What cancel culture is doing is what they did unto the prophets

ZNP · Mar 28, 2023

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

When I was last on Facebook they suspended me because "someone was offended by one of my posts". They didn't tell me what post was offensive, they didn't tell me what rule I had broken or even anything that would help me to correct the behavior they deemed offensive. Since my posts are focused on Christ and the church I concluded that Facebook did not welcome Christians any longer and so I shook off the dust and deleted my account. It was not easy to delete the account, it took 30 days, just as the Lord said, the dust will cling to you.

That was a few years ago, Censorship is not working for the tech giants so instead we are seeing a lot of insults and ridicule.

Projection

We are seeing a lot of projection. If they are spewing propaganda they will accuse you of that. If they are the mouthpiece for the main stream media they will accuse you of that. They accuse you of parroting when in fact they are the ones parroting the main stream media. They will accuse you of being hateful, intolerant and dishonest when the fact is that is what they are. They will say you are trying to tell people what to think, which is of course what they are doing. They will accuse you of acting as the thought police, which is what they are doing. They will accuse others of "twisting the discussion away" which is really what they are trying to do.

Arrogance

They will critique your post accusing you of "serious flaws" without so much as identifying them and laying out the case for why they are flawed. They will put themselves forward as smarter than you even though their own posts are foolish and make them appear to be a simpleton. They describe themselves in boastful terms, they are leaders, evolved, grandiose in their opinion of themselves. They will describe you as delusional. They will call you "infantile".

Insulting

They will accuse you of being anti Christian, say you aren't living by grace, accusing you of total nonsense. Again, they don't lay out a case for why they say this, simply set themselves on high and make these proclamations just like the "fact checkers" of a few years ago. You have a problem with people, or you have rigid thinking, not like them. Accuse you of fabrication and spreading garbage. They will say your posts are irrelevant and a waste of time, and yet they read every one and comment on every one. They will accuse you of being hateful, intolerant, and dishonest. They will accuse you of having a warped view of who Jesus is.

Hypocritical

Their questions are total hypocrisy, a put down disguised as a question. If you ask them a question you will be ignored, and yet they will claim to ignore you while reading every post. They think they are speaking for everyone else on the forum when in fact you can hardly find anyone else that would agree with that claim. For example "why do you think everyone is closed minded and biased like you?" Just an insult pretending to be a question. They will be incredibly thin skinned for someone pushing so many insults, accusing you of being pompous, when that describes them to a tee. Of course they will accuse you of being "the epitome of hypocrisy".

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

What is in their heart is to lift up the authority of the state over the authority of the constitution and over the authority of your conscience and over the authority of the Lord Jesus (the incarnated word of God).

Know this

39 And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit? 40 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher. 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

The Lord sends these ones to you to train you, to perfect you. Do not be conquered by the evil but conquer the evil with the good.

DHS heavily redacted Disinformation Board emails despite claiming agency had nothing to hide

When the existence of the Disinformation Governance Board burst into public view, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said there was nothing sinister to hide and claimed the office was rooted in "best practices."

A year later, Mayorkas' department is refusing to let Americans see most of the legal justifications and talking points it created to defend the now-disbanded board from "blowback," FOIA documents showed.

More than 100 pages of internal communication between the board's former executive director, Nina Jankowicz, and her staff were released with heavy redactions to the conservative nonprofit Citizens United.

What little is visible makes clear that DHS underestimated the negative reaction the board would provoke and was scrambling to find ways to keep the story from being pushed by "hostile" news outlets.

In the FOIA emails, Jankowicz cited "blowback and abuse" after certain media outlets began describing the board as the "Ministry of Truth" as word spread about its formation.

"There is a fair possibility this could end up on a hostile TV network in the coming days," she wrote.

https://justthenews.com/government/...sinformation-board-emails-masking-how-and-why

The first point the Lord makes is examine yourself. If all of your communications were made visible would you want anything redacted? You can't remove a splinter from someone's eye if you have a beam in your own eye.

The second point is this, a tree is known by its fruit.

43 For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

If they tell you that they have nothing to hide and yet have redacted all their emails you know they are liars. There should be no problem figuring out who to believe and who is a liar, who to trust, and who is bringing forth corrupt fruit.

Manhattan Grand Jury Not Convening Over Possible Trump Indictment Again This Week

JUST IN: Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Trump’s alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to an adult film star will not hear that case again this week, two court sources familiar with proceedings tell CNN via
@Lauren_delvalle
(First reported by
@NBC

39 And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

Lord Jesus, may the fear and dread of You fall on all of this evil society.

You are the alpha and omega, the first and the last, the bright and Morning Star. You are the hope that they cannot destroy. When they see this may terror grip their heart. You are the truth they cannot crush, the living word they cannot destroy! May they break their hands and their wrists when they fight against You. Jesus, You are the power within your children, You are the boldness inside them for things to come. When they speak may these cause ten thousand to flee before them.

Lord Jesus you are the voice within us that will not be stopped, may we run through them exposing them to be a paper tiger.

Lord Jesus you are the strength for us to face death because we will not refuse your Holy name. When their henchman see this may they fall down on their knees and declare that Jesus is truly in our midst.

Here Are Leftists’ Disgusting Reactions To The Horrific Nashville Christian School Shooting

Karine Jean-Pierre
During her remarks in Monday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre not only used the shooting to call for increased gun control, but appeared to blame the tragedy on Republicans.

“How many more children have to be murdered before Republicans in Congress will step up and act to pass the assault-weapons ban?” she asked.

Terry Moran
ABC News Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran wasted no time in seemingly tying the shooting to Tennessee Republicans, who recently passed legislation protecting minors from experimental transgender surgeries, wrong-sex hormones, and drag shows.

Mike Wise
Washington Post contributor and former New York Times columnist Mike Wise went out of his way to thank a Twitter user, who referred to Tennessee as “an intolerant state that brainwashes children through religious indoctrination.”

Rep. Don Beyer
The Virginia Democrat blasted Republicans with an unserious and bad-faith attack, saying the GOP thinks drag shows pose a greater physical danger to children than guns do.

Benjamin Ryan
In a now-deleted tweet, independent reporter and NBC News contributor Benjamin Ryan attempted to correlate the shooting with the fact that The Daily Wire, a conservative news outlet, is based in Nashville.

Anna Skinner
Newsweek Senior Writer Anna Skinner spent her Monday afternoon writing an article titled, “Tennessee Republicans’ Ban on Drag Shows Mocked After Mass Shooting,” in which she spun the news to be about bashing Tennessee Republicans and lamented that so-called “assault weapons” are still legal in the state.

Judgement begins in the house of God, but then it will go to the nations.

Lord you said that a house divided shall not stand. I pray that the satanic world rulers would be divided against themselves, outing one another, attacking one another, and bringing your hand of judgment on one another.

Lord Jesus — we pray that you would be a spirit of confusion in the minds of those that give no regard to you. Lord, in their confusion may there come forth great betrayal that will cause them to turn on one another and betray one another to the highest extent in their greed. Their heart is on gain and so may they become enemies to everyone. Lord Jesus we pray that everyone who puts their trust in money would be confounded.

Titus 3:10 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse

This word translated as factious means to cause division by a party or spirit. Trying to divide the church by a party or spirit is a factious man.

This word "reject" is to beg off of or from another. To refuse, decline, avoid. To ask to be excused.

It is not a small thing when people or media outlets are intentionally trying to divide the country or people. When you see something like that done repeatedly you know to refuse or avoid that one.

The NY Times had a phony whistleblower that they pretended was a high level official in Trump's cabinet that were stories intentionally designed to be factious. That tells me to avoid the NY Times. We have seen politicians like McConnell and Romney do this, so avoid them. Etc.

ABC’s Terry Moran Appears to Blame Today’s Nashville School Mass Shooting by “Transgender” on Republican Lawmakers Who Oppose Transgender Surgery for Minors

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...rs-who-oppose-transgender-surgery-for-minors/

The Biden regime immediately responded to the horrific shooting by bashing Republicans and demanding gun control, including a ban on so-called “assault weapons.”

Now the corporate media has started to blame the right. ABC’s Terry Moran on Monday night had the audacity to blame the mass shooting on recently-signed legislation by Republicans in Tennessee banning puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for minors

Obviously they know that half the country will reject this reasoning while the other half will accept it and the goal here is not to push some new law that will make a difference, the goal is not to argue that existing laws need to be better enforced, the goal is simply to be factious and cause division. Divide and conquer, that is the plan. Therefore, according to the Bible refuse to listen to Terry Moran and ABC. Avoid them.

Mainstream Media Finds the 'Real' Victims of Nashville Mass Shooting in Predictable Turn

https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah...lle-mass-shooting-in-predictable-turn-n723041

MSNBC's @AliVelshi: "Trans people are already more likely to experience violence simply because they're trans, so the Right focusing on that is uniquely dangerous & we have to respond to that ... So maybe it’s not mental health or video games or hormones. Maybe it’s the guns."

NBC News

@NBCNews

Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's gender identity: “We were already fearing for our lives. Now, it’s even worse.”

43 For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

The White House Doesn't Want to Answer Questions About IRS Intimidation

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katie...wer-questions-about-irs-intimidation-n2621283

Isaiah 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem: 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. 17 And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Is it cancel culture or is it just accountability culture?

ZNP · Mar 30, 2023

Dude653 said:

Cancel Culture : Cancel culture is a phenomenon in which those who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted or shunned.

I disagree with this definition because like you said this could be seen as holding someone accountable for bad behavior and the New Testament uses ostracism.

So when I speak of Cancel culture it uses ostracism, but does not employ the NT protocol. In the NT you go to the offending person, you tell them why you are offended, if they repent you have gained a brother if not you tell it to two or three others and if they agree with you they also talk to this person and again, if he refuses to hear them you then tell it to the church (the leaders of the community) and if they still refuse to listen then you publicly ostracize them telling the community why. This does not happen in Cancel culture. As I said, when Facebook suspended me for a month I asked what my offense was, they didn't tell me, I asked what rule I had broken, again, silence. I didn't get to talk with the person I had offended and there is no opportunity for reconciliation. This is clearly not "accountability".

Webster's Dictionary says the definition of accountability is: "the obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions." At work, that might look like owning a mistake and sharing it as a learning experience or giving a presentation around your personal contributions and their impact.

MLB moved the all star game from Atlanta to Denver because of "equity"? That has nothing to do with accountability, it was simply fear of the cancel culture mob.

Latest Evidence Lockdowns Were A Disaster: Child Shootings Skyrocketed In Four Liberal Cities

The government-imposed COVID lockdowns wreaked havoc on America’s youth emotionally, mentally, and educationally. Now, new data shows that child gun-related fatalities and assaults skyrocketed in four major liberal cities from March 2020 to December 2021.

New data from Boston University published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that during the first two years of the pandemic, fatal and non-fatal gun assaults for minors increased from a rate of 30 per 100,000 to about 62 per 100,000 during the pandemic in Philadelphia alone. Meanwhile, the rates in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles also increased.

Black children in particular bore the brunt of these tragedies. Per the study, black children were 100 times more likely than white children to be shot during this time. Based on the data, Philadelphia’s gun violence increased at a higher rate than its counterparts, PBS also reported. The authors of this study also did not include fatal shootings in Chicago, so the actual fatality rate is presumably much higher than the limited findings show.

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

During the pandemic there was a lot of hate of one another. Some people were claiming the lockdown was deadly and others attacked them as though they were trying to kill people. The same ones who scream "my body my choice" when talking about abortion were equally shrill screeching about trying to kill them if you didn't stay locked up in your house.

John 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

What the science, the data, the facts are showing is that the people who were sounding the warning concerning the governments actions were doing it in love, concerned about the health and well being of those involved while the screeching lunatics terrified of the pandemic and willing to sacrifice children to save themselves were not.

Be Warned

Romans 1:28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

It is very difficult to know that a person is filled with unrighteousness or wickedness. So you must pay attention to the tell tale signs that are easy to spot. Unmerciful -- this is easy to see. The treatment of the January 6th prisoners was heinous, without any question it was unmerciful. So when you see public officials justifying that behavior you know they are filled with wickedness and maliciousness. Without natural affection -- look at what they are doing to children, encouraging them to become transgender, to take drugs and be castrated without their parents consent or knowledge. When you see this you know they are full of envy and murder. Covenant breakers -- we have seen people behaving in a way that is clearly unconstitutional and also in a way that shows they know it was unconstitutional. What the FBI did with Twitter and the other tech platforms is one example. They tried to cover their tracks and use terms like "suggestion" and "advice" to justify censoring hundreds even thousands of accounts at the FBI's orders. These actions are a window into the heart and it is a heart of darkness.

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.

Why do you think when questioned they "forget". I heard in one deposition Fauci "forgot" hundreds of times. This is the same person who boasts of being smarter than everyone else and that "free speech" should only apply to the smartest and brightest and not to average Americans. They know the lies they told are worthy of death and yet they consent with these ones and practice this. 50 former intelligence agents lied about the Hunter Biden laptop, yet the lie was done in a way to absolve them of accountability. They never actually said the laptop was Russian disinformation, only that it had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.
