Liberalism and the Destruction of Christianity

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As with the media, entertainment industry, and the education system, the tool most favorably used to destroy what the liberal left detests is infiltration, and destruction from within, while constantly pounding the target with ridicule and accusations from the outside.  Good people have been conditioned to walk on egg shells.  Hammered by the humanism all around them, average people have become tools of the Left in statism's campaign to destroy all opposition.

Benjamin Franklin said, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom."

George Washington said, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

Samuel Adams said, "The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it.  While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves."

Finally, John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

If, as a society, we are not willing to follow the set standard of morality provided by faith in Jesus Christ and the Scripture as provided by the Holy Bible, how can we expect a humanistic political establishment to be willing to follow the set standard of limited government provided by the United States Constitution?

Rather than recognize societal problems as being the consequences of the actions of individuals, the liberal left seeks root-causes.  Because the ultimate goal is utopia, any root cause that interferes with that journey to a communal society where there are no possessions save for communitarian desire must be eliminated.  Nothing can be higher than The State, and nobody can dare carry with them a philosophy that contradicts the humanist agenda.

The spiritual heritage of the United States is the primary driving force behind America's exceptional achievements and prosperity.  An ordered society, the Founding Fathers understood, requires the presence of government, but human nature demands that government must be limited, and that a moral set standard of the rule of law must be in place to serve as a check against humanity's humanistic tendencies.  The liberal left seeks "change" because the recipe for freedom is not compatible with their statist agenda.  More importantly, an all-powerful and revered State cannot exist if people hold themselves to a higher authority.  The liberal left understands that they must break down individualism, make the voice of the State and the people through representation, irrelevant, and condition the population to revile the history of limited government that this nation has enjoyed.  But all of that is a moot point, and impossible to enforce, if people believe in a higher standard, and worship a Christian God that rises above the petty and selfish humanistic desires of a ruling class, or a culture attempting to normalize sin.

Islam achieved a totalitarian state with followers willing to die to protect the ruling class, and the barbaric nature of their system, by joining the state with the church.  The political ideology of Islam is defended by true believing Muslims willing to kill, and be killed, in defense of their religious fervor.  The blood-lust of Islam is contagious, and the suicidal reverence to the cause is undeniable.

The Church of Liberalism has achieved a similar radicalization within their ranks, minus the emergence of suicide bombers. But, as with Islam, the liberal left's primary opposition, and obstacle, is Christianity.  Rather than fall under the control of a massive collectivist commune, Christians remain individual-centric, placing God and Jesus Christ above the political machine confronting them.  In Islam, the solution has revealed itself as simply being the murdering and wiping out of their opposition.  ISIS is currently in the process of slaughtering all Christians in their path in Iraq.  The liberal left works in shadows.  They avoid obvious scenes of tyranny, seeking other ways of destroying their opposition so that the followers are not as quick to realize the tyranny the liberal left represents.

Liberalism has proclaimed theirs is a crusade for utopia, where the village knows better than the individual, and where the evil Christians stand in the way of such a beautiful system of communal peace and joy.  Christians have become the root cause of the liberal left's woes, therefore the Christians must be destroyed and eliminated - but in such a way that it looks like they are being removed for the common good, because, according to the liberal left, Christians are racist, homophobic, and backward.

The Left works to ridicule Christianity into silence, and label the followers of Christ as being insensitive or bigots.  Meanwhile, a campaign within The Church has also emerged, infiltrating some of the denominations, setting the different sects at war with each other by creating chaos and misinformation within their ranks.

Humanism is the key.  Mankind over godliness.  The journey to become God so that God can be set aside and forgotten.  The left's end is the singularity, where humans become god, and God is set aside, as orchestrated from the very beginning by the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Sometimes, the evidence of humanism bubbling up within the ranks of Christianity is subtle, and almost not noticeable.  The wife of famed evangelist, Joel Osteen, let a bit of it escape her lips on stage in front of a massive crowd of the faithful, and her husband nodded in agreement.  Victoria Osteen said, "I just want to encourage every one of us to realize when we obey God, we’re not doing it for God – I mean, that’s one way to look at it – we’re doing it for ourselves, because God takes pleasure when we’re happy. That’s the thing that gives Him the greatest joy. … So, I want you to know this morning: Just do good for your own self. Do good because God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God really. You’re doing it for yourself, because that’s what makes God happy. Amen?"

Yourself.  Faith and God is to be put aside, because Humanism is why you truly do it, right?

Was that not the argument presented by Satan from the very beginning?

To succeed, the liberal left must project their tyranny onto Christianity, and into Christianity.  They have been working to convince Americans that Christians are like the radical Muslims, seeking a theocracy, where there is no separation of church and state (which is another concept perverted by leftism).  The liberal democrats had to vote on whether or not to keep God as a part of their platform, because God stands in their way.  God is the enemy, as far as they are concerned, because God reveals who they are.  The light always banishes darkness, so to survive they must convince America that they are the light, and that the followers of Christ are the enemy.

The Huffington Post revealed a poll where the leftists said an alarming number of Christians want a theocracy in America.  A theocracy is just as tyrannical as what the liberal left is pushing, and the colonists first came here seeking religious freedom, not a strong centralized government based on an established church promoted by a nationalistic and theocratic national government.  On the same token, the Founding Fathers established our country on the principals of biblical origin.  We are, or at least we were, a Christian nation, not by theocracy, but in the sense that we adhered to, and believed in, the Christian principles of morality, and an orderly society based on the Laws of Nature of Nature's God.  The politicians prayed, and the pastors preached politics, but neither controlled the other.

To the liberal leftist, such a proclamation of our Christian heritage is viewed as the Christian desiring a theocracy, which was probably the driving force behind a poll that states 34% of Christians want a theocracy.  Do that many Christians want a Christian theocracy in America?  I doubt it.  The very premise of a theocracy runs against the Christian philosophy of free will.  Salvation is a voluntary choice, and is the ultimate example of true freedom.  You have a choice to accept, or reject God.  Why would a faithful following of Christ then turn around and want a theocracy?

The truth behind the claim that 34% of Christians want a theocracy is likely that the questions in the survey were used in such a way to make that suggestion, even if that was not the intended message of the subjects.  Either that, or a statist rationale really has infested much of the church.  It is likely one, or the other, and I would half-hazard a guess that if it must be one of the two possibilities, it is the former.

Do you believe this is a Christian country?  Do you think it would be best for this country if Christianity is the dominant religion?  Do you hope that your leaders would adhere to the Christian values presented by the Bible?  A three "yes" count on those questions would be an obvious path to take for the average Christian, but a leftist would see those "yes" answers as an admission by the Christians taking the survey that they desire a Christian theocracy.

The purpose of headlines like the Huffington Post's "34% of Your Fellow Citizens want a Theocracy" has little grasp on the truth, and these kinds of headlines are designed to appall you, to make you shake your head about those radical Christians, and they are designed to soil Christianity even though the claim is actually far from the truth, and fails to recognize that biblical text actually teaches the contrary.

Deconstructionism is the name of the method being used.  The liberal left must deconstruct the history of the United States, and the validity of Christianity, if they are to fundamentally transform the United States into a socialist utopia where all you care about is the benevolence of the all-powerful State.  They must attack, and discredit, all of the traditional values that have made America great.  The family unit is under assault, as is marriage, and the sanctity of life, itself.  The Christian influence on this nation is being dismantled, and the people have been conditioned to see those important principles and philosophies as a threat to the future of America.

The unwillingness of Christians to back down regarding the senseless slaughter of the unborn is being spun as sexism.  The unwillingness of Christians to back down regarding the sexually perverse behavior of homosexuality is being portrayed as being the same as racism.  Christians, for being reluctant to turn their back on God on these issues, and to give in to immoral degradation, are being ostracized for their opinion, and the normalization of gay sexual behavior is being forced on society by government mandate.  The re-education of America to accept sexual promiscuity, and perverse sexual behavior is being forced upon the children, mandated to be taught so that eventually those that dare stand against the issue will eventually fade away, and the children will stand in the new camp.

Recognizing that homosexuality is a sexual perversion is self-evident, and the behavior carries severe health, psychological, and spiritual consequences.  But the drive isn't about understanding the laws of nature, or of natures' God.  Humanism places the desires of men above the moral standards of God.  The desires of men, even if those desires are destructive and perverse, are celebrated by the leftists primarily because they stand in direct opposition of Christianity, and in direct opposition to God.

It is all about disobedience to God.

Never mind stories about the professor that was a pioneer in "queer studies" pleading guilty for having sex with underage boys.

"Living in sin" has become a joke to the left.  They highlight when Christians are caught acting non-Christian, and they have been salivating over every action by the Pope of the Catholic Church every time they think he is acting in a "progressive manner."  If the pope accepts the sinners, that makes sin acceptable, they seem to be saying.

Christ dined with and surrounded Himself with sinners, not because He condoned their actions, but because He loved them despite their sin.  All He asks is that we accept Him, and turn away from our sinful nature.  We are all sinners, none of us are righteous.  Acceptance is not a sign of accepting the sin, but a sign of accepting the sinner.  In response, the sinner is expected to free themselves from the bondage of sin, to sin no more, and to place their lives into His Hands.

Sometimes, the assault against Christianity is a direct assault that is so appalling, we can't believe it happened.  Yet, the leftists applaud these assaults, as if stripping Christians of their religious rights is a righteous action.  One school library is under fire for removing books suspected of being "too Christians."  Not that your parental rights mean much to these people.  The left doesn't even think you should be allowed to feed your own children, much less teach them your Christian view of morality.  Heck, you can't even wear a shirt that says "Jesus" on it if you are in the NFL. In an interview, Robert Griffin III was asked to put his shirt with a Christian message inside out before the cameras came on so as to hide the offending language.

If you are a God-fearing conservative, the liberal left will use the force of the law to target you and hunt you down.  The IRS scandal says so, and an accidental phone call from the Department of Justice proves that the Obama administration was in on the targeting to groups that dare to oppose the Obama administration.  Of course, the mainstream media left that little story alone.

Meanwhile, the liberal left perverts the Name of God, claiming to be followers of Christ, while saying appalling things that would be considered unbecoming of a Christian, such as when Virginia Democrat Mike Dickinson tweeted that he asked God to kill everyone in the National Rifle Association with the Ebola virus.

All of this humanism, and direct attacks against the Christian principles that made this nation exceptional, has opened dangerous doors.  Every action has a consequence.  The culture is in trouble, the newest generation is out of control, and the Satanists are moving in to take advantage of the path the liberal left has opened up.

Satanists and atheists are uniting with the liberal left in their war against God.  At a Florida public school, students are being given a satanic-themed coloring book, pamphlets explaining the philosophy and practice of Satanism, along with information regarding the legal right to worship Satan in school.

Christian prayer is banned, the American flag is considered an offensive symbol, but the right to hail Satan is acceptable?  Talk about upside down, inside out, and backwards.

While the Ninth Circuit Court claims displaying the American Flag is dangerous to students in school, a Satanist group, after a court case reversed a school district's decision to ban Bibles, believes it is their constitutional right to disseminate materials geared to undermine the principles of our country, and the Christian foundations of our system.

The assault on sexual morality, Christian principles, and God Himself, has led to Satanic worship emboldened to reveal itself in the public square, such as at the sold out 'Black Mass' in Oklahoma.  Sexual perversion has risen to a level of societal acceptance, an unbelievable level of normalcy, with a fight to normalize various forms of homosexuality, incest, bestiality, and abominations beyond imagination in place, while trying to use the force of law to punish those that dare to disagree.  And the sexual perverts in our society laugh at the Christians for daring to oppose them, not just because they want to place their humanistic lusts above the culture, even if they must take legal action to do so, but because they believe they are triumphantly stabbing God in the eye.

Sex Education took a new turn when a sixth grade teacher demonstrated to her class the way to use a strap-on penis.  Though she remained clothed during the demonstration, the Florida teacher assumed the sexual positions one would take to derive full enjoyment from the device.

Florida?  Isn't that the same State where Satanic coloring books are being handed out?

A false Christ claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus in Siberia, and he says that outerspace aliens are not only real, but they have no soul.  The narrative definitely sets up his followers for any satanically staged close encounter.

While the slaughter of Christians by ISIS in the Middle East is in full swing, a concerted effort to ban Christianity from the American military is in full swing.  If you are gay in the military, flaunt it, but if you believe in Jesus Christ, you may soon be court-martialed for exercising your faith.  A current regulation that has been recommended by the Pentagon requires that all military personnel to hide their faith for the duration of their service.

The Democrats believe in free speech, as long as you don't disagree with them.  I suppose that's why the Democrats are pushing an amendment to the Constitution to limit free speech by reversing the Citizen's United case.

All is not lost, however.  There are pockets of resistance against the tyranny being promoted by the liberal left.  In Tennessee, after the school district banned all prayer at school events, the cheerleaders of one school refuted that decision and continued to pray before football games, anyway.  In South Carolina, after a school confiscated American flags flying from the trucks of students on 9/11, the following Monday angry parents lined the sidewalk in front of the school with American flags in hand, waving them proudly,

In the United States, to restore our republic, we need more than an awakening, and great demonstrations as we saw in Tennessee and South Carolina.  We need a revival.

Of course, the leftists will even view that statement as being one by a bigoted Christian seeking a theocracy.

The first key is for Christians to realize this war is beyond flesh and blood.  Satan is systematically destroying America, and Christians are under fire for daring the sound the alarm.  And if you have one foot planted in the world, you are complicit.

This is such a well written piece! I wish that every American was presented with this as mandatory reading. Our societal decline will continue, and even accelerate, as our people ignore the very system of beliefs that spawned our nation.
