What Would You Like On Your Burger- 1 Timothy 1:10

The Any Way You Like It Culture How would you like your steak done? Rare, Medium? What would you like on your Burger? So many choices. Goody goody, We get to pick now. Where do you want to live, you don't have to live anywhere near your parents if you don't want to. What kind of car would you like to drive- can't afford it-no problem, take out a car note. Where do you want to go to church? Oh you don't want to-no problem. What are you doing on your Christmas vacation? Nothing particularly family or religious? You are not 'religious' you say, you are 'spiritual' (which 'Spirit' exactly??) -going Sunbathing in Aruba? How do you like your relationships? No ball and chain for you? Loose not locked in? You have an 'arrangement?' Not the family guy? You prefer bunking down with something more familiar. Something like yourself that you understand. What would you like on your burger- what would you like on your Arse? Everything is now OK, normative, just your choice. Want to have actually a live birth with that baby you are walking around with inside you-no? no problem, we can take care of that. We can even pay for it for you. Everyone's choice like this creates a clear potential for All Hell Breaking Loose. What if you want to choose something someone else thinks is evil? Is there evil anymore or do you just not see it? Is there objective evil and what is it? In the last days, scripture says, people will trade relations with oppose sex with sex with their same sex. This seems to fall right in line with the Population control agenda. (but not as neatly as they want because opposite sex people are finding In Vitro ways to reproduce anyway.) But it does not say homosexual marriage is bad in the bible you argue. Neither does it say Thou shall not rape your mother or have sex with your three year old. Because everyone understood at the time those things to be so off the radar wrong they didn't merit mention. No one needed to waste their time talking about it. Jesus didn't need to spend a sermon telling people not to do what only people two thousand years later would think was OK to do. It only needed to be mentioned like this: in the last days there will be people who trade relations with the opposite sex for relations with each other (same sex.) And that is basically exactly what is written. The audience at the time would have gasped a "you're kidding me!" "how crazy are they!" The problem is now that we have a democracy, and civil liberties are cherished allowing people freedom, and we are governed by a Constitution in principle, so do we give equal right and access to that which some people find evil. Is there an equal right to access for all who feel comfortable or compelled to chew off their index fingers? Why not, it's their body, it's their choice. Is there an equal right to access for all who feel comfortable or compelled to streak naked down Madison and Pennsylvania Avenue at lunch hour because they abhor the feel of clothing on their skin. Where is the line? The 'limiting' principle as it were. The writing of Timothy in scripture classifies those who practice homosexuality with liars, perjurers, slavetraders and the sexually immoral. There is no question that at the time scripture was written homosexuality was viewed as depraved abomination. The name Sodomy comes from the town Sodom that God blew off the map for the sexual depravity practiced there after some men tried to gang rape Angels. Societies and governments do base laws on what is a social normative understanding of what is morally acceptable to the group. When the Bar drops, so do the laws. But is this a good thing- Even Martha Stewart believes that there are 'good things' and bad things. Is this a good thing? To answer that you must acknowledge that there is a 'good' and its opposite. If everything is relative you can't even answer the question. And if everything is relative then it is all an illusion and you don't have to put on socks or underwear or wash your face, brush your teeth or comb your hair in the morning any more if you don't want to. Do what you want. And if every person does what they want, what a mess.
