28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
9 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.Soon afterwards while my son was engaged in his studies I happened to read an on-line article in the Quadrant magazine about how Australia's highest honour award went to the philosopher and foundational 'Green' party strategist Peter Singer.
How appropriate and so prophetic regarding the scripture we had just read.
It also happens to illustrate that after more than two thousand years of the supposedly ever upward trend of advanced human civilisational development, our human nature has in fact, changed not one whit.
A boost for the veracity of biblical precepts I would say.
This is the article on Peter Singer: http://www.quadrant.org.au/magazine/issue/2012/9/the-lethal-philosophy-of-peter-singer
Worth a read if only to convince you of the fact that we are possibly in the very last of the last days.
