Liberalism is a Spiritual Problem
By Geri Ungurean
December 7, 2015
We’ve all heard Conservatives give their reasons for the words and actions of liberals. One radio personality says “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” Rather funny, right? Actually, this is no laughing matter.
I believe that the Word of God clearly shows that liberal minded people are deceived people who are lost in their sins. God has given many of them up to their own lusts and desires.
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:24-25).
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
I have liberal members of my own family. They taunt me and try to engage me in heated debates. I used to fall for that, but soon learned that it was a trap that Satan placed for me – a pit of sorts – to fall into and then become quite angry. Any opportunity to share the Gospel faded quickly as my flesh got in the way. I am learning to avoid such senseless arguments.
Recently, a member of the family by marriage posted some very disturbing things on her Facebook page. I try not to become paranoid, thinking that posts were meant for my eyes so as to upset me. But on this one particular day, every post was a liberal rant and one was even anti-Semitic. Oh – she went right for the jugular with that one.
Instead of explaining to the reader about these posts, I thought it would be better to post them here. Let’s start with the Antisemitic one – an article written in the Washington Post by a Muslim:
“What Americans thought of Jewish refugees on the eve of World War II By Ishaan Tharoor:
see poll

The results of the poll illustrated above by the useful Twitter account @histopinion were published in the pages of Fortune magazine in July 1938. Fewer than 5 percent of Americans surveyed at the time believed that the United States should raise its immigration quotas or encourage political refugees fleeing fascist states in Europe — the vast majority of whom were Jewish — to voyage across the Atlantic. Two-thirds of the respondents agreed with the proposition that “we should try to keep them out.” (Emphasis mine)
Yes, the comparison between Jewish and Syrian refugees matters
To be sure, the United States was emerging from the Great Depression, hardly a climate in which ordinary folks would welcome immigrants and economic competition. The events of Kristallnacht — a wave of anti-Jewish pogroms in areas controlled by the Nazis — had yet to take place. And the poll’s use of the term “political refugees” could have conjured in the minds of the American public images of communists, anarchists and other perceived ideological threats.”
The Muslim writer goes on with his drivel about America not wanting more Jews to come into our country. (I will spare you of the rest of his words).
Here is how he ends his article:
“Today’s 3-year-old Syrian orphan, it seems, is 1939’s German Jewish child.” [1] – source
REALLY? He is comparing the religion of Islam, which we all know has a fundamentalist sect whose goal is Jihad and world domination, with the Jewish people – who have been persecuted for centuries? WHEN were the Jews ever feared because they were beheading people and mass murdering them? NEVER.
And please tell me – how many 3 year old orphans have you seen in the many pictures of the so-called Syrian refugees? I have seen mostly able bodied young Muslim men.
