True, Ollie. Thank you.
But still, this is the first time that specific sin, to my knowledge has regularly and increasingly received "official" recognition--both in corporate and commercial circles worldwide(in their hiring policies, which can be accessed online), and of course in government ones as well.
Yes, I agree and it could be the very transgression that will end the lonsuffering of God toward man as it seemed to do at other points of man in time. Christians should continue to be instant in season and out of season, preaching and abiding in the word of God always. Then they will be ready when He comes again to claim them and in the meantime perhaps snatch some from the coming fires.
It's not sin to be a woman, black, handicapped, etc. And they've smuggled it in under that protection. Women, blacks and the handicapped should all be roundly insulted (little wonder that rumor has it now that atheists may be adopting the term "bright", in the same way as the word "gay" was thirty years ago. No one seems to remember what Josef Stalin's atheism in fact meant for literally millions in Russia...)
Are we the people through our representatives legislating laws that are anti-God, anti-Christ. The day is probably coming if not already here when God's people will be forced to disobey the law of the land because the laws are not of God.
Lucifer is equated with "brightness".
Is not God and His Christ usually described as "brightness"?
Is not Lucifer, Satan, that serpent usually described with darkness?
2 Thessalonians 2: 8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming:
9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And many in the gay movement are highly educated, well-heeled. One of the guys on that Bravo TV show Queer Guys has graduate degrees in Fine Arts/Finance, etc.
They are probably active in all walks of life. I suspect the majority of them are low keyed and not demonstrative and flaunting as Hollywood and the media has painted their image. Therefore one would not know their sexual preferences by their just going about the daily routines of making a living etc..
This is the first time to my knowledge in recorded history that a sin has received wholesale, specific public protection and endorsement--increasingly now, I understand, according to John Leo in last week's U.S. News magazine, ruminations on pain of criminal prosecution, in Europe, if you speak out against it.
It could happen in America.
This is the first time in recorded history that specific sin has received specific endorsement, collectively, by both the public and private sectors. I'm not sure that even the Romans or Greeks perpetrated an official policy along these lines, like this--or any other "official" governement down through the ages.
What of Sodom and Gommorah? Was there any official policy of civil government there? I will have to study it again.
