But that's because you're on the side of evil.
Well, there you have it, the perfect reversal of good for evil and evil for good that is THE sign of the last days.

Yes, and all those I called Idiots were behaving like idiots, one or two ion particular who couldn't understand the simplest point.
Why don't you propose this wager in specific terms and name your bet.
But it's crazy and you know it to take my guess at months to a year as something hard and fast. Just gives you an excuse to be obnoxious.

Crime that is called crime by society and punished by society as crime is not the problem. The problem is sin that is treated as not sin, good for evil and evil for good. Abortion is murder but we've legalized it, THAT's the particular kind of sin that's pulling down God's wrath. Legalizing gay marriage which is a violation of God's creation ordinance of marriage is a similar situation. Didn't I make that clear? If crime is increasing, however, crime that is called crime and punished as crime, and in some categories I believe it is, what that is, for your information, is God's judgment itself, God's wrath. But the increase of all evils in societies, including sins, is God's wrath.
I rather doubt your information about crime statistics but I don't keep up with them myself so all I can do is doubt.

Yes I am that important. It doesn't take a lot of importance, it just takes Political Correctness on the part of those who manage internet software like Blogger. However, I'm often grateful that I don't attract a lot of attention because I feel freer to speak my mind. But when the normally very regular stats started falling it was alarming. They fell quite precipitously quite suddenly. And they haven't come back up yet either.
If a small business owner can be punished for refusing service, how important does a person have to be to attract the PC police to shut down whatever they disagree with?

God ALLOWS sins to proliferate. when people have become as perverse as they are today. He does play a restraining role otherwise. When He lets Satan loose it's because we deserve it. And sin corrupts society and causes more sin.

I answered you way way back there somewhere.
Matthew 24:12 I think, the passage where Jesus is describing the signs of the times before the end and says lawlessness will abound. Or iniquity in the KJV.

Re: evidence reviewed
It was not a fine of 'hundreds of thousands' was it?
'Fess up. You jumped on the Fox News hyperbole magical mystery tour.
Last figure I heard for what the Oregon bakery was fined was $180,000, given in a video shown at the Houston protest gathering.
ABE: Just found this story, about a gay advocate who is raising money for the Kleins who had the bakery. The fine mentioned in this story is $150.000.

No. If crime is punished by a society it isn't going to pull down God's wrath because the society is doing the right thing. It's when society does the wrong thing that it is punished.
But an increase in crime could certainly be a sign of the end times, that's something else.

No there is no contradiction. I'm making a simple distinction: the cause of God's judgment (a society doing the wrong thing, such as not punishing crime or punishing good people) is different from the effect of God's judgment (the proliferation of crime).

Where did I say anything to imply that you should expect to be punished? I'm talking about society as a whole coming increasingly under God's judgment for an accumulation of sins BY society over a long period of time.
Of course if you don't repent and believe in Christ you WILL eventually be punished.

Oh good grief. He was talking about his own personal sins and being punished for them. I was talking about society's sins and God's judgment coming down for those. Those are two different things. It's really niot hard to sort out, you just have to think a little.

Look, I don't have to be anybody at all to get targeted by zealous gay rights advocates or other Political Correctness police. It's what I write that would attract their attention, not who I am. You didn't have to be a very important Jew to get carried off by the Nazis, just a Jew period.

The persecution of half a dozen Christian businesses over a period of a few months, and the subpoenas of the Houston pastors because of a political opinion looks to me like persecution has begun in America. Maybe our prayers will hold it off or drive it back, I hope so.
