...and wondered what God thinks when He sees us "taking evolution into our own hands" or stretching the definitions of gender "beyond HE or SHE".
"Alright, that's enough. Everybody! Out of the pool!"
You read my posts last week about the approaching End Times Great Tribulation... It's not hard to watch the direction we are taking our technological achievements and our social 'awakenings', and think that we've reached beyond the limits of what God would want us to explore or expand.
Our first experiments in these directions have been mild enough - heart transplants, trans-sexuality, etcetera. But the possibilities follow Moore's Law just as surely as computer prices do: technology accelerates at rate that doubles every eighteen months. The pace of our ability to "outstrip God" will double every year-and-a-half.
If we're asking these questions now, we're going to be twice as far down that road in the fall of 2018.
Review my previous End Times piece - that's where I believe God's limits lie.
It's not just the signs in the Middle East. It's the shape of all society that leads towards the End: our movement towards the One World Government, towards One World Religion, towards the Universal Banking system we've just about got in place already.
It's the prolific expansion of false prophets, specifically the prosperity gospel preachers who tell us that God wants you to have material wealth when the Bible demonstrates exactly the opposite in its Word (consider the Apostles and judge what God gives His chosen people). Which side of the battle do you think wants you to believe in prosperity gospel? Christ...or Satan?
It's also the otherwise accurate Christian churches who are "giving in" to the pressures of society - despite the Scriptural condemnation of homosexual behavior (NOT of homosexuals! Get that straight, pardon the pun! Christ tells us to LOVE ALL, regardless of sins, and we ALL sin!), there are churches holding gay and lesbian weddings within their auspices. I actually have no problem with a gay marriage, but not under the banner of a Biblical church. The government has made provisions for justice of the peace weddings for a purpose such as this one.
It's the otherwise accurate Christian churches who will change the Word of God to fit their purposes and prejudices. It's the otherwise Christian churches who deny the End Times prophecies or deny the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ or deny things which have been written into the Bible to suit their own comfort level who are condemning themselves and their parishioners to Hell when the White Throne judgment comes.
In a book I'm close to finishing, called A Commission From God, I suggest that despite the surveys which suggest that 68% of so-called Christians believe they're going to Heaven when they die (compared to just 2% who believe they're bound for Hell), it is in fact the other way around: I will be greatly surprised if it isn't closer to 2% going to Heaven and the vast, VAST majority descending with the goats to Hell.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (Matthew 7:13-14)
Jesus was even clearer in Luke 13:23-28 →
And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out.
The Lord will not recognize many who claim His Name. Consider the Pharisees and the Sadduccees of Christ's time: as John The Baptist warned them in Luke 3:8...
"And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham."
Those men were SO sure of their salvation, and they were SO wrong.
What about you?
