		<description><![CDATA[(International Standard Version)
Rom 1:21  For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 
Rom 1:22  Though claiming to be wise, they became fools 
Rom 1:23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles. 
Rom 1:24  For this reason, God delivered them to sexual impurity as they followed the lusts of their hearts and dishonored their bodies with one another. 
Rom 1:25  They exchanged God&#039;s truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 
Rom 1:26  For this reason, God delivered them to degrading passions as their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural. 
Rom 1:27  In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion. 
Rom 1:28  Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to keep knowing God fully, God delivered them to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done. 
Rom 1:29  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips, 
Rom 1:30  slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents, 
Rom 1:31  foolish, faithless, heartless, and ruthless. 
Rom 1:32  Although they know God&#039;s just requirement—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Homosexuality and Transgenderism are choices not a predestination. 

The Power of the Will 

     The tempted one needs to understand the true force of the will. This is the governing power in the nature of man--the power of decision, of choice. Everything depends on the right action of the will. Desires for goodness and purity are right, so far as they go; but if we stop here, they avail nothing. Many will go down to ruin while hoping and desiring to overcome their evil propensities. They do not yield the will to God. They do not choose to serve Him.  
     God has given us the power of choice; it is ours to exercise. We cannot change our hearts, we cannot control our thoughts, our impulses, our affections. We cannot make ourselves pure, fit for God&#039;s service. But we can choose to serve God, we can give Him our will; then He will work in us to will and to do according to His good pleasure. Thus our whole nature will be brought under the control of Christ.  
     Through the right exercise of the will, an entire change may be made in the life. By yielding up the will to Christ, we ally ourselves with divine power. We receive strength from above to hold us steadfast. A pure and noble life, a life of victory over appetite and lust, is possible to everyone who will unite his weak, wavering human will to the omnipotent, unwavering will of God.&quot; -- Ministry of Healing, p. 176]]></description>
