Vox Day found this, but it is not his, so I am going to share it.

The problem here, you see, is not race. It is virtue signalling. It is assuming that if you let others in, and have no restrictions on movement, including your enemies, you are being loving. It assumes that love is acceptance, when it is the encouragement of virtue. We don’t want those whom we love to keep their bad habits, but to improve.

Love hopes all things… because we all need to improve in all things. Love does not accept sin. Instead it confronts and prays for the sinner.

And in this fallen world, our enemies are everywhere.

Love is not accepting our enemies and letting them destroy us.

Love is not signalling virtue and alliance with those who hate us.

Love is not weak. It is merciful, yes, gentle yes, but the alternatives are a correct judgement and the correct use of force: mercy holds back the wrath we rightly deserve.

And the Churchians preach a new gospel.

Virtually every Christian I know is grossly unfamiliar with the vast quantity of Scripture that qualifies or limits the simpleton’s ‘love-love-love-the-unbelievers’ chant. All they seem to know is John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13 (which, incidentally, unbelievers LOVE to quote against us to prove we’re racists, haters, Pharisees, misogynists, blah blah blah if we try to operate in reality).

For every biblical exhortation to love, there are AT LEAST an equal number of passages warning believers not to be stupid about it, not to waste it on those who trample on it, not to conform to worldly standards for it, not to get entangled by it with those outside the church, etc. What Christians are fed today from the pulpit is an incredibly cherry-picked fraction of the truth by a pack of Baby Boomer seminary pussies.

Tell them to actually read their Bibles for a change.

There is a reason that I blog the lectionary. It covers all of scripture, over a four year cycle. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read the bible cover to cover. Yes, we are to love. God loves us. But without his mercy, we would rightly perish. And substituting his mercy with some kind of blanket acceptance of evil is no gospel.

And if we have no gospel, we have no access to Christ, and we will perish. May that never be.
