machismo rules

Brazil's big problem (and the big problem with just about all other machismo culture) is a lack of purity... that's what puts the "ismo" into "macho." (Village People notwithstanding, "macho" simply means "male." I have seen male plumbing fittings marked "macho" in Spanish.)

Purity may sound pinched and Victorian at first glance, but it's actually a matter of dedication to better carry on in the Holy Spirit, which is not necessarily wimpy (cf. the power of Samson).

I would like to here opine that while I’m favorable to the idea that what John saw which looked like Greek letters was really a script he was unfamiliar with (the Arabic for In the name of Allah when combined with the crossed swords) and that Antichrist will be this 12th Imam some are looking for and the False Prophet a guy claiming to be the Muslim version of Jesus ... I still believe it reasonable that the now unfashionable notion that the AC will be a homosexual can also, and indeed must also play out too.

I figure that there’s no way that the god-hating in the West who have undergone a Romans 1:18-32 process will get onboard with a Muslim AC if they have to turn against homosexuals, it has simply become a too vital aspect of what they are ideologically for that to happen.

But since Islam has the built in doctrine of abrogation I figure a new Muslim caliph backed by “Jesus” will be able to craft a new homosexual friendly / preferential doctrine for Islam that would remove that barrier and the Left in the West wiould stream into mosques, taking any mark asked of them, just so long as they can take their precious poofters with them. The poofters maybe leading the way.

When Bob Hope joked about leaving California before they made homosexuality mandatory he probably wasn’t thinking someday they’d really actually do that.

I really don't get it because last I checked its already illegal to murder or assault someone regardless of sexuality.

Exactly!

Am waiting for the Supreme Court to make it illegal to discriminated against "assh*les."

After all, I was born this way!

Regards,

___________phobias are bullshit.

It’s not phobia, an irrationally high fear; it’s normal disgust from abnormal and perverted behaviors.

This demonizing of normalcy has got to stop.

It would be a curious translingual pun on the “666” meaning usually ascribed to this.

In general “antichrists” are all enemies of Christ.

Yes, it’s theoretically possible that a sect of Islam could morph into claims of almost anything, since it has taqqiya built in. It’s something that those who are living at the time will have to see. I say those who are living at the time, not necessarily even us, as a rapture could easily take many of us away. Perhaps there will be one more worldwide revival, and then those believers will be raptured to be spared the grief when God lowers the boom for the last act of the world drama.

The homosexual community is that way in general, everything is revolving around their deviant sexual proclivities. It is a sickness of the dead soul.

It’s a wicked thing, inspired by the devil.

I also wish to observe that Christendom is seldom “out” about spiritual recovery from that. I don’t want to blame it, at least not too much, because witnesses of this kind would attract enemy attacks. But in the face of a burgeoning problem, Christendom is going to have no choice but to stick its neck out about it. Circling the wagons will not suffice. A positive offensive in Christ against the depredations of Satan will be the only sensible answer.

Yup. Circling the wagons here in America has not worked. The degenerates have hijacked the polity and demand the government shut us up for calling their degeneracy what it is. I bet it would shock some if the actual number of sexual degenerates in Congress were known and published. And I include in that gaggle the sexually adulterous ones as well.

A slim majority. Once one judge retires, he or she can be replaced by a more conservative one. However, I’m not familiar with the Brazil judiciary; would Bolsonaro appoint SC judges or are they chosen by the legislature, or by other judges?

I’d love to see a gospel pushback here straight at the problem — at the possession/oppression of people by Satan into these sins.

BUT... this is going to take a Christendom which is seasoned at dealing with the supernatural Enemy. A Christendom that is much purer — and tougher — than is common today in America, where an easy ride on the culture was so long the story.

For all we know such an event is coming up soon anyhow, and this vote was like one last thumb in the eye to Bolsonaro before he gets to nominate someone.

Laws based on make-believe words?
