Anyone who had no sin or immorality in their life back in the 1960's, '70's and '80's please raise your hand. Everyone who has not been born again was full of sin, whether it is anything anyone can prove or not, we remained sinful.
The democrats who accuse others of lifestyles of the past, thirty years ago when they have this immorality in their lives in the present are what God calls hypocrites.
If the democrats who are accusing the Supreme Court nominee of immorality from thirty yeas ago are deeply sinful right now. They advocate the murdering of millions of babies, live in sin outside of marriage as well as divorce and remarrying. Divorce is a sin and remarriage is a double sin. God calls remarriage after divorce adultery, it remains adultery as long as the two remarrieds remain together. This is half of America today.
There is no such thing as a changed lifestyle and full forgiveness among democrats as long as the one they attack is not on their side of the aisle.
The democrats encourage and support every form of immorality while accusing others of things they either never did or have been forgiven by God.
Its the principle of removing the beam from one's own eye before accusing others of the very sin they are doing and encouraging in others.
I have met many self righteous Christians who are much like the democrats. They hold against others their sins that have been forgiven while they continue to sin in even worse ways in the present.
Democrats are narcissists to the core, they love their elevated view of self while the actual essence of their being is evil. Narcissists never see themselves in truth. There is a fantasy inside of the narcissistic democrat, the fantasy that they are special, better and righteous when in fact the opposite is true.
1 Timothy 5:19-20 "19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 20 But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin."
Matthew 7:5-6 "? 5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. 6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.…"
The dogs are trampling on the pearls of God as we speak. They lie, mock, intimidate and destroy those who have lived exemplary lives for many years, as though they themselves have never sinned.
It is clear that any accusation needs to be accompanied by witnesses who have actually seen for themselves the sin in the accused life. The democrats do not require a witness in an accusation against their opponent, only words. This is a good example of utter foolishness. Anyone can say anything, even making it sound plausible, even a little half truth thrown in to titillate the senses of the gossip mongers, setting off a firestorm of tantrum and punishment that might never have been appropriate.
Welcome to our world of injustice, gossip and words are all that are necessary in our perverted and wicked world to destroy a good person who has either never committed the crimes or who has turned from sin to be cleansed, never having repeated those things since their conversion and cleansing.
I don't know about the politicians, we have no way of knowing who perpetrated crimes against women, we cannot know we only have words without evidence. When the words of one person is all that is required without evidence, then the accusation should be dismissed as nothing more than words.
The democrats have the bad habit of piling up witnesses that have no credibility to accuse others of sins merely to keep them out of places of power. They are liars and gossip mongers and for nothing more than getting their own way, just like spoiled brats having a tantrum when Mummy says no to them.
Remember this, there is no credibility among the democrats who advocate the murdering of babies, the rights of homosexuals and the transgender crowd. When a group of people defend these sin they have no right to speak against any other sin, the beam remains in their own eyes, worse than anything they accuse others of doing.
There you have it!!!!! Yes, its my opinion but it is based on God's Word and for those of you who do not know Christ it used to be good old fashioned horse sense even for the unsaved to require real witnesses to any crime.
When we have come to Christ for cleansing our past sins may have some consequences that remain but the sin is gone, utterly and completely.
Be encouraged brothers and sisters, we are living in the end times. God said it would be that way and now we see it on steroids. The 2 Timothy 3 mentality is increasing, I am sure glad I will not be here to see it escalate in the tribulation. That will be a time of brutality and injustice the likes of which no one has ever seen before. The Holy Spirit will no longer be here to restrain evil. Yes, get that, its bad enough right now when the Holy Spirit is restraining evil, imagine when He is taken out with the church and all that is left is pure evil. Then the earth will groan with the sin upon it in a way that brings gripping and monstrous fear to everyone.

The Wicked Love Their Darkness
Wicked people don't want to believe we have been completely changed, they desire to remember us the way we used to be before Christ changed us. The reason is simple, if they see the change in us they must face their own sinfulness. The light shines on the darkness and those who love themselves above all else hate the light. The darkness is far more comfortable for those who must maintain that false persona of goodness.
Flattery is Condemned by God
The false love of the world has to do with friendliness to be like by the one they manipulate with kindness and flattery.
The real love of God points people to their flaws, their needs and encourages them to seek Christ.
The love of the world leaves people comfortable in their sin and infancy, while the love of God spurs others to greater holiness and life of wonder and awe of Christ.
Those who love the world hate those who love Christ. They manipulate, demean, mock, intimidate and exclude those who will bring the real love of Christ.
1 Corinthians 4:6
"Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another."
When we stay within the principles of God in His Word for instruction then we are loving the hearer.
Proverbs 27:5
"Better is open rebuke than hidden love."
2 Timothy 4:2
"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching."
Flatter is of no value, it brings nothing but further error as the person hearing it is solidified in their own pride from the hearing of it.
Proverbs 29:5 ""A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet". Spreads a net for his feet - Beware of a flatterer; he does not flatter merely to please you, but to deceive you and profit himself."
Those who flatter us do it to gain advantage over us. They love to remove our defenses more willing to fall into their ways if we are too flattered to see the errors.
Complimenting someone in genuineness is different from flattery. Flattery serves to disarm us from our senses to take over our soul.

As in the Days of Noah
It is becoming harder to relate to most people in this culture of apostasy. Even in Christian gatherings we are the fringe crazies when we speak against the ways of the world and for the ways of God. The Bible is not the bench mark for everything, in fact many things the modern believer defends with their life are against the ways of God.
Those who speak boldly the Bible are summarily dismissed, mocked and even treated with disdain.
The rebuke, admonition, correction and proper teaching is missing from the Christian churches of our day. Correction is seen as rude while disrespect is justified.
2 Timothy 4:1-8
"1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing."

Our Friends Shape us!
If our constant companions are those who think more in worldly ways than in the wisdom of God, then we will be convinced of the worldly ways.

Youth Need to Stop Talking and Start Listening
1 Timothy 4:…11 Command and teach these things. 12 Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.…
This verse is often used by charismatics to say that Timothy should be revered in his youthfulness. That he should never allow others to judge him based on his youth. It is used to justify very young people in ministry leadership positions.
At closer inspection it seems more likely that God is telling Timothy not to be disrespectful or do anything that might foster a reason for people to refuse to listen to him.
I understand it this way because over my lifetime I have seen arrogant youth who think they no longer have to listen to others who are older and wiser. They elevate themselves to the same level as those who should be honored by the youth.
When young people refuse to acknowledge the wisdom of the elders they are displaying disrespect and superiority over their elders. It is dishonoring and repugnant to the elder to be treated as an equal or even inferior to the youth. It is less likely that the elders will listen to this arrogant and superior demonstration from the youth who attempt to dominate over their elders.
Young people need to be spending far more time listening than they do speaking. In these last days of 2 Timothy 3 we live in a world that elevates youth above elders and wisdom.
The youth of today tend to think if they have a thought in their head it equates to wisdom, just merely having the thought should bring them praise and adulation. Sort of like the ball youth sports that people attend in which every child gets a prize even if they lose. The youth of today expect to be praised, elevated and treated as princes and princesses without having to earn anything.
It takes many years for wise people to become wise. It takes many real life experience, and I do not mean play and travel, for them to develop the wisdom to be able to think in the correct manner.
There is nothing more agonizing to be in the same room with arrogant self righteous know it alls who believe they are equal to and above those who have lived much longer than they.

"Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? "
When we attempt to speak wisdom to a foolish person they will claim that we are the fools. The more we try to convince them of the wisdom from God, the more they will kick against it. Why, we ask ourselves do they do this? The reason is simple, the fool must be seen as right no matter how silly their argument. They don't care that they are wrong, they only care that they assert themselves. Many fools even know they are wrong but will fight to defend their way in spite of it.
You see, a fool is more interested in winning an argument than they are in discovering truth.
This is the world we live in now, it is not easy, the disrespect and lack of good old fashioned horse sense is nearly gone and there are few that will listen.
Many believers hold on to the foolishness of psychology and the ways of the world when they could humble themselves, ask God for wisdom and proceed to grow in holiness and the wisdom they so desperately need.

"Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?"
