The West’s War on God
American Thinker ^ | 27 May, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 05/27/2024 4:21:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Marxist globalism is an evil religion.

Perhaps the most startling quality of world leaders today is that they do not believe in much beyond their own wants and needs. Many will feign a belief in God for the sake of appearances, but true believers are hard to find. In the West, where Christianity has shaped society for two thousand years, it is more common to find governments punishing Christians for their faith than to see biblical doctrine defended.

Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen, a rare Christian politician in our overwhelmingly secular times, has spent the last several years defending herself against criminal “hate speech” charges for quoting the Bible. Prosecutors claim that her religious convictions concerning marriage and morality are “insulting” and “degrading” and violate “sexual rights.” Furthermore, her accusers insist that the State “can limit freedom of expression in the outward expression of religion.”

Such despotic statements amount to nothing less than full-throated attacks against religious freedom. Faithful Christians are not Christian for merely an hour or two during church service each week. They do not slip in and out of their Christian identity as a worker might put on overalls and gloves. Believers walk the walk in everything they do. For Finnish authorities to demand that Räsänen hide her faith is to demand that she no longer be a practicing Christian. Only a government that believes in nothing beyond its own power would command a citizen to obey the State by disobeying God.

Finland is far from the only Western nation putting God on trial. During the “Reign of COVID Terror,” New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States, and most of Europe waged a perverse kind of spiritual war against churches and congregations. Priests, pastors, and rabbis were threatened with criminal charges for opening their doors...

I think the COVID lockdowns were a wakeup call.

God must show him(her)self in order for people to believe in God. At least, that’s what most people believe.

But, God is visible in everything we see or touch or hear or taste or smell or think about. It just takes a mind to notice that, nothing would be possible without a creator, and even the whole of the universe would not exist.

Why do we have a brain? Everything about us and all living things is about interactions, and that requires decisions that came from a creator. God made and continues to make infinite number of decisions that make us and the world and universe, as we are and will be.

Existence is not about chaotic circumstances that just happned to make us and the universe what we are today. Nothing would exist withou a creator, not even the simplest of organism or the simplest of objects; not even the atom would exist, and not even the components of atoms. All that had to come from somewhere and the intelligent that went itno making things, is not ‘just there’. Everything came from somewhere and everything has a purpose, and God is the creator of everything, and He/She/It/Whatever, is not done yet.

You want to see a Christian state leader who is stepping up in defense of traditional Christian values? Let me introduce you to Vladimir Putin. Over the past three years the Russians have passed law after law outlawing all of the various perverted, trans, woke, child exploitive Western initiatives. Russia is a diplomatic bulwark against globohomoism. Putin is the modern Charles Martel for all the world’s traditional religions as they struggle against globohomoist hegemony.

“I think the COVID lockdowns were a wakeup call.“

They were. So was the stolen election. So was the permanent bail-less jailing of the J6 people. So was the kangaroo court assembled to get Trump.

Oh yes; they were indeed (more information later tonight)

COVID-19(84) was an excellent dry run for the coming Antichrist Mark of the Beast.

And the tyranny was WORLDWIDE. 🌎🌏🌍

These things, including Israel and Iran (Turkey too)
are harbingers of things to come.

(criminal “hate speech” charges for quoting the Bible)

In certain fictional End Times movies (often not very good but...) Tribulation Saints were called "haters" because they were Bible-believers.



MSNBC and NBC News sponsored the Global Citizen Festival in 2014 - not sure about other years



The 2014 Global Citizen Festival was the one where the whole audience worshiped Obama when his image appeared on the screen in front of them (pre-recorded video)



Look at nearly every mindless idiot in that audience.

Appears that the cop, state trooper, security aren't doing it. Maybe a couple of others.

“”God must show himself in order for people to believe in God. At least, that’s what most people believe.””

If the Lord God did, it would terrify the world! But then the day after, those in power would suddenly say...’YOU PEOPLE DID NOT SEE WHAT YOU JUST SAW! IS THAT CLEAR!”
It would be blamed on mass hysteria, bad food, drugs, hallucinations or “other gods”.

And the people would say...”SIR, YES SIR!”

He showed himself to those Israelis fleeing Egypt and terrified them so much they begged Moses to be an intermediary between them and God.

“It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods".

It is the great alternative faith of mankind.

Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God."

The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.

It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world.

It is the vision of man's liberated mind, by the sole force of its rational intelligence, redirecting man's destiny and reorganizing man's life and the world.

It is the vision of man, once more the central figure of the Creation, not because God made man in his image, but because man's mind makes him the most intelligent of the animals. Copernicus and his successors displaced man as the central fact of the universe by proving that the earth was not the central star of the universe.

Communism restores man to his sovereignty by the simple method of denying God.”

(Whittaker Chambers)

Pretty much.

Almighty God is so Perfect and Holy that we cannot behold His face (in our human state) without dying due to our sin.

Exodus 33:20-23
21st Century King James Version

20 And He said, “Thou canst not see My face, for there shall no man see Me and live.”

21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock.

22 And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand while I pass by;

23 and I will take away Mine hand, and thou shalt see My back parts, but My face shall not be seen.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+33%3A20-23&version=KJ21

Something similar happened when the Apostle John met Jesus Christ in Heaven:

Revelation 1:17
21st Century King James Version

17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, “Fear not; I am the First and the Last.

A huge number of word leaders are childless atheists. They only worship power.

Now you’ve done it. They started passing those laws around 2011. Obama took it very personally.

More awareness of history is needed. Are westerners really worse now in God’s eyes than when they were paying lip service to him but tolerating slavery, feudalism, disastrous wars, pogroms, and a murderous Catholic “church”?

Interesting take. I think you are right on target. If Jesus showed up today and worked miracles and it was seen by all, conspiracy theories would explode, people would mock, even religious leaders would treat it with disdain.

I think you have it exactly right about the number of people that would still refuse to believe.

If the Lord God did, it would terrify the world!

And yet, He/She does manifest Him(Her)self in just about everything, and everywhere. People just refuse to see. They don't want to be accountable, so, to them being free of God's will isi the ultimate freedom. God does not control everything we do, and building free will into his creations is the ultimate freedom. Nothing happens in the world without God having permitted it. even the best and the worst; people are free to do with their lives as they wish, and God does not force Him(Her)self on people. Without free will, people would just be God's robots, and God does not need or want that.
