True or not, there are still countless reasons, starting with Pope Francis, to leave the Church. Given the prominent role the Church is playing in advancing the globalist/marxist agenda, I simply cannot in good conscience continue to be a member and support them financially.
It is right and good to be deeply concerned that cancers in the faith can go long undetected until they up and smack you between the eyes one day.
But some cancers, and these are really the worst sorts of all of them for reasons I’ll outline momentarily, fester in full view, protected by people not being aware that they are what constitute, as Isaiah said, being men of unclean lips among a people of unclean lips.
Tolerance for sins that are somehow deemed tolerable despite Scripture is one of these, and here we might consider, indeed should consider, things so many have basically given up on such as the expectation for chaste and respectful sexual mores, that these should for men or women be considered absolute apart from marriage and consequently in marriage, and only in said estate, is there the privilege of sexual exploits.
Moreover, pursuant to that, we should reflect that one can be in serial marriage an adulterer.
Naturally anything to do with homosexuality is right out, something beyond the pale, and yet something that can only come on a people once they have departed from knowing God enough that many no longer struggle with those previous things I just mentioned.
Recall what Isaiah was faced with: the manifest Holiness of The Lord (”Holy, Holy, Holy”) to see how being hit over the head with that made him to see that things he thought nothing of we really far from what they should be.
If you pay attention to attitudes about how good/nice/tolerant people think that they are these days you would almost expect, that if you asked them about it they would imagine if they were in Isaiah’s sandals they’d come away smelling like a rose, perchance with a slap on the back for being so groovy.
But ours is many ways a society of unclean “what have you got?”, one that eagerly looks for new uncleanness to debauch in.
But aside for sexual morality, which is bad, I believe there is a greater cancer still festering in plain sight, that this must come before even that, and one of its expressions is in this all roads lead to god crap, in even the mere idea that the false has equal value with the true. I recently came across this video: http://youtu.be/UFIF2HMcOYs
... which deals with how in the name of tolerance and respect those who should know better allow heathens to go around proverbially planting flags on our hills as if their moon god were God.
People need to wake up to these things, they are NOT trivial!
A hidden cancer, on coming to light (I’m finally getting around to this) can be easily abhorred and punished. A visible disease alone is the sort of thing that, through steady compromise and abandonment of righteousness, can by contrast lead to someone compromising themselves into a reprobate heart with scarcely a whimper of awareness.
Think on this: how many running around now championing all things homosexual and gender confused (not just lewdness and licentiousness) even to the point of hating righteousness ... if the they they once were twenty years ago could suddenly see the they whom they have become ... how many would to run in fear and trembling back to the cross?
