The left doesn’t have a truthful (Biblical) worldview, and sees man as perfectable, if only the right institutions are given enough power.
I disagree with this in part, based on the many liberals I know. Their quest is not perfection, as they will admit that they have their faults. This leaves two scenarios...this is from the liberals themselves, mind you.
1. Mankind will undergo another sudden evolutionary change that will bring him closer to perfection. (I'm not kidding, I know people who believe this)
2. They have redefined good and evil. Good comes from the government; those who oppose such a evolution are evil. This godless system will eventually weaken all churches by revoking their tax exempt status. As the government proved that churches were not necessary to care for the poor, evidenced by welfare, the Churches now serve no purpose other than some impossible-to-prove belief - therefore false belief. The churches should not receive any favors from government.
If the Socialists get the power they want, the lessons of history instruct us to fear for our lives and property.
“They have redefined good and evil. “
Definitely. This is what “postmodernism” is all about. The definition of good & evil for people of this worldview doesn’t necessarily come from gov’t, though. Each person defines what is right and wrong, within their own “ethics”. Of course, then, EVERYONE is a “good person” because they inherently define right and wrong to be in alignment with how they want to live their lives anyway.
0bama even voiced this once: “Sin is being out of alignment with MY values” (emphasis added)
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
