The Case for the Reprobate Mind

 
 




Everywhere I look, I see madness, mayhem and violence.  The minds of a vast portion of humanity seems to be frozen, with icy jagged edges unable to reason.  Jesus told us that when He returned, the earth would be filled with these things. 

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

We are given a description of the reprobate mind in Romans 1:29-32.  I am listing the markers of a reprobate mind below.  The list starts off with the statement "Being filled with all . . .

  • unrighteousness
  • fornication
  • wickedness
  • covetousness
  • maliciousness
  • full of envy
  • murder
  • debate
  • deceit
  • malignity
  • whisperers
  • backbiters
  • haters of God
  • despiteful
  • proud
  • boasters
  • inventors of evil things
  • disobedient to parents
  • without understanding
  • covenant breakers
  • without natural affection
  • implacable
  • unmerciful
And the list is finished off with the following verse

Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.

And what makes a mind reprobate?  Those who do the following:

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

Never have I seen mankind worshipping and serving the creation more than I do now.  Humanity has become so selfish and self-serving it is almost beyond comprehension.

We have a new President in the USA.  This election cycle has been the most vitriolic in American History.  There has been unbelievable maliciousness and viciousness.  In large suburban areas you hardly saw any political posters indicating the candidate who would receive your vote.  Why?  There was a real and honest fear of having your property vandalized, destroyed or being viciously attacked by the opposing party.  The majority of those deeds were committed by those on the far left.

The final two candidates, to the horror of decent Americans, had so much dirt and sleaze attributed to them that it was hard for many to go out and vote for either. 

Now that our President has been sworn into office the violence and protests continue, even overseas.  The world has reached a new level of insanity with the simple election of Donald J. Trump to the American Presidency.  I don't recall any President being so publically attacked and threatened by so many with personal harm to him and his family.  I can only hope that as many as possible will be arrested.

We are a country divided and that division does not seem to be going away anytime soon.

In this modern time, the USA has been one of the main purveyors of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the World.  Who knows how many bibles and missionaries have been sent from this country to the pagan world?  But we have also been the main purveyors of evil to the entire world through the works of Hollywood.

From children to the elderly evil is afoot everywhere.  It used to not be so.  Yes, there has always been evil, but it was evil that was hidden behind closed doors in fear that the evildoer would be found out and brought to justice.  Now the evil is shouted from the rooftops, published on every social media available, shoved in the faces of societies everywhere.

All of creation is groaning for redemption.  The earth is shaking, heaving, erupting, collapsing, roaring.  Meteors, coronal mass ejections, energy waves from outer space are bombarding the earth.  Animals of every kind are dying off in MASS deaths.  Economies, societies, countries are collapsing at an unbelievable rate.  Morals and manners seem to be a thing of the past.  Women have no problem paying or demanding that governments pay to have their own flesh and blood heinously dismembered and suctioned out of their own bodies.  Children are cruel and murderous to other children.  Humanity is unbelievably cruel and merciless to animals.  Everywhere I look there is nothing but chaos.

I sit here today and wonder how much longer the Lord God Almighty will allow these things to continue.  How much longer before the Wrath of the Creator of the Universe will fall on this planet?

Surely, the evidence for the reprobate minds occupying the earth is overwhelming and indicates that the coming of Jesus Christ is surely on the Horizon.

Entering the Gates and Courts of God

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Where are the gates and courts of God? When I was a young woman we used to sing this Psalm during praise and worship. It was such a wonderful experience to sing God's word back to Him. So, all my life I thought that the gates and courts of God were in a heavenly place and that spiritually speaking I would enter to praise and make supplication/pray to God. Lately, though I have gotten into the habit of saying that 4th verse of the 100th Psalm before my personal devotions and prayer time. Then I begin to ponde

Pact with the Devil? Null and Void!! How?

Image
Have you made a pact with the Devil? Now you have decided you really don't want to forfeit your immortal soul for temporary things. The old adage you can't take it with you when you go has become up close and personal. The truth is you are an eternal being and no, you can't take it with you when you go. Maybe whatever it is you traded your soul for has turned to ash in your mouth and a burden on your existence. Perhaps you were convinced that there would never be a way out for you. There is a way out and that is the discussion of this blog. First, you must understand what you were dealing with when you made your pact. Satan or an agent of Satan, whether human or a non-human entity, would probably have been the conduit through which your pact was made. The Bible is very clear on one thing Satan is a liar. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your fahter ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be

What is in a name? "Twilight's" name game.

Everything! The meaning of my name truly personifies me. I always like to arrange the meanings of names into a cohesive thought which by neccessity sometimes takes the name out of it's given order. Fortunate but bitter rope that constrains would be the cohesive meaning for my given names but it is in reverse order with my surname, middle name and first name last. So what is in the name Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Edward is translated rich guard and while there was no clear meaning for Anthony the best I could find was flourishing. Masen is another spelling for Mason which means stone worker. Masons are actually a society of people with esoteric practices known only to its members. The true meanings of those practices are known only to the highest of initiates. Masons could also be considered the architects then of not only the buildings they built but the symbols that are dispersed throughout those structures. Cullen was in and of itself an enigma with the meaning ranging
