USA - Disagreement is not hatred, and the truth is not hate speech. Somebody needs to tell that to President Obama. If you have ever wondered whether President Obama has an abiding hostility to people of Christian faith, wonder no more. He believes we are a threat to national security. If you are a sincerely devoted follower of Jesus Christ, your president believes you are a potential domestic terrorist.
I do not exaggerate. In a gathering at George Washington University this week, Obama's assistant attorney general for national security, John Carlin, revealed that the Department of Justice is creating a brand new position just to monitor us. The position, domestic terrorism counsel, will be created to combat the "real and present threat" of domestic terrorism.
And where, pray tell, does this threat come from? From the Muslim Brotherhood, which has a stated goal of exterminating Western civilization and sabotaging our miserable house from within? Nope. From ISIS, which is actively recruiting jihadists in all 50 states? Nope. Jihadists who are sneaking into the United States disguised as Syrian refugees? Nope.
No, the real threat to our national security, according to our president and his minions, is coming from the Family Research Council and the American Family Association. Carlin lauded the work of the thoroughly discredited Southern Poverty Law Center, which is so blatantly and maliciously biased against Christians that other parts of Obama's administration – the FBI, the Pentagon, and the US Army – are getting as far away from the SPLC as they can. But the folks at SPLC are still useful to the DOJ, which is desperate to paint conservative Christians as a greater threat to our domestic tranquility than people who are determined to decapitate us in the name of Allah.
Do we disagree with the homosexual lobby about homosexuality? Of course. Do we hate them? Absolutely not. Do we advocate violence against them? Never have, never will. We are simply determined to tell the moral, spiritual, and physical truth about non-normative sexual behavior. Bottom line: disagreement is not hatred, and the truth is not hate speech. Somebody needs to tell that to the president.
The Curse of Political Correctness
Yesterday, an article pointed out the ridiculous situation where “a student had been threatened with violating university ‘safe space’ rules, simply by raising her hand” (telegraph.co.uk).
The writer of this article points out that… “Disagreement is not hatred, and the truth is not hate speech. Do we disagree with the homosexual lobby about homosexuality? Of course. Do we hate them? Absolutely not. Do we advocate violence against them? Never have, never will.”
So what’s the problem? The next sentence reveals all!
“We are simply determined to tell the moral, spiritual, and physical truth about non-normative sexual behaviour.”
That “…moral, spiritual, and physical truth about non-normative sexual behaviour” is found in the Word of God – the Bible. This is the real problem. “Because the carnal mind is enmity [hostile] against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” (Romans 8:7)
The Apostle Paul further explains: “That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.” (Romans 1:26-27 NLT)
Their lifestyle is condemned in the Bible – therefore they attack God’s Word and those who uphold scripture!
But The Real Problem Is Far Deeper! This Is Not God’s World!
“Satan is the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) and he has deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9).
Such deception even includes Christians! The early Christian Church observed the Passover and God’s Holy Days. Why then do Christians today observe Easter – a pagan festival? The answer to this question is life-changing!
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
