86. Love the Sinner. Hate the Movement.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the broadcast where we prod the sheep and beat the wolf. This is episode 86. Love the sinner. Hate the movement a matter of love. Now today we're gonna take a break from our eschatology series and we're going to talk about a point of confusion within the Christian Church.

Now this is not primarily a matter of doctrinal confusion, but most assuredly it is doctrinal. This is a matter of love. Generally speaking every Christian has some level of understanding that God has called us to love.

It's a kind of the point of being a Christian, right? Paul says that if we do not have love then we're nothing. Jesus says that for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son and he did not provide such a glorious and precious Son.

In Order to reproduce more Grinches on Mount Crumpet or Ebeneezer Scrooges on Business Street in London. God Saved us and he did it through the greatest act of love that has ever been recorded to make us loving people.

Jesus even said that they and that is the world. They will know that we are true disciples of his by the way that we love one another which means how we love other Christians. John 13 35. But Jesus also taught us that we are to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us.

Which means that our love must extend beyond the people who attend church with us. And we must be willing and ready to love anyone even those people who hate us most. Ferociously and I believe that this is the epicenter of where the confusion occurs.

Just because we are to love people Does not mean that we are to love what they do or the sinful movements that have ensnared them. It's actually my contention and what I'm gonna be arguing here today that Standing against a movement is wholly necessary.

And it's one of the chief ways that we can genuinely love the person. Now for a moment I want you to pardon my pungency. I'm gonna kick it up an extra notch today. I'm gonna grab the flamethrower to light a couple birthday candles, and I'm gonna do that on purpose.

Sometimes we need a mother's soothing lullaby to help us fall gently to sleep and yet. There's other times where we need our father to shake us out of our slumber because the house is on fire. Well today this is gonna be more like a shaking than it will be a lullaby.

The Abortion Movement as a Demonic Assault on Human Life

The abortion movement. I Said above that we must love the sinner caught in the sinful movement while at the same time Hating the movement that trapped them. This is true. Which means that we must not hate women who have had an abortion.

We must love them and I mean profoundly so but that means that we must love them enough to hear their stories of pain. To empathize with their struggle and also not to sugarcoat what it is that they've done and to bid them to repent for murdering One of their own children.

Now that language seems overly harsh to you. Perhaps you're part of the problem. Think about it. How many children in this country and around the world have to brutally die before we start taking this issue?

Seriously, how many heartbeats need to stop for us to go beyond? Conservative incrementalism and heartbeat bills to flat-out abolish this disgusting and immoral practice. And let me just ask the obvious question.

Can our actions really be called loving if we allow this culture of death to continue? And are we really being kind to all of the innocent babies who were chopped up into pieces inside of their mommy's womb or Chemically roasted by toxic abortifacients when we say things to the mother like it wasn't your fault and you had no other options.

How sick and demented we need to be to believe that kind of garbage? Biblically speaking abortion is the wanton sacrilege of human life plain and simple and its total. Abolition is the only just outcome that can happen.

To tell a woman anything else is to lie to her and to make excuses for her sin and to allow her to believe the lie. That God is not enraged over the shedding of innocent blood. He is the one that we will remember who heard Abel's blood crying out from the ground and he most Assuredly is the one who hears every tortured fetus screaming from a cold metallic plate and he will avenge them.

From a biblical and ethical standpoint. There is nothing morally different between a woman getting an abortion or hiring a hitman to kill her two-year-old in both instances. She bought and paid for a professional to kill someone that she was supposed to love care and protect.

We have to stop Euphemizing our language and call it what it is. Abortion is not health care. Abortion is the attentional inexcusable and Unauthorized decision to terminate a precious life that belongs to God who endowed it with significance dignity and personhood and While you may still be reeling from those descriptions.

This is precisely how we love people. We love them by telling them straight and pointing them to the risen Christ is their only hope. We love man and woman by Exposing the lethality of sin, which is awful news and then we come along and provide them with the remedy.

Which is the gospel of Jesus Christ? He is the only one who can heal the wound of a mother who's killed her child. He is the only one who can forgive a man for pressuring his wife or his girlfriend. To let medical grade serial killers and Planned Parenthood dismember his future legacy.

Jesus is the only one who can forgive the murderous doctors who have gallons of blood Dripping from their guilty hands, and he's the only way the only life the only possible hope that we could ever point anyone to.

What I find most astonishing is how the amazing grace and tender mercy of our spotless Lord can Completely bury all of our sins as Reprehensible as abortion is and as all other sin is as well and as much shame as all of our sins should have left on us and stuck to us in our own devices.

A Woman or man who turns to the Lord Jesus Christ is not only forgiven but their shame is eradicated. The woman who has had an abortion her sins have been washed white as snow and he restores her to Royalty in his kingdom if she turns to him.

She can be given in Christ a new and a glorious nature that can never be taken away from her. She will be healed. She will be loved. She will be restored. She will no longer be known by the scarlet letter that that anyone else could try to put on her and she may very well even worship an eternity alongside her aborted child and the reason we know that is Because Jesus took the curse that all of us deserved and he gave Unto us the honor that we could never ever earn.

Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior rescued us from the putrescence of our iniquities and Rescued us for his glory and for our great good. This is true for every sinner. So, why do we hold back from declaring that message?

Why do we think that that is somehow unloving and Because we felt that way or not. Maybe maybe not you and I but the culture in general has has said don't do that. And we've treated that as unloving and because of that we've entirely perverted the glorious gospel by avoiding nearly half of it skipping past the bad news of sin and death to accommodate a Sinner's fragility.

If you throw out the bad news brothers and sisters, there is no gospel. It doesn't make sense if you throw out the need for a Savior. You're no longer have any saving. That's not the path of love. That's that's the path of hate.

Now at the same time While we love the woman who's had an abortion Enough in fact to declare to her what her sin is and where the remedy is where the hope is. We must hate the abortion movement with every bone in our body.

I Will be at war against this modern-day temple of Moloch for the rest of my life. Why? Because it is the movement that is promoting cheering on and Subsidizing the murder of nearly a million image-bearing humans every single year.

This movement was dreamt up in the recesses of hell fueled by the power of demons and has captivated a swampy and Pathetic government of fiends who would rather kill its own citizens than lose its political power or funding.

I will love the person enough to hate such a despicable movement that catches them in their snare. And I will hate the movement enough to make war with it all my days. The LMNOP movement a. Second example is this we must not hate the sodomites or the lesbians who are caught up in nature denying God hating behavior, and I use the word sodomites on purpose because I'm tired.

I'm sick and tired of us. Euphemizing what sin is we're gonna call it what it is. It's sodomy but beyond that We must not hate transgender people who've denied one of the most basic tenets of reality.

Which is their own by a lot biological gender and furthermore We must not hate human beings who are mired in the kind of delusional confusion that causes single persons to identify as plural pronouns or The genetic human who now wants to use a litter box instead of a toilet not to mention the kind of mental disorders that are causing Homo sapiens to identify as two-spirit penguins.

That would be hilarious if it were not true and because it is true. I am heartbroken for them. I am honestly shocked and grieved at such an apparent mental health crisis of this magnitude Has broken out across the Western world and the adults in the room are trying to cure it with identity politics and cleverly devised lies.

This is like trying to put a fire out with gasoline and it's like trying to plug the hole that was in the Titanic with bubble gum. Instead of receiving the help that these men and women need the mental health that they need.

To confront such vivid and wretched delusions people today are force-feeding them horse manure. By a society that absolutely hates them and a medical health establishment that is profiting from lopping off their genitals.

Remember Love always seeks the best for a person and what is best for a person is what God says in his Word. He's the designer. We are the created. He is the creator. So we must love men and women who are being led down these roads of slaughter enough.

We must love them enough to point them away from these diabolical fantasies. The damned identity politics that are being dreamt up by demons. We need to point them away from that to bid them to turn to the truth of the Holy Scriptures and repent.

We must love them enough to call them out of their sins and their perversions. Leading them that are leading them toward the belly of the fiery abyss. And we must love them enough to call them to turn To the Lord Jesus Christ before it's too late.

Placation is not loving a parent who gives into every demand of the child in order to reinforce their inner talent. Totalitarian is not caring for their children in the same way. Patting people on the head and leaving them with a warm and fuzzy in their sin while they are Eternally separated from a holy and righteous.

God is to despise them. It is to wish them doubly dead with a disturbing little smile on our face and That is not love. We must love by behaving differently. Now simultaneously with that I pray as as kind as we can be to the LGBTQ person.

I hate the movement and I hope that it dies a hundred thousand deaths. A Movement that cheers on abominations and mocks the Living God with its rainbow colored two flags of debauchery and perversion and praise upon the most insecure and impressionable minds in our society.

A campaign that calls its victims to abandon nature and reason for social clout. And a swelling subscriber list. A Movement that is championed by an unhinged government that will take your children away for not allowing them to degrade their own bodies of the most lewd disgusting and abhorrent ways.

A movement that is weaponized by doctors who threaten body butchering is the only escape from suicide. A movement peddled by freaks on YouTube and tick-tock that promise that you will be well-liked ever.

Celebrated and always left with a feeling of belonging if you will just come out and identify with their sin. I loathe that movement and I will do whatever it takes to see it come to a grand and total end.

Why? Because that movement is destroying men and women and it is devouring our children. It is toxifying the country that my children will inherit and it is damaging the social fabric of this nation. Love is not love.

That's nonsense. Love is what God has defined it and he's defined love in covenantal heterosexual marriage very simply. We have been called to love our enemies and to love the ones who are caught in soul and body.

Degrading sins and to love them enough to speak the truth to them before it is too late. Yes, and amen to that. But brothers and sisters we are never commanded to love Ideologies that are destroying people.

We are never called to cheer on movements that trap humanity like fish in a net. And as I said before this is where so much confusion has occurred in the church these days. This is where the enemy has divided and conquered in legion as ways by leaving the church in the West.

So divided on this issue typically into four camps that are related to this as we'll talk about in a moment. We have become easy pickings for the author of these Luciferian fables, which is the Lord of darkness himself.

For a moment, I Want to sketch out these three erroneous views and how those views are wrong. And then I want to end with the right approach which is the fourth view the three erroneous views. Liberalism the demonic left.

This view barely needs to be explained. Proponents believe that the center and the movement should be lauded. Supported and championed. This means that in according to liberalism. There is no view of sin or hell.

There is no biblical understanding of what love is and what it calls for and all that is left. It's just a watered-down Gospel of tolerance and the twin bricks of love is love and you do you that paved the path to destruction?

This view is not the biblical gospel because it begins with the assumption that what people really need most is acceptance of their sins instead of repentance for them and Sadly, this view has infected entire churches denominations and conventions and listen every lumberjack lesbian and every Dove award-winning male musician who now sings and dresses proves my point.

That is not loving that is not Christianity. They have abandoned Christ for hedonism and pluralism. They have abandoned the biblical gospel for Infatuation with immorality. They have not chosen the path of love but are on a highway to hell and thankfully They're not very difficult to spot in the wild.

All you need to do is look for the bright colors or the six-foot-four muscle-bound male on the swim team. Who still has a cringy bulge? We must reject the demonic lie of liberalism and all of its perversions and Instead we must love each and every person caught in sin.

We must love them enough to call them to repent and We must be at war with the ideologies like liberalism that ensnare them. Number two second wrong movement fundamentalism the hate-filled right. On the other end of the spectrum is a nearly equally abhorrent view instead of being known for unbiblical and degenerate forms of tolerance and love the fundamentalist group is known for its rigid intolerance as well as its refusal to love anyone.

And while the fundies short for fundamentalism Rightly understand the need to hate the sinful movements that trap so many souls and bogs of sin. They forget that they're also sinners and peddle a gospel that is devoid of humility and grace.

They turn their pharisaical ire upon anyone and everyone who exists out there in the world somewhere and they chide them all to hell. Sadly, this view has infected the church as well in small but shrinking pockets.

That usually don't spread quite as quickly as liberalism because no one likes being around them or enough to join them. Now where does this disease show up. It shows up in every megaphone. Screaming street preacher who is not out there to see men and women saved but he's out there to remind them of that.

They're damned. It shows up on Sunday mornings in every Westboro esque type church where the blowhard behind the pulpit screams God hates fags. It shows up wherever men and women caught in these sins Become the object of our hatred instead of the mission field that we've been called to.

We the Church of Jesus Christ must reject the hate of pharisaical fundamentalism. Instead we must love sinners enough to get to know them eat with them call them to repentance. We must be also at war with the ideologies that have ensnared them and the pride that entangles us.

Number three the third wrong view Evangelicalism or aka the mushy middle. The Evangelical Church is always trying to land in the mushy middle led by pastors who have the spine fortitude of jello or vanilla pudding and Before you object let me remind you that the vast majority of squishy pastors these days will not preach on the reality of hell the ugliness of sin or the dire need for repentance because we have all Offended a holy and righteous God.

I've been to these churches. I've served on staff at these churches. Where the men who've been called by the Lord to be pastors there are so afraid of offending men carnal men. That they regularly offend their God by either apologizing for his word or refusing to herald it.

How many sermons have you ever heard? Let me just let's just pull here. How many sermons you've ever heard on the Covenant curses of Deuteronomy 28? How many can can say that they've heard a sermon on the list of sins that are called abominations or Any other topic that our society is struggling with in any meaningful way if there is a potential for offense in the modern-day Evangelical Church the pastor usually runs away like a coward from the battle and This is not my appearance my mere opinion.

It is an epidemic in Evangelicalism and that gets to my point you can't actually love someone that you're lying to and If you refuse to tell them the truth or call them to repentance, then you are lying to them.

That's like knowing that a man a stage for cancer and instead of giving him the diagnosis so that he can begin the treatment. Or maybe go and settle up his affairs. You refuse to tell him because it may hurt his feelings.

That is the opposite of love. That's becoming the equivalent of a moral monster that's the opposite of love and It was certainly not the way that Jesus led people in the Gospels. Yes, he knelt down on the sand to restore a sinner, but he also said go and sin no more.

In fact there's no single account where Christ doesn't point out the sin and call the man or woman to repent and extol them to go and Live a holy life moving forward to adopt an ethic that Christ is going to vomit out of his mouth just to save face and public is not loving at all.

It is criminal. That is the very picture of a sinister sort of hatred that watches as a person Asphyxiates spiritually speaking when all they needed was to be turned over on their side so that they could see and behold the Lord Jesus Christ in this case men and women Must be pointed to Jesus and that we're not responsible for whether they turn or not.

But but we must not be responsible for not telling them. He is the hope He is the cure to trade in the gospel for niceties and for Placations is repugnant. It's unloving and it's something that every single cowardly pastor or Christian is gonna have to answer for furthermore you cannot hate a movement that is destroying human beings when you refuse to call it out and I'm talking to you pastor yellow belly when you sit silently on the sidelines as sexual predators fester in our culture as women in your congregations believe the lie that it's just a clump of cells because you never preached on it and.

As.

Diabolical trends in Hollywood disciple your people through their internet connection. Just remember that your silence was akin to hating them. You wasted your office you impaled your own People on the post that you were supposed to use to care for them and you have hated your own ministry.

When you have mold growing in your own home pastor you spray it. You don't ignore it and yet your sugar and spice. Mentality that never rocks the boat never calls out. Evil in society has let something far more.

Sinister seep in and spread under your watch and you did nothing to stop it. Instead of being the salt of the earth you become high fructose corn syrup that has left your congregation Fatally unhealthy and I am calling you to repent.

We must love the person who's caught in sin. We must love them enough to confront their sin and to call them to Christ. And yes. We should have a backbone that is rigid enough to perform the role of shepherd That not only pets the sheep But takes out the sawed-off shotgun in order to take down the wolf.

Pastor repent. Number four the biblical approach. Now the right approach is obviously the biblical approach. Look at what the Apostle Paul says about these things. We're talking about loving the sinner, but hating the movement that's ensnared them.

Look at what he says sufficient. 6 chapter of chapter 6 verse 12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers. Against the powers. Against the world forces of this darkness against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Paul tells us that our struggle is not against the individuals that are caught in the nets of sin. He said our war is against the demonic net makers the wicked powers who are making the traps that are dragging men and women away to their doom.

2nd Timothy 2 26. This includes of course evil politicians woke. Corporations degenerate government agencies who spend taxpayer money on evil. Of course it does but Paul is alerting us to the power that is underneath all of them and fueling them.

He's telling us that the kind of power that calls Roman men to find To find it socially acceptable to abandon their female infants to the elements because they wanted a male son instead. He's talking about the kind of power underneath the hubris of the Enlightenment era which captivated men's hearts with scientific pride instead of Humility before their God.

He's talking about the elemental forces the rogue spiritual agents and high places. The kind of power That gave birth to the bastard child named liberalism who questions the authority and the veracity of Holy Scripture.

He's talking about the kind of power that is underneath every godless movement from Freudian psychology That undermines faith in the supremacy of God to sin. Garion ethics inflicting genocide upon the womb all the way to kennyism that has unleashed ranked sexual perversion upon our populace.

Paul is telling us the behind every Hitler Stalin and Mao behind every pagan ideology and philosophy behind every movement that brings devastation and Rebellion upon the race of man is the demonic power the forces led by their commander Satan who want nothing more than to destroy God's masterpiece male and female.

God called them male and female and he called them in covenant marriage to reproduce offspring to the glory of God and extend his dominion to the ends of the earth and he called that Very good, and it is that that the hounds of hell cannot keep themselves from trying to destroy masculinity femininity covenant marriage and children.

It's in their nature to attack these things and we must resist them. Which leads us to our conclusion today. I know this episode May seem just a tad inflammatory today but I make no apologies. I Simply implore you not to be soft and squishy on movements like abortion and sexual deviancy because underneath them is The power of demons who want nothing more than to pervert Manipulate butcher and destroy God's creatures.

You're not being empathetic by supporting these movements. You are not caring for people by being soft on this issue if you're soft on this. You are complicit with the war crimes dreamt up by demons and you are a reviler of the humanity that you claim to love.

Our job is not to be soft on this issue. Our job Brothers and sisters in Christ is to love the sinner enough to call them to repent. Our job is to hate the movement that punishes perverts destroys and a cost them.

The mission that Jesus Christ has called us to requires that we declare the Biblical gospel no matter who it offends and no matter how long it offends and that we are to continue doing this Advancing until every stinking sulfuric gate of hell falls limply and idly down.

We are called we aim to see Jesus's enemies put under his feet and we know that he is going to do that work. But we also know that he's called us to be about that work praying declaring Christ making disciples and having godly children we live.

To see Jesus's kingdom advanced until abortion is abolished so that no more children are decapitated in their mother's womb. We labor for Christ to see his kingdom advance until sodomy is eliminated and until a wholesome godly and covenantal view of sex and marriage proliferates.

We strive and serve our King and We saw and we serve him until there is no such thing as two-spirit penguins that that sort of ridiculous foolish insanity is entirely extinct. Because we do not believe That allowing people to live in a mental health crisis or in delusions is healthy or proper or loving.

We labor for Christ until every family comes under the blessing of Christ and our enemy. Wherever the curse is found is put strongly and firmly under the feet of Jesus. We have got to love people enough To herald the one true gospel and we've got a hate movement sufficiently enough to work for their demise.

No other behavior is Biblically legitimate. Thank you so much for listening to another episode of the broadcast. Today's episode was an in-house Discussion to spur God's people to view these things rightly and to be invigorated for the mission that he has called us to in his kingdom.
