Pluralism: Two Trains On One Track
Scripture
When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
~Psalm 11:3, NIV
Quote
Cultural assimilation is safe, convenient and can be prosperous, but it is still a form of flight {fleeing our Christian responsibilities}.
~Henry Wilson
We live at a time when the foundations are being destroyed. This is not imaginary. The secular humanist/Marxis are attempting to destroy everything relating to our Judeo-Christian roots. This is not happenstance: this is apart of a conspiracy. These postmodernist believe in relativism; that no truth is absolute and that each individual has the right to determine what is right or wrong for them. They reject a common set of values or principles that govern human affairs. It is their belief that these common values are being imposed on all minorities by a larger community, namely Christians. You read it right: they see Christians as the enemy. In their thinking, anything goes except intolerance. Tolerance is the only absolute in their arsenal. The only sin is to call sin a sin. They will not tolerate such hate speech. It is OK to say that you wish Trumps heart would explode in his chest, that is not hate, but if you say that abortion is murder, that is hate speech.
What are we Christians going to do? Fold the tent and give up? Not I! It is true that our founders based everything on the seven Noahide laws. In a nutshell, no idolatry, respect of human life, respect for others’ property, sexual ethics and morality, respect for God, no cruelty to animals and law order and justice. These basic laws are not Baptist, Methodist, Catholic or Jewish; they are the basic laws that govern human behavior which the antediluvian [pre-flood] world did not have. What they did was ingenious or brilliant may be a better word.
The postmodernist do not like these seven laws; they don’t even like LAW and ORDER. This brings us to our question: Can two trains run on the same track? The secular humanist keep screaming that we live in a pluralistic society. Pluralism believes that there are multiple systems that work. When we say that Christ is the only way, they go into a spasm. They believe there are many ways and one is as good as another. Two trains can run on one track if they are both going the same way or if one concedes to the other and pulls on to a side track. No they can not run in opposite directions on the same track.
How has the Christan world responded to pluralism? No good. We don’t want to call attention to ourselves or our beliefs; we had rather blend in so as not to look so contrary. We fear being different and have thus compromised our principles and basically lost our saltness. Any reference to America being a Christian nation will set them off and this includes the woke community that claims to be Christian.
