I am a Jesus loving, Bible reading, Christ follower. I love Truth and I also love exposing lies because it feels clean, good, right, healthy, holy, and as though I am meant to do just that. I cannot help myself, stop myself, nor do I want to. The Truth is the most marvellous and precious Way, and I cling to it like a koala to his or her eucalyptus tree.
Here is what the Bible says we are enabled do when we are in Christ:
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence [strong sexual desire, lust], and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things's sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth (Colossians 3:5-8)
We are to mortify (subdue), all of which are listed as idolatry (the worship of idols)
5 fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, covetousness
6 God's wrath is on those that are disobedient, committing acts that He commanded not be done
7 We too, were disobedient when we were not in Christ
And lastly, since we are new creations, delivered from the evil in this world through the saving grace of Christ our LORD, living according to God's commands, we have put off:
8 anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth
When we see the prideful, we also see all that is described above: these ways distort and disturb the spirit, scarring souls and casting darkness upon them. Men are men, women are women, and no number of lies from the reprobate can change truth, even if they try to dress it in drag. God is not a weirdo, and people acting like He is okay with their twisting of truth, just makes them look sadly silly, sick and depraved.
We are to tear down idols dear reader, and I invite you to look up scripture for yourself, and not rely on anyone else to do this wonderful investigating for you!
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God (Deuteronomy 7:25)
I am thoroughly enjoying what I am seeing with people taking back holy ground. The young and old are saying NO MORE, to the encroaching of evil, and we are living a Lord of the Rings existence, with the wicked looking more and more like the trolls that terrorize, and the righteous moving boldly forward in their quest to conquer the middle earth demons that threaten our very existence. The warriors for Truth may appear tiny compared to the giants, but with every stone thrown at the enemy, one more of the mighty fall, belittled by the brave.
If God be for us, who, pray tell, dear one, can be against us? [cf. Romans 8:31]
