Isaiah 5:20 NKJV

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!


What are some examples in our world today of people calling evil good and good evil?

LBGTQP is called good. Christians are called intolerant and hateful.

Well, for “starters,” “God saw all that he had made (including male and female), and it was very good.”… (Genesis 1:31)

So what’s up with gender-change surgeries? Definitely…. Calling something evil good.

US citizens who refuse to submit to an unproven and potentially dangerous vaccine are now referred by the government as domestic terrorist.

Yes…. And the “domestic terrorism” label is even applied to parents concerned about what their children are being taught in school.

This is known by another name that Jesus coined...
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

God is the author and Creator of all that is good.
Man is the author and creator of all that is evil.
I can readily point to the Genesis account to show that. So I really don't need to repeat that.

But it's a real thing...look at the guys in Matthew who Jesus said did all kinds of things for God but God said "Depart from me you doers of iniquity, I never knew you." Iniquity is different than regular sins...it's an identifying attitude and manner of regularly sinning that you are a slave to.

Meaning that, to some people, they say that everything under the sun is evil. They never find anything good in day-to-day life activities by anyone except for themselves.
AKA self righteousness.

To be proud of lewdness, sexual immorality.
To esteem yourself higher because of race or gender.
By denying God to make your own self rightous.
Trusting in man instead of God.
Promoting works instead of faith.
Declaring self "I wills" instead of by God's will.
Promoting differences as hate.

The spirit of anti christ has launched it's campaign against all that is good and holy and has caused God's wrath to kindle against his enemies.
The wickedness is in the heart of man revealed for all to see.
The calling of God's people has begun but who will answer the call?
Peace is not the absence of war but the exceptance of it.
For we fight not against flesh but against evil spirits of darkness.

Today - the clear example is injecting children with unknown/unproven experimental chemicals an calling it 'good'.

Unknown because they are not required to provide the exact contents, and even that which they do reveal is not health producing for our bodies, especially children.

They do this in clear violation of the Nuremberg Code - and they call this evil = good.

Amen, folks….and when God says “WOE,” He is giving us a definite warning call. This world has turned upside down! and the devil, who is roaring like a lion, is laughing his head off because he (Satan) is the personification of EVIL. Satan is the nemesis of everything good.

1 Peter 5:8

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

It’s getting pretty evident in these latter days that conservative values are considered outdated. Today, same-sex marriage is considered moral. Are you kidding me?

The world is experiencing full blown satanism = "did God really say"
It has been methodically and steadily propagated from Hollywood, the Music Industry and Sexual Rebellion.

These three combined themselves in an orgy and produced the offspring that are ripe for the coming wrath.

The falling away as spoken in 2 Thessalonians 2 has been in full swing for some time now.
Just as you said: same sex marriage embraced in churches/christainity = the falling away.

What have they fallen away from while still maintaining an facade of christianity???

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

And let us not neglect to recognize when we ourselves are guilty of trying to “legalize” something God condemns…. For example, gossip. We should beware of phrases like “I’m only telling you this so that you can pray for Sally. Keep it quiet. She told me in confidence.” We should neither speak words like this nor listen to them. NOT good.

I remember when homosexuals were put in jail and dishonorably discharged from the military...they were dumped by ship into the ports of San Francisco and New Orleans and Pensacola and I'm trying to remember the other one.

But at any rate...these "dumping grounds" became popular for homosexual communities. These men couldn't go home with a dishonorable discharge...or explain why they were discharged...they were once ashamed.

I remember when they decriminalized it...these people just wanted tolerance...but now they have acceptance (somewhat) and are demanding promotion over and above anyone/anything else.
As was clearly stated by Paul in Romans. He said what was coming and everyone ignored it.

Same thing happened with abortion...it was supposed to be about saving a woman's life and for those instances of rape and incest to reduce birth defects and miserable lives. Now it's abortion on demand and a form of birth control...the fetal parts are sold off by planned Parenthood...and if you are a woman who has gotten an abortion you are supposed to be smart making good choices but meanwhile those "small minded individuals" who don't raise a transgender child and use corporal punishment should be buried under the prison.
(Murder is good but discipline is bad?)

Its like when children dress up as monsters, vampires and witches on Halloween and their parents and adults call them so cute.

Then they give them candy.

Um what is that?

Within limits and understanding and supervision it used to be called "fun".

But today the number of trick or treat kids has evaporated. Very few do it anymore. I set up a bowl by the door and eat the candy myself.

From what I understand most kids dress up and go to a party and get treat bags. *Sigh*

fun for kids, but deadly for adults

its ok for kids to dress up, but if an adult does it, its like a xx rated show. Oh but its fun.

also, drugs are 'fun' too. Lollies and candy are the childs version of grown up drugs.

I have never participated in or seen anything like what you are describing.

My family has always steered clear of those sorts of people. We ran around the neighborhood dressed like indians or ghosts and got candy or went to a function at church and got candy and junk food there. Fun stuff when the "Mad Scientist" in the house of horrors at church in the Sunday School building was my mother pretending to be his assistant and a friend from the youth group was the poor subject he was operating on pleading for help.
(The associate pastor was the mad scientist).

And I let my son do similar things when he could walk. He never really liked candy that much. So I ate what I wanted of it.

My son didn't get anywhere near that fun...it was relegated to carnivals at church by the time he was in grade school.
