Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-418: Embrace the Epithet

I have written about the philosophy of deconstructionism a few times.  The thing that affects us most is the way in which the Progressive* left has been redefining words based on the theory that words actually have no specific meaning, they depend entirely on context. While there is a grain of truth in the the big problem is that it is the liberals who decide what the context is, not the actual facts of the case.

One example of this is the taking of the verb hate and coming up with a noun hater.  I would accept the fact that the idea of being a hater was available to previous generations, but it didn’t become a pejorative term to be cast at anyone who disagreed with you.

It may be time for the good people of the world to embrace the epithet. Contrary to what a lot of well meaning, good hearted people want to believe, there are some things that deserve hating.  In fact, they demand hating.  In fact, God demands that we hate them.  Consider the following verse,

Proverbs 8:13 (NASB95) “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate.
Evil exist.  It may take many forms.  One of the most obvious is what you see going on in Europe, where gangs of Muslim men roam around and rape anyone who looks available.  There is no punishment.  There is no condemnation.  They feel very righteous because they look upon anyone who’s not Muslim as being subhuman.  Women are even lower than that.  If you cannot define this as evil then you’re moral compass has been dropped and the needle is stuck in one direction.  It doesn’t matter which way you pointed it’s not gonna tell you what is true and righteous.

So if someone calls you a hater, embrace it.  It may be that they are speaking the truth.  It may be that you are doing what God wants you to do and that you are hating evil.  By the way, this is not the only verse in the Bible that reinforces this idea.
