TMSR ROMANS Aug 056. Why does the Bible denounce homosexual acts as unnatural and obscene? (Romans 1: 26, 27)[g 1/12 p. 28 par. 7][/u]. Homosexual acts cannot produce offspring. The Bible compares homosexual activity to the sexual relations that rebellious angels, who came to be known as demons, had with women before the Deluge of Noah’s day. (Genesis 6:4; 19:4, 5; Jude 6, 7) God views both acts as unnatural." wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102012012#p4[/ul] Aug 057. How could "the ransom paid by ChristJesus" in 33 CE cover "the sins that occurred" before it was paid? (Romans 3: 24, 25)[w08 6/15 p. 29 par. 6][/u]. So on the basis of the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Jehovah could forgive the sins of descendants of Adam who exercised faith in that promise. The ransom also makes possible a resurrection of those of pre-Christian times.—Acts 24:15."[/ul] |

Aug 128. What loving privision has Jehovah made for the times when we find ourselves facting extremely perplexing situations and do not know exactly what to pray for? (Romans 8: 26, 27)[w08 6/15 p. 30 par. 10][/u].—Ps. 65:2."[/ul] Aug 199. What is implied by the admonition to "follow the course of hospitality" ? (Romans 12: 13)[w09 10/15 p. 5-6 par. 12-13][/u]. The New Jerusalem Bible renders the expression “look for opportunities to be hospitable.” Hospitality is sometimes expressed by inviting someone for a meal, and when this is done in love, it is commendable. But if we show initiative, we will discover many other ways of being hospitable. For one thing, if our means or our strength do not allow us to invite others for a meal, sharing a cup of coffee, tea, or some other beverage is also a way of showing hospitality. "[/ul] Aug 2610. How do we "put on the Lord Jesus Christ?" as the apostle Paul advises? (Romans 13: 14)[w05 1/1 p. 11-12 par. 20-22][/u]—1 Thessalonians 1:6. 21 We can successfully “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” if we become familiar with the Master’s life and strive to live as he lived. We imitate his humility, his love of righteousness, his hatred of lawlessness, his love for his brothers, his being no part of the world, and his patient endurance of suffering. We do not ‘plan ahead for the desires of the flesh’—that is, we do not make our chief purpose in life the reaching of secular goals or the satisfying of fleshly desires. Rather, when making a decision or handling a problem, we ask: ‘What would Jesus do in this situation? What would he want me to do?’ 22 Finally, we imitate Jesus in keeping busy “preaching the good news.” (Matthew 4:23; 1 Corinthians 15:58) In that way too, Christians follow the pattern that Jesus set, and the following article will discuss how. Can You Explain?"[/ul]
