When I was a child, compromising with God’s inherent word had already begun in the 1960s.
As an Episcopalian child in Sunday school sometime in the early 60s we watched a cartoon from the projector which was probably made in the late 1950s when the Bible was still respected as God’s word even within the Church of England.
I can still remember vividly how my heart jumped for joy when the animated cartoon we were watching showed Christ hanging on the cross, and spoke of how we could personally be reconnected with God, because of the atonement from sin which Christ had accomplished on our behalves at Calvary!
But no sooner than that small clip had finished playing, the projector was immediately shut off, with the Priest exclaiming that we “couldn’t really know God” by what Christ had done, but rather just emulate his example to be a good Christian… My young heart sank at that moment, but I often wonder if the Lord had started a good work in me at that point, because of my belief as a child to hunger and thirst for a relationship with God; even despite the denial of the power of the Gospel by a “so-called” Episcopalian Minister?
I firmly believe that the destruction of the family order, as it was ordained by God, is the enemy’s prime objective. So to compromise, modify or accommodate this order – for the sake of people’s feelings or for political activism and money, is heretical in nature.
Back then, the Episcopal Priests were still all men, as it was still the men who represented the family, and the corporate joining together of those families in worship – and rightly so. Yet the Woman’s movement was gearing up in full swing – against the man, and even heterosexual marriage was to be challenged in rebellion to God, and his appointed authority level of man being the head of the household, and accountable to God for the proper instructions and actions he had taken.
These are some of the absolutes of the Bible which have been compromised for the sake of so-called Civil Rights within our culture, which had taken root by the woman being added to the industrialized workforce during the second world war.
Let me say that the bedrock of our society used to be the Church, made up of many like-minded families. Yet, over time Satan always attacks the family, normally using rebellion against God in the form of dividing the household (a house divided cannot stand), and then the tip of the spear is usually sexual immorality, deviancy from natural desires to perverse desires, and nowadays, bodily modification is performed due to an increase of medical knowledge and technology.
It is now to the point to which Bible fundamentals are hated, and the heart within many has been given over to an alternative lifestyle that is normally based upon hedonism. Even in the 1980s, the United Nations had already added alternative sexual identities to male and female, to be politically activated upon the readying of society; for what is now referred to as “pronouns”.
All of this reflects the Satanic New World Order the Bible tells about at the end of time, as well as the Mother of Harlots and her daughters – the False Church. Many laugh today at what once was considered sacred, due to the push of humanism (a religion) and often called cultural Marxism coupled with Darwinism: which I call the Science God. And with this comes the worship of the created Creature and the earth, rather than the Creator, also prophesied in the scriptures.
We have entered a point now in Western Society unlike like ever before, in which the Bride of Christ will be despised, instead of honored. And the haters of her will accuse the lovers of God to be labeled as haters. This progressive “group think” is really no different from in the days of Roman persecution of the Christian faith, yet the acceptance of all others.
The world’s wickedness and deception are akin to the times of the “Days of Noah” when God was fed up with the sinfulness of humanity, except for Noah and his family who were made safe within the Ark. The Lord flooded the earth then, and then put a rainbow in the sky as a sign, promising he will never again flood the earth for destruction. And he won’t, but the next form of destruction will be by fire, for all those who did not repent, and grasp the provision for sin the Lord provided (out of love for humanity) in his son Jesus Christ suffering on the cross.
A name now which is suppressed in the marketplace of ideas – or at least has been perverted to be a pass for all sinfulness, even without repentance!
