How can one have freedom at the expense of one losing their freedom for another's freedom? When does the balance of freedom come? Has there ever been a perfect balance? How can anyone justify their freedom over anyone else? How can one say my freedom is right, and you are wrong. Therefore, your freedom is invalid when you disagree with another's freedom?
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness."
Thomas Jefferson
If we take one right at the expense of others, we then become the
oppressor. Conform to my ideals or else be penalized. It is in the cause of
freedom. The freedom that is forced is not freedom at all; tyranny a threat to
the conscience of liberty.
"The people of our land need to be aroused to resist the advances
of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty,"—The Spirit of
Prophecy 4:382. – {ChS 163.2}
As Christians, we must tread very carefully how we approach worldly
things. Some Christians disguise the gospel in liberation theology.
Liberation Theology is a danger to the advancement of the gospel. Hundley (), "Liberation Teleology's greatest threat
to Christianity is its tendency to allow the gospel of Christ to be swallowed
up by Marxism. God is seen as the "hidden force" behind Marxism, and
the New Testament is merely a collection of useful illustrations of Marxist
truths."” ().
The very origin of this belief stems from Carl Marx. We must conform to
the ideals of others at the very expense of our moral beliefs.
"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."
John F. Kennedy
Hundley (), "Second, the
liberationist movement revives the doctrine of universalism. Adherents ignore
man's spiritual needs and concentrate on bettering mankind's physical condition.
Universalism is heretical and undermines the biblical doctrine of salvation
through faith in Christ alone." (). Sin is the cause of the
condition of the world. Sin is the root of the problem. Just concentrating on
better mankind physical condition; is like a man not taking a bath a few days
and just spraying cologne. It's going to smell sour and your not getting any
better unless you take a shower. Through the gospel alone we can reach the
hearts of man and change the world's condition. What God calls sin still sin.
Force of any kind is. Diabolical and is not in the cause of good but the cause
of the evil one. Hundley (), "Third, advocating
violence to obtain social justice could result in a bloodbath. Millions of
innocent people could be killed by uncontrolled violence sweeping through the
continent."(). Not everyone will accept
the change that society is advocating. In the wake of the equality of marriage
Scotus ruling, you have people of faith in a conflict of being forced to accept
the new law. Some seem to think that others beliefs should shift to hold the
same view. The fact is that no one has the right to force some one's hand on
anything. How can you justify that and say we live in a free society. Hundley (), "Fourth, the acceptance of Liberation
Theology will almost certainly spell destruction for the church. History shows
that Marxism, happy for ecclesiastical support before a revolution, turns
against the church afterward."().
History reports show that a socialist society does not respect the
Christian church. Christians and even other beliefs live in the hardship of
persecution. Hundley (), "Fifth, if
liberationism continues to spread among the Protestant denominations of Latin
America, it will push them toward revolutionary social action and reduce them
to mere social agencies and strategy centers for guerrilla warfare to the
exclusion of evangelism for spiritual conversion to Jesus Christ"().
At one time, the Vatican opposed this theology but now adapt to it even
practice and endorse it through the current Pope Francis. Destruction of
Protestantism is the goal of The Papacy. Using climate change, and the
condition of the world to call for change. Not to mention a call for Sunday
rest for the world secular as well as religious. Never once is repentance of
sin and accept Jesus as your love and savior on the mouths of any leader of the
world. The Christians who dare to speak the truth I love are attacked a
demonized by media and other self-proclaimed Christians as bigoted and hate
mongers. Society has gotten the point it hates God. When you have gay pride
festivals, depicting a mockery of Jesus without consideration to any
Christians. People have turned away from God all do to the fact of
misrepresenting what God is and freedom is. Freedom is through grace, through
the love of God. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but
grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves
slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading
to death or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that
though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of
doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you
became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness
of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness,
and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as
slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were
free regarding righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of
which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having
been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to
holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6: 15-23 NKJV)
Freedom of choice is liberty, but not to those to life before they are
born. Oh, it's my body I can do whatever I want it is my choice. I death
sentence was set before someone who could have invented the cure for cancer; if
they were giving he opportunity to live. Doesn't seem fair you had the right to
life but not for the innocent life you have breathing within you. Babies don't
get the opportunity to speak on their choice how covenant. It has the principle
as censoring someone with by penalizations. Society comes up with
rationalizations to make it sound normal to kill the unborn. Hitler and his
Nazis made the same mandate when they said they were a superior race, and Jews
were less than human. The same can be said for slavery domesticating a fellow
man deeming him to be less than what God made him be. God made man in his
image, but you have other people defacing what God calls his image. Are we
making the same mistakes Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NKJV) That which has been being what will be, That
which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.
So I say it liberation or disaster? Can we do what God has called us to
do and speak the truth in love to one another. Share the gospel with the whole
world and not get caught in the shadows of worldly theology but kingdom
theology. Grace is free and gives true freedom which man tries to subjugate
with his ideals only to oppress.
"For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son."
Sacrifice for us but never forced us to love back free will God gave a choice.
The man gives us subjugation. Will you be chained to the ideals that would
hinder your very freedom or choose life through Christ and follow freely in
obedience out of love. The choice is yours giving freely without force.
Amen
