@OldeWorldOrder As it should be.
Love and care for those around us is inextricably linked to how we’ve chosen to live together. Our social contracts.
So we can’t love our families well without a civic and political sphere that reflects God’s Truth and fits how he made us.
@iamrjknight Sin makes it harder to see God. We don't want to see God when we are in sin.
But seeing God is why we hate sin.
We see the beauty of His holiness and experience his love and grace and desire to be like him. To cast off all weight of sin that hinders. Obedience from love.
@IMPERATORAUS The best cultures reflect God's nature and the Truth.
Others twist, ignore, and distain Truth.
And the people in those cultures suffer the consequences.
Their suffering is not what God wants, but He gives them the freedom to experience the consequences of their choices.
@OldeWorldOrder Yes. Obedience driven by love at the wonder of His grace and fear and awe at His power.
He loved us and pursued us. We have grace. We get to obey and, by doing so, bless those around us.
It surprises me to see people who still believe that Islam is just Christianity in funny hats with no bacon.
It is not. Sharia Law, which is the written embodiment of the Islamic legal rules as spelled out in the Koran, specifically authorizes and legalizes some combination of the following barbaric abuses of women:
• wife beating
• unilateral instant divorce declarations (by men only, of course)
• polygamy
• reduction of women’s rights to inherit
• spousal rape
• sexual slavery for female prisoners of war
• women’s testimony only counting half as much as men’s testimony in court
• honor killings of women, including those whose only “crime” was to have been raped, is not prohibited by Sharia law
• imprisoning women in their own homes, unable to leave unless accompanied by a man
• death for adultery, often by stoning (for both women and men, but rarely applied to men)
• infant marriage, and pedophilic sex legal at nine years of age
Not only that, but as the Pew Forum worldwide Muslim poll results below show, Sharia Law is the expressed preference of about 70% of Muslims worldwide. This means that the barbaric 7th-century laws authorizing inhumane abuses of women are NOT extremist Islamic views.
Those legalized Islamic abuses of women are the stated preference of a majority of Muslims worldwide.
Islam is not a religion. It is a terrorist cult that is 100% incompatible with Western ideas, ideals, and freedoms. It needs to be made illegal everywhere in the West.

@DefiyantlyFree Yes. Islam has religious zeal and tradition behind it. Deeper, more lasting motivations and loyalties.
Communism has envy and greed as motivators. Weak.
Islam will discard their useful communist idiots as soon as they are no longer needed.
@brivael Truth is on our side. Everything else will fall apart eventually because it all fights the way God made the world.
Doesn't mean we don't have a lot of work to do.
@goflockgo@CactusGordon@__Injaneb96@NYCMayor I genuinely think you don’t care enough about anything to do the hard work of building.
Really building is hard. In effort and emotion.
Tearing down and destroying is easy.
@Kristof_Poland An important lesson for those that advocate for socialism and communism.
But for those who produce, keep fighting, don't shrug. We need you. But don't just take the destruction of our culture. Fight for prosperity for our children and grandchildren.
@TruthFairy131 Capital punishment is a mercy. Give them a chance to repent and turn to Christ, then end them. Letting them continue to live and rack up punishment for themselves is not merciful.
Our lives are fleeting anyway, eternity is what matters.
@WHLeavitt Theft and fraud is slavery.
You are taking my money, my private property, that I bought with my life. Enslaving me.
God hates theft. Do not steal.
@Eric_Conn The church & its leadership must stop hiding from what's going on around us.
To ignore the Islam, communism, etc is to sacrifice our children's future and doom millions. It's not loving.
We must hurt feelings now with Truth so we don't end up with physical violence later.
@TomcatJunkie Amen. We want peace and prosperity for our families.
But, we are facing existential threats.
So, we don't have a way out of some form of conflict.
Let's hurt people's feelings now so we don't end up in a physical conflict later.
@KnightsTempOrg A hard choice. Both have blood. But only one has hope. May God help the UK (and the US) avoid civil war. He can do it, but he also allows us to experience the consequences of our actions and inaction.
