SUMMARY: Dr. Lively asserts that scorn for conspiracy theories in mainstream society is itself evidence of a conspiracy to inculcate self-censoring behavior in the citizenry to suppress inquiry into the agenda of the Marxist ideologies in control of our media, academia and other institutions. He argues that people conspiring to bring about mutually desired results is as normal a part of human society as breathing — with some conspiracies being benign and some corrupt. In a truly healthy society, reasonable, evidence-based theories about conspiracies would be a natural and healthy part of public discourse, but in our unhealthy society attempts to “look behind the curtain” are suppressed by ridicule and mockery rather than weighed objectively on their merits.

ARTICLE:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2.

One of the first things I noticed as a baby Christian is the extent to which the people of the world manipulate each other for various selfish reasons – often conspiring together to do so. Previously, my sense of reality was largely shaped by the mainstream media and my public school education, which I perceived as trustworthy, generally. But after I was born again in Christ, all of my perceptions changed. I experienced a refreshing and exciting new clarity of mind that allowed me recognize and understand the world as God actually made it – to comprehend the moral and physical laws God built into His Creation, and for the first time to have a truly rational intellectual framework in which to think through any subject or question.

Today I can personally attest to the profound truth of Psalm 19:7-8: “The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.”

One essential truth is the reality of the SATANIC CONSPIRACY. Mature Bible-grounded Christians will instantly “Amen” this proclamation. But how many less mature Christians will instead hesitate, or cringe or deflect out of fear, either of the word “conspiracy” or the word “Satan.” Not a fear “of Satan,” but a fear of having to defend the concept of Satan in a society conditioned to mock Christianity and the Bible. It’s really the fear of man, which is itself fruit of the satanic conspiracy.

I speak not from judgment but from experience, having once been guilty of these same reactions – before intense persistent persecution for opposing the LGBT agenda strengthened me spiritually. By persevering instead of giving up or compromising, I was blessed by God with the rare and powerful gift of liberation from concern about public opinion – which I now recognize as a hidden meaning of John 8:6 “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” I do not boast in myself, for this is the gift of God.

With this freedom I can and do boldly proclaim to the world outside the church “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” but I can and do also publicly expound and analyze “conspiracy theories” of any type, regardless of their level of “kookiness” in the perception of others. All matters of truth, deception, reality and fantasy are within the scope of Biblical analysis and it is important for believers to speak truth on all matters of concern to humanity – especially truth that Satan obviously wants suppressed. Remember, he is the Father of Lies whose influence among men relies on deception.

In reality, “conspiracy” is everywhere, as natural as breathing. People regularly conspire with each other to accomplish mutual goals, from the benign agreement of adult children to convince Mom to move to a retirement facility, to the corrupt agreement of gas station owners in a particular locality to fix prices. Corrupt conspiracies are so common they have their own category in criminal and civil law, litigated in tens of thousands of cases every day.

If the “common people” whose lives revolve around working for a living and raising a family so freely engage in conspiracies together, how much more are the agenda-driven “uncommon people” like politicians, business magnates, and ideologues of various stripes conspiratorially minded? A priori, why wouldn’t we expect the super-rich elites, especially multi-generational dynastic families who control vast empires, to be the most conspiratorial of all, developing mutually-agreed strategies and systems designed to perpetuate their power indefinitely? In the logic of the world they would be fools not to do so.

Put this common-sense analysis into the Biblical context, in which Satan, the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) has the power to assign principalities and powers to whom he pleases (Matthew 4:8-9), and the existence of an “Illuminati” or similar cabal seems virtually certain.

Given the reality of conspiracy as an normal aspect of social interaction, why are reasoned, evidence based speculations about conspiracies in history, politics and current events met with scorn and derision by the “mainstream” of our society? I argue this is itself evidence of a conspiracy to program irrational self-censorship in society to suppress inquiry that would otherwise be a normal part of public discourse.

Granted, many conspiracy theories are unfounded, just as many opinions on matters of public concern reflect faulty perspectives and/or reasoning. But, in a healthy society the public discourse should be as lively and diverse as the population itself, with all ideas and arguments measured against the standards of truth and evidence.

Our society is presently very unhealthy, because a vast international network of people who share a theology called Humanism (the religion of Marxism) have conspired together for many decades to overthrow Bible-based civilization and replace it with their own global socialist order. They have systematically infiltrated and coopted nearly every institution of our society, retasking them to serve the Marxist agenda. And in furtherance of that agenda they have imposed a “group-think” mentality on at least three generations of public school students, developed by the social sciences and reinforced by mass media: the simple but powerful result of this conditioning being an unnatural but overpowering “fear of ridicule” in virtually everyone.

Saul Alinsky’s book of Marxist tactics “Rules for Radicals,” taught that “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,” and our culture has been carefully reshaped to maximize the effect of that weapon.

My exhortation today is for Christian believers to “Fear Not.” We should be modeling courage anyway in the face of the orchestrated coronavirus pandemic and panic that has the world stampeding like cattle. But we should especially Not Fear to tell truths and expose conspiracies at this pivotal time when fake news, fake science, and fake Christianity are also at pandemic levels. Be reasonable. Be fact-based. But be Bold Adversaries of the Deceiver.

Since it first emerged late in 2019, I’ve contended that the Coronavirus plague is a globalist-orchestrated pandemic designed to kill the international populist/nationalist rebellion. I matched the disease timeline to that of the Trump victory over the impeachment scam, and showed a very similar timeline match-up of the 2009 Tea Party emergence with the H1N1 “Swine Flu” pandemic.

Most recently I explained why the globalists are willing to suffer great harm to their own interests from the current pandemic by analogizing the logic of cancer chemotherapy – which is essentially self-poisoning in the expectation that the host will survive the poison while the cancer will not, after which the weakened but living host can eventually fully recover. Trump and the nationalist movement represent to the globalists a form of cancer that will, if left “untreated,” kill their nearly realized vision of a global socialist order. Other forms of “treatment” having failed, they have resorted to the more extreme measure of unleashing pestilence on the world to crash the Trump economy, and justify a global police-state crack-down masked as a public health emergency.

Are the elites truly that black-hearted to kill possibly millions of their fellow human beings to serve their political interests? For politically-awakened students of history that’s a rhetorical question. People who can and have justified wars of aggression, assassinations, violent regime change, and even the slaughter of innocent unborn babies by the millions are obviously morally capable of spreading disease as a political tactic.

The best example of this may be the “Spanish Flu” pandemic of 1918. A friend recently introduced me to two must–read articles on the topic that triggered my own broader investigation that I will now summarize.

First, according to these highly persuasive articles, the “Spanish Flu” was neither Spanish, nor Flu. It was a form of bacterial pneumonia (virtually identical to equine pulmonary emphysema) spread by an “experimental” vaccine called “antimeningococcus serum” derived from horse blood by the Rockefeller Institute. The first cases were not in Spain but at Fort Riley, Kansas, one of several military bases where US soldiers bound for the WWI battlefields of Europe were used as guinea pigs for human testing of the vaccine starting in January of 2018. The disease spread rapidly in the close confines of troop transport ships and then around the world, while concurrently the Rockefeller Institute was shipping antimeningococcic serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries. The ensuing global pandemic eventually killed 50-100 million people.

Second, while the writer of the Spanish Flu articles attributed good intentions to Rockefeller (who went on to launch the industry we call Big Pharma) and blamed the pandemic on the hubris of a medical community unwilling to consider evidence compiled by a mere veterinarian, I personally see a much darker Rockefeller motive, grounded in his well-documented eugenicist philosophy. Rockefeller was, of course, a very early financier of the abortion industry but his passion for eugenics went much further than child killing.

Before I detail that, let me shed some light on the eugenics movement itself and how influential it was at the time of the Spanish Flu pandemic. For this summary I will draw heavily on two other superb articles. One titled “ German and American Eugenics in the Pre-World War 1 Era,” the other titled “The Horrifying American Roots of Nazi Eugenics.”

What would later be called the science of eugenics began with a social panic in the late 1700s that human population would soon outstrip food production. Out of this came a movement named Malthusianism (after the writer of a landmark essay on the topic, Thomas Malthus), which focused on population control. The prospect of having too many “serfs” was especially worrisome for the elites, whose own thoughts about limiting population included the desire that higher quality genetic lines be preserved, while the lesser ones would be eliminated.

In 1883, Charles Darwin’s cousin, Francis Galton, coined the word eugenics and advocated for science to increase “desirable qualities” in human beings and decrease undesirable ones through eugenic methods. His notions of race improvement became very popular in the US, where they spawned two major camps: negative and positive eugenics. The American scientific community, backed in part by Rockefeller, aligned itself more closely with negative eugenics which “encouraged occasional purges of the weakest members of society.” In the early 1900s, instruction about eugenic philosophy and methods were woven into the curriculum of over 40 prominent colleges including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Berkeley, and Stanford.

The elites also collaborated internationally to infiltrate all of western society with eugenic principles, drawing scientists from around the world to Dresden, Germany in 1911 for the first “International Hygiene Exhibition.” The 1912 “International Eugenics Congress” there was attended by over 300 scientists. In 1914, at a “National Conference on Race Betterment” in Michigan, Galton acolyte Harry Laughlin expounded the elites’ “principles,” stressing that “purifying the breeding stock of the race at all costs is the slogan of eugenics” Specifically, he pushed for sterilization of the “unfit” and legal restraints on marriage – policies which eventually became law in many US states. (Some believe the sterilization agenda continues today through the use of vaccines.)

Rockefeller was fully on board with this agenda, creating his own “Bureau of Social Hygiene” (BSH) in 1911 to fund research and influence public policy. RI’s own website states “Although the BSH received contributions from a number of organizations…[it] was largely dependent upon the patronage of John D. Rockefeller…who created the organization to address many of his own personal concerns and interests.”

Pre-WWI eugenicists in the US were very concerned about massive waves of “lower-class” immigrants then flooding the major cities of the east coast elites – around a million people per year in the decade preceding the war. Unlike today’s criminal class of illegal border crossers, these were legal immigrants, but they were viewed by the eugenicists as social undesirables. Indeed, even the general population in the US was starting to turn against such massive numbers of immigrants, and, worst of all, long-debunked Malthusian overpopulation arguments were increasingly being repeated across the nation, generating greater support for abortion and sterilization.

When WWI broke out in 1914, first and second generation immigrants made up over 40% of recruits, while the majority of the remainder were also from “lower class” families. It could not have escaped the attention of Rockefeller and his cronies that this provided a golden opportunity to efficiently “cull the herd” of its “least valuable” members without having to justify their actions to the public, since the disease would be presumed of natural cause.

When Rockefeller’s lab-created “Spanish Flu” had fully run its course, the population of the world had indeed been culled, with the vast majority of the victims being precisely the people the elites wanted fewer of. Was it just an accidental coincidence? Perhaps. But perhaps not.

In weighing the evidence to form your own conclusion it might help to know that the Rockefeller family and Institute went on to heavily fund the German eugenics movement. I’ll close this essay with a quote from “The Horrifying American Roots of Nazi Eugenics:”

“By 1926, Rockefeller had donated some $410,000 — almost $4 million in 21st-Century money — to hundreds of German researchers…[including] $250,000 to the German Psychiatric Institute of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute… [where] Ernst Rüdin…became director and eventually an architect of Hitler’s systematic medical repression…[In 1929] A grant of $317,000 funded … Hitler’s medical henchman Ernst Rüdin …[who] became a prime director and recipient of the murderous experimentation and research conducted on Jews, Gypsies and others. Beginning in 1940, thousands of Germans taken from old age homes, mental institutions and other custodial facilities were systematically gassed. Between 50,000 and 100,000 were eventually killed.”

To be clear, the Rockefeller Institute had largely ceased eugenics funding in Germany by the outbreak of WWII in 1939, but by then the eugenics machinery of the Third Reich was fully operational and self-sustaining, thanks in significant part to the Rockefellers.

Dr. Lively follows up his earlier video “Scott Lively on Orchestrated Pandemics.” In this sequel he responds to a viewer who asks why the globalists would deliberately orchestrate the Coronavirus Pandemic when it does such harm to their own interests. He offers the analogy of chemotherapy, explaining that a cancer patient submits to chemotherapy — which is essentially self-poisoning — knowing it will harm him, but expecting that the poison will kill the cancer before it kills the patient. After the cancer is dead, the weakened but still living patient can be restored to health.

Dr. Lively contends that the global elites perceive Donald Trump and the nationalist movement he represents as a cancer that will kill their dreams of a global socialist order. Other methods to try and get rid of Trump have all failed, so they are forced to resort to the more extreme method of political and economic chemotherapy in the hope that they can kill the Trump economy and administration while surviving the same poison.

He also brings China into the analysis, suggesting that China has a special interest in bringing down Trump after having lost their trade war with him, explaining their willingness to be ground zero of the pandemic. Dr. Lively reminds the viewers that China only became an economic superpower because the Clintons sold out America to reap benefits for themselves, overseeing the wholesale migration of US manufacturing to China, which incidentally vastly enriched Walmart Corporation where Hillary had served on the board from 1986-1992.

Dr. Lively also suggests that the Clintons took their own chemotherapy in the form of the Monica Lewinsky scandal when Bill Clinton was rumored to be under investigation for treason (for selling US military secrets to China), knowing that a sex scandal, while painful, was far more survivable than a possible indictment for treason.

Dr. Lively follows his criticism of “Defeated C3 Churches” with a pro-active solution: the establishment of his own post-denominational, Bible-governed, culturally conservative, politically-active non-C3 church. In this video he simply declares the church into existence in his capacity as a Christian pastor and constitutional law attorney, expressly rejecting the notion that registration with the government is legally required.

He also issues an invitation to Christian believers in the vicinity of Olive Branch, Mississippi to join him in the development of the church as a model that can be followed by other congregations. Anyone, anywhere who is interested in supporting this effort is invited to contact Dr. Lively at scottlivelyministries@gmail.com and to donate toward this cause at ScottLively.net.

The new church is named First Century Bible Church in reference to its emphasis first on the model and doctrinal perspectives of the Jerusalem-based first century church, and secondly on the first century of the United States of America, when the culture, law and politics was dominated by the church and the entire society acknowledged that the nation was founded on the Bible.

Dr. Lively explains how the American church went from being the most powerful cultural and political force in the nation to its current largely neutered condition and debunks the widely held belief that the government has the power to require churches to submit to registration and regulation under IRS Code 501(c)(3). He details the history of the transition and the role of Marxist political strategists in the process.

Dr. Lively produces his first video using the picture-in-picture feature in a commentary on Senator Chuck Schumer’s threat to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, reminding the viewers of the highly suspicious circumstances under which Gorsuch’s predecessor Justice Antonin Scalia died. Dr. Lively suggests Schumer’s threat was directed mostly at “swing vote” Justice John Roberts, and links Schumer’s comments to a 2012 New York Times article by 40-year veteran SCOTUS reporter and extreme left wing ideologue Linda Greenhouse. The article in question, titled, “Reaping the Whirlwind” was a cryptic shot at John Roberts. After retirement, Greenhouse admitted to being a long-time Planned Parenthood donor. Significantly, Schumer issued his threats on the steps of the Supreme Court during a pro-abortion rally.

American and Russian Conservatives Would be Best Friends and Partners Against Globalism if not for Non-Stop Anti-Russian Propaganda by the Leftist and Neocon Media.

Dr. Lively talks about the very positive implications of the BBC’s negative coverage of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to honor God and protect marriage in the new Russian Constitution. Ironically, the BBC accusation that Putin is pandering to the Russian people by making this proposal confirms that this is exactly what the people want!

Dr. Lively offers his own first hand observations of the moral conservatism of the Russians in his three trips to Russia and discusses the importance of Russia’s firm rejection of Marxism and re-embrace of the Orthodox Church as the primary cultural influence in the post-Soviet Russian Federation, while the United States has trended in the opposite direction as evidence by the Socialist/Communist showdown in the unfolding Democratic Primary.

The Diseases are real. But the Narratives about them are Weaponized to Create Panic, in this case to Take Down the Trump Economy.

As the Fearmongers Spread Fear — We Christians Should be Walking Examples of the Biblical Admonition to FEAR NOT!

If WWIII – the War of Nationalist Revolution Against Globalism – can be said to have been triggered by a single hyper-polarizing event, that event was the election of the Marxist Barack Obama in 2008.

Now, some might argue that the trigger was some earlier event during the period when the Bush Dynasty faction of the Bush/Clinton tag team was employing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke (the preeminent expert on the “Great Depression”) to intentionally orchestrate the “Great Recession” through the 2007-2008 banking crisis and bailout, preparing the way for Clinton team-member Obama to “fundamentally transform the United States,”

However, it was the 2008 election that got the entire American electorate “dirty in the deal” by polarizing us on the question of whether an overt Marxist should lead the country. The election result was, of course, a forgone conclusion, since the Republican establishment ran the sure-loser “maverick” John McCain against him. One could even go so far as to say McCain and then Ken-doll Mitt Romney were the “Bob Doles” of 2008 and 2012, respectively.

Barack Obama’s immediate and extreme policy blitzkrieg was the last straw for constitutionally minded Americans and on February 19th, 2009, Rick Santelli delivered his “rant heard round the world” from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, sparking the revolution that became known as the Tea Party movement.

Consumed as they always are with their Marxist fantasies of creating a universally beloved global socialist utopia, the elites were stunned at the ferocity of anti-Marxist passion in the Tea Party movement and suddenly recognized a real threat to their power and plans. They were especially panicked that the movement had called for a national day of mobilization on April 15, 2009. Those “tax-day” protests drew around a half million people in more than 200 cities (but would have been truly huge if the media had not spiked the story).

How does every totalitarian system respond to populist threats? They activate the machinery of their police state, but at least in the early stages they do so in a manner that they can justify to the majority of the population who aren’t necessarily “woke” to the political realities. That’s where the tactic of staging a “public health emergency” comes in. Think “Anthrax scare” in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind – or was that a “nerve gas scare?” Doesn’t matter, they’re interchangeable, because the main purpose of the scare is to serve as the centerpiece of a propaganda narrative that can create both social panic and justify martial law (if necessary). And of course, “martial law” can also take various forms under various names.

That brings me to the H1N1 Global Flu Pandemic of 2009, aka the “Swine Flu Panic.” Here is the introductory statement on the official CDC timeline: “In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus emerged, causing the first global flu pandemic in 40 years.” This announcement, as intended, triggered mass hysteria.

What is the first incident on the Swine Flu timeline?

“April 15. First human infection with new influenza A H1N1 virus detected in California.”

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Jump to the present. When did we first hear about a possible coronavirus pandemic? Here’s the first item on the timeline of a major medical news site:

“31 DEC: First cases detected. China has alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) of several flu-like cases in Wuhan, the capital of Central China’s Hubei province with 11 million population. Patients have been quarantined and health authorities commenced work on tracing the source of the flu.”

What was happening politically that day in the nationalist revolution against globalism? The sham impeachment of President Trump in the House of Representatives was at an end and had clearly failed. The globalists would require a a fall-back strategy.

When was coronavirus declared a world health emergency? Quoting the timeline again:

‘31 JAN: Death toll hits 213; WHO declares global emergency…WHO emergency committee has declared the outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern.”

What was happening that day in the nationalist/globalist power struggle?

January 31st was the day Brexit was finally implemented in the UK and the US Senate declared that Donald Trump would be acquitted in the impeachment scam.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

In 2009, martial law measures were proved unnecessary because the elites were successful with the dual strategy of distracting the Tea Party with an adversary at the street level – Occupy Wall Street – (taking their focus off the elites), while simultaneously absorbing the movement into the GOP where it could be incrementally dissolved and diffused. So the H1N1 Swine Flu propaganda and panic campaign was allowed to fade away.

In 2020, the goal is take down the Trump economy, and I don’t think they have a better back-up plan for accomplishing that, so…hold onto your hats. Though, as I have said, President Trump will likely outmaneuver them yet again, but not before they do some serious damage.

SCOTT PREDICTS THE POLITICAL EXPLOITATION OF CORONAVIRUS ON JANUARY 31

SCOTT CHARACTERIZES PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RESPONSE AS AN ANTI-FEAR-MONGERING COUNTER-NARRATIVE ON FEB 26

ELITES THEN COUNTER-PUNCH WITH THIS THEME…

So, to summarize, this is a propaganda war in which the elites are using a legitimate health crisis to manipulate the public, discredit Trump, and tank the economy through fear-mongering. Our job as remnant Christians is to not join the stampede and instead be examples of reassurance and stability. Our Scriptural mantra should be “FEAR NOT !”

I’m been about as strong a Trump supporter as you can find. From the point in mid-2016 that I concluded he was being steadily transformed by God into a genuine Christian conservative, I’ve been a stalwart Trump defender and apologist even when others wavered. When I ran for governor of Massachusetts against Romney protégé and uber-RINO Charlie Baker, my campaign slogan was “Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Trump.” Again, this was in Massachusetts! My repertoire of articles on WND is heavily salted with Trump-lauding columns, and on countless radio interviews I’ve consistently asserted that I believe Donald Trump is God’s man in the White House – adding the caveat that he is NOT in the mold of modern evangelicalism which expects its candidates to be morally pure as the driven snow (which is why we have so few in office) but more like an Old Testament Judge from the pre-monarchic Israelite republic (every one a flawed man).

So, I can overlook the warts and wrinkles of a man being a real man and not a cardboard cut-out from the public relations department. In fact, it’s very refreshing to see a real man fight the culture war like the real war it is.

HOWEVER, the one issue that calls everything else into question, is President Trump’s apparent spiritual blindness on the question of homosexuality. Now I’ve mostly given him a pass on this issue over the past three years, rationalizing that he’s just being politically savvy in a dangerous area of public policy that is (not accidentally) extremely emotionally inflammatory to the youngest generations of public school graduates and the most passionate of the street activists of the left. He’s also been working diligently to peel away voters from all the constituencies of the Democrat Party, including the “gays,” and I’m actually glad to see that many self-identified homosexuals are now pro-Trump.

My argument is not that he is being politically strategic, but that he is doing it in a way that unnecessarily serves the very Marxist agenda that he’s trying to defeat.

President Trump could easily maneuver the LGBT minefield without endorsing homosexuality itself. But he is purposefully approving it. On Jan 21st , in the build-up to his upcoming rally in India, he praised “Bollywood,” its film industry, for releasing its first movie promoting homosexuality. What is the message to the world when the President of the United States – a self-proclaimed Christian – applauds a morally conservative nation for abandoning its principles to celebrate homosexuality? What kind of mentality justifies the normalization of homosexuality to an entire nation’s children as a political tactic? I feel nauseous just thinking about it.

Is this a partial payoff to openly homosexual Richard Grenell for his willingness to be the president’s hatchet-man in the house-cleaning of the intelligence agencies? If so, it’s a devil’s bargain he never should have entered into. It would unfortunately fit his pattern with Grenell. Last year when Grenell announced a campaign to decriminalize homosexuality globally (a top Obama priority), I assumed this was a stunt by the notorious climber Grenell to put Trump into a corner on LGBT issues and ensure the renewal of his plum diplomatic post as Ambassador to Germany. So I gave Trump a pass when he did endorse the Grenell plan – but I offered the president an alternative approach that would not serve the Obama Marxist agenda that Grenell was pushing.

Of course, President Trump probably never saw my article, but he shouldn’t have had to, since my arguments should have been no-brainer, intuitive deductions by anyone with a genuine Biblical worldview in the Trump inner circle. A simple policy pivot from an emphasis on decriminalization to an emphasis on ending violence against homosexuals would have sent just as powerful a message without endorsing the regressive leftist view that discouragement of sodomy through public policy is a bad thing. Discouraging the public health and morals menace of sodomy through law was an unassailable conservative policy position less than a quarter century ago in our country! Now we’re supposed to flip 180 degrees and embrace Obama doctrine instead??

This brings me to Vice President Pence, and a worry I’ve had about him from the beginning. It was five years ago next month that Indiana Governor Mike Pence caved to the “gays” when the Indiana legislature passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to, among other things, protect businesses from attack by LGBT activists and preserve free speech rights for Christians. Governor Pence, who had been ready to sign it into law backed down, requiring the act to be amended. I don’t remember the details, but I remember it was a big victory for the homosexuals that I wrote about in an article titled Indiana Meets the Borg. I went easy on Pence in the article, but I’ve never really trusted him on LGBT issues since.

As the highest ranking Christian in the Trump administration, Mike Pence should be educating President Trump on the critical importance of this issue and even publicly dissenting (in some respectful way) on the “Bollywood” incident, which I consider a moral scandal far more serious than any alleged personal behavioral failings by the president.

Every Christian sins in matters of personal conduct, and we have a remedy from God for that called confession and repentance. In contrast, taking public policy positions that directly contradict the clear instructions of God is a spiritual problem of a much higher magnitude. Every Christian leader with access to the president and an opportunity to do so has a duty to speak that truth to him.

His endorsement of homosexuality even raises the question of whether Donald Trump is actually saved. There are lots of “religious leftists” running around saying they’re Christians based on belief in a non-Biblical Jesus who condones and even approves what the Bible condemns. I argue that one can’t be saved by belief in a false Christ. Which Jesus does the president put his faith in?

My first allegiance is always to God and when the president sets himself at odds with God, I have no choice but stand with God and apart from the president. Not everyone who calls themself a Christian is as committed to the Biblical worldview as I am, but there are enough of us that the president should be very concerned of the consequences of the path he’s taking.
