They tend to deceive themselves that they are, but the Bible says they are fools:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1 The fool has said in his heart,<br \/>\n&#8220;There is no God.&#8221;<br \/>\nThey are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; (Psalm 53:1)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This corruption has other consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The New Testament teaches:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 <strong>Professing to be wise, they became fools<\/strong>, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man \u2014 and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.<\/p>\n<p>24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.<\/p>\n<p>28 And even as <strong>they did not like to retain God in their knowledge<\/strong>, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.\u00a0 (Romans 1:18-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the clear teachings of scripture on matters such as sexual immorality and the FACT that the Bible says not to condone it, it is pushed as the idea that all should go along with it.<\/p>\n<p>Some seem to get pleasure out of lockdowns, censorship of biblical views, etc. While the following from an American author points to &#8216;leftists,&#8217; secularlists of all types should often be included:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title u-page-title-color\">For Leftists, Your Freedom Is Their Misery \u2013 Your Slavery Is Their Joy<\/h2>\n<p>There is a certain level of madness required to reach the state our country is in today. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, almost any group can become an exploitable weapon used by psychopaths. There have been times in history where the elites within the Catholic Church used zealotry among Christians to dominate society to the point of torture and terror during the inquisitions and crusades. During the George W. Bush era I remember well the lies about WMDs used to herd Republicans into pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, that is the past. Today the problem of zealotry is resoundingly on the side of the political left.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, the political left is now the side that is most appealing to narcissists, sociopaths, the emotionally unstable, etc., and this attraction is forming a mob that can be easily exploited by the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>What I find interesting is that leftists actually believe that THEY are the underdogs and that they are fighting a \u201crevolution\u201d against the establishment. This is a bizarre disconnect from reality. Every major institution of power and influence in the US is on the side of the political left. How can you be rebelling against the establishment if all your values coincide with the establishment\u2019s agenda?<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media and Hollywood have gone hardline in favor of leftist propaganda from critical race theory to the trans agenda and identity politics to feminism to socialism and centralization. Nearly every commercial, TV show and movie we see today reflects a far-left viewpoint or far left imagery, even though the majority of the population has no interest in woke ideology. Clearly, leftists and their friends in media think that if they force their cultism into people\u2019s faces non-stop 24\/7 that we will eventually capitulate and embrace it.<\/p>\n<p>Big Tech and major social media platforms ALL operate according to leftist politics. All of their terms of service rules are enforced to protect leftists from criticism and to censor conservatives and any moderates that dare speak up. The evidence overwhelmingly <a href=\"https:\/\/quillette.com\/2019\/02\/12\/it-isnt-your-imagination-twitter-treats-conservatives-more-harshly-than-liberals\/\">shows a left leaning bias<\/a> in Big Tech censorship with conservatives being booted off platforms for nothing more than citing facts. We saw this recently with Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia GOP representative, who was banned from Twitter and called a \u201cfar-right conspiracy theorist\u201d for posting links to the <a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/\">VAERS database<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Social media is also commonly used as a weapon by leftists in order to \u201ccancel\u201d people that step out of line. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But where does this mentality come from?<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s a combination of a culture of narcissism and collectivism coupled with a desperate desire for weak people to feel as though they are powerful. Leftists are very commonly people you might call the \u201crunners-up\u201d in life. There are a lot of malcontents and socially inept failures in their ranks that grow up feeling powerless. Instead of improving their lot by improving themselves and achieving something of merit, they instead blame others and the world for their lack of accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>This mentality can also be seen with their academia which often exaggerates their own importance and the importance of their accolades. One can get a masters degree in social sciences or feminist studies, but how useful is that person to the world really? Being an activist alone is not a career and they produce nothing, so the only measure of their education and their life is how much they can destroy, not how much they can build and create.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Rogan\u2019s latest move from Twitter over to GETTR is another big story that leftists are losing their minds over. They act as though they just want to be rid of conservatives and argumentative moderates from their \u201csafe spaces,\u201d but in reality this does not satisfy them. They don\u2019t want us to walk away, they want us to conform. They want us trapped within their echo chambers and going along to get along, or, they want us erased. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>They want you to die for going against the mandates.<\/p>\n<p>01\/13\/22 <a href=\"https:\/\/alt-market.us\/for-leftists-your-freedom-is-their-misery-your-slavery-is-their-joy\/\">https:\/\/alt-market.us\/for-leftists-your-freedom-is-their-misery-your-slavery-is-their-joy\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Before going further, it should be pointed out the the LGBTQ types believe that they are oppressed.

Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God\u2019s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">Here is a summary of ten items to consider: 1. If as the School of Elijah taught, that God inspired Elijah to state that the world as we have known it would last 6,000 years, to be followed by a thousand year sabbatical time, which Jewish tradition (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]) and early Christian traditions records (e.g. Irenaeus, a hearer of Polycarp. Adversus haereses, Book V, Chapter 30:4), then we are getting close to the end of that time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">2. And if, consistent with scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, we can apply the concept that a thousand years is as a day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">3. And if, as generally understood in the Church of God that Jesus was killed and resurrected no later than the Spring of 31 A.D. on Passover. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">4. And if we can presume that the \u201clast days\u201d of a 7,000 year prophetic week began AFTER the middle day (day 4), then the last days prior to the \u201csabbatical\u201d time, which some would refer to as the millennial Kingdom of God would last two thousand years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">5. And if when Peter referred to being in the last days (Acts <\/span>2:17<span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">-18) and since Hebrews 1:1-12 teaches that \u201cGod \u2026 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">6. Then adding 2,000 years to a period of time leads to the end of the 6,000 years no later than 2031 (and it could be earlier than that). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">7. Since the Great Tribulation is expected to start 3 1\/2 years prior to that (cf. Revelation <\/span>12:14<span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">; 13:5) subtracting 3 1\/2 years from the Spring of 2031 would be late in 2027. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">8. Understand that the U.S.A. is prophesied to be taken over near the rise of the Beast and start of the Great Tribulation (cf. Daniel <\/span>11:39<span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">; Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew <\/span>24:21<span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">-22). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">9. Therefore, since the end of two full U.S.A. presidential terms would end in January of 2029, these prophetic understandings point to the end of the U.S.A. prior to two full presidential terms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">10. This is also consistent with certain Hindu and Roman Catholic prophetic writings as well.

But what about the USA, Canada, and Germany? What about the European Union? What about internet media companies such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, or email services like MailChimp? Has the attempt to control information been made by various ones over the centuries? Was the New Testament affected by it? What about the church throughout the centuries? Has the Bible already been partially censored? Which Bible prophecies point to coming Internet censorship? What about the Book of Amos? What about the coming 666 Beast and final Antichrist? Is there anything that can be done about this? Should Philadelphian Christians be working on anything now? Will preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God vs. a highly media-supported alternative lead to a \u2018famine of the word\u2019? More internet censorship is coming as various statements in the Bible support.<span class=\"style17\"><span class=\"style5\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/snowden-usa-destruction.htm\"><br \/>\n<\/a><span class=\"style4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/spanish-inquisition.htm\">The Spanish Inquisition and Early Protestant Persecutions<\/a><\/span> Was the Church of Rome really responsible for this?

We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell\u2019s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution?
