Honesty is preferred to a friendly lie

The only one worth fearing in this universe is God
If you put your trust in Yashua then you truly have nothing to fear
Fear not them who can destroy the body, but fear Him that can destroy both body and soul in hell.
If you are not in right standing with God (still stained with sin) you do right to fear
Fear is the beginning of wisdom
If you are in right standing with God (repented of your sin and received Yashua’s free gift) you have nothing to be afraid of…

As we move further into the ‘end times’, we will continue to see increased persecution of true Biblical Christianity.

Before Christianity in general is persecuted, the popular ‘christian church’ will continue to elbow out and eventually come to openly persecute Bible believing Christians.

We see that one of the signs that a people have rejected God is that God gives them over to be slaves of their own lusts (Rom 1:24).  The most evident sign of this is their acceptance and even promotion of homosexuality (Rom 1:32).  The abomination of homosexuality (or to use the Biblical term: sodomy) will become the “litmus test” the popular ‘church’ will use to identify all those ‘evil’ fundamentalists.

The pagan roman catholic church is now considering changing its public stance on homosexuality and launched a study into ‘civil unions’.  This of course is no big leap for an organization whose clergy is already made up of homosexuals and pedophiles.

We see this happening with so many of the protestant (reformed catholic) denominations normalizing the abomination of sodomy and even endorsing it by appointing sodomites to clergy positions and performing so-called ‘marriage’ ceremonies.

We see this happening within the non-denominational and ‘Charismatic’ circles as their new age practices “go to seed” and their “new revelations” seek to embrace everyone with their gospel of  happiness and prosperity without a need for sin, repentance, and changing lifestyle preferences.

Also we see the current pope reaching out to the reformed catholic denominations, the non-denominational, as well as all other religions to join together in one big “it-doesn’t-matter-what-you-believe-as-long-as-you-kiss-the-ring-of-the-pontiff” tent.

Eventually, what few churches that do not advocate for homosexuality will loose their tax-exempt status for promoting hate speech and then eventually forbidden to operate publicly.

Anyone who stands on scripture and does not go along with the predominant view of the ‘church’ is already seen as a closed minded fundamentalist ‘hater’, and this viewpoint will only grow more polarized.  Those who hold true to scripture will be further marginalized and vilified by those who call themselves ‘christian’ and think they do God a service…

These folks need to read Revelation 17:16 and keep in mind that once the harlot church has outlived its usefulness, the beast will turn on it and rend it to pieces.

If I be in trouble for anything

let it be for speaking the truth…

1 Peter 3:1 they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives

“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to honor God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper inventors of evil and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. –Romans 1:26-28,30,32

Having such a hardened heart that they are driven to invent evil…

Ezekiel 3:16-4:17 ESV

And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand.

notice that everyone is responsible for and will answer for their own actions, but the watchman will also be held responsible if he does not sound the warning…
