Time (to know THE TRUTH) by Gary Rose

How in the world did human beings ever become so stupid? Since the beginning of time, boys are boys and NOT girls, and girls are girls and NOT boys. End of story, period. Yet, today, we have bisexuals, trans-genders and who knows what else? 

How did we ever get this far? Notice the following passage from the book of Romans and pay special attention to the parts which I have emboldened for emphasis.

Romans, Chapter 1 (WEB)
 16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.  17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” 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 of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.  20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. 21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 
  22 
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.  24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;  25 who 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 up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.  27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.  28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;  29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,  30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;  32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
The road to perversion outlined.
1. There is the truth of God - 1:16
2.  Human beings suppress that truth - 1:18
3.  Man ignores God and darkens his heart - 1:20-21
4.  Change truth into a lie - 1:24-25
5.  Refuse to even acknowledge God - 1:28
6.  Perversion personified - 1:29-32

The road back (the reverse of "perversion road").
1. Stop sinning
2. Acknowledge God
3. Accept The Truth of God
4.  Let God's word enlighten your heart
5. Accept only the Truth of God
6. Purity restored

It is not too late; there is yet hope! Listen, while there is yet opportunity!!
