A lot of professing Christians are upset by the Supreme Court ruling.\u00a0 I wonder how long that will last.\u00a0 Usually, the initial outrage, such as it is, lasts only a few days.\u00a0 Then everyone goes back to the same routine as if nothing is wrong.\u00a0 The people who want to change this nation into a godless nation where hedonism is the norm are well aware of that paradigm.\u00a0 Thus, there are no consequences for their actions.\u00a0 They will simply endure a few days of bluster and then move on to the next step in the degradation.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you what\u2019s going to happen\u2014not because I\u2019m a prophet, but because I\u2019ve seen it before repeatedly.\u00a0 There will be a number of leading Christians, denominational leaders, pastors, and of course the ever ready \u201ctalking heads\u201d from the Christian psychological community, who will come out openly in favor of gay marriage.\u00a0 \u201cThe ship has already left the harbor,\u201d they will glibly proclaim. \u00a0Then they will set plans in motion, already concocted, to reach out to the gay community.<\/p>\n
This is a defining moment in Christianity.\u00a0 We will now see who is real, and who has been faking their calling and commitment to God.\u00a0 The courage of the redeemed will be sharply contrasted by the compromise of the damned.<\/p>\n
Something else will occur that will strike a harsh blow to religious freedom.\u00a0 A number of Christians on social media will be censored.\u00a0 They will lose their Facebook Accounts, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etcetera.\u00a0 Free speech was only secure when we elected people who cherished that freedom.\u00a0 We now have people in control that despise our freedom.\u00a0 They will soon be coming for our liberty and pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n
Last, we are going to experience an unprecedented oppression on Churches and ministers.\u00a0 Texas just passed the \u201cPastor Protection Act.\u201d\u00a0 The SCOTUS decision shoots that down.\u00a0 The 1st<\/sup> lawsuit filed against it will be successful.\u00a0 Christians will be forced to take a stand or compromise to keep their jobs, maintain their present standard of living, and to avoid lawsuits and heavy penalties forced on their businesses and churches.<\/p>\n The saddest thing about the SCOTUS decision is that there were not enough true Christians in this nation to hold back the darkness.\u00a0 Here are the stats, read them and weep:<\/p>\n 42% of Protestants, 50% Roman Catholics, 69% Jewish, 21% Mormon, voted for Obama.\u00a0 Also, 95% Black Protestants, and 75%Hispanic Catholics voted for him.\u00a0 When half of professing Christians, who were fully aware of the disaster of his first term, still voted for Obama, it was clear that this nation would not survive the diabolical onslaught of wickedness that was sure to follow.<\/p>\n So why is everyone surprised?\u00a0 Why are people lamenting and moaning the woes that have arrived and the woes certain to follow?\u00a0 We live in the end times of Sodom and Gomorrah, are witnessing unchecked spiritual wickedness in high places, i.e., denominational leadership, and there is no weeping between the \u201cporch and the altar.\u201d<\/p>\n Are we not well into the final great deception and apostasy?\u00a0 And yet, intercessory prayer is faintly heard in heaven.\u00a0 From the pulpits there is mainly silence.\u00a0 Further, professing Christians, including ministers, are attacking everyone who dares to present truth against the deluge of heresy.\u00a0 Instead of coming to their defense, other professing Christians ignorantly post quotes on their Facebook pages by the very heretics that are destroying Christianity. What a display of ignorance, and what a shame!<\/p>\n Now we see the fruit of compromise, and we moan.\u00a0 But we do not groan in prayer for our sins, spiritual anemia, and the sins of our nation.<\/p>\n The line has been drawn in the sand.\u00a0 A significant percentage of the populace intends to return to Sodom.\u00a0 However, their leaders are not content with regaining Sodom lost.\u00a0 They are intent on committing every sin for which God harshly judged Israel and the nations about them.<\/p>\n We American Christians are a haughty lot.\u00a0 We think that we will not face judgement.\u00a0 However, the 50% who facilitated this great evil by their votes will face judgement.\u00a0 So also will those who gave it unopposed access by failure to do anything whatsoever to repel the darkness.<\/p>\n \u201cFor if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.\u00a0Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness,\u00a0if you continue in\u00a0His<\/em>\u00a0goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.\u201d – Romans 11:21-22<\/p>\n People had better get prepared.\u00a0 Check your spiritual pulse this coming week.\u00a0 If you are no longer outraged, you\u2019re acquiescent. \u00a0Is there any difference between acquiescent and agreed?\u00a0 How long will it take some professing Christians to be agreed?\u00a0 I say by Monday\u2014a mere three days\u2014\u201cprotest\u201d will have disappeared from Protestant.\u00a0 That leaves \u201cant.\u201d\u00a0 Spiritual ants\u2026busy; 6 decades of making small mounds, moving about scraps, and now easily subdued by a shoe. \u00a0Good job, all ye that sleep in Zion!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lot of professing Christians are upset by the Supreme Court ruling.\u00a0 I wonder how long that will last.\u00a0 Usually, the initial outrage, such as it is, lasts only a few days.\u00a0 Then everyone goes back to the same routine as if nothing is wrong.\u00a0 The people who want to change this nation into a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","post-preview"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paIm2N-dH","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=849"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":850,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849\/revisions\/850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
