Liberalism
-The Revisionist Movement-
"We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as definitive and has as its highest value one's own ego and one's own desires," Pope Benedict declared at a pre-conclave Mass in St. Peter's Basilica
Through the centuries, people have desired to become more liberated with their views. This can occur and continue to occur when there is no final authority. Liberalism is the opposite of fundamentalism. Liberalism rejects the Bible as the final authority. Fundamentalism embraces the Bible as the final authority.
There is nothing that has ever depressed me more than the Liberalist movement. It is taught in schools and universities today. It is even considered to be a virtue. The news stations with the exception of FOX News present a Liberal view. When I was growing up, liberalism wasn't popular but today it is. When I am forced to hear promotions of liberalism, I have the desire to just pack up my belongings and live in the middle of nowhere to get away from it. It used to be called sin. Now it is called Liberalism. I hope my information presented here can offer some consolation to any readers who feel the same as I. - Jeremy Brown
Liberalism has its beginnings in Europe in the 18th century. It "may be used to describe one of several ideologies that claims individual liberty to dissent from orthodox tenets or established authorities in political or religious matters (Wikipedia 2003)."
Originally, it was not sinful to be a Liberal but now it is.
Much of the Modern Liberal Movement in America can be traced back to 1920 when the the leader of the Communist party Roger Baldwin founded the ACLU.
In 1960, the NeoLiberalist movement began and overshadowed traditional Liberalism by focusing on what they considered to be social justice using pragmatic methods, especially in terms of church state separation and gay rights.
The word "liberal" in the true sense of the word means to make free. Yet, liberalism today has pressed hard to liberate people from morality, the conscience, traditional values, decency, the Bible, and God.
Let's talk about Nineveh for a moment. God told Jonah to go tell Nineveh that He was going to destroy them because they had liberated themselves from God's patterns of acceptibility. When Jonah finally made it to Nineveh after finally submitting to God's will and arriving, Nineveh repented and decided to no longer attempt to liberate themselves from God and His laws.
The world has many times liberated folks when evil was done. Terrorism, torture, invasions, and the like have been remedied in recent years by quote "decent nations." Saying so leaves a bad taste in my mouth. "Lesser of the other evils" may be more accurate than "decent nations." Know that I fully back the President in his War on Terror.
The Modern Liberal Movement is actually Marxism, Communism, Socialism.
Is this progress? Modern Liberals are more totalitarian than Marx ever was.
So many mindsets of the Liberal-Left parallel the Communist Manifesto.
Liberals have been all for pornography, abortion, less laws, legalizing illegal drugs, legalizing sodomy, music and software piracy.
This all used to be called Anarchy (abscence of government). Anarchists are Liberals as well.
The Liberal party in Europe first began just after World War 2. At that time it had not progressed into the sinful version that it is today. These days, just as America, Liberals and Democrats have become one and the same. It has not always been that way.
At first, the Democratic party was doing right by supporting women and those of other races. Kudos to them for that. But, when they began looking to popular opinion instead of God's Word then they got into trouble. Just like Nineveh. Just like Sodom and Gomorrah. Just like Israel many times. Civilization now looks at popular opinion for morals and laws when they need to look at the only reliable standard that humans have to measure truth by, the Bible.
Again, "liberal" does mean 'free.' But, to free oneself from God's patterns of acceptability is not remotely permissible.
Separation of God and State, eh? Did that work for Marx, Stalin, or Castro?
When I think of Liberals, I think of hackers, terrorists, anarachy, the black market, Satanism, the occult, cult religions, prostitution, drugs, alcohol, abortionists, and the Southern States in the American Civil War.
