Very few are concerned when God's people are persecuted or put to death. Nothing new under the sun.

“Pope Benedict talks a lot about secularism in Europe. He would see Christianity, and Catholicism specifically, as in conflict with it. Ireland, meanwhile, is in ferment with the Catholic Church in disarray and an enormous amount of the population looking for answers elsewhere,” he said.

Father Flannery says worries about the Pope's conservative agenda may be overstated: “I don’t think Pope Benedict is having any great influence. The Catholic church is quite weak across Europe.”

.. the Titus verse means older, as in years. We might assume there to be a maturity that derives from aging,... These are not maturity levels, but years. Titus has been instructed to speak to them all "of the things which become sound doctrine."

After reading this article, recalling something else I read here in one of the threads; then while realizing that both were occurring this past weekend in the UK; I will say this
that the Roman Republic in all its many faces, is alive and well and as dangerous as ever. Anyone who is not aware of the subtleties of the serpent should be warned before they need to encounter the wrath of the dragon. Familiarity with Scripture and Historic Testimony will be very helpful.

But in essence, he did say that the lack of subjection to God's ordained authorities demonstrated by a woman in her 'shamefacedness' 1 Tim. 2:9 (Strongs G127 a sense of shame or honour, modesty, bashfulness, reverence, regard for others, respect) would in time lead to an unbecoming boldness and impropriety in their dress.

"In fact, many conspiracy theories surrounding cabals hint at an anti-Semitic worldview.
From [URL=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13682082]]]BBC News article on "Bilderberg Group"[/URL]

"cabal: To unite in a small party to promote views by intrigue; to unite in secret artifices to effect some design."

The poster is not referring to the article, no hint of anti-Semitic world view there. These comments seem directed at the mixture of truth and error now common to all nations (and evidenced by the multiplicity of dialogs and arguments here) that have a vast variety of cabals; who then together try to form a government. Confusion reigns.

Also,it stated "Our congregation has made a decision to engage with people creating hybrid identities out of Judaism and other sources... Over the doors of our building, are etched the words of the prophet Isaiah: “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people” (Isaiah 56:7). We take this seriously.

This would seem to suggest that abortion is the only evil that state acknowledges at this time. In recent posts here, it has been a general consensus that the family planning of PP was contrary to the Scripture and therefore wrong. I can guarantee that I could go on to tell you way everything they do is contrary to the Scripture.

But again I stress, though these are serious 2nd table of the Moral Law violations, man against man. These are not to be compared with first table violations against God. The states are pretty silent about that. They have to be. If we will not admit as a nation that we are not atheists nor polytheistic pagans; then in reality we are. This is contrary to the whole of Scripture. See Matt.10:32-34; Romans 12:3-5 for starters.
