2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
A poster that promoted what it termed “abuse free” child pornography has been removed from a bus stop outside a major cathedral in Barcelona, Spain.
The advertising firm that manages the bus stops said the poster promoted “abuse-free child pornography,” bearing the word “freedom” in large letters over a picture of a half dressed underage girl.
The ad asked people to send them photos of themselves as children for posting on a website that promoted what they termed the abuse free images.
A spokesman for the advertising agency said the ad was placed inside one of the company’s glass display cases that can only be opened by employees of the company. The company did not say who purchased the ad or who placed the posters in the display case near the Sagrada Familiia cathedral.
No one knows how long the poster was displayed before a local reporter called city council officials about the poster’s content. The council had to ask the ad agency to remove the poster.
I have to wonder if all that is going on in the U.S. might be related to Hosea 5:10.
It is appalling to know that a person or entity could make this kind of display or advertisement. But the good news is that the city council “had” to ask it be taken down. I can’t think of how fast it would have been taken down if it was a display of God’s Salvation or God’s love.
At least we hear of a city council taking corrective measures against promotion of sin. And near the church — the person purchasing the ad must have a lot of antimosity toward God. He needs a visit with Christ personally, to get the full force of Heavenly Love poured out for him. We can pray that he gets a full encounter of the Holy Spirit of Christ & his need for salvation. We older people still live on earth to pray for people who do not know Christ as their Savior.
