The Kind of World the Left Does Not, and Does, Want
They want a world where they, not God, control you
Here is the kind of world the Left does not want:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23).
Here is the kind of world the Left DOES want:
“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like” (Galatians 5:19-21).
“Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners” (I Corinthians 6:9-10).
I have often wondered why people would oppose a Christianity that teaches people should practice love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Who could object to any of that? And want the “works of the flesh” and horrors of I Corinthians 6:9-10?
Well, the answer to that lies in the fact that the Left wants a totalitarian government. They want to control you, what you do, what you think, everything about you. It’s not so much that they can tell you everything to do every day; they don’t care who you go to bed with, etc., only that they ALLOW you to do it. That’s the key. You must obey THEM, not God. You cannot have a higher allegiance to God than to their totalitarian government. So, you can be loving, etc., if you want to, if your “religion” says so, but only because the totalitarian Left ALLOWS you to practice that religion. Don’t be trying to convert people to it and telling them that God is greater than the government. That is about the worst crime you can commit.
Plus, look again at the “works of the flesh” and decadence listed in I Corinthians 6:9-10. What kind of society would exist if huge numbers of people practiced those things? A very chaotic, disorderly, crime-ridden society that would need a strong government to control it! Now, read again the “fruit of the Spirit.” What kind of society would be produced if everybody practiced those virtues? A very calm, orderly, righteous society that would need very little government. The latter isn’t what the Leftist totalitarian wants. Societal chaos is essential—at least until he has cowed everybody into obedience to the government. And even then, there will always be a few who need to have their guts ripped out, or who believe their religion strongly enough to require the re-education camp.
The greatest enemy of the Left is God. A righteous people, following God’s word, doesn’t need Leftist government. Religion must be destroyed or, at best, controlled very tightly.
