Lightness of being#46 Color matters ( 28 June 2014)

Dear...

This Saturday morning, it's about pink or white. Pink you take a walk to Hong Lim Park to show your support for the proponents of alternative lifestyle, white you wear on your person to make a stand for the traditional family nuclei.

Color is a powerful symbolic differentiator.

 The Thais have their red vs yellow grouping depending upon political affiliation. Apartheid South Africa had its clear black and white race demarcation, though they did grant the then economically vibrant yellow Japanese honorary white status. The self righteous Americans had its clear color code( even in public transport) up to the civil rights movement of Martin Luther King, who amongst others fought for the discriminated blacks. And Australia was a Whites only country as far as immigration was concerned not too many years ago. And just to round off, the Christian Crusaders in their desire to stand up for their misguided stand for Christendom, were no less if not more cruel in their campaigns to wipe out the green hordes in the Middle East.

In truth, man being imperfect, we are all shades of grey!!

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
 male and female he created them.
           Genesis 1:27

I know the omnipresent God. Who am I to question His right to only create two categories of the human race. But in the "liberal" West, it is increasingly at great personal risk to adhere to this God ordained view. Quite a paradox that Western society ostensibly prided themselves on individuality, yet increasingly institutionalize recrimination against anyone who even dares to hold a view different from that of the same sex proponents(see article on ex Mozilla boss), which are in truth, just one segment albeit an overtly aggressive and organized segment of a pluralistic society.

The term "discrimination," has now been equated to "not agreeing," and is being steadily morphed by its vocal and determined proponents to "not in support of."
Corporate America is on the forefront of discriminating( on the pretext of equal rights ) against anyone who holds a different perspective on what is a lifestyle that is different from their personal belief system.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
              Ephesians 4:32

As a Christian, I cannot displease God, just to please man. But not agreeing does not mean I cannot show agape love to a fellow child(regardless of sexual orientation)  of God.
We can pray for a realignment of their hearts, but more importantly, we must let God transform us, to let the truth of God's love be lived out upon our lives.
It's not how they live, but how we live out our faith.

Is not giving in to the tantrums of a child an act of child abuse? Every child needs loving discipline as part of his or her molding process.
But again, the very same liberals have removed the cane that is needed to correct a wayward child, yet happily letting gun toting youths run rampage terrorizing the community.

Is putting a serial molester in prison an impingement of his or her claimed inborn natural propensity to sodomise innocent victims? It was clearly not in the old value system of traditional society, but it is if one was to draw from the line of arguments of the LGBT proponents.

Or on seemingly mundane issues of unisex toilets in King's College London, simply because the sexually undecided feels that they are entitled to use both.
Truth is, what about those of us who are not inclined to share facilities with the opposite sex, not just for decorum but practical hygiene issues which places the fairer sex at a disadvantage?

and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
             2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

A lie becomes a truth when its proponent relentlessly propagate it. Today, the silent or rather self focussed majority is allowing themselves to be increasingly entrapped by the very determined and organized proponents of not just an alternative lifestyle, but an alternative world. A world that is more in line with that envisaged by the androgynous fallen angel, the devil.

Is this a fair statement? It is a personal view. Do  I have to seek asylum in Russia to be able to express these personal thoughts to ensure that I do not get lynched by the marauding packs of same sex vigilantes?

Life is a paradox. In the supposedly liberal West, where free speech and individual rights are sacrosanct, it is increasingly obvious that this applies only to the once discriminated closet inhabitants. Like this famous quote from George Orwell's Animal Farm,

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Indeed, the world is increasingly turning into a real jungle as the end of times intensifies. Should we be like the contentious denizens as many are apt to or should we not be as God commands all who love Him to speak the truth in all boldness but always with love.
Colors will no longer cloud our hearts nor that of our detractors when the light of Christ illuminates in all clarity through us the willing and purified lamp.

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
           Ephesians 4:25

The Apostle Stephen was stoned to death, and so were many of his fellow Apostles subjected to the wrath of the godless mobs. The days are upon us again when the same anti Christs are rising. The difference was that it used to be in the godless Communist regimes post World War 2. Today, it is in the supposedly free world of the West.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
               Romans 1:24

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
                Romans 1:26-27

God blesses

An afterthought - The world according to Google

Does the share price of Google justifies its stratospheric levels?
Yes if one were to measure it by the increasing dominance Google has upon cyberspace, and the wider world. The latter being an increasing reality as real life and virtual life are intertwined in a manner that makes the co enjoined Siamese twin Eng and Chang look like two distinct entity.

Google wants to make all our life easy. There is a deliberate shift of the eco system to the cloud, where in lieu of our surrendering personal control over our personal database, Big Brother Google will take care of the bolts and nuts. Big Brother will know and be able to control all your personal data.

Is it right and sensible to entrust everything to Google or for that matter, other competing Mother Ships like Amazon and Microsoft?

The American tech giants are not just killing off smaller potential competitors by buying them up, but are at the forefront of pushing their belief system, which is very much a worldly approach in the guise of equal rights.

Welcome to the new 'Church of Mammon.'
