2 Timothy 3:3,4 - Lover of pleasure

3:3
The rebels are without love and unforgiving. On the latter point it is so obviously true. In the “woke” community if anyone is found to have said or tweeted anything remotely “unwoke” several years ago then they are utterly castigated. Forgiveness is a foreign word to them. They are slanderous and without self-control. Anyone who questions LGBTQ doctrine, however mildly, is immediately accused of being phobic in one sense or another (depending on which aspect is being questioned).  “without self-control”. The concept of controlling ourselves, particularly in the sexual sphere, is considered to be ridiculous. The Bible teaches a much higher view of humanity than the world does. The world teaches that we are unable to resist any urges or desires that we might have. The Bible teaches self-control, and self-control is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. “Brutal, not lovers of good”. Again we see this in many areas of life.

3:4

“lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” is a pretty accurate summary of the present zeitgeist. The woke apologists are certainly rash and conceited, considering themselves to be so much wiser and better than everyone else. And their thinking is rash, not considering the long term consequences of their ideology.
