And so.. why do many sons of men tend to go into city lifestyles rather than stay near their 'father's' houses/suburban areas and neighborhoods? Their local school systems play a large part. Why would parents to a local bully not mind that their grade school or high school child is involved with 'bullying' as the antagonizer? Because although the school student is well dressed and not in shabby clothing, still yet, he/she will bully another student who lives in that neighborhood or school zone. And why do none of the other parents know of these parents' life, neighborhood affiliation, etc??? Even within those close-knitted suburban neighborhoods? Now days, you have front porch cameras catching thieves within these 'suburbaned' neighborhoods. The news about the children who were found in the basement of the home.. And the father and mother were brought to court. Basements and homes are not usually within city bordered definitions; maybe suburbs, maybe rural but not citied. Why doesn't an official of safety who has authority and proper State credentials take some of these youths and 'ask' them what the truth to the matter is. Not in threatening, but in sincere concern to 'their', these 'bullies' own lives and well being BEFORE they become too old to be able to receive 'sincere care' from someone who is 'younger' than themselves. Youths need 'parental/honorable' guardianship(s) not 'dishonorable/parental' basement lockups. Are the numbers of 'these types of youths' in each City/County/State THAT NUMEROUS that it is a 'burden' of sorts to try and assist with sincere care because there are not enough 'facilities' to accommodate them 'all'? Is everyone trying to focus on 'purchasing' or 'building' accommodations rather than seeking personal 'well being'?
Truly, are their numbers THAT over the availability? Has anyone actually weighed the available with the needing? Or are their 'eyes larger than their stomach'? 'finish what's on the plate before adding more'. Not only to the underage 'homeless' but to the breachers and breakers to each their State Compulsory Education Laws? So how would there NOT be opportunity to 'seek, ask, and knock'?
Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:8-11 "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" What? I'm 'evil'? What's that about? I'm more oppressed than happy and bright eyed bushy tailed. I suffer more than rejoice. How can I be called 'evil' for having these be more in abundant than the other 'blessings'? 4190. ponéros Strong's Concordance ponéros: toilsome, bad Original Word: πονηρός, ά, όν Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: ponéros Phonetic Spelling: (pon-ay-ros') Definition: toilsome, bad Usage: evil, bad, wicked, malicious, slothful.

Luke 21:4 "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."

So instead of looking at the verse in 1 Corinthians about 'homosexuals' in the light of what the definition means today; however not neglecting to note that the use of the definition of 'homosexual' today, was not in language 'use' when 1 Corinthians was written, what could be that 'abominable' or 'non-stoppable' act such as lying lips or any other 'abomination' be? http://www.thekingsbible.com/Concordance/abomination Because although the word 'homosexual' is used in many current translations, does this only apply to males who are engaging in sexual intercourse with males? Or does this word 'homosexual' apply to females also? Females being uomo's or homo's, as well? In latin the word Homo means, mankind, right? not really.. more like man. The Latin word for female would be femella. So what does this 'homosexual' verse mean? Basically it is this. Back in those days of well endowed 'males' of which many Phallic practicing events and contests and rituals were held within, the 'man' who could use his endowment to those days' of 'requiring' 'respect' unto for whichever the 'contest' or 'ritual' with its own 'rules and points' to place first or second or third prize, etc... were, these phallic 'fun' games were a part of the norm, especially in certain 'places'/towns, cities, etc.... And it was to this cause that The Apostle Paul warns against. That for either male or female to participate, sexually with such well endowed males, will lead to a non stoppability to continue with such sexual practices. And so at least 'we' know now, right? So sorry. I was not 'made' to seek after having sex with well endowed males; even IF I was or not a male who has sex with another male. Nor was I 'made' to seek after having sex with endowed males, even IF I was a female who sought to have sex with another male. To this point also, did The Apostle Paul address in 1 Corinthians 6:9 pertaining to the current word used; 'homosexuals'
