00:00.000 --> 00:01.368
Trigger Warning:
00:01.434 --> 00:04.604
If you are offended by
Political Incorrectness,
00:04.671 --> 00:07.107
this telecast is not for you.
00:07.173 --> 00:09.275
When did political
correctness begin?
00:09.342 --> 00:10.643
And why do we have it?
00:10.710 --> 00:11.911
Who's behind it?
00:11.978 --> 00:14.013
And, where is
it leading us?
00:14.080 --> 00:17.150
Is it humorous,
harmless, or hurtful?
00:17.217 --> 00:19.919
And should we fall in line
with the ever-changing
00:19.986 --> 00:24.057
language landscape
referred to as P.C.?
00:24.124 --> 00:26.393
Here's another
important question:
00:26.459 --> 00:28.395
What would Jesus do?
00:28.461 --> 00:31.097
Would He be led about
by social engineers,
00:31.164 --> 00:33.600
as a bull is, with a
ring in his nose?
00:33.666 --> 00:36.836
Or would He be
politically in-correct?
00:36.903 --> 00:38.571
And how can we know?
00:38.638 --> 00:40.640
Most of us living today
have grown up with the
00:40.707 --> 00:44.244
constantly changing language
of political correctness.
00:44.310 --> 00:47.414
The term itself became
part of our vocabulary
00:47.480 --> 00:52.118
in the 1960s and '70s when
drugs, rampant sex, and
00:52.185 --> 00:56.990
Vietnam War protesters flooded American university campuses.
00:57.056 --> 00:59.058
The change in how we
expressed ourselves
00:59.125 --> 01:03.396
often appeared silly,
foolish, and laughable.
01:03.463 --> 01:05.565
But is it to
be laughed off?
01:05.632 --> 01:09.068
Stay tuned as I'll show
you what is behind P.C.
01:09.135 --> 01:12.705
and answer the question
of what Jesus would do.
01:12.772 --> 01:15.375
I'll also be offering
you a free DVD--
01:15.442 --> 01:17.744
"A Culture in Crisis."
01:17.811 --> 01:20.847
And I'll be back in five
seconds so don't go away.
01:20.914 --> 01:27.620
♪
01:27.687 --> 01:31.057
A warm welcome to all of
you from all of us here at
01:31.124 --> 01:34.327
Tomorrow's World, where today I'm addressing the subject
01:34.394 --> 01:38.031
commonly referred to as political correctness.
01:38.097 --> 01:40.099
Have you ever considered
what's behind
01:40.166 --> 01:43.403
this ever-changing
language landscape?
01:43.470 --> 01:45.138
Where did it begin?
01:45.205 --> 01:48.074
And what's the end-goal
of those promoting it?
01:48.141 --> 01:50.977
Boston University
professor emeritus
01:51.044 --> 01:53.947
Angelo Codevilla explains:
01:54.013 --> 01:56.916
"The notion of political
correctness came into use
01:56.983 --> 02:01.087
among Communists in the
1930s as a semi-humorous
02:01.154 --> 02:04.157
reminder that the Party's
interest is to be treated
02:04.224 --> 02:08.495
as a reality that ranks
above reality itself."
02:08.561 --> 02:11.498
He explains that it began
as a joke among communist
02:11.564 --> 02:13.266
party insiders--as in:
02:13.333 --> 02:17.637
"Comrade, your statement
is factually incorrect."
02:17.704 --> 02:19.038
"Yes, it is.
02:19.105 --> 02:21.808
But it is politically correct."
02:21.875 --> 02:24.544
Conservative author Bill
Lind asked an important
02:24.611 --> 02:28.314
question that too few
consider, and he sees it
02:28.381 --> 02:32.085
wholistically, as part
of a greater picture:
02:32.151 --> 02:34.487
"Where does all this stuff
that you've heard about
02:34.554 --> 02:38.625
this morning--the victim
feminism, the gay rights
02:38.691 --> 02:42.195
movement, the invented
statistics, the rewritten
02:42.262 --> 02:45.031
history, the lies, the
demands, all the rest
02:45.098 --> 02:47.634
of it--where does
it come from?"
02:47.700 --> 02:50.770
Lind then confirms P.C.'s Marxist-Leninist
02:50.837 --> 02:54.040
underpinnings and warns that there is nothing humorous
02:54.107 --> 02:56.242
about its intended goal.
02:56.309 --> 02:59.279
"The name originated
as something of a joke,
02:59.345 --> 03:02.015
literally in a comic
strip, and we tend still
03:02.081 --> 03:04.984
to think of it as
only half-serious.
03:05.051 --> 03:08.254
In fact, it's
deadly serious.
03:08.321 --> 03:11.057
It is the great disease of
our century, the disease
03:11.124 --> 03:14.894
that has left tens of millions
of people dead in Europe,
03:14.961 --> 03:19.532
in Russia, in China,
indeed around the world.
03:19.599 --> 03:22.235
It is the disease
of ideology.
03:22.302 --> 03:24.704
PC is not funny.
03:24.771 --> 03:27.840
PC is deadly serious."
03:27.907 --> 03:30.243
It's a mistake to think of Political Correctness
03:30.310 --> 03:31.978
in isolation.
03:32.045 --> 03:34.547
It's part of a greater
political movement,
03:34.614 --> 03:37.550
as indicated by
Codevilla and Lind.
03:37.617 --> 03:41.421
Many in America think in
political terms of liberal
03:41.487 --> 03:45.425
(meaning left) and conservative
(meaning right), but fail
03:45.491 --> 03:49.395
to recognize that there is
both liberal and left and
03:49.462 --> 03:51.397
these are not the same.
03:51.464 --> 03:56.102
Leftists, unlike liberals,
are socialist totalitarians.
03:56.169 --> 03:59.572
Let's call them what they
are--Marxists--and they're
03:59.639 --> 04:03.543
working to destroy America
and other western countries.
04:03.610 --> 04:06.846
It should be obvious to
anyone taking an objective
04:06.913 --> 04:10.049
view of what is taking
place around us that their
04:10.116 --> 04:14.220
goal is to tear down Western democratic nations, and make
04:14.287 --> 04:17.190
them into something very different from their roots.
04:17.256 --> 04:21.160
As self-confessed liberal
Kirsten Powers explains in
04:21.227 --> 04:24.831
The Silencing: How the Left
Is Killing Free Speech,
04:24.897 --> 04:29.502
the left is not liberal, but illiberal, sometimes referred
04:29.569 --> 04:33.706
to as progressive--and
who isn't for progress?
04:33.773 --> 04:35.375
Powers writes:
04:35.441 --> 04:38.911
On campuses there are
speech codes, so-called
04:38.978 --> 04:41.314
"free speech zones,"
and a host of
04:41.381 --> 04:44.851
"anti-discrimination"
policies that discriminate
04:44.917 --> 04:48.254
against people who dissent
from lefty groupthink.
04:48.321 --> 04:51.290
Christian and conservative
groups have been denied
04:51.357 --> 04:54.227
official university status
by student government
04:54.293 --> 04:57.930
organizations for holding
views not in line with
04:57.997 --> 04:59.499
the liberal dogma.
04:59.565 --> 05:01.968
The illiberal left's
attempts to control
05:02.035 --> 05:04.570
the public debate are
frequently buttressed
05:04.637 --> 05:07.807
by a parade of
childish grievances.
05:07.874 --> 05:11.878
They portray life's vagaries
as violations of their
05:11.944 --> 05:15.214
basic human rights and
demand the world stop
05:15.281 --> 05:18.484
traumatizing them with
facts and ideological
05:18.551 --> 05:21.788
views that challenge
their belief system.
05:21.854 --> 05:25.124
They insist colleges provide
"trigger warnings" on syllabi
05:25.191 --> 05:27.593
to prevent them from
stumbling upon a piece
05:27.660 --> 05:30.863
of literature that might
deal with controversial
05:30.930 --> 05:34.667
or difficult issues that
could upset them.
05:34.734 --> 05:38.337
The illiberal left yearns
for a world sanitized
05:38.404 --> 05:41.307
of information that
offends them.
05:41.374 --> 05:45.678
The goal of the illiberal left is to tear down and destroy.
05:45.745 --> 05:49.348
P.C. is merely one tool in
a broader campaign that
05:49.415 --> 05:52.251
involves denigrating
authority, destroying
05:52.318 --> 05:55.855
the nuclear family, and
controlling speech,
05:55.922 --> 05:58.991
behavior, and yes,
even thought.
05:59.058 --> 06:02.295
While Tomorrow's World is
not political, we can
06:02.361 --> 06:05.098
call out and expose the
ultimate object of their
06:05.164 --> 06:06.999
campaign of destruction.
06:07.066 --> 06:09.535
They seek a world
without God.
06:09.602 --> 06:11.871
They wish to forever
remove the moral
06:11.938 --> 06:14.741
underpinnings of an
orderly world that
06:14.807 --> 06:16.476
are found in the Bible.
06:16.542 --> 06:18.745
The Bible is God's
instruction book,
06:18.811 --> 06:21.814
a manual for mankind
to know how to live.
06:21.881 --> 06:26.819
Lind minced no words when he explained nearly 24 years ago:
06:26.886 --> 06:31.057
"Political Correctness
is cultural Marxism.
06:31.124 --> 06:35.928
It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms....
06:35.995 --> 06:39.899
The totalitarian nature of
Political Correctness is
06:39.966 --> 06:43.903
revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses...
06:43.970 --> 06:47.774
where the student or faculty member who dares to cross any
06:47.840 --> 06:51.043
of the lines set up by the gender feminist or the
06:51.110 --> 06:54.781
homosexual-rights activists,
or the local black or
06:54.847 --> 06:59.318
Hispanic group, or any of the other sainted 'victims' groups
06:59.385 --> 07:02.889
that PC revolves around,
quickly find themselves
07:02.955 --> 07:04.724
in judicial trouble....
07:04.791 --> 07:07.827
That is a little look into
the future that Political
07:07.894 --> 07:11.464
Correctness intends for the nation as a whole."
07:11.531 --> 07:12.732
Look around you.
07:12.799 --> 07:18.070
Was he not correct when he wrote
those words nearly 24 years ago?
07:18.137 --> 07:21.040
We often think of what is
happening in our world as
07:21.107 --> 07:22.675
a culture war.
07:22.742 --> 07:26.112
And what we see today is a
culture in crisis and that
07:26.179 --> 07:28.981
is why we're offering
a free DVD titled--
07:29.048 --> 07:31.551
"A Culture in Crisis."
07:31.617 --> 07:35.288
This resource combines three Tomorrow's World telecasts
07:35.354 --> 07:38.791
that explain the moral
decline, and its causes,
07:38.858 --> 07:40.626
in Western civilization.
07:40.693 --> 07:45.097
The first of three programs
is: "A Brazen New World"
07:45.164 --> 07:48.267
This program addresses
political correctness, the
07:48.334 --> 07:53.105
LGBTQ+ movement, and how
these corrupt ideas have
07:53.172 --> 07:56.075
infiltrated our schools.
07:56.142 --> 07:57.710
"Tiny Fingers and Toes"
07:57.777 --> 08:00.613
Discusses the abortion
issue in a sensitive
08:00.680 --> 08:05.351
manner but how it has been fraudulently promoted, and,
08:05.418 --> 08:06.986
"What Happened to God"
08:07.053 --> 08:10.690
explores a world that has
forgotten its Creator.
08:10.756 --> 08:13.526
These programs that many
of you have never seen
08:13.593 --> 08:17.730
are as true today as they were when they were first recorded.
08:17.797 --> 08:22.869
You need this specially prepared DVD, "A Culture in Crisis,"
08:22.935 --> 08:24.537
so order it today.
08:24.604 --> 08:27.940
And when I come back after
this short break, we'll
08:28.007 --> 08:30.476
explore how Political Correctness has gone
08:30.543 --> 08:34.013
beyond academia and entered
the corporate world,
08:34.080 --> 08:37.817
which has implications

09:38.277 --> 09:39.912
Welcome back.
09:39.979 --> 09:42.815
Today I'm addressing the
subject of Political
09:42.882 --> 09:46.185
Correctness, but this
subject is only one tool
09:46.252 --> 09:49.221
in a greater movement undermining the foundations
09:49.288 --> 09:53.092
of western civilization,
and that movement seeks to
09:53.159 --> 09:56.495
remove God and His Word
from our world forever.
09:56.562 --> 09:59.065
Consider where
we are today.
09:59.131 --> 10:02.068
As explained in the first
portion of this program,
10:02.134 --> 10:06.906
what we see is nothing less than Marxist totalitarian dogma.
10:06.973 --> 10:10.910
And it's no longer confined
to university campuses.
10:10.977 --> 10:14.180
It has crept into education
at all levels, including the
10:14.246 --> 10:17.316
earliest introduction to children's education.
10:17.383 --> 10:20.252
It's everywhere, from the
military, to media,
10:20.319 --> 10:22.588
to business--large
and small.
10:22.655 --> 10:25.491
It's expected
and enforced.
10:25.558 --> 10:30.196
Corporate America (and this is not confined to America alone)
10:30.262 --> 10:33.466
in too many cases is now requiring employees to
10:33.532 --> 10:36.802
declare their preferred
pronouns below their names.
10:36.869 --> 10:40.072
Even if it is simply:
Mr., he, and him,
10:40.139 --> 10:43.442
Or, Mrs., she, and her.
10:43.509 --> 10:46.312
To not do so is to
put one's job at risk.
10:46.379 --> 10:48.614
And that's where we are today.
10:48.681 --> 10:51.250
Who would have thought we
would see such things,
10:51.317 --> 10:53.953
even as recently
as ten years ago?
10:54.020 --> 10:57.490
Political Correctness is
often viewed by sincere and
10:57.556 --> 11:00.159
naïve people as an attempt
to be compassionate
11:00.226 --> 11:03.429
and non-offensive to an
ever-growing list of
11:03.496 --> 11:06.465
individuals placed in
protected categories.
11:06.532 --> 11:09.602
According to one website,
some examples of which
11:09.668 --> 11:11.570
I'll refer to in
this program--
11:11.637 --> 11:15.441
"The politically correct
euphemisms help us to avoid
11:15.508 --> 11:18.744
discriminating against other people on the grounds of:
11:18.811 --> 11:25.618
age, appearance, gender,
health, personality, race,
11:25.684 --> 11:31.924
relationship status, religion, social status, and work."
11:31.991 --> 11:35.428
Now here are a few of the examples listed by this source:
11:35.494 --> 11:39.765
Instead of saying Able-
bodied say Non-disabled.
11:39.832 --> 11:43.402
Instead of Dead say
Terminally unavailable.
11:43.469 --> 11:46.372
Instead of Deaf use
Hearing impaired.
11:46.439 --> 11:49.475
Instead of Blind
use Sight impaired.
11:49.542 --> 11:54.013
And instead of Elderly or old
people say Senior citizens.
11:54.080 --> 11:57.016
And here's my favorite when
it comes to foolishness:
11:57.083 --> 12:01.353
Instead of Bald say
Follically challenged.
12:01.420 --> 12:04.890
Individually, and superficially, some of these language
12:04.957 --> 12:08.160
modifications may appear harmless or humorous--
12:08.227 --> 12:09.862
even compassionate.
12:09.929 --> 12:13.232
But referring to someone
as "follically challenged"
12:13.299 --> 12:15.734
is nothing short
of silliness.
12:15.801 --> 12:19.171
At the same time, as brought
out by Kirsten Powers,
12:19.238 --> 12:22.708
young people are being indoctrinated into the idea
12:22.775 --> 12:26.312
that they should be offended
by any perceived slight.
12:26.378 --> 12:31.617
The term used to describe these offenses is micro aggressions.
12:31.684 --> 12:34.420
One must wonder what the
future holds for an
12:34.487 --> 12:39.391
overly sensitive generation offended by almost anything.
12:39.458 --> 12:41.927
How will they cope in
life if the story of
12:41.994 --> 12:44.964
"Old Yeller" places them in
deep depression because
12:45.030 --> 12:48.467
they experienced the loss
of their beloved dog.
12:48.534 --> 12:52.238
Such a personal event
is painful--I understand
12:52.304 --> 12:55.441
that firsthand, but
it's part of life.
12:55.508 --> 12:58.944
And as the saying goes, at
some point--"Get over it."
12:59.011 --> 13:02.014
So why are these social
engineers doing this?
13:02.081 --> 13:03.849
What is their end game?
13:03.916 --> 13:06.085
Dr. Codevilla asks:
13:06.152 --> 13:11.157
Why does the American Left demand ever-new P.C. obeisances?
13:11.223 --> 13:13.092
He goes on to explain:
13:13.159 --> 13:16.729
In 2012 no one would have
thought that defining
13:16.795 --> 13:19.398
marriage between one
man and one woman,
13:19.465 --> 13:24.403
as enshrined in U.S. law,
would brand those who do so
13:24.470 --> 13:28.073
as motivated by a culpable psychopathology called
13:28.140 --> 13:33.412
"homophobia," subject to fines and near outlaw status.
13:33.479 --> 13:37.283
Note that dishonest use of
language is employed here.
13:37.349 --> 13:39.985
If you disagree with
homosexuality, for
13:40.052 --> 13:43.956
any reason, you must
be phobic--fearful.
13:44.023 --> 13:48.861
It's not politically correct
to say so, but that's a lie.
13:48.928 --> 13:50.829
Codevilla continues:
13:50.896 --> 13:56.135
Not until 2015-16 did
it occur to anyone that
13:56.202 --> 13:58.804
requiring persons with
male personal plumbing
13:58.871 --> 14:02.341
to use public bathrooms
reserved for men was
14:02.408 --> 14:05.277
a sign of the
same pathology.
14:05.344 --> 14:09.548
Why had not these become part
of P.C. demands previously?
14:09.615 --> 14:12.551
Why is there no
canon of P.C. that,
14:12.618 --> 14:16.155
once filled, would require
no further additions?
14:16.222 --> 14:20.526
Because the point of P.C.
is not and has never been
14:20.593 --> 14:23.896
merely about any of the
items that it imposes,
14:23.963 --> 14:27.733
but about the
imposition itself.
14:27.800 --> 14:31.003
Yes, there's an agenda behind our changing language.
14:31.070 --> 14:34.039
It's part of a larger
attempt to muzzle speech
14:34.106 --> 14:35.908
and control thought.
14:35.975 --> 14:39.445
We must not see political
correctness, as isolated from
14:39.511 --> 14:43.215
other ideas promoted by
these social ideologues.
14:43.282 --> 14:48.287
Our DVD, "A Culture in Crisis", looks at three threads that
14:48.354 --> 14:52.191
must be understood as an
assault on Godly values.
14:52.258 --> 14:56.161
This DVD contains telecasts
that were banned in some
14:56.228 --> 14:59.431
places, because they spoke truths that illiberal
14:59.498 --> 15:02.167
leftist censors
could not stand.
15:02.234 --> 15:06.305

Probably not all people behind Political Correctness
15:35.668 --> 15:39.171
are avowed Marxists, but
they understand that how
15:39.238 --> 15:42.775
people express themselves linguistically, changes
15:42.841 --> 15:44.176
how they think.
15:44.243 --> 15:47.713
And don't be naïve--these
people are dedicated to
15:47.780 --> 15:49.882
changing the way that
you and I think.
15:49.948 --> 15:54.019
While some changes appear
humorously silly, others
15:54.086 --> 15:56.989
have a darker reason
behind them--to turn
15:57.056 --> 16:00.893
upside down all biblical
and traditional values
16:00.959 --> 16:05.664
and bring about an amoral,
anything-goes world.
16:05.731 --> 16:09.568
Immoral choices are promoted, but if that choice brings
16:09.635 --> 16:12.571
tragic results, it's
never one's fault.
16:12.638 --> 16:15.741
A drug addict must be
referred to as someone
16:15.808 --> 16:17.976
who is chemically dependent.
16:18.043 --> 16:21.180
This deflects personal
responsibility and
16:21.246 --> 16:22.948
the stigma of the truth.
16:23.015 --> 16:26.251
After all, much of current
pop-psychology involves
16:26.318 --> 16:28.554
convincing us that
whether we are:
16:28.620 --> 16:33.025
Addicted to drugs, abusing alcohol, over-eating,
16:33.092 --> 16:36.795
hopelessly in credit
card debt, or
16:36.862 --> 16:41.967
chronically late for work,
it is not our fault.
16:42.034 --> 16:45.270
Tardiness syndrome is the
label, but frankly, your
16:45.337 --> 16:48.374
boss doesn't care about
labels--show up for work
16:48.440 --> 16:52.911
on-time or be fired,
or as P.C. puts it--
16:52.978 --> 16:55.781
"become a victim
of restructuring."
16:55.848 --> 16:59.818
Much of what is called P.C.
goes beyond a distraction--
16:59.885 --> 17:02.121
it's dishonest deception.
17:02.187 --> 17:05.691
When we know someone who is clumsy and refer to him as
17:05.758 --> 17:10.129
uniquely coordinated, it's
as though he, first of all,
17:10.195 --> 17:13.832
is coordinated, just different from the rest of us.
17:13.899 --> 17:17.703
And the illegal alien is
exactly that, but these
17:17.770 --> 17:20.572
social engineers don't want
us to state the truth.
17:20.639 --> 17:24.443
To them, he is neither
illegal nor an alien,
17:24.510 --> 17:27.012
but an undocumented worker.
17:27.079 --> 17:30.115
Such an expression deflects
from the truth that he is
17:30.182 --> 17:32.785
in the country illegally.
17:32.851 --> 17:36.789
Juvenile delinquents
become children at risk.
17:36.855 --> 17:39.124
Now of course they're
children at risk,
17:39.191 --> 17:40.893
because they're delinquent.
17:40.959 --> 17:44.563
And here is one that MS
Word seeks to change:
17:44.630 --> 17:48.033
mankind, to humankind.
17:48.100 --> 17:52.504
Now while humankind is a legitimate word, why the
17:52.571 --> 17:57.342
insistence on avoiding the equally legitimate word mankind?
17:57.409 --> 18:00.579
What is behind this is
something quite sinister.
18:00.646 --> 18:03.282
It's part of a broad
design to degrade both
18:03.348 --> 18:07.186
men and women and the roles
they play in society.
18:07.252 --> 18:10.155
Anything with man in
it must be changed:
18:10.222 --> 18:13.459
man on the street
to average person,
18:13.525 --> 18:19.131
man up to be brave, manhole
to maintenance hole,
18:19.198 --> 18:25.137
man-made to synthetic, and, manpower to workforce.
18:25.204 --> 18:28.173
And rather than man or woman,
they would like us to
18:28.240 --> 18:29.842
simply say, people.
18:29.908 --> 18:31.310
Why?
18:31.376 --> 18:35.113
Is it too difficult to discern the agenda behind it all?
18:35.180 --> 18:38.584
The attack against the way
we were made is relentless,
18:38.650 --> 18:41.820
and political correctness
is a powerful tool
18:41.887 --> 18:45.057
to transform the
way we think.
18:45.123 --> 18:48.293
What may have appeared silly
and humorous at first,
18:48.360 --> 18:52.865
has become a relentless attack on normality and morality.
18:52.931 --> 18:55.701
Nowhere is there a more
sinister attempt to change
18:55.767 --> 18:58.737
thinking than in the matter
of the way God made us--
18:58.804 --> 19:00.506
male and female.
19:00.572 --> 19:03.876
Even if an American Supreme Court Justice cannot
19:03.942 --> 19:07.446
tell us what a woman is,
any normal thinking person
19:07.513 --> 19:11.550
without an agenda or
panel to satisfy, can.
19:11.617 --> 19:15.420
You are here, able to read
this, as the result of a
19:15.487 --> 19:19.625
sperm from a man, and an
ovum (or egg) from a woman,
19:19.691 --> 19:23.896
coming together and carried in the womb of a woman, not a man.
19:23.962 --> 19:26.698
But how often we hear
people fall prey to
19:26.765 --> 19:31.203
leftist jargon, as in "the
gender assigned at birth."
19:31.270 --> 19:34.206
No, dear friends,
it is not assigned--
19:34.273 --> 19:38.210
it's biology, and every
right-minded person knows that.
19:38.277 --> 19:41.914
We should not fall for such destructive word games.
19:41.980 --> 19:45.117
Yes, there is a very small
percentage of people who are
19:45.183 --> 19:48.453
born intersex, meaning
that their genitalia are
19:48.520 --> 19:52.991
ambiguous, but to use this
rare fact is a ruse.
19:53.058 --> 19:55.427
These are not the men
competing in women's
19:55.494 --> 19:58.363
sports or invading
women's changing rooms.
19:58.430 --> 20:01.099
These are not the girls
encouraged by social media
20:01.166 --> 20:04.436

insecurities by taking
20:04.503 --> 20:08.774

their chests, or worse.

At the end of the last

21:43.669 --> 21:46.004
I said I would answer
the question,
21:46.071 --> 21:49.641
"Would Jesus be led about
by political correctness?"
21:49.708 --> 21:52.811
The answer is
quite simply, no.
21:52.878 --> 21:56.448
God does not conform to
mankind's agenda-driven
21:56.515 --> 22:00.318
word games of oppression
wrapped in compassion.
22:00.385 --> 22:03.755
He calls human actions
as they truly are.
22:03.822 --> 22:07.392
1 Corinthians 6:9 tells us:
22:07.459 --> 22:09.628
"Do you not know that
the unrighteous will
22:09.695 --> 22:11.763
not inherit the
kingdom of God?
22:11.830 --> 22:13.832
Do not be deceived.

Neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers,
22:18.637 --> 22:22.474
nor homosexuals, nor
sodomites, nor thieves,
22:22.541 --> 22:26.712
nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers,
22:26.778 --> 22:30.415
nor extortioners will
inherit the kingdom of God."
22:30.482 --> 22:34.186
God does not sugarcoat
immorality, paper over
22:34.252 --> 22:37.522
lies, or fail to punish
for unrepented sin.
22:37.589 --> 22:43.295
He says it as it is,
in Revelation 21:8...
22:43.361 --> 22:47.632
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers,
22:47.699 --> 22:52.771
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars
22:52.838 --> 22:55.540
shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire
22:55.607 --> 22:59.177
and brimstone, which
is the second death."
22:59.244 --> 23:02.214
Furthermore, the prophet
Isaiah condemns those who
23:02.280 --> 23:05.951
play word games and turn
language upside down,
23:06.017 --> 23:08.487
calling evil good
and good evil.
23:08.553 --> 23:10.322
It is God who
is the reliable
23:10.388 --> 23:12.824
source determining
right from wrong.
23:12.891 --> 23:15.127
Isaiah 5:20...
23:15.193 --> 23:18.864
"Woe to those who call evil
good, and good evil;
23:18.930 --> 23:23.502
who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
23:23.568 --> 23:27.506
who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!"
23:27.572 --> 23:30.709
Supposedly intelligent
university students may
23:30.776 --> 23:33.845
not be able to tell you
how many sexes there are,
23:33.912 --> 23:37.315
yet for most of us,
it's quite simple.
23:37.382 --> 23:42.420
A child is born, and parents rejoice over a boy or a girl.
23:42.487 --> 23:46.224
Until recently, they did not fret over some dishonest
23:46.291 --> 23:50.395
socialist-inspired construct that the newborn falls
23:50.462 --> 23:52.164
within a spectrum.
23:52.230 --> 23:55.333
They naturally understand
by observation.
23:55.400 --> 23:59.838
While addressing the Pharisees, Jesus confirms what Moses
23:59.905 --> 24:04.109
recorded in Genesis 1, that there are only two sexes.
24:04.176 --> 24:08.079
Note it in Matthew 19:4...
24:08.146 --> 24:10.916
"And He answered and said
to them, "Have you not
24:10.982 --> 24:13.585
read that He who made them
at the beginning 'made
24:13.652 --> 24:17.856
them male and female,' and
said, 'for this reason a
24:17.923 --> 24:20.492
man shall leave his father
and mother and be joined
24:20.559 --> 24:24.696
to his wife, and the two
shall become one flesh'?"
24:24.763 --> 24:27.132
None of this is meant
to say that we should
24:27.199 --> 24:29.100
needlessly offend anyone.
24:29.167 --> 24:32.704
The Apostle Paul instructed
the people of Colossae,
24:32.771 --> 24:35.540
in the fourth chapter,
and verse 6:
24:35.607 --> 24:39.845
"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt,
24:39.911 --> 24:43.481
that you may know how you
ought to answer each one."
24:43.548 --> 24:47.519
And when Jesus came and spoke
in His hometown synagogue,
24:47.586 --> 24:50.388
Luke 4:22...
24:50.455 --> 24:53.325
"... all bore witness to
Him, and marveled at
24:53.391 --> 24:56.862
the gracious words which
proceeded out of His mouth."
24:56.928 --> 25:00.732
Yet, He did not shy away from speaking the truth to them.
25:00.799 --> 25:03.735
He, nor we, should
enter into someone's
25:03.802 --> 25:06.271
fantasy world of confusion.
25:06.338 --> 25:08.406
We should speak the truth.
25:08.473 --> 25:12.077
And Jesus was never concerned
about pleasing men, paving
25:12.143 --> 25:16.047
over the truth, nor being
politically correct.
25:16.114 --> 25:18.950
The result of His honesty
with those of His hometown
25:19.017 --> 25:21.152
is found a few verses later.
25:21.219 --> 25:23.521
"So all those in the
synagogue, when they heard
25:23.588 --> 25:27.158
these things, were filled
with wrath, and rose up
25:27.225 --> 25:30.228
and thrust Him out of the
city; and they led Him to
25:30.295 --> 25:33.265
the brow of the hill on which their city was built,
25:33.331 --> 25:36.635
that they might throw Him
down over the cliff."
25:36.701 --> 25:39.671
Yes, there's sometimes danger
in speaking the truth,
25:39.738 --> 25:45.844
and doing so requires two things--honesty and courage.
25:45.911 --> 25:49.414
Political correctness is
seen by many to be either
25:49.481 --> 25:52.984
silly and harmless, or
caring and compassionate.
25:53.051 --> 25:57.923
It may be silly, but it's not
harmless, it's not caring,
25:57.989 --> 26:00.225
and it's not compassionate.
26:00.292 --> 26:04.262
Satan is the father of lies, and he must revel in the party joke;
26:04.329 --> 26:08.300
Comrade, your statement
is factually incorrect.
26:08.366 --> 26:09.701
Yes, it is.
26:09.768 --> 26:12.337
But it is politically correct.
26:12.404 --> 26:16.241
As Bill Lind concluded his "Campus Report" and that
26:16.308 --> 26:18.910
was 24 years ago, he said:
26:18.977 --> 26:23.715
In conclusion, America [and
I'll add Canada, Australia,
26:23.782 --> 26:26.484
New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and some other countries]
26:26.551 --> 26:29.254
today is in the throes
of the greatest and
26:29.321 --> 26:32.023
direst transformation
in its history.
26:32.090 --> 26:34.960
We are becoming an
ideological state,
26:35.026 --> 26:38.496
a country with an official
state ideology enforced
26:38.563 --> 26:40.398
by the power of the state.
26:40.465 --> 26:43.001
In "hate crimes" we now
have people serving
26:43.068 --> 26:45.870
jail sentences for
political thoughts.
26:45.937 --> 26:48.239
And the Congress is now
moving to expand that
26:48.306 --> 26:50.408
category ever further....
26:50.475 --> 26:54.980
It's exactly what we have seen happen in Russia, in Germany,
26:55.046 --> 26:58.950
in Italy, in China, and
now it's coming here.
26:59.017 --> 27:01.486
And we don't recognize
it because we call it
27:01.553 --> 27:04.255
Political Correctness
and laugh it off.
27:04.322 --> 27:08.426
My message today is that
it's not funny, it's here,
27:08.493 --> 27:11.963
it's growing and it will
eventually destroy,
27:12.030 --> 27:14.566
as it seeks to destroy,
everything that we
27:14.632 --> 27:18.737
have ever defined as our
freedom and our culture.
27:18.803 --> 27:23.308
Political Correctness is part of a larger agenda at work today.
27:23.375 --> 27:26.211
There is nothing
innocuous about it.
27:26.277 --> 27:28.713
It may not have been
around when Jesus walked
27:28.780 --> 27:31.483
the earth, but understand
from the scriptures that
27:31.549 --> 27:34.219
Jesus and His servants
would not have fallen
27:34.285 --> 27:37.455
prey to an agenda
hostile to scripture.
