God Gives People Over To Their Desires

  • God judges by giving people over to what they desire, feel, and think as a progressive-handed judgment: heart desires, bodily passions, then a debased mind.
  • Preaching Pastor explains Greek wordplay: refusing to value God (edokimason) leads to a mind that is worthless (adokimon), making the judgment literary and theological.
