Subject: The "awful" Truth? |
Bible Note: A little tidbit I wanted to share, courtesy of Douglas Wilson (http://www.credenda.org/issues/14-2meander.php): 'The push is already on. In the aftermath of the September 11 tragedy, and in the wake of the impressive American military action in Afghanistan, we are hearing different voices calling for a domestic intolerance of every form of "intolerance." Conservative Christians will find themselves under increasing pressure to deny the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. We will be allowed to keep a tiny jesus, but not permitted to affirm that He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Any claim to uniqueness on behalf of the Christian faith will be called (as it has already been called) an American form of Talibanism. The reasoning goes this way: the thing which made these Muslim fanatics so dangerous is not that they believed a lie (as we would hold), but rather that they thought they knew the truth. To these folks, truth is clearly the enemy. Truth is the adversary. Truth flies planes into skyscrapers. 'What would our nation do if a man came to us, claiming to be the Truth? We would do the same thing we did the first time?crucify Him.' --Joe! |
