Apostate Morality :: By Dan Payne

A false liberal socialist “morality” is cascading throughout our society like a massive tsunami. It is a false and substitute “morality” based upon evil deception. Those who identify with this apostate morality vigorously label people who hold opposing views as “racists,” “bigots,” “homophobes” “intolerant,” etc.

They say it’s “immoral” to live in a nice house or to be wealthy, yet Vladimir Lenin himself enjoyed wealth and lived in a mansion after he rose to power in Russia, let alone all of the entertainment elites who enjoy a wealthy lifestyle.

They say it’s “immoral” to lower taxes yet they proudly support stealing that which was earned through hard work: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

They say it’s homophobic and bigoted to believe in the Bible’s definition of gender and procreation yet they proudly break the laws of God and nature.

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).

They say it’s racist to protect America with a border wall and help those who work the hardest receive the best offers for jobs and education, yet they proudly march and chant one race over another.

They say it’s murder to carry out capital punishment, yet they proudly murder their own unborn children.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness” (Matthew 23:25-28).

(People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.)

Here’s one small but enlightening example of a turning away from traditional American family values (IMO): Which canine do you think best identifies with a rebel, a fighter, or perhaps even a terrorist – a Pit Bull or a Golden Retriever? Would it surprise you to know that Pit Bull Terriers now outrank every other dog breed in America by popularity when compared against each specific dog breed? [1]

Pit Bulls outrank traditional family-dog favorites like Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, etc. when not compared with a collective breed group (for example all large retrievers compared to Pit Bulls instead of just Labrador Retrievers compared to Pit Bulls, etc.).

Owning a Pit Bull instead of a Beagle is certainly not wrong but the overall transition away from so called “family friendly” dog breeds to a breed noted for its aggressiveness toward children and smaller dogs is noteworthy.

Another example of turning away from traditional American values is the incessant attacks against those who support traditional values. Those who launch such attacks fit the definition of hypocrisy. One needs to look no further than the daily news headlines intended to maul the character of those who attempt to govern according to traditional law and order.

Take for example the recent attacks on the character of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and even against his own son. [2] These “news” articles reek of the stench of the false apostate morality professed by the self-appointed Pharisees of the socialist media.

In order for a country containing a representative government to remain truly free, they themselves must be ruled by a biblically based morality within their hearts. The majority of citizens under an elective government cannot be apostates against biblical morality because apostates elect apostates. A so called “democracy” or a Republic, such as is the United States of America, cannot be ruled by apostasy.

As the second president of the United States, John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Since the majority of American citizens at that time were loyal to biblical morality, John Adams did not have to specify that he was referring to Christians, and for Christians living 200 years later in America, that is becoming a nightmare.

Most people take offense to what offends them personally. Since true Christians are born-again of the Spirit of God, they should be offended by what offends God. They should be offended by just about all forms of popular entertainment these days—such as the taking our precious Lord’s name in vain (as it is done routinely in the vast majority of all mainstream entertainment).

If you are indeed a true born-again Christian, don’t think it is strange if you are increasingly offended by the same news and entertainment outlets which you have engaged in over the years; they have become much more offensive.  Rather, think it a strange thing if you are not.

Woe to those who call evil good…
