John UK wrote: 1. Rather an exaggeration methinks. That's what the sodomite lobby would have you believe. ... it is still a minority group... 2. I don't think we shall see a repeat of that day when all the cities of the plain were burned up with fire and brimstone 3. As for the church diminishing, it is surely to be expected as we approach the end of the world
1. John you are far too optimistic, as you have arrived at in your point No.3. The end is nigh so things can only get worse. The fact that sodomites are a minority group is not the problem, Liberalism in the church and institutions is far more dangerous. A lack of moral standards is destroying marriage the family and our kids future. 2. Fire and brimstone in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah was simply the way which the Lord worked through His justice and punishment. The next fire and brimstone could be anything which closes down western nations. 3. The diminishing of the church in both presence within the community and in doctrine is significant, a sign of the increase in iniquity and Satan's growing range. The dominion of sin which Paul refers to is expanding correspondingly with the demise of real church and doctrine.
