Sowing in Babylon: Biblical Love in a World Gone Mad

Our present age is one in which “love,” as we refer to it, has become so distorted as to be hardly recognizable. Acts of flagrant rebellion against God are gleefully sanctioned in the name of love; evil is everywhere celebrated, supposedly, for the sake of love; oppression is promulgated for the cause of love; and lies are disseminated throughout every corner of society under the guise of love. And lest we risk falling into abstraction, what I am referring to here are things like Torontostreets being filled with all manner of public sexual deviance in the month of June, libraries suddenly becoming the favourite haunt of bearded, cross-dressing weirdos, and untold numbers of children being murdered and mutilated each year precisely by those who ought to be protecting them.

Seems I forgot to post the link the first time, so I’m repinging everyone. Sorry about that!

The world’s love is a counterfeit love, a Christophobia that leads to death. “Be whatever you want, your true self” is a variation of satanic “do as thou wilt,” idolatry of self.

In my 60s and I’m just figuring out
What ‘Love’ is.

Thank you Jesus

Love

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3

This perfectly encapsulates the condition of our world today.

But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these! They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions, who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. (II Timothy 3:1-7)

Thank-you.

That word “Babylon” means ‘confusion’... God is not the author of confusion...

[gitmo]

Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near
And come to pass, that we may know it!”
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right! Isaiah 5:18-23

Amen!

Good concise article.

As a side. I have interests in NDEs. Some of the videos I watch have people telling of good experiences that are un-Biblical. Makes me wonder what they are experiencing. To put faith in their experience would be like someone explaining what a prestigious dinner is like by looking through the door for a couple minutes. Jesus told us what we need to do.

NDEs are only new to Westerners because naturalism—the reigning Western worldview together with evolutionary materialism—claims that science disproves the existence of a spiritual realm. Throughout the East and other areas of the world however, NDEs are common out of body or in body experiences among shaman and Hindu god-men.
