While growing up, when I sat under fire and brimstone preachers, there were many words of wisdom coming from the pulpit. One that echoed back today louder than ever concerned the passage I Timothy 4:3. The passage talks about the coming apostasy. During that future (?) time they will be preaching "Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth". I did not fully comprehend the passage at the time. Now I do. In two recent stories from England, these things are coming to pass.Forbidding to marry Abstain from meat It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots on this one. The land that gave us Spurgeon, how now given us some really way out policies. These would have seemed ludicrous to me as a youngin’, but now that I am older and see it occurring, I understand what Paul was saying in I Timothy.

I mentioned the agrarian lifestyle in previous post. With an agrarian lifestyle and good stewardship, we would eat plenty of meat. We would also be the husband to one wife and the wife of one husband. These are things that should go without saying, but in today’s culture such assumptions are no longer "common sense". (BTW-Common Sense was a term originated by the Scots to address the common morality that society should operate by). These are just some observations of today’s culture and where it fits in with the south and the Bible.

On reading such articles, it makes me wonder if we all need to go around with signs that say "Repent!". Although the trends in England are laughed at now, there will probably be some Hollywood personality or politician that thinks that those items are wonderful ideas and try to implement them here.

The very thinking that forbidding meat will reduce global warming is a sham. Global warming is a sham and if those academics bothered looking at the data, they would see so as well. But, there has never been a politician who is willing to pass up an opportunity to grab some more power at the people’s expense. It was those blasted English who gave the Yankee’s their arrogance in the first place.

Free Dixie, Not Iraq!
