    True. Interesting verses.

    God’s Anger at Sin

    Roman 1:24 - 32

    24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

    28
    Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.


    2 Timothy 3 New International Version (NIV)

    3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

    6
    They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

    Unless we get a handle on the open border issue, this is what we can expect to soon come to a church near you and me.

    Did you know about it? Have you seen a parade of self-serving politicians, and media-types, on TV expressing disgust with those murders? Have you?

    Re: More persecution of Christians

    Not that it matters, really, but it was 120 Christians in Nigeria and another 40 in Chad, in the past few weeks. Nigeria has been the hardest hit. In Chad, a mostly mooslim country, there are few remaining Christians. The organization Open Doors reported recently that about 700 Christians in Chad have been murdered by moooslims since 2015. That same organization published an article documenting that since 1900, over a century, 12.7 million Christians have been murdered because they were Christian. Some of those murders were committed by non-mooslim sources, such as Stalin's evil Soviets, and others, but the vast majority of the murders were committed by moooslims.

    Re: More persecution of Christians

    130 Christians murdered in Sri Lanka today, while they peacefully worshipped in church on Easter Sunday. So far, no group has claimed credit for the attack. But, we can certainly take a guess.

    Official death toll is at 138 and expected to rise. Over 400 wounded. NPJ a radical moooslim group is the most likely culprit. The manner of attack was suicide bombers.

    This kind of thing will never stop until we make our minds up to put an end to it. Appeasement doesn't work with anyone, especially people like the barbarians that did this.

    I just don't know how you stop barbarian suicide bombers, especially when they think they are rewarded in the afterlife for killing "infidels".

    Appeasement? The West has been at war with Muslims for decades in the region. I am not sure you know what “appeasement” means.

    To appease is to pacify or placate (someone) by acceding to their demands.

    You're the one that struggles to know your ass from third base G-man.

    And an example of appeasing the “barbarians”?

    Re: More persecution of Christians

    Goosey is just pure evil, ignore him.

    Let's see, someone claims the west has been at war with islam for decades...of course! ALL mooslims were living 100% peacefully, never having launched any kind of terrorist attacks, never having invaded Israel, and then one day, decades ago, the west had to decide between having a BBQ or starting a war with these peaceful mooslims. We flipped a coin...the mooslims won (or lost). And without provocation, the west attacked!

    But...Sri Lanka is hardly "the west" so I'm not sure how those poor folks figure in this and deserved to be murdered today.
