Selected
Scripture
I Corinthians 6:9, 10
Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, not abusers of
themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God.
Comment:
The civil courts and legislatures of America
has redefined the immoral practice of sodomy to be a civil right
and those that practice such things should not be restricted in any
manner. The word of God however discriminates against such behavior
and says that the person who is effeminate or abuses themselves
with mankind shall not inherit the Kingdom of God
This kingdom spoken of is not heaven as many think
but it is the kingdom that Christ setup while here in the flesh.
(The church of Christ) This verse of scripture clearly describes who
cannot become or remain a member of this kingdom if they are guilty
of any of the immoral acts described in these two verse.
We have been bless for over 200 years to live in a
country which made laws using the bible as a guide concerning
morality. Now we find ourselves in a position that we must reject
the civil laws when it comes to the church and continue following
the laws of Christ even in the face of persecution. Elder Claude
McKee
