People worldwide clamor for freedom in the privacy of their homes carried beyond what God ordains. In our own nation, it is alarming to see how many claim to be Christians, but yet do not want laws against acceptable, common decency. They also prefer that the government not intrude into their personal lives. This is what happens tohearts that turn to personal pleasure and selfishness:
Amen.
I TIMOTHY 3:1
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. II TIMOTHY 3:2
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, II TIMOTHY 3:3
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, II TIMOTHY 3:4
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; II TIMOTHY 3:5
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. KJV
II PETER 2:1
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. II PETER 2:2
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. II PETER 2:3
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. KJV
II TIMOTHY 4:1
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; II TIMOTHY 4:2
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. II TIMOTHY 4:3
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; II TIMOTHY 4:4
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II TIMOTHY 4:5
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. KJV
II THESSALONIANS 2:3
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; II THESSALONIANS 2:4
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. II THESSALONIANS 2:5
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? II THESSALONIANS 2:6
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. II THESSALONIANS 2:7
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. II THESSALONIANS 2:8
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: II THESSALONIANS 2:9
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, II THESSALONIANS 2:10
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. II THESSALONIANS 2:11
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: II THESSALONIANS 2:12
12 That they all might be dammed who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. II THESSALONIANS 2:13
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: II THESSALONIANS 2:14
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. II THESSALONIANS 2:15
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. KJV
PHILIPPIANS 2:12
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. KJV
Individuals are willing to accept only the nature/asspect of God that is agreeable to them, their opinion and or cause. When one ignores the full counsel of God's Holy Word concerning the Lord it negates the power of God's Word to change hearts. God commands that the redeemed pursue a life of personal holiness. One who understands not that God is Holy just as must as He is love will not seek personal holiness instead creating their own nature of God thus making allowance for what ever behavior(s) they decide is right on their own.
II PETER 1:16
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. II PETER 1:17
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. II PETER 1:18
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. II PETER 1:19
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: II PETER 1:20
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. II PETER 1:21
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. KJV
GALATIANS 6:7
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. GALATIANS 6:8
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. KJV
The world indeed is getting sicker and sicker-As God states in His Holy Word as stated above what the signs (symptoms) of this downward spiral are-Lovers of pleasure rather tha lovers of God-False teachers/prophets promoting unsound doctrine that appeals to the flesh vs. the Spirit, etc...

Well, this is the News and Current Events forum, and Paula was posting a news item from Sweden regarding the increase in bestiality in that country. That's what the point of the topic was.

Oh yea, The Lord of Lord and King of Kings-The Lion of Judah-The Alpha and Omega has specific plans to fix "this epidemic".
Scripture time:
MATTHEW 24:3

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. MATTHEW 24:5
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. MATTHEW 24:6
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. MATTHEW 24:7
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. MATTHEW 24:8
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. MATTHEW 24:9
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. MATTHEW 24:10
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. MATTHEW 24:11
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. MATTHEW 24:12

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. MATTHEW 24:14
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

People who rape nonhuamn animals deseve to be punished, just as anyone else who rapes. But people who have consensual sexual relations with a nonhuman animal have the very right to do so.

"You could move."
-Abigail Van Buren,
(Dear Abby),
in response to a reader
who complained that a
gay couple was moving
in across the street and
wanted to know what
he could do to improve
the quality of the
neighborhood.

And how does one obtain consent from an animal?
and also; I hope this epidemic does not cross the atlantic. It could be the end of the democrac party. It would be split between the PETA and free love factions.
