    “Hate Speech” Laws:  New Phase of Antichrist Tyranny

    For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

    Rom 10:3)

     

              The advancement of “Hate Speech” legislation in recent times, even at the federal level is the latest phase in the assault on the righteous heritage inherited from our forefathers in the course of modern history since the time of the Reformation and continuing down to the present in our beloved United States.  It should be very apparent to any with even a small amount of discernment, that these new laws are being proposed by those who hate God, would stifle free speech and ultimately seek to control the thinking of the masses of our citizenry.  An agenda of homosexuality is perhaps the driving force behind this movement.  Changing what we believe about right and wrong is at the heart of it all.

              Let us think for a moment about the logic in these new social rules of conduct.  If hate is outlawed, then thoughts of hatred, from which hateful speech is always derived must, of necessity be violations as well.  One problem, and there are many problems to this new form of social control, is the determination of what is legitimate or illegitimate in the mind of a person, and in his speech.  Who is it exactly that makes this determination of what is hate and what is not?  Of course, the determiners must be entirely secular in their outlook, at least with regards to the Bible, which is God’s measuring rod of righteousness and morality.  These new judges of the social consciousness must generally be in rebellion to the moral commandments of God, and, thus seek to exalt all that is opposed to His law.  Sexuality is the great battleground between the forces of right and wrong in our day.  The liberation of womanhood from the “oppressive” constraints imposed upon it historically by men was perhaps the first step in that moral-social war.  The securing of the “right” to abortion on demand was a milestone victory for those forces.  Fornication then became a legitimate way of life.  The assault continued, and continues today in the form of social acceptance of homosexual living, even to the point of legitimizing of marriage between members of the same sex.  Much can be said of the history of this struggle in recent times and the disastrous effects these defeats of goodness have had in our present world.  But the enemies of God and of His righteousness will not be satisfied until the entire world is entirely under the rule of Satan and His antichrist minions.

              We know from scripture that it is spiritual forces in the heavenly realms that are behind the rebellion against God’s sovereignty, though it is live humans that carry out this plan of rebellion against Him.  Prayer is the weaponry of the righteous, but they are also commanded to stand, and not yield to the advances of darkness.  Secret prayer must be accompanied by public obedience to Christ in speaking the truth of the Gospel, and in speaking out against the lies perpetrated in the name of the new righteousness.  Homosexuality is a perversion of nature, and an act of sin against the only true, holy God.

              Are we being intimidated by these forces that are seemingly in control of our country and our world today?  Are we capitulating to their lies and, passively assenting to their deception by our silence and conformity to the new social order?  Compromise with evil invites more evil and does nothing to advance good.  Cowardice in the face of wrong merits a forfeiture of purity and virtue, and the favor of the Almighty, bringing dishonor to the holiness of His name.  God is not mocked:  what is right cannot be changed to what is wrong, and visa versa.  Truth cannot be effectively suppressed indefinitely.  Those who are willing to pay the price and make the sacrifice to see it prevail will have their reward in the end.  “Can a good tree bear bad fruit, or a bad tree bear good fruit?”  Let us decide for once and for all whose we are, and what is necessary for the world to see it unmistakably.  The early Christians were not ashamed of their Lord, and neither are many today who are being persecuted in far off lands.  Should we be any different?  For the true follower of Christ, speaking the truth in love may well be construed as “hate speech.”  A part of the reproach of Christ is the misunderstanding of the world and bearing the shame of the cross before a wicked and perverse generation.  Are we willing to do this?

     

    And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.  Dan. 12:3

     

    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  Matt. 24:12,13
