I'm afraid out so-called light is now a flicker. The “church” started down the road of compromise a long time ago.
The bible is quite clear on women preaching in the church...compromise. The bible is quite clear on divorce and remarriage except for a very narrow set of circumstances....compromise. The bible is quite clear on fornication and adultery, yet our Sunday services are filled with people living together without being called to repentance...compromise. Our churches are filled with pregnant single women who are given church-sponsored baby showers with no one hanging their heads in shame....compromise. The only question left is how long before every denomination caves and compromises on the latest politically correct social abomination? Of course, it will be done in the name of love and not being judgmental.
you are absolutely correct. I trace it back to the 1950s, where I remember the adults saying within the meeting the question, Do we compromise? Of course compromise means giving in to the other side. The church gave in, and has been giving in ever since. The reason was, turn the other cheek. I believe the church's cheeks are quite bloodied from giving in, in this, the past to the present. coffin <---> nail, and the weight of the stone grows. Eventually God rolled the stone away. God will remove the nails and the stone when God decides, and man / woman will suffer for their compromises. God rules, man / woman cannot stand up to God, for God rules. What is to come, will come, when God causes it to come. For God is God of All.
