Everyone is held accountable for their actions, and everyone needs to know that if they do not, yes. However, God instructs the harvesters to allow the tares to grow alongside the wheat until the harvest, when everything will be accounted for as the sorting of the faithful and the unbelieving commences.

This pertains to the destruction of Jerusalem.

A tare at least looks like wheat, they have a form of godliness, they're a good imitation. A homosexual man married to another man and who actively promotes this isn't a tare, he's the enemy. Nowhere is the body of Christ taught to tolerate unrepentant sexual perverts in its midst.

I had already read about Season 3 being about the viewpoints of the Disciples figuring out some things, including their own roles as Jesus taught them, and sent them out, and they were also going through serious personal problems. God is walking beside you, but still my Mom is sick. Well, we see here, it's all about God and His Timing. We see favoritism because the Disciples follow Christ, but also see God making them go through life like we all have to do. I think this will also allow them to focus on Judas and start setting him up as the enemy within the circle.

Just so I can understand by comparison, what is the Old World Order?
Old world order is one where individual states (countries) especially western democracies, governed in the best interests of THEIR citizens, and were, for the most part, duly elected by that citizenry to facilitate the best interests of that individual Nation. They also loosely adhered to a capitalist system, which allowed for the greatest growth in overall wealth the world has ever seen.

As opposed to a New World Order, where countries are losing more and more of their individual rights, to a Global governance, run by puppet officials, controlled by a Global elite cabal, or several cabals, such as the WEF, WHO, World Bank, U.N. etcetera. These elites are using unbelievably sophisticated methods to usher in a form of Global Marxism.

Most notably, the cultural destruction of the west with things just like what we're talking about here. Making perversion seem normal, and decency hateful and abnormal.

Hope that definition answers your question.

So who the enemy is is not a matter of opinion as you said just yesterday???
Who exactly is the enemy is a matter of opinion.
Watching people blow in the wind and vacillate back and forth...

Saying one thing one day and then saying something completely different the next.

I did point out in response to your post that the enemy is not simply a matter of opinion, but Scripture.

That's the thing, someone's life does not do a complete 180 unless it is actually God, especially, in the realm of someone who spent a lifetime finding reasons to Deny God!

God brought this Actor to join this Cast and as a result, got Saved!

Geeeez, imagine what God can do for the blinded people who see only doom and gloom?

Ok, excommunicate all of them and this should eradicate any thought or tendency toward homosexuality. But, I'm secure enough that I have no fear of 'contamination.' If you or anyone else are vulnerable to 'turn' gay because you worked with a gay guy... we'd need to shut down all businesses.

Normal things are debatable, since the term is subjective, although that is not the case with common things. With the US being barely 200 years old, it can be argued that it initiated a new world order, especially since it was regarded as the 'new world.' So it seems to me that things have only reverted back to old world constructs in the process of time, however small the timeframe, which is consistent with the natural course of atrophy.

So, that approach is, apparently, a failure in an experiment to establish new norms. It didn't work so, it would seem to me that a new strategy is in order, one that actually works. I'm sure that guidance has been provided, somewhere, in the bible. It may be found, perhaps, in the context of "What if God, wanting to exhibit his glory...suffered long with..." Idk. At any rate, I'm not at all concerned that the enemy will ultimately "win," or take over the earth, in any degree. That permanent city, whether it was established then, or is yet to break ground, is promised to His people.

Old World Order began:
after Tower of Babel:

Deaut 32:

8 The Most High assigned nations their lands;
he determined where peoples should live by the number of the sons of God.
He assigned to each nation a heavenly being,
9 but Jacob's descendants he chose for himself.


New World Order will be led by Satan.

I might as well be speaking Japanese if you're going to misinterpret my message. God must've allowed it, because he didn't place you, or anyone with your similar mindset, on the set to rip it up before it happened to be recorded. And this discussion is one of the results of it.

Heads need to cool down in this thread. I am only taking you at your word and you were pretty strong in what you said. Now it seems you're God allowed the flag to be there. If I am mistaking you, then please clarify.

It was a rhetorical question. Satan has been leading this world all along by telling mankind "What" to think. It was not until I was thought "how" to think that his control over my thinking was totally disrupted. And if Satan can no longer suggest to me that which I should think, neither can any worm assailable man.

The point is God can use anything and turn it for good. But we don't have to right to go out and do evil so good may come. Ends don't justify means.

Yes, I agree God can use anything and turn it for good. I agree with the whole comment. I'm just rather stunned at the reactions in this thread. As I made a point with the Passion of the Christ. I haven't watched the Chosen but I tried to draw a line between the two. Mel Gibson is Catholic, old time Catholic at that, and has some old time feelings about the Jews. The man that played Jesus, Jim Caviezel is a Catholic also, and I believe very sincere. So I'm not saying the Chosen can't reach people. I'm just saying the reaction to the LGB whatever flag should have been handled differently.
