Facts: Did you know?
The arctic fox has a thick coat that changes color with the seasons, white in winter, brown or gray in summer. This natural camouflage helps it adapt and survive in extreme conditions. Same way God gives us what we need to adapt and thrive through every season of life. Philippians 4:12–13
THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY.
The LGBTQ+ community refers to people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and others who do not fit into the traditional understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity. The LGBTQ+ movement advocates for equal rights, visibility, and acceptance for individuals within this community.
However, the bible kicks against this very act, according to Romans 1:26–27 (KJV). "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. 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 recompense of their error which was meet."
Paul is writing to the Roman church about how humanity turned from God's truth to sin. He describes various behaviours, including same sex relations, as part of that turning away. The phrase "vile affections" and "against nature" suggests a departure from God's intended design for sexuality, which is supposed to be a man and a woman coming together to become one and not the other way round.
