False prophet will see the fires of hell.
Pharisees see them too...
Recent reading has impressed on me how ill prepared the small-o orthodox churches are to address the issues by which a sad soul falls into a number of sex perversion sins.
Many such people don’t have to be told that it’s wrong, from hell. They know it. They understand it. What they don’t know about is anything more than a nominal Christ, and that cannot beat a non-nominal devil.
Can we get beyond the “eww” and even beyond the “what a false prophet” to “Everybody, please see the unbelievable love of Christ”? Somehow, some way.
In my spare time, I follow You Tube videos of noted musicians. I like it when the score is put up and I can read it while hearing the corresponding music. But in the same articles I have heard about sex perversions that some of these musicians got into. Their music isn’t about sex perversions. I’m not talking about Lady Gaga. But I think how incredibly sad that they brushed elbows very closely with Christendom — and yet never saw the Remedy in Christ. I frankly believe that pastors weren’t ready to deal with it. And for what people are ignorant about, Christ is quite lenient about. “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
Instead of sitting and fulminating, the small-o orthodox church needs to get off of its blessed assurances and go where Jesus got hooted at for going — into the tenderloin districts, which now are everywhere. They more likely than not already know about hell. They don’t know any other answer but to capitulate to Satan. They don’t know about any “But you were washed” promise, that will remove the robotic nature of perverted sex and replace it with full hearted love. And many a broken heart will see healing.
And that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
