Re: Decline Of The Family Unit

Some might just have some freaky sexual "kinks" that they can't work out personally and so they experiment with this thinking that it will bring them happiness. I believe the happiness will be short lived. Everyone wants to ultimately be a single somebody's everything. When that instinct rears it's head, jealousy will break forth shattering their "polyamory".

Great post. That article was both sad and sick.

Re: Decline Of The Family Unit

I'm afraid that, love is leaving this earth. When I say that, I realize, that God is love. And God won't leave the earth, because He is everywhere.

But those people, in that article, don't want anything to do with God. And they certainly don't know what love is. (I wonder how many of that group would claim to be Christians?)
What they have is lust and the desire for selfish pleasure, because they are sinners. No use for anyone to preach morals to them. They will sin until God (in His mercy) uses a 2 x 4 to wake them up.

But the sad thing is, that is the way that the world is going. But even sadder, some in Christianity through lack of true teaching, and by listening to the Media, and psychology of this world, are following in their footsteps. It will get worse.

Quote:
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Quote:
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
All you have to do is turn on the TV and see all of that displayed right in front of you. Except, many don't even claim a form of godliness, unless it is a Christian channel, and then you also see that "form of godliness".

But most advertise their sins as if they have found the pleasure of all pleasures, therefore they want others to join them. Besides if others join, it soothes their conscience, and shows their supposedly, more wisdom than others.

Brothers and sisters above all else, we must not lose our love for one another. If we don't love one another, we don't love God.
