It’s not “passive” wrath; it’s wrath. See Romans 13; even government is a tool of God’s wrath. What we’ve forgotten in our generation is that God can be wrathful toward his children yet love us at the same time. Jesus has taken away the final and ultimate wrath against believers but God today does punish believers for our own good.
It's bad enough that the author of the Passion "Translation" admitted to not knowing or having "minimal background" in the languages he claims to be translating.
But what if you found out that his wife actually makes numerous changes to the translation?
Well...
No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others.
You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all.
Enough!
If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists.
If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized.
For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent.
It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.
Mormons believe God the Father was once a limited man who currently has a wife and lives on a planet called Kolob…
The “gospel” of Mormonism is that you can also become a god and own your own planet.
Mormons are not Christians.
Apart from repentance and faith in the Jesus of the Bible, women like this will one day discover that the Christ they mock is also the Christ before whom they must give an account.
It’s a free country and people can believe as they wish, but to present oneself as a Christian while denying definitive doctrines of the faith is an insult to Christians.
'Pastor' at Peace Lutheran Church in Las Cruces says that Jesus' statements of "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me" are not exclusionary, but rather an argument FOR some type of universalism.
From my personal knowledge of people in CCM this is quite common. Many enter the space with motivations of fame and wealth, not godliness. But there are some exceptional standouts! Praise God for them.
Former band members from the popular 90's CCM band Avalon have re-released the song "Testify To Love" as an LGBTQ affirming anthem and claim it's always has been about queer love.
One of those former members, Melissa Greene, writes in her Substack post alongside photos of another band member kissing his husband at the altar that "love is for everyone" and "Michael never needed to be redeemed. He was always whole and worthy."
This phenomenon of believing that we are somehow nicer than God, that Romans 1 is too harsh or that passages affirming the holiness of marriage between one man and one woman are simply too difficult to accept, is false. We go to God's word for what's true about sexuality and marriage.
If something in the Word of God seems wrong, cruel, or confusing to us, the problem is not with God. It’s not with His Word. It’s with us.
Feminism is one of the greatest evils in human history.
It has slaughtered 1.5 billion babies in a global genocide, poisoned relations between men and women, stripped women of their design to birth and nurture life, emasculated men, trained women to hate men, destabilized society, and left women lonely, depressed, and suicidal—reduced to hollow, dysfunctional imitations of men.
