I received this disturbing email from a brother in Christ:
Beyond Disrespect!
In
the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked the Lord to spare the
city if he could find 50 righteous people. God responded to Abraham's
plea
"If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all ...Genesis 18:16-33
The
movie " Corpus Christi " is due to be released this June to August. It
is a disgusting film set to appear in America later this year which
depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has
already been in theaters
for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Body of
Christ". It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we Christians can
make a difference.
That's
why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we
just might be able to prevent this film from being shown in Canada and
America . Let's stand for what we believe and stop the mockery of Jesus
Christ. Where do we
stand as Christians? I am forwarding this to all I think will respect
and appreciate being informed. Please help us prevent such offenses
against our Lord. There is no petition to sign, no time limit, or minimum number of people to send this to…It will
take you less than 2 minutes!
Imagine what would happen if this film were depicting Mohammad in the same way...the Islamic world would be in flames!!. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already successfully banned the film. All we need is a lot of prayer
and a lot of e-mails.
JUST GET THE WORD OUT!
.....Will
God be able to find at least 50 righteous people who are willing to
express their concern and voice their opinion against this act of
blasphemy?
My Response:
Horrifying and heartbreaking…but not surprising. My understanding of the following verses from
Romans 1,
is that wickedness will lead men to reject Creator God in favor of
nature.
This is what we have in our society today with the theory of
evilution. From there, God gives people over to their lusts. Since the
Scopes trial in 1925 when evilution really took off in America, we have
seen a steady decline into lustful immorality. Culminating
with the sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. From there we have
slide down into the depths of homosexuality.
Our society has followed the pattern of Romans 1 TO THE LETTER! Evilution-Lustful sexuality-Homosexuality. There is only one step left. Here in Romans it’s laid out in verses 29-31. But it is also identified in 2nd Timothy 3, verses 1-9. It is further evidence that we are in the very last days! We have progressed beyond evilution and lust and we are on the brink of full-fledged support and celebration of homosexuality. From there we will start to see more and more as the lost are filled with all kinds of wickedness. They will wax worse and worse. The end is upon us, unless God prolongs the days.
BUT, have hope Christians. For during these dark times remember the promise in Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

Romans 1:18
“For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;19 Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.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 and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:21 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.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 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.24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves:25 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.26 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:27 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 recompence of their error which was meet.28 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;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 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.”
2nd Timothy 3:1-9
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;5 Having a form
of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,7 Ever learning, and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth.8 Now as Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt
minds, reprobate concerning the faith.9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto
all men, as their's also was.”
