Musing – How Tyrannical, Manipulative & Destructive is the BLM Religion?

Hebraic Musing – How Tyrannical, Manipulative & Destructive is the BLM Religion?

Here are the selections from the “BLACK LIVES MATTER – a NEW RELIGIOUS CULT” article I received from a Christian friend.  Last week we identified the religious nature of the movement; now let’s understand the Tyrannical, Manipulative and Destructive impact of the BLM as a Religion.  Then next week we’ll look at How are Churches & Christians to respond to BLM?  Here are the paragraphs most contrary to the Christian Faith, modified only for spell-checking, minor format changes and underscoring:

Scriptural support:    “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ.” Galatians 1:6-7

A False Religion   (The challenge) - We are involved in a battle for hearts, minds and souls. This social justice revolution is changing the focus and content of the Gospel message. It is offering another gospel, a false gospel and a false mission, plainly derived from Liberation theology (which is nothing more than Marxism wrapped up in religious terminology), Black theology (which is also Marxism, with racism added in), along with Animism (which depersonalizes evil and sees evil in things and systems, rather than personal responsibility). None of this is Biblical Theology. Race politics is not Biblical. The problem is not skin, it is sin.  It is not race, but grace that is the solution.

BLM Supports Abortion – Not All Lives Matter to Them - Black Lives Matter do not really believe that black lives matter, because they support abortion.  Every day, an average of one thousand black babies are killed by abortion, just in the United States of America.  That is half of all black babies conceived in the United States are killed before they are born, through abortion.  Black Lives Matter went out of their way to support America’s biggest serial killer, Philadelphia’s Kermit Gosnell, whose abortuary was placed within poorer black communities.  Gosnell was convicted of infanticide, delivering live babies and killing them after birth.  If George Floyd had been killed in the womb, by abortion, before he was born, most of those protesting and rioting in his name, would have approved and applauded the use of their tax money to fund the abortion.  Nor do they seem to care about the thousands of black lives violently ended by gang violence and homicide at the hands of black criminals, which is the cause of death in the vast majority of cases.

War on the Family - The Black Lives Matter movement has declared war on the family, declaring that: “We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure…”

Privileges for Perverts - Black Lives Matter also wants to dismantle “gender privilege” and is committed to working to promote “transgenderism.”  “We are committed to fostering a queer-affirming network.  When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual, unless s/he, or they, disclose otherwise.”

UnBiblical and Anti-Christian - Black Lives Matter is blatantly pro-abortion, pro-perversion, pro-pornography, pro-gender confusion, promotes transgenderism and is hostile to the family.  BLM is unBiblical and anti-Christian to the core.  Like the hypocritical Pharisee who went up to the Temple to pray, they confess other people’s sins (real, exaggerated, or imagined), but self-righteously fail to recognize and acknowledge their own personal sins and responsibility.
Solus Christus - It is important to remember that the early Christians in the Roman Empire were not persecuted for worshipping Jesus Christ, but for refusing to worship Caesar.  They would not burn incense before an idol, or declare “Caesar is Lord!” as required.  The earliest declaration of Christians was the counter-cultural “Jesus is Lord!” (Romans 10:9).  The Bible makes it clear that our Lord Jesus Christ is “the King of kings and Lord of lords.” (Revelation 17:14).

Anarchy Prepares the Way for Tyranny - Anarchy in the streets is often only a prelude for centralized, top-down imposed tyranny.  The global Lockdown, in the name of combatting a virus, has devastated many small businesses and bankrupted many families.  The wide-spread devastating riots, looting and arson led by groups like Black Lives Matter has cost Billions of Dollars in damage and looted merchandise.  Every great revolution, from the French Revolution of 1789 to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia of 1917, was preceded by a bankrupt economy in recession.  As communist dictator, Vladimir Lenin declared: “Never underestimate the value of constructive chaos!”

Cannon Fodder Pawns for Communist Revolutionary Purposes - The vast majority of protestors, rioters, looters and arsonists may not understand the foundational role of Karl Marx.  They may not be consciously aware of how they are just cannon fodder for the communist revolution launched by Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto of 1848. Even less may have heard of Antonio Gramsci, Herbert Marcuse, or György Lukács and the Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism.  But the fact is that they are pawns in the Comintern (Communist International) strategy of destroying from within the cultural institutions of Western Christian civilization.

Expendable Rent-A-Mobs in a Radical Revolutionary Agenda - Few may understand how much the secular humanist agenda of state school activist John Dewey has molded and indoctrinated them to be receptive to the propaganda of BLM and Antifa, who are using them as expendable rent a mob in a radical Revolutionary agenda to undermine Christian civilization and remake it in a Marxist mold.  The fact is: most of the protestors and rioters are being manipulated by people who have lied to them in order to use them.

Stockholm Syndrome, Guilt Manipulation and Gaslighting - Few of the protestors, rioters, rock throwers, arsonists, looters, polluters, vandals, gangsters and cultural terrorists involved in the devastating riots and looting sprees of the last week, would understand the role that Stockholm Syndrome and guilt manipulation have played in mobilizing them to destroy their heritage that was so painstakingly built up by the sacrifices of their ancestors.  Most would not even understand the term ‘gas-lighted’, but they have certainly been ‘gaslighted’ and are being manipulated in a psychological warfare “psyops” Indoctrination and Intimidation Campaign that has them destroying their own communities, countries and future.

Targeting Fathers and Families - BLM and Antifa are involved in a war against Christian civilization.  In this war, they are targeting all whites and Christians, business owners and property owners, but in particular, they are targeting families and Fathers.  Straight, white men, who make up the backbone of many families are their hated target.  But they hate Black Christian conservatives and fathers even more.

Derailing Churches from Their Duty
The Black Lives Matter narrative has succeeded in derailing many local churches from the Gospel message and from the fulfilment of the Great Commission, into advancing communist revolutionary agenda, undermining the integrity of the Church. 
Hate Week - Anyone who has read George Orwell’s 1984 novel will recognize that what we have just witnessed is a “hate week” to focus anger and frustration away from those who are really destroying our finances and futures.  On the streets, we are witnessing the results of psychological warfare, which for years has been confusing, corrupting, dividing and conquering.

Who Determines What is Right or Essential?
Abortion clinics can be open!  Apparently, they are “an essential service”.  Liquor stores can be open, they are apparently “essential.”  However, most churches and most of the activities of church are considered “non-essential”!  You could be arrested for attending church in some states and yet no prosecution is planned for most of those who looted and burned down thousands of stores!

Socialism is Legalized Theft - The Bible is clear: “Do not steal… Do not covet…”  Socialism is legalized theft and institutionalized envy.  Socialism is the creed of failure and the gospel of envy.  It promises heaven and always, invariably, delivers hell on earth.  As seen in communist nations, which needed to build Iron Curtains to keep their people in and shot their own citizens in the back for trying to flee from their “workers’ paradise.”  Socialism promotes extortionist economics to tax the productive and subsidize the welfare junkies, pimps, rock throwers, gangsters, thugs, parasites, destroyers, polluters, vandals and cultural terrorists, who are dedicated to pulling down and destroying everything which generations of Christians have built up with much sacrifice.

How Can One Fight Racism by Promoting BLM Racism? - Yet, the moment you refuse to echo the mantra of BLM, “Black Lives Matter,” or if you respond, “All Lives Matter,” you will be accused of being “racist!”  Interesting, that refusing to repeat a racist statement can open you up to the accusation of being racist!  It turns out that the worst racists are those screaming “racist!” the loudest.  How can one fight racism by promoting racism?

The BLM Inquisition:  People who have tagged me in their Black Lives Matter posts and required my response were plainly angered by my comments, such as: “In the sight of God, all lives matter.”  Some of their responses: “You don’t understand!”;  “Do some research!”;  “You are the beneficiary of white privilege!”;  “What have you ever done to help poor blacks?”

·         “You Do Not Know What it is Like to be a Minority!” - Well, in response to such accusations, including “You don’t know what it is like to be a minority!” I can point out that, Yes, I do know what it is like to be a minority. I was born in Africa and have lived in Africa for the last 60 years, over 40 of those years in Missions. Most of my missionary work has been serving Black Christians in some of the most dangerous, difficult and inaccessible Restricted Access Areas throughout Africa, where Christians are suffering severe persecution for their Faith. I know what it is like to be hated, arrested, abused and imprisoned unjustly for my race.

·         “Do Some Research” - Actually, I have done some research. I have written the books: Holocaust in Rwanda; In the Killing Fields of Mozambique; Faith Under Fire in Sudan; and Slavery, Terrorism and Islam – The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

·         “What Have You Done to Help Black People?” - What have I done to help black people in Africa? Well, for over 40 years, I have been dedicated to missionary work, evangelism, discipleship and practical help, primarily to black Christians throughout Africa. During this time, I have helped establish and equip over 100 schools, several clinics and hospitals, delivered tons of medicines, an ambulance to Christians in South Sudan, provided wells and water pumps to Christians under fire in Sudan, conducted thousands of services and hundreds of seminars and training courses throughout Africa, training pastors, teachers, evangelists, chaplains and medics and delivered hundreds of thousands of Bibles and books to some of the most needy and neglected Christians suffering in Africa.  I worked steadfastly for the freedom and independence of South Sudan, Mozambique, Angola and Zimbabwe, despite arrests, imprisonments, abuse, torture, ambushes, aerial and artillery bombardments.

·         “You Are the Beneficiary of White Privilege!” - In my experience, my “white privilege” included being caned at school, conscripted into the Army, put in harm’s way, required to pay exorbitant taxes for other people’s benefit and working my way through college.  Even under apartheid, in South Africa, in the early 1980’s, I was “too male and too pale” for a scholarship and had to work in the Fire Brigade, eight hours a night, six days a week, to put myself through Theological Seminary, while Black and Colored students received bursaries and financial assistance.  Not that I complained about any of that, but to rewrite history and deny reality is neither honest, nor just.

Black Privilege and The Race Card - From my observation, the “previously disadvantaged” always had the advantage of mostly free, or subsidized, housing, free medical, free schooling, (BBBEE) Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Affirmative Action and preferential treatment for jobs, scholarships and assistance. Other “black privileges” that we notice are those who play the race card enjoy being able to loot, riot, steal, embezzle and defraud tax payers of billions and still stay in position and power.

Points to ponder   or   RSVP

Are we at war?   How many battles are we losing, or have lost?

How many churches, or Christians, have stopped fighting?

How many churches have been derailed?

To whom else does this need to be shared?
