“Original Sin is one of the most essential doctrines of Christianity…the premise that every human being is born sinful…How does this not qualify as psychological and emotional abuse?” – Austin Cline, About.com
The persecution of The Church is well under way!
Progressives continue to ostracize those Christians who use their public platform to make a clear, orthodox case for Original Sin. The straight talk applied by the spiritually astute Christian is repeatedly met with accusations of hate and bigotry. I’m picturing a time in the near future when faithful preachers will be forced to step down as their congregations are driven underground.
As secular controls increase and open hostility toward Christianity advances, our freedom to faithfully teach and practice our beliefs will continue to fall prey to greater obstructions and outright interference by a liberal political machine intent on dismantling our Judeo-Christian foundation.
We are seeing plenty of evidence of this in our current day. Anyone who dares to declare (no matter how compassionate the approach) a belief that runs counter to the liberal social agenda, better be prepared to face the wrath of the social progressives. Open discussions and considerations relating to existential matters have essentially been deemed ‘off limits,’ a natural consequence of today’s Christian bias.
Actor and Apologist, Kirk Cameron, actually had the nerve to take his well-grounded convictions to the liberal media. Lets consider what he had to say,
“I believe marriage was defined by God. Marriage is almost as old as dirt… One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don’t think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don’t.”
These words set off a firestorm of controversy throughout the various news publications and social media outlets. Cameron was verbally annihilated, as the shock and hysteria displayed by a vocal, politically correct, majority took a severely ugly turn. Cameron was written off as a bigot, a zealot, a kook, a buffoon…
Personally, I don’t go to Cameron for my information or my theology or anything for that matter, but I respect him for the stand he took and I agree with everything he said. The fact that so many were aghast by his sentiments, shows how far gone our modern culture has become.
Lets compare Mr. Cameron’s words to that of Jesus,
“But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” – Mark 10
When we consider the words of the Dear Lord and Savior, we may harken back to a time in our culture when the sentiments expressed by Cameron would not be considered extraodinary.
When asked if he thought homosexuality was a sin, Cameron gave a bold response,
“I think that it’s…unnatural. It’s detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization.”
Now on the surface this may sound harsh, especially by today’s secular standards, but let’s hear what the Bible has to say,
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly” -Romans 1
God is not a God of confusion. We know in on our hearts what is natural, our designed purpose, the natural order of things. We all possess urges and desires that run counter to God’s intended purpose for mankind, which is why we must preach man’s fallen nature in the first place.
But the progressives will have none of it!
They declare that there is no God, no natural order, no ultimate purpose. From their perspective, we are merely a product of our chemical makeup, while truth is arbitrary and wholly dependent on one’s personal morality. As a result, laws and norms are adjusted and reconstructed based on the whims and wants of the individual. A fulfillment of the natural impulses and propensities of the person has become the primary goal of secular humanism. While an espousing of God’s moral standard, and our sinful rebellion, has been deemed hate speech by a secular majority blinded by their own wisdom.
Even military chaplains are on notice. Once (DADT) was lifted, the potential for charges of ‘hate speech levied against a chaplain (for preaching against homosexuality) became a legitimate concern.
As our nation continues down this progressive course, we will proceed to witness the demise of our first amendment rights. The day that Christianity will be forced to comply with secular standards or face open persecution is rapidly approaching. A day in which the churches will be shut down, a consequence of faithful orthodox preaching.
A day may even come when our children will be removed from their Christian home, a form of state ‘protection’ against parents who share the Biblical teachings of original sin. Don’t think it can’t happen. With how rapidly the anti-faith movement is progressing (i.e. contraception mandates, forced acceptance of non-traditional marriage, a removing of all remnants of our Judeo-Christian heritage from the public square) a complete rejection of religious expression is a certain inevitability.
We are already living in a day where The Ten Commandments are trampled upon. Seems to me like we’re the ones with a problem.
God has the solution, but like in the days of Caesar, we want nothing to do with Him!
The God of The Bible has been deemed public enemy #1 by these radical progressives. The day will come when He will have His vengance against our ungodly nation…and it’s not going to be pretty!

It’s nice to know that God will have the LAST WORD! (I’m smiling)
And I am smiling along with you. They are so stupid because they have not learned that their position(s) were tried and lost in so many centuries and countries (Russia, Germany, etc.) and yet they try and try to do the same thing which will definitely result in the same end. America is different and special and gun owning, so they can try, but won’t succeed and may even wind up meeting God sooner than later.
And I am looking for to that day of Judgement!! The look on these heathen’s faces will be priceless!!
For the ignorant, the Catholic Church years ago dropped the original sin idea. Get informed before you gripe!
The Roman Catholics changed the Sabbath to Sunday. They rewrote the 10 Commandments and a lot of other passages to suit their fancy. Does that make it right or legal? NO. God said clearly that His word was law and was NOT to be changed. Jesus while on earth said the same thing. What they did, and still are doing is blasphemy. And, judgement will come to them.
The Catholic Church nover dropped the ‘original sin’ fact as contained in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Yes, America is headed for the Divine Chastisement as is the whole world. The salvation of the world is at peril. These so-called progressives who have actually convinced too many ‘dumb’ Americans that their anti-Christian, anti-God philosophy is OK are bringing on the warth of Almighty God. He destroyed Sodom and Gamorah. He will destroy America for the sick perversion of so-called same-sex marriage, for the merciless slaughter of millions of unborn children, for greed, fornication, etc. The list goes on. These are crimes against God and man. If we don’t correct our crimes against God and man, God will correct them for us. And as the author said above “it’s not going to be pretty.”
How do you think this “Divine Chastisement” will manifest itself?
How will God destroy America?
It seems that you know of God’s will, so I’m wondering if you know the manner in which He will carry this out, and when.

When did the Catholic Church become the “all in all” of God’s word? Did God give them the authority to drop any part of his word? God’s inspired word, The Holy Bible says in Leviticus 18:22- “You shall not llie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination”. 20:-13 “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.” In Revelation 22:18-20 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto to him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things, which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. A-men, Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Our Lord Jesus is coming quicker than most are ready for, just take a look around this world today and compare it with what is written in His word, we all should be getting ourselves set right now, as He did say he would come “Like a thief in the night”.
The Catholic Chruch became the ‘all in all’ of God’s word when Jesus Christ instituted it when He said to St. Peter, “Upon this rock I build my Church.” Why are you attacking the Catholic Church? If you don’t believe it’s the ‘all in all’ of God’s word then so be it. We Christians need to STOP fighting over these trivial things or we will loose the culture war, if we haven’t already.
It distresses me to see intelligent people continue to abuse the word, “gay”. Considering the fact that sodomists attempt to substitute the male anus for the female vagina, the perception of anything about it that is associated with the word, gay, denotes pathological thought.
Homosexuality is a learned behavior, which is the basis for paedophiles abusing a child before the age of ten. While not all homosexuals are paedophiles, all paedophiles are homosexuals. And all paedophiles abuse children and youth.
Word Press posted a very enlightening page, which, searcing on the folowing word grouping “wordpress.com/2011/11/17/the-sandusky-pedophile-sex-ring-child-rape-for-hire/“ will lead to it.
After “The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska,” subsequent exposes´ of various additional paedophile rings in the Western World, plus the world wide Israeli sex trafficking trade of both genders and a wide range of ages, along comes the Sandusky paedophile ring at Penn State. Reported several times, but protected by Penn State administrators and local officials, the ring was finally exposed, after over twenty years of operation. One Sandusky-established, program for disadvantaged boys was used by older, rich white men to scout out potential victims. Was the speedy trial and sentencing of Sandusky in late 2012 a cover-up of the larger paedophile ring, which the Washington Times traced twenty-three years ago, June, 1989, to the Reagan-Bush White House? Paedophiles are criminals, and homosexuals are disheartening, the opposite of gay. Propagandizing with the opposite of reality ? Again, the U.S. White House.
You said: “The day will come when He will have His vengance against our ungodly nation…and it’s not going to be pretty!” In my opinion, that day is already in process. As you noted we kicked God out of schools, no Bible & no prayer, we kicked Him out of society by making prayer in Jesus Name illegal for chaplains, no prayer at sports events, we removed His name from every possible place and all the symbols, crosses, manger scenes, etc. Now we have a Political Party in power whose Platform, first Removed God from its pages, then they replaced it against the vote of the majority. They supported Abortion (murder), they support homosexuality, they support drugs, etc and etc. Their platform is not God’s platform but it is Satan’s platform.
By the way, I do not believe the goal they are aiming for is a Socialist state, they may think it is, but the final goal is an Islamic State with Shariah instead of a Constitution. We are almost there but on thing is still a barrier to tyranny of this sort. It is the Second Amendment. Every dictator in history has removed guns, weapons, from the citizens before they dared to take complete control. That process is in progress today in the USA.
If you do not know Jesus as your Savior and redeemer you need to read the Bible, especially the 4 Gospels but Genesis is also important because it tells you that the first couple were created in God’s image. But, not long after the couple rebelled against Gods one law given them, you read that Adam had
sons in his own image, i.e. they were born rebels against God and the death penalty was passed from their parents to all descendents, which includes us. Jesus died in place of all of us so we could regain life eternal instead of death eternal. Time is Short, please read.
@mynickelsworth

I’ve got a novel idea, Why don’t they in depthly (apparently I made this a new word) study the Muslim religion? Their GOD DAMNED heads would spin, I’ve read the Koran or Qur’an or how ever some idiot wants to spell it’s “Evilness”, ha, kind of like a grade B movie, since that is how they think and disrespect us and any other whom thinks different. Only the enemies religion can be respected (per government), our religion is out dated and boring, “We already know it!”, there has to be something more interesting and true, or….just plain freaking evil..in depth and true thought..These liberals always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, well, they are wrong, we are the greenest grass left to mankind and these ignorant idiots are continually denigrating us and looking for heaven when it doesn’t exist on this plain and they’ve done their damnedest to destroy any kind of heaven on earth related to, folks we had it. But dumb idiots had to hate a people we brought here against their will, Why, why hate, is it the opposite of guilt or “hey, things have changed, if you work side by side with us you will be one of us and treated like us, hell no, it was “oh, I’m sorry go back to your squalor and collect what the government gives you and don’t forget to never better yourself and stay away from our jobs and remember it’s all for free. For the majority it worked. Now their biggest enemy is their own kind, and drove these people turn to the cult of Muslim, all for hate, hate of us for giving them “For free” a crappy life. It seems no one can ever forgive and move on, this wasn’t during my time and if it occurred, did I do it, NO, I didn’t but anyone that looks like me did and they hold this hate today, until they learn to take responsibility and grow, like every other culture in mankind has had to grow adapt and over come. for Gods sake the world is not like this anymore and me, as an employer look for minorities without a chip on their shoulder and it’s hard, I will not go into details. The people of this country need to become alike, they don’t need to be as one, but Islam is an evil religion and needs to be stopped, especially in the U.S.A. You can bicker all you want or hate me, this is true whether your bleeding heart of ignorance wants to believe it or not, they are NO GOOD!…I’ll prob. get kicked off of this site for speaking “What I think or know is the truth about this religion anyhow”.
You made a very good point — forgiveness. We cannot expect forgiveness unless we forgive others. God will not forgive those who do not forgive their brothers or sisters who trespass against them. That’s spelled out in the Bible Gospel according to Matthew 18:21-35. Jesus teaches that forgiving others is a requirement for being forgiven. He presents an exaggerated difference of debt in the story. It is not the statistic he is emphasizing, but the need of forgiving others. Satan uses people’s refusal to forgive others and turns it into hate. Satan is at the heart of refusal to forgive. He uses it to cause disunity and chaos amongst people in order to assault and offend the Creator of the human race — God Almighty. For God is Love and Satan is hatred. And from what I’ve heard the Muslim religion teaches this hatred not the Love of God.
@ benzinwasser,
You spoke your mind ,and all that came out of it was truth,
If any one gets thrown off these site for telling truth then there will not be any sites left ,
Yahuwah forgives those that do not have the knowledge to see or seek the truth.
May Yahushua bless and keep you safe.
I enjoyed reading all these comments.
I’d also like to say that I need to STAND with Mr. Cameron rather than have him be my spokesman.
Jesus said that if I was embarrassed of speaking out about He and His Truth – He’d be reticent about talking about me with His Father… If we’d only lose the ‘fear’…and I’m including myself, here…and SHOW our love – there’d be much more positive action, I believe.
