"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?”

Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25

We quole excerpts from a letter received from a young lady-AND 1 MEAN LADY from over in Alabama:

"I am a sixteen year old girl who reads your column every week in our local newspaper. It does me good to see someone who is strong and sure in his Christian faith to write such straight-forward articles In a time when the world has suddenly become so "free" and lenient. In this letter, I'd like to show my reverence, fear and love in God and His Laws.

"I hardly know where to start. I guess the best way to start is to state the topic of my letter. sex. That's not surprising when you consider that that's about all that anyone talks about these days. First, let me say lam nota"prude."In fact, I consider myself a liberalBaplist, I am fed up and liferally enraged at the events taking place in our world.

*Today, sex seėms to be some kind of idol that demands worship.No longer is sex a private, personal gift from God. It is displayed and exhibited everywhere a person turns. Today, the young people say they have sexual "freedom." What they need to realize is that this "freedom" is really the enslaving bonds of the devil.

"Young people no longer respect, fear, or obey God's rules concernIng sex. They insist that as long as they are sincere, pre-marital sex is a beautiful experience. And society is beginning to condone it. Today, people say that marriage is a terrible thing which destroys that relationship they have and marriage is not necessary. They feel that if they live together before, their marriage will be better. Sure, marriage is rough sometimes. But God will help if people will obey Him and ask Him. If I remember correctly, God gave us marriage for the purpose that a couple could avoid fomication. Today the true, sacred meaning of marriage has been disregarded, because it is "irrevelant.” To me, sex belore marriage is sin, and no beautiful gentle words can mask that fact.

“And today, homosexuals are being treated like "heroes.” I heard a man on the television claim that just because a person is a homosexual, that doesn't mean that he can't be a Christian; in fact, many homosexuals are professed Christians. Where does this man get his scripture to support his views? I get mine from Leviticus 20:13: "I a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” With these words, I will drop dead in my tracks before I'll respect one of these people."

The young lady then comments quite a bit on the "movies." Have to say it has been so many years since I have been to one, I am not in a position to comment.

"It is my opinion that all this sexual"freedom," "honest" movies, and "beautiful" rock festivals is part of a plan to ruin our country. By making claims that certain "abominations” are now all right, and doing them, and then calling themselves the children of God, Communists are persuading others to fall into the devil's hands. I only hope that my fellow citizens will realize God's laws and obey them.

"Thank you for taking time to consider my views. Sincerely, Name Signed."

"WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH!" It appears that God has touched the heart of this young girl and given her a True Vision of the Curse of Sex Corruption that has destroyed in the past multitudes of nations and civilizations; and now has brought our nation mighty low. Would God that the rulers of our religious lite, educational life, political life, business life, and all life had the vision granted this young lady! Where is that verse of Scripture have forgotten where it is and will not stop to look it up now — 1 that says. "AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM!” This is the tenth month in this year 1976 and this column calls attention to what God says in Deuteronomy 17:18-20: "Get yourself a Bible, keep it with you. Read it all the days of your life that you may learn to fear the Lord your God and keep pride out of your heart causing you to think you are better, than your brethren; to keep you from tuming to the right hand or to the left from His Commandments and Statutes, to the end you and your children might live a long life and a blessed life in the land God gives you." 3

The young lady's letter inspires the writer to call attention to many, many Scriptures that support her position. Permit one further comment in spite of the corruption every way one looks, she hears what God says în Leviticus 20:13: “If a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall surely be upon them!" NOTE THE REACTION OF THE GIRL'S FAITH; WITH THESE WORDS I WILL DROP DEAD IN MY TRACKS BEFORE I WILL RESPECT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE!”

Don't forget that The Gentle Jesus Christ made a whip of cords and lashed some folks put of His Father's House; and in Matthew 23rd chapter He called some others fools and blind. "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers. How can ye escape the damnation of Hell!"
