Why Does TIME Want to Drop the Hammer on Churches? (Tolerance is dead)

What does this show us? Three things, I think.

It shows us that tolerance is over. I’m not breaking new ground here–but this must be said. Tolerance is dead. Oppenheimer’s piece ran all of two days after the SCOTUS decision on same-sex marriage. He wants to crush those who dare to stand against the fullest possible acceptance of what Harvard professor Harvey Mansfield has called “samesexuality.” Sexuality liberated from any constraints is now a full-blown worldview. This is paganism, 21st-century version. The body is all; sex is all.

The hippies now wear steel-toed boots. The earlier “free love” movement was all about doing what you want–live and let live. Today’s version of this pagan impulse is militaristic–live and you better approve. There’s a menace, a fury, in this cultural momentum. There will be no tolerance. There will be no dissent. Churches and organizations that stand bravely against the rushing tide of the late stages of the sexual revolution will be crushed.

The undesirables must be identified and removed. They stink and are a blot on our progressive society. But, let’s do it legally. Then in the name of law, we can mark them, shut down their businesses, force them out of work, pack them up and ship them off to the camps so we don’t have to see them, and where work will set them free.

They don’t exist. What happens to them in the camps is irrelevant; as long as our progressive brave new world does not have to see them or acknowledge their existence or non-existence.

Because they hate God and His law.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

TIME is just doing the work assigned to it- being a propaganda outlet for its masters.

Commies show who their true Master is by going after Churches.

They are puppets of the devil—plain & simple.

We’ll route them in the end after a bloody struggle.

Grim diagnosis, but maybe I can finally meet some FReepers in the camps!

Not too long ago, they ran an article on how women could have it all by not having children.

As soon as the wall came down, the demonic horde came flooding in,

Its happening in multiple areas at once now,

Persecution is going to dramatically increase,

We need to get firmly standing upon our Rock,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:12-13

It wasn’t even about “gay marriage” which by actual worldwide statistics is seldom used in comparison with the populations that might actually be eligible for it. It was about setting up for a spiritual battle in the USA, which was among the last of worldwide gospel holdouts. This is just a proxy cause for fighting the church.

And so, the devil has managed to bring on the battle. Well, there is no excuse for him finding the church to be a pushover.

“It was about setting up for a spiritual battle in the USA, which was among the last of worldwide gospel holdouts”

Yes, you have it exactly correct,

This is a war in the spirit, and there is nowhere left to stand for believers on this earth, so we are now left with God and his comforter and this physical world and their god Satan are going to push for outright ownership of it with their evil men like obama and the UN, but the court in Daniel Chapter 7 and also shown to us in Revelation Chapters 4-7 is going to weigh in, (Jubilee and judgement is given to the Saints)

When will this court sit? I believe as soon as they divide the restoration of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (from 1967) and I don’t know if its coming next month, next year or not for another 100 years, but it is coming and the end will come with it,

Also (I believe) we’re witnessing Isaiah Chapter 5 being fulfilled over the Earth,

It was a coup of smoke and mirrors, a wheel that squeaked so long and loud that finally the answer was “Here’s your personal grease, now shut up.” Except, of course, now they won’t shut up.

There were more logical answers if this were really a valid issue. One might be the recognition (by law, not by judicial fiat) of “household” entities, that would be blind to who was living there, as long as at least one member was a competent adult overseeing it. As it is, these buggerers can get recognized, but not me and a buddy living chastely... that is utterly crazy.

Leftists never promised tolerance, they only demanded it from their intended victims

It was a coup of the cats who insisted it was unfair not to be called dogs.
