I don't things could get much worse. Intentionally trying to indoctrinate children to sexual perversions of every kind. This is almost as low as can get in my estimation.

Imperfect but forgiven
It's the whole of humanity that will see the wrath of God. America is a dark place now, but evil covers the globe (the world is a dark place now), America doesn't have a lock on it.

Also, God will never need to "apologize" to anyone.

I actually DO remember that one, just forgot which part of the Bible it was in. It also traumatized me. A lot of the Bible, especially the Old Testament would legit make good fodder for horror movies.

I think that there is a LOT going on under the surface that we don't even know exists, and if we saw these things we would be horrified beyond belief. The child sex slavery in Thailand and other places. The things going on in the "dark web." Perverse acts being carried out on video chat. And children born, tortured and killed for the purpose of satanic worship and/or perversion who live out their entire short lives never even seeing the light of day.
I agree with the member above. We're beyond Sodom & G now.

Can you imagine what this place will be like once the Restrainer is gone? It's unthinkable.

I’m glad I won’t be here to see it. I wish I wasn’t here seeing the evil here now.

I googled this too, and per Fox News the classes will be held AT her sex shop
unbelievable that she can get away with this. If not for the immorality, how about the conflict of interest at least, as its her shop? (Ridiculous that I'm even saying this!!!)If I lived there I would organize a protest on the street in front of her shop, STAT.

I know the Bible says in Revelation that the Tribulation will be the worst time that has ever been or ever will be, but seeing what we are seeing now? My goodness, I can’t even wrap my head around how bad it’s truly going to get. I praise your Holy name Lord Jesus, so grateful we will not experience it.

Lol I was just thinking the same. I don't see hordes of men in a town or city going around to demand they rape new visitors. Thank God that's not a thing. I wonder if such a thing happens in some Middle Eastern area. They seem to justify pedophilia and rape.

I would still rather lose my business than get ganged raped by a city full of men. That's just me though.
Men trying to get pregnant, men marrying men, women marrying women, homosexual pastors, abortion and the uproar of the SCOTUS ruling on Roe v Wade (long overdue), sexual immorality, opposition to anything Christian, violence, our own government trying to make our nation fall into famine, recession, the green deal, ANTIFA, BLM, division of the masses by politicians who worship Satan and can’t get enough power or money, the lefts‘ absolute abandonment of any good thing or any common sense, their push for a one world government, open borders, population control, outright godlessness, the falling away of the Church, I know there’s a lot more ……..
After reading your list (Bethlehem57) of all the depravity around us it kind of hit me that perhaps we don't really realize how close we are because it starts out slow and then rapidly accelerates and our minds can't grasp it all. We hear about it, read about it, watch it on TV, but we really don't experience it first hand. It's almost like it's happening in some other place, but not in my neighborhood. Lot didn't have social media, TV or the Internet so he saw it up close and personal.
It's like that story about putting a frog in a pot of water and then slowly turning up the heat. The frog doesn't realize he's boiling until it's too late. This wickedness in our country has been going on for a long time, but now we are seeing the fruits of what was sown and the water is still boiling!

I think we’re beyond Lot, too. Because we have technology now which can be used to create and promote, far and wide, all kinds of sexual wickedness. Technology has always been a double edged sword which could be used for both good or evil.

We could probably liken it to God showings Ezekiel a vision of what the priests in Israel were *really* indulging in behind the scenes.

I think we should remember though
Lot was the only godly man in Sodom.
Not much of a salty restraint for that area. The world today has many Christians that they Holy Sprit is working though to restrain certain depths of evil in broad daylight.

Dr. Andy Woods has some excellent teachings about Genesis. I think it is around episode 30, he begins teaching on Noah and the flood. It may help answer your questions.
A different perspective on what could have been the motivation for Lots actions.
Question: Can you help me understand why Lot and his daughters were considered righteous? First, he offers his daughters as potential rape victims to the Sodomites, then later on his daughters seduce their own father.
Answer:I believe the Bible only describes Lot as being righteous (2 peter 2:7) not his daughters. That said, the customs of the day required that having invited the two angels into his house, he and his family became responsible for their safety, and were bound to protect them (Genesis 19:8). As outrageous as this sounds to us, offering his daughters to the men would have been preferable to putting the lives of his guests at risk. Also the fact that Lot was so insistent that they spend the night at his house and went to such extremes to protect them may indicate that he had some idea of who they really were.And Genesis 19:33,35 indicates that Lot was drunk and didn’t realize what his daughters had done when they tricked him into impregnating them.
But irrespective of these things Lot was like the rest of us. His righteousness was imputed to him by faith. Otherwise, the Lord would not have been obligated to save him based on His prior discussion with Abraham, who had only asked for mercy on behalf of the righteous.

I am aware that this is happening underground. Yet that is the key difference. This is not happening out in the open where the majority of people are encouraging this or demanding this as acceptable as in the story of Lot. Very different environments.

I still struggle mightily to understand how Lot was considered righteous by God, when he offered up his daughters to be gang raped.
