Holy Indignation versus the American Apostasy
Bob Neumann, 1999
HOLY INDIGNATION verses THE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS BANDWAGON.
(((SUBTITLE))) (separating ABBA’S HEART from the pseudo-spiritual garbage of AMERICAN APOSTASY)
In the last seventy-two hours I have been barraged by well meaning ”calls-to-arms” by many well meaning people. I suppose they all meant to raise the masses of American Churchianity in Holy Indignation against the ”strongholds”. Presently there are three hot beds of aggravated religiosity being raised for my/our actions.
First is a flippant response to a complaint by an ABC employee. On ABC there is a program called THE PRACTICE, and they supposedly had a program where ”homosexuality” was either promoted/defended. Someone wrote an email to complain, and was treated ”poorly”. That is what I can figure out from the whole dust cloud so far…. What exactly they expect me to do, I am unsure….
Second is a commercial by Anheiser Busch where a gay couple are drinking. The Company has set up 1-800 #’s to weigh American sentiments…. So I am to call and vote….
Third is the TIME magazine pole on the person of the century…..Adolph Hitler and Elvis are presently in the thick of it…. Again I am to call and vote…..
To think that any or all three are of such earth shaking importance that so many have reached out to me. To instill some level of indignation and to bring forth an emotional outburst for the GLORY of GOD?
GIVE THE DOG A BREAK!!!!
The world is at the brink of war on seven different fronts…. our Christian brothers and sisters are being murdered on a scale unseen for 1600 years in places the average American does not know exists. judgment is upon America and all I see is trivial pursuit in the ranks of the ”remnant”.
Sorry SAINTS, but ABBA has spoken correction and the kids are priding themselves at ”bein’ bad”….being a force to recognize in the ”real” world. Flexing Christian clout’ and make the world take notice…..…
Do you really think MELEK Y’SHUA is concerned about a TIME Magazine ”popularity pole”? obviously a lot of Americans do!!!! it’s a hell of a lot easier than picking up a cross and following…..
I’ve been busy here in south Florida…..the attacks against my pastor and our congregation have been devastating. I still get 10-15 posts a day from people in need of ”ministry” ..… everyday a new one or two.
Plus I hear and obey…..
SOOOOOO….I do not spend a lot of time watching beer commercials….. nor do I spend any money for Anheiser Busch products. So there is no need for me to threaten boycotting Bud and Bud Light as a positive political action. Give Mr. Busch credit for creating a Christian 1-800#” to register public sentiment. Frankly I can see why they are uncertain where the chips may fall here. Many Christian denominations are accepting alternative lifestyles. Many Christians buy their product regularly….. How do they know where the ”LIGHT” shines?
But is counting anonymous calls the way to witness for our LORD?
NOW, I do not watch too much TV….there is little there that is uplifting or gratifying. So I missed the whole point of contention with ABC……..
NOW, I wonder if all these “Christians have anything better to do than watch commercial TV? NOW, if you really have to watch that ”stuff” and then feel ”self-righteous enough to both complain and be upset at the response, you need to get right before GOD and read HIS WORD.
HIS WORD says anyone who is one with JESUS will be hated by the world. I think HE used words like ”reviled”, ”persecuted”, ”suffer” to describe what it would be like.
How come we got so many ”uppity” brethren out there?
The CHURCH is portraying itself as a bunch of thin skinned ‘cry babies’ who want to contend for the faith by dialing telephone #’s….. The Media paints us as a bunch of over emotional fanatics chained to agendas that make little sense to the world at large. They see us as eager to force our ideas/ideals on them. After several years of listening to “Christian Activists” I have to acknowledge the Media is correct in much of their assessment. Which makes me wonder where we left THE WORD and created something else. THE WORD CALLS IT ABOMINATION….. doing what is right in our own eyes.
Now if someone can tell me how a TIMES Magazine Pole, a TV Program protest, and the removal of a beer commercial will be ”salt and light” to the world, and make ”disciples”; I really would love to know.
