The Silent Christian Secession
Gab News ^ | February 1, 2021 | Andrew Torba

Posted on 02/02/2021 11:47:10 AM PST by boxlunch

Over the course of the past week Gab has been deplatformed by one of our banks, a business we were working with to source new server hardware, third-party infrastructure analysis software, and even our accountant.

This isn’t anything new for us. We’ve been deplatformed by 25+ service providers including both app stores, PayPal, dozens of payment processors, hosting providers, email services, and more.

When this happens I rejoice and praise God because I know that He is working to separate the wheat from the chaff. This deplatforming inevitably reforms Gab into an even more resilient community, business, and platform. We don’t just sit around and whine when these things happen, we immediately get to work.

We aren’t victims, we are builders. Personally I don’t believe the common Christian mantra to “be in the world, but not of the world” means giving the enemy our money, time, and data.This has got to stop, right now.

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

I am in the process of transitioning every part of my financial expenses to support Christian businesses, Christian media companies, Christian content creators, and Christian people.

I am done giving my money to The Enemy and funding the destruction of our country and values. I encourage everyone else to do the same. If they are not serving God, they are serving Satan and I’m simply not going to fund that activity.

Deeply examine the businesses, brands, and media companies you currently support both financially and with your time. If they are virtue signaling critical theory nonsense or owned by demons you should immediately stop paying them and using their services. At this point we have no choice but to “build our own” everything. That starts by supporting those who are already building and share our values. It’s not about simply building our own social networking platforms anymore, it’s about building our own Christian economy. One without cancel culture. One that doesn’t embrace the demonic and degenerate cult religion of critical theory.

Critical theory (cultural marxism, the cult of social justice, etc) is a fraudulent, vapid, and pathetic subversion of well-meaning Christians, churches, and Christian values in general.

It lures decent God-fearing people into practicing a false and demonic pseudo-religion designed to accelerate their spiritual and literal demise. It preys on the malleable minds of our youth. It enslaves those who practice it and seeks to destroy those who do not.

It is a demonic imitation gospel and most certainly not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It must be mocked, shunned, and rebuked by all Christians. Now is not the time to sleepwalk through history on this subject. We must know the enemy’s fake gospel better than they know it themselves so we can lead others away from it and towards to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Talk to your kids about these things. Homeschool them if at all possible. Cut the cable cord. Delete the Big Tech apps from their phones and your own. We have a lot of work to do, but remember that we have the Creator of the Universe on our side. Through Him all things are possible.

I was talking about some of these things with a friend this morning and she used a term that made a lot of sense to me: “the silent secession.” At the moment this secession is largely digital and economic, not geographical, but perhaps that will change at some point in the future. I, for one, am in full support of Jesusland.

https://news.gab.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Jesusland-1024x929.png

America is a Christian nation. The foundation of Western Civilization itself is built on Christianity and more specifically: on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. The second that changed is the second the destruction began.

Our Christian “kindness” and “tolerance” have fueled our own destruction and have been weaponized against us. Tolerance is not a Christian virtue. We are commanded to hate that which is evil (Psalm 97:10, Romans 12:9) not to fund it and give our time to it.

We have naively believed that pagans and others would not cut us down the moment they got into power as we are seeing unfold before our eyes over the past few decades. Lesson learned. A tough one to learn, but one that has been learned many times throughout history.

1 John 2:15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

It’s time to start adhering to this Biblical standard.

Absolutely. We have to self sacrifice a little and search for the lesser known products and services and support them.

I like all your ideas. And we must also convince our Christian/conservative friends to do likewise.

Perhaps you should make this a 'ping' thread for information about Christian businesses and Christian supported businesses. It does appear that this is going to be an important portion of the 'resistance' movement ... sort of a Left Behind resistance.

After all - this IS war! You can sign me up. I have been contacting all sorts of Repubs today with a similar message {Liz Cheney is not one of them!}

I think this is a great thread. I don’t know if you have time for it but I support Bob Ireland’s suggestion that you make a pinged thread for this ongoing effort.

The MSM always pretends they and their lies are in the majority. Well then they won’t mind “a few” conservatives using the same tactics they use. Let’s vote with our feet.

Good idea, I dont know how to do that but will support that idea in any way I can!

So anyone perusing this thread, let’s start adding names of businesses we know of that are owned/managed by Christians and conservatives and start trying as much as possible to support them and absolutely do not support the tech, woke, regressive tyrant companies. (I say regressive because they want to regress to feudal times, that’s all communism “progressivism” really is.)

Just found this with a quick google search for Christian owned banks. I’m sure there are many others. I’d like to find a local bank or credit union if possible

https://www.mycccu.comYour Money Building God’s Kingdom.

At Christian Community Credit Union, our focus is on people, not profits. We help build God’s Kingdom by partnering with individuals and ministries to help them manage their money in a God-honoring way. The money you deposit helps provide affordable loans to churches, ministries, and their members. Whether it’s constructing or remodeling a new church building or funding a home loan, your money is working in the Christian community. Plus, when you use our credit and debit cards for purchases, you are giving to missions. To date, the Credit Union has donated more than $5 million to ministry and missions projects in the U.S. and around the globe.

What sin did Gab supposedly commit to justify all of the de-platforming?

Gab allows conservatives to speak freely without censorship. the left hates that.

***Good idea, I dont know how to do that but will support that idea in any way I can!***

I haven't done it either, but you just have to start promoting it. See if there are already 'Christian' threads on FR. Ask Jim Robinson if you like.

There is a regular Prayer Thread but it restarts regularly and I do not know if a 'ping' post is appropriate. That thread is moderated by stars & stripes forever ... he could possibly help you get the word out. I will 'ping' him to this thread.

There is a Linux phone available too ... you need to be good at tinkering to make use of it though.

I am good at tinkering. Though I pretty much get bored tinkering these days, I despise the DS and their minions. I’ll be looking into that Linux phone very soon and will learn to stop being bored and love tinkering.

I really wish Facebook didn’t corner the market on Messaging apps (quite frankly, I think Messenger is more evil than Facebook itself). Telegram is frigging excellent, but nobody I know wants to switch. Idiots.

Looks like the libs pretty much got their Net Neutrality anyway ... all of those people killed by Net Neutrality repeal for nothing ... (I forget which DC moron said that Net Neutrality repeal would lead to the deaths of millions ... Net Neutrality deaths was a running joke on The _Donald for a long time :-) ).

Not Android or iOS :-).

Again, you’ll have to tinker on occasion ... but it is getting more reliable by all accounts.

I dumped FB around the election time. The thing that held me back was some groups I was in, and being able to easily communicate with my brother in South America.

But after this past year, we need a slogan for conservatives like the old drug wars slogans.

#JUSTSAYNOtoFACEBOOK
#JUSTSAYNOtoTWITTER
etc etc.

Amen!

“Tolerance is not a Christian virtue. We are commanded to hate that which is evil (Psalm 97:10, Romans 12:9) not to fund it and give our time to it.”

this is so true. “tolerance” is a leftist infiltration through liberal churches. never was a part of Christianity or our Lord’s teaching.

Tolerance has been the rot in the core of our modern American Christianity. You can be kind, even to sinners (we all are sinners) but being tolerant isn’t being kind, it’s leaving them to their judgement and us to the horrible horrible consequences of their unbridled sins.

Although this store is local, they do have an ecommerce website. It features only products that have been made in the USA (hence the store name).

Made In America Store

>Name one

All of them, and all now coopted by haters.

Western Civ didn’t end up on top because of random chance or skin tone but because of Christian principles in understanding the world and man’s place in it.

Without those, our present situation is crumbling as in the analogy of building on sand. What is built on bedrock will prevail.
