As the Klan Leaders were speaking, spewing forth truth intermingled with patriotism and hate, the opposition was in their area yelling and screaming at the Klan. Rather than love and prayer, I saw anger and hate. Some of these people I recognized from various local churches. While one group was deceived by Satan (they talked as Christians) the other group (from churches) missed their chance. I missed mine too!
.One thing I regret. I failed to witness to the young skinhead. Many people filled with hate become the best Christians once the Lord gets a hold on them. Here was a young man who could be my son, was filled with hate by the trickery of Satan, I had the chance, but I failed to tell him about the love of Jesus. God will hold me accountable for this. Likewise, I failed to temper the anger and hate which I saw in Christian people I knew. We can't answer hate with hate.
.While I was free to tell the skinhead about Jesus and should have, few would have denigrated me if I used Jesus name in changing this young fellow. However, if I told a Muslim or even a Jew about the love of Christ, I would be politically ostracized. Likewise, if I told a homosexual about the love of Jesus I would be hated! That's just not “politically correct”. I do want to point out that I want to tell people about Jesus because I love them and don't want them to be eternally punished. Now, who punishes the guilty in the end? God does!
.Hebrews 10:26 “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. “
.I won't use this scripture for its primary point: that Christians must not continue in sin, but for the results of a life of sin: judgment and punishment by a devouring fire. Yes, God punishes and severely so! It is obvious that God is not politically correct either! He loved us enough to provide a way out, but many will refuse his free gift. That's their mistake, not his.
.Christians are called to convert other Christians. That's our mission as Christians:
.John 8:26”I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.”
.We are to tell the world about Jesus. That would make great lyrics for a song! (Smile). However, what does the world say about proselytism? It is “politically incorrect”. We must not offend the Muslim, the Jew, the Hindu, the infidel, the atheist, the agnostic or any other groups of people by trying to make Christians of them. Now let me get this straight. We are told by God to tell the world about Jesus to keep them from eternal destruction, and we're to worry about hurting their feelings? Political Correctness is the dogma of the devil and actually is the silliness of Progressives.
.With that said, I criticize the damning religions of the Moslem and Hindu. (God will show mercy on the Jews who convert at the time of the tribulation. Yes, there is still hope). I criticize the atheist and the Deist. They are deceived by their own false knowledge. I criticize the evolutionist and the teachers thereof. I criticize behaviors as well: lasciviousness, infidelity, pride, jealousy and yes, even homosexuality. I criticize those who abort babies as well as those who support unjust laws. God hates those behaviors. I love those who fall into those groups enough to tell them of their errors, because they are sinners, and they need to know of God's love and grace. (That doesn't mean that I don't sin, but that I ask forgiveness of my sins. God has been merciful to me as well).
.“Political Correctness” (PC) is the thought, having been around since the 1980's, that we are to protect the feelings of those with shortcomings or are in specific groups who have historically ridiculed. The movement includes racial groups, those with abnormal sexual orientations, certain handicapped people and even women, foreigners and underachievers. PC is the agenda of those seeking “social justice”. It's noble on their part, but actually impedes positive change because it teaches “tolerance”, not “obedience”.
.With regard to humanity our Lord taught tolerance of those who were dealt a bad hand. The best example of that is the story of the “Good Samaritan”. God is not a respecter of persons. However, when behaviors are concerned, God teaches obedience. The best example of this is God's admonishment of the act of homosexuality. (Note that I call out the behavior rather than the person because it's not people God hates, but their sin).
.While many of us have friends, even relatives, who fall into their latter behavior, it's wrong in God's eyes. We seek for them to change because we love them and don't want them to spiritually die. Admonishment of sinful behaviors is the manifestation of love! (I know... I've been corrected myself and it took courage on the part of my Christian brother).
.As a side note: Don't believe the lies of society that some are “born that way”. That contradicts God and God doesn't lie! It also contradicts what any thinker can see is a learned behavior. (“Girls Gone Wild” aren't born that way. They seek further extremes of pleasure). Homosexuality is a sexual and religious sin (See Old Testament). Furthermore, all studies which propagate the genetic theory of homosexuality are confounded my their methodology... the “scientists” have an agenda. This means that all such studies belong in the mythology heap! We are all born with a desire to sin. However, we all manifest that desire in different sinful activities.
.Now “normal people”, especially Christians, have been labeled as “sick” by the PC Police. We are homophobes, Islamaphobes, ant-Semites, bigots, and are even labeled Nazis. Such tripe is offensive and are terms used by those in the PC Police who have no sound arguments to defend their positions. “Political Correctness” is another tool of the Progressive Socialist ideology which will replace capitalism before the apocalypse. PC has become the religion of the World and National Council of Churches... the precursor to the church of the Apocalypse.
.Let's call a rose a rose for it's still a rose by any other name. While we are to admonish in a loving manner, we are to admonish! That's God's will for us. We are to love the sinner, but hate the sin. Let's do what God tells us to do and get off the evil PC bandwagon. I do forewarn you: You will be persecuted for your Christian beliefs, and the PC Police will see to that. They have the support of the educational institutions, the entertainment world, politics and the news media. As Joe Friday often said “Just the facts, Mam!” Here you have an example of “the facts”. Consider what I say. Do your own research. Open your eyes that you may see!
