Was thinking of them too - just didn’t know how to spell it.
MOSQUITOES!!!! God DID create them so why do we go out of our way to destroy them?
(honest to goodness Micheal Berry is doing a mosquitoe commercial at this very moment LOL!!)
Okay you’ve made the winning point!!!!!
You might want to read Romans 1:18-27. Things are different than many believe.
Adam and Eve weren’t sinners when they were created. Just sayin’.
I’m teaching it in my adult Sunday School class. You’re not saying that verse 24 says that God turns people into homosexuals because of their sin, are you? I can’t stretch Paul’s words anywhere near that conclusion.
Yeah, a lot of people were thinking the way we were. I realized that as I went down the thread.
He doesn’t turn them into anything. It’s His mercy that restrains all of our sinful desires and shameful lusts. For those who He does not call, who know the truth but suppress it with their wickedness, He hands them over, just as Peter was handed over. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Read Hebrews 10:26.
