I was on a Christian site that is the largest I had found on the internet, Christianforums.com. I joined over three years ago in an attempt to find fellowship online since church services are so limited in my area.
Unfortunately, I realized that Christians are our own worst enemy.
It seems that the Christian faith is suffering the same fate as much of the world in that it is turning away from Godly standards and embracing leftist ideology.
The site was populated by many "Christians" from Europe, and they are the most hateful, liberal, and nasty people I've encountered online.
Because I owned firearms and carry one for self-defense, I was called demon-possessed, a non-Christian, and had "murder in my heart". Just the most foul things you could say to a Believer.
There was a thread last week in which they were debating the new abortion laws in Virginia, and many people defending the law and Planned Parenthood in general were Lutherans. I commented that I had no idea that Lutherans hated babies so much and was banned from the political forums.
So here I am, trying to find fellowship, and realizing that the poison of leftism has seeped into all areas. It's like a virus that is spreading unchecked all over the world and causing hate and violence towards Christians and conservatives.
I was just reading Revelations last month and I don't recall any wording that specifically reminded me of this modern spread of leftist ideology.
But surely it has to have been alluded to in Scripture?
It seems to be the driving force behind the attempt to enslave mankind and remove God from the world, so there just has to be a scriptural reference to such an evil philosophy.
