It must be so.
If we are to believe the Bible, than this development is on course for the end times described in multiple places in the Bible.
Delight in Truth predicted here that the Defense of Marriage Act will be repealed making gay marriage an official institution in this country. It was inevitable given our moral slippage.
This will continue. LBGT rights will invade in the most unlikely of places: the church. The Body of Christ will be affected but not destroyed. It will continue to thrive spiritually but details such as loss of tax exempt status and hate speech legislation will become the mainstay of our lives going forward.
Preaching against the depravity listed in Romans 1 will become unlawful.
Denying a marriage ceremony to a same sex couple may become punishable by a revocation of license, a fine or worse… Jail time.
Repealing DOMA is just a step in a process that is leading to a final and glorious event: the second coming of our Lord.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.”
That’s right… your brought up the good news , the bible is being fulfilled
Manny is working on a series about dreams and visions and I am working on a post about false prophets. I knew I could rely on you to put up something on this subject, Delight.
I couldn’t agree more with your statement:
“Repealing DOMA is just a step in a process that is leading to a final and glorious event: the second coming of our Lord.”
We are getting closer. I believe we will see some fireworks before the church is raptured, but I also think that His coming is eminent.
And for those who think that only the Old Testament deals with this issue, here are a few verses from 1 Corinthians 6:
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
The Bible is clear on the topic. Canada isn’t listening and much of South America isn’t listening. And now America is slowly (I hope) going down the same path of destruction.
May God have mercy on us (Why should He when He hasn’t on others?).
God’s blessings my friend…
So encouraging to read your words about the eminent coming of our Lord!
It may be that Canada is the model for the path that US is taking… Especially with respect to hate speech… We are heading the same direction…
Hold on for the fireworks!
Delight, i agree with your statement about the inevitable.
What will come of the Crystal Cathedral and happy faces (Joel Osteen) former stadium? Yes, indeed our lord is on the way, evident in people all over the world who seek to know God and are receiving dreams and visions. Exciting times in spite of slew foots wave of perversion, due to his fear of his soon coming swim in the lake of fire.
It is amazing to see the affect of Satan’s rule in the mind of people Who do not call upon the Lord Jesus.—Garbage in garbage out!
Manny, interesting that you mentioned the Crystal cathedral… One of the big modern failures of the evangelical church. It is a beautiful building not too far from where I live, but the apostatic universalist leadership of that church led it into the ground by accumulating tens of millions in debt. The Crystal Cathedral is now a catholic institution… It was purchased by Catholics a few years ago.
I now pronounce you wife & wife… Yeah, maybe in the eyes of the “law”, but NEVER in the eyes of the LORD~where it actually matters!!
Welcome to Delight in Truth, Shawny. You’re right, our ultimate law was not written by man…
It’s disgusting watching the direction our culture is headed.
