Intolerance in Romans

  1. "The wrath of God" is on all unbelievers. 1:18-20

  2. The existence and nature of God are self-evident; thus, unbelievers are "without excuse." 1:20

  3. Atheists have dark and foolish hearts. 1:21

  4. God abandons those who don't know him to "uncleanness and vile affections." 1:24, 26, 28

  5. With his usual intolerance, Paul condemns homosexuals (including lesbians). This is the only clear reference to lesbians in the Bible. 1:26-28

  6. Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death." 1:31-32

  7. Paul says that those who accuse him of lying deserve damnation. 3:8

  8. "He that doubteth is damned ... Whosoever is not of faith is sin." 14:23

  9. Shun those who disagree with your religious views. 16:17
