Battle Lines (The War That Should Not Be)

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

-Paul to The Church in Ephesus

Do you see it?

In March of 2023 it happened. Another storm breached the horizon as one selfishly stole the lives of the innocent. Three adults. Three children. Six people that began their day like any other. Living by the assumption that they would cross the threshold of their home that evening. Unaware that their morning “goodbye” would be their last. Husbands without wives. Wives without husbands. Parents that have to watch the casket of their children being lowered into the earth. Worlds crashed down. Voids were born. An unbearable pain had dawn.

It is usual that the public square mourns the lost in these instances. And that they scorn the name of the heartless perpetrator. Some media outlets even refuse to mention the name of the murderer to deprive them of any iota of respect. Their own name given to them upon birth is no longer worthy to acknowledge. A name given by parents that could have never imagined in a thousand years that their little angel would be forever cast as a monster.

The Monster was a former student of the Nashville school. Disgruntled for whatever reason. Word has it that It was angry that It was forced to attend this school. A school that has its foundation in the Christian Faith. We can debate proper theology another time. It was angry because It was not Christian, yet had to breathe the air shared by those of The Faith. The root of Its resentment dug deep, fueled by Its sexual confusion and embrace of transgender foolishness. It saw that the only option for the therapeutic release was to pull the trigger. Seven graves opened up. Six for the unsuspecting. The seventh for The Monster. 

What happened afterwards was profound. Once one waded through the typical barrage of “we need to strip guns away from law abiding citizens” scapegoat, we were introduced to a new talking point. Speculation ran through the collective Voice. The “Day of Vengeance” they called it. Set to be carried out a few days later. At least those that chose to shed a light on something that would make the sexually confused look wicked spoke of it. Most treated it as if it was a myth. There is an agenda to protect after all. This vengeful day had a purpose- when  the confused and others of The Alternative were to protest the trampling of their rights and the oppression that strangles them every hour of the living day. Although the “vengeance” was a vague statement. Many believed that The Monster interpreted it as “murder” and could not wait until the long awaited day on April Fools. Eventually the “Day of Vengeance” was no more. The optics did not work well at this point. Make way for the “Transgender Day of Visibility”, a remembrance of the pretend oppression that they face. Where opposing voices are silenced, stalked with Fear, and entire beings are canceled in order to honor their confusion. So oppressed!

But what caused the moral to gasp was the sympathy given to The Monster. Many in The Voice commemorated The Monster as if It was a hero. A martyr that had enough of the pretend oppression and took matters into Its own hands. “Their cries are not being heard! Maybe the pop of the gun will wake their deaf ears! The oppression and discrimination must stop and if that means that someone must die then so be it. Whatever it takes.” As the bodies of the slain started their descent into the grave, those that captivate the public focused all their energy not on condemning the tragedy and honoring the victims. No. Instead they amplified the reason for the tragedy, and vilified the dead. They screamed the voice for The Monster that had been silenced. The first school shooting where the one that pulled the trigger was the victim. 

Searching the web of information and lies, one would not have to go far to find the shock value. As they proclaimed the victimhood of The Monster, many intentionally and inadvertently confessed that the true victims got what they deserved. Because they were the oppressors. The question that is begged is simple- how are they the oppressor if they have never met The Monster? Simple. They were Christians. They were the figurehead of the Christian Faith on that dark day. A representative of all of us as a whole. This was more than a Monster exacting vengeance on innocent Christians. This was Transgenderism attacking Christianity. Evil against good. Satan against Christ.

Do you see it?

The Voice, an advocate for the sexually confused, was quick to honor not just The Monster, but also the ideology that drove Its heinous act. It was justified in their eyes. Images of transgendered people and others of The Alternative holding firearms, threatening vengeance against those that oppose them, circulated with no condemnation. Those wicked Christians needed to be made an example of. However, is their lying narrative true?

No one is oppressing The Alternative community. In our current broken society, if you speak out against them you lose everything. Careers are shattered. Lives ruined. Whole voices canceled. The backlash is devastating. Conservative voices and Christians shudder to speak out, in fear of someone sending them a message that they will come to their home and feed their entire family through a wood chipper feet first. And The Voice and their counterpart The Left will give it much fanfare. Those of The Alternative are afforded more protection than any other group that trods the dirt of this earth. 

They cry out against discrimination. This is something that we all have to face. There will always exist discrimination. Against race. Against sexuality. Against religion. Against belief. Against physical appearances. Against wealth and so on. Discrimination has existed since the dawn of the fall of Adam. It will always exist in a sinful world and you cannot legislate it away. For it is a belief within the heart of man. Laws cannot extract that. 

Laws cannot read and discern thoughts. They also cry out against oppression. They are allowed to play make believe in their world of confusion. They can have jobs. They can vote. They can exchange vows with whoever and whatever they want. So where is this “oppression”? No one stands in their way for living how they choose. The powers that be allow them protection and permission. 

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”

-Jesus of Nazareth 

The oppression that they speak of is against Christianity. It is against the Christians that do not support The Alternative. We do not stop them. We do not hate them. We just do not agree with them. This thorn in their flesh is what keeps them awake through the midnight hour. Because they know deep within the caverns of their heart that what they do is a sin and an offense to God. They hunger for the approval of Believers because if we lie and tell them that they are not in sin, or that God supports their choice, then they can finally rest in knowing that they are made whole by righteousness. This is why talk show hosts always ask the question of their Christian guests “Is homosexuality a sin?”. They are either hoping that you will give them the false hope that they yearn for, or that they “gotcha” and can set their fangs upon you to shred you to nothing. But it is nothing new. Homosexuals have been seeking this approval for years. As each new color is added to the transgender flag it is another group looking for the comfort in knowing that God loves their sin as much as He loves them.

But it isn’t just the disapproval that has enraged The Alternative against Christians. It is also the people that choose to protect innocent children from the grooming. The taking advantage of innocent and naïve minds to drive them into their lifestyle. To drive innocent eight year old girls to identify as boys and start the permanent mutilation processes. To drive ten year old boys to dress in drag and sexually perform before sick minded perverted adults. To allow grown men to dress as women and strip before toddlers. To allow schools to promote pornography before seven year old children. To allow teachers to teach teenagers how to pleasure each other. Those that oppose these deviant and disturbing behaviors are all lumped together. Christian or not, in the eyes of the Alternative and The Voice, they are all cut from the same cloth. They desire approval for their sins. They know that if they cannot have it from this generation then they will teach the next generation otherwise. This is why they hunger for young naïve minds. An impressionable youth is very easy to mold. Anger fills the veins of The Alternative when one prevents the corruption and raping of such minds. They need approval. They need acceptance.

Such people that see nothing wrong with molesting the minds of children with sexual indoctrination are of the lowest. To prey on their innocence in order to make them one with them. Such a sick and perverted mind can only be bound by the chains of The Dark One. The morals of those that stand in his path are rooted in righteous thinking. Born from the inner voice planted from God and values derived from Christianity. They recognize that there is something seriously wrong with an adult that lives in such a twisted way, yet feasts upon children. This is more than a sexually confused disgruntled person taking the life of six innocent people. This is Satan using people as pawns in his game. In his attempt to destroy The Christ and those of The Way.

The unacceptance of The Way and The Right against The Alternative was enough to drive The Monster to aim Its way into martyrdom. An unacceptance of the twisting of one’s sexuality and being forced to play along. An unacceptance of perversion praying on the minds of unsuspecting children. Their pretending is an affront to reality. To basic biology. It pulled the trigger. The battle lines were drawn. But it does not have to be this way. Redemption can set them free. Salvation can end this war.

Many years ago I worked with a man named Mike at The Furniture Company. I often would be sent with him on service calls just to find something for me to do as I was the low man on the totem pole. As we were both godly men, we had many blessed conversations. Many of these dealt with current events. Long before transgenderism became the norm, before children became prey, even before homosexual marriage was legalized, I remember the words that I spoke to him- Homosexuality is what will “do the church in”. It is the harbinger of The Ungodly. Their hatred for Christ is driven by His stance against The Alternative. His followers fall within the collateral damage. No other sin begets their disdain. Just this one…

But of course you can pull the trigger all the day long, but you will never destroy His Church.

“‘They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,’ says the Lord, ‘to deliver you.’”

-The Prophet Jeremiah
