How far removed is America from God? Obama has changed things in seven years. America elected him twice. The Democrats have succeeded in destroying what God had raised up. Yes, the Republicans have participated, but not to the degree the Democrats have. They hate God, His Word, and the US Constitution.
Ash Carter, Secretary of Defense ordered the U.S. military to place women in all combat roles. Gender barriers will no longer protect our daughters or our wives.
"As long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before." "They'll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars, and lead infantry soldiers into combat. They'll be able to serve as Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALS, Marine Corps infantry, Air Force parajumpers and everything else that was previously open only to men." sourceObama said this will "make our military even stronger."
The NAD and the TED have played a part in this. Religion is the foundation of morality. God's church has been seen to support this role for women. We have kept most of the difficult matters where there is contention in the church private, but in the case of this rebellion against the church by making women rulers over men, we have made our discussion public so the world would have an opportunity to know God, the Bible, and the Seventh-day Adventist world church do not participate in this abomination. Europe, Canada, America, and Australia have allowed the world to come into the church and thus we see what the Sabbath School lesson is pointing out this week, how powerful the prevailing culture can be and impact God's church. We saw it in Jeremiah's day, and now we see it in our day.
Yes, there is division in the church. Where it will lead, we do not know. But, we do know the organized Seventh-day Adventist Church will survive. Many will be sifted out, and many more will take their place. As Mimi has stated these women and men will "reap the whirlwind they have created."
