False Christian teachings, trends….
The following brief video is by Polite Leader; it explains the contemporary seeker sensitive church movement. He mentions several well known seeker sensitive mega church pastors, but his chief purpose is to explain the fundamentals of the movement so you might recognize them when you encounter them in your neighborhood. Additionally, there are links to related articles on preachers that were discussed.
The 6 minute trailer, Agenda: Grinding America Down, by Curtis Bowers, gives specific tactics the left has been using to transform America into a socialist nation, a precursor to communism. Many supporters of leftist dogma are being duped to aid in this transformation – duped, because if they knew what was coming they would be opposing it. If you are not current on the leftist tactics playing out all around you in America, then please watch this trailer.
Belief in a higher power is anathema to the atheist Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that for 100 years has sought to command absolute loyalty and control over its members and the Chinese people. “They just cannot handle an allegiance other than to the state,” Sam Brownback, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, told The Epoch Times. As a result, successive Party leaders have launched campaign after campaign to crush and control people of faith in China. Mao Zedong, the first CCP leader, who oversaw one of the most thorough campaigns to dismantle Chinese religious life, compared religion to “poison” in a conversation with Tibet’s exiled leader, the Dalai Lama. In his autobiography, the Dalai Lama recalls Mao telling him in 1954 that religion “undermines the race” and “retards the progress of the country.”
Critical race theory (CRT) is now center stage in the culture war between left and right, emerging in recent months as one of the nation’s most contentious issues. On the surface, it may seem progressives are winning as CRT infects schools across America, but the fight against this racist indoctrination is really a winning issue for conservatives. …The media portrays CRT as a serious academic field confined to law schools. MSNBC guest host Zerlina Maxwell, for example, said last week that CRT “refers to the study of structural racism and it’s not taught until college or graduate school, law school. It’s a law school class, everybody …. So, let’s start by making it completely crystal clear at the top of this interview, that critical race theory is not taught before law school.” …It’s telling how adamant the Left is about CRT only being taught in law school. Evidently, they know how bad it would look for CRT to be taught to younger kids. Which of course is happening across the county. …Parents don’t want their children learning CRT—and are increasingly willing to say so publicly.
Editor’s Note: Some of the accounts in this article contain graphic and disturbing details of torture and other forms of degrading treatment. Founded in July 1921, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has wreaked death and destruction on the Chinese populace for a century. Armed with the Marxist ideology of “struggle” as its guiding principle, the CCP has launched scores of movements targeting a long list of enemy groups: spies, landlords, intellectuals, disloyal officials, pro-democracy students, religious believers, and ethnic minorities.
Question 1. May someone who claims to believe in God support BLM? Q2. May a Christian support BLM? The answer is each case is a firm, no!
Why not?
Marxism is in direct opposition to any belief in God; it is definitely Anti-God, Anti-Christ, anti-family, anti-freedom, anti-property rights…; those are the highpoints. You cannot support a communist organization such as BLM, Freedom Road Socialist Organization; the CCP Progressive Association…and at the same time stand for the opposite (unless you do not understand what Marxism is about, and in that case, you only thought that you could do such a thing, out of your own ignorance about Marxism).
“For far too long, companies like Nike and Apple and Amazon and Coca-Cola were using forced labor. They were benefiting from forced labor or sourcing from suppliers that were suspected of using forced labor,” Rubio said on June 10. “These companies, sadly, were making all of us complicit in these crimes.”
Rights groups, researchers, former residents, and some Western lawmakers say that Xinjiang authorities have facilitated forced labor by arbitrarily detaining around one million Uyghurs and other primarily Muslim minorities in a network of camps since 2016. Sophie Richardson, China director for Human Rights Watch, told the Senate panel that Beijing’s “extreme repression and surveillance” made human rights due diligence impossible for companies.
…He said that he had attended the equity training three times: March 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021. He and other teachers were told early in the activity that “cultural competence was eventually going to be part of our evaluation process.” “To me, that meant ‘accept it. Or this could affect how we grade you and your job performance.’ It seems like it will lead to firing if they need to.” …“What we’re doing is we’re shining the light on what this board is doing. This board has had a secret enemies list. And the enemies list is designed to intimidate and to punish people who stand up against critical race theory and who stand up against this transgender madness that’s going on,” Black told The Epoch Times. “So anyway, I gave my speech. And when I gave the speech, everybody just went crazy. And the board retreated.”
Before becoming a Christian, he’d been attracted to the teachings of Malcolm X, who “denounced Christianity as a religion designed for slaves,” according to Brown. The theologian explained that such a worldview was incompatible with Christianity. But it was the exposure to those ideas gave him keen insight into “the nature of CRT and other ideologies that seek to politically weaponize race and undermine faith,” as Brown noted. …But he sees a darker side to these movements. Regarding Black Lives Matter, he writes in his book, “The organization is Marxist, revolutionary, feminist, misandrous, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-abortion, and anti-family, with roots in the occult. It is unacceptable for Christians to partner with, celebrate, identify with or promote this organization.”
“A Change is Coming” is a song with thought-provoking lyrics and music by Yulia and Patrick, the couple who formed The Temporary Residents, an Indie band that strives to craft sounds from different decades and classical traditions. “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been severely persecuting the Chinese people since it came into power in 1949. We think it’s clear from recent events that we can see that the evil nature of the CCP is dragging the whole world down,” the artists told The Epoch Times. “Times are tough but at the same time if you can still hold on to your upright beliefs, they will help you weather ‘the storm.’”
