Indeed given the depths that man has sunken to, can we get any more vile, wicked, stupid, insane.....etc. Put in whatever adjective that might apply. I think not! And I say this with the greatest reservation for just when I think we have hit the bottom of the barrel, I'm proven wrong. God certainly has His limits, this won't go on forever. Can we get any more lost than we are now, or further from God?! Our degradation into deprivation seems to know no bounds! It's just a matter of how will the Lord God Almighty tolerate?! TR TR and amazingly, God loves us! Psalm 136 states it all but the last verse 26 sums it up... 26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. he has the wicked for the day of wrath, Prov. 16:4 The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. hang in there .... “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” —Jeremiah 31:3 :prayer-hands: Thanks Tammie, I never tire of hearing of God''s love! Even though I will never understand God's love for me and us, I am blown away that it was He who initiated this divine romance in the first place! Again, for what it's worth, I believe that we are presently stepping on God's last nerve. TR The boldness of iniquity is what amazes me so much and how those who are pushing their agenda are so blind to what it will bring about. The gay and lesbian community wasn’t happy with equal status. They want preferred status and now, after all the other letters of the alphabet that they've added another letter: +P for pedophiles. How can ANYONE in their right mind think pedophiles deserve preferred status instead of being locked up, thought the key here is “right mind”. Obviously, these people are not in their right mind. They, and all who support them have been given over to a debased mind. Justifying our decisions, lifestyles, and preferred sins of choice satisfy our seared conscience. Whether it be leaving untold wealth to our pets or wanting to be married to them, there is boundry that can't be crossed! Again, if the law of man makes such a thing "legal", then it can't be a sin. Ergo, we don't have to answer to God! No worries mate! TR The devil is using the same old tricks to deceive our society ... why?... because it works ... just like he did long ago with other civilizations. The world back then was judged with water and soon the Lord will have to judge the current evil rebellious crowd as well ... but this time with fire ... 2 Peter 3:3-13 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Ecclesiastes 1:9 .... And there is nothing new under the sun Judges 21:25 .... every man did that which was right in his own eyes Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil Geri you are correct in quoting Ecclesiastical preacher.... nothing new, the loop of mankind, same lie from the father of lies....we see history repeating itself and winding down according to God’s time clock We are living the days of Noah over again. We are living the times of Sodom and Gomorrah again. Romans 1:24 “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,” Provers 16:4 “The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.” It is incredibly difficult for those who live according to God’s rules to see or understand such wickedness. We live by our faith and keep looking up, because evil prevails at this end of time on earth and we would be swallowed up by evil, BUT GOD! :prayer-hands: :flyup: Indeed it is not the measure of sin that we have seen or experienced but rather the level that God has seen, and knows we are capable of! True, the past is revisited in the present! Technically this thread is based on a fools question. The point however is our righteousness indignation can never equal that of God! TR
