Sometimes words fail us.
Ok, we found a few words.
In Romans 1 Paul says that his purpose is to preach the gospel, for in it “the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith just as it is written: ‘The righteous (or just) will live by faith’” (verse 17). He goes on to compare the righteous saints with unrighteous people upon whom the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven. He lists the works of the unrighteous who have incurred God’s wrath and then says that “God gave them up” to three things:
• “God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them” (verse 24).
• “God gave them over to degrading passions” (verse 26).
• “God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (verse 28).
The Greek word (paradidōmi) translated “gave over” or “gave up” means “surrendered, yielded up, entrusted, or transmitted.” In this context, it refers to God completely abandoning the unrighteous. As the wicked desert God, God in turn deserted them, no longer giving them divine direction or restraint, but allowing them to corrupt themselves as they wished. Because they will not honor Him, He allows them do what they please to dishonor themselves. Being given over or yielded up to one’s sinful desires is a judgment from God.
In this outworking of the depravity of the human heart, the contrast between light and darkness becomes more apparent.
“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19).
As apostate protestantism refuses to keep God in their knowledge, they commit crimes against reason, even against their own welfare, and God gives them over in their rebellion.
Ps. The drag queen Brita Filter, performing above in a church was invited by the Biden administration to the White House for the signing of the H.R. 8404 same-sex-marriage legislation today.
Ever since Babel, God’s peculiar mark of judgment on rebellion is spiritual, ethical and sexual confusion.

“Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes. When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you,“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD” (Proverbs 1:25-29).
