If you want to talk about God in public - you will be denied a permit and could get arrested (happened in Detroit, Michigan, USA), but if you want to have a gay parade...they will give you a permit out of fear of being called "insensitive." If you try to call a holiday on December 25 "Christmas" you are told that you can't do that - that is insensitive. December 25 has to be known as a "Winter Day" If you try to celebrate a Muslim holiday - you are given the day off with pay.

Paco Lips (OP) User ID: 27388460 United States 12/08/2012 05:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | found this explanation... As prophesied by Daniel the prophet, the last days, and the perilous times that shall accompany them, shall be marked by a vast increase in worldly knowledge, but plagued by an overwhelming lack of spiritual wisdom. The discernment of the truth is an ability that has all but disappeared in our modern world because we have abandoned the idea of absolute truth, and repudiated God’s holy word, the source of truth and wisdom. Thus we are ever learning but never coming to an understanding of the truth. (Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.) Modern man places a higher priority on science and philosophy than he places on the word of God. Thus we find ourselves following such theories as evolution, and denying the existence of a Creator God and his law. |

Ephesians 4:17-19 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. |

I think at some point everything will come to light and shown for exactly what it is. |

Psalms 11:2-3 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be destroyed,--- what can the righteous do? The end times conspiracy of the Antichrist involves a subtle scheme to target the true bride of Christ. The Psalmist pinpoints the fact that the wicked are privily (secretly) used by the powers of darkness to lay snares for righteous people and for righteous nations, to choke off the restraining power of the Holy Spirit. Paul alluded to this conspiracy of the evil one becoming a prevailing influence in the Last Days. Jesus also taught that the Last Days would be so perilous, that he even wondered aloud if he would find any faith on the earth when he returned. (Luke 18:8) The true church of the Last Days can expect to find itself seemingly to be up against insurmountable odds, but the Lord has promised that he would rescue his church at the midnight hour! Therefore, Jesus left as last command to watch, and be on the alert for the perils of end time Satanic assaults. If the church can be so deceived, what possible hope can any civil government have against the onslaught of such sinister forces of spiritual darkness? |
