The most astute observation and comment on this thread! As freeper SAM comments,
most people are embarrassed and ashamed of their sins, habitual sins. don’t try to demand others tell them they are wonderful because of their sin. they don’t try to define themselves by their sinm. don’t spend their lives’demanding others pat them on the back for being such a good sinner. don’t demand laws protecting them because of their sins.
Shame has turned to pride, albeit through the legal system. Yet, subconsciously, as you well noted, they recognize their uncleanliness. No doubt the same is true for those who participate in abortions.
Homosexuality today is the clear case for why the legal system must be rooted (as it has been) in Judeo-Christian underpinnings. Otherwise if/as society decays, it’s natural inclination, perversion and insanity are legalized, and remedies and corrections to said insanity and perversion, are outlawed and made punishable.
See the liberals will say “don’t push your morality on me!” while having no problems pushing their low-bar secular morality that punishes you for objecting, onto you.
Ultimately all law is based in morality. It’s a question of whose morality do you want it to be? A morality based on God’s Word, or a morality based on whatever is most popular with whoever’s currently in power at the moment, and whatever the current emergency and crisis is.
14Then he called to the crowd again and told them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand! 15Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It’s what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean. 16If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen!”
17When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples began asking him about the parable. 18He asked them, “Are you so ignorant? Don’t you know that nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean? 19Because it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and then into the sewer, thereby expelling all foods.” 20Then he continued, “It’s what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean, 21because it’s from within, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come, as well as sexual immorality, stealing, murder, 22adultery, greed, wickedness, cheating, shameless lust, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. 23All these things come from inside and make a person unclean.”
