Compromise

Description

A lot of Christians lately are giving in to false beliefs, all because of pressure to please, either from the media, the culture, or what the church leaders feels. Despite the fact that there's many Bible verses warning on giving in to what the world believes and teaches, that we are to be separate from the world and it's beliefs, many Christians change their mind about things that have always been taught, in the name of peace, love, and getting along with everyone.

On homosexual's, some Christians are accepting them and their lifestyle, only because the media and culture has pressured them to do it. Even when  I can see no other reason since the push for acceptance and getting everyone to sympathize with them and not being able to marry each other has started happening around the mid to late 90s. Rob Bell has done it. Recently one of the members of Jars Of Clay has done it. Certain other big name Christians are accepting the homosexual lifestyle as normal. It makes me wonder, what was their opinion of homosexuals 20-30 years ago? Did they approve of them then also? Or did they just give in to the pressure to accept their lifestyle because for the past decade the media has been demanding us to accept them? Wouldn't that mean the Christians and anyone who accepts homosexuals as normal would have to admit they were manipulated? And now Christians get attacked, lose their jobs, get called bigots over following what God has always taught them. The media and the world didn't even care so much for homosexuals until about a decade ago.

The book "After The Ball: How America will conquer it's fear & hatred of Gays in the 90's" by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen goes into detail on how to manipulate the public into accepting the homosexual lifestyle, especially on slick marketing campaigns and how to make people feel guilty on being against homosexuality. It's a book out of print, and kind of hard to find at a good price, but it's worth getting a copy if you can find it. What's really interesting is, most homosexuals have never heard of this book, even though on the cover it says it's a best seller.

On the belief that Christians think the U.S. is a Christian nation, and that we can do no wrong, that is a very dangerous way of thinking. To me, the U.S. is not meant to police the world. It's not a Christian nation, never was, never will be. Even though our country is filled with Christians, we have not made a positive impact in the world or set an example on how to think and believe as a Christian nation would. Our culture is filled with non-Christian things. We are supposed to put our love of Jesus before our country and we are supposed to expose the corruption our non Christian government does. Our military has gotten into the affairs of other countries, sometimes with bad results. We believe God is on our side just because of that belief we are a Christian nation and that we support Israel. What about other countries centuries ago throughout Europe that believed that God was on their side? I think the history has had consequences and maybe it's why Christianity in Europe is shrinking. Even our own countries history has shown we have persecuted Native Americans, Asians, Blacks and other minorities in the name of converting them to Christianity or because they were different and some kind of a threat.

The book "Myth Of A Christian Nation: How The Quest For Political Power is Destroying The Church" by Gregory A. Boyd goes into more detail on this. I recommend it.

Lots of Christians lately have given in to Catholic beliefs, in the name of unity. Even with the false teachings, the worship of idols and relics, the rituals and festivals, the history of bloodshed, the connections with corrupt politicians, the abuse scandals and much more, many mainstream Christian leaders are giving in to the Pope and the Catholic churches beliefs. They like to say some kind of positive thing about the Pope, even when they don't really do anything and are just men. They think joining with Catholics will make the world a better place. So much of what the Catholics believe and do is not mentioned in the Bible or is twisted out of context.

I don't know a whole lot of books that show what's wrong with Catholicism, but I did like "Reasoning From The Scriptures With Catholics" by Ron Rhodes, from what I have read of it at my church bookstore.

Compromise has hurt Christianity badly. There are so many blogs and videos online exposing people who have compromised God's word, just to please people or themselves.


“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). That time is now. There's far more compromise than ever before with Christians. I think it's going to get worse, especially when the Antichrist and False Prophet deceive the Christians who are not awake.
