1 Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, [a] called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son, who was born of a [b]descendant of David according to the flesh, 4 who was declared the Son of God with power [c]by the resurrection from the dead, according to the [d]Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship [e]to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7 to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as [f] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ [g]for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. 9 For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you, 10 always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you. 11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be [h]established; 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am [i]under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed [j]from faith to faith; as it is written, “[k] But the righteous man shall live by faith.”
Unbelief and Its Consequences
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth [l]in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident [m]within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not [n]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and [o]crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for [p]a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed [q]forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is [r]unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing [s]indecent acts and receiving in [t]their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit [u]to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, [v] haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
If you think that, accusing falsely to Jesus of homosexuality, you will
be absolved you are absolutely WRONG…
Finally, somebody with real answers. Here’s a question: How come Darth Vader was able to sense that Luke was his son but he couldn’t do the same with Leia?
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
That’s the problem Dude “you are trying to answer a spiritual fact” with a science fiction movie…
Wake up, even a kindergarten boy knows that two men can NOT procreate a son, they can NOT bring life and fulfill our task of reproduction… ¿ ?
Simple, touche…
The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob
Maybe, for you guys, this is an example of creativity…
It is understandable when you realize the grade of Ignorance and Depravity of the world nowadays…
Joshuah is about to return so maybe you should realize that there is NOT to much time left so You better use your time left to read about Him and repent while there is time, and do NOT think that i feel hurt by this, you are NOT insulting me, you are INSULTING the creator of the universe, the only true God that gave His life for you so you can live and be save from your sins… and the most amazing thing is that “it doesn’t matter what you say and think” about Him, He loves you anyway and wants to fotgive You.
Do NOT let it go GAYS, sorry Guys…

Anthony Kiedis looking very much like this photo of Freddie these days…is he perhaps channeling his inner Fred:D
Boxcar's lovely wife
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Freddie looking that good. And even Jesus looks healthy for a change. Maybe love has done them both some good. I am a bit jealous though because I’ve wanted to marry Freddie since I was 13. I guess I’ll just have to bow out to the better man.
Oh, and thankfully they are both in a cloud above SOUTH Carolina, so, phew, no worries there.
I love this, Fish. Genius again!
(this is the ONE that I will have to own, unless of course, you plan on doing an illustration of Jesus with Elvis Costello)
What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding?

Wow – Just Fucking Wow….! Well done, Fish – well done. The Abrahamic bigots will hide behind the hypocritical minutiae of their good books. And continue to kill the spirit in the name of literalist religion.
