Exactly how do the beliefs of a Christian differ from those of a leftist? Can you be a leftist and still be a Christian? The Bible teaches us not to judge others but Jesus also said, as recorded by Matthew, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?” Does a Christian espouse beliefs that are contrary to God’s Word? The answer, of course, is a resounding “no!” So how exactly do our beliefs differ?
First and most importantly, Christians believe in order while leftists believe in chaos. Whether we are talking about binary sexes or the warming and cooling of the earth, leftists believe that everything can be and is constantly changed. Be a man today and a woman tomorrow. Be what you feel you are, regardless of what physical attributes you have. The world is going into an ice age! No, it is going to warm up and melt the polar ice caps! Whichever, we are at fault, because we are the agents of the chaos in which we exist. Christians believe in an orderly world created by an orderly creator, a world in which we have limited power. We cannot stop a hurricane or a tornado. We cannot prevent a flood, try though we might. We cannot stop the rain from falling or make it fall when we want it to. But while a leftist might see this as more proof of chaos, a Christian sees it as more proof of an orderly system put into place by God where storms and droughts are the result of natural effects that were “programed” into the world at its beginnings.
The Bible teaches us not to commit murder and Jesus was especially welcoming of children, scolding his disciples when they would have kept little children away from him. Yet leftists believe that the killing of an innocent child is a woman’s choice as long as that child is still within the mother’s womb or within minutes of having been born.
The Bible teaches that there is joy in bringing another person into the world. “ Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.” Furthermore, the Bible teaches that mankind was given dominion, control, over the earth and over the animals of the earth. While we were also charged with caring for it, its primary function is to sustain human life. Leftists would argue that humans’ primary function is to sustain the earth at the expense of human life. Leftists say we should not have children because of how horrible the world is that they would be born into and because more children will pollute the earth more.
The Christian is joyful. He or she sees the flowers, the trees, the changing seasons and revels in all that God has created. To the Christian, our country is a pretty good place and if problems exist, with God’s help, we know that we can solve them. Leftists are generally unhappy and dismayed with the world and with our country in general, They see only problems and in their minds, those problems become massive and depressing.
Christian children from the time they are old enough to attend Sunday School sing “Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” To the true follower of Christ, color barriers do not exist. People are simply people, and especially Christians, of every color, are brothers and sisters in Christ. But leftists choose to divide humanity into camps: Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Whites, Elites (the leftist themselves) and everyone else in order to pit us against one another.
Christians believe the Bible teaches that man and woman were created to complement each other, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and to form together the only marriage that can raise emotionally healthy children. The Bible clearly warns over and over again that for a man to love a man sexually, or for a woman to love a woman is both unnatural and a sin against God. But leftists have successfully destroyed the foundation of our society by destroying marriage between a man and a woman. They cry that if a man wants to love a man or a woman a woman that is their right and their choice, and that connection must now be called a marriage and they must be allowed to adopt and raise children.
Christians understand and accept the simple fact that God created a binary sexual world. There are mares and stallions, hens and roosters, bulls and cows, men and women. Even most plants must be pollinized by bees from other plants in order to reproduce. That is the natural order, created by an intelligent Maker. Male and female we were born. That is the way we remain. Leftists have further destroyed the foundations of marriage and childbearing by spreading the unscientific idea that anyone can determine their own gender (sexuality). In other words, although scientists will tell you that male or female sexuality is determined by your DNA (which transgenders are unable to change), leftists simply ignore this scientific fact since it does not fit their agenda.
Christians believe that God controls the world that He created and the universe in which it exists. If it gets hotter or colder, it is because of the natural order of the sun, moon, winds, and ocean currents. The warming and cooling of the earth is a natural, cyclical phenomenon that He put into place and which has continued since the world began. Our influence on its progression one way or the other is minuscule at best.Leftists believe humans are bringing destruction upon the earth through the use of fossil fuels. Burning gas and coal which emit carbon dioxide and farting cows which emit carbon monoxide gas are blamed for the current “global warming” which they claim we are experiencing.
Christians believe that humans are inherently bad, that given lack of moral guidance they will do that which benefits them no matter how that may hurt someone else. Leftists believe that humans are inherently good.
Christians believe there is absolute good (GOD) and absolute evil (the devil) and that therefore there is an unchanging moral right and wrong as taught in the Bible. Leftists often don’t believe in God and certainly don’t use the Bible as a moral guide. Morality to the left is whatever they determine it to be. To them, there is no unchanging right and wrong. Right and wrong change with the changing years.
Christians know that God controls and that their only aim in life is to do His will. Leftists do not accept the control of God in their lives or in the world. They, imagining themselves to be superior, wish to be in control of everyone else. It is a wide chasm that I fear cannot be crossed.
