The Left, of course, knows—and cares—nothing about true New Testament Christianity. They hate Christianity because the religion condemns the promiscuous, licentious, godless lifestyles they crave to live. It’s not surprising. The world hated Jesus and killed Him (John 7:7), and it wasn’t because He preached love. Well, yes, it was, but the kind of love He preached—“Love God with all your being,” but especially, “go and sin no more”—a love whose first order is to be submissive to God isn’t the kind of “love” the Left and the world can tolerate.

We are told that the world will hate Christians, too (1 John 3:13). And it’s for the same reason they hate Christ: Christians oppose sin. It’s actually the most loving thing a person can do—to try to get people right with God so that they can escape iniquity’s current and eternal consequences, but again, when men want to sin, as most people do, then they don’t want others trying to urge them out of it, like Jesus tried (He died for the attempt). Read Mark 10:21ff for a good example of true love from Jesus’s perspective.

So, the Left tries to twist Christianity into the pretzel they want it to be and condemns true Christians when they don’t measure up to the standard the Left sets up as “true Christian love.” But they don’t fool, or convince, anybody but themselves, and the people who want to be fooled.

To the Left, giving government money, through taxpayers, to various targeted groups is the definition of “true charity,” and any Christian who would oppose it is a hypocrite and not a true Christian. But........
