The thing is, there is no wavering, no adopting, adapting, or accommodating the inerrant infallible unchangeable Word of God to fit current fallen, sinful world ideologies providing a comfort zone by painting gray zones, choosing what to believe and what to discredit, attempt to alter — thus pervert — in order to satisfy, placate, appease the lost and in darkness people of today.
What is needed most in our current world is the Holy Bible exact and unchanged. As handed down to select men, God-breathed words to them for our instruction and understanding of the consequences of serving this world, or serving God. Of obeying man or obeying God.
Evil cannot be appeased or accommodated.
No excuse is acceptable for doing so.
To garner votes? To hold office? To please people? There is no being a modern day Marie Antoinette, or Pontius Pilate wherein we all can have some cake while also eating it as we wash our hands…
God’s ways, the Word of God is very clear. So clear and easy to understand on every important matter that even a child can understand its truth and words.
Why can’t so many others? Well, because they are enslaved to Satan and are not only in darkness they ARE darkness. And to be a Christian, a true Christian in these times is to be an enemy of this world, enemy #1. The greatest threat. Therefore, it means the time is at hand for every true Christian to stand firmly, boldly, unwavering and honest in the truth, life, and light of the Scriptures.
Unyielding. Making no excuses.
Always.
To the end.
Either stand. Or fall.
But God will not be mocked nor His eternal Word altered to please sinful men and women.

Kate Forbes defends right to hold Christian views on marriage and sexuality

Kate Forbes has been forced to defend her Christian views about homosexuality and same-sex marriage after launching her campaign to become next leader of the SNP.
The Scottish Finance Secretary belongs to the Free Church of Scotland, known for its traditionalist stance on these issues.
She was grilled on her beliefs in an interview by Scottish news channel STV in which she said that if she had been around 10 years ago, she would have voted against same-sex marriage.
She said she was “a servant of democracy” and “would defend to the hilt” someone’s legal right to enter into a same-sex marriage, and asked that others would do the same for her in terms of her right to follow her conscience and Christian beliefs.
“I would have voted in line with my conscience on a position which is actually echoed across most major faiths in terms of Islam, Judaism and so on,” she said.
“As a practising Christian, I can tell you what I practice, which is that marriage is between a man and a woman.”
Interviewer Colin Mackay asked Forbes if she was meaning that “legally, you accept homosexual marriage, but morally, you don’t accept homosexual marriage”.
In reply, she said she hoped that “that is possible in a pluralistic society.”
“Politicians should have integrity to say what they believe, how they believe it and to act on that. And if I can defend their right to hold a view, can they defend my right?” she said.
The 32-year-old went on to say that the backlash over her views was drawing out “a fascinating question at the heart of Scottish political discourse, which is what does liberalism mean?”
“Have we become so illiberal that we cannot have these discussions or some people are beyond the pale?” she said.
“If some people are beyond the pale, then those are dark and dangerous days for Scotland.”

Later in the interview, Forbes was asked about her views on a homosexual conversion therapy ban and abortion clinic buffer zones.
She said that she was opposed to women being subjected to “fear and harassment”.
“You absolutely would not oppose buffer zones?” asked Mackay.
Forbes replied: “No, and I’ve never said that.”
Regarding a conversion therapy ban, she said, “I would absolutely, wholeheartedly condemn coercion of any kind when it comes to people’s sexuality.”
