I pray that you are well in the Lord Jesus. I'll start out by saying that I am NOT political by any means. I perform my civic duty and vote, I am a law abiding citizen, and every once in a great while, I'll make a comment on the crooks in office. That is the extent of my politicism. All that said, I am going to talk about "liberals" and I'll tell you what prompted this commentary. My father, seems to think that the Democrats are the best thing since sliced bread and he is always bringing up politics. He talks about the "far right" with utter contempt and then looks at me askance. I've told him that I don't subscribe to no titles and that I'm not political. I told him my hope rests in Jesus. Period. My home ain't down here. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight..." (John 18:36) Hey, I'm seeking a far country, a better country, hallelujah. I don't like what I see down here and I don't belong to this wilderness. I'm just a stranger and a pilgrim travelling on home to see my Jesus. Until then I've been commanded to do exploits (Dan 11:32) and occupy (Luke 19:13). Well, my dad mentioned the far right within this past week while we were out of town. When I got back here at my computer, a thought popped into my mind: are liberals really liberal? Are they not rather slaves to sin? Do they really liberate people or do they enslave them? I used to be just like them--was I free back then or was I a slave? The Bible says: 2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. When we look at the fruits of the so-called "liberal attitudes" we will see that the "liberals" are actually slaves bringing people into the bondage of sin and the denying of the only wise God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Before we begin our examination, we should understand what a true liberal really is. In the Bible (King James, of course), the word liberal always means to give freely, to be generous, bountiful, ample. For example, God is liberal-- James 1:5, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men LIBERALLY, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Paul called the abundant offering of the Corinthian church liberal-- 2 Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your LIBERAL distribution unto them, and unto all men; The Bible says a liberal man devises liberal things. From this man springs forth abundance and blessing-- 32:8 But the LIBERAL deviseth LIBERAL things; and by LIBERAL things shall he stand. The Bible says the wicked man is NOT liberal-- Isaiah 32:5-6, The vile person shall be no more called liberal... The above verse says that the vile person shall not be called liberal. Yet the political people who call themselves "liberal" today are wicked and try to legislate wicked things. They mock at God and the Bible. Look at their works--they are vile and wicked--yet their father, the devil, has placed in their hearts that they are truly "liberal". They are not. Let us continue on with the preceding Isaiah passage. It says that the vile person shall no more be called liberal for-- ..the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. All of this true! Look around yourself and see their threatenings and blasphemings. See our page on the scoffers at http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/scoffer.htm. I was forwarded an e-mail the other day that was about sexual abuse by priests, "pastors", etc. It was put together by some organization with a name that basically said that the Christian religion was the cause of sex abuse. They called the sex abuse "Christian Ritualized Abuse". First of all, priests (who are infamous for sex abuse--http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/sexabuse.htm) aren't Christians and second of all anybody that abuses a child ain't a Christian. In the Bible, you only find that God hates unrighteousness and He is angry everyday with people who offend the little ones. But the fools in that organization don't care about the Bible. In fact, they hate the God of the Bible. Their father, the devil, puts blasphemy and mischief in their hearts. The wicked write and tell me about the "misogyny of Paul" how "Christians started all these wars" (of course they are talking about the Catholic religion which is not Christian). They tell me how God was originally known as a "she" (http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/god_he.htm), how the Bible is a myth, how various holy men were sodomites, etc. Oh, how can they escape the damnation of hell? They are-- ...spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. All things are possible for our God and if these deceived individuals will turn to God and His Christ, they'll be saved. Otherwise, they have a reservation in hell. And contrary to what some of them think, they won't be ruling. In schools and universities, young people are taught that Christianity is a myth. The young people then parrot what some man told them. They tell me about what I supposedly believe and they've never read the Book themselves. They have neither part nor lot in the matter yet they try to school me in what I believe based on their own bad education. Well, let's take a look at what THEY BELIEVE AND TEACH AND SEE THE FRUITS-- THEIR WORD: free love BIBLE WORDS: Whoremongering, fornication, adultery, lasciviousness RESULTS: Alienation from God, abortion, inability to discipline their bodies--jumping in and out of whoredom, high divorce rates, eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin, disease, illegitimate children, children commiting fornication, children with reprobate minds unable to concentrate on anything. THEIR WORD: Gay and lesbian, homosexual BIBLE WORDS: Sodomites, abusers of themselves with mankind, effeminate, vile affections, women change the natural use against nature, men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly. RESULTS: Alienation from God, Reprobate minds, eyes that cannot cease from sin, disease, divorce, temptation to the unsaved weak-minded individual. THEIR WORD: Abortion BIBLE WORD: Murder RESULTS: Alienation from God, extreme pain for child, infertility, guilt, disregard for human life. The same people who support abortion "privleges" are protesting on behalf of PETA--People for the ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS! The devil got them so turned around they don't see how crazy they are. Kill a child but save chicken. THEIR WORD: Tolerance BIBLE WORD: Carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; RESULTS: Accepting, and chasing, every false religion; multitudes going to hell; rejecting the God of our Fathers which leads to a curse on our country; confusion in the minds of children making them two fold the children of hell. Notice their hypocrisy: they have tolerance for everything but the Bible-believing Christian who is looked upon as the scum of the earth (not that we don't expect that--see Matthew 5:10-12). THEIR WORD: Separation of Church and State BIBLE WORD: Removing the ancient landmark which our fathers have set RESULTS: Disenfranchising Americans from their rich Christian/biblical heritage, bringing the wrath of God upon the most blessed and free nation ever. The land will vomit us out. From the very first charter to the setting up of Government, the Bible was there. THEIR WORD: No Censorship BIBLE WORD: No casting down of imaginations RESULTS: See adult entertainment. THEIR WORD: Adult Entertainment BIBLE WORD: Whoredom, lasciviousness RESULTS: Men who have no desire for their wives, people creating imaginary worlds for themselves not grounded in reality, rape and other violence, eyes that cannot cease from sin, incontinence, behaviour worse than an beast, child abuse, children whose minds have been corrupted resulting in aberrant behaviour. THEIR WORD: Alcoholic BIBLE WORD: Drunkard RESULTS: Slaves to a bottle, escapism from a seemingly hopeless reality, release of inhibitions to do more evil. THEIR WORD: Psychology BIBLE WORD: Sorcery RESULTS: Going to a sinful man who can't even help himself much less his subject, a heart that seeks to discover itself, a turning inward into dark recesses, dependency on mediations and "counseling", spending money on nothing. THEIR WORD: Women's Lib BIBLE WORD: Rebellion, bondage RESULTS: Women have to work outside the home, kids go to daycare not receiving a mother's instruction, arguments as wives expect to run the house as much as husband, divorce "I don't need you" mentality, adultery. THEIR WORD: Stud BIBLE WORD: Whoremonger THEIR WORD: The Single Life BIBLE WORD: Whoredom THEIR WORD: Elite BIBLE WORD: Fools THEIR WORD: Academia BIBLE WORD: Fools THEIR WORD: Rock Star BIBLE WORD: Sorcerer Please see part II for the conclusion...
