It’s not like folks are teasing and testing the possibility of the slippery slope….they are already on it and careening toward the bottom. I was struck the other day by the references to new governor of Oregon Kate Brown being the ‘nation's first openly bisexual chief executive’. What? And this wasn’t immediately jumped on and denounced by disgusted people around not only the State but around the Country? So are the great unwashed willingly accepting that what she does is a perfectly normal state of being? Well of course they are….. after all, once they’ve accepted the concept of homosexuality as being an alternative/normal state of being, why shouldn’t they accept something that is some combination of hero/homo? Then why not accept pedophilia as a normal state of being? Or incest? Or multiple wives, husbands and concubines. If anything can be classified as normal just because that seems to be what turns somebody on sexually and one is not allowed to ‘discriminate’ because that is ‘who they are’, then that means that everything is normal under the umbrella of “who are you to say what is normal and what is not?”
Folks should all read Jeremiah chapter 2 to see what God thinks of this state of affairs of which this is just a sampling. In verse 22 there is the use of the word ‘iniquity’ as opposed to using the word ‘sin’. As has often explained to me, there is a difference….. Iniquity is the root, sin is the fruit. Jeremiah 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? 22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.
The way I learned it was that sin = hamartia, “missing the mark.” Wrong but you don’t even it’s wrong, like marrying your mother.
Iniquity is wrong that you know is wrong but do it anyway.
