"Today’s tolerance movement is a joke. Its fixation on feelings means it must endlessly redefine itself by adding to its list of acceptable and unacceptable words, attitudes and beliefs. It also must constantly change the definition of its very words to fit the newest emotional fad. Every day brings new rules and restrictions regarding what you are allowed to think and say. Every day brings a new definition of something that just yesterday was assumed to be an objective fact. At its core, progressive tolerance is about authority and control. It is little more than a thinly veiled exercise in emotional power. Like something out of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” any free thought is viewed as a threat to the accepted narrative and the rule of the gang."

Progressive tolerance is a self-congratulating, virtue-signaling, one-way street - Washington Times

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of decades, it's hard to deny that the basic values that once served as the foundation of our republic have vanished like dust in the wind.

Still Silent Shepherds—An Open Letter To Post-Pandemic Pastors: "Many churchgoers are also tired of pastors capitulating to ungodly liberal organizations and agendas. If anything, the pandemic revealed what was really inside of our hearts. Where are the Isaiahs and Jeremiahs calling us to repentance? Where is the boldness of Paul, Peter, and John the Baptist? Why are the shepherds silent?"

"1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture" is a very deceptive movie that is being released next week. The argument it presents has been debunked by real Biblical scholars for the last 75 years. There is no mystery about the clear meaning of the Greek word: "arsenokoitai". In the time of the Apostle Paul the Greek translation of the Old Testament (The Septuagint) was commonly used. Every time Paul quotes the Old Testament he uses The Septuagint. There were no verse or chapter numbers back then. So, when a teacher or preacher would reference an OT verse they would use a recognizable word or phrase and the people would know what he was talking about. For example, if there were no chapter or verse numbers today; if I quoted "For God so loved the World", you immediately know I'm referencing John 3:16. It's always been known, even before any English translation was produced, that Paul was referencing Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13. Pastors and Teachers prepare! This movie is intended to cause confusion and doubt among young people!

The Claim about Homosexuality in the Film 1946 Is Irrelevant

A new film claims Christian opposition to homosexuality is based on a 1946 mistranslation of a Greek word in the RSV Bible. Here’s why their argument doesn’t change the Christian understanding of sexuality.

Christian Marriage is much more than a “man needing a companion to be his helper.” Marriage exists as a sacred union between a man and a woman. They become “one flesh” in holy covenant, clinging to one another spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Just as Jesus and His church are not to be distorted (as we see illustrated in the epistles and Jesus’ letters to the seven churches in Revelation), marriage is not to be distorted by adultery, pornography, pre-marital sex, divorce, spousal abuse, or homosexuality.
