Wrath

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

(1 Thessalonians 5:8-9)

Question: What wrath is being referred to in 1 Thess 5:9?

Hint: Notice it is between two references to salvation

Born this way?

Born this way?

Yes, we were all born into a sin ridden, fallen state, that is a corruption of what God created as good.

But, we don’t have to stay that way.

Be washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and be born again, a new creature in Christ

Forbidding to Marry

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 Timothy 4:1-4

It only recently occurred to me that this is prophesy. That a sign of the latter times would be the forbidding to marry, a doctrine of devils, would manifest in the world.

Consider that the global woke religion has destroyed marriage that God created.

Driven under the cover of “population control”, the only acceptable relationships in the New World Order are those that do not produce children such as homosexuality and pedophilia.

We have seen the broad acceptance of every form of sodomite relationship, including and not limited to homosexuality and transexual. Pedophilia and beastiality are currently following the same path to acceptance. These perversions will become the only “moral” relationships, and those to do not proactively virtue signal their support of it are the “haters” and “immoral” bigots.
