It is like we live in a world where homosexuality and every single deviation from what God created to be (deviations such as trans-gender, multiple wives or husbands, bi sexual, pan sexual... which basically means anything goes as long as those involved in it are consenting adults; don't know if this means animals too; don't care and just , gay/lesbian/multi multi partnered homes being portrayed constantly on tv in a positive light where as traditional family, if portrayed at all, is delivered to us in a negative way). It goes on and on.
The absolute worst part about it, how it is celebrated by most everyone. If a word of disapproval spoken at all... the person voicing this disapproval of such acts is called every name in the book and deemed a hateful racist. If a person tries to celebrate their own traditional values they are immediately condemned and labeled as hateful and racist. Anything moral and as God intended = hateful and racist.
Yes, it is worse when same people doing these things, celebrating these things, claim to be Christian. Like you, I pray for them. I don't understand how they can reconcile that they live such an openly sinful lifestyle and at the same time call themselves children of Christ.
I do understand Christians who struggle with sin. I am one of them. The difference, we don't call it "right". So, if a true Christian struggles with alcoholism, with anger issues, with selfishness, with homosexuality; all those things we recognize as what they are.... WRONG. We mess up and we do wrong things. But we try not to. When we have done wrong, we repent; verses calling our sin good and celebrating it. We are certainly not proud of the wrong we do.
As time moves on, everything that is anti-God, celebrated more and more. Anything traditional, moral, stated as 'good' in the Bible, anything having to do with Christ, with God.... immediately condemned by society. Currently, Christians are openly discriminated against (not so much our basic rights, but with negative words such as hateful and racist). God, and Christ, still factor into society enough so that there are people out there who, I guess they care enough to lie to themselves. Maybe they really do believe in God but haven't truly accepted Jesus into their heart, or maybe they are simply afraid of death and so it comforts them to "say" they are Christian as they run around committing every sin they can possibly fathom. Or maybe these people know exactly what they are doing and are trying to destroy the last vestiges of what is left of Christianity in this nation.
It'll eventually get to the point to where Christianity is illegal, and considered akin to the word 'terrorist'. That is where we are headed. The farther this nation gets from God, the more depravity we see, the more violence we see. This nation is barely recognizable to me anymore. It's sad when the average 2 year old already knows the definition of the words 'gay' and 'straight'. I had no clue at that age. But they put this stuff in movies for children, in toddler learning programs, in cartoons. And if the little ones don't hear about it that way, they hear about it at day care and at preschool when the teacher reads them books everyday about Janie having 2 mommies and when it comes time to go to the bathroom the toddlers are even more confused because suddenly they are told they are no longer a 'boy' or a 'girl' and what bathroom would they like to use today/would they like to be a boy or a girl today?
Sodom and Gomorrah was so bad off that groups of homosexual men were banging on Lot's door demanding to rape an angel. I don't know what else went on in that place, but truly I can't imagine it being much worse than it currently is here in the USA. There's not much more 'taboo' left to declassify from the category called WRONG. There is not a lot left in that category. Even murdering babies is permissible. (Personally, that is the thing that gets to me MOST.)
Today's generation, those that are currently babies, I don't see them getting to be my age. I think for sure God will come before then. Because with each successive generation, due to society teaching people within it to celebrate and aspire to what is... no disputing it... SIN; each successive generation gets worse and worse. I pray for them as it is so much more difficult for them than it was for us. At least we were taught these things were wrong when we were babies. For them, they are not taught basic morals and values. I would imagine that God will consider this when they stand before Him and He judges them.
