| When looking at society, it is becoming more difficult to not only understand changes taking place, but where changes are headed. To discuss whether the changes are justified or not is a point of contention. Condemnation towards those who are conservative is becoming more widely accepted because society is more liberal and lawless. Conservatism, however, is viewed as the culprit for out-of-control reasoning and resulting behavior in the nation today. How Stable Will America Be If Liberalism Becomes the Overriding New Reality? Liberalism and people who are liberal have been waging a full-scale assault on the nation’s long standing established laws and carrying out changes to accommodate personal and group agendas. There is no right or wrong based upon anything as a guide but determined on a case-by-case basis. Whatever an individual or any given group decides is how right and wrong is defined, it is the standard used as a guide. Liberalism is a theory. It is a hypothesis or an assumption that its belief system is true but not proven. Liberalism is broadly interpreted and is guided by an agenda mistakenly believed. Being liberal means tolerance is paramount. Every person must sympathize, adapt, and indulge any practice (except Christianity). Long held standards in society are to be scrutinized questioned and rebelled against if they infringe upon free thinking and the acting out of those thoughts. To its fullest extent deviant reasoning and conduct must be accepted as the norm but any standard according to the Bible must be condemned rejected and attacked at all costs. How Stable is America Under Conservatism? Conservatism opposes any changes made to the rule of law. Maintaining stability is paramount. A person who is conservative lives by standards that are guides for how life is viewed and lived overall. The nation’s founding fathers were conservative, and the Constitution is a testimony of their conservative values. As flawed as America has always been the Constitution is the one document that has made the nation what it is. Each amendment guarantees personal freedoms because of its guidelines and boundaries but hated by liberalism and liberals who are waging all out war upon what has always kept the nation and its government in check. A Single Document and the Book of all Books Under Assault The United States Constitution and the Bible were the two guiding lights when the country was founded. If both are completely rejected America is finished. While the Constitution is not perfect it has prevented the government from removing precious freedoms, but this is quickly changing because liberalism does not view the document as relevant today. The Bible is not flawed but perfect in every way. The reason it is despised as no other book is because it defines what is right and wrong. It is a book of absolutes. It gives solutions to individual and National problems, but they are not the solutions most Americans are willing to recognize because major changes are required. The Bible is liberalism’s worst nightmare because it is a conservative book that in all actuality is God’s mind in print. It is grossly misinterpreted by far too many ministers in churches across the country misunderstood by many professing Christians and a complete turnoff to those who view the Bible as a book out of touch with reality and totally irrelevant. Severe Consequences if Major Changes Are Not Made The Bible warns of what the consequences will be for being divided as a Nation. Matthew 24:25, Mark 3:25 and Luke 11:17 states America’s collapse is inevitable if the American people do not stop pitting themselves against one another. The Bible also warns against the accusatory attitude called the blame game that is a moral cancer in the country. Isaiah 58:9- “Then you shall call, and the Lord shall answer, you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am, If (it’s conditional) you take away from the midst of you the putting forth of the finger (pointing the finger at others as the problem) and speaking vanity (having an in your face attitude). While people may ask, “Where’s God?” the answer is provided in Isaiah 59:2- “But your iniquities (acts of disobedience) have separated between you and your God and your sins (the breaking of God’s law – I John 3:4) have hid his face from you that he will not hear.” God is not politically affiliated, but He is conservative, and He hates lawlessness. Solutions to America’s problems are not political but spiritual in nature. The nation’s leaders and the American people must make major changes. Either Americans will wake up and meet God’s requirements and survive as a nation or the country will find itself facing deadly consequences for refusing to obey God on His terms. |
