Since you are having a difficult time with the Truth of the matter.
I'll cite the Master.
"Thall shall not tempt the Lord thy God."
And to give some insight as to what those who have taken the mark of the beast do, they follow the one whom marked them.
And they boast about it.
Matthew 25:31-46New International Version (NIV)
The Sheep and the Goats
These verses do not connect the things you are trying to connect.
I'm still waiting to see how pornography = mark of the beast or substantiation for the claim that Playboy Enterprises is not a for-profit company.
Tether your statements to reality in some way ... or even to scripture, if that's all you can manage.
It's somewhat like extortion in the spiritual realm of warfare.
For example.
Beware of the scibes.
They are the ones that sit by and wait for the tempter do his work in deceptively sowing a seed of temptation.
So that when a person is burdened down and decieved by a lie they are given A false certificate of divorce.
For a small sum of monetary value of course. The scribes have to make a living of course.
In reality this very certificate is sold and resold to the highest bidder. And so they have no care or love for their neighbor in this regard.
All the while the person who signed the certificate has no idea what has occured.
The deceptive seed the enemy planted as a tare is a poison that brings forth fruits and seeds after it's own kind.
Like a stronghold built over time the weeds(thorns)choke out the Good seed that was planted First.
"The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful."
That's a lie. God never bashed any babies heads against rocks.
Ok fine. Let's just move onto the Egyptian first borns or the three cities or the global flood.
And since this thread is about sexual morality, let's talk about the morality of offering one's virgin daughter's to be raped and abused by the crowd. And then later having sex with them.
That was a 'rightous' man who committed those abominations.
...offering one's virgin daughter's to be raped and abused by the crowd.
And then later having sex with them.
That was a 'righteous' man who committed those abominations.
Whoa...
Where did all that happen!!!!?
Some people don't know the Bible ....hello?
Well in fairness, not all in the same breath. The incest came later.
But yes. Lot offered up his daughters to be abused by a crowd that was after his houseguests. Yes, in that society there were few crimes worse than failing to protect your guests, although I'd think failing to protect your daughters would be one of them.
That he would judge on a curve? No...he hates all sin. He punishes all sin.
We can either take the punishment ourselves, or we can let Jesus.
What do you mean "let" Jesus? Didn't already do so, approximately 2,000 years ago?
