Political Correctness and Christ

We all know that "political correctness"(PC) runs rampant in the world. It being "broad support for change in an attempt to correct past injustices". It's a tool for secularists and liberal religions to enforce "social justice". They see about everyone excepting WASP-Ms(White Anglo Saxon Protestants-Males) as "victims" of institutionalized injustice.
 
PC castigates anyone who stands in its way. Those who espouse PC are basically "thought and speech police". (I started to say "policemen", but then that would be politically incorrect as are all references to gender!)
 
I'm not too worried about the political world. At some point in time sane Americans will tire of the silliness of political correctness. Since I'm a proud WASP it's my position that PC Police are the enemy. As such I would never bow to their pressure to bend to their herd mentality. Christians should be thoughtful and considerate in our speech, but not for the same reasons! Here's my reason:
 
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." 
 
So rather than being politically correct in a feeble attempt to correct social injustice, we should practice "The Golden Rule" to please God and be fair to the brother (and sister) to whom we're commanded to love! There's no thought police here... besides God, that is!  We don't have to obey any of God's commands. He doesn't make us. We're free to reject God and his commands. However, there is a penalty for not loving others. It's divine retribution. It's punishment by a just God, not some "do gooder" liberal trying to appease his/hers own guilt feelings!
 
New Age religions reject Christ and Christianity as taught in scripture. New Age is basically a conglomeration of philosophies, pagan religions and liberal Christianity; those which practice social justice instead of salvation. From their viewpoint Christianity is intolerant. They don't believe that Christ is necessary, and that others understanding of Christ is distorted. Of course their convenient viewpoint totally disregards who the Bible says inspired scripture... God himself!
 
The foremost viewpoint of the PC Police about Christianity is that it is intolerant and is the crux of all problems in western civilization since WASPs and WASCs (White Anglo Saxon Catholics) are responsible for repressing everyone since day one. We are public enemy number one! (Many people include the Jewish community as guilty, but for the moment that is politically incorrect, at least for the moment!)
 
There's a second reason that Christianity is under attack by PC Police: Heaven is only for those who believe in Jesus. Heaven is for Christians only! It's a private club! However, that's what Jesus himself said:
 
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
 
Coming unto the Father is communion with God in heaven. Jesus said that he is the only way! He declared that to be true and that's how to obtain life; eternal life!
 
John 14:6 excludes many people! It excludes all non-Christians. The gate is narrow:
 
Matthew 7:14 "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
 
Yes, most people are doomed to hell.  That's because most people are not Christians by experience! I've had New Agers tell me that Christianity is too intolerant and exclusive. Other New Agers have told me that Christianity will be destroyed because it's a religion of prejudice and intolerance!  Karl Marx believed that. The First French Republic  believed that at the time of the French Revolution. (Jacques Hébert, Antoine-François Momoro, Pierre-Gaspard Chaumette, Joseph Fouché renounced Christianity and started a new religion named "The Cult of Reason").  Adolph Hitler not only went after the Jews, but his was a New Age Religion which opposed both Jews and Christian. Then we have the Communists who label Christians as public enemy #1). (Those with Marxist leanings are the first to fall for "political correctness". They are too naive to understand just how "incorrect" and evil Marx was!)
 
Those who propagate PC in America are primarily Marxists and secularists. Liberal churches are included as part of the former two since their doctrine emphasizes "social justice" as well. They have been deceived by the deceiver and their religion will be the religion of the Anti-Christ!
 
Jesus was intolerant according to the PC police. He did say this:
 
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
 
It seems exclusionary, but ends with a statement of grace! If you do God's will you too can be a citizen of heaven. Heaven doesn't have a "Fair Housing Law" or "Opportunity Zones".  God allows those to enter who love Jesus! That includes all genders, races and nationalities. It does not include those who reject his commands. PC Police see that as intolerant in spite of Jesus teaching love for everyone, even the enemy. Even the PC Police!!
 
Those who "pick on a group", according to the PC Police are stereotyping and are prejudiced. They are intolerant and hateful! (I guess because they don't know Jesus, they see him that way!) After all he called the moneychangers in the temple a "den of thieves". That wasn't very nice of him was it? How dare the man who was prepared to die for us all because he loved us all call those who disrespected him a bunch of thieves!  But that he did. Guilty as charged:
  
Matthew 21:12 "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,And said unto them, 13 It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

Today we can't call a "wrong" a "wrong" or even a "right" a "right"! There is no right or wrong for the PC Police except for those who violate their code of "social justice". "How dare you criticize a drunk. They're sick!" they say, without regard to what God said about the drunken! "How dare you criticize 'gays'  they say. "They're born that way!" (Thanks to Lady Gaga we all know that to be truth now!). They pay no heed that God destroyed two cities because of homosexuality and called that behavior "disgusting"! (Excuse me for being so politically incorrect with this fact!).

Jesus was so intolerant that he called some Jewish lawyers and bureaucrats "snakes"! (I do that all the time with judges and Democrats myself!):
 
 Matthew 3:7 "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

The Sadducees and Pharisees didn't come to the baptism to experience it, they came as undercover cops from the legal department! They were spies from the government who sought to use the acts of the Christians to condemn Jesus. They WERE snakes!

Another reason Jesus is unacceptable to the PC Police: He's in a position to be the final judge of us all! If we don't live and believe as Jesus would have us to, Jesus will judge us! "That's just not fair!" The PC Police say. "It's against my freedom to be forced to follow Jesus when I disagree with him!" The PC Police are just like Adam. They are just like the people in the days of Noah and they're just like the Pharisees. They all want to do what's right in their own mind! Take a peek at Jesus as Judge:
 
John 5:21 "For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 23 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"

Jesus is in a position to quicken (give eternal life) since God has appointed him judge. "That's just not fair to Muslims, Buddhists and even atheists!" The PC Police say. "God (who they believe is the same in all religions) should judge, not Jesus!" They think that way because they seek a wide path to heaven with broad acceptance. Since the New Agers don't want to live as Christ would have them, they reject him! It's not Jesus who's intolerant, it's the PC Police themselves. They are blind to it all!

Matthew 13:15 "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

People fail to listen and see because they don't want the restrictive religion of Jesus! They want it their way! They are their own god.

Christians' right to teach and preach to the world is intolerant, according to the PC Police. Although the Great Commission is to go out into the world and teach salvation, Christians who proselytize (seek to convert) are intolerant of other religions!  How can a Christian reach the sinner when the sinner doesn't come to the Christian? Christians must go to the sinner, pagan, atheist, New Ager or even the PC Police!
 
Acts 10:42 "And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God (Jesus) to be the Judge of quick and dead."

The PC Police want Christians away from them, out of their life and out of everyone else's life. By their own perception of permissiveness they are the most restrictive!  Isn't it ironic that those who profess love, fairness, and social justice are so hateful, unfair and repressive?

We're still called to love them. They're the enemy, but we still love them enough that we want them to avoid eternal hell. God tells Christians how to respond to the PC Police. It's hard for me because they insult God, but he tells us how to handle them:

Romans 12:20  "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head."

God loves them too! He wants us to show love for them. If they don't change, then we're not to do the punishing. God will. I don't know how, but somehow by being kind we shall "heap coals of fire" on them. Jesus will judge them. Let God punish. That's not for us!
