The oldest thing “we earthly” know,

Was once as young as falling snow.

Ancient hills were once fresh dirt;

Your coat was once a lone, sheep’s “shirt.”

ALL we know had a launching day.

A point beyond which it had no sway.

NKJV  – Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

 

Why did the “translators” leave out

“effeminate”?  Men are glad God made

them men!  Women are happy to be

God-made women!  The “effeminate”

smears the line between GOD’S categories.
