What play on words does Paul use to emphasize how God's third wrath is appropriate for what man has done with the knowledge of God? What is Paul trying to say by his list of twenty one vices? How do we know that men know that their sin deserves death? What is the end extent of man's depravity? What is the "fourth exchange," and how does that answer our condition? (59 min)

How does the desire mentioned in God's first judgment differ from the desire mentioned in his second judgment? How do people who favor homosexual tolerance view this passage?
