As Christians continue to process the ramifications of the Supreme Court’s supreme arrogance on the same sex mirage issue, one of the things we must continue to remember to do is review the basics. This of course will include constantly reviewing what the Scriptures explicitly teach on the matter of same sex sexual activity, but it is also important for us to go a layer beneath all that.

We also need to keep reviewing what the Bible teaches about the nature of man’s nature, and the nature of man’s choices. A hidden driver in a lot of what is going on around us is something that doesn’t appear to have anything to do with human sexuality. But it really does. The roofline is cockeyed because of blunders in the foundation work.

We have to identify, and reject, two false doctrines concerning man — one oddly mixes genetic destiny with Pelagianism, while the other oddly mixes heroic choices with absurdity — a form of existentialism.

All I can say is that not taking responsibility for yourself leads to doubts and debts that can be blamed easily on others.

To say this is “one nation under God” is a travesty,
an insult to the Lord. We should remove it from the
Pledge. In fact, we are “one nation with some people
under God” which places us on par with many other
nations.

Homosexuality is condemned in both new & old testament. Christ kept the whole law; else He couldn’t qualify for the supreme sacrifice. - Having said that; I reserve the right to respect this fact and observe it. - I get the fact that the U.S. government and “culture” has gone the way of all flesh; and the very freedom that has defined the U.S. is also rotting it from the inside out and has us all by the throat. - I’m to the place of letting those who will be filthy be filthy still. - Sadly, U.S. culture today richly deserves the fickle and corrupt mulatto, Obama.
