In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing. –Romans 1:27 (GNT)–
A gentleman who was in his fifties, he had led a homosexual lifestyle…he contracted the human papillomavirus (HPV)…genital warts…his entire buttock, his entire anal area had been eaten away by the warts…he ended up losing all of the buttock area. He ended up having a colostomy where his feces would come into a bag on his abdomen, because he no longer had a rectum…and it was a wide open gaping wound. –Dr. David Miller, 13:40–
Homosexuals always try to give the impression they are more numerous than they actually are. Their numbers are growing, but they still represent a small percentage of our total population. Those who are given over completely to homosexuality preach that all of us have latent tendencies and could become more homo than hetero. There is no truth to that at all. Many young people who had a homosexual experience in high school or college have overcome even the memory of it and are happily married and normal. They are fortunate. Many others never got out and are now hooked. Homosexuality is not incurable. Homosexuals can and do change. Homosexual urges, no matter how strong, need not be permanent. The cure is more likely for those under 25 years who have not developed a strong attachment to one person. Those who are confirmed homosexuals stand very little chance of being cured unless they become totally desperate to change. In one survey, of 300 homosexuals interviewed, only 3% expressed a desire to change. The homosexual who proudly flaunts his way of life and scoffs at every attempt to help him is incurable. A cure is possible only in the case of one who desperately despises his homosexuality, who wants out, and who still believes it is possible to be cured. There is much controversy today about a cure for homosexuals, but I can prove, by the testimony of many I have counseled, there is a cure. It is not a hopeless addiction for anyone who wants to live a different life. God has power to change the very nature of man. I have never met a truly happy homosexual. The majority are sad, lonely, full of fear, shame, guilt, anxiety and torment. Homosexuals are being cured all over the world. God can cure you and will if you really want Him to. Desperation is the key word. Cry out in faith. –David Wilkerson

THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, nor serve them. –Exodus 20:4-5 (KJV)
The early church never came close to worshiping Mary. You won’t find it in the lives of the Desert Fathers, St. Patrick, or St. Benedict. Prayers to Mary were not even on the radar in the lives of the early Catholic saints. Mary was simply considered one of many saints in the early canon of Christian hagiography, much like Protestants regard the names of Calvin, Wesley, and Luther today.
Towards THE END OF THE FOURTH CENTURY, the name Mary becomes rather frequent among Christians; this serves as another sign of the veneration they had for the Mother of God…NO ONE WILL SUSPECT THE EARLY CHRISTIANS OF IDOLATRY, AS IF THEY HAD PAID SUPREME WORSHIP TO MARY’S PICTURES OR NAME; but how are we to explain the phenomena enumerated, unless we suppose that the early Christians venerated Mary in a special way? —THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA (1912)
As a Wesleyan, I have what’s called an Anglo-Catholic view of theology: this means that the Bible is primary, theological tradition is secondary, reason is third, and personal spiritual experience comes in fourth place. When it comes to theological tradition, I mainly rely on John Wesley and the theologians he relied on: which includes a collection of Puritans, Anglicans, church fathers, and occasional Catholic devotional books like The Practice of the Presence of God. With that being said, Wesley also affirmed this in the Articles of Religion: “The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, pardon, worshiping, and adoration, as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warrant of Scripture, but repugnant to the Word of God.”
There appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. –Matthew 17:3 (NIV)
A precedent can be established here that departed saints can SPONTANEOUSLY visit the godly. Wesley even wrote that “I never had anything of this kind with regard to any but those that died in faith. In dreams I have had exceedingly lively conversations with them, and I doubt not but they were then very near” (Letter to Lady Maxwell). But notice what is NOT going on after this happens:
1. Worship of the Dead.
2. Adoration of the Dead.
3. Creating Relics of the Dead.
4. Invoking the Presence of the Dead.
All of these things are done in the Catholic Church, but are rejected by Wesley and all Protestants, because they all point to an occult practice called necromancy or spiritism. “When they say to you, ‘Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,’ should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of THE DEAD on behalf of the living?” (Isaiah 8:19, ESV). I think one of the unfortunate results of Mary worship is to make spiritual men effeminate as they are engaging in a kind of goddess worship. It also encourages feminism with a kind of Catholic Jezebel spirit, because it exalts a female icon to a position of absolute authority over all Catholic men, which is against the complementarian and patriarchal structure explained in Ephesians 5:21-33. As a matter of fact, the LGBT movement blew up after all these Mary visions happened in the 1980s and 1990s. “There is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS” (1 Timothy 2:5, KJV). –J.B.

13 If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. –2 Corinthians 5:13-15 (NIV)–

Leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, LET US GO ON TO PERFECTION, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. –Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV)–
12 NOT THAT I HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED, OR AM ALREADY PERFECTED; BUT I PRESS ON, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I DO NOT COUNT MYSELF TO HAVE APPREHENDED; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and REACHING FORWARD to those things which are ahead, 14 I PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE of the upward CALL OF GOD in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV)–

Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground. –1 Samuel 17:49 (NIV)–
Hope deferred makes the heart sick. –Proverbs 13:12 (NIV)–
Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her. –Genesis 29:20 (NIV)–
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. –1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)–
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and THE TWO WILL BECOME ONE FLESH.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. –Ephesians 5:21-33 (NIV)–
19 MY HUSBAND IS NOT AT HOME; HE HAS GONE ON A LONG JOURNEY. 20 He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.” 21 With persuasive words she led him astray; SHE SEDUCED HIM WITH HER SMOOTH TALK. –Proverbs 7:19-21 (NIV)–
1 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have SEXUAL RELATIONS with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his MARITAL DUTY to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own BODY but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own BODY but yields it to his wife. 5 DO NOT DEPRIVE EACH OTHER except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then COME TOGETHER again so that SATAN will not TEMPT YOU because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN WITH PASSION. 10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A WIFE MUST NOT SEPARATE FROM HER HUSBAND. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But IF THE UNBELIEVER LEAVES, LET IT BE SO. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to LIVE IN PEACE. 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? –1 Corinthians 7:1-16 (NIV)–
