Not Heavenly Bound
October 11, 2008
I find it amusing when high-profile
people on the left become so outspoken with feigned outrage when told
they are going to hell. The typical protest contains the token "who are
you to judge me”, as if judging a person by their behavior and beliefs
is some breach of proper conduct. The irony of course is that most
devout leftists are not only atheists but are also fanatic
anti-religionists. Why are they concerned about a destination in which
they don’t believe? Or maybe they do, and want to drag as many along
with them as they can?
Most liberals (as distinguished from leftists) I know claim to be
religious but worship some impotent god of "infinite love” with no
capacity for justice. Their deity is not the God of the Bible, but the
god of good intentions. My deity has been around for a long time and
says otherwise. Why this concern about going to a place they either do
not believe exists or will be spared based on their good intentions?
A people who believe in nothing will fall for anything. I don’t know who
to attribute that to, but it should be recognized not only as a maxim,
but as a stratagem. As long as America adhered to the Judeo-Christian
ethics of our founders, we enjoyed God’s blessings and became the most
powerful force for good on the planet. Believers understand that being
human means we are fallible and will stray from those religious
principles. But when we have strayed, we not only knew it but strove to
return. That is not hypocrisy.
To weaken America from within, you must first destroy the source of its
strength, its religious foundation, and substitute an alternative belief
system. To complete the conquest from within, you must turn America
against God. The day America loses its fear of God is the day the
false-gods of the left will lead the country down any path of their
choosing. Good and evil will become indistinguishable and standards of
conduct and behavior will be dictated by those who lead. The Bible tells
us the gate to heaven is narrow. The left offers the wider path. Their
liberal consorts have taken the first steps.
As a believer, there are some things I know with certainty. Perhaps
leftist and liberal sensitivities would be less offended if I said they
are not heavenly bound rather than they are going to hell. Either way,
there are certain behaviors, clearly identified by the God I worship,
that do not lead to heaven.
You cannot murder 40 million innocent children and go to heaven. You
cannot empower or support those who commit this crime and escape
culpability. It would be better that you had a millstone hung about your
neck and be dropped in the deepest sea than to harm a single hair on
these innocent ones. That’s what my God says. A philosophy that kills
the innocent while pleading for the life of murderers is not heavenly
bound.
Envy of those who have more than you is clearly against my God’s laws.
The leftist inspired class warfare is naked envy. Attempting to disguise
that envy with slogans or pretenses of "being fair” when what you do and
what you support are inherently unfair is self-deception. Those who
practice the religion of envy are not heavenly bound.
The God I worship is very clear about theft and makes no allowances for
good intentions in the transfers of stolen property. Appointing
surrogates to steal on your behalf is not going to absolve you of guilt.
Need we be reminded that the good thief acknowledged his crime, his
guilt and the justice of his punishment? A person that steals or
empowers others to steal on their behalf is not heavenly bound.
Sex, drugs and rock’n roll may be a formula for earth bound happiness,
but the God I worship has quite a bit to say about adultery,
homosexuality, incest and surrendering your senses to intoxication. The
God I worship probably enjoys rock’n roll, depending on the lyrics of
course. If you believe your sexual gratification outside the boundaries
set by God is no one’s business, you may be correct under some
circumstance, but you are also not heavenly bound.
Turning children against their parent’s authority by indoctrination or
by surreptitious actions is against the laws established by the God I
worship. Teachers subverting a child’s innocence or instilling beliefs
contrary to the wishes of the child’s parents is not heavenly bound.
Doctors, lawyers and judges enabling children to obtain an abortion are
doubly guilty of depriving the child of parental counsel and conspiracy
to commit murder. They are not heavenly bound.
Lying is a big problem the left has with the God I worship. Lies are
justifiable to the left in pursuit of whatever end they are chasing.
That’s in their bible. I fully expect someone on the left to claim that
what I write here makes me no different than a Muslim extremist. It is
not only a lie but a slander against the God I worship. I don’t worship
the false moon-god and his prophet. Nor do I have instructions from my
God to send nonbelievers to hell in return for an admission ticket to
heaven. Those who lie and make this misrepresentation are not heavenly
bound.
Those who set themselves equal to or above God are going to hell. Those
who lead others down that path are going to hell. On this issue, "not
heavenly bound” is not quite strong enough because of the gravity of the
offense. This is not a judgment (that is God’s province) but a warning.
If you don’t believe in any god, you should just ignore this. Why get
upset over something you don’t believe.
Finally, you don’t have to be religious or Christian to be on the right,
but you do have to believe in unchanging absolute moral standards that
cannot be waived by government, false messiahs or personal convenience.
Religion is the guardian of those moral standards. But if you don’t
believe in hell but believe religion is just a superstition, why would
you care what others believe about your final destination. Apparently,
it is the left that has doubts, but this is one bet that cannot be
hedged and as far as I know, the ACLU has been disbarred in the court of
final judgment. There are no loop-holes. |
