1. Secularism, at least in the west, is an anti-Christ philosophy. As much as possible, the secularists took what Christ said and sought to insert the opposite into the culture:
A. For instance, Jesus said that he is the revelation of God to man. The antichrist secularist says you cannot know who God is.
B. Jesus said he is the truth. The secularist says you cannot know the truth.
C. Jesus, at least in part, came to show us why we exist. The secularist says we can’t know why we exist.
D. Jesus, at least in part, came to show us what happens after death and how to prepare. The secularist says we can’t know what happens after death and how to prepare.
E. The morals of the secularist, as much as possible, are antichrist.
F. Transgenderism, homosexuality, abortion, fornicating, drunkenness, easy divorce, are all antichrist in nature.
G. Even the creation myth of the secularist is antichrist. Jesus says he created in a short period of time. The secularist says everything happened naturally over a very long extended period of time.
2. Abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, fornication, drunkenness, all religions point to the same God, radical feminism and environmentalism, evolution etc. are all antichrist in nature and all championed by the secularist:
A. We have lost every battle over these issues.
B. This means that up to this point we have lost every battle of the culture war.
3. When, as a country, we were generally speaking some manner of Protestant Christian, we had inherent boundaries given by God, but with secularism there are no inherent boundaries:
A. Since the secularist believes that we cannot know who God is, the arbitrary will of the majority rules. All standards are drawn in the sand and so can easily be erased and redrawn.
B. We can therefore become a very holy nation or a very evil nation depending on what the majority wants.
C. Whatever the majority wants will be considered to be good.
D. As with atheism, secularism is not about absolute right and wrong, but who has the power.
E. Whoever has the power gets to set the morals, beliefs, and standards of the society.
4. In a Christian society God gives us commandments, and they hold true for everyone despite personal beliefs to the contrary:
A. Standards are etched in concrete so they cannot simply be erased by those in power and redrawn. If someone steps over that line, (even those in power) they can be condemned and called back.
B. This can be done because, amongst other things, God is the creator, perfectly good, omniscient, and perfect love.
C. Being the creator, he has authority to tell everyone in the world what is right and wrong. Being omniscient, he can’t be wrong because of a lack of knowledge. Being perfectly good, he can’t be led astray by a less than perfectly good motive or desire. Being perfect love he always acts to our highest good.
D. So a God with these qualities has the authority to tell everyone in the world what is right and wrong, he can’t be wrong when he does it, and it has to be to our highest good to follow it.
E. This is a very important difference between a Christian society and a secular one.
4. Once homosexual marriages became the law of the land (at least for now) we lost the culture war:
A. The family is the basic building block of society.
B. Once the family is lost, the culture is lost.
C. When homosexual marriage became the law of the land, the Christian understanding of family was overturned.
D. So the basic building block of society ceased to be Christian.
E. If the foundation isn’t Christian, then neither is that which is built upon it.
F. Unfortunately for the homosexuals, the same cultural relativism that may allow them to get married in this generation could also get them executed in another, and both would be equally right.
6 Since for now we have lost the culture war, it probably won’t be too long before Christians begin to be severely persecuted:
A. The secularists believe they have won, but they still fear us because deep down they know that their fight is ultimately against Christ and we are his representatives.
B. Therefore, there is a good chance this fear will eventually be turned into severe persecution.
