Discussion not preaching?
Really?
NEW DEFINITIONS - remaking language to support agenda
Preaching is generally used to describe statements opposed to the gay life style.
Discussion is generally used to describe assertions that support the gay life style.
When conversation erodes to the point of redefining words to support an agenda, it ceases to be efficacious to anybody. Conversation becomes noise and accusation without meaning and devoid of anything useful - destined for the ash heap of history.
In actual fact, those who oppose the gay life style are not angry about gay people;
as much as they are of being told to shut up about it.
as much as their words are deliberately misrepresented,
as much as having gay folks, who refuse the insinuation of morality into their lives, turn around and insinuate gay values into the lives of rest of us.
Shut up about it?
When truth is suppressed there is no discussion. When preaching is demonized truth is denied.
Hypocrisy is openly displayed by the gay community when it insists upon being allowed to live as it pleases, but denies the same right to others.
ICHABOD - the Greatest Hypocrite
In the midst of our cultural war the final word on the matter consists neither of preaching nor discussion. It is the Word of God. It too has been denied a voice in the matter in the most unusual of places - the church. The church is guilty of greater sin, wickedness, hypocrisy and lies than any group among us. Look and see. The church is withering and dying like cut flowers two weeks old because it has cut itself off from its root,
the Word of God.
This root, this voice, this Word of God has been denied over and over again by the church -
in official statements as well as practice. Instead of upholding a standard the church has turned a deaf ear to the Word of God and accepted the gay life style as appropriate. Therefore a terrible judgment has fallen upon the church.(1 Peter 4:17)
A FAMINE has been declared by God, a famine not of bread and water but of the Word of God in revelation as well as sound teaching. If man will not heed God's word and mock Him continually, then God will no longer speak in gentle tones and kind actions. The end result will be a series of object lessons that will be both permanent and painful. Hopefully the church will wise up and shorten the process, but I have my doubts.
There is nothing more to talk about. The church is Ichabod. (1 Sam 4:21)
Therefore no more Words from God will be given to those churches which have openly rejected the Word of God. A famine of the Word of God is declared, not by any lack of mercy on heaven's part, but by the willful wickedness of church leaders who have turned their back upon God. Who respect man more than God. Who love donation$ more than grace.
God does not argue with man. He acts.
A FAMINE of the Word of God has been declared. (Amos 8:11)
Judgment is upon the church.
Hear this - Sunday morning sinners and Saturday night sinners alike -
the ONLY prayer that will be heard by heaven is the prayer of repentance.
The time to repent of sin is NOW.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft.....
