I'm deeply disturbed by this false Christianity that is pervading our society and culture. It seems so heroic and full of valor and so right. Yet, when we line it up with the New Testament's Age of Grace it is in total opposition. This false Christianity is what spurred and justified the Crusades and what is provoking Christian Nationalism.
Don't be led astray by those who are bent on hatred, variance, debate and tell you to "take a stand" or "fight back" - all of which are contrary to true Christianity that tells us not to avenge ourselves and to lead quiet lives and leave those without alone.
Luke 6:27-28; 31 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you... And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
God has called us to do GOOD to those that hate us! To LOVE our enemies! To PRAY for those that despitefully use us! The political climate today is misrepresenting true Christianity, as God has never condoned political activism and Jesus Himself said:
Luke 20:25 Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
Those pushing this false Christianity want to FORCE people to follow the Bible and live like a Christian without even being one. God doesn't even do this, yet our culture has been hijacked by those who want to take over everything from the government to the schools, all thinking they're doing God's work. God said to come out from among them and be separate, not to take over them and force them to be little Christians.
2 Cor. 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
It's the same as when COVID happened. They pushed people to revile against the government and defy the lawful orders. It's the same spirit that caused the Crusades and that will cause the next "war" in this country and one we must resist at all costs and not be a part of.
The seeking of glory, a name for yourself, wealth and all that entails has driven a conservative culture of this and we must not be a part of it. The world needs the love of God and needs to see a people that are truly the light. Christians don't parade the streets against sinners and their sins and publicly humiliate them. Rather, there is something that is lacking ironically:
1 Peter 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
If the Church got itself right, then we could just shine and the world would be drawn to Jesus. Don't let these revolution-seekers define the Church - BE THE CHURCH and don't succumb to the culture counterfeit of it.
