Lucy #306: Then you state that, ―The result of a society‘s rejection of God‘s rule in<br />

their lives is that God gives ‗them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for<br />

the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and<br />

worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator.‘ (Romans 1:24–25)‖<br />

Fair enough, my Friend, and yet the most salient point here is the following one: If this<br />

is true for homosexuals, then IT IS ALSO TRUE FOR YOU & YOURS!<br />

*Indeed, every time a heterosexual man or woman commits adultery, they are rejecting<br />

your God‘s rule and have sunk into mortal sin (see Deuteronomy 22:22);<br />

*… and every time a heterosexual husband or wife fantasizes sexually about another man<br />

or woman, they are rejecting your God‘s rule and have sunk into mortal sin (see Matthew 5:27-28);<br />

*… and every time a heterosexual woman loses her virginity before her wedding night,<br />

she is rejecting your God‘s rule and has sunk into mortal sin (see Deuteronomy 22:13-21);<br />

*… and every time a heterosexual man chooses to masturbate instead of using his seed to<br />

procreate, he is rejecting your God‘s rule and has sunk into mortal sin (see Genesis 38:3-10);<br />

*… and every time a heterosexual man covets his neighbor‘s wife, he is rejecting your<br />

God‘s rule and has sunk into mortal sin (see Deuteronomy 5:21);<br />

*… and every time a heterosexual husband or wife have sex while she is on her period,<br />

they are both rejecting your God‘s rule and have sunk into mortal sin (see Leviticus 20:18).<br />

Again, why not mention any of these lust-based ―mortal sins‖ on your Facebook feed,<br />

my Friend? They are certainly more insidious and clearly more prevalent (and<br />

often even far more harmful) than homosexual lust ever would or could be …<br />

Hmmmm … Could bigotry be the reason? If not that prejudice, then what?<br />
