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 (John 15:18-25).
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.
Conspiracy Theorists
Christians are routinely marginalized
as being some sort of "kook" believing in
conspiracy theories. For
example, two of the agendas of the new world order are to microchip everyone to
control them and to wipe out 80% of the world’s population through
genocide. That agenda is ridiculed by the anti-christian establishment as being
nothing more than a conspiracy theory, despite the volumes of evidence and
published writings of globalist groups espousing exactly that. When Christians
are portrayed as some wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, their evidence for a new
world order is simply ignored and the uninformed public is lulled into the
complacency of believing in a lie.
One group violently targeted by the
U.S. government was the Branch Davidian group in Waco Texas led by David
Koresh. Attorney General Janet Reno ordered an FBI assault on the compound
resulting in the killing of eighty-six men, women and children. This criminal
act made it painstakingly clear that globalists 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.
