The Ultimate Sin
The Ultimate Sin
Ezekiel 16:49
Intro: There are many horrible and wicked things done every moment, every day. If you were to write down what the most offensive, egregious, wicked sin is, what would it be? Perhaps unbelief, fornication, anger, bitterness, adultery, hypocrisy, murder or any other sin could be compiled in this list as wicked and horrible. We might classify these as an abomination unto God. In our society, much is made of the sinful lifestyle called homosexuality. This lifestyle is an abomination and wicked. One of the earliest records of this sin was at the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The name Sodomite is given to those who abide in this wicked lifestyle. Yet God would classify a Sodomite somewhat differently than you and I might. We see in this verse the description of the lifestyle that destroyed the city of Sodom.

After firing a few shots, he walked over to the fallen birds and was surprised to find his parrot badly ruffled with a broken wing. When the farmer’s children saw the injured bird, they asked, “Dad, what happened?” The farmer simply replied, “Bad company.”

Rom 5:12
(12) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Rom 3:10-18
(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
