@NancyMace Yes, the truth may hurt but it is still the truth. The people who consider a man in his 50s who "married" a six year old girl a "perfect" man do not belong in any country that is historically Christian. Islam is not just a religion, it is system of government.
@jeanalawson4@megbasham@DaBearsGoBlue13 Perhaps there are those who are over the top in their admiration of a man like Trump. However, wanting closed borders and a strong pro energy policy doesn't make a person a Christian or not a Christian.
In the Old Testament, we are told of good kings who “did what was right in the eyes of the Lord,” but who did not tear down the high places. These were places of idolatrous worship. And even though Israel would go back to mostly serving the true God under the leadership of these kings, they were still willing to allow this little bit of culturally destructive compromise to stand.
So when the good king died, the mechanism for the gross idolatry was still there, and the idol worship would come roaring back with a vengeance.
But the best kings in the Old Testament were those like Hezekiah and Josiah, who completely dismantled these high places. Who tore out every vestige of idolatry root and branch.
And that is what needs to be done with this demon god of the rainbow flag. Because we know now the level of depravity to which it inevitably leads.
-It represents the buying and selling of human babies for homosexual couples who can never create a child on their own.
-It represents dressing little boys up as girls so they can perform sexualized movements for grown men in ritual dances.
-It represents cutting off the breasts of healthy young girls, mutilating and defacing their natural beauty.
-It represents giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to boys who will never be fathers and who will lose all sexual function.
-It represents stocking gay pornography in school libraries for even the tiniest kids and adult men engaging in sexual fetish performances for children.
-it represents placing women in danger by requiring the admittance of predatory men to their private, vulnerable spaces.
Right now, we learn from scripture, is the moment where good people following the true God will be tempted to think, we’ve had enough victories. Who cares about these June pride posts. The LGBTQ movement has lost so many battles recently, we can rest on our laurels, knowing that we have turned back the tide on the worst excesses of this movement.
But that is exactly the opposite of what we need to do. Tearing down high places is hard work. Especially when the high place is manifested as a Supreme Court ruling. But it can be achieved with patience, diligence, and strength of purpose.
We have had some significant victories in the last few years. But clearly, we are not done. So let’s grab a virtual ax and refuse to allow them any peace on these demonic celebrations.
Like Hezekiah and Josiah, we need to tear it out root and branch.
@drandrewhebert This doesn't line up at all with the decline of the mainstream denominations as they did not resist the drift toward liberalism. Drawing the line at the fundamentals has always been the right course and always will be.
@jimschaubroeck@NeilShenvi@RobertDownen_ This is all about the upcoming convention. It is hard to make a case that a dead man needs 'protection". This is the long war against God and His Word.
@amyfromatown@stuartsumrall@NeilShenvi@RobertDownen_ Perhaps less common now. The point is that both male and female have not generally considered being naked in front of one another to have any moral implications. If you believe in eternal life is to be found then keeping children away from church would seem unwise.

If Southern Baptists would stop playing footsies with the Greears, Akins, Merritts, and others who have encouraged us to be as unclear as possible about our theological commitments regarding men, women, and their distinctive roles in the church, I believe we would be reaping the harvest of young men who are returning to church but want CLEAR and UNCOMPROMISING biblical doctrine.
If something doesn’t change next month, the exodus will continue. I probably hear from a pastor a month who tells me their church has left the convention because they are tired of these games.
