Do Police Fear LGBT More Than God?
Police officers are not cowards. They are brave men and women who routinely put themselves in harm’s way to protect citizens. We trust that law enforcement officers are given the training needed to successfully engage that which is unlawful, that which is criminal. They face bullets and blades from crazed criminals. Some officers are wounded in this battle against crime, some die. Yet they all go to face the threat on our behalf. So this means they already have something which training cannot give them—a willingness to go. A willingness based upon what they learned at a young age from parents, church, school, society—that there is right and there is wrong. Society applauds this courageous willingness to go and do battle for us.
Yet beyond merely knowing right from wrong, there is a greater virtue that society asks of its law enforcement officers, its prosecuting attorneys, its judges. It is the understanding that good must triumph over evil in a given situation. It is from this virtue that true justice proceeds. But not all of a society’s youth, including those who will become its enforcers, are afforded the same level of familiarity with this virtue. That is why those with discernment in enforcing good over evil must share this common wisdom with their peers.
The Watertown, Wisconsin pastor assessed the recent arrest incident there correctly. The young man reading the scripture was not in close proximity to the child sexualizers, therefore he was no physical threat to them. So, rather than calling a remote city hall, the on-scene officers should have been allowed to use their own discernment to enforce good over evil by simply observing. Their presence should have been the noble, traditional protection of the young man's constitutional right. He was doing right and good.
THIS IS GOOD
THIS IS EVIL
The child sexualizers on the other hand, were gallivanting in a provocative manner and alluring innocent children. They were doing wrong and evil; the kind of evil that gets into a little child’s psyche and never goes away, causing them serious problems later in life, and probably costing them their souls. This is why Jesus said rather than someone polluting a little child, it would be better that a millstone were tied onto their neck and they be cast into the deepest part of the sea. Their judgment day will be terrifying.
Those of you from an active Judeo-Christian background, you enforcers who therefore claim to know what good is, do you realize what else you are required to do? You are required to HATE evil. "Ye who love the Lord, HATE evil." (Psalm 97:10) It does NOT say, "Ye that love the Lord, "TOLERATE evil" or "NERVOUSLY LOOK THE OTHER WAY while evil destroys innocent children" and it most certainly does NOT mean "ASSIST evil by arresting those who have the courage to stand for GOOD." It says HATE evil, meaning stand firm, do not be fearful to do your job, which is to protect GOOD people FROM evil.
There is a third consideration, an anti-virtue called the Fear of Man. God says this is a deadly sin that can lead to our damnation at the great judgment. Revelation 20:8 says the “fearful” will inherit the lake of fire. The ScripturesUK website says, “These are not non-Christians as might at first be supposed, but are members of the church who, displaying cowardice in the time of testing, have turned and run away, or have simply given up the fight and surrendered to the enemy.”
Authorities everywhere, it is wrong to give preferential treatment to evil forces in our society. By doing so, you are going against your oath, your own better judgment, and society itself. We are commanded to pray for you, and we are doing that! So, fear God, do not endanger your own soul by being fearful of evil men. Refuse to carry out orders that make a mockery of God and His commands. Remember the German officers who were executed at Nuremberg for ordering Jews into the death camp ovens? On trial for their lives, they protested, “We were just following orders!” But as the noose tightened around their necks, they finally realized that their greater duty was to God and to GOOD men…and so is yours.
