Most of what you just said has nothing to do about morality. But, I'm not going to argue with you because I know I would be wasting my time. Believe things are getting better. I will believe what Scripture actually says.

Believe things are getting better. I will believe what Scripture actually says.

13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.

13:28 Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.

13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.

13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

There are consequences to the commitment to failure. There are consequences attendant upon the commitment to impotence. Preach failure as gospel and you may find that, according unto your faith, it has been unto you. 80% of the kids raised in generic evangelical homes leave the faith within five years of leaving home. After all, their parents already told them that Christianity is a faith without a future this side of eternity. And who wants to belong to the losing team?

By way of contrast, 90+% of the kids raised in hard-core Calvinist homes, and in home-schooling families (there is significant overlap between these two groups) embrace, cherish, and live the faith they were raised in.

Morality?

What was going on in Corinth? Ever heard of Caligula?


Morals, good or bad, don't matter a bit. Christ saves, not the political/moral political activism that we see much of the Evangelical engaged in.
