I am going to be perfectly clear, gang.
I have seen more Facebook ads against abortion and glad that the President spoke out against abortion in the last few days than in the last dozen years combined.
The stand for “do not murder” is admirable.
But in the words of a good friend of mine, when you are for one commandment but against the other nine, you aren’t doing your job.
I don’t expect to win a popularity contest with this blog post.
The danger of what has happened in the last few days is as follows.
If the pro-Trump-anti-Democrats among us are right in their partial judgments for the stated Trump agenda, then this post will do what any incorrect material should do: fade away.
But if my hypotheses are correct and we are only hearing a part of the truth, then the effects of that cause reach to some very negative ends.
When you post about how good it is that we are against abortion, but refuse to also speak against unconstitutional, undeclared wars that are also unjust, then I do not believe our G-d is using these politicians in office, nor our President.
And when you want to support a regime (the United States in this case) that in silence permitted the sadistic bayonet sodomy of a leader because they thought regime change was a good idea, then I don’t think G-d used that set of politicians either (Ezekiel 18:23).
If we save the aborted, and talk about overturning this or that SCOTUS decision, but do not make a Mercy-Season case to transform the hearts of men and win the war in the individual souls, then the soil can and may still remain locked up.
And if we save the aborted but continue to condone, in our silence, the killings of innocents abroad through gross violations of our nation’s founding principles, then we have a serious problem.
And when we only speak correction to–and scoff–one political party or caucus, garbed in white, but refuse to speak of the judgment that awaits those on the other side of the fence for their sons of omission, then we may be engaging in the Prophet’s Root Iniquity: Fractured Relationships. And in our hypocrisy, we may be doing more harm than good, by reinforcing our echo chamber.
If you only accept half of the truth or half of the revelation G-d gives you, and reject the other half that is uncomfortable to receive, then what you stand to reap is a Canaanite Iron Bowl and a lack of or devouring of revelation.
The President and all of Congress has some serious issues, and uncritical support of his actions is not a recipe for renewal.
And the insanity of our political discourse is tainted by the Curse of Jotham.
So, call me divisive. Call me whenever you wish. But our behavior on social media is not identifying the whole problem, nor will it break the Mesmerizing Spirit, nor repair the breach.
