THE MANY FACES OF EVIL

 

Never before in the history of the United States have we the people faced a force that is on a path to destroy all that we have known and fought to maintain. Through the years we have survived wars, famine and natural disasters but never a determined effort to destroy us from within until now. Evil is afoot bringing destruction to major segments of our society from the unborn to our economic well being. Liberty is being attacked by the federal government, the mighty force that wants to rule every aspect of our lives as it promotes and forces evil upon us.

Evil isn’t an abstract idea or force. It has an identity and can be seen in many places. Evil isn’t a disembodied being lurking behind a tree or around a dark corner or under a bed or in the closet waiting to spring out to snare the unsuspecting. Evil is found in humans who practice behavior that is opposite that of God. At this moment in the United States, evil is being promoted by those who call themselves believers; so called leaders who are forcing their ideology onto all of us.

Evil is never a phantom force that has no face. It is plainly discernible and all who will open their eyes can see it. Those who say they follow God and are believers in Christ need to open their eyes and do as the writer of Hebrews said to believers in Chapter 5:14, But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Believers need to discern the evil that is taking place in this country.

The chief promoter and follower of evil is the nut job (AKA Barack Hussein Obama) in the White House, who on June 1, 2009 proclaimed June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists. Now think about what he has said in the past that he believes in view of what he proclaimed. He has said he believes in God and follows Christ, and yet he proclaimed that those who practice some of the most vile perversion known to man are to take pride in their behavior.  Remember the words of John wrote in I John 2:4, He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  Those words apply to the nut job, and I make no apologies to anyone for calling him a nut job. He is evil and demented.   

As to discrimination and prejudice, keep it in the context of what he proclaimed. In essence he is trying to make us believe that to disagree with perverted conduct is discrimination and makes us prejudice. Prejudice is opinion before the facts are known. Obama needs to read both the Old and the New Testaments. God discriminated against those of such conduct, but he wasn’t prejudice and most assuredly he knew the facts of what perversion would do and did to humans.

A woman, Regina Benjamin,who he has nominated to the Surgeon General position has advocated more training for doctors on how to terminate pregnancy. Doctors are supposed to protect life and this woman is advocating terminating life. When will the people of this nation understand that abortion is evil? Not only that, but Barbara Mikulski has inserted into the so called health care bill  a provision that abortion on demand will be funded by the taxpayers. Not only is abortion evil and immoral, forcing people opposed to it to pay for it is equally evil and immoral.

Congressional Democrats are crafting a scheme to force everyone, whether they want it or not, into government provided health care. Personal choice is being destroyed and there are two words which describe their intent, tyranny and evil. Tyranny in that the government is using force under color of law and evil because it is destroying personal responsibility and forces the responsible to pay for the irresponsible. Worse, the bill is targeting older people who need care and they won't be able to receive it. There will be mandatory end of life counseling and very likely the government will pay the bill for the process of death so you can end your life at some point. It is being done in Oregon.

Resisting the conduct of the nut job and his followers isn’t about politics. It is about good and evil and it is long past time for those who say they follow God and Christ to lay aside their political party affiliation and promote righteousness. How can any believer follow the nut job and his party given that the behavior they advocate is opposite of God? Jesus said let your light so shine … How can following the nut job and his cronies be letting your light shine for God?

It’s time for the people of this nation to face evil head on and demand that those in government (politicians) cease and desist from promoting evil behavior. Evil has real human faces and In Sorting it Out, an examination of the nut job and his followers show that they are evil to the core and are showing us the many faces of evil with more to come as the days and weeks go by.
