Hello Marelis, good to see you back!
You are right. There is a larger issue than the ordination of women pastors or the acceptance of homosexuality. These are only symptoms of a much more serious problem. When you look at those who support both, you find that they are part of a larger society. And, we can say that most of the time for those that in either group, not all, but most. They have something in common with another larger group, their attitude and understanding of the gospel message and salvation.
When we love God supremely and give Christ the whole heart, we then have the Holy Spirit abiding in the heart. With Him comes the work of His office, leading the converted in to all truth. That is to say they have "spiritual discernment." And, the foundation of Christianity is the gospel message, salvation by grace. Those who are in either the group that is in rebellion against the church by ordaining or supporting those who ordain women pastors, or those who support bringing homosexuals into the church, reveal they have no spiritual discernment. Thus, they are easily deceived as to the plan of salvation and our continual need of Jesus in order to do any good thing.
First Satan deceives as to what it means to be converted, then he brings decoys into the church, then he makes some pastors, then he is able to lead these "Laodiceans" into believing all kinds of heresy. When the Holy Spirit speaks, they ignore, but there is another spirit that they follow. Human wisdom will always fail. There is a way which seemeth right, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Ask those who belong in either of the two groups, if they believe they retain salvation when they commit a known sin. The wages of one sin is spiritual and everlasting death unless there is repentance. This is a foreign thought to those in these two groups. If any do not understand this and are not part of those two groups, listen to God's warning to Eve, then listen to what Satan said to her, his great lie which continues on today. Read Ezekiel chapters 3, 18, and 33 the message given to the prophet to given to Israel who was to take it to the world. Here is one of the three statements (all say the same thing): "Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it." Ezekiel 33:12,13.
Our only hope in Christ. We must become partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). When surrender the whole heart, then His representative the Holy Spirit takes possession of the heart and brings with Him every one of the fruits of the Spirit and empowers repentant man to keep the law of God. This relationship with Christ must be maintained in order that we have power to resist all temptations to sin. Christ promises us He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, but this is a conditional promise. It is only for those who love Jesus supremely and abide in Him and He in them. This is foreign to those we find in those two groups because they are not following the Word and Spirit of God. They lack spiritual discernment.
