Is it time to 'abolish the family'? [Daniel 7]
World Net Daily ^ | 5/29/2015 | MATT BARBER

Posted on 05/30/2015 4:02:07 PM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

I appreciate it when leftists get off script, dispatch with the propagandist talking points and say what’s really on their minds. “Progressives” hate natural marriage.

And they hate the natural family. But they do so love big government. In an article for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation titled, “Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?” Joe Gelonesi, host of “The Philosopher’s Zone” radio program, calls the natural mom-dad biological family a “weathered institution ever more in need of a rationale for existing.”

While he admits that it may be premature to “abolish the family and put children into care of the state,” Gelonesi suggests, nonetheless, that such government action might be the most “straightforward answer” – if only “from a purely instrumental position.”

But what’s the question? And why such hostility toward the natural family? Buzzz! What is “social justice” for $1,000, Alex? In the context of marriage, family and economics, the left’s upside-down brand of social justice, of “equality,” requires that, in order to level the playing field, we must bulldoze the playing field altogether – we must take from the haves, give to the have nots and dumb-down everything else to the lowest common denominator. If one person is suffering, then “equality” demands that all must suffer. The solution to inequality borne by those in the Third World, for instance, is to make the whole world the Third World (see Barack Hussein Obama, circa 2008-2016)...

In a moment of shocking candor, the progressive radio host and syndicated writer exposes the left's plan for our children in the near future. The Bible says that a leader will rise to power in the Western World that will espouse some of the same sentiments (perhaps not initially, but once he secures power). He will seek to change the laws and conventions that the Western Judeo-Christian world have always espoused. He will make war against all those who object (Christians and faithful Jews)...

Daniel 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up , and before whom three fell ; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21 I beheld * , and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; ... 23 Thus he said , The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down , and break it in pieces . 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise : and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [3.5 years].

Just based upon his performance on the FR Facebook page, I conclude that Barber is a queer.

I usually like Matt Barber’s columns, but why should he give attention to the vile spew of some discredited nutjob?

This isn’t even new nutjobbery.
Commies have been backing this idea for over 100 years.

He is only exposing how the left thinks. This is very significant because he is not the only one. His views are becoming mainstream in this Brave New World we live in (as the article states).

Will Governor Jindal veto this bill if it is to pass?

38-0 one absent.

Oh, it just terminates parental authority by law when you get divorced. For both parties.

The children will be put into guardianship (tutorship)

Ephesians 5: 22-33 tells us why the radical left and their father of lies, Satan, wants to destroy the family and marriage.

"22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

Marriage between a man and woman is God's representation on earth of His love for us (his bride).

Homosexuality and "gay marriage" is a direct demonic attack upon this foundation.

The very symbol that homosexual has adopted (the rainbow), is an attempt to mock God, who gave that symbol as a sign of His covenant with man.

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

Genesis 9:13

This will not end well.

God will not be mocked. Terrible, terrible times are coming. I believe it will be God's wrath, and most people have no idea how swift and severe it will be.

Sadly, many conservatives have assisted the progressives in destroying the family by promoting no-fault divorce:
In the 1925 Soviet conference to draft the Family Law of 1926, people debated whether marriages should even be registered. Nikolai Krylenko, a chief architect of the Soviet law of marriage and leading theorist of "socialist legality" in the 1920s and 1930s, described the purpose of divorce without restraint as a step toward the ultimate goal of the abolition of marriage, thereby establishing the socialist transformation of society.
Of course, if living together and not registration is taken as the test of a married state, polygamy and polyandry may exist; but the State can't put up any barriers against this. Free love is the ultimate aim of a socialist State; in that State marriage will be free from any kind of obligation, including economic, and will turn into an absolutely free union of two beings. Meanwhile, though our aim is the free union, we must recognize that marriage involves certain economic responsibilities, and that's why the law takes upon itself the defense of the weaker partner, from the economic standpoint.[3]

That’s been the communist/socialist goal all along: abolish the family and the church and replace both with the state.

Plato wanted to abolish the family more than 2000 years ago. it’s a common idea for those who think they are smarter than everyone else and know how the world SHOULD work.

At the deepest level, the family is an image of the Trinity. At bottom, progressivism is a spiritual disorder.
