The Law of God is doing God's will: "Ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you" (Rom 6:17). Of course, that "doctrine" is of God and contrasts to one's own doctrine: "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself" (John 7:17). Libertarianism is self-law or lawlessness when taken to the extreme.
When people develop their own doctrine, take it from scripture; they will be deceived! To be honest, Satan well knows the Doctrine of Christ; he uses truth and manipulates it so as to pervert it. Most evil ideas are based on truth with an infusion of lies; that is called deception. The modern term for that is a narrative.
For instance, the "religion" of the world is philosophy - the love of wisdom; it comes from the Tree of Knowledge. Philosophy, in modern times, is mostly through psychology. Psychology was once attractive enough to me that I took graduate studies in that study. I was blessed because at the same time I read my Bible throughout, and the Word of God is the "sword" which I came to wield often in class (Ephes 6:17). What was happening I know now:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12)The human "soul" is the empty void which is assigned to each individual because "He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world" (Ephes 1:4), who are in the image of Christ who was also "foreordained before the foundation of the world" (1 Pet 1:20). All mankind were "known" before they were created, even before Adam was created. The "soul" is human potential and is what sets humans apart from the other animals. Life is sacrosanct since before conception, God had a plan for each person. Birth unites a body with the soul. Souls need to be filled. Since everyone is born iniquitous (Psalm 51:5), and sin begins to fill the soul.
Psychology is "the study of the soul" and those who prefer psychology to Christianity, have a love of wisdom which is philosophy. Their "soul" is the human "conscience". The Tree of Knowledge just as easily be called the Philosophy Tree! All religions require a God. The God of Christianity created mankind whereas in philosophy, mankind created their own "god". Reason is their "god" and she uses the name Libertas or "Liberty" in English. Her doctrine is reason - the insight obtained from the Tree of Knowledge.
Why is that discussion so important? Because nothing has changed in all the thousands of years of existence. Mankind still stands beneath the Philosophy Tree as God sheds tears at the Tree of Truth (The Tree of Life). The war is between three entities: Philosophy, Christology, and Chaos. Satan's goal is chaos - the elimination of order. Whose order do you suppose that is? God's order - the Doctrine of Christ. The spiritual war condenses to the forces of evil against the army of God.
People weren't created foolish. That grows on people. They would never except outright unadulterated hatred. It must be tempered with love. Let me now define a new idea - the Paradox of Hatred. A paradox is a contradictory or absurd statement. In order for the world to accept hatred, it must be presented under the pretext of love. That paradox is the manner in which "political correctness" is implemented. Hatred, to be accepted and institutionalized must done under the pretext of love!
What is "political correctness" (PC)? It's a term which "refer(s) to avoiding language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting groups of people considered disadvantaged or discriminated against, especially groups defined by sex or race. (Wikipedia; "Political Correctness").
Face it, PC is on the surface is a good thing. People have no decision in their gender nor race. However, PC as implemented adds much more: homosexuality, transsexuality, nationality, ideology, religion, and even globalism and economics to its rules of order. Not included are the institutions. There is no PC in how Christians, Jews, capitalists, nations, and the whiter races are treated. Why so? We are the historically the institutions and those who keep order.
George Soros has the concept of an open society. We see that today with open borders. Soros's mentor was Karl Popper, the author of Popper's Paradox of Tolerance: "In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Since tolerance is the world's way of demonstrating love, then the way to create love is to destroy those who love differently. This corresponds quote well to my own coined "Paradox of Hatred". Kopper perceived his idea as the epitome of love but his paradox requires hatred. To whom? To those with whom society disagrees.
Unfortunately, the PC police consider Americans a stupid people. They package their "tolerance" in such a way that it doesn't seem to be intolerant. The manner in which they do that is hatred for institutions, mainly the wealthy, capitalism, Christianity, and patriotism. Joe Biden flipped the purpose of the American Revolution upside down when he remarked, "Paying taxes is patriotic." Slavery to unfair taxation is why the war was fought. Indeed, unfair taxation is most unpatriotic! However, that's the type of narrative PC cops use on the foolish every day.
Who, then, is the father of PC? Karl Popper. He was a British philosopher. If you read his biographical information, Popper was eclectic. He took ideas from socialism, libertarianism, and liberalism, and blended them with conservatism to make them palpable. He even blended in Judaism and Christianity to increase their credibility. Popper created a new religion in combining philosophy and Judeo-Christianity. He took branches from the Tree of Knowledge and grafted them onto the Tree of Life. He created a new humanistic religion with God not in it.
PC is a combination of the law of sin with the Law of God with God nowhere in sight. In fact, PC hides the only True God and displays the many false gods prominently. Therefore, political correctness is spiritual wrongness! PC is against the first commandment: "You shall not have other gods besides God" or "in His face". Christians accept PC easily because it presents itself as the epitome of love. However, PC is the ideology of Karl Popper, George Soros, Barry Obama, and all the other gurus in God's face. What I mean by that is they propagate a different type - false love - right in on God's face.
Popper's Paradox of Tolerance is congruent to Herrin's Paradox of Hatred. It merely allows hatred to exist in stealth so as not to be detected. Jesus is the tolerant one in the Bible. He tolerates us sinners to the nth degree, but he never ever tolerates sin. For mankind, love is not about tolerance but obedience. Love is not about accepting behaviors but rebuking and correcting those with sinful behaviors. Those are two of the several purposes of Holy Scripture.
We are even encouraged to be intolerant of sin: "Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear" (1 Tim 5:20). The Bible is all about hating sin but loving the sinner! That is the theme of the entire Bible. The PC police see Christians as intolerant. Wanting that "none should perish" (John 3:16) is the most profound love. Thus, rebuking those who sin, what the world considers intolerant, is the most effective way to love others; it's tough love because sinners don't want to hear it, and so as to protect their sensitivity, society ostracizes those who speak truthfully.
Since, the truth will set us free, PC will enslave us. Nowadays, Christians cannot speak the truth without being hated. PC is worse than sin. It is chaotic! There seems to be no rules at all; the world has become lawless. Not only do the PC police want open borders, but an open society unfortunately closed to the Word of God.
