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.

Here are some made in America companies that another Freeper found on the Donald.win a while back. Not quite the same as Christian and conservative but definitely a place to look. And I wouldn’t be surprised if many of these are Christian owned even if not advertised that way.

That link must be getting over loaded with hits or something now. I can’t seem to connect to it.

I think we will all have to do a thorough search on what institutions we choose to change over to.

I would hate to hook up with the same beast, but a different head of it, being disguised as a Christian institution.

Re: “Delete the Big Tech apps from their phones and your own.”

Okay, but the OS of your phone is probably either google or Apple, so you’d have to delete the OS too. Might as well just toss the phone.

"Jesusland" sounds like a theme park

He's co-opting the smear that leftists have been insulting us with since 2004 embracing it.

Yes thanks for explaining that. I thought the same but his article was so good I was assuming that name was a little tongue in cheek.

absolutely, just because they use the label of Christian, doesn’t mean they are, but by their fruits we will know them. If they are embracing wokeness, donating to leftist causes, trashing conservatives, etc, then they out themselves.

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

I don’t know, maybe they told the truth. 😁

“Perhaps America deserves to suffer..“

Careful. You’re falling for the deep state lies. Go back and read the Bible, and read what this thread is about.

I’m going to start a ping list for those interested in following developments in the Silent Secession movement. So this will relate to any companies/technologies that are owned/run by Christians and conservatives, that do not donate or promote communism, progressivism (same thing), wokeness, racial anything (let’s just be colorblind, please), censorship etc. Please let me know if you want on or off the ping list, and as I see articles posted I will ping you.

Being focused on a site that is purely "Christian" is dangerous.

Consider the Catholic church presently. oops! A beautiful church burned down in NYC. Turns out, in recent years it had become the center of the blm movement, embraced the lgbtqxyz. The church was "Christian".

Then there are many Christian leftist. Do we want to buy from them?

Although we want to shun Amazon, there are many Christian sellers there. They have no other place to sell right now. If Goya sells at Amazon, should we not buy that product? Would anyone have stayed at a Trump hotel before he was our President?

Then there's "Patriot". Someone who loves his Country and would give his life for it. This patriot happens to be a Veteran. He happens to be Jewish. Will we no longer buy from him?

Credit Unions were mentioned. I belong to a credit union and can't wait to get out. WHY? Found out they are anti Trump.

Thrift stores are great to buy old USA products and what nots. But who runs them?

Point is, do we really need all the stuff that we buy? The latest gadgets? Do we need that cell phone when a flip phone or land line will do?

Buy locally. But what if that your enemy who runs it?

I'm not sure what to do. There's no perfect solution.

Think I'll watch the snow fall...

God created it.

We can shoot down pretty much any idea. I’m sure the patriots in 1774, 75, 76 were told their ideas were stupid, dangerous, would get them all killed.

I’m glad they didn’t sit back and just do nothing.

As I said earlier, yes anyone can call themselves Christians, but by their fruits you will know them.

Of course you dont just say “yay they use Christian in their names,”. In fact if they use Christian I am sometimes more suspicious. But look at the ownership and what they promote.

“By their fruits” (a Biblical reference) I mean, do they promote, donate to, put banners on their websites promoting anthing like this:
Do they promote LGBTQXYXABC agenda?
Do they promote the disastrous woke PC agenda?
Do they promote communism leftism in any form?
Do they censor? Blacklist? Do they think it’s a good idea to cancel conservatives?
Who do they donate to?

We cant just do nothing. Good grief we might as well just curl up in a ball and die. I dont choose to live that way. Do your best, research , use discernment, and dont give up. This will take work and lots of us researching and working together.

so are you saying don’t cash our paychecks. Cut out all our phone service. Have no access to new or communications with other people. Just so that we don’t fork our money over to people that hate us?

Not being able to cash our checks means no food, no rent, no power.
