Let's Pratice Our Own Cancel Culture -- 2 Cor 6:14

 “And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.” -- 1 Kings 14:24

“And he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.” -- 1 Kings 15:12

 Moses said:

“People of Israel, don’t any of you ever be temple prostitutes. 18 The Lord your God is disgusted with men and women who are prostitutes of any kind, and he will not accept a gift from them, even if it had been promised to him.” – Deuteronomy 23:17-19

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”—Rom 1:28-32

Getting the drift of the tenor of this article? The title is a clue.

 Christians, now is the time to take back your first amendment rights, ALL OF THEM! SPEAK OUT. Practice YOUR religion FREE of prohibition. Write what you believe as FREE PRESS. Peaceable Assembly, principally in your own house of worship. And ABSOLUTELY redress your government for any tyrannical means they use to stifle A SINGLE right for any cause including their favorite ‘safety’. The discussion of the wisdom of a lockdown can be handled by secular discussion but this area is for Christian discussion.

 Having said that, the impetus for this article came from the release on Netflix of the controversial movie featuring 11 year old girls dancing and other things in a sexually provocative manner, dressed to emphasize their dance and the general premise for the movie, presented as a young Muslim girl wanting to bust out of her culture into one that is devoid of the chastity taught by her culture. I made the choice NOT to post any photo or the name of the video. If you do not know of the controversy Google the controversy on Netflix over 11 year old girls…

 No Christian should be supporting this video. Since Netflix has been like a locomotive full speed  through the Christian values of half their American audience with series after series featuring depravity in all forms – promoting  depravity in all forms and refusing to yield to those who have supported them from their beginning in their business model.

This author cancelled our Netflix. Now using that money to support a couple of other web-based ventures that are beneficial.    

As a reminder, I would like to feature a few more Bible references to the kind of behavior Christians should model. 

 Chaste [Chastity]

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as you as a chaste chastevirgin to Christ.”—2 Cor 11:2

The definition for the word Chaste in this scripture is: “Pure from carnality, chaste, modest.” – Strong’s G53 /Thayer’s Greek Lexicon [blueletterbible.org™]

 “To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”—Titus 2:5

[See Definition above.]

 “While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.” 1 Peter 3:2

The definition for the word Chaste in this verse is: “Pure from every fault, immaculate.” – Strong’s G53 /Thayer’s Greek Lexicon [blueletterbible.org™]

If you have not been taught the idea of chastity please do pray and meditate on the cited scriptures. Even if you practice being chaste you would not want to participate even if for entertainment – especially with respect to underaged children!

Modesty

 “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;” – 1 Tim 2:9

Modesty is defined as ‘well arranged, seemly, modest’ – ‘orderly, i.e. decorous: —of good behaviour, modest.’ – Strong’s G2887 /Thayer’s Greek Lexicon [blueletterbible.org™]

 Self-explanatory.

Lewdness

Eze 16:27

“Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.” – Ezekiel 16:27

The definition for the word Lewd: in this verse is: “evil device, wickedness’– Strong’s H2154 /Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee  Lexicon [blueletterbible.org™]

Evil device/plan and wickedness should be fairly self-evident. GOD did not hold back discipline from those who practiced evil or wickedness.

Who inherits the Kingdom/Who is outside? – Revelation

 “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.” Rev 22:14,15

 As the Bride of Christ, currently HIS Fiancé how should you act?

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” --2 Corinthians 6:14

 “And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean,And I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:16-17

That would include any sort of pornography whether it is labeled as such but clearly promotes pedophilia, like the video on Netflix.

NOTICE: If you are feeling inclined or feeling led to want Jesus as your Savior, your leader, your King, your source of Peace and Joy but are feeling woefully inadequate, uninformed on how best to get to know HIM, or find yourself at wit’s end because you believe yourself trapped and in need of GOD, please know Jesus stands ready to welcome you with HIS Holy Spirit. Believe these words: “¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “—John 3:16

^“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, ²⁰ and that He may send ^[c]Jesus Christ, who was ^[d]preached to you before, ²¹ whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since ^[e]the world began.” – Acts 3:19-20

 “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” – John 3:3-8
