Why Does the World Hate the Name of Christ?

Pennsylvania: Beaver High School Graduate, Moriah Bridges' Prayer Was Deemed Illegal!
 Jesus said, "They compassed Me about also with
words of hatred; and fought against Me without
a cause." Psalm 109:3 & John 15:25
Picture
6-13-17, Pennsylvania, FoxNews -- Beaver High School graduate, Miss Moriah Bridges was asked to provide what they call the closing "exercise" [aka prayer] at her June 2, 2017 graduation ceremony. However, the following beautiful prayer she composed was deemed unlawful:
 
“Lord, surround us with grace and favor everywhere we go. Soften our hearts to teach us love and compassion, to show mercy and grace to others the way that you showed mercy and grace to us, even to the ultimate sacrifice. Help us love our brothers and our sisters deeply. Lead us to bless them. Make us selfless. Make us just. Make us successful people, but more than that, make us good people. In the matchless name of Jesus. Amen”
 
On May 31, the principal Steven Wellendorf of Beaver Area School District notified the teenager that her prepared remarks were unlawful, unconstitutional, and therefore, impermissible; he said:
 
“The selected students may still address their class and indicate the things that they wish/hope for their class, but they may not do it in the style of a prayer and most certainly may not recite a prayer that excludes other religions (by ending ‘in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ” or “in the matchless name of Jesus.’”

 
Ironically, by refusing to allow a student to pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the school district excluded the Christian religion. But these days excluding Christianity to achieve inclusiveness is a standing operating procedure. [Unlike the 'inclusiveness' for Muslims.] Sigh. [1]

​​Why Does the World Hate the Name of Jesus?
The wicked world is controlled by Satan, therefore he and his followers [all who reject the name of Jesus are his followers] reject all associated with His name as follows:
  1. Authority  –  All authority that men have in this earth derives from Jesus Christ.  Wicked people want to be their own boss therefore His authority is rejected. [Rom 13:1-2; Col 1:18, Eph 1:22-23; Phil 2:10-11]​
  2. Accountability  – whether mankind likes it or not, all will give account of their lives to the true potentate, Jesus Christ. [Rom 14:10-12]
  3. Power – Jesus said after His resurrection that all power was given to Him [Matt 28:18] – yet men want to exercise & be recognized for their own feeble power. [Acts 4:10-12]
  4. Division  – He is the ONLY way to get to heaven. When mankind stands with the world; they are rejecting Jesus [Matt 10:32-34; John 14:6]
  5. Morality & Purity  - the world is consumed with lust and immorality; self gratification is its rule #1 -  The 'Ten Commandments' are our school teacher and Jesus added "Love your neighbor as yourself." [2]
  6. Righteousness –  wicked mankind demands his own righteousness - and he will die in his sins because only Jesus can forgive cleansing us in preparation for eternity with Him. [Rom 10:3-4, Matt 1:21]
