(NIV)
Romans 1
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
I read a news, in America, there is a couple, the husband said:"We are a regular family, one man, one woman family" However, the "man", "husband" got pregnant because he is a "transferred sex". He was she, a woman.
Life for this anti God's will type of life is going to be harder than the one who follow God's will regardless if the life style are accepted by other or not. She want to be a man, but actually she could not totally be a man, she still get pregnant. It is not easy to be pregnant and also be an only bread winning person for the family. Pregnancy can bring a lot of stress.
That is why God tell us what is a rather happier and easier life style in His Bible.
I don't want to be forced to (agree) ->(comply) some behavior like homosexual because it is legal by the land of law when God said that is illegal and sin. If so, I could be persecuted

at the following的补充。是我的表达力不足且没时间详明我的意思。感谢我的神,使我不觉得这是要分胜负的论坛。It is just a forum.
Yes, this is fact: “凡合法的東西都不一定人人同意”。
单单是不同意的人不会受到逼迫。
因为有言论自由的法律保障,在香港是吗?我想我的法律知識只够我不做违法的事。But not enough to protect myself.
On the other hand, considering this is what my GOD expects me to do:
彼得前書 2:13-14
13你們為主的緣故,要順服人的一切制度,或是在上的君王
, 14 或是君王所派罰惡賞善的臣宰。
Romans
13:1-2
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities for there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
When the law of land against the law of God, even I can not agree with the law of land, at least, I must comply the law of land. People could be persecuted have (機會給逼迫) if they do not comply the law of land.
For Example: Muhammad Ali (I might misspell the name), the boxer, his faith in his God does not agree with him to be a solder and join the war (I don’t know if it was the Korean War or the Vietnam War).
He was sent to jail because he fail to comply the law of his country.
Suppose I ran a nonprofit publicly know Christian organization, a homosexual person applied a job work for me.
If I did not hire him, would I and my organization 被他告
for discrimination?機會給逼迫.
In some land, there is no freedom of speech. In Europe, a speaker just spoke about the Bible does not agree with homosexuality in a church. As a result he was put in to jail because that land has legalized homosexual marriage and does not allow freedom of speech. Another 機會給逼迫.
