you're forgetting that Jesus Christ predicted the moral decay of the last days and used the publically accepted sin of homosexuality in Lot's day as his example:

"As it was in the days of Lot, even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed" (Luke 17:29-30)

Or do you think it is merely purely coincidental that Lot was publically jeered for rejecting the vile passions of his day?

So, yes, we understand the trend and where it will end.  And we don't see the rejection of our message as a failure on our part, rather we understand it's just the way of the world and we understand the world also rejected the message of Christ.

So, we'll continue to fight the good fight, so that in the end we will be able to stand in the day of his reappearance.

yes, I know truth is alien to you...but are you questioning the premise that it will become publically acceptable?

Yes.  But we'd also have to have rampant incest and a lack of hospitality in order it to be fully "days of Lot."  I guess that's West Virginia's contribution to the end days.

A big problem with your theory is we have this entire planet.  Even if homosexuality becomes publicly acceptable in the United States, we aren't "in the days of Lot" until it reaches that level in Uganda and Peru and Singapore and every other nook and corner of the planet.   It's not publicly acceptable on Earth and might not be for several more centuries.

Socially conservative societies will tend towards demographic growth, while socially liberal societies will tend towards demographic decline. As a result, over time, the pool of immigrants will be more socially conservative every generation. We are witnessing, more or less, demographic transformation occuring in Israel and Turkey right now as the more socially conservative religious elements reproduce faster than secular folk.

On life, the pro-life either win by winning, or win by losing. A research study in Australian demonstrated that genetics plays a role in shaping ones attitude towards abortion. Those with genes more favorable to abortion will, eventually, abort themselves out of the gene pool. As long as abortion is legal, the genetic propensity towards being pro-life will increase every generation.

Your hypothesis relies on Darwinian natural selection to be true, you know.


No.

Yes.  Yes.
