There are those in the more traditional side of church who advocate that we, "Re interpret" the Bible in light of today's culture. They say, "Times have changed, people have changed, therefore we must change God's word to accommodate the sin of today's society."
Sounds like it makes sense, especially in today's climate of so called tolerance where we must by law, accept everyone for what they are regardless of any violence or depravity associated with them...With 2 notable exceptions: Christians and Pedophiles.
Christians are the most maligned minority group in this or any country. Here in the UK, our government actively bans our national religion. Just try tuning in to a Christian radio station. You can get just about everything else but not Christian.
And what about Pedophiles? Well, they are criminals aren't they, but only because we chose to make them so. Take a case in point: A man has sex with a 14 year old boy and he's branded a Pedophile and hated by everyone, except the Christians. That same man has sex with a 16 year old boy and we are forced by law to accept that as, "An acceptable life style." Heck, they want it taught in our schools as such. Can I hear anyone saying, "Bigot" here? One is a criminal to be reviled, the other gets a round of applause and a pat on the back. Christians treat both equally and get called bigots. what a world we live in!
So, should we re interpret the Bible and make allowances for sin? NEVER. Hey, should we re write the highway code to allow for all those who want to speed, or make shoplifting legal because so many people do it? You judge.

Old Life For New.
Our throw away society has reached new heights of selfishness and new lows in ethics. For a long time now we have had a throw away mentality, but it is gaining momentum.
It started out with packaging and cheap plastic razors and pens, things that are used and then discarded, but it has graduated to people. Yes, we live in a society where we throw away people. Don't believe me? Look up the abortion figures and weep. Every number on that list is a human life thrown away. Simply because a baby hasn't been born yet doesn't make it any less human.
As if that weren't enough, we now create babies to extract stem cells from them so that older humans can live longer. I know the diseases are terrible, but how can it be right that a baby is killed so that another human can live?
The Bible says: "Greater love has no man than he lay down his life for his friend." But that's a reasoned choice. Babies are in no position to make that choice for themselves. How dare we make it for them.
Abortion, Stem cell research, Euthanasia. We are throwing people away!

Who speaks for the innocents?
This is something that has really been on my heart for some time now, let me explain.
In my nation we have a hastily passed law that makes it illegal to say no to homosexuals. That's what it amounts to. They call it an anti discrimination law, but in truth, it's a license for homosexuals to rule the roost, and believe me, they will.
The point in question is the adoption of innocent children by homosexual couples. It came to light because Roman Catholic orphanages complained that such adoptions would be against their principals. Well bully for them. At least they had the bottle to stand up for their principals. Pity about the rest of us who have remained shamefully silent.
For decades heterosexual couples have been turned down for adoption for various reasons. Adoption agencies have been rigourous in their pursuit of good couples to give homes to the kids in their charge. But now, thanks to a bunch of wimps we call our government, who crumple at the first protest from the vociferous minority called the, "Gay Lobby," or any other lobby for that matter, adoption agencies now have no chance of saying no to such wholly unsuitable couples without them crying discrimination. And guess who'll win the argument...
What we have here is a minority group with a loud voice, a religious group with a voice and the government with a pathetic whimper of submission...BUT WHO SPEAKS FOR THE INNOCENTS? The one part of this equation that has no say in its future is the poor kid who gets lumbered with a life with such a couple. What kind of a life can that kid expect? And will they give a little boy to homosexual men? This has to be child abuse.
I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said, "For evil to prosper, it only requires that good men do nothing." We reap what we sow.

Stuck in the queue.
It had been a great weekend, everything had been just about perfect; until the drive home that is...I chose to drive back on the Sunday thinking the traffic would be easier, and in the main it was. The sun was shining and I was fair flying along when I caught sight of one of those motorway signs telling me of impending 'queage' ahead. Junctions 12 and 13 it said, but I was sure I came off at 12 so I carried on regardless.
Saw the same warning several times as I shot along the M40, then, suddenly, there was a knot of cars ahead and lots of brake lights. "Bother," I said out loud, and I was right. We all came to a grinding halt well short of junction 12.
From then on it was 200 yards every hour or so. Funny thing was, just after I hit the queue, the news came on to say the Motorway was closed in both directions. "Blumin typical." Said I.
Seems that some poor bloke had been shot and the police had set up a murder enquiry. The sun was still shining, and my 3 hour drive took almost 7, but hey, at least I did get home in one piece.
