Labels are not realities! One cannot fight a war on terrorism since terrorism is rooted in situational ethics and relativism. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
According to modern thought, the husband of the virgin Mary in the flesh would be a pedophile. This concept is ludicrous taking into consideration that many cultures provided wives to other males through the patriarchy.
It is culture that redefines the ancient landmarks and thus causes confusion. The confusion is not in the bible but the ego of man causes the confusion by trying to exalt himself by fighting a war of philosophies when the coward cannot fight a war in reality.
The pen is mightier than the sword! Is pedophilia a legal term?
Since pedophilia is situational and not a crime by modern definition but a psychological term the concept itself is cultural and thus based on situation ethics and not the law of God.
Pedophilia by modern day definition would include Joseph in the bible. However when we look at pedophilia under the ancient landmarks of biblical concept and see that young teenage women married older men, we can see that the redefiners and the forbidders have propagated a lie to the masses for their political agenda.
We can also determine by a little study of history that pedophilia in its original definition was an attraction towards prepubescent girls rather than pubescent women. As time progressed and government began to define marriage and take control of the church, this definition of pedophilia began to encompass pubescent marriages to older men. Later, as the political agenda progressed even more, we see the age of consent being raised by law and thus creating an image in the minds of the ignorant masses of an epidemic or pandemic of pedophilia,....under every leaf!
With more fear comes the need for more legislation and thus more empowerment of the Beast. The fact is that according to the biblical ancient landmarks that a father picking a husband for his daughter is totally appropriate as was or is polygamy. However, according to the ancient landmarks by definition, homosexual relationships are an abomination and a wife divorcing her husband was forbidden. We have come full circle in the Beast, calling evil good and good evil.
Brainwashing takes time but the government does a good job of it using the concepts of their religion of secular humanism and the propagation of situation ethics. The government's values are never listed because they change day by day contingent upon emotion, rather than logic. Feelings determine reality for the fallen male and politicians, one and same.
Note that attraction to a pubescent female is totally normal, whereas the scripture teaches that homosexuality is against nature. However the government praises that which is unnatural and condemns that which is natural and even makes it a crime in the minds of the people.
No one likes child abuse but the word "abuse" itself is derived from abnormal and use. What is normal is not always what is biblically acceptable. What is natural is not always spiritual and what is politically correct can be biblically incorrect.
The homosexuals have a good legal argument in stating that homosexual marriage can be accepted by their churches and their religion and therefore the state has no right to dictate to the church what constitutes marriage for them. That is a very good argument.
I would also agree with them on that argument.
That being the case, how can the government impose its values on Warren Jeffs and the polygynists??? Are their religious rights not important? Where is the separation of state and church in that arena? God forbid the FBI might go through the desk of a black man who is a thief and a robber because that is a separation of the powers of the legislative branch from the executive branch! That is a sacred cow. But what about the rights of Warren Jeffs and his religious followers?? Are they to be pushed aside?
In general, where are the rights of any religion to define the family and marriage any more?
Someone once said he that forgets the past is destined to repeat it. Does anyone remember when the alleged child abuse for Koresh was initiated against him? Does anyone remember that he went and ate breakfast right out in the open and no one arrested him for his alleged child abuse?
Instead the federal scumbags decided, like those at the Tower of Babel, to make a name for themselves while causing the deaths of many children and women because that church believed the government was the Beast also.
I also believe the government is the Beast and needs to be monitored. It is 10PM. We need to know where they are at all times and where their families are located also. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Why should they have privacy rights when the population doesn't? The alleged crimes of Warren Jeffs have yet to be proven. I thought one was innocent until proven guilty. I can't wait to see all those graves of buried children with three heads that the liberals say exist because of Warren Jeffs promoting cousin to cousin marriage and promoting incest. Think they can present the evidence?
By the way it is not a sin for a first cousin to marry a first cousin in the bible but for a man to marry a man is an abomination. Good is called evil and evil is called good!
