Christians and traditional Jews are universally hated by most governments. Their pesky Commandments, like “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” have been removed from public properties all over the world. As tyranny takes over, the speed of such erasures accelerates.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness.” is particularly offensive to those who make a living by lying to taxpayers about the merits of whatever program pays their salary. It’s galling for them to have to walk by such proclamations on the way to their office, which is why public buildings jam-packed with bearers of false witness are the most frequent targets for such “purification”.
And, in every trial in every courthouse, many do not want to have a readily visible notice that they should not lie staring them in the face. It’s of particular concern that unenlightened jurors see such reminders.
When an idolizer is threatened with truth, a popular lie often appears: “My beliefs have equal rights with yours, because your faith is simply another sort of idol.”
The soul trapped in such relativity is forced to live a life that is increasingly enslaved to ever-greater lies.
That enslavement fills their souls, which, by its programmed nature, loves obedience to The Programmer, with increasing levels of hatred. That hatred is invariably focused on those who believe that God is more worthy than the idols that have enslaved them to the point that their free will, their most precious possession, is lost to them.
Our job is to strengthen our faith. When lost, hate-filled souls put us to the test, which may include death and torture, we must endure to the end to be saved.
Easier said than done.
