Religious freedom is enslaving the weak and the poor with Bible propaganda that is incredibly deceptive and deceitful, not to mention hypocritical.
Look thru the Bible and find the verses Christians try to hide. It's called "Cherry Picking."
What is "moral" to you?
Why is it moral?
Is "morality" the choice between good and bad things, acts, choices?
What made you the judge of morality?
Are you sure YOUR morality is true "morality?"
What makes "Christians" fake their "Christianity" ready to judge what is and what is not moral?
Morality is self-defined, PERIOD. It seems too many people want to decide what is moral for others, especially "Christians." Of course, Christians own morality, right? Like the Catholic "Christians." lol! Ugly! Snap! No, it' the Evangelicals who give Tweety a pass on every sin he has committed.
"Christians are suffering from complete spiritual blindness"
By Michael Gerson - September 10 at 5:08 PM
"Since the Council of Nicaea, Christians have been prone to issue joint statements designed to draw the boundaries of orthodoxy — and cast their rivals beyond them. Another one, not quite in the same league, was recently issued by a group including John MacArthur, a prominent (and very conservative) evangelical pastor and Bible teacher.
“The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel” claims that social justice is not, in fact, a definitional component of the gospel, and that it is heresy to elevate “non-essentials to the status of essentials.”"
There is more stupidity in this statement, unbelievable stupidity and lack of true Christian thought and feeling, but lets go to the analysis. I cannot resist adding one more clip from this ugly statement:
"In case this wasn’t clear enough, the document goes on: “We reject any teaching that encourages racial groups to view themselves as privileged oppressors or entitled victims of oppression. . . . "
Who says this crap?! Blacks are claiming "entitlement' for white oppression? That takes guts to write! And it takes racism and White Power, KKK thinking.
"Where to start a response? First, there is the matter of judgment. MacArthur surveys the evangelical movement in 2018 — increasingly discredited by rank hypocrisy and close ties to an angry, ethnonationalist political movement — and concludes that its main problem is too much . . . social justice. It is a sad case of complete spiritual blindness.
Second, there is a matter of history. Elsewhere, MacArthur complains that evangelicals have a “newfound obsession” with social justice. This could be claimed only by someone who knows nothing of the evangelical story."
Do your homework folks. Let's go on to some of the more racist shit this "Christian" offers . . .
". . . most damaging is the MacArthur statement’s position on racial matters. What could a group of largely white evangelicals, many of them Southerners, possibly mean by criticizing “racial vainglory”? "
How about that. A white man saying blacks are not really oppressed so the Black people are whining and should be chastised. How?
"Is it vanity to praise the unbroken spirit of Africans in America during more than four centuries of vicious oppression, which was often blessed by elements of the Christian church? Is it vanity to recognize the redemptive role played by African American Christianity in calling our nation to the highest ideals of its founding?"
Wow! Blind Christianity is not Christian.
"The purpose of “The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel” [CRAP!] is clear enough. It is, as one prominent evangelical leader put it to me, “to stop any kind of real repentance for past social injustice, to make space for those who are indeed ethnonationalists, and to give excuse for those who feel Christians need only ‘preach the gospel’ to save souls and not love their neighbors sacrificially whether they believe as we do or not.”
The MacArthur statement is designed to support not a gospel truth but a social myth. The United States, the myth goes, used to have systematic discrimination, but that ended with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Racism is now purely an individual issue, for which the good people should not be blamed. This narrative has nothing to do with true religion. It has everything to do with ignorant self-satisfaction.
It is neither realistic nor fair to ignore the continuing social effects of hundreds of years of state-sponsored oppression, cruelty and stolen wages. It is neither realistic nor fair to ignore the current damage of mass incarceration and failed educational institutions on minority groups. Prejudice and institutional evil are ongoing — deeply ingrained in social practice and ratified by indifference. Repentance is in order — along with a passion for social justice that is inseparable from the Christian gospel."
This man and his White Power agenda is NOT Christian in any way. He is a hypocrite. He breaks God's law.
I say, do unto him as he is doing unto you! Rewrite his story as he is trying to rewrite the story of continuous racism in America.
God is not real, but spirituality, hopefully, is real, and American values will, I hope, save us from our racism. This "Christin" hypocrite is certainly doing nothing to help us be the good people we have potential of being.
