"See no iniquity in Israel?!?" Anyone who has read the OT knows that God is continually seeing and rebuking and promising to judge Israel for its gross sins. I thought LCMers were supposed to know the Bible!

This whole thing has become so bizarre and around the bend. White has become black, and truth, darkness.

It is so ironic that the LCM treats modern day prophets like Indiana just like the corrupt leaders of Israel treated the prophets of that day.

Who are today's prophets, LCM? Who is speaking truth to power? You don't even believe in prophets. You believe anyone who speaks against you is a deadly dissenter. Did it ever occur to you that is the way the leaders of Israel viewed the prophets of that day?? Do you think the Jews liked it when Ezekiel said the following to them? Do you think they called him a "dissenter?"

Ezekiel 5

5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
"This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations,
with countries all around her.

6 Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees
more than the nations and countries around her.
She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees.

7 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
You have been more unruly than the nations around you
and have not followed my decrees or kept my laws.
You have not even conformed to the standards of the nations around you.

8 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you
in the sight of the nations.

9 Because of all your detestable idols,
I will do to you what I have never done before
and will never do again.

10 Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children,
and children will eat their parents.
I will inflict punishment on you
and will scatter all your survivors to the winds.

11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord,
because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images
and detestable practices, I myself will shave you;
I will not look on you with pity or spare you.

12 A third of your people will die of the plague or perish
by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls;
and a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword.

13 Then my anger will cease and my wrath against them will subside,
and I will be avenged. And when I have spent my wrath on them,
they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.

14 I will make you a ruin and a reproach among the nations around you,
in the sight of all who pass by.

15 You will be a reproach and a taunt,
a warning and an object of horror to the nations around you
when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath
and with stinging rebuke.
I the Lord have spoken.

16 When I shoot at you with my deadly
and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you.
I will bring more and more famine upon you
and cut off your supply of food.

17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you,
and they will leave you childless.
Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you,
and I will bring the sword against you.
I the Lord have spoken.”
