...do they?. The answer is a resounding "NO!
Not quite accurate.
Incest can be and often is statutory rape, forcible rape, pedophilia and/or ephebophilia.
It just isn't necessarily any of those things.
Our culture never will recognize God as the authority—furthermore, it never has.
Believers are “dotted across the landscape” as CS Lewis points out, they aren’t’ the majority of humans. Believers are several and few, but just like a single candle in a dark room light up the depravity and depravity does not like light.
As it says in the article, once upon a time, homosexuals would defend their practices, while expressing outrage at certain other practices (such as incest).
Today, that seems to rarely happen. The homosexuals, polygamists, pedophiles, zoophiles, and incest champions have all figured out that normalizing deviance helps all of them — so all the perversions are now pushed by all the deviants.
It’s a significant, and depressing, change.
Millstone. Neck.
The Sex Positive Agenda (as espoused by Kinsey, Reich, and “Feminists”) seeks to end ALL moral judgments over sexual pairings of any kind (regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s)).
They see orgasm as a birthright to be enjoyed (and shared) at any age.
They have been waging this war for over 50 years (partly advanced by Planned Parenthood’s sex ed branch known as SIECUS).
Academia and the medical profession push this.
It is decidedly anti-abstinence and if you dig down into the writings of some of its proponents, you’ll find it is deeply anti-Christian because of “moral objections” to certain sexual activities. Some have even branded Christianity “sex negative” (which is a falsehood).
Self-indulgence and they lost their bibles.
To implement socialism, the culture has to be destroyed. The Totalitarian State is then substituted for God, and “social justice” replaces all Western traditional values, ethics and morality. The reason LEFTISTS like Islam is that it is their natural ally in destroying the Western Tradition. However, the LEFT is being shortsighted if they think Islam is ultimately compatible with Marxism. Heads will roll—literally.
“I agree that people can act morally apart from God’s standard.”
Romans 2:17-29 covers the moral man; the Jew would have been considered a “moral” person because of a basic adnerence to the Law [in contrast to the Gentiles, few Jews would have been sexually immoral, few would steal or murder, etc., for example]—but God (through Paul) goes on to show that the Law condemns every man, including the Jew (the moral man) because no man (generic) can keep the Law
perfectly...both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles) are all under sin, Romans 3:9.
God says in Romans 3:19-20:
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accoutable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
God says in Romans 3:21-25 how man (generic, meaning male and female) may be justified:
But Now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation (satisfaction of God’s holiness, righteousness, and justice) in His blood through faith.
The scary part for them is that there is no fear of God and even though they deny Him they can never remove the deep, inner guilt by illogic reasonings and attempted behavioral justifications.
To wind up in eternal hell is the worst nightmare of reality that exists. Fear God and accept the Saviour Jesus Christ as the free gift of salvation. Hell is overrated and too damn hot.
Suppose the two year old daughter of one of these sickos promoting pedophelia, homosexuality, etc., was sexually violated by a complete stranger. What would their reaction be? Oh, that is normal, natural and healthy? If they would say that, they probably ought to be locked up permanently because they are a danger to us all. But I would wager their natural reaction would be of absolute rage at what happened to her. Intellectual dishonesty over the “pedophilia is ok” gang is one reason their position is garbage.
The other is the long term damage to children who suffer this kind of abuse. Children who suffer this abuse carry it with them all their lives and it often makes it very difficult for them to have healthy relationships as adults.
I constantly am nauseated at the pervasive presence of evil and depravity in our world today.
This is the reason for Obama's incessant divisions. Black against white, LGBT against heterosexuals, everyone against Christians and Jews...
This is the reason you lose when your argue the the Bible and God with the world..then don't care then think is just an opinion.
You need to argue nature truth logic and reason and you.need know there truth and God are one and the same..
People sell God short went this say God is love..because first God is living truth..it the love that saves us because we fall short of truth
We know intuitively when some-thing’s not natural because its not truth..the people just have to connect the dots the truth is what God is
That is, to say, we haven't changed one iota. The very same deviance that exists today and tomorrow were ALWAYS existent in the human race. Always.
We live longer, have better health and education and have more money perhaps, but we are not ONE IOTA happier, sadder, smarter, dumber, nicer or meaner than our ancestors of the cave.
Our human nature remains UNCHANGED.
>>Among the countries that do not punish consensual adult incest are Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Turkey, Russia, India, Israel, China, Sweden, Brazil and Japan. <<
I can understand China because of the imbalance of men and women. What’s going on in Israel? Have they tossed the Ten Commandments out the door?
You see it all of the time right here on F.R, some people seem to be against homosexuality only because it might lead to polygamy or incest.
Pingworthy but I’m away from my M/A and H/A pinglist right now.
Which should be a felony. Why don't states make that a felony?
