DEMONIC HYPOCRISY

December 17, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Demonic does not care about hypocrisy.

Christians complaining among Christians about leftist hypocrisy (and ‘no fair’ and ‘illegal’ and ‘unconstitutional’ and ‘criminal’) has no effect on the left.

So, how should we spend our time and energy, and air time, to make a difference beyond revealing and repeating facts about pagans acting like pagans ?

MIDDLE GROUND – – – CONSEQUENCES

Comments before the Temple City Council in Texas—December 1, 2022

DEI—LGBT—all one big agenda—never satisfied

Claims of being persecuted have been used to gain a hearing.

Media obliged, followed by compliant government and accommodating businesses.

+just want equal rights

+got it—sodomy laws revoked

+got it—gay marriage

+not enough—want public endorsement

+got it—White House lit up in rainbow lights

+got it—lots of celebration, and prominent business endorsements, in Temple, for the first ‘annual’ gay pride day—with enthusiastic expectations of  bigger and better next year

+got it—a drag queen show hailed as family friendly, open to the public, in Temple, without a word of regulation to protect children

– – –

T has been added to LGB.

DEI is the new code to slip in their agenda.

The drag queen show in Temple is directly in sync with sexually mutilating children’s bodies irreversibly, at the altar of transgender (just like we mutilated sixty million children already).

– – –

Do you think for a moment that it will stop here?

Do you realize there is a powerful, organized force behind all this, organized to destroy everything we hold dear in this country, this town?

– – –

Soon, every business mission statement must include inclusion—specific wording catering to LGBT—or else you can’t do business, IN TEMPLE ? ? ?  YES, IN TEMPLE—sounds good, except for the Christian in business, IN TEMPLE ! ! !

– – –

“Jesus Is Lord of This Business” on MY business card is not compatible with any form of LGBT/DEI.

If we do not take a stand to halt this agenda—and just let it be—guaranteed it will take over this city—lawsuits with Christians pining through the courts for years, like in other cities right now (Lorie Smith, Christian web designer in Colorado, appears before the Supreme Court Monday).

– – –

When “the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy” America:

+Subversion gains a foothold.

+The fringe gains publicity.

+The radical gains power.

+Evil demands endorsement.

+Good edged out to the fringe.

+Christians persecuted.
