Liberals Subvert Constitution, Bible

In these turbulent times, we often hear the media say the U.S. Constitution is a flexible document and can be interpreted according to the times in which it is applied. They like to call it a “living document.” Sadly, political progressives attempt to use use the same argument in regard to the Bible.

It’s a another liberal tactic to bastardize scriptures in order to reinterpret and rewrite the Bible. The intent, of course, is to prop up their brand of politicized theology. At The Washington Post, Marxist ideas have been attributed to the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus’ parable of the talents became a class warfare lesson. The Huffington Post tells readers that the Bible champions homosexuality. At the pro-abortion site RH Reality Check, a writer misinterprets passages in Genesis to argue that the Bible supports abortion.

Certainly, these attempts to subvert the message of the scriptures is blasphemous and carries a curse to whoever attempts to re-write the passages. However, that doesn’t keep the “progressives” from doing trying anyway.

Here are some of the latest attempts by the left to hijack Jesus from conservative Christians:

When a newly discovered fragment of papyrus was purported to suggest Jesus had a wife, all three broadcast networks hyped it on their morning and evening shows (an “ancient clue … right out of the ‘Da Vinci Code,’” Diane Sawyer gushed.). When sources like The Washington Post, The New York Times and even NBC News online reported a few days later that authorities declared the fragment to be a “fake,” no broadcast network covered it.

Liberals who would use the Bible as a “tool of progressive social change” misunderstand, denigrate and trivialize the word of God. The Bible’s imperative to care for the poor doesn’t mandate government as the vehicle for that care. To claim that “Jesus was an occupier,” as Jesse Jackson and Washington Post contributor Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite have done, is shoehorning Christianity into a narrow, left-wing political framework.

Liberals have twisted the Bible to justify a variety of modern sins. The web site Jezebel insisted the Bible is pro-abortion because “there are zero Bible passages that mention abortion, as in ‘don't do it.’” It’s even popular among militant homosexuals to assert that Jesus was one of them.

The entertainment industry uses Biblical imagery and themes in ways it wouldn’t dare to do with other religions, and certainly not with the Koran. From Lady Gaga’s celebration of Judas to Glee’s ongoing “God Squad” punch lines to Dan Brown peddling politically correct conspiracy theories, Hollywood gets rich mocking Christianity and its Scriptures.

The practice of twisting, adding to and obscuring the traditional meaning of Bible passages to sanctify modern liberal ideas is sacrilegious and deeply offensive to Christians. It’s difficult to imagine liberals doing the same with any other religion’s Holy Scripture – certainly not the Koran.
