Why are liberals so afraid
of Jesus?
Why do they tremble in the face of His ideals for mankind?
Because He demands accountability of you and me -- and them.
He offers absolutes.
In their rebellion, they do not want ANY rules, and especially do not want
His rules. They do not want a God who tells them there are rights and wrongs
that do not change according to human whim. They mock the idea of "natural
law" -- that God has ordained how some things should be. They want false
gods who allow them to do whatever they want and who promise them mystical
power and pleasure.
Even so, Jesus Christ laid down His life for them. He loves them. He expects
us to love them, too. He gave up everything to deliver them from the nasty
surprise Satan is quietly preparing for them. It is our job to make sure
they hear the Gospel -- changing the hardened hearts of these liberal social
reformers is a worthy goal for every believer.
The Struggle for the Hearts of Minds of Mankind
The "world" is unrelenting in its hostility to Christians
and determined to wipe out every divine principle for which Christianity
stands.
We see "religious cleansing" occurring everywhere: Religious people, and
Christians in particular, face open discrimination against their religious
beliefs and expression in public schools. Children, teachers and parents
are chastised for religious utterances despite the First Amendment's guarantee
of a citizen's right to free speech and the right to freely exercise his
or her religion. In addition, many government agencies today, including
the courts, have not only undermined the family but have endorsed programs
and policies antagonistic to the traditional family unit. It seeks to supplant
creationism with evolution. It denies the sacredness of human life by abortion.
It achieves the breakdown of the family unit by divorce
for any reason. The purity of the marriage relationship is denied by pre-marital
sex. Homosexuality and lesbianism are looked on as acceptable alternative
lifestyles. God's chain of command in the home and in the church is ridiculed
by militant feminism. Church and state are so separated as to ban the mention
of God and Christ from public life entirely. Obscenity, pornography, nakedness,
filth, and violence are treated with amiable tolerance.
While our children are being taught to respect homosexuality as "simply
being different," and to never think of it as wrong or unnatural, they are
also taught to despise anyone who disagrees. Those of us who refuse to embrace
these perverted life-styles are labeled as homophobic, old-fashioned and
intolerant bigots. "Hate crime" and "human rights" laws have nothing to
do with hate and human rights; they have everything to do with how the partisans
of putrid political agendas can use the force of the state to break people
and institutions that get in their way.
Cyber Patrol, one of the world´s largest Internet software programs
for blocking pornography and objectionable material, now bars access to
the American Family Association
WebSite, claiming that AFA´s opposition to the homosexual movement
is "intolerant." The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD),
which promotes "transgenderism," is a charter member of Cyber Patrol´s
oversight committee.
There is a deliberate, calculated effort to isolate Christians from
the rest of the culture by spreading fear and distrust.
Those protesting the loudest against "intolerance" and "bigotry" are usually
the first ones to practice such when it comes to pro-family Christians.
In some cases these distortions reflect a genuine misunderstanding of who
we are and a reliance on a crass stereotype that has been perpetuated in
academia and Hollywood. For example, when was the last time you saw a TV
show or movie that portrayed Christians as anything other than greedy, unlikeable
hypocrites or mealy-mouthed, incompetent "nerds?"
In either event, the result is that Christians are depersonalized. Depersonalization
makes it easier for people to accept negative stereotypes, pigeonholed,
and, in the extreme, tolerate abuse and persecution of the people who have
been depersonalized. Historical precedent for this can be found in Nero's
treatment of Christians, racism in all forms, and Hitler's treatment of
the Jews. Dictators, tyrants, and other opponents of the truth don't want
churches and Christians to interfere.
"Churchmen dabbling in politics should take note that their only task is to prepare for the world hereafter." - Joseph Goebbels
In Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda stigmatized the
Jews until they were anathema in the eyes of the general public. 
Then, when public opinion was properly conditioned,
the Jews were herded into ghettos and later into concentration camps, where
they were eventually destroyed. The same thing is happening to Christians
in America today. The source of the disinformation is not the White House
- at least not officially, not yet. But Christians are being boxed into
a cultural ghetto in the eyes of the American public just as surely as Jews
were boxed into a physical ghetto in Nazi Germany. Almost by a process of
osmosis, over the recent years an anti-Christian mindset has developed in
the academics and the media, and is now spreading to the general public.
Christians, who used to be acknowledged as the wholesome core of American
cultural stability, are now denigrated as dangerous and somehow subversive.
(Pat Robertson, "The 'Ghettoizing' of the Gospel," Christian
American, January 1993.)
Hitler and his satanic-led associates carefully prepared the minds of the
murderers in Germany. He had pumped them up into believing they were a superior
race akin to gods. Their victims were said to be members of a lower race,
deserving of their fate. What the murderers were doing was not evil but
necessary and good. Perhaps even holy.
If the Nazi overloards could easily convince these men to willingly commit
such unspeakable atrocities, how much more effective will a future Antichrist
be in convincing his New Age "Soldiers of Darkness" to perpetuate equally
evil acts? His adversaries, Biblical Christians, are racially inferior,
ignorant, unsophisticated, and dangerous to world peace and unity. They
are "evil." Worse, the Christians are a threat and an obstacle to the New
Age Kingdom.
HATE CRIMES IN WACO
The revelations in the media about the governments attack on Branch Davidians
in Waco Texas is not news to myself and many others. We have been saying
all along that the federal government overstepped reasonable bounds when
they launched an all out attack on the Branch Davidian compound resulting
in the killing of eighty-six men, women and children.
What motivated the government to launch the attack in the first place? At
the time, they said it was because of reports of child abuse. When that
contention was disproved, they said it was because the Davidians were amassing
illegal guns. Even that accusation was never proved. I would suggest they
stormed the compound because they clearly had serious political and philosophical
differences with David Koresh and his followers. As the events played out
over the following weeks, the government brought to bear its full psychological
and military weapons in a futile attempt to gain Koresh's surrender. Ultimately
the decision was made by someone in the government (and Janet Reno took
responsibility for it) to force the situation with an FBI led assault using
grenade launchers that ended in the firey deaths of most of the occupants.
If that is not a hate crime, I wonder what is?
It is becoming
painstakingly clear that liberals in our government are attempting to persuade
the American people that any action that conflicts with their socialist
policies will be labeled a "hate crime" and punishable by the federal government.
All the while, they promote the very "hate" they say they are combating.
Are they being successful? Well, after the shootings at Columbine High in
Colorado where 13 students were killed, there was a huge public outcry that
something be done... but when 24 children were murdered in Waco, there was
hardly a whimper from the public. Why is that?
Hate Crimes legislation would criminalize thoughts rather than actions.
Wherever people cross the line from thought or speech to violent action,
they should be prosecuted and the courts have traditionally only stepped
in when someone did cross that line. Today, however, they are trying to
move that line to encompass your feelings, thoughts and beliefs.
This philosophy is straight out of George Orwell's 1984. The "Thought Police"
are going to determine what is in your head and heart. If you fail the test
your crime becomes a "hate crime".
