In continuing with the greatest "hits" of 2012, today we will re-post from May 10. In this post, I was reflecting upon several immediate political stories and their relationship to what the bible calls worldliness. In the first couple of days after writing this post, I received almost no hits. It was so popular that google must have sanctioned it! I also had advertisement on the site in support of gay marriage. Then, it got picked up by several other blogs and sites and it became my second most viewed post of the year.
Today, we will look at "Worldliness and Homosexual Marriage."
Yesterday was an historic day for the homosexual lobby. For thirty five years, this political lobby has forcefully placed itself at the point of the spear in terms of politics and morality in the West. In a clearly concentrated effort, these folks have labored to change public opinion about homosexuality. It appears as if they are winning in their struggle!
How did they change public opinion? The homosexual lobby began their labor in the public school systems. From the 70s- through the 90s, California was seen as the gold standard for public education. Their curriculum and educational methods were copied far and wide. It became a truism that in terms of education, what California did would quickly sweep through the entire nation.
So the homosexual lobby worked diligently to change the educational curriculum in California. They introduced sex education starting in first grade (you can never start too early!). They made fourth and fifth graders read and discuss books concerning how little Billy can have two mommies or two daddies. In a few short years, such nonsense was taught in public schools across the nation.
What happened? Now 61% of Americans under 40 believe homosexual marriage is more than acceptable. As one gay leader said while discussing homosexual marriage in Maine, "All we need is a few more of the grandparents to die, and then we will pass the law." (Ed. note: After many attempts, they finally passed the law in November) A successful campaign indeed.
Yesterday, our President declared that he was in full support of homosexual marriage. He raised 1 million dollars for his re-election campaign in 90 minutes. Even the White House confessed that this was a calculated political move.
Why would Satan have to make himself known in the West when the world system is captured by such worldliness? Remember, worldliness is believing evil to be good and good to be evil.
There are many great ironies about this declaration and the homosexual lobby's efforts. First, the homosexual lobby has ruined education in California and throughout America (just today an article was published stating that 78% of California 8th graders failed the national science test). Our children exit high school and college knowing less and less. We live in a knowledge based society, and because of our educational decisions, we are graduating students who cannot compete in the world. Yes, our students know how to put on a condom by the fourth grade and they know how to have sex in multiple ways, but could they not figure this out on their own?
Furthermore, by any objective standard other that sexual awareness, race awareness, and ecological awareness, California is no longer a pace-setter for education. Each year it falls closer to the middle of the pack. Of course they believe it is because they do not have enough tax dollars (they also argued the test did not include the "right" students to get the scores up!). Why not look at a more obvious source: they no longer do real education! Their education is now political propaganda masked as education. (Ed. note: In November, for the sake of "education" they passed a referendum to increase taxes)
How dare I question these educational changes? If I were working in Higher Education, as my training and skill set say I should, I would not be able to do so without severe repercussions. To call the political propaganda we call education into question is to cross the line into mental illness. It is the ultimate evil. It is declaring war on gays, blacks, and women. It is hate speech.
Just this week a woman was fired from the Chronicle of Higher Education for even proposing a certain field of study (in this case Black Studies) should be abandoned because it is purely political. She has been called a racist and evil for her opinion. The irony, I understand, is that she is married to a black man. What a racist! Never let the facts get in the way of demonizing someone you disagree with.
Worldliness is believing good to be evil and evil to be good.
A second irony is purely political. The left in America has long argued for the strict separation of church and state. Yet, several months ago, the administration argued and decreed that religious institutions would have to go against their faith to provide paid for contraception to all in their employ. Now, the foundational religious institution of marriage is declared by the state to be wrong in its understanding of marriage as between a man and a woman. It appears the left desires separation of church and state when the church wants to prophetically critique anything (that is hate speech), but it sanctions state interference and intervention when it comes to the left's core beliefs.
Worldliness is believing good to be evil and evil to be good.
I know that some who read this will immediately label me homophobic, racist, extremist. I offer that as further proof of this worldliness! I have many friends who are openly gay. I have friends that are of different races than I am. I am such an extremist that I believe we should be free to do as we wish without state interference or fear of state sanction. Even those who disagree with me know I love and respect them.
What I fear the most is that in our culture to disagree with this radical, tyrannical mob will soon be silenced by the arm of the state. Now it is shrilly decried as hate speech, but soon it may be forcefully removed from consideration. At that stage, our culture will be at its end. At that stage, evil will be declared good and good will be declared evil. Has the evil one so captured this culture that it is too late?
