I have seen this over and over. Pick the easy target of Christians and proclaim they are doing this or that wrong and subtly accuse them of being unholy or unrighteous. I witnessed this at the height of the homosexual revolution in the 1980s when many church leaders shrank back from the criticism of the left. These church leaders essentially told congregations across the country that we shouldn't single out homosexuality and we should love them as sinners. Of course we should, but I saw many, many leaders shame Christians into backing away from saying anything negative against the practice of homosexuality and even equating those who practiced this sin as the modern day leapers. Imagine that, those who practiced and advocated sin were akin to those who contracted a medical malady through no fault of their own. And here we are today with the White House being lit up with the homosexual flag. Yep, that's what happens when the church loses it's saltiness. And now we are being shamed and effectively told to stand down against real evil, real corruption, real injustice. Great, just stand down and get ready to kneel before your new masters. I will have none of it. I will continue to pray for revival in this nation and across the globe, but I will also continue to pray fire and brimstone against the wicked and unrighteous who have hardened their hearts against truth. It sure is a good thing this guy didn't live in the time of Moses and Pharaoh. He would have criticized Moses for taking a hard stance and told the Israelites it was their duty to work harder producing more bricks with less straw! Pffft...
Although this is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, there are examples of "believers" proclaiming such obedience to evil in the Old and New Testament. I would be surprised if such naysayers weren't saying just that to Moses in his day.
Christians, and Jews especially, are always the targets in the crosshairs in other faiths, especially atheism which I liken more to an anti-Christian faith than a non-faith stance. Atheist's seem absolutely fixated on Christianity and gives a cold shoulder to other religions in the world. When cornered, I hear that "it's only because Christians hold all of the power" as their argument for this bias. As a student of Marxism, I know this to be a Marxist argument against religion, especially Christianity and Judaism; (grossly paraphrasing here:) They don't walk away from their faith easily and are too willing to die for their belief, so the state should eliminate them society for the good of the Collective lest they pollute the minds of the people with their poisonous belief. Only then can society move onward toward Communism.
God spoke of this in the Bible and warned Jews first then later Christians that we would be persecuted for our faith and told us to stand fast and with him for we would be saved in our faith. You know, Blessed are the Martyrs.
In reality not all Atheists want to kill Christians; many just want to believe in themselves and not be subservient to some form of God. I respect that, but also respectfully disagree with their choice of faithlessness, but never would I try to forcefully convert them to the faith neither would I expect them to do likewise. That is free will and in my believe one of the gifts given to us by God. Unfortunately too many atheists believe that we Christians and our Jewish kin must perish because we somehow get in the way of their vision of a perfect society. That is where the focus of their hate becomes clear and where their recruitment of new followers takes a dark turn. That is where we faithful need to guard ourselves and each other and not "turn the cheek" like we should do from those whom respect our freedom.
In short, my point is forgive those whom forgive us and destroy those whom would destroy us.
The Good Book says to expel the evildoer from among you.
Day after day I will destroy
the wicked in our land;
I will expel all who are evil
from the city of the LORD.
Psalms 101:9
