Romans 1:30-32 - But gave approval to those who practise them

1:30,31

The list is expanded for two more verses! These things are the fruit of a godless society, and we can see many of them at work in our own society, which does not bode well for the West. In truth, when an individual or a society chooses to reject God it is choosing to reject life and peace, and death and strife will be the inevitable results.

1:32

Men have an inherent sense of what is right and what is wrong. The rejection of God begins with a declaration that they are trying to attain much the same things that a Godly society would have, yet without God. So they claim to seek justice and fairness, and prosperity for all. But they don’t see any need for God and think that they can achieve these things without God. For a time things may seem OK, but then corruption will seep into society. In the West today we see the “culture of death” at both ends of the age scale. We see an alarming erosion of free speech, and an increase in authoritarianism. Many of the “liberals” are horrified and what they see happening. Indeed, I find it fascinating that nowadays there are many areas where feminists, atheists, liberals who support gay rights and others are arguing for the same things that Christians are with regard to “cancel culture” and the like. Sadly, there are also some so-called Christians who argue for the same things as the illiberal society.
