A "Stink in the nostrils of God"

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,
and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 1:7


"Not one particle of Sodomitish impurity will escape the wrath of God
 at the execution of the judgment.
Those who do not repent of and forsake all uncleanness will fall with the wicked.

......they sin with a high hand,
give way to all the loose passions of the carnal heart,
gratify their animal propensities,
disgrace the cause of God,
and then confess they have sinned and are sorry!
And the church receives them and says "Amen" to their prayers and exhortations,
which are a stink in the nostrils of God
and cause His wrath to come upon the camp.

He will not dwell in their assemblies.
Those who move on thus heedlessly,
plastering over these sins,
will be left to their own ways,
to be filled with their own doings.


Those who anciently committed these sins were taken without the camp and stoned to death. Temporal and eternal death was their doom;
and because the penalty of stoning to death is abolished,
this sin is indulged in beyond measure,
and is thought to be a small offense.




Handbills on which indecent pictures are printed are posted up along our streets to allure the eyes and deprave the morals. These presentations are of such a character as to stir up the basest passions of the human heart through corrupt imaginings.
These corrupt imaginings are followed by defiling practices like those in which the Sodomites indulged." Manuscript Releases vol.8,p.168 E.G.W.
