The Religion of Hatred

2/12/2020

 
I don't like writing this kind of post, but I feel I must if for no other reason than to personally work through the ever-escalating anti-Christian sentiments and developments taking place in the West. 

Alphabet people in the UK have effectively barred Franklin Graham, the son of the Billy Graham, from speaking anywhere in Great Britain. Their reason for pressuring the venues to drop Graham was succinct, simple, and straightforward - Frank Graham preaches hate. Yes, that's right. Franklin Graham's adherence to and promulgation of Christian morality amounts to hate in the contemporary UK. Full stop. End of story. 

This sort of anti-Christian action is nothing new, but as Dr. Bruce Charlton plainly points out in a post from yesterday, what makes the Franklin Graham barring particularly unsettling is its directness, explicitness, and magnitude:


This feels like another threshold crossed in the UK - because now the attacks on Christianity have become explicit and specific; there is now a high profile precedent for suppression of all public Christian meetings of any kind and size.

Up until now; the specificity of preventing Christians from gathering and evangelising has been indirect; masquerading as political (not religion) suppression - as being about the promotion of the sexual revolution agenda. 


I agree with Dr. Charlton's assessment - a threshold certainly has been crossed. Anti-Christianity has been on the official agenda for a long time, but rarely has it been this unqualified - this clear-cut and obvious. Up until now, attacks on Christianity were usually supported by some justifiable leftist pretext - gay rights, human rights, cultural sensitivity, etc. - but this no longer appears to be the case.

Now wait a minute, you might say, Franklin Graham was barred because he does not endorse homosexuality; hence, he is anti-gay. In this sense, the pretext is still there. But is it? If it is, why is this same excuse not applied to other organized religions in Western countries? Dr. Charlton writes: 

But this is undeniably specifically Christian; because while Christian evangelism is crushed to uniform approval from The Establishment and its mouthpieces; other religious that advocate (from the secular perspective) exactly the same sexual morality - Judaism, Islam, Sikhism etc - are by contrast publicly celebrated, government/ charity/ educational institution subsidised.

There are many officially propagandised and paid-for mass celebrations, festivals and consciousness-raising events in favour of these other religions.


Dr. Charlton has drawn attention to a valid point. While Christianity is being attacked left, right, and center (political intimations associated with the prior three words fully intended) for its sexual morality, other religions in the West that essentially espouse similar sexual moralities, sometimes in a far stricter manner, are not only spared, but are outright lauded and celebrated by the same forces laying siege to Christianity. 

My answer to this is the following - the Establishment is associating Christianity with everything it believes is wrong about the West; it has not done the same with most other religions. The Establishment attacks Christianity because they, correctly, view it as the spirit of the West. They have made great gains in dulling the light of this spirit in most of the West. And by the West I am referring specifically to Europe and the Anglo-West (America, Canada, Australia, etc.) Kill the spirit, the Establishment muses, and you kill the West. Kill the West, and the Establishment is one step closer to its coveted one-word totalitarian government.

The Establishment in the West support, endorse, and tolerate other religions primarily because they believe these religions can help erode Christianity in the West, but they won't hesitate to turn on them if Christianity is driven into the shadows. In the meantime, it is becoming expressly clear that the Establishment wants Christianity to be viewed as a religion of hatred.

On top of that, the Establishment no longer feels obligated to obfuscate or justify its anti-Christianity. It has reached a point when it can be openly, candidly, and specifically anti-Christian because it has successfully convinced a great many people in the West that Christianity, at its most fundamental level, is a religion of hatred. A religion of exclusion. A religion of oppression. A religion that essentially is/was the poison fuel that made/makes the West a civilization of hatred, exclusion, and oppression. Remove Christianity, and the West can throw off its shackles and become a place of love, inclusiveness, and freedom.

The Establishment has begun openly referring to Christianity as a religion of hatred without feeling the need to justify it in any way, shape, or form. Start getting used to this because this looks to be the new 'norm'. This pretty much falls in line with the Establishment's denunciation of Western civilization in general - a denunciation that has more or less been accepted as fact by most Westerners who are endlessly indoctrinated into believing that their civilization is reprehensible. This indictment against the West not only pushes everything negative to the forefront while simultaneously pushing everything positive into the background, but also involves a complete inversion of negative and positive until even the good Western civilization has done is considered evil. 

The same has been applied to Christianity, for the past two centuries at least, but with the exception of the French Revolution, it has rarely been as expressly clear and obvious as it is now. Simply put, in the Establishment's view, there is nothing good about Christianity. Nothing good at all. Not only is it outdated and oppressive, but it has become in-accommodable. In other words, it has no place in the contemporary world. Anyone who continues to adhere to Christianity - real Christianity, not the watered pablum the Establishment has hijacked and endorsed - will be immediately suspect and likely regarded as someone consumed by a hateful ideology.

If this sounds hyperbolic and overwrought, consider the carefully chosen words of a prominent UK political commentator who recently had the following to say about Viktor Orbán's defense of Christianity and Christian Europe: 


Race and power are entwined. When the right talks of “Christian Europe” or “Christian traditions”, it does not include black pentecostal churches in the inner cities. Christianity has become a synonym for “white”. When Orbán talks of defending “Christian Europe”, he is not defending religious dogma – only 15% of Hungarians go to church each week. He is advocating a modern version of the fascist conspiracy theory instead.

Christianity is now code for fascism and white-supremacy. Some leftist politicians have spouted similar rhetoric in Hungary when they referred to Christian families as 'scary formations' comprising the seedbed from which white supremacism and racism sprout. Those who deplatformed Franklin Graham in the UK were quick to point out Graham's support for US President Donald Trump. Man, what could more hateful than that? 


Christian persecution will intensify in the West. Count on it. Prepare for it. Above all, spiritually.

Note added: Of course the real reason the Establishment hates Christianity is this - the Establishment's overarching goal is mass damnation. The System they control is geared toward that purpose. Christianity presents a real, viable, and direct threat to that goal; hence, it must be done away with. Once and for all.

Yes Francis there are forces at large that seek not only our destruction in spirit but also in body and mind. It’s patently obvious while being blatantly denied. A Trojan horse sneaked in under the radar, in plain sight.
Once again it should be obvious, but it’s anything but. Really quite astounding.
And man that link from the guardian. Here’s another declaring war on “whiteness” a very common and increasingly acceptable theme in modern discourse and academia.

@ Sean - I have a considerable amount of firsthand experience in this. I worked as an inner city high school teacher in the Bronx, NY for six years. I could never quite shake the feeling that my presence there was 'problematic:'

I didn't get this feeling from the students, the majority of whom were not too bothered, but rather from the administrators and academics within the Board of Ed for whom this whole thing has become an industry and a ticket to a lucrative career.

There's a lot of vitriolic resentment disguised as rational academic discourse lurking in those circles. If history is any guide, this sort of thing rarely leads to any good - for anyone. Yet the Establishment vigorously encourages it everywhere. That alone should reveal all one needs to know.

The feeling of being unwelcome that you sensed in New York City was largely because of the fact that there are as many of the modern day descendants of those who had Christ killed after he chased them out of his father's temple for selling sacrificial animals for profit as there are in their supposed "homeland" which they've spent more time away from than in. If it weren't for the Balfour declaration many good europeans would still be around instead of fighting wars against their brothers. Many modern Christians worship the people who are trying to end them and their wholesome ways. Thanks a lot John Nelson Darby/Scofield and the "money changers" who paid them to subvert the word of God! They have, in roughly one hundred years, turned a once Christian nation into the United States of Weimarica. The good news is that we have seen a blueprint to the solution to the problem these parasites always cause in their host countries. Who are these evil "people?" The Bible calls them "liars," "children of Satan" but more accurately, the "synagog of Satan."

Evil is a heart thing - not a nationality- you sound like evil repeating to me

Francis Berger
2/16/2020 15:00:35

@ JJ, SF - Yes, that is certainly part of the problem, but the problem is not limited to "the Jews", which is what I guess both of you are alluding to, but neither wanted to come right out and say.

Look, many Jews are part of the Establishment, no doubt about it - but many are not. This is readily observable. Take Soros, one of the most influential of the global elite. Do you honestly believe he is working in the interest of Israel and the Jewish people, or is aiming at another goal entirely? The same goes for Jews in the US. Some are definitely working toward a one-world order; others are not.

And what of the multitude of non-Jews in the Establishment, without whom very little could be accomplished? What do we make of people like former President of the EU Commission Jean Paul Juncker who unveiled a statue of Marx to commemorate the 200th anniversary of old Karl's birthday and then went on to say that Marx could not be blamed for communism?

Yes, there are a lot of very influential Jews in the Establishment who are definitely on the side of evil, but there are also a great deal of non-Jews on that side as well. Yes, I've heard the argument that the non-Jews are all working for the Jews, etc., but I think its deeper and more complex than that. Jews definitely play a role in all of this, but they're not the only ones.

One final thing - many so-called Christians and Christian institutions are utterly corrupt and also clearly on the side of evil. What should we make of that?

Francis Berger
2/16/2020 15:26:19

@ JJ, SF - One more thought. Not every Jew is an enemy does not automatically imply that all non-enemy Jews are allies or friends.

The same goes for Christian or whites. Being a Christian or a person of European heritage does not automatically qualify someone as an ally. Some Christians are clearly corrupt and working for evil aims. Same goes for Americans, Republicans, or whatever. Some of the most vehement opponents of Jesus Christ, God, and Creation I have encountered on this blog have been white, flag-waving, liberty-loving nationalists.

Berglander
2/16/2020 17:07:29

@FB-No, it's not every Jew. You will notice, however, that at or near the top of every movement to destroy Christianity and White people, there are Jewish movers. It's an awful lot of coincidence for 2% of America's population.

Dee link
2/16/2020 17:08:38

I think you have all missed the biggest point of all: it is not hatred of the West, as Christianity originates from the Middle East--it is hatred of
CHRIST JESUS himself.
He said if they hated me, they will hate you also. In fact, you will be hated by all nations for My Name's sake.
It is that simple.
Christians come in all colors, and they live in all nations under the sun. It is the very heart of our faith, OUR LORD JESUS, who is hated. I see it everyday in my work.
Mention His Name, and the immediately the anger comes out.

Francis Berger
2/16/2020 17:40:48

@ Dee - That's a good point - one that is not lost on me. All one need do is look at the devastation of Christianity in North Africa and the Middle East, most of which was directly or indirectly caused by Western interventions. Ancient Christian communities have been all but destroyed - and these were not white Christians. The West has barely addressed this.

https://www.francisberger.com/bergers-blog/the-first-rule-of-christian-persecution-is

So, you are correct; however, a hatred of the West as something Christian certainly comes into play here. Granted, the West is hardly Christian anymore, but the overall goal appears to be to strip the last traces of Christianity from the West. Those who are non-Christians do not seem to recognize the significance of this, which is why I framed this post in the manner I did.

Leonard
2/16/2020 11:07:37

You're still trapped in thinking "politics", not "God vs satan".

The reason that Christianity is under attack in the West rather than ALL religion is because Christ is the only true redeemer, and the people attacking Christians from England to Syria are not serving communism or fascism or the rainbow flag. They are all in one way or another infected and driven by demonic influence toward the service of satan.

This is why they cuddle the koran as muslims toss gays off the roof yet recoil at a holy cross when Christians merely oppose gay marriage. The demonic hordes know that islam and buddhism and hinduism offer no real defence against satan and so they ignore those things.

If you believe in God and angels and the things they do then you must by definition believe in satan and demons and the things they do as well.

If you fall prey to thinking of this in mere political terms or cultural terms like "the West" then you will never understand these people and what drives them, nor will you be able to predict and combat them effectively. Their actions will continue to confound you because they ultimately have nothing to do with culture or history whatsoever.

The very same people organising the destruction of Christianity in the West are also organising ISIS to kill off arab and persian Christians by the thousand despite them living in relative peace with the local muslims for hundreds of years and having little to nothing to do with "the West".

Stop trying to reduce the great struggle between God and satan, demons and angels and Christ's children and the devil's children down to mere history and psychology.

Leonard - With all due respect, I wish you would have read a few of my other posts before blasting me with all of these accusations. Did you not understand the 'note added' at the bottom of the post?

"Of course the real reason the Establishment hates Christianity is this - the Establishment's overarching goal is mass damnation. The System they control is geared toward that purpose. Christianity presents a real, viable, and direct threat to that goal; hence, it must be done away with. Once and for all."

What do you think I am referring to when I say "mass damnation"? Culture? Politics?

Perhaps this post will help you understand my 'macro' perspective, as it were:

The tribe yearns for the "good old days" of their Messiahs - Lenin and Stalin. They screech incessantly about their six million. And yes, that was evil. But NOT ONE WORD about the FIFTY million they helped Lenin and Stalin murder. But then those were mostly only Goyim, so they do not count!!!

Francis Berger
2/16/2020 14:26:21

@ Mark Mattis - The UN has not designated a day of remembrance for the victims of communism, which reveals much.

Having said that, many those who helped Lenin and Stalin orchestrate atrocities against Christians - Russians and Ukrainians among others - were themselves consumed by the beast they helped create, particularly after the Second World War. Solzhenitsyn touches upon this in his work. Of course, many others escaped justice altogether.

MIkeFromNC
2/16/2020 15:03:33

Yes, Lenin and Stalin were evil. But a good start in understanding the lie of the 6 million is to do some simple math, and then investigate actual history of 1930's-1940's, not from the indoctrination textbooks of the US school system.

The claim that "All religions are the same" is foolish.
The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by mostly Christian people, founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought, Reformation preaching and Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law. This truth is easily observed within America’s earliest history.
Destroy Christianity .... to destroy all RIGHTS
Human Dignity and RIGHTS are unique to Christianity and BORN of Christ's love and WESTERN European philosophers.
Christianity was the faith of the Slaves, Poor, and Down Trodden from It's first days,
the source of GOD given RIGHTS because Christ's People had no Rights yet longed for them ....
Human RIGHTS are not a concept of judaism or islam,
Both judaism and islam are primitive tribalism born of conquest, genocide, and pillage.
They are both War Tribes and as such the individual is subserviant to the group,
all they know is obedience to their TRIBAL gods & self-worshiping self-written laws.
You cannot "coexist" with war god followers.
... the Bolshevik Left insists there is NO CHRIST so they can deny your GOD given RIGHTS.
====================================
Who is attempting to resurrect slavery in the world?
Through all of human history, slavery has been a horror.
"rules" of Slavery are codified in Judaism.
Slavery is integral to Islam.
For millenia virtually no one seriously opposed slavery in principle (as opposed to hoping that his own group would not be enslaved) until Christians in Europe argued for the first time that slavery was wrong per se. YOU are a member of the Eurosphere -- White Christian peoples -- and it's YOUR Western Civilization, YOUR culture,... CHRISTIAN religious forces, really,... that grasped the concept that slavery is immoral.
Jews owned every slave auction anywhere in the western hemisphere, anywhere! All were always closed on the Sabbath, and jewish high days. The Islamic AND Jewish (study the LEGAL prostitution/enslavement of Eastern European girls in Israel and economic enslavement of Palestinian workers) predeliction to slavery continues through the present day.

It has been obvious for some time that our elites oppose Christianity (and Judaism as well; they are simply a bit more subtle about it) and Judaeo-Christian morality. It has become obvious that they are deliberately destroying Western Civilization, largely by flooding the West with Third World and Islamic immigrants and giving these invaders free reign to commit crimes and acts of terrorism. As I said 20 years ago in my one and only book, the elites are devil worshipers and the devils they worship are real.

There are no "jews" left in the world today. As in DNA genetic
relatives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The word jew is not in the
bible.

Its Judean. And in the first century prior to ad70 there were many Judeans alive.

If there descendants are among us their DNA is so watered down as
to be a non issue. Like Pocohantas Warren 1/1024th indian?

She is only talking about 200 years we are talking about 200 years since DNA relatives of the Fathers lived.

One of the main overarching themes of the New Testament is the huge mistake the pharisees made in assuming their genetic relation to Abraham was what made them righteous. The true jews then and now are those in Christ. Believers.

Now on the tough one. Christ crushed the satan under the feet of the disciples with the gospel 2000 years ago.The first century believers are the ones who wrestled against not flesh and blood but powers and dominions in high places.

The jews who are the money changers today(owners of central banks) have bought the whole world off with their evil money.

They are not descendants of first century Hebrews. They are ordinary men and women who are just smarter and more diabolical than you and I. They have had an organized cult for centuries. And they work their plan.

The dispensationa zionist cult in the church today has lost the battle.
Their enemy, ordinary men and women, have successfully duped them into believing their enemy is there friend. And some sacred chosen race of people. Pure Poppycock.

The Saints of the Most High were given the kingdom in ad70 fully purged of evil supernatural powers. We have just failed to show up and run the Kingdom for Our Lord and Savior Christ.

Take a look in the mirror, there lies our problem.

A very good and on-point article.
It is true that the increasing hatred and persecution of Christians worldwide ( see "Voice of the Martyrs" at www.persecution.com) is a fulfillment of was predicted by Christ as well the apostles in their epistles, and therefore bound to happen. Jesus made it clear that He came to divide people over what they chose to believe.

But mainline Christianity has made it easier to for those who hate us by departing form the true gospel and tolerating apostasy, and sin within its ranks.Example; how many denominations or churches can you think of who have disavowed Franklin Graham and what he has said? How many have openly supported the murder of children in the womb, and more recently post-birth abortion?

Much of the church - in the west at least - has "left it's first love" and lost its way and needs to be shaken and cleansed in order to be relevant to the lost and the undecided again. See Hebrews 12:25-27. God will do this soon I think as we are clearly living in the last days, and we Christians should be praying for Jesus' church to repent and let Him make us the instrument He needs us to be to reach those who are perishing.

Francis Berger
2/16/2020 19:35:16

@ Bob - Thanks. I agree. Most of organized Christianity has been corrupted. I'm not sure if it can be cleansed at the institutional level, but it can certainly be accomplished at the individual/family/small group level and, perhaps, build up from there.

Graham Bell
2/16/2020 20:45:09

I agree with you Francis and Bob M. on the social issues, abortion,homosexuality, and sin within the ranks.

But there is a huge cognitive dissonance among almost all in the christian faith. To call out certain sins and then participate in our system such as funny money printers of commercial banks and
central banks, or in the medical industry which is a monopoly and does not love our neighbor, just to name a few.

We have a system that is broken at all institutional levels, yet
christians participate fully and mostly wholeheartedly.

Non christians see this hypocrisy, and rightfully so. Calling out some sin and living in other sin is the bane of the christian testimony.

These are not mere flaws of human nature in the sense that all have fallen short of the glory of God. These are baked into the cake institutional and systemically not loving your neighbor big deal issues.

Franklin Graham is one of these zionist hypocrits. He buys the dispensational paradigm hook line and sinker. He is all in on military murder around the world in the name of the so called chosen people of God. I dont doubt in his ignorance that he may be sincere. But it just doesnt do much for the kingdom of God. Who wants a hypocrit flying all over the world telling others how to live when he hasnt got the hang of it yet?

This is a real problem for christians. They do not refrain from participating in things that contradict their profession of faith.

If 7 to 10 million zionist christians have the power to gin up perpetual war in the name of Jesus for perpetual peace dont tell me they couldnt get behind an agenda to set up institutions that love your neighbor. They are just duped and enthralled in their cultic ideology and no good at much at all as it regards encouraging the world on how to love your neighbor. It is truly sad.

No wonder no one wants to listen to Franklin Graham. His message is grossly flawed according to my reading of scripture.

Dr. Charlton has dedicated a great deal of effort and time contemplating the things you mentioned. In addition, he presents a viable way forward for Christianity, which he terms Romantic Christianity. I humbly invite you to explore some of his ideas (if you are not familiar with him):

My personal opinion is when you look at the big picture, we are living in the End-of-Days and time is short. Jesus Christ is the answer. After being saved by Jesus you need to baptized in the Holy Spirit and be led by same Spirit. Take a look at current technology being us against us AI, internet of things, cell phone technology, Cern, biogengineering thru crisper technology, 3D computing, super soldiers and list goes on. This was all conceived by fallen angels for centuries. But on the full armor of God eph chp 6 and Psalms 91 just to start and learn the Word of God. Put Jesus first and obey his laws and statues by the power of the Holy Spirit then do what you can to prepare in the natural. Remember we do not fight flesh and blood. Win the lost while there is still time. Be fully surrendered to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings Jesus Christ. Rebuke the evil in this world in Jesus's name. There are few platforms left to know the truth. stevequayle.com for example.

I appreciate all the comments, but I have decided to close the comment thread for this post. The thread was being degenerated and, frankly, had become uninspiring, uninteresting, and counterproductive. In my post I mentioned the Establishment. The Establishment, in this case, is the ruling elite, which as a whole, are inclined toward evil. This does not imply that every individual in the elite is inclined toward evil - nor that the evil within the Establishment exists only within a certain segment of the Establishment. Anyone who harbors such simplistic views understands nothing.

I will leave all those who read this post and interpreted it as some sort of veiled attack against some specific "evil" ethnic or religious group within the Establishment following two quotes from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. If you can't understand the wisdom and truths within these two quotes, you will never understand life.

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.

Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”

My final thought on the matter is this:

Christianity is not a religion of hatred because at its fundamental core it is about constricting evil within each individual person. It is about love. Work on constricting the evil within yourself - not according to the latest Leftist dogma - but according to the Divine Law and the love of Christ.

The problem is the combined human race is no match for Satan's intellect. They lean on their own understanding and so fail miserably. This includes many Christians that underestimate Satan's deceitfulness, as if Satan could never invade their houses of worship. There is only one power humans can use against Satan and that is the God given power to trample evil through Jesus Christ. What is the true definition of evil? It's defined as anything that violates God's commandments. Of course the choir already knows this...we know how this ends.
