells us that we have to place our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation Ephesians 2 verse 8 through 9 tells us for by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves It is the gift of God not of works list any man should boast So we need to place our faith in Christ in order to be saved. Whereas here it says that this particular individual is reprobate concerning the faith What does that mean? It means their ability to believe on Jesus Christ for salvation has been revoked Okay, now people hear them and you know, they kind of flinch at that they kind of are bothered by that But let me just show you a verse here in John chapter 12 where the Bible tells us clearly That God actually removes some people's ability to believe now. I want to make myself very clear. He doesn't do this to everyone This is only for a select people who actually hate the Lord. They're adversarial towards God. They despise the Lord Jesus Christ They don't want to retain him in their knowledge. That's not the general population you know, even if some people are Mean to Christians or they kind of cuss Christians out and maybe if they you know Just kind of mistreat Christians to a certain extent, you know doesn't necessarily mean that they hate God They may just not like the individuals Whereas what the Bible refers to here as the workers of iniquity these reprobates these sodomites The Bible says that they're haters of God in Romans chapter 1, but let me show you here in John chapter 12 And I'll read to you from verse number 39 it says therefore they could not believe Because that as I say it again He has blinded their eyes and harden their heart That they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them So I want you to notice that when it says he it's referring to God So the Bible says that he blinded their eyes he hardened their hearts Why so they are not able to see they're not able to understand they can't be saved Okay, and in fact the previous verse says therefore they could not believe so the reason these reprobates these sodomites These perverts cannot believe on Jesus Christ. It's not because your gospel presentation isn't good enough It's not because you haven't shown them the love of God enough It's not because there's any problem with you. The problem is that they have a reprobate mind and that reprobate mind is Eternally incapable of believing on Jesus Christ for salvation So the Bible teaches and so I just want to make that quick video to let you know that You know It's a fool's errand to try to preach the gospel to sodomites Because of the fact that the reason they're there in the first place is because they rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless
