The forces of hate and the relics of the past.
Last nght, I saw a United States Congressman, on national TV call Christians the "forces of hate" and "relics of the past", in response to them declaring what God's plan for marriage is.
I found the idea nonsense, but that's the time we live in. Right has become wrong, what used to be taboo to even talk about on TV is now the law of the land, and we can't expect God to bless America when we're living in outright defiance to His word. Think about that. Do we trust God, or does our money lie? If we trusted God, it seems to me that we surely would pay more attention to what He has to say on matters. But we don't.
At least not our secular government.
I don't hate anybody. There are people I prefer not to be around, but that's just life and if I feel that way about some, I'm sure the feeling is shaared by people who feel the same about me. I prefer these days to be not as controvercial as I used to be so there's that. But still, just because I believe what God's word says about homosexuality, that doesn't make me a hater. It makes me a believer and from reading the Bible several times, I understand what the consequences will be for supporting such things as this. It's never ended well for anybody in history before, I'm guessing it won't end well in this case, either.
Marriage has existed from the beginning as between one man and one woman. Period. We didn't stand for bigamy or polygamy, but what's to stop that practice from reairing its ugly head now that anythhing goes? Do we allow it under the guise of "love"?
The "relics of the past" ought to be really concerned about being equated to the forces of hate. We aren't. If we're doing it right, we're the forces of love, the love God has for sinners who need a Savior, as each human being on earth is. We are trying to, mostly in love, trying to point out that what God says about this, and for that matter, every issue in life should prevail among us, that we might find favor and blessing from Him.
Or so says I.
