Scripture for Today, 2-12-20: Bible Attacked in UK

UK Judge in Anti-Christ Court:
​Bible Is Incompatible with Human Dignity"
"The time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.​"

2 Timothy 3:2-4, 4:2-3; Mark 10:6; Genesis 1:27

2-12-20, * -- In another sign that Britain has officially entered a post-Christian age of barbarism, a judge in the United Kingdom just ruled that belief in the Bible is “incompatible with human dignity.”  Christian Legal Center attorney Michael Phillips noted that this ruling officially excludes Christians from legal protections. 

However, the only reason that “human dignity” exists is that God–the author of the Bible–made man in His image. Without God, there can be no inherent value to human life at all.

The crazy case in the U.K. involved a self-proclaimed “transgender” [homosexual] man who wanted his doctor to refer to using objectively incorrect pronouns of the opposite sex. Citing Genesis 1:27, though, which states the fact that God created people male and female, Dr. David Mackereth refused to play along with the delusion. Of course, Romans 1:27 makes clear that certain truths–the fact:
​

1. God exists and is the Creator of All
2. There are men and women nobody needs a Bible to realize that God created people as male and female.
3. Every strand of DNA testifies to this truth there are differences in the sexes

In his court filings with the Employment Tribunal, Dr. Mackereth said he “holds to the principles of the Great Reformation of the 16th Century including a commitment to the supremacy of the Bible as the infallible, inerrant word of God as his final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”

The good doctor argued that authorities discriminated against him and his religious beliefs. However, the court ruled that “belief in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment are incompatible with human dignity.” (2 Timothy 4:2-3)

The court also claimed that adhering to one’s belief in the Bible would “conflict with the fundamental rights of others, specifically here, transgender individuals.”And so, unable to play along with the patient’s dangerous and objectively false delusion, Dr. Mackereth lost his job at the Dept for Work and Pensions.

The Christian Legal Center that represented Dr. Mackereth warned that the ruling against the Bible and Christians would have “serious ramifications” for Christian professionals and all others.“The judgment dictates the language that professionals must use in the workplace. The ruling contradicts scientific reality and will undermine freedom of speech."

It was not immediately clear whether doctors might also be forced to play along with the dangerous delusions of bulimics and anorexics–potentially even to the point of being forced to provide liposuction. But that would be just as reasonable, or just as ridiculous, depending on one’s views on truth and reality. [..snip]

In 2008 Sweden a court case concluded that God’s Word was a violation of Swedish “hate speech” laws, but at this time it was impractical to ban it.

Today, across the United Kingdom and Sweden, two once-great Christian nations, Christians can be and are being literally arrested and jailed for stating the truth about marriage, sexuality, and gender as revealed in Holy Scripture.

The Apostle Paul described the Tribulation as birth pains. “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman and they will not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3

This event follows the Rapture and the removal of the Church [1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9].  The apostle Paul re-emphasizes the absence of the Church from this time period by saying, “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Matthew 24:9; John 14:6; Revelation 6:12-17, 12:2

​Jesus described the Tribulation using some of the same imagery as Jeremiah 30:7. In Matthew 24:6-8 He stated that the appearance of false Christs, wars, rumors of wars, famines and earthquakes are “the beginning of birth pains.” Jeremiah 30:7 says, “That day is great so that none is like it.” 

This current time in history is unparalleled and fits the prophecy; one point alone ... when in history has the world killed millions of unborn babies lawfully? Gleefully up to and including the natural day of their birth?? They cheered in New York. It's estimated that 61 million babies have been murdered in abortion. 

​On the bright side, the Church tends to grow under persecution. God will not be mocked. And Christ is already victorious. Psalm 110:6
