not sure what you meant . The preacher I talked about proposed killing and abusing gays . I’ll repeat. He deserved to be made persona non grata
Gotcha.

It's like people proposing preborn can be killed. It's hate speech and they should be made non grata

I do think the public can do a better job of keeping the media honest, though. We should not support biased journalism. This requires significant cultural change but the Fourth Estate should serve without fear or favour.
Yes but the public will never agree on what is biased. And all journalists are biased. I look for sources that give a lot of verifiable information, and do investigative journalism. Yet many people here would consider those sources biased since the journalists themselves are liberal and the facts presented support a liberal worldview.

Expressing disapproval or saying anything unflattering about Persons of Politically Privileged Pigmentation or Perversion.
So, What is "politically privileged pigmentation? And who decides if something is Perverted.

Yes, but American politics, conservative or otherwise, is not the Gospel. Ridiculing someone for their race/heritage is not part of the gospel. Encouraging harassment is not the gospel. I would say that mocking someone for their sin, whatever it is, is not part of the gospel. One's ability to make money from those pursuits has nothing to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ either (source).
Who or what are you responding to? Certainly not the OP.

Yes the OP.

The fact people are trying to spin the reality to the narrative that fits their persecution complex doesn't change the facts.
Character assassination? Not unheard of with the Left. Rather sophomoric in my opinion, attacking personally rather than addressing the issues raised in the OP.

Well gee I dunno: Who decides what is hateful? You? Who would you trust to censor you for being hateful, perverted, dishonest, etc?

Politically Privileged Pigmentation is when you can have lower grades, scores, aptitude, higher violence, etc, but be held less accountable and still gain access, promotions, etc.

Here is the issue. People are being accused of "hate speech" when you are simply stating facts that the offended simply doesn't like. Or, bringing to light a truthful issue that goes against their beliefs. Or, simply stating an opinion that the other person disagrees with.

Freedom of speech is a very important freedom. If you start to censor people who are stating their opinion.. where does that leave evangelism and witnessing for God?

I believe that, although we may not like what others are saying, if it's true or if it's them just stating their opinion... then, they have a right to state it.

If they are trying to incite violence or injury on someone.. that's another story..

Would you support a law penalizing, with jail or fines, hate speech against the pre-born?
Not to stir the pot, but, I'm having an issue with trying to figure out an example of "hate speech" against a pre-born.

Be careful about accusing others of being nihilists because of their views on the end times. My faith and ambition in Christ is not reliant upon the current or future state of the world.
Hi and thanks for the response;. God bless you.

Nihilism? Not sure what that has do with what I posted. However, the expectation of moral decline does in fact weaken expectation for widespread positive change in society. What we are expecting in terms of evangelism and positive change do in fact effect our motivation for improving society.

I'll not get into the rapture debate but regardless of you view on this, do you think the world will be in a state of this great awakening and then, POOF, everyone's following the Anti-Christ?

I believe the Rapture event is a separate event from Christ's return. It is in fact God's desire to Rapture the Church in the midst of a last great awakening/revival. The "spoof" you speak of is not descriptive of my model.

There will not be a restraining effect on evil in the world once the Church is gone and no longer interceding for the nations--and the 144,000 probably has no mandate to evangelize the world in general, as we do. So rapid support for the anti-Christ after the Church is taken is not surprising.

All scripture that describe inevitable moral decline can be ascribed to that period of 7 or more years separating the Rapture and the Return. Some reference to decline concerning people falling away and propagating heresies has already occurred. Such apostasy is not representative of worldwide increasing evil as described by certain verses.

No, the world must decline to that point over time. Using the great awakening during John Wesley's time is a perfect example actually. He lived in the 1700's. Compare that to today. Britain was somewhere in the lower 90% Christian already. The rest of Europe was probably somewhere around that
A demographic of identified Christians is not necessarily representative of the genuiness of all such Christians. The Great Awakenings occurred as a response to Christian identified societies that were recognizably decaying morally.

John Wesley specifically described the deplorable moral condition of his society, and it was not pretty. His society was turned around morally/spiritually. Such impressive reversals alone are contrary to the pre-Rapture inevitable decline claim.

We had entire Christian continents and empires. Can you say that about today? A previous sitting U.S. President stated in front of the world that we are no longer a Christian nation.
In terms of law and policy, we now have a President that has done more to further the Christian agenda in the US than any other US president in recent history. That of course is contrary to pre-Rapture inevitable decline claims.

There are other examples. The Reformation; civil rights improvements in the 60's, etc. The evidence does in fact deny the Pre-Rapture inevitable decline claim.

Eschatology impacts our evangelistic efforts and results. That is a fact.

You're conflating issues. I believe you are presenting some straw-men as well.

Another straw-man. Come on now.

The evidence of real anti-Christian bias is there concerning the social media giants.

What is "hate speech" exactly?
I have pondered that. I am not a professional philosopher, but is there really any such thing as "hate speech." There is speech that contains anti-biblical hate, but to describe the entirety of a speech as "hate" seems illogical since speech is no more hate than hate is speech.

As "hate" is now being so widely and seemingly inappropriately used, "hate" itself is considered solely within a negative connotation. But "hate" is not itself negative or evil, if it is otherwise, then God would not hate and neither would Scripture encourage Christians to hate certain things that God hates.

Thinking individuals must work against efforts to redefine words, doing otherwise makes it increasingly difficult to describe true and biblical concepts.
