No, it’s getting less acceptable all the time!

Of course we see that Jesus says it will become more and more like the time of Noah and the world-wide flood. Jesus says that judgement will come once again, because of this deteriorating condition.

Get ready for the return of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel!

THOUSANDS of years of universal belief (not just under “Christianity” but around the globe for hundreds of generations homosexuality and abortion were taboo).

All of this post-68 Red Revolution crap CAN be beat down.

50 million dead babies in America alone from abortion.

Widespread birth control in the West has seen birth rates plummet (including problems with fertility when the couples DO decide to procreate).

We are told the “solution” is to import more foreigners (who are alien to the concepts of the native government).

This has been a socialist plot to smash the establishment and kill of the natives (through self-administered genocide).

The “new morality” is immoral. By who’s standard is this “moral”?

B+. An unexpectedly thoughtful treatment of the subject from a secular mainstream publication.

“if you keep My word, then you are truly My disciples . And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (Jesus, John 8:31)

“Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Jesus, Revelation 2:10)

As the old hymn says, “I’m but a stranger here. Heaven is my home.”

Jonathan Rauch argued that if the evangelical church is to last long into the twenty-first century, certain parts of its moral codes have to change

Then it ceases to be a Christian church and instead becomes a social club.

This is based on a popular conception about evangelicals: that they’re toxic

Which explains in part why Christians will again face mass persecution. The left is laying the groundwork for it.

Let’s list the fallacies this idiotic article has:

-doesn’t recognize that the Hobby Lobby case is a fiscally conservative decision rather than one dealing with access to abortion. If you can’t pay for something, tough s***. Don’t come crying to taxpayers.
-People should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Go patronize a cake store which supports sodomites instead of forcing a Christian one to comply. If you can’t find one, tough s***, you don’t have a legally sanctioned right to a Sodomite cake.
-Compares Christian morality, synonymous with correctness, to the morality of the death cult Islam.
-believes that Christians should go along with society rather than try to make it become Christian, a viewpoint which would lead to the death of Christianity and has led to the deaths of millions of unborn babies.

This is why the phrase “God Bless America” is tragically comical. God DID bless America during its founding, but this country went badly astray, turning away from that blessing.

Some say we need Divine intervention... that’s what I believe is occurring now, but I suspect God is highly pissed at this country, so that intervention may not be what we prefer.

God gave us all free will.

People are free to ignore and resist evangelicals, or any religion.

The Christian movement has had its ups and downs for centuries.

If you are an evangelical, you should be impervious to all this as it is normal. The task is the same as ever.

In The Atlantic, Jonathan Rauch argued that if the evangelical church is to last long into the twenty-first century, certain parts of its moral codes have to change—American society is progressing, and if the church won't progress with her, then it will be abandoned.

Jonathan Rauch has it backwards. IF American society is to last long into the twenty-first century, the Evangelical church will need to flourish. If not, America will be abandoned - as fallen Empires of yore.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Nope. Not in the least. Not even close. And it will only get worse. We are a dwindling few that hold the torch.

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson that said that the country would survive only as long as it remained educated. Hence, the current United States Department of (Dis)Education.

People who disagree with same-sex marriage and birth-control use have been met with accusations of bigotry.

Outside of Catholics, who disagrees with birth control (the non-abortifacient kind)?

Though a small, statistically insignificant minority, has used the media, education and the power of government to bully sexual perversion into the mainstream of normalcy, there are still a majority of people who either instinctively or intellectually know it is wrong, even if they are afraid to admit it.

The sexual perversion agenda has had a victory, but now we are going to get a look at what that agenda is all about. The pedophilia aspect of homosexuality will become more exposed, as will the filth aspect of sexual perversion, such as sadomasochism, brutality, and bestiality. Something other than the normal, harmless gay image is going to emerge to assault sensibilities and culture. The false image pushed by the sexual perversion agenda is going to get pushed aside by the desire to let the filth flag fly.

Our children are going to pay the price for our foolishness. Society has pushed out Christian, biblical values for a bag of sub-cultural crap.

It never has been and coming up with a one for one "Christian" version of everything society embraces is an example of how a great many folks who claim to be Evangelicals have themselves been chipping away at morality for a good while.

 "Evangelical morality" is shadow of what it was just twenty years ago and still not "acceptable".

JMHO

Speaking as an Evangelical Protestant myself, I’m more concerned if my morality is acceptable to God.
