Normalizing Sin Has Consequences
By Mark Landsbaum - May 22, 2019
Have I mentioned the effect of normalizing sin?
A recent column by Lloyd Marcus makes the point.
Excerpt:
“Decades of turning a blind eye and passivity has gotten us into this mess. We are on the verge of government forcing Christians to betray Christ; kneel in worship to the false god of LGBTQ. Foolishly, Christians still believe if we are simply nice enough and ignore biblical teachings, LGBTQ enforcers will end their vitriolic quest to ban Christianity….

“… In 1987, homosexual activist Steve Warren published a chilling article titled, ‘Warning to the homophobes.’ “Henceforth, homosexuality will be spoken of in your churches and synagogues as an ‘honorable estate.’ “You can either let us marry people of the same sex, or better yet abolish marriage altogether. You will be expected to offer ceremonies that bless our sexual arrangements…
“…If any of the older people in your midst object, you will deal with them sternly, making certain they renounce their ugly and ignorant homophobia or suffer public humiliation.
“… Finally, we will in all likelihood, want to expunge a number of passages from your Scriptures and rewrite others, eliminating preferential treatment of marriage and using words that will allow for homosexual interpretation of passages describing biblical lovers such as Ruth and Boaz or Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. “Warning: If all these things do not come to pass quickly, we will subject Orthodox Jews and Christians to the most sustained hatred and vilification in recent memory.”
That homosexual activist’s threat of 32 years ago has played out just as he said it would. We were told it was coming, did nothing, indeed gave it a helping hand.
Mistaking tolerance of sin for love, the church has been complicit in this rapid degrading of the culture. Consequently, the church will pay the greatest price.
Thirty two years ago you might have argued that this would be impossible. What do you say today?
The House has overwhelmingly approved the so-called Equality Act. This is an ominous development.
Will your senators have the courage to stop it?
If not, will your president have the strength of character to veto it entering a campaign re-election year?
If neither, will you have the courage to refuse to comply?
Did I mention there are consequences for normalizing sin?
