I was Doug’s camp counselor; he was my FAVORITE seventh grader. Now he is the meanest radical out there. He insults not only me, but was rude to my mom on Facebook—whom he has known his ENTIRE life. I try to laugh with him, but it’s hard.
I once shared a comical story online about a female student who very obviously would not hold the elevator for me at UH, and yet I arrived to the classroom long before she did. She was late, in fact. It was a funny, innocent story. But Doug blasted me, because as a male professor, I am PRIVILEGED, while the female student is powerless. How dare I expect her to arrive on time!
False doctrine is a CANCER that will destroy joy—and relationships.
“After my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. And men will rise up from your own family with deviant doctrines to lure disciples into following them. Beware!” Acts 20:29-30.
When angels visited Lot, “the men of Sodom surrounded the house, young and old, from all over town, and called to Lot: ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sex with them” Genesis 19:5. Lot discouraged them, even offering his daughters, but the men were determined to sodomize these angels who had appeared in the form of men. This was not about children. Neither women nor children would satisfy these aggressors: they were obsessed with man-flesh. So God destroyed them: “the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned up those cities and the surrounding area and everything that grew on the ground” Genesis 19:24-25.
If you were God, what more could you do to make the rules clear?
Knowing the facts of this story about angels disguised as men, those who argue God destroyed Sodom because the people were pedophiles have rebelled against God by placing their own opinion above the authority of His word. The men of the city did not come out to commit ‘pederasty’ by attacking little boys. And those who say they did are promoting the deviant doctrine of savage wolves as described in Acts 20:29.
