Two Momentous Events Took Place This Week That Will Forever Change the Course of Western Christendom

TWO MOMENTOUS events took place this week that will forever change the course of western Christendom.

The Church of England formally allowed prayers for the blessing of same-sex unions thus paving the way for even greater sexual license in the coming years.

Across the Tiber, Pope Francis issued “Fiducia supplicans” (Supplicating Trust) which now allows for Roman Catholic priests to bless same-sex persons in relationships or other non-sacramentally married Catholic couples, thus breaking with 2,000 years of church teaching on the exclusivity and sacredness of sexual relationships between a man and a woman in holy matrimony.

It has been hailed as an important first step by Catholics who have advocated for changes in the Church’s teachings on LGBT issues, and on cohabitation and divorce and remarriage.

Yes “monumental”. What does that infer? Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Monumental how?

Sounds like politicians like Biden and Harris are pushing religious institutions to accept non religious political positions.

Harris rails about abortion freedom and persecution “against who you love”.
What if that’s just code for “who you get to abuse”.

Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful before God. (Genesis 13:13)

“Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of heaven. Thus He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Then Abraham rose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord. Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, a flame was ascending from the land, like the smoke of a furnace.” (Genesis 19:24-28)

Monumental may have terrible consequences.

>> Demons have infested the churches.

Pretty much throughout the 20th century, the organized church existed in a state of lukewarm “Christian normal” (vs. “Christians on fire!”). The pull of the world and the pride of technological advancement led the sleepwalking “church” to follow the world rather than to disciple the world. And so, after a hundred plus years of missional degeneration, here we are in a post-Christian (or “anti-Christian”) nation with all sorts of open demonic disruption.

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

But thanks and praise to GOD, there is a significant and growing remnant that is still on fire with the Holy Ghost for CHRIST.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but of rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Ephesians 6:12. 🙏

I now recognize two Internet soldiers who are carrying the banner for the Lord - David Virtue with Virtue on Line and Michael Matt with his Remnant News. In these bleak times, we need to tune in and listen to their message of hope for the future of Christendom. The Church will prevail undefiled as surely as it is proclaimed in our very soul, by human nature, and the Bible. Acts 17:24-28:

“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”

The ultimate goal of the homosexual agenda is to legalize adult/child sex. That is the end game. The freedom to have sex with children anytime, any place, everywhere.

Just look at the homosexual cretins in the Senate chambers filming themselves having sex. They have no moral conscience. All they care about on their minds 24/7, is when they’ll have the next orgasm.

They are to be condemned, shunned and thrown into the lake of fire.

Not in your humble opinion, rather in your very good opinion. However, your humility is appreciated.

Simply leave in droves, take your tithes and offerings with you.

501c3 churches are contractually bought and paid for. Don’t buy into the entrapment shenanigans.

The Holy See, correcting the errors of Christ for over 2000 years. Because He just got so many things wrong.

Exactly so. Camel's nose in the tent. Next they'll say the second-rate blessing is apartheid-y and only full acceptance and celebration of them will suffice.

Either the Church stands, or it stands for anything. Clearly Francis wants the latter option. He is working hard at it.

Seems like those supporting some churches are running out of “Yeah, but....” as an argument.

And those who still believe in Papal Infallibility will now be saying it must be God’s will to support same sex everything - soon they will have pedos babysitting during services....

There used to be videos on the web by Andrew Strom about the kundalini spirit invading the church. For some reason the videos have all been taken down, which is a shame since they were very good.

He also wrote a book addressing this issue.

Yes, the church has been infiltrated by demonic entities posing as the Holy Spirit and many have been deceived by it.

Worth remembering Marx and the communist league both decided to move to Merry Old England and called it their true home.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

The world is becoming exceedingly evil.
