NYT referenced the article at http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/bible-verse-homosexuals-heard-house-gop-prior-vote which won’t let me C&P but says a GA rep read from the Romans passage and from Rev 22:15-16. The site is “Roll Call” but the article refers to itself as CQ; is this an electronic form of Congressional Quarterly? If so, this is a travesty.
The Revelation passage says that whoever adds to the prophecy will receive the plagues of Revelation and whoever deletes from the prophecy will lose salvation. It seems clear to me that the warning regards whether we are willing to listen to God, or whether we ignore Him and go our own way. The depraved mind that is hostile to God is what is dangerous, and those who accept that mindset of depravity bring God’s judgment on themselves and on their society.
The GA rep did not mention any legislation, but simply gave the warning from Scripture regarding the depravity that comes from naming oneself God.
Greed, gossip, murder... can there be a better description of Washington, DC? This is about a LOT more than just homosexual behavior.
At this point the only thing that can save this nation is divine intervention, and a people that chooses depravity over truth cannot receive that intervention; they will reject it. What we need to be saved from is our own depravity as a society - depravity that keeps people from being able to see the truth right in front of their faces. The Soviets called it “demoralization”. The communist plan for how to destroy this nation, which was read into the Congressional Record way back in the early 60’s IIRC, was to push the things that would demoralize - remove the morality. Abortion, promiscuity, drugs, atheism, homosexuality, divorce... anything that would break individuals and their families was the means for breaking this nation. And it has been very, very effective. When Christians stop being salty and adopt the same depravity as the meat, they stop preserving the meat and it’s just a matter of time before the meat is rotten and putrid. The communists understood that well, and that is why they resolved to first make America a depraved people. After that, we would be easy to destroy.
And the Romans, if they were around to tell us what they learned, would warn us too. It’s the story of every civilization that has fallen. They always fall from their own rottenness.
The abysmal Congressional approval ratings, the landslide elections... those are warnings to Congress but they refuse to listen. They’ve heard God’s Word and in response they have accused God of evil. Unless there is some drastic change, this nation cannot stand. The GA rep is right to be concerned. Neither “CQ” (whatever that means) nor the NYT is capable of being truly concerned for the survival of this nation; they are way beyond that, and they are on track to take the rest of the nation over the cliff with them.
And those would be those same people that don't think Fuddy was killed
by Ninja Frogmen and the Obama was born on Mars to Barbara Stanwyck and Will Smith.
Or have y'all got some new parents for him this week?
