The first thing that must occur is the thing to be eliminated must be marginalized. It's potency must be reduced to nothing, and its name must become synonymous with something very evil, or something that is very stupid.
Look at the pictures above. Before we could blow up Hiroshima, we had to first dehumanize the Japanese. We would have never been able to kill all of those innocent civilians if we had not marginalized their humanity first.
I believe Christianity is headed down the same path. Our faith is being marginalized at an alarming rate. How many times do you see comedians make fun of Allah, or Buddha? Now, how many times do you see Christianity ridiculed? Would you say it occurs daily?
Several movies come to mind that either make the Christian character really naive and stupid, hypocritical, crazy, or creepy. Watch this video from Truth in Action Ministries.
But, let us not be alarmed by all of this. Only, we should be aware. The lesson here is simply that we should know that our enemies are busy. They are advancing an agenda without one ounce of resistance. They are leading us to the slaughter and we are paving the road for them. Let us gird up our loins!!!!! Let us unite and call evil by its name. Let us no longer support media companies that defile the name of our precious lord. Let us be the peculiar people we are called to be and be of the world, but not it it.
Isaiah 5:20
English Standard Version (ESV)
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
English Standard Version (ESV)
Godlessness in the Last Days
3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will belovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
John 8:44
English Standard Version (ESV)
44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
