Jude 1:16

"These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage."

This passage just reminded me of every politiician (mostly liberal) and celebrity (also mostly liberal) out there right now.

They grumble the loudest about the things they hate. They are able to because they get most of the air-time on TV (anyone watch the Oscars?). They find fault in everyone, but see none in themselves. "Christians are just a bunch of hateful homophobes." As the acting world celebrated him for his role as a murdered gay activist, Sean Penn used his time up there to pat himself on the back and scolded all of us who voted yes on Prop. 8. Yet, why isn't Sean bashing Obama, even though he told Rich Warren not even a year ago that because of his faith, he doesn't agree with same-sex marriage? Oh no, we can't talk crap about a fellow Dem., especially when he's our Messiah, here to bring salvation through Socialism.

Following after his own lusts, Clinton had a great time with Monica Lewinski in the oval office. I won't even get into Eliot Spitzer, who was supposed to be cracking down on prostitution, not facilitating it. But the rest of us are all dilussional, intolerant idiots who want to teach our kids abstinence. How could we?

"They speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage." Well, that just sounds like Obama in a nutshell. His whole campaign floated along on flattering words like "hope" and "change." He didn't even have to define what kind of hope or what kind of change. It was just enough that he used those special, revolutionary words. They just make you feel all warm and gooey inside. And now he's gained the advantage with those flattering words and they are already saying that he's pretty arrogant about it: I won. Deal with it.

So what does the Bible say is going to happen to these people. Two verses earlier, it says this:

"And about these also Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, 'Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgement upon all, and to convict all the ungoldy of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (Jude 1:14 & 15)

I can't wait, Lord. You are gonna make them eat their words. Until then, hopefully some will open up their eyes and turn away from their ungodly lives while they still can.
