1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will
come.2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful,
arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving,
irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters
of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have
denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6For among them are those who
enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins,
led on by various impulses, 7always learning and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,
so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in
regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress; for their
folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was
also. 2 Timothy 3:1-9 NASB
It is interesting when we come to the word "unloving" in this text. The Greek is more accurately translated, "without natural affection." What this means is that the kind of love many will have is not NATURAL but UNNATURAL. Instead of parents and others loving their children and caring for them, these people want to exploit
the children sexually, ie unnatural affection. There is no love in
child pornography or child molestation, it is driven by a twisted mind
that craves sexual fulfillment in ways that God forbids.
My
opinion on child molestation is that when found guilty two things
should happen" 1. at least a 25 year prison term without parole and 2.
chemical sterilization so that they will not harm another child when
they get out. There is nothing cruel about this, the cruelty is the
devastating affect on the child. I read an article some years ago by a
doctor in New York who did a ten year research project on molested
children. Her conclusion was that "the children are murdered morally and
spiritually." She was not a Christian so her conclusions were not from a
biblical perspective.
Folks, especially those who live in
California, this attack on innocent children must stop. It is time for
Californians and others to register and vote in the upcoming election.
Those who promote homosexual rights and the lowering of the age of
consent must be voted out of office and those elected must remove these
laws from the books. This goes for heterosexuals as well.
But will you??? I truly hope so. I certainly will, and I will do it without an ounce of hatred for the person.
