As We Careen Down the Slippery Slope

After 17 seasons. Is it any surprise that Hg TV now features a throwable stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH paradigm is Dr. Michael Brown, a friends, this is Michael Graham taking calls today. If you watching YouTube or Facebook. You see that we are audio only got a lot of content to cover.

We want to talk about this slope in America talk about how people are often more ready to believe why, rather than believe the truth sit back and take in today's broadcast. I believe you'll find it eye-opening and hopefully impacting for the glory of the Lord. Okay, so Hg TV has a show you've got a married couple that got two kids but down. They've added in another gal. So, it's mom dad and another one and they are now eight trouble and people magazine reported every 13 to 17 seasons under its belt house hunters has made HDTV history on Wednesday when it featured its first throwable three people in a polyamorous romantic relationship on one of its episodes. It was titled threes not a crowd in Colorado Springs and featured one line in which one of the two women. Then Lori commented this is a couples kitchen, not a throwable's kitchen now as I was typing out an article about this every time I type throwable my spellchecker highlighted the words underlined it read to say there's no such word spelled like that. Give it a little time.

Soon enough, throwable will be a fully accepted word across all of the spelling platforms.

In other words, polyamory is now as American as apple pie that now here's here's the deal. This what I want you to hear friends. We when I say we I mean social conservatives. I mean Bible believers mean others who have this moral conscience even saying this was coming for years and, in fact, as I review things to be honest the only surprise is that it took this long. Took this long to be more normalized took this long to be more mainstreamed.

Got a couple with children they meet this other gal they could fall in love with her the bar that they aired her into the equation. They have a commitment ceremony in the presence of the children. Now HDTV is just hate normalizing this so I want to point something out this go back to my 2011 book a queer thing happen to America right and I have a section 1 of the chapters queer semantics. I have a section from polygamy to polyamory intragenerational intimacy now. I should point out that Utah the state of Utah is now talking about removing restrictions against polygamy. But why not if marriage could be so radically redefines that you take out the opposite sex something.

Think of his friends.

It's like saying a duet can have one singer or three singers or twins could be one baby or three babies your fundamentally changing the meaning of the word. The concept marriage without including a member of the opposite sex has never been marriage but now it's been so radically redefines well why not just a little further. Why not I mean if marriage is not the unique union of two people one man and one woman.

If it is not that unique union, joining the two sexes together and as the norm with the biological possibility of reproduction to John join a child from mother and a father, then why can't marriage be three people or six people or one person and all my interaction with LGBT activists and allies with the debate I did with Prof. X more social media interaction with other interaction I've never yet had one person in LGBT activist or ally ever had one person ever tell me why.

If marriage is not the union of one man and one woman. It must have two people why to what's magic about the number two so here's what I wrote in 2011. Would polygamy filled with negative connotations in our culture is now being replaced by polyamory defined as quote the practice of having more than one loving relationship.

At the same time the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved.

The relationships are long-term intimate and usually but not necessarily sexual persons who consider themselves emotionally suited to such relationships may define themselves as polyamorous offered abbreviated to poly that I wrote.

Until recently, polyamory had a different name adultery but the more just get all the parties involved to agree to new relationships really out of jealousy stuff is so outmoded and be poly which rhymes with Jolly instead. Here's from a book critic after America came in 2011. Not surprisingly, polyamory group, sometimes marching Gay pride events part and parcel of the sexual liberation Vanguard effect in 2004 poly Abbey polyamory advocate Jasmine Walston stated, we are where the gay rights movement was 30 years ago so she said this in 2004. She was wrong 20 years 10 years and in other will. In other words, she will hang on the levy analyzes 2004.

She said we are, where they were 30 years ago. Okay we are, where they were back say in 1974 that that's pretty accurate, then, but the thing has intensified and sped up so much that it didn't take 30 years for them to catch up. I know this inquiry thing happened to America. Five years later in 2009 search of 11 years ago, friends, Newsweek featured an article by Jessica Bennett entitled polyamory the next sexual revolution with this bold provocative beginning.

Only you and you and you polyamory relationships with multiple mutually consenting partners has a coming out party.

This is what the article said Newsweek 2009 it's enough to make any monogamous head spin with the traditionalists had better get used to it. Researchers are just beginning to study the phenomenon of the few who do estimate that openly polyamorous families in the United States number more than half a million with thriving contingents nearly every major city that I wrote to this is not group sex, or adultery, or even polygamy. It is polyamory.

Newsweek warrants the traditionalists had better get used to it is even an argument.

Now that polyamory should be classified as a sexual orientation for the purposes of protection against discrimination so polyamorous actually claim their quote born that way. So here friends and so I am reading what I wrote years ago to say we others. Many have been saying this is coming for years. Prof. Robert George tweeted this out respected law professor and strong moral conservative. He said this, the normalization of polyamory rolls down the track. Just as I and others predicted it would. It was as I said, less a slippery slope than a simple unfolding of the logic of social liberalism, but of course why not look if marriage is not the unique union of one man and one woman. You're just like you have plugs of the male and the female plug. The only reason you need those two aspects is because with a bring together in their uniqueness as you get up 10,000 plugs a million plugs one plug. They don't have that functionalist the to make a certain connection of legitimate sexual atonement. Everything that brings a man and a woman together in a unique union and makes them uniquely one friends, so please hear me if marriage does not have to include a member of the opposite sex. It is so fundamentally redefining site 2+2 = 4 is not math it's spelling and endcap is spelled CAT is not spelling but that's math. If you are so fundamentally redefining terms that marriage can mean anything so so log me, what's that people who married themselves. You go to the self marriage ceremonies website which states self marriage is a profound right of passage and to hold mistrust of responsibilities of liberation and love source from within. It is a ritual transformation of proclaiming what is true in your heart and being celebrated as you make it known that you are ready to live your full potential is the commitment to radically honor and express your gifts of the precious gift. Your life is the freedom to live authentically in alignment with your deepest values is the dedication to love no matter what, so you marry your self why did a search for this just before during the broadcast. II saw questions come up like this.

What states allow self marriage.

What what states allow self marriage. This is the answer of the states that allow some forceps some form of self uniting marriage or Wisconsin Colorado District of Columbia California Maine and Nevada. As of July 31, 2017 so what why the surprise that there's a trouble on HDTV why the surprise that this is mainstream. This is the norm is a set is American as apple pie.

Now here is what's inevitable that an avalanche goes down the hill, not uphill. The slippery slope goes downward not upward. Barring a radical course correction which will only come from revival in the church, leading to awakening in the society.

Barring that, the collapse continues. Barring that, the slope continues to go downward. The avalanche continues to go downward. Not here's what's also inevitable. The pattern repeats itself. We worn this is coming sis next were going to have throttles whatever other numbers you want were mocked or crazy.

That will never happen.

You're dreaming up your doomsday prediction here if that's what were going to hear day and night. You're crazy.

And then it happens. You know were told by the very same people who mocked us know were told jurisprudence. What's the big deal. Who cares. I gave a presentation at the University campus a few years ago, local University in Charlotte North Carolina and the goal was to encourage and strengthen Christians but to reach out to nonbelievers was a secular university so they asked me to talk on God and sex. One of the points that I made was when you do things God's way. It brings life and wholeness when you do things the way of the flesh in the world. It ends up bringing death and destruction and I illustrated these things statistically and as I was speaking I was referencing the slippery slope and there is some of the students there.

They didn't trust me. I recommend them for it, but they were making all kinds of faces expressing their extreme disagreement when it came time for Q&A.

They wanted to argue strongly that there is no such thing as a slippery slope that I was dreaming it up and making it up. I then asked them well. Should someone would say three people want to marry, should they have the right to they thought about well, yet they should assume the one about two brothers 20 years old. Attleboro should they have the right to quit marble yet they should basically this is the government should sanction every possible relationship.

Love you really should wear his laws is consensual. So I sits up to prove my point.

You just accept fully the slippery slope first not exist value section every aspect of friends, don't advise Ray transformation. It must begin with us must begin today, otherwisecoming error on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown and his friends and a lot of fire audio only. No phone calls to date. So show just after picture, my :-).

As were talking about slippery slopes were talking about awakenings were talking about turning the tide.

I want to present a couple things to the regular shift gears and talk about some of the report issues facing us today but everything reproduces after its own kind, and when you go on a certain direction it's going to confirm you going in that direction. You know it's like an addiction or wrong decision. You start on a certain path and then you take steps along that path, and then it reinforces that path and it gets deeper and stronger in deeper and stronger and harder harder than to get out harder than to get yourself on entrenched and it becomes very very challenging in that regard. Look give you a simple example you eat certain foods you become addicted to those foods. The foods are unhealthy. You get heavier eating those foods. As the years go by your metabolism slows down you get even heavier, you become more dependent on the foods it becomes harder and harder because you're going in a certain direction in the same way when you're disciplined in a certain area. When you do the right thing when you say no to sin, it makes it easier to say no to sin. The next time in the next time you get stronger and stronger art so it's there are spiritual rules.

You reap what you sow. Another, as I mentioned, everything reproduces after its own kind.

So you have to ask yourself the question, which direction is my life going. If I continue in this direction which way will it end up not here's what's really fascinating. God's ways, reproducing beautiful and glorious ways. If I say to you, take truth and multiply what you get more truth. Lots of truth abundant truth. That's all you get.

Truth take real love.

Multiply that what you get more love beautiful love glorious love love love love us, take something negative. Let's take bitterness. Let's take greed. Let's take lust let you take any of these things, you multiply your multiply lost and before long you're doing things you never knew existed before your desiring things you never knew existed before and he gets deeper and worse and uglier and uglier you take greed take covetousness, and before you know it, your life is consumed with this and then you're doing the most extreme and crazy things to satisfy desires that never even existed in you say with bitterness. You start with bitterness and unforgiveness and then over time, it leads to this incredible anger than hatred can lead to violence, it could lead to murder the negative things reproduce in a downward spiral. God's truth. God's principles reproducing a life-giving ever more beautiful and wonderful spiral of life.

When I gave this talk at the University in Charlotte a few years ago that I just mention the first segment on God and sex get a job trying to speak to kids that don't know the Lord that may not believe the Bible and all that may not believe in the existence of God and I presented principles to them just to get them thinking.

For example, what I asked them this okay why is it you have a couple and they keep themselves sexually pure before the merits of their not sleeping around and will have multiple sexual partners right. They then get married and they have a wonderful relationship there married 50 years and through much of their marriage. They are sexually active and have a healthy sexual relationship within marriage they'll never get a sexually transmitted disease doing that they could be together. Hundreds of times, thousands of times but within the confines of marriage they'll never get a sexually transmitted disease. However, if they committed the exact same acts that sexual intercourse with some of they weren't married to so that the exact same act with some of the work married to. They might get a sexually transmitted disease asked students where they come from wears a sexually transmitted disease come from is an interesting question.

Is it the one theory is that those who are promiscuous and slick with this person, this person, this person, this person that there's more possibility of picking up diseases is more possibility of picking up other conditions that can then work on your immune system and we can you and now make you more vulnerable to sexually transmitted disease that that's that's one theory of her. Another theory is a darker theory which says this that human beings doing this in the confines of merits of one human to another human will never happen and one human to another human. In normal circumstances will never happen unless the disease is been introduced from somewhere on the outside to this question. Where the disease come from. It has to start somewhere.

So there. There are some who believe that it started with with beast reality. And that's an disease something was now imported into the human race through this sinful act through breaking the bonds the bounds that the that the barriers of life that God is constructed to save us from death. So you go outside of those bounds should you cross that boundary you now going to forbidden territory. As a result you you are you now get something in your body that never should've been there. So now you're with someone else, delegates transmitted, transmitted, transmitted, transmitted, however, however, think of this.

If you are pure before marriage, you never touch that if you just with each other within marriage you'll never touch, so wherever the STDs came from their outside of the bounds of marriage and then I asked the question say with with same-sex practice. Why is it that same man being with men have have that that act has so many more STDs associated with it. I'm not hating on people and say that Justin that God did not construct us for that. That's not the way that God made us, and therefore we violate his guidelines. It's going to lead to problems so wasn't the same with women and women.

It's not exactly the same. However, it has been demonstrated many ways that that women who are just with women can actually contract certain diseases and conditions that will not be contracted with the same level by women who were with men. It's for whatever reason is that I don't have a lot of the time dedicated to all the studies, nor am I a scientist or researcher to back up every claimant's is simply data that I've looked at and study the readers here have at this about this when I was writing saving the sick America. I referenced some older studies that indicated that when women were surveyed in a major women's magazine years ago that to the shock of many of the readers and probably the people doing the polls who said they were the most sexually satisfied with the women who were in a happy marriage. So they were married to the same person they were committing adultery. They weren't sleeping around and these women so with the same man for years.

They spoke of the highest level of sexual satisfaction and the ones who had the lowest level, were the ones who had the most partners, so this cows go from here to here. Hey she's living the sexual dream she's picking this dream guy or that guy she's having sex with no responsibility done with him.

Go to somebody else new excitement every week if you wanted. They were the least satisfied as it was writing that a colleague of mine was reviewing the book to give an endorsement.

Is it all these stats have been verified again in recent studies and sent me up bunch of major studies had to be done not just a survey from a women's magazine, but research is scientific researchers and the conclusions were the same as not to say that every married couple is happy sexually, and everyone sleeping around is just miserable. But it is to say that one thing brings lasting satisfaction and another doesn't. II remember being in the world and friends of mine in the early days of of of having certain experiences is growing up his teens and and and they had. They couldn't wait for this or that and they did certain things and they were dissatisfied and then when they rake they got saved, and they got married this boy. It's completely different.

One thing is with love and with a lasting commitment and it satisfies in a certain way and the other saying it as stimulating as it may have been a is as exciting to the flesh to certain things may have been.

They ultimately left you dry. They ultimately left you dissatisfied. They ultimately left you feeling that something was lacking. The bond of love and the sacredness of sex was missing.

There are pleasures and sin for a season if sin didn't feel good.

People would do it. I was talking to a doctor the other day that he was say look, you got man's food and you've got God's food and God's food. You're the natural foods.

He said those are meant to make you healthy man's food is meant to tastes good at any was explaining how you take all the healthy things out of man's food than you had the preservatives and yet this and that, in this the sweetness to add this letter and Esther to make it more addictive, so it tastes good but it's destructive to your body in the long term and the other taste good but maybe not as good doesn't have all the sugars all assaults, all the other additives all the things that we get used to may not have those, but long term long term. It brings beautiful lasting health hey I am an eyewitness to that myself. So what encourage your friends stay with what's right. Stay with God's ways baby or young person college you're following the Lord with all your friends are sleeping around, you're not near get drunk and high. Your thinking and what
