Our culture claims it’s enlightened, intelligent, and civilized to accept homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, and premarital sex.

History doesn’t agree.

Oxford-educated anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 5000 years of sexual customs for 86 prominent cultures.

He found, without exception, that “heterosexual monogamy was the optimal arrangement for planning, building, protecting, and nurturing the family.” When a nation’s sexual morals declined, its productivity and success as a nation also declined. (source)

God explained this truth long ago in the book of Romans:
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness…their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another…Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:18-32

God's design is healthy and blessed. When we approve of immorality, we encourage people to damage their hearts, and we promote the decline of families, communities, and nations.

Genuine love promotes God's healthy commands.

I like that this article is actually claiming that homosexuality was the cause of the collapse of the Roman Empire.

The fact that you believe stuff like this is deeply troubling. I hope you get better.

Oh, yes, the United States of America will collapse by at least the middle of the next century.

But the reason will not have anything to do with sexual proclivities.

You know that how?

Homosexual sin / sexual immorality was one of the reasons Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Jude 7).

You can't use the Bible to corroborate itself. Also, I struggled through most of the article you cited. I found a lot of conjecture. Can you quote the passage that states they definitely found Sodom and Gommorrah and that they were definitely destroyed by God?

Oh please… :rolleyes:

Can you name one instance in the last 200 years in which “god” directly caused the destruction of something fairly substantial simply because of the way people behaved?

If picking something like a weather event, or natural disaster is all you‘ve got you may want to keep silent. That’d be pretty weak sauce.

I would say that the GREAT DEPRESSION of 1929-1930's was the direct result of the behavioral disintegration of society in general. Man became very materialistic and even morally corrupt --- buying stocks and bonds on credit, and building fortunes on bootlegged booze. The unjust Great World War retributions that were dumped entirely upon Germany's back to pay, bankrupt that country, destroyed their economy, and ultimately allowed an Anti-Christ to move in and take over that government. He promised to be their "Savior" and became their "Father" figurehead.

This is in no way shifts the guilt of the HOLOCAUST away from those that perpetuated it. But remember that there were collaborator in other countries, and even the United States turned away a boat load of people seeking asylum and this likely resulted in the US being blindsided at Pearl Harbor as punishment (I [GOD] will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you). So everything is tied together. It must also be understood that a liberal movement with regard to the Biblical interpretation and presentation began in earnest in Germany in the late 19th century attempting to corrupt the understanding of the Bible and watering it down.

Nonsense. The Great Depression happened because of republican laissez-faire business practices and deregulation that allowed buying all those stocks and bonds on credit. Bootleg liquor fortunes were built because the religious right ridiculously got alcohol banned.

In a society without modern machinery or medicine, where all work is labor intensive, with short life spans, high infant mortality rates, high maternal mortality and low population mobility, then open acceptance of post-adolescent homosexuality would be detrimental. Societal/religious pressure to repress or closet same sex attraction would be near universal.

But while in a pre-industrial, high infant and maternal mortality, short life span society condemning homosexuality makes sense, in the modern world it doesn’t. Just like while in a pre-refrigeration, hot climate, avoiding shellfish and pork made sense, it doesn’t anymore.

No, it was one instance of a common result of capitalism and not the only economic depression cases by capitalism.

Jude wasn't in the Bible in the 1st Century, so yeah, I can use it.

From the previous article: "When the archaeological, geographical and epigraphic evidence is reviewed in detail, it is clear that the infamous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have now been found. What is more, this evidence demonstrates that the Bible provides an accurate eyewitness account of events that occurred southeast of the Dead Sea over 4,000 years ago."

Who is the eyewitness from 4,000 years ago?

Oh come on. Business policies didn't change from George Washington. The Gilded Age was all about gluttony. And the Democrats were led to a separation of race relations by Woodrow Wilson ----- who would have thought.

Not only was it the perfect economic storm around the world, but the Dust Bowl was destroying the plans and Oklahoma farming communities, and dictators galore! It was like the world was being given a rehearsal of things to come with the stage being set.

Yup. Gluttony is what capitalism is all about. It's never enough. Southern Democrats, no relationship to today's Dem party.

The Dust Bowl was stupid people wanting to have it all. The land wasn't good for farming. Poor people got ripped off. In the end the banks made out like bandits.

Look, shit is gonna happen. What matters is how you deal with it. You can overcome it or at least LEARN something from it. How about we start leaning something.

What you say is true. GOD gives warning signals. And after World War II, the United States was very spiritual minded. There are always going to be some nasty people in THIS world, but for the most part, as this nation turned toward the LORD, things were sweet. But as this nation digressed into materialism, things began to unravel and people were not either happy nor satisfied. And we found ourselves stuck in yet another war that wasn't even properly declared. The hippie movement was a revolt against materialism and turning to the values of the grandparents ----- though some went another way and looked to drugs instead of the true LOVE of Christ. Hedonism isn't what they really desired nor needed.

Rape is not the same as homosexuality. Lott’s daughters were saved yet they got their father drunk and went to town, they got off scott free. You cant kill us anymore so stop ginning up hate and just accept it.
