CHAPTER EIGHT

SEXUAL PERVERSION

In our treatment of the subject of sexual immorality it is necessary that we consider sexual perversion. It isn't just confined to the scum of society but there are many educated, intelligent people from refined social backgrounds that practice some form of sexual perversion. Some doctors, psychiatrists, teachers and even some churches and ministers are approving of it under the guise of civil rights and human liberty. Many feel that this issue shouldn't be addressed at all for fear of adding to the hostile environment.

The main reason we call these things perverted is because they are unnatural and scripture clearly tells us those who do such things are committing abominations.

“You shall not lie with mankind, as with

woman kind: it is abomination”

Leviticus 18:22

Homosexuality is also referred to as the sin of sodomy. This reference comes from an account in the Bible of two exceeding wicked cities, Sodom and

Gomorrah, which the Lord destroyed. Sodom was known for its rampant homosexuality and unrestrained sexual lust. When the lord sent angels to warn Lot who lived in the city that it was about to be destroyed, the men of the city actually wanted to rape the Angels! (Genesis 13:13) But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly”. In the Old
