According to the world our Bible is full of hate speech. The spirit of the world hates truth. The truth of God and His word. God does hate sin, because it is damaging to the people of the world who God loves. The world says that saying that certain sins are sin, is hate speech.
For instance, to call theft sin is OK; to call adultery a sin is OK. On the other hand, to call homosexuality a sin is hate speech! To call abortion a sin is hate speech! Sin is sin, but it is not true that all sin is equal. God’s word says that Homosexual conduct is an abomination. Yet it still is a sin that can be forgiven.
I will be bold and state, all who promote and support the LGBTQ+ agenda are against God and His truth. It is hate speech towards the word of God. They are rejecting the truth of God’s word and faith for salvation through the Lord Jesus. Rejecting the love of God. They are the ones communicating hate speech against God and His children.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:18-20
The picture verse is from the prayer of Jesus for us, God’s children. God’s word warns man of the consequences of sin. The world hits back, because it wants the freedom to do as it pleases. The truth is that God will not force anyone to do what is right. They have their free will to sin all that they want to. The word of God shows the way for the world to be set free of sin and its consequences. The world chooses to exercise its free will to reject God’s plan for true freedom.
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
Question; Is it hateful to point out where sin will lead, that God in His love has made a way for all to enter eternal life through repentance, turning away from a sinful life, and accepting the forgiveness freely given through God’s grace? Is it hateful to preach the Gospel? The world will answer, Yes! Why? Because it speaks against what they choose and want to do and promote as normal and right.
There is more to this, because many within the wider church have been deceived into accepting the world’s view on social issues such as LGBTQIA+ agenda, race, and abortion. If we say anything regarding these things as being sin we become guilty in their eyes of hate speech. Something that most people do not want to be labelled with. So, many within the church succumb to acceptance of the world’s view. Even though they know in their hearts that it is wrong. This is as bad a sin as the sexual deviances of the world.
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonoured among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Romans 1:24-25
This scripture says that God says, “OK carry on and do whatever pleases you, whatever desires that you have, you are free to immerse yourself, as a consequence your bodies will be dishonoured, defiled, because you prefer to follow the lies of the devil rather than the truth of My word.” It is not hate speech to say that, “Here is the truth, if you accept the truth, you can be set free from the deception that you are under.”
Jesus told us that the Truth would set us free. Free from the consequences of sin; Free from the lies of the Devil; Free from all condemnation. How can the Truth be hate speech? It is freedom! Why would we allow ourselves to be condemned by the Lies of satan? We live in freedom in Christ Jesus our Lord. In whom there is no longer any condemnation.
The world is placing man and man’s rights above the reverence of, and the love of God. Self is being placed higher than the love of God. misplaced love for man and his desires without God. Exchanging the truth of God for a lie. They worship people and their rights above God. Worshipping the creature rather than the creator.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:21-23
I was interested in what the head of the Italian football league said. “It will be impossible to totally eradicate racism from football. He is right, as every person has the right to their own views. Some people will never stop having racist views. Most views are taught. The only time all of these social issues will be sorted for good is when we live on the new earth, at the end of the tribulation (Jacob’s trouble).
Man chooses to focus on social injustice, rather than accept their own sinful lifestyle without Christ. They live in darkness and want to stay in darkness. Wherever we look, social justice is large in the media. Social justice stands in part for freedom to what the minority of the people feel is right. They want to continue in their life of sin, because they see it as their right. Their right to do what pleases them, rather than God. It is the promotion of so-called good, without God. Self-Righteousness!
“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practises the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:18-21
This is the truth, the word of God. The world hates the Light and because the Light will expose the evil that is in their hearts. This piece of the words of Christ says that they have already been judged. Not by Christians, but by God, because they have not believed in the Lord Jesus. Evil has been judged and condemned, just as the author of Evil, Satan is condemned
The world gaslights the true christian world by accusing us of being intolerant towards them because of what the Bible says. The truth is that they are more against us because of what the Bible reveals about them, than we are against them. We long for the world to come to the truth of the knowledge of the love of God.
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:15-17
We have to guard our hearts from the ways of the world. The world tries to influence and overrule us with its own standards of morality. Saying that things that are bad (sinful), are now accepted as being good for those who practise what is evil in God’s eyes.
We are not of the world, In the world but of Christ; Of the Kingdom of Heaven. We are told not to love the world nor the things of the world. That includes not being in agreement with the ways of the world. We are a people of faith in Christ. Hear the word of Jesus:
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Tribulation of the saints is building in our society. It comes as increasing opposition to the truth of the word of God. People who do not believe in God, and the Son Jesus, cannot attack God, so they attack and accuse those of us who do believe. It is getting to the point where we cannot preach the Gospel. This is because they do not like the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
Our encouragement comes from the Word of God. Through our faith in the Lord we have overcome the world, even under the growing persecution. In the west we have not yet got to the point of being persecuted to death. The world shouts loud for freedom of speech; freedom to promote its ideas for fairness and equality. While at the same time squashing the Christians freedom of speech, and promoting truth.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:4-6
Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world, (the devil). We have to understand that we are in a spiritual battle. When God says that He has given them over to a depraved mind, it means that God is not protecting the people from the deception of the devil. He, our enemy, is the prince and ruler/power of the air, whose aim is to deceive and destroy our faith in the Lord.
Be of good courage and stand, for our battle is not against flesh and blood but it is a spiritual battle, which Jesus has already won on our behalf. Stand on the Word of God. Be bold and be strong for the Lord our God is with us.
